Paquete múltiple de tres vagones, NER 4T Chaldron

Paquete G: Stella Coal Co.: un ejemplo perfecto de cómo los Chaldrons se mantuvieron en servicio, siendo reparados según fuera necesario, hasta que solo sirvieron para leña. Tres calderos estilo S&DR, alrededor de 1950.

Contiene tres vagones, numerados:

  • 84
  • 33
  • 50

Cada paquete producido tiene como tema la mina de carbón, y cada vagón representado se basa en pruebas fotográficas y referencias a los registros de la mina de carbón para confirmar los estilos de letras. Algunos paquetes contienen solo un estilo de vagón, mientras que otros contienen estilos mixtos en los que la investigación ha demostrado que funcionan en conjunto.

Lista de especificaciones:

  • Chasis de metal fundido a presión con cuerpo de plástico. Peso de 9g descargado.
  • Opera sobre curvas de radio mínimo (371 mm, 1.er radio establecido)
  • Cinco diseños de carrocería diferentes, que cubren un período de 1840 a 1978.
  • Tres estilos de diseño de ruedas; radios divididos, radios en estrella y radios ondulados, hasta un perfil RP25-88 de calibre 00 ennegrecido.
  • Tres estilos de disposición de frenos y manijas de freno, con diferentes tipos de bloques y el freno de tipo cierre Londonderry más complicado.
  • Tres arreglos de 'tableros explosivos'.
  • 'Tableros codiciosos' adicionales y removibles (extensiones de tableros horizontales al cuerpo) al Chaldron construido por Shildon Works, lo que brinda una mayor carga de carbón.
  • Pasamanos de alambre de ancho de escala, acoplamiento de mordaza de pasador de metal y palancas de freno de mano de alambre/grabado.
  • Piezas de detalle de metal/plástico erosionadas, incluidas agarraderas, pasadores de seguridad de puertas, puntos de cadena del chasis y cadenas de seguridad en metal.
  • Vagones conectados a través de una cadena fina de eslabones completamente nueva con cabezales magnéticos de neodimio, conectados al vagón a través de un acoplamiento de pasador de chaveta prototípico.
  • Dos acoplamientos magnéticos NEM adicionales provistos con paquetes de vagones para permitir la instalación en locomotoras y/o material rodante adicional.
  • La obra de arte presenta marcas y números auténticos de la mina de carbón, precisos para el período de tiempo modelado y basado en evidencia fotográfica real siempre que sea posible.
  • Ayuda de investigación adicional proporcionada por Beamish Living Museum, Bowes Railway y North Eastern Railway Association.

Delightfully Quirky Wagons - 3

I bought these out of curiosity, mainly for display, along with the Vane/Londonderry and Seaham models. However, they are so interesting that I'm now looking for a way to incorporate them into a working layout.

Nice Little Wagons

I have no need for these little wagons but had to buy them as my Mother’s name is ‘Stella’. They make an unusual addition to my collection and as usual the quality is first class. Thank-you Accurascale.

Very impressed

Amazed by the amount and quality of details and livery finish. Very impressed with the magnetic couplings, so easy and efficient to use and in true keeping with the scale.

Chaldrons on the LMR

I have a rake of 9 Accurascale Chaldrons.

Firstly, they are gorgeous and look terrific behind Rocket and Lion. Very period correct. Some may want to offer the intermodal LMR coal wagons as a rejoinder, but the coal trade persisted using chaldrons! (Hint Accurascale: mechanical drawings exist for that intermodal wagon.) We also have illustrations of the navies working on the LMR with Chaldrons.

Now on to some performance. The inside bearings offer some frictional resistance beyond outside pinpoint bearings. The Hornby Lion can easily pull 15 pieces of Hornby LMR rolling stock, but experiences wheel slip with 9 chaldrons. To get the same level of performance with Lion, I must drop to 6 chaldrons. Rocket, with even less tractive effort, can only handle 3 chaldrons. Double heading Rocket and Lion is sufficient to handle 9 chaldrons but I am uncertain how many more they can handle.

The magnetic couplings are wonderful. Those who have the ferrous chains will know that the magnet will tangle up. Here is a simple trick to alleviate all of that. Get a larger rare earth magnet and use it to straighten the chain, keeping the magnet out of contact, but close enough for magnetic force to overcome the attraction to the ferrous chain.

Removing the greedy boards was an easy choice for me. Yet off chaldron, they are extremely fragile and will break. The purchaser would be well advised to decide on or off, and keep it that way. Too fragile otherwise.

Absolutely Wonderful!

The care and the attention to detail Accurascale put in to researching these wagons is only matched by the quality of the models themselves. They are not so much a model of a wagon type, but three models of three wagons, with distinguishing details that reward the patient viewer. Hands down, the chaldrons are the finest bits of rolling stock in my collection.

Delightful pack of wagons

Beautifully well detailed that really look the part. All in all, a delightful pack of wagons.

Amazing detail, brilliantly presented and a reasonable price for what you get. It misses out on a perfect score because of a couple of odd materials choices: if using magnetic coupling, it doesn’t make much sense to use steel for the chains and chassis as well.
