CDA - DB Cargo Clay Hopper

In August 2023 DB Cargo retired the last of the former BR/ECC china clay CDA hoppers after a service life of 35 years. These unique and distinctive wagons will be missed by enthusiasts but thanks to PECO, modellers can keep their legacy going in model form!

Note that the CDA wagons are now fitted with metal-tyred wheels as standard.

The CDA China Clay hopper, and the HAA Coal Hopper, are closely related, sharing the same design and operational principles, with bottom hopper doors opened to empty the contents, in the case of china clay, for loading into ships at Carne Point, near Fowey in Cornwall. As china clay must be kept dry special rolling tarpaulin covers protected the load, as featured on our models.

OO/HO Victorian Low Relief House Backs

The NEW Laser-Cut Victorian Houses

Alongside almost any railway there will be houses, and in model form it will be the low-relief buildings that will be of particular interest to modellers, especially as a feature along the backscene. We have been¬†working hard to develop a new¬†range of low-relief house fronts and backs, as well as the full building and we start off here with a typical semi-detached brick house typical of the Victorian period in Britain. You will be familiar with this style of house as they are still everywhere¬†in the UK!

Our kits have been¬†carefully designed for ease of assembly and feature some lovely detail. The texture of the¬†laser-cut surface replicates the¬†brick courses and slate tiles perfectly. Detailing around the windows and doors and the¬†inclusion of guttering and downpipes is noteworthy, as are the curtains¬†in the window and the provision of additional dormers (house backs kit) and bay windows¬†(house front kit), plus the optional pavement¬†around the¬†base. The dormers,¬†bay windows and pavement are included in the LK-208 full house kit too!

Several¬†kits can be combined to create a terrace of houses, so commonly seen in locations around the¬†country¬†in relation to the¬†railways. A row of house backs alongside the railway and against the backscene, a row of house fronts high on a hill above the station, or a street of semi-detached¬†houses in a town scene, the possibilities¬†are endless! The kits will need painting so the modeller can personalise each one, so necessary when you create a terrace of buildings.¬†No two houses would ever be the same. Acrylic paints are best. We demonstrate¬†this in our new PECO TV video.
