New brand to our model train family i am interested. All of Those cars TTX sets are fantastic. Your layout is fine. Every layout needs some TLC. Excellent review & you detailing. These cars are in my checklist. Fine job. 👍🛤🛤
£300 incl shipping and tax for 3 cars to the UK. The cheapest postage they charge for economy delivery is £60 (6-10 working days) which for ANY other sellers would be £55 for MAX 2-3 day premium delivery at the door for the same money I'll just get the full scale for that price, looks like they don't really want to sell here otherwise they'd be more resonable with postage cost. PLUS, they'll charge me the VAt to sell, then I pay VAT to import to the UK. Living in a scamming world, if you accept it.
I forgot these cars existed. They had such an unusual boxy appearance that i starred at them wondering if they could have been converted from some other type of railcar. They were not the best to climb on because sometimes folks would hit their knee on them and, the distance between the second step and the top chord is extra long. The grabiron that is bolted to the side of the top chord is so narrow you can barely get a good grip with your boot. You literally use the tip of your boots to climb onto the top of the car. Top chord is that long square box the runs the length of the car that has the stencils 40/45/48. The top of the top chord where the grab irons are below the walkway had a either white or yellow carbody colored sand impregnated paint to act as an anti slip surface. I now remember that leaf spring made the car have a distinctively different bounce (more like a wiggle i recall) when the car was loaded. This brought back some memories for me.😊
I've been long waiting to see one of these models in action, and I gotta say, it looks like it's everything it was advertised to be, very impressive! Really like the insert too, great review James!
Wow! some sort of models. Well done Class One ModelWorks. James has hogged most of the superlatives (well done!) No doubt you will now thrill us with your next offerings in due course but I must agree with James in congratulations on your magnificent debut. Take a bow...
Great review James 👍 These wellcars are just what I've been looking for and glad someone has come out with them going to get a few to add to my intermodel wellcar and 89 foot trailor flats. Going to be a great addition.
Hi all, I've gotten a few emails and messages about missing some details in this review. My apologies as it was a long night last night of recording and editing to get it uploaded for a UA-cam launch late this morning . The length of the car body is 9 and 1/8th inches. Weight empty is 4.4 oz, one container added brings it to 5.3 oz and two containers added brings it to 6.2 oz. The trucks do have turning roller bearing caps. NMRA weight compliance is calculated as 1 oz plus 1/2 oz per inch of car body length. So with 9 inches of car body length the car should weigh 5.5 oz empty I think. I hope this helps answer any unanswered questions.
ok cool. Yeah I've seen so many containers they all merge together in my mind. I found out this morning the container I showed as testing was actually a Walthers one.
Nice Box so you get a well car and a Container oh car board it look so real the well car look great what kind of coupler on it. Brake line hose look good good review Sir James
Love the packaging and the overall model. However, there looks to be a pretty obvious color difference between the plastic molded parts like the ladders and the painted body. It doesn’t look like this in their advertisements. Maybe it’s just the lighting makes it more noticeable, but for how much this model costs you’d think they could have done a better job of color matching those.
Well, being INSIDE an Intermodal Yard, I always see the various COLOR differences...most of it from age, weathering, and such. With the TTX, it is that Yellow that tends to fade and get DIRTY quicker than with other darker colored Intermodal Equipment. It's definitely WORTH the HO Scale price of admission, although I haven't seen one in a number of years.
@@bnsfbuffmy Athearn containers fit just fine on my ClassOneModelWorks TWF10 well cars. No issues whatsoever. The Athearn containers drop right in perfectly.😊
@@hotrail8295 The Athearn 48’ ? My 40s and 45s fit fine, it’s the 48’ that has issues. Others have also reported the same. Would appreciate you letting me know about your Athearn 48 ft.
@@bnsfbuff yes, my Athearn 48 footers fit fine in the bottom well. I tried a few more and one of my Athearn 48s was a little tighter, but all still fit without forcing or breaking anything.
I am placing an order later today after seeing this video. You seemed tired though, was it a long day yesterday or did you wake up too early today? Lol.
These ugly looking cars remind me of the infamous Family Truckster car on the National Lampoon Vacation movie. Between the $65 price tag, and reports elsewhere of them derailing all the time, rest assured, they won’t be running on my rails.
As of today, I don't have any well cars ... because of your review of these beautiful models, that's gonna change!!
Great looking cars and containers. They've done themselves well (pun intended) with these.

man, the box is so nice, and with the window to see the model. I be hard bent to remove it from the package and just display it on a shelf
haha yep

Nice Video James. Thank you for taking the time to make and share!
These cars look and run amazing ! Great review !
Whoa, $400 for FOUR well cars, and EIGHT containers? That is amazing.
These cars look great. They also have a 6 axle heavy duty flatcar coming. And their first locomotive announced is the GP40.
Very nice review. Nice manufacturer !!!!!!! Good review 👍
Sweet.......more well cars!!

Hey James, great review. I am new to your channel and I just subscribed. The well cars look great and I enjoyed watching. thanks! 👍
19:08 I would add Scale Trains' containers have separately applied door locking rods and are $5 cheaper, but they only sell 40' and 53'.
ok cool. Yeah I've seen so many containers they all merge together in my mind. I found out this morning the container I showed as testing was actually a Walthers one.
One detail left out…. There has to be one door latch that won’t close completely and the handle must be hanging down…lol
great video cant wait mine are enroute

Very nice car. Great detail and prototype fidelity. My only disappointment is that Athearn 48’ containers don’t fit well.
They fit just fine though. He said there’s a tiny about of looseness but not enough to be an issue
@@TheBeeMan1994 I think he was showing a Walthers container. My Athearns don’t fit.
