Containing china clay used for the production of
lightweight coated paper for magazines, catalogues and brochures, this
traffic flow runs from either Antwerp Docks in Belgium where imported
Brazilian china clay slurry (kaolin) is loaded, or from Burngullow in
Cornwall to UPM-Kymmene’s Caledonian Paper Mill in Irvine – one of the UK’s
longest continuous freight hauls.
This starter set captures the
spirit of the Burngullow to Irvine flow, which although nowadays punctuated
with layovers at Exeter’s Riverside Yard or Newport’s Alexandra Dock
Junction, represents a colourful and very welcome sight to the modern
railway. We chose our limited edition Class 66 001 in DB Schenker traffic
red livery and three pristine ICA “Silver Bullet” bogie tank wagons to form
the basis of the set and if you suspend your disbelief for just a second,
you can imagine this train thundering past you while you walk along that
famous Teignmouth sea wall…
