Recognise these ore wagons

Wondered if anyone can tell me if they recognise the ore wagons behind the Roundhouse Davenport in this Youtube clip:

Would like to build or buy a similar string of these.

Hi David, I just saw one of those ore wagons for sale in the for sale section, some time back so I think it is sold, it's a LGB 40190, link for more info Shourt Line - Soft Works Ltd. - Products - G Scale LGB 40190 2 pack FRR Field Railway Locking Lever Operated Bulk Dump Cars NEW.
 
Thanks Alan,

much appreciate the prompt follow up. Don't know about Shourt Line however - never received a reply to several emails I sent them about LGB disconnects they had listed (purchased a second hand set from Canada in the end).
 
Further to my last post - Shourtline's email address is no longer valid (bounces) and their last seminars were advertised in 2015.

I suspect the business no longer exists which is probably why I never got a response re the LGB disconnects they have on the site.

These LGB 40190's are absolutely my favourite wagon of all time...and generally like the proverbial 'hen's teeth'!! I have 18 of them at present. Mostly purchased secondhand from eBay after which I like to re-spray and customise them. Here's a video from my line....

They certainly are a great looking little wagon - particularly when when hooked up as the rake behind the Davenport in the video!

Thanks Paul - do you wish to part with any of them?

I just got a response from Shourtline so it appears they are still in business but their email and the website is a bit amiss.............

sadly not David. They are an integral part of the CFR wagon fleet.

There are a few of these on eBay:


Not sure about the link title, but it is genuine.

Hi Jimmy,

Just had a good look at the link you provided.

Whilst "jollytoys211"is not listed as a dealer he certainly has an awful lot of stuff for sale (6 pages) - none of which appear to have had any bids.....

Descriptions of items are minimal and there is a lot of damaged or broken items as well - eg: Pardon our interruption...

I really don't know how you could manage to lose the socket spanner for the live steam reciprocating engine (Pardon our interruption...) - and £600.00 for a Bachmann Heisler that doesn't run is a bit rich..........

A near new in box one from the US is around the same price - however the postage to Australia is the killer from the UK and the US.

Don't think I would purchase off him as his photos are very poorly done and the descriptions leave a lot to be desired!

Someone selling this amount of items on eBay should be required to be registered as a commercial seller with appropriate recourse for buyers..............
 
NB: I used to be a licensed second-hand dealer (the business had possibly the largest collection of used British motorcycle parts in Australia) - we call these sorts of blokes "backyard dealers"...
 
Jolly toys, leaves a lot to be desired..
Claims not to know much about many of the items, so can deny knowing what is broken or missing..

Caveat Emptor, I believe..
