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Further to my last post - Shourtline's email address is no longer valid (bounces) and their last seminars were advertised in 2015.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.
 
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.............

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!

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

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..
