    I think it’s open for debate over who started work on the class 30/31 first…. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was Bachmann….

    John, thanks for the quick update…. It’ll be interesting to see if any other retailers start charging us GST for posting to Australia… particularly for orders below the GST threshold…. Andrew

    Thanks for posting about this…. I missed the Hattons Email….. please post their response…. I had a quick look at my pre orders, so I have some that if I cancel, I can’t order elsewhere (sold out), but the rest I can cancel and order elsewhere if Hattons are going to start charging me Australian GST for orders under S1000.

    Express please….

    Bit of a getting them up into the attic layout….

    Where are the Hymeks? I can’t see any in the Accurascale display…. I can see some in the display cabinet before it’s been cleared out…

    4 out of 5 of the original Provincial livery are still available to buy!!!!

    Bob, do you think that any of the companies want the erratic supplies, delays and all round difficulties that they are all experiencing? Long delays, unpredictable cash flows means that some of the companies will have been struggling to stay afloat financially.

    At least they are a bit more amusing to read than the ‘any updates’ question when the last 20 posts are all discussing the updates just released by the manufacturer….

    All Bar the green one! Seriously would take all 4 of the others suggested by Charlie. If I had to choose one, Strathclyde Carmine and cream.

    A class 47 is a big ask….. There already is the new high detail Bachmann 47, shortly to be followed by the new high detail Helijan Model… and to soak up the less detailed obsessed there is a Hornby 47…. The last time we had 4 choices for the 47, two quickly dropped off…. Helijans first attempt and the Vitrains model…

    I’d imagine it’s down to what the final retail price might be for 3 car units…. 2 car units are more affordable, so would probably be better sellers/more profitable for the production slot. I’m patiently waiting and hoping they release an update class 170…

    My 37’s roof looks fine with the removable section….though as you say, you’ll only be taking the roof off occasionally. I do think there is less chance of breaking something by having the socket easily accessible..

    I’m tempted as well, but not 100% sure about the pipe work all protruding forwards over the snowploughs….
  15. Andy Mac
    There’s a socket at the rear…………. sorry, I had to say it….. you baited me!

    As Bachmann found out…. You can’t really go wrong with large logo Scottish 37’s! Keep them coming!

    Check their website for product updates, it is kept up to date.

    How much do people think a newly tooled 3 car class 170 will cost? I wouldn’t be surprised if it came in north of £350/£400…..

    If you check Accurascales website, there August update on the mk5’s has a November in the shops estimate.

    The depot was demolished early 90’s….. wasn’t rebuilt till the 2000’s for those pesky horrible DMU things….
  21. Andy Mac
    Why? It’s a brand new model… what difference will it make?
  22. Andy Mac
    A Collectors club where the select few can sell on flea bay for a profit, the limited editions denied to non members? Accurascale have got it just right as it is….
  23. Andy Mac
    Have a watch of Dave’s review on Dean Park about the new Class 37…. The main criticism of the models is the protruding snowplows…. Perhaps that’s the reason Bachman weren’t really show casing them with the plows fitted….

    They do state that the bogies are not the production bogies, and are the EP’s (assume that’s the Engineering prototypes or similar), so I wouldn’t worry…. After all as they have said, it’s a roughly put together and painted coach, and they post all there development photos of their projects, warts and all, as they become available.

    I just find it amazing that when some of the manufacturers post on here and state unequivocally about the costs of manufacturing in China versus bring manufacturing back to the UK, that folk just don’t seem to accept the opinion/facts of people who have skin in the game…
