  1. Thanks Guy. That’s a good show to aim for. We’d love to come. We’ll stay in touch. To get back on topic - we’ll be running Accurascale Mk 2bs and 2cs. Andrew
  2. Hi SouthernMafia. Thanks for the offer but we probably have enough NSE Mk 1s, 2as and 2bs to cover our needs. We are even considering running a ‘diverted’ boat train using the amazing 2b FKs. Hopefully the layout will be ready to go out in 2-3 years time. Andrew
  3. Thanks Marke. Our JHAs have also been modified with washers to stop the rubbing. They are heavy wagons and will provide a good test for the 59.
  4. Newvaddon Parkway is having one of these beauties in Aggregates Industries livery. We plan for it to haul 15 Dapol JHAs up and down the bank on the branch line. Dapol and Farish 66s can’t handle them!
  5. Hi Flood. Many thanks for the info. Our Club are currently rebuilding Reading and we need Oxford-Padd and West Country sets. I am safe to assume that I can mix the blues. I am also conscious that I can only run the Mk 1s with vacuum braked Mk 2s. For my home layout I want to run Mule sets so will stick with the lighter blue 2as, 2bs and 2cs (TSOT). Here are photos of Reading before we dismantled it. We bought it from a lovely man who recently passed away. We are going to rebuild it as an exhibition layout. Andrew
  6. Thanks for the info brushman. I am happy to mix the dark Bachmann 2as with the light Accurascale 2bs.
  7. OK - what is the reason for the different dark blue colours on the Mk 2as? I thought that the dark blue sets were cascaded off the Kings Lynn services. However, this could be conjecture. Andrew
  8. I have received a pair of blue/grey TSOs. They are sublime. Probably the best coaches I have ever bought. I am loving the WR destination boards. Andrew
  9. I ‘m not sure about the boat trains as far as NSE blue is concerned. However, if you look at the YouTube clips by Old Oak and John Byne you will see dark and light blue NSE coaches mixed in the same rakes. Andrew
  10. Back in stock at Accurascale. I’ve just bought a pair of TSOs in blue/grey to bolster my WR sets. They were a bargain with the multi-coach discount. I am well chuffed!
  11. Looking good. That broken aerial needs to be replaced. I also have a broken aerial on my 56120. I use black painted toothbrush bristles. These are great for exhibition locos. Andrew
  12. I agree. Alex and the team are brilliant as regards Customer Service. They are also real enthusiasts and great to talk to. I am very much looking forward to the 60s and Bardon PHAs that I have ordered. Andrew
  13. Is anyone using Gaugemaster model GMC-HH handheld feedback controllers with their Accurascale 37s? I have a small exhibition layout that uses these. However, I gather that the advice is not to use them with locos using the latest ESU circuit boards. Before I go out and buy Gaugemaster non feedback controllers, I wanted to double check. Andrew
  14. Thanks Ian and Iain. Having spoken to Iain at Southampton Show and, having seen your latest advice, we are probably going to opt for ITrain. Andrew
  15. Just kicking off this topic again. We (Redruth MRC) are going to run a large exhibition layout with 110 points, 30 3 aspect signals and 16 uncouplers. We need route setting and train block detection (chiefly to allow the signals to operate prototypically). We have purchased a Roco z21 10820, a Yamorc YD8116 and a Yamorc YD6016ES-CS to get us started. We plan to build a small test layout so that we can get used to the system. We are now some 2.5 years after the last post in this chat and wonder how itrain compares with train controller now. Any advice much appreciated.
  16. We (Redruth MRC) are embarking on a huge project to bring ‘Reading’ to exhibitions. We purchased this fantastic layout and want to run the trains using block sections and route setting. James at DCC Train Automation plus David and the McKinley Team plus Iain (we met them all at the recent Southampton Show) have been a great help. We have just purchased Roco Z21 plus some mp1 point motors and a Yamorc YD8116 switch decoder and Yamorc YD6016 sensor. We are going to set up a short section of track with a couple of 4 aspect signals and learn the system. We too are on a steep learning curve!
  17. I have received excellent customer service from Simon concerning a lighting problem on my 37026. The problem that I had has been fully resolved. I cannot fault him and the team at Accurascale for their fast response and for sorting things out for me.
  18. Hi NTrains Yes, I received an email and have paid.
  19. I used the support contact on the site earlier this week and had very quick responses from Simon. Also I had excellent service.
  20. Happy Christmas to all on this thread. I am an unabashed Accurascale class 37 fan!
  21. Merry Christmas guys. Keep up the great work.
  22. I am a very happy man. I have been waiting for the unbranded ones and didn’t fancy debranding ECC models. They’ll look good on my layout ‘Carlyon Dock’
  23. Brilliant choice. I’ve had the transfers to do this for years and never plucked up the courage to do it. I’ve had this unit for haulage from Crewe to St Austell via the Marches in the early 2000s.
