Of my 6 Dapol 73's only one was bought brand new and even then was at a heavy discount... Given most have been repainted/modified I'm happy I did not have to pay full whack for them. Hopefully can acquire a few 59's in a similar manner further down the road And of those 73's only 1 had 'running issues' which was a bent pickup, easily sorted. Lets not go into PCB issues etc on this thread

Have to wait and see if Dapol flew in a few ahead of the main batch for magazine reviews etc.......

Will there be more of the 'later' version made, proverbial hotcakes!!

I love collecting pens and keyrings, oh and USB sticks, and coasters, and MUGS Just need the signed photo of @Islesy now and my life is complete

Given its gestation period it deserves to be perfect - But still waiting to see what a production one looks like first

I'd not be holding my breath, when they are here - they are here, not before then......

Replica Railways chassis. There was a time a few years ago when Bachmann were selling off reconditioned 350 sets for next to nothing, this would donate everything you need here, even the pantograph

Thanks - in no rush at all, so will let you finish your coursework

How many did you order for yourself again?? 🤔

Hi Jo - would you consider 4mm versions of the number panels / plates in 4mm for the original livery??

But people seem to think that saying it and repeating it will change that, along with 'positive thoughts' Eventually after enough 'No's' it will become a 'Yes'. But Accurascale are not the Government......... Theres also the ancient art of 'modelling' to be considered. Forbidden tools such as 'the airbrush' and 'decal sheets' for starters..............

So you couldnt get a mere £30 together. Righto

It was made VERY clear initially that: 1. You could secure one with a £30 deposit and pay in instalments 2. The models were proving popular and could possibly sell out before delivery 3. Purple Gordo was one of the fastest sellers (and was either first or second to sell out completely) despite some naysayers saying 'who would want a purple Deltic - turns out lots of people did There's an adage that I'll use again about bringing a horse to water.......

Think this answers your question

Proof they are not the all powerful force they once thought they were. Courts are more powerful than any gun. Will make Series 2 of Hornby Vanity TV more exciting

Maybe dont buy as many if you are worried about running costs........ Can you run all 10 at the same time?

Doesnt matter, people want everything handed to them now, especially when its right under their nose, the link above could be a pop up that needs to be closed before you view the page and people will still look for the info There an old adage about bringing a horse to water

Not holding my breath!!! When they come, they come - not before then....

So why could he not contact Accurascale instead firstly? 'No, get my unnecessary opinion out there first' - the percentage of good vs ones with defects is miniscule

Its actually the second, the rather excellent IRM A Class was the first... Also sold out, wonder why. When first revealed the general opinion on the A was 'this bodes well for what is coming soon'

People have to find SOMETHING wrong with it, just the tiniest of things. Its in a lot of peoples nature, especially online with train people. Accurascale like every other RTR manufacturer strive to keep 99% of the people, 99% happy, 99% of the time. That's all you can do. There will always be the 1%, same in anything Personally I'm very angry and upset, actually I'm seething with rage that it took this long for a decent model of the Deltic to come along, and it took a rapidly developing company to see the gap in the market for such a model and develop it to the level that it deserves. They delivered, after a global pandemic knocked them 2 years back, its here, at the right price, with the correct detail, nobody did a runner with the deposits or more, and yet people still complain. Accurascale have pleased the 99% - Mission Accomplished.

CAD doesn't cost money to modify (unless you confirm it, then go back and start changing things) but even then CAD is cheap, its all still on the screen and tablet. Changing the tooling is very expensive once its been cut as several manufacturers have discovered be it the model is wrong or a fault with the tooling. Making high quality 3D prints at a 3 figure sum to print is still cheaper than making (or changing) the tooling. Amazing how I knew that and I'm not a manufacturer, surprised this one doesnt
