Well since they have the molding for 66001 the next batch it needs done DB red for todays railway modellers. has to be the way to go now they have it to use. As far as im aware the next ones they are doing are picked so might be a big reveal soon...........

The fact its based on the Hattons model has put this on a great footing and only improve,the Hattons one was nothing that could not be fixed and improved and not many for sale says a lot as to its quality. I knew my bet would be safe with Jim at the drivers seat,is the Accurascale driver scaned from the man himself for 100% accuracy??

Looks like a point issue rather than driver issue,only his pride will hurt and he will no doubt get plenty leg pulling about it by his workmates.

Its the GT with Janspeed exhaust...........could be the roof angle out.

If anyone could drive a 66 i would have bet on you being the man Jim..........

As always Accurascale have went the route of 100% accuracy by releasing 66001 into traffic first for the acceptance trials on layouts before commencing with the rest of the locomotives,we are back to 1998.

They are right on the money as the rucksack full of bricks guy is there for modelling shows......:)

As with any modelling Fran and the boys have to expand and make best use to improve their portfolio, not sure if and when the swimsuit versions are comming soon, look out little people,Bernard Cribbons eat your heart out..........:)

Its past April first so i guess Guinness does cloud your judgement e mail today We have our very first Accurascale model in stock in TT120 scale, and to celebrate, it's strictly limited to just 120 packs. Our Accurascale research pack of three figures is now also available in TT120 scale and in stock now! Produced using the latest 3D scanning and 3D printing techniques by our friends Modelu, they are also made in Britain! Depicting our model research team, they can be posed beside your TT models in a siding, just like how we research future on the real railway. Maybe you can use them to hint at what future TT models you would like to see us make, or just add a little cameo to a corner of your TT layout. Should we make models in TT? Sales of these figures may encourage us, or they might turn out to be our only ever model in TT120 scale. The power is in your hands!

Well booster on the launch table overnight and today should start launch tests by the look of closures. This should be the one to see a better re entry as the roll thrust problem will be identified and addressed for this flight test im sure.

Looks like booster eleven going to pad next few hours and road closure for testing tomorrow. https://www.cameroncountytx.gov/spacex/

Well it would make sence on Mars to use diesel to warm up and build an atmosphere in the long term.

The question is what would Sir William Stanier do and think about this,i guess he would approve.has to be a winner as he liked the colours,you know it makes sence.

Just out of interest,these are not in the container that the 66001 came in?? just with them asking for payment with months to go to the run 2 batch delivery...........is the tremor i feel in the force wrong.......

If you had said twenty years ago you could pay for model trains with apple they would have thought you owned a cider factory...............:)

Well gearing it down will give it more tractive effort but at what point do the plastic gears loose grip on the axle.......Hornby dublo did a test of pulling a youngter on a trolley with a model CO CO in the late 50,s but they had brass gears. Not long to wait for you to test them together but how many have a layout to pull scale length trains.

Dont know how many are on for inflated resale but by using the auction function you would at least not loose money and your not twisting anyones arm to buy it are you, even the spivs are just giving an option of getting a model if one missed out, you dont have to buy.

The falure here lies with who lets the ship sail,it was tripping the power numerous times on its stay in port,it will have been i guess get it our of here to see the back of it for now,its been in trouble before hitting a dockside..

Apparently a single screw ship and the smoke is off the stacks,i guess engines in full reverse as they knew it was heading for bridge as the ship called in emergency first,it would seem its had electrical issue all the time in port with overloads tripping........

The ship looses electrical power if you watch footage it goes dark and they get the power back but its too late to steer,apparently it dropped the anchor but was too late.

Hmm seems i attend to many shows then, and enjoy a bit chin wagg with you guys, its a nice touch though and puts names to faces and become buddys with a common interest, as Stephen has suggested a supply on the site for post for those who dont or cannot attend shows, one in the box for the international customers for there support. I guess its the having something to touch and remember a point in time thats appealling to some but just as useful to whack flys with in the summer and the bag full of bricks brigade who attend shows.Thanks either way Paul and Co

So is this in with the 66 models if its en route??
