Accurascale Fran

Hi everyone, We're back on our travels again this weekend, heading to Sheffield for our "take over" of Rails of Sheffield this Friday and Saturday! Richard, myself and other members of the Accurascale crew will be on hand to meet you and show off our latest wares! Not only that, but Rails will be doing special in store promotions on in stock Accurascale models too over the two days. So, if you're in the area, make sure you stop by, say hi and meet the two teams of Accurascale and Rails of Sheffield. Perhaps plans for another joint exclusive model to follow the Class 89 might be discussed among management too over the weekend.... Maybe you could even tell us both what you'd like to see as our next joint venture over the weekend when you come to visit! Like the 89, it would be something niche, special and have a bit of magic about it. We'd be keen to hear your suggestions. We shall see you there!

Hi everyone, A bit of a late addition this one, but I will be attending the Wexford Model Railway Exhibition in the Sunny South East of Ireland this Sunday and Monday from 11am-5pm. I will be there with the latest IRM announcement as well as some IRM and Accurascale goodies for sale on the day. If you’re in the area it would be great to see you! Cheers! Fran

Hi folks, There has been a tech issue with Partially which we have been working on resolving which is why confirmations are being sent out. @McC can provide more details on the particular issue and what it means. Cheers! Fran

Hi folks, I know I said we would have an update on the 31s this week, but the factories have been off due to a festival and will be back next week. We just need to confirm some further details and we will post the full update then. Cheers! Fran

Hi folks, The ships are still chugging along the sea, but 66s should be in your paws in a couple of weeks! I know the handful of 66001s that are here already are getting lonely, but not long now! Cheers! Fran

Hi @adb968008, You're in luck! https://shop.srps.org.uk/product/pre-order-accurascale-oo-gauge-37403-isle-of-mull-dcc-ready-179-99-full-payment/ Cheers! Fran

Hi folks, Jus some more cab sneak peeks! More soon! Cheers! Fran

Hi @Torper, Rewheeling to -P4 using our drop in wheelsets does not invalidate the warranty. Cheers! Fran

Hi Mike, It is not defensiveness, it just allows our tech team to get an idea of the issue so they can suggest remedies such a tweaking switches, CVs or indeed sending the loco back. Seeing the loco in operation on the end users layout in its environment answers a million more questions than a back and forth via email or chat. At the end of the day, "a picture says a million words" and our aim is to get your matter resolved ASAP. This is the reason why we ask for video footage of the problem. Cheers! Fran

It's also disappointing that someone would sell a charity fundraiser for profit, and I am guessing that their profits wont be donated to the charity too, but maybe I'll be surprised! Of course, once the locos come into stock and we process all the pre-orders there should be some left over, so keep an eye on the website and you wont need to pay such premiums. Cheers! Fran

Hi @The Meerkat, It would depend if they were new off their ebay site or second hand. If it is the latter than no I'm afraid. Cheers! Fran

Hi Renbow, That sounds excellent, and indeed the Hornby Class 60 cab is also excellent and will be difficult to beat. As we go for lit cab dials we cannot print onto GPPS that small in such great detail required for cab dials , so we leave them clear. The handles are measured and to scale as per a real 31 (no stone left unturned etc). Perhaps this angle is a tad more sympathetic, but with the latest models we are really pushing the possibilities of injection moulding for parts size, assembly and finesse. Appreciate the feedback and glad you like it. Cheers! Fran

Hi folks, One more teaser before I head to the airport and head to Brum. Full update and lots more pics later next week! Cheers! Fran

Morning folks, We'll just leave this here... 🤭 Make sure you pop by, to see our (almost, we have amended the headcode font and fit) final production sample on the stand. A full update will follow in the coming days. 😎 https://www.accurascale.com/collections/brush-type-2-class-30-31 Cheers! Fran

Hi everyone, 37108 is making swift progress. Anyone on the M6 between Stafford and Birmingham should keep an eye out for it! I better start packing my bag! Cheers! Fran
