Just entering the Irish post tracking number into the Parcel Force tracking system sorts this change. At least that's the way my Accurascale orders have been handled. Even individual accessory items. My Parcel Force deliveries from Accurascale have always required a signature. P Edited March 30, 2019 by Porcy Mane Spleening 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted March 31, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 31, 2019 (edited) I humbly offer Cemflo: The Movie.. A video of my running sessions as cameo's with the Cemflo's, with added sounds from various preserved/operational locomotives i've made over the years. Features 17,33,37,40,8F, Black 5, 9F, a bus on a bridge and a couple of surprises, with a nod to Porcy Mane's recent video. Also an Accurascale Easter Egg is outed by 3 passengers and a horse. As you see I don't really have space for scenery, you have to imagine that part. Edited March 31, 2019 by adb968008 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Accurascale Fran Posted April 1, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted April 1, 2019 Hi everyone, The blue circle cemflos are certainly getting a lot of love, but we really are enjoying the TOPS variants. What they may lack in pretty branding, they more than make up for in individual branding! We might be a tad biased though of course.... Cheers!

Fran I am tempted by the lack of branding on the TOPS vehicle. Does anyone have any evidence of lack of branding on pre TOPS cemflos? The earlier the better. It would add a bit more variation if I could backdate these wagons. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBAGE Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 (edited) While you're all there, has anyone seen anything of the Blokey here on RMWeb has previously repainted and weathered 11 Triang cemflos 'with metal buffers and brake cylinders' and has made a start on chopping up and shortening five Accurascale ones to match. He wonders what's the best way of widening the chassis. I'd like to help if we can track down the topic. Edited April 1, 2019 by RBAGE Just in case Tony is reading, I thought I had better correct the English/spelling mistakes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
