...And a shot of the assembled model to whet the appetite:

Jack.

 

thanks for the pic--that looks just superb, even before it's got its Pre-TOPs:D BR Blue livery -- time to start saving those sponds.

 

cheers,

 

Keith

Just wondering if there will be a representation of the strengthener half way along each radiator slat, as seen here:

Bachmann did not bother:

But interestingly for all it's faults, the Lima Deltic did:

It's quite obvious from many photos in this thread that these grille supports will be present on the new Deltic.

As for the Lima version the less said the better !

With respect, I don't see them either. Look at the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsLQp93Y71o

 (DP1- tho no-one used that term at the time)

 

That market has been saturated by the NRM/Bachmann version. There were examples selling at Warley for £150, quite a bit lower than the dizzy £200 odd that they were going for in the early days on eBay.

Fair enough-but did Heljan satisfy the DP2 market...not bad but it did have a few wrinkles

Photo on Accurascale's website suggests not (yet)

 

it's probably on the snagging list 🙂

I feel the operator playable sound decoder samples should include the "Oh yeah" that concludes Satchmo's 'Wonderful World'.

At launch it was between this model and Hornby's 60 for best OO diesel on the market. Had Bachmann executed all their BR diesel traction models with equal finesse there would have been fewer opportunities for competitors to offer significant improvement.

Whole new body to tool, for a short time in service two livery rarity. Big ask when a great many of those interested will already have purchased the Heljan model.

Please please Fran consider doing an O gauge Deltic and 37

 

regards

Bob

Indeed. Those pointy windscreens (amongst the other numerous issues) on the Heljan example are awful. Really wanted an 0 gauge version but every time I look at it.............na. No way. Yet the Peak is lovely!

 Could not agree more Gary. An Accurascale O gauge Deltic or 37 mirrowing the sublime accuracy of the 4mm version would be irresistible

We should see them in December, our tooling amendments from a snag list are currently under way, so they will come first. Once completed we we see them on decoration samples.

 

Cheers!

Hi Fran,

Can't wait for this one!!

 

Al.
