It's great that modellers like @DLIBOD17 are so kind to go out of their way to help us too. We are always really appreciative of these observations to help us make the very best models we can. It's the power of the modelling community and RMWeb at work together as whole and what it's all about for us! Cheers! Fran 10 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLIBOD17 Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Thanks to Fran & all the Accurascale team for taking onboard people’s comments. It was previously unheard of to be able to communicate with manufacturers & for them to actually take notice ! Thanks lads ! The amount of variations within a small class of 22 locos is incredible & all credit to Accurascale for incorporating all these. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Has to be said also that the Deltics were pretty much iconic wherever they went. I have been a 'closet trainspotter' over the years, but when I heard a Deltic would be in Lime Street - many years ago, I had to go ... and was definitely not disappointed!!

Would you believe it is something we only noticed ourselves the other day? Gareth was only talking about it earlier in the week and something we will be tweaking our artwork to reflect. Excellent spot and many thanks for pointing it out! Cheers! Fran And not something Bachmann picked up on.

Crisis Rail Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 (edited) It goes like this..... "Dear Bachmann - why are my Durham Light Infantry nameplates glued on all to cock?" The majority of modellers don't have anywhere near the same amount of nerdiness - yes nerdiness - as some. A nice touch for the select few.

G-BOAF Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Fran you might want to include a note in the box of Deltic 17 explaining that the nameplate on one side is slightly off centre as per the prototype, otherwise I know you will get letters/emails/compaints of improperly printed nameplates! Dare I ask if there is an update due on the progress of the Deltic? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realised that it was listed under 4mm sounds so not sure how that sound set would work on a 7mm model as presumably its been set up specifically for the Accurascale model.

RMweb Gold McC Posted December 31, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 31, 2020 (edited) Just to clarify there is no connection between Legomanbiffo and Accurascale on the Class 55 project, it was a direct collaboration between us and ESU Germany. The sound files are currently only available in our sound equipped Deltic. Edited December 31, 2020 by McC 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
