Moderators AY Mod Posted February 5, 2021 Moderators Share Posted February 5, 2021 I've just found a piece of video from someone who must have been standing next to me when I took this pic ten years ago. Shame about the wind and traffic noise but it could be first heard a good couple of miles away. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodenhead Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I am finding it increasingly difficult to not want to buy one or two of these and do an Eastern fueling point. Plus maybe a 45, a 47 and one of those class 37/0 thingies. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would certainly aspire one day to have many of the preserved production Deltics in model form (I've already got 5 of the Hornby Castles reprasenting, or to be renumberd, to some of the preserved machiens). It is brilliant that RTR is getting to the point where subtle detailed differences are being captured, meaning that to have say 6 of a class means that every model is materially different beyond just the colour scheme. Accurascale any chance of 'Deltic 22' in its bulled up preserved state, as per Andy's pic above, in which is was running on the main line (including revenue work on the Alcan trains?)?? Please please next bach???? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Popular Post Accurascale Fran Posted February 5, 2021 RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted February 5, 2021 GORDON'S ALIVE! A first look at our decorated purple Deltic Back in September 2020, we sent you our last Class 55 Deltic update, outlining the large amount of work still required to make our model the very best it can be. In that update we stated that the work was underway and we were due decorated samples in January 2021. Well, they arrived ten days ago, and ever since then we have been pouring over them to ensure they are up to snuff. Having assessed them, we have already fed our recommendations back to our factory to keep us on schedule for delivery in Q2 2021. We now anticipate that this is a deadline we will hit, albeit late in Q2, so this summer will see this purple reign on your layout. Our photographer is still processing pictures of our BR Green and BR Blue decorated samples. Look out for photos of them in your email inbox or on our website and social media channels next week. But for now, here is the highly controversial 9016 'Gordon Highlander' in Porterbrook Purple. Well, a shade of purple, but not the right shade! We are not happy with the purple shade, so this will be tweaked for the production batch. Please also note that these are hand assembled samples, so fit and finish is not what it will be on the production models you will receive. Areas like the engine room windows, handrails etc will be vastly improved for the production models. We are also due the headcode numbers and letters after Chinese New Year for signing off and will preview these in a future update. Each locomotive with a headcode or domino panel will get one set factory fitted, with a sheet with alternatives to change to if desired. Do you fancy this Porterbrook purple privatisation era monster? Click here to place your pre-order for DC/DCC ready or DCC sound fitted models. You can secure yours with just a £30 deposit, paying the balance in instalments or when the locomotives arrive into stock. Your choice! 22 1 2 6 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Class 158 productions Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Absolutely fantastic and you say this only a hand assembled one? Unbelievable. Great work 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ac1874 Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 (edited) Stunning is the only word for it, I can't pretend that I know enough to pore over in fine detail.....but it looks like a Deltic to me! I wonder how many Purple Monsters you'll sell in the next couple of days? Edited February 5, 2021 by ac1874 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold MikeParkin65 Posted February 5, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 5, 2021 Very good quality of finish and captures the bulk of the Deltic to a tee. Will you be offering part ex terms against Bachmann versions ? 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-BOAF Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Really fantastic work of art/model engineering. A real achievement for your team to be very proid of. Thanks for becoming part of the hobby and giving such delights to loom forward to. It will be worth the wait! I would say a no brainer for model of the year, but given u have the 37 and 92 to come, it may not... 2 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
60800 Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 (edited) Hi Fran, Looking at the bogies, do the linkages detach from the bogies or the body? How have you approached the headcode panels? Will we have to remove the bodies or is the headcode a printed piece of clear plastic that slots up inside? I recall DJM did the latter on the 71 and it was a very good idea - not owning one though I have no clue how good it works or not.

Cheers, 60800 Hi @60800, It is a pop the body off job, but we have no wires connecting the body to the chassis so no worries there, and the chain on the bogie is attached to the chassis block, not the body. It's a very simple removal. Cheers! Fran 6 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RP82 Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Regarding the alphanumeric headcode. Will the headcode box be empty with some made up for the modeller to fit or will they be already fitted to the loco? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
