RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted February 8, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 8, 2021 (edited) I’m so glad I ordered Ballymoss... Indeed I ordered it before they announced it, I put my card on the counter before Fran lifted the cloth to reveal it !!! i’m now ordering Tulyar from Rails to go with it... I can see this is going to hurt.. ive not yet seen 55002 or the blue plated headcode box plain blue yet... Its excruciating seeing these EPs come out its like watching England vs Argentina in the world cup 2002... you know its winner, but youve got 90 minutes to wait, it justs gets better and better god help me when paint 37 EPs come.

Reason is simple, I believe mentioned previously, but DP1 would have been nice ... DP1's differences from the production Deltics go quite a bit deeper than the nose - she's shorter for one, and so are her bogies. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

virginhst539 Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 absolutely superb. The thought of trying to bring my model of 22 to how it was when operating in Scotland on EMU drags has suddenly become absolutely terrifying after seeing the beautiful decorated sample! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
w124bob Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 I have just come across a picture of 9009 dated November 1973, with a domino headcode panel. The picture appears in Bradford Barton "Diesels in Action vol2" , this is the earliest use of domino dots I've seen and at a time when headcodes were still in use. There's no mistake as the book was published in 1975. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Producing 22 in it's final service state is right for the first batch as we have no clue how LSL are going to outshop her - equally with Tulyar the DPS have stated that she is not returning to service in Two-Tone Green so unless the Rails / DPS exclusive model of her is anything to by I think for the time being we are better off with only 2 and 9 being done 'as preserved' so far. In the same vein 19 is due to return to the mainline in Two-Tone Green if the chatter is to be believed. As soon as it's known how 15, 19 and 22 are to be when they return it would be great to have those preserved models added to the Accurascale stable Cheers, 60800 Manufacturers have to draw "a line in the sand" when it comes to particular liveries. Especially if the model in question is still extant and may end up with a different paint scheme/detail in the near future. One of the perils of modelling current day. Hey ho. At least I can justify D9009 on my present-ish (2015 onwards) day layout in front of yellow stuff. Pic from flickr 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sure is @60800, we should be able to do something about it! 11 hours ago, Willoughby Glen said: Got to agree with the comments. For me looking like the model of the year is sown up, especially if the sound and running match the outward look. Fran, sorry if this has been asked already but will locos be fully tested before shipping? Hi @Willoughby Glen, the factory will test each loco before they are sent to us and then we will do our own method of spot checking too. If anyone has any issues with their Deltic all they have to do is contact us or via their retailer they bought it off (in the case of the Rails/DPS/Locomotion special editions) and warranty repair or replacement will be organised. 29 minutes ago, Legend said: You going to get the green ones soon Fran ?

RMweb Gold Popular Post Accurascale Fran Posted February 9, 2021 RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted February 9, 2021 Lean, Green, Flying Machines! Hi everyone, No more teasing, here is the last of our decorated samples in lovely BR green. I dont have all the exhaust panel variations in a photo @G-BOAF, there are a couple on display here, along with various fan grille set ups. I think these turned out very well personally.... We have body shells covering all the major Green variations we are covering, from as delivered to full yellow ends. Enjoy! Cheers!

atom3624 Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 (edited) Another superb effort. There's almost a 'metallic sheen' to both your blue and green paintwork. One thing - could you straighten the buffers before you take the next photos please? !! Where are the horns? Al.

philiprporter Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Hi Fran I'm not sure if its there on the prototype as light always seems to fall in this area on photos, but is the seam line above the nose side grilles (and it looks like it may continue across the front of the nose in a slight curve in a couple of the photos?) there on the real thing or is it a snagging list issue?
