I was just wondering the same thing.

 

This depleted Uranium alternative must have limited applications!

Is it only the 55, or will it be the 37 (40) 92 as well?

 

Al.

Its the latest thing instead of a stayalive too,the lights are on in the box when its delivered,the trick is getting them to go out.....

DELTIC PRODUCTION PROGRESS

 

Our Deltics are advancing through production, with moulding complete and painting currently taking place. We have been sent these images over the past couple of weeks, where you can see BR blue complete, with BR green and Porterbrook Purple underway.

There have been further advancements since these images were taken, with green and purple locos receiving their other colours and chassis assembly beginning.

 

After painting is complete the tampo printing process will begin. Then it's onto final assembly, testing and shipping. This leaves is in good stead to deliver in Q1 2022.

Excited? We certainly are! A long road is coming to an end. Don't miss out on an Accurascale Deltic, with several already sold out and others moving fast. Pre-order yours direct right here: https://accurascale.co.uk/collections/class-55-deltic 

 

Cheers!

Only a dozen of each? That’s a very limited edition. One of the purples must be mine.

Hmmm Chinese New Year , year of the Deltic , is 1st Feb . Are you hopeful these will have shipped by then ?  If not I fear q2 is more likely .  Not that it’s an issue , but like others , just can’t wait to get my hands on one .

Hi @Legend,

 

The factory has assured us that these will ship before Chinese New Year.

 

Cheers!

It was a tongue-in-cheek comment, but thanks for the good news!

Let’s hope they don’t get mixed up on a pallet with the Hello Kitty waving cats on the adjacent production line :o

Looks like a cracking system for headcodes! If it’s not too late folks might I suggest including a couple of 1Zxx headcodes for those of us who will be taking their locos off piste? 
 

To continue @ERIC ALLTORQUEs train of thought would of course be the 6.5 special
 

Cheers
