Might finally order one when they all finally all get revealed. I did the same, if that is a genuine livery sample photo it is going to be an incredible model. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
60800 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Regretting not ordering Gordon now - I saw her once in purple at Doncaster Works during the open day in 2003. I was 7 and despite forgetting most of the non-steam stuff that was there I remember the sight of that thing clear as day! FYI the only others I clearly remember are Alycidon and the 89 - now that was a treat in GNER! Cheers, 60800 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-BOAF Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Absolute stunning The chains linking the bogie to the body are fantastic and come as a real surprise (I don't believe they were there on the previous EPs) Wow Wow Wow. Gordon does look good. If I had endless funds I'd order one.... So, do I stick with my sound KOYLI, or downgrade to non-sound and get Gordon? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted February 4, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 4, 2021 (edited) Don't look at it...., its half way down the page. https://accurascale.co.uk is the model missing a hatch just above the “ook” of porterbrook though ? Looking at other photos it doesnt have it ? Is it on one end or was it added later ? Edited February 4, 2021 by adb968008 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-BOAF Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 (edited) Looked again at the teaser picture. The fire handle is printed, and noticably so (although unfair closeup). I guess its a tiny and shallow detail, but noticably printed against the finesse of everything else.... It sounds churlish to criticise it I know... Shame it couldn't have been a plug in glazed/painted part. I don't know why I didn't notice its absence on the prevoius EPs. Is there any way that the white could be made a little grey/bluey-off white to reprasent it sitting behind glass?

RMweb Gold Markwj Posted February 4, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 4, 2021 I ordered Gordon but am worried when I see the pics I may order a blue one (I really must learn self control)! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-BOAF Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 (edited) Hmm why is it only with a fully painted sample that certain things become noticable??? The bodyside window glazing seems fractionally too small in the bodyside holes - there are definate black gaps visible between the silver of the window frame and the bodyside... Arrg.

The surround is moulded so there is definition, but it's so shallow the handle itself couldnt have depth or glazed. We are assessing all the artwork at the moment and will feed back to the factory.

This is good to hear (on the surround front - it wasn't noticable on the picture, but glad there is some relief on it). As I said, hard to gauge from photo. The whole thing is so stunning though! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This fit and finish will be improved on the production models. Please note that the gap is tiny in reality, something we are improving and that these are hand assembled samples hastily put together.

Fran Glad to hear, just thought I'd flag (other manufacturers are not so attentive!). I'm aware that such zoomed photos can be cruel! No doubt the finished product will be well polshed (metaphorically!) Fran and Team, this is just stellar! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 I have no need for a Deltic whatsoever, wrong era, wrong location - but that does look good, I think I’m going to have to get one anyway!! If you can follow that up with an 08, a 20, a 31, a 47, a 56... oh and a decent HST would be nice too! Don’t mind what order you do them! Lol. ;-) 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 The Porterbrook Deltic does stand out, but for me, for all the wrong reasons ... Like seeing a Barbie-pink Fiat 500 - then hunting the nearest bucket for hygiene!! Al. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
