Apologies if this has already been asked somewhere in the last 82 pages, but is it going to be possible to change the headcode displays on these models? As I'm a modern era modeller I'd quite like to have Dominoes on either end of mine but may want to swap them out for a railtour headcode. As said apologies if this has been asked & answered already, very much looking forward to the release of these monsters & keep up the fine work Accurascale. Hi @vanbasher, Many thanks for the order. Yes, for any Deltic with a headcode box that is not plated over it will be possible to change the headcodes with a decal sheet provided in the box. Cheers!

Rapid response too, many thanks indeed for your reply Fran, now I'm really looking forward to this. Will the process of changing the headcodes be relatively straight forward with these? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are looking at about 100mA max on the function outputs today. I dunno Roy This was state play with one of my 37's back in 2018. 12 volt coreless motor for a couple of quid off ebay, About 15mA starting current and 3 mA run. I should finish it really, but I've come up with some different drive methods in the intervening years that I want to try out. P 5 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Popular Post Accurascale Fran Posted April 12, 2021 RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted April 12, 2021 (edited) Hi everyone, With Deltic production now underway (and yes, still due in Q3 as per the last update!) we thought we would give you an update on the sales leader board. We done this last week with our Irish metrovick locos (which you may have seen) and it has proved a popular and handy guide to help modellers plan out their purchases. As you can see, four of the locos are completely sold out. As the purchase order has been placed with the factory we cannot increase the run. So, while others have plenty of stock still in some cases, it is only a finite amount left. Also, the ratio of DCC sound to DC/DCC ready is also fixed. Hopefully this proves to be a useful tool for anyone looking to order a Deltic and being slightly blinded by the sheer choice on hand!

Can you give any more details of how you've got the motor mounted and connected to the fan? I tried something similar on a Bachmann Class 20 a while ago, but I found the noise of the motor was excessive and it wouldn't run at a low enough RPM to reduce it. Your setup looks visually very good and also quiet enough not to interfere with the sound decoder.

The Ghost of IKB Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Regarding sales, interesting that sound fitted are selling better than dcc ready. Is this unique to the deltic i wonder or a common trend across all models/manufacturers? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this unique to the deltic i wonder or a common trend across all models/manufacturers? Hi @The Ghost of IKB, Not quite. It could be that a smaller percentage of sound fitted models were ordered, and more of that allocation has been sold. However, orders for sound fitted have been strong! Cheers!

RMweb Premium Ian J. Posted April 12, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 12, 2021 I''ve just checked, and 55 005 and 55 011 are plated, 55 001 is domino, the rest are headcode (of those that are of that era). Unfortunately this was something I missed when placing my order for 55 017, so it looks like I'll have to alter the order for a second time (from 55 017 to 55 011) as I'd prefer a plated over version. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
