JhornG201 Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Some 1SXX head codes would be nice too. Some more variety that can be cut and stitched together would be good Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

virginhst539 Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Will the rails of Sheffield's D9009 come with a sheet of head codes for the various rail tours it has headed? hopefully 1E01 and 1S42 feature as seen on the 52A railtours kings cross runs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-BOAF Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 2 hours ago, Accurascale Fran said: Hi everyone, Factory - "How many headcode combinations do you want for your new Deltic locomotives?" Accurascale - "Yes." As you can see, we have gone for many, many combinations. Below is sheet one of two sheets(!) that will be included in each box of alpha-numeric headcode and domino fitted Deltics. The sheet shown is the 1960s series, with the second sheet (not shown) featuring the 1970s combinations, including dominos. This is a pre-production sheet and minor alterations will be made where necessary for the final finished models. Each headcode fitted Deltic will come with a default set pre-installed, with these sheets giving you the opportunity to personalise on the routes you wish to model them on. Pre-ordered yet? Production is progressing swiftly, with delivery in Q1 2022 getting ever closer! https://accurascale.co.uk/collections/class-55-deltic Cheers! Fran This looks amazing. 1. Any chance of a set/row of domino blinds for a non-headcode option? 2. while the offset/lazily rolled numbers are great, it would be nice if a couple for each code could be 'perfectly' rolled, leaving the other four copies askew. If this isn't too much faffing around with the artwork.... 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium PJ10 Posted December 13, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 13, 2021 (edited) I've just read and agreed with fundamental shape issues with another manufacture's locomotive. Jumping to this thread and the comments are about printed head codes. You're obviously doing something right Accurascale if thats the main topic of conversation.

Not sure why people are laughing - it was the 8 times daily Express Milk. A very important train hence the Deltic haulage. If it didn't run, you could hear the end customers screaming from miles away. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough I almost bought my Son “BO08 DOC” who was just qualified as a Doctor, but I didn’t think his wife would approve, and he doesn’t do plastics. Although now over ten years later I notice it’s no longer registered……I wonder if it got pulled at some time upon transfer as being seen as sexist/insulting or just plain rude, no sense of humour DVLC. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some more variety that can be cut and stitched together would be good I imagine that'll be on the 70s sheet. 1Sxx was only used for York/Leeds/Newcastle to Edinburgh for most of the 1960s. The KX -EW trains were 1Axx, only changing to 1Sxx from 5 May 1969.
