classy52 Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 (edited) Hi Oliver, Will there be factory fitted DCC Sound options for these or will they be DCC Ready only? Cheers Steve Edited November 24, 2018 by classy52 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

locoholic Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 How will it be possible to put a nameplate on D9008 when the BR emblem will be in the way? And after naming, small BR emblems were applied at the cab ends, weren't they? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And after naming, small BR emblems were applied at the cab ends, weren't they? Yes, that does seem rather curious - if you wanted a named D9008, a better starting point would be another green namer surely? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Ian Hargrave Posted November 24, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 24, 2018 WHY? Would you kindly explain the question ? Maybe then Oliver could give you an answer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium boxbrownie Posted November 24, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 24, 2018 No option to order the sound fitted versions...... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium boxbrownie Posted November 24, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 24, 2018 Will there be DCC Sound options for these or will they be DCC Ready only? In another official announcement there will be sound fitted versions available. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
classy52 Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 (edited) In another official announcement there will be sound fitted versions available. Yes correct but are not specified for these preserved models and atm you can only pre-order DCC Ready hence why I was asking the question. Edit: Apologies but are you saying there will be another official announcement to say these preserved models will have a sound fitted option?

RMweb Premium boxbrownie Posted November 24, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 24, 2018 (edited) I meant there was another announcement about these and sound fitted versions, I want to order Nimbus with sound but nothing as yet.

RMweb Gold SHMD Posted November 24, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 24, 2018 Maybe Kev won the St Leger or the Derby? I wouldn't "back" me in a drinking competition - and that's my best subject! Tulyar. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
classy52 Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 I meant there was another announcement about these and sound fitted versions, I want to order Nimbus with sound but nothing as yet. Yes there are but I was specifically referring to these preserved models where on the Rails website they only have DCC Ready to pre-order but no sound versions.

OOgaugeJaf Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Would you kindly explain the question ? Maybe then Oliver could give you an answer.i think it is why is the NRM partnering with a model railway shop? They have produced many great models in the past to be fair so do not need rails.

66738 Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Tulyar was ordered within minutes of the announcement, but only in DCC ready. Would very much like their sound project and hopefully some sort of agreement can be reached by Rails to supply sound either fitted or as separate for us to fit. 66738 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Wellyboots Posted November 26, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 26, 2018 WHY? Why not? It's not as if they are going to be displeased, sorry, unhappy, or ashamed to reveal their Deltics. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forester Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Why not? It's not as if they are going to be displeased, sorry, unhappy, or ashamed to reveal their Deltics. Why do we need another one? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
'CHARD Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Why do we need another one? Why do we need the football league, hair straighteners or even model railways at all? Because there's clearly demand, and sad as it may seem, in a free market economy, Accurascale is perfectly entitled to bring them to market, and myself along with many others are entitled to part with our hard-earned cash as we choose. Or maybe we should campaign to have them reintroduce the Hornby Dublo Deltic instead.... 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
