I think it's safe to say that those of us with MK5 orders are in for a treat. Thank you. Kind Regards, Danny. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A first look at our TPE Mark 5 Coaches After previewing the tooling samples of our Caledonian Sleeper Mark 5 coaches earlier this week, it is now time to show the TPE variants. Of course, some fettling is required, but overall they are shaping up very nicely indeed. Click here for all the information you need on these beauties, more photos and place your pre-order direct with us! https://accurascale.co.uk/blogs/news/s-express-a-first-look-at-the-tpe-mark-5a (Oh, and we are aware the buffers on the DT are the wrong way round, this will be rectified for production!) Cheers, Fran Those look utterly superb. Looking forward to seeing the EP for the Revolution N Gauge versions even more now! Tom. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold TravisM Posted January 21, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 21, 2021 I’m going to order a TPE set once I’ve paid off my Class 37 next month. They don’t fit my East Midlands Trains Heckington layout but do I care, nah . 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the wand supports 2 functions: head or tail lights interior lighting on or off 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to agree, I really love these but I really think they might look a bit odd running around a smallish roundy roundy based on GWR in the late 60’s early 70”s........hmmmm...nah......I’ve already allowed aN AS Deltic to be coming on the irons, one of these might be just that bit too far Edited January 21, 2021 by boxbrownie 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just 4 words like that will create several pages of excited discussion... i’ll have to start.. 64’ mk1 suburbans were very standard British Railways stock.. in DMUs, EMUs as well as standalone... Wolverton made great use of them, but manufacturers so far have not. I used to love Wolverton units as a kid, still got pieces of them in my loft. Best behave now. lie down down and think of CAF... I noticed Hattons have sold out of TPE 68’s already, I wonder why ? Edited May 16, 2021 by adb968008 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fredo Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Hi, will you be adding the option of a small regular coupling to these so modellers can attach then to a Dapol Trans Pennine Class 68. Thanks Fred Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Fred All of the couplings sit in standard NEM sockets so you can change to any option you prefer and regular tension locks will be provided to couple up to your locos. There is even a swappable nem socket for the DT for drags Edited January 21, 2021 by McC 1 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steadfast Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Hi Chaps! The Mk5A stock is looking excellent, clever how you've done the bogies too! One thing that has jumped out at me are brass wire fittings on the end of the carriage that couples to the loco. I don't know the stock very well (wrong part of the country!) but all the pictures I've seen of the blank end of this vehicle show the multiple working cables come from the upper mount of the brass wires but going a towards dummy sockets near the coach edge, rather than towards the centre. There also appear to be silver hand rails on some of the sets? Hope this helps rather than confuses matters! Jo 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
