There is still plenty of tweaks required, but we’re delighted with how it’s going. Once these tweaks are made it will be making its way east for tooling in the coming weeks! Find out more on stand B49! We’re going to be quite busy over the weekend at the show but we will do our best to answer questions when we can! Cheers! Fran Please add these images to the original post also, will be easier to find in future for anyone who wants to see CAD images (just a thought). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A question if I may - I am curious as to whether you might have considered brass/metal turned horns for the cab roofs, especially as the horns are such a prominent feature of the Class 92? And also as we have been used to plastic moulded horns for so long now, which in my opinion often leave a lot to be desired in terms of fidelity and realism and often the one detail on the front of any model that scream 'toy'. Turned metal horns would be such a nice feature if they could be incorporated, especially as this is going to be such a 'high-spec' model in many other respects? cheers Al Edited February 22, 2019 by YesTor 1 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
YesTor Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 (edited) I realize it may well be early days for signing-off livery drawings etc, but I think there might be a glitch on your proposed artwork for 92020. Although correct for 92032, the spaced number format shown on the art for 92020 appears to be incorrect, as I believe the format should be 92020, as opposed to 92 020. Also, to my eye the positioning of both the GBRf logo and numbering should be more vertically central. And lastly, the yellow warning panel is more 'squared-off' in appearance as opposed to the 'curvy'-edged style as adopted by other operators: cheers Al Edited February 23, 2019 by YesTor 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Accurascale Fran Posted February 22, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 22, 2019 Hi Al, Livery graphics are only ‘artist impressions’ For illustration purposes, they won’t be used for final decoration, as they’re currently missing a lot of details, such as warning labels etc. it will be correct on the final models. cheers!

CADs looking superb, 2020 will be well worth waiting for! Cheers, James 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMS_LNER_SR_GWR_fan2004 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Hi accurasale, I have a quick question, depending on how well the 92 sells (which I think it will do) could we possibly see a separate Brecknell Willis HS pantograph as a pack as it would fill the void of pantograph’s and would allow us modellers to get hold of one, just a suggestion though best regards, Matthew 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is something we are certainly looking into, and if it’s practical from the factory POV we can do it. Watch this space! We had some great feedback about the 92 over the weekend at Model Rail Scotland. One question that came up a couple of times was if the Accurascale 92 is a crowdfunding project? I can confirm it is not, and it will be made and funded by Accurascale. The deposit system is merely an indication of commitment so we can plan how many to make of each variant. Hope this helps with any assurances. Cheers! Fran 7 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said before, this is going to be a stunner (perhaps a little room for a 91 as well?) best regards, Matthew 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
159220 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Is the pantograph overscale in the CAD because you have the springs/rods internally? Or just a very early CAD? Rest looks awesome! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's "placeholder CAD" as there's scale engineering to sort out and a fair bit of complexity to get it operationally correct, have the required visual fidelity and operational robustness.

MGR Hooper! Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 If the finished product (pantograph) looks similar to what's in the CAD, I really hope Accurascale think about selling these as spares, if DCC controlled then on a base with the servos mounted already. That way anyone with an older model can simply cut out a whole in the roof to size and then drop in the DCC controlled one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way anyone with an older model can simply cut out a whole in the roof to size and then drop in the DCC controlled one. That poses slightly different issues, practically sounds ok, but painting the roof section to match the rest of the roof, or just aligning it to fill the cracks could risk damaging the pantograph. i’d prefer a two part myself, inside body piece, which I put a small hole in the roof, and the pantograph to mount on the roof, even if the fittings clipped together through the roof, using the insulators as mountings ? 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSpencer Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 It could be a 2 sets of kit. One just as a pantogragh. Non DCC users will be happy to have just that alone. The other as the servo mech etc for DCC users (which could be used on other applications like signals). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Accurascale Fran Posted February 26, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 26, 2019 Hi everyone, The provison of the pan as a spare part and how it is provided is down to how practical it can be done by the factory. Let’s wait and see what can be done. Our primary priority is to have them looking and functioning superbly on our dyson, anything after that is a bonus. Cheers!

cs233 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Gap between the body the bogies? Looks a little large compared to prototype images.
