Thanks for the feedback everyone, we’re quite excited about how it is shaping up! 

 

Cheers!

Getting that level of detail on the roof is unsurpassed.

i mean seriously steam locomotives are way less complicated than that.

 

Theres got to be a serious number of pieces there, I was thinking how much I liked my Lima 92’s over the Hornby ones, and the merits of upgrading, but this has to be one of the best modern image  rtr upgrades...

 

until a few hours ago, I thought this was good...

Cheers man, the roof is where the detail is at on the 92 and since we spend most of our time looking down on our models it was critical to get it spot on and go to town on it.

That's not to say we haven't gone to town on the rest of the loco. We have, but what has gone before just hasn't cut it roof wise, so it was essential we do it justice! There is plenty of detail around the bogies and battery boxes etc too.

Of course, we also had to do the new Dellner fitted 92s to go with our Mark 5s, fully modified bufferbeam as per the correct locos of course.

OMG

WOW, cant describe how good they look. Probably the best detail i have seen in a model. !00/10 rating on looks, certainly looks like a load of time is spent into this project :) .

 

*hinting* (Just need a stobart livery confirmed and my pre-order will be straight in ;))

The couplings look great

Now if you could make them functional & then fit them to the coaches:)

John

Now theres a thought, could it be possible to make an NEM fitted dellner, a one piece coupling bar that connects the loco and coaches, with the dellner pieces moulded in the centre, (a bit like how Bachmann / Hornby permanently fasten their EMU/DMU coaches ?).

 

going an odd step further, if the coaches had light fittings, and power through the dellner style coupling they could be controlled by the DCC chip on the loco ?

 

ok i’ll stop my creativity there before I get in trouble.

It’s very difficult to do but we may have a cunning plan. I can say no more at the moment....

Can your model be blocked from production by DJ Models as has been suggested?

 

Who the hell suggested that???...apologies I'm not aware of this development and hopefully you're joking :jester:

I do not think it is an announcement, more of a delusional rant. DJM might have a case against some using his CADs but none whatsoever with anyone who creates their own. If his argument had merit Hornby would be able to stop him producing a class 92 model as they already did one.

Of course all design work on the 92 in the Accurascale office will have stopped after DJs anouncement. . . Have you ever tried controlling a computer mouse while P@$&%¥@G Yourself laughing ?

Hi everyone,

 

This is absolutely correct. We have done our own CAD from scratch for the Class 92, and see no legal precedents that can stop us doing a model of this (or indeed any other) locomotive or item of rolling stock. Legal precedents would show quite the opposite.

 

Anyway, it’s in tooling so can’t be stopped now. Our 92 won’t be affected by this. 

 

Obviously we will not look to comment further on the matters of another manufacturer, other than to reassure everyone that our 92 will be a reality in the next 12 months and is going to be the best model of this locomotive in 4mm, of that we are confident.

 

Cheers,

 

Fran

After tonight, I have a sneaky feeling a few more orders will be coming your way over the next day or two!

Hi there,

 

I can confirm we have received a nice few orders for our Class 92 this evening, which is great to see. We’ve put a lot into her, so we’re delighted that it’s being so well received.

 

Cheers!
