Hi there, This is still being worked on by ESU. As you can imagine it is very complex so takes a lot of work and testing to perfect. As with all our projects once we have news and updates we will share it here ASAP. Cheers! Fran 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter749 Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 This is a loco I like in real life and I might have to get one as it will fit on my Southern Region based layout The cost seems comparable with other locos so I might treat myself I'm slightly worried on how it might run. I was interested in the DJ Models Class 71 when announced and I had one on pre-order from a modelshop but the reviews changed my mind Peter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no experience of that model but know that ours has a high quality 5 pole skew wound motor with large twin flywheels. There are videos on here and YouTube of our pre-production locos running and of course you can always wait for them to come out and see how they run before purchasing as we will have stock of them when they land. Hope that helps! Fran 3 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was interested in the DJ Models Class 71 when announced and I had one on pre-order from a modelshop but the reviews changed my mind Peter These may be model trains, but believe me, you're comparing apples and oranges.... Like others have said, quite unsure as to why you'd pre-judge one manufacturers models based on another manufacturer who had quite a disappointing history in terms of his model's running capabilities. You also seem to have answered your own question, if you pre-ordered a DJM Class 71 and then changed your mind based on reviews (which leads me to assume that you cancelled the pre-order before it was delivered), then why not do the same here? Accurascale are doing special commissions for retailers like Rails of Sheffield, so you'll always have some in stock. You can just wait till release day, get some feedback and make an informed decision then? Or pre-order and if you don't like it, send it back. This video should answer your question on it's running capabilities Edited September 7, 2020 by MGR Hooper! 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Hayley, As stated in our Class 37 and Mark 5 update we will have a full update on the Class 92 as well as Deltic, KUA and JSA etc in the the next couple of weeks, so keep an eye out for it!

I doubt you'll need to keep your ears peeled... I suspect the Detlic will be loud enough to be measured seismically 2 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope that helps! Fran Yes it does. I will either pre-oder from Rails or wait until the release - still got some expenditure on the layout I'm building.

Johnson Street IEMD Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 (edited) Thank you for the latest update on the Class 92 Fran. It's going to quite something for us electric modellers out there to have such a fine model and certainly appears to be in keeping with the likes of the Bachmann class 90.

I’d say incorporating a pan without any extra arms which is servo-operated, as well as actually giving thought to how the sound will fit/sound it’s best already puts it miles ahead - IMHO. I'm very much looking forward to the 92 and (as has been said many times) would rather take a minor knock to the delivery schedule than any compromise on detail/accuracy/livery. I’m also very glad I’ve opted for a sound-fitted version what with ESU having looked at the pantograph and Legomanbiffo mentioned for the sound. Thanks, Jack. 1 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
