Johnson Street IEMD Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 If I am not mistaken, it would seem like DB in Bulgaria do a better job of branding their 92s than DB UK. The UK ones (like these) are still branded as EWS only Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

St. Simon Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 On 19/11/2020 at 17:58, St. Simon said: Yes, there’s a few lines between London and the tunnel which they are allowed on, but they are banned from all other 3rd rails. I’ll try and get the restrictions from the Sectional Appendix tomorrow for those that might be interested. Simon Hi, Finally remembered to get the Sectional Appendix out and this is what is says for Class 92's on the Southern Region: Quote Operation on the DC power supply Permitted only between Boundary with Eurotunnel, Saltwood Junction and Mitre Bridge Junction via:- Tonbridge, Orpington, Shortlands Junction and Herne Hill or Catford Loop and then via Factory Junction, Longhedge Junction and Latchmere Junction. and Maidstone East, Swanley, Shortlands Junction and Herne Hill or Catford Loop and then via Factory Junctionn, Longhedge Junction and Latchmere Junction. Also permitted between Sevenoaks and Otford Jn via Bat & Ball and Longhedge Jn, Ludgate Jn into Clapham Jn sidings 48 & 49. It also says that there must be no more than 3 Class 92s drawing power from a single substation at anyone time. Not that this matters as I've decided to get one anyway Simon 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you place any order for Class 92s between now and the cut off date you will get the earlier price. We had envisaged that we would have decorated samples before the cut off date of 19th March, but that does not look like it will happen now (more likely April) so we will likely extend the cut off date to after the decorated samples land so you can see them in all their glory before ordering. But for now, keep the original date in your head. Cheers! Fran 8 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Accurascale Fran Posted March 19, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 19, 2021 Hi everyone, We've received the latest sample of our very special Class 92 locomotive from the factory, sporting the tooling amendments we made to the first samples, including the addition of brass horns, improved pan head, better fitting glazing and more. We have also extended the price increase deadline to come into force after we reveal decorated samples in late May. To find out all the latest information on our Dysons including delivery date and price increase deadline, check out our latest blog update here: https://accurascale.co.uk/blogs/news/class-92-update-price-increase-deadline-extended Cheers!

rembrow Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 I've been dithering about the livery I wanted, and with this offer I've plunged in and ordered Bertolt Brecht. There was one concern, the livery schematic shows it with EWS vinyls and BR arrows on the leading cab. This loco is still in Railfreight grey to this day and I would have expected EWS to remove the arrows fairly soon after privatisation, however have found a photo of the loco at Crewe, in mid 2007, with the arrows still fitted, so for my era, privatisation plus 5 years, it is fine. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
