I think the colour is an improvement on the last sample

 

Yes, by the time small yellow ends an E4000 series number and cycling lion are all applied it will look the part.

[Hippel]

It's clearly an SNCFFret CC92000 just waiting the final livery touches.

A green loco near to St Patrick's day!  Might be interesting photo shopped into IE orange.

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.

 

 

92036, has been in the exact livery A/S have done it in for about 12 years. The EWS sticker was applied and the BR Arrows are still in place to this day. I'm not sure if your trying to say A/S have got the livery wrong or not but I think it's spot on. If this information helps mean you have chosen the right loco then I'm also glad I could help.

Not trying to say A/S got it wrong, but I wrongly believed that EWS had removed the arrows much earlier, so I thought the livery was for a more limited timeframe.  In fact, as you say, the loco is still carrying the arrows, at least from photos in 2020, so thanks for the info.

There’s a link to a photo taken a week ago here; 

I believe most of the EWS/DB ones still have the arrows. Unless they are in Red/Stobart. Which is when they lost the arrows.

 

Which actually makes me think I am surprised that there isn’t a 92017 in Stobart livery released as a limited edition or a Rails version etc.

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!

 

Fran

It looks great, but aren't the 'polo' logos significantly too low?

Edit: should have read the whole blog first! As you were...

As outlined in the update, this is the EWS locos, which had the polo logos repositioned. 

 

Cheers!

Thanks, Fran. You were too quick to spot my obvious mistake! Apologies.

The was a batch sent to Romania where I photographed 472005 (92005) in 2017 - but I believe they may have moved to Serbia?

It still has the Crewe Depot Plates, the Chunnel Circles and the BR Double Arrows on the Cabside

Damn it - reading this thread made me go and purchase 92036 to compliment 92006!

Curse you RM Web!!!

More of a contrast rather than a compliment maybe @Mooresby

 

With 92036 being DB former EWS or current EWS depending on your era and 92006 is a GBRf Dyson in Cally Sleeper :-)

 

Each to their own of course

 

I actually quite like 92036 and think that would be a really good fit at Johnson Street,

Good point - but bearing in mind that my layout is based around Reading and I doubt that a 92 has ever been anywhere near the GWR mainline I was already sailing pretty close to the wind in terms of realism anyway!  Ah well - they look great so what the heck

Hey, Reading's is under the knitting now, so, its just a matter of time, really, isnt it ?

I hate to be that person, but...

 

 

I can't believe this was nearly a decade ago. I can remember being surprised by the video at the time.

If you mean modern day GWR mainline... search YouTube for 'Class 92 Didcot'!  6X44 in 2011 included a DB red 92.  The video says there may have been up to 3 visits by a 92 at Didcot in 20 years!  So, you can 'justify' a purchase

Hi Fran,

 

Dunno if this has been asked yet - will the 92 work with a standard 21pin DCC decoder or will it require a bespoke type as per the Bachmann 90?

It is designed for a regular decoder with sufficient functions, we recommend the ESU LokPilot V5

[Sir TophamHatt]

Completely not my thing but I am thinking of getting one to support you guys.

Really impressed with you as a company.

Don't worry, I have other locos that aren't my thing either!

I presume the pantographs require servo functionality on the decoder though? If a non servo decoder is put into the loco what happens?

 

I.e. Bachmann say if you don't put a correctly configured decoder in theirs it could break the pantograph, they have their Zimo one they sell pre configured but a LP5 or LS5 work fine assuming they are programmed correctly.
