The factory used the wrong shade on 020 for some inexplicable reason (032 is correct as you will see soon!) and it will be fixed on the production models! Cheers!

RMweb Gold Popular Post Accurascale Fran Posted August 20, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted August 20, 2021 Hi everyone, We are still finalising some last details with the factory so will now provide the full Class 92 update next week. In the meantime, here is a sneak peek at one of the decorated samples, and where better to start than the class doyen; 92001! Please note that these are pre-production samples so fit and finish will not be as good as the finished models, but it certainly give yous a flavour of what's coming. Tweaks are required of course, and these will be outlined in the update next week, along with a look at some of the other decorated samples. In the meantime, if you fancy 92001 (£159.99 DCC ready, 259.99 DCC sound fitted) place your pre-order here: https://accurascale.co.uk/collections/british-rail-class-92/products/92001-victor-hugo Cheers!

Csalem Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Looks good. Feels like there is real "weight" to it (which I am sure there is). 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold MikeParkin65 Posted August 20, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 20, 2021 I'm not in the market for one of these (but have my orders in for green Deltic and 37 so you can see why this is out of context for me!) so please feel free to ignore but my one criticism is that the cab glazing, especially on the sides is a little thick and therefore prismatic. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The actual windscreens are tinted, so while indicative, the glazing on these decorated samples is just an indication, and will be correctly tinted and finessed for the final models. Hope that helps! 1 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

YesTor Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 (edited) These look fantastic - roof, underframe, bogie detail - absolutely stunning! I'd agree with the above comment re cab side glazing. Also, not to pick fault - instead merely an observation, whilst appreciating these are approval samples - but the 'Victor Hugo' and 92001 text/numbers appear not-quite-horizontal on both sides. Also, and sincere apologies for asking what must have been covered some-place already, but if purchased DCC ready, is there/will there be an option for purchasing the sound-chip later on? edit: Actually I can see that this is the Legomanbifo project. So a related question, does the DC model come with a speaker pre-fitted? I'm guessing perhaps not? Lastly (for now), will the brass horns and rectangular buffers be available as separate items - I don't believe anyone offers rectangular buffers as a separate item anywhere, so could be useful...? Look forward to seeing these in the flesh. It's at times such as this I really miss the exhibitions... thanks Al Edited August 21, 2021 by YesTor Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium amwells Posted August 21, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 21, 2021 These look amazing. I know you’ve said that fit and finish will be improved, so please take this in the spirit intended - the two things that stick out on first look are that the front cab handrail looks somewhat chunky, and the Chunnel polos don’t look etched like the real things, and being part of the body, will be difficult to replace with etched versions.

RMweb Gold McC Posted August 21, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 21, 2021 (edited) For the sake of clarity the sound chip / project will not be for sale outside a loco and the ready version is missing the twin speakers (but includes the stay alive) The tunnel mints will be etches in the finished models.

MRDBLUE17 Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Cheers for the update Fran. Well I gave in yesterday and ordered a 3rd class 92 in Cale Sleeper livery. I think the Lowlander Edinburgh portion of the MK5’s will follow. Thanks Mark 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted August 21, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 21, 2021 (edited) This is looking really good… any chance a close up of that roof detail…? The roof of a 92 is an intricate organised mess, and something no previous model has done nicely, I saw the CAD I recall ages ago and it looked superb, be nice to see it in the flesh.

Johnson Street IEMD Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 I will definitely be having one - probably Team Red's YIWU Dyson and its certainly looking great - well done @Accurascale Fran and there will definitely be one or two at Johnson Street IEMD, rubbing shoulders with Jack, Bill, Malcolm and co.

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted August 22, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 22, 2021 (edited) 'Tunnel mints' In 'the trade' when these locos were being built and tested folk called them 'Morris 8 hubcaps'. There was a good reason for that although the Morris 8 hubcap didn't have a hole in the centre - but the overal shape and style of some versions ... ...

IMEO its more on par with the current pace setter in the market place, that of Bachmann's Class 90 ... but to be there, is good stuff indeed ... and certainly puts this a long way above the Hornby Class 87 and also the Heljan Class 86. lets hope it doesn't have any of the teething issues of the Bachmann Class 90 Kat@johnsonstreetIEMD Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
