I've placed an order for two without sound, just DCC Ready. Would it be possible to opt for sound in these at a later time if I wanted to? Thanks.

 

It sure would! Just email us with the order number and we can do the rest!

 

Cheers

Those pantos look tasty. Doesn't give the game away on how it actually works but aesthetically great.

and hopefully then it will be made available as a spares item too...…..

 

I'd really like to see this as a spare as well.  It would be great to add to some other models I already have.  Fran, could you do it as servo spare and a non-servo spare?  There's loads of us out here who would buy them!

im going to take a guess on how the pan works - theyve taken the usual external extra lower wire that pushes the pan uplike we have on the Class 85 Class 86 etc and hidden it inside the square looking lower arm (granted a very thin piece of hard wire) which emerges at its highest/rearmost point and connects to the bottom of the upper arm at a fulcrum point.

I think this will also allow for both upper and lower arms to be extended in height to equal levels as opposed to some pans you see where the lower arm sits low and the upper arm is way up in the air or vice versa.   Accura might have cracked the until now problematic authentic pantograph here........

 

open to other conjecture...………….

I have been intensively researching the class 92 (thank you to Fat Controller, Timbon and contacts in GBRf/DBC), and now have a definitive 'active' class 92 as well as where are Accurascale models 'now': 

 

The Prototypes

 

DB Cargo UK (6) -

92011 - EWS triple grey

92015 - DB Cargo red with London - Yiwu, China train branding

92019 - EWS triple grey

92036 - EWS triple grey

92041 - EWS triple grey

92042 - DB Schenker red

 

GBRf (12 by May TTC) -

GBSL Pool with CAF mods (CS/UK only flows)

92006 - CS teal (now active)

92014 - CS teal

92020 - GBRf blue (revised)

92023 - CS teal

92033 - CS teal

 

GBST Pool with TVM430 and CAF mods (CS/UK/CT flows)

92010 - CS teal

92018 - CS teal

92028 - GBRf blue

92038 - CS teal

92043 - GBRf blue

 

GBST Sub-pool with TVM430 (UK/CT flows)

92032 - GBRf blue (to become revised) (at Brush for modifications/major exam)

92044 - Railfreight triple grey (due modifications/major exam 2020)

 

For those who like to model todays railway. 92032 is now at (Wabtec) GE Brush Traction for a major exam. 032 shall be upgraded to the same standard as the rest of the GB Railfreight fleet yet currently there are no plans to install the CAF Mk5 equipment and Dellner coupling. Should be outshopped early in the new year, in GBRF revised livery as per 020. 

 

I also understand DB Cargo UK 92029 in store at Crewe is undergoing a major exam to restore to traffic and not to send aboard. It 'should' go via Toton to be outshopped in DB red (but 92011 'might' make it to the paintshop first!). So I think I shall hold off the Rails 92015 limited edition for a 'pure' DB red 92. Oddly, I find the DB livery rather satisfying.
