MRDBLUE17 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Hi Fran, Nice to see the progress, those BS blue ones do look very good but I’m pleased I ordered the grey/orange ones to create the workings from Shap up to Scotland.

mevaman1 Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 (edited) For some reason I thought I could only run the Mendip stone PTAs in same liveried rakes. However, I have just watched some video taken at Kensington Olympia in October 1994 of mixed Yeoman/ARC rakes. Time to for me to order some more methinks!

Steadfast Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Once the Mendip joint venture was set up, mixed ARC and Yeoman sets were common, as were complete sets operating into the "wrong" quarry or with a "wrong" liveried 59 Jo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a great selection of trains at this time and now with PTAs, BBAs, PFAs etc. all becoming available to a high standard it is getting more tempting. Hopefully in future Accurascale will do some appropriate 37s too. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Accurascale Fran Posted September 25, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted September 25, 2020 Hi everyone, Great news! Our British Steel, VTG and Yeoman PTA/JTA/JUAs are now on the high seas and on their way to the UK! They will be in stock and ready for dispatch in 4 weeks time! We were going to do an unboxing video, but felt it's best left to unboxing experts instead. We think they'll like our packaging though! No so good news; Unfortunately as we can see with this rather unfortunate image, there has been a slight problem with the ARC variant. We are moulding, then painting these wagons mustard to get the consistency of finish. Unfortunately, there was an issue with the yellow plastic so they will have to be manufactured again. These will now arrive with the JSAs in December. We apologise for this unforeseen delay, but banana shaped wagons are not acceptable! Cheers!

RMweb Gold Popular Post Accurascale Fran Posted October 5, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted October 5, 2020 Hi everyone, Over the weekend the crew of "Charwelton - Into the 80s" gave our production sample tipplers a run on their epic layout. We will have images and some video footage of it later this week, but here's a teaser to whet the appetite. Due in the end of the month with plenty of stock available to order! Cheers!

RMweb Gold Accurascale Fran Posted October 16, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted October 16, 2020 Hi everyone, Here is some footage of the tipplers in action on Charwelton, running in their individual rakes to begin with.

At least is shows the lovely free running of our tipplers, with one loco handling all 35 wagons with consummate ease! Less than two weeks till delivery and the orders are flying in, so if you fancy some don't hang about! Get your order in direct or via your local stockist! Cheers!
