johndon Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 (edited) Postman arrived at 7 this morning and I have one word for the guys at Accurascale... SUPERB Conversion to P4 looks like it will be straightforward with just a small amount to be taken off the bosses on the inside of the bogies to allow for wider wheels.

Krieghoff Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 (edited) my package has just arrived at my local post office and ive just been informed that due to Covid 19 and one of the staff testing positive that they have closed the post office and staff are isolating. Dont know when my wagons will arrive now as all deliveries have apparently stopped. Sad is an understatement. Hopefully RM will be drafting staff in to keep deliveries going but im not hopeful UPDATE, A very kind Royal Mail man plus a van pulled up about an hour ago. Now the proud owner of my inner and outer packs of British Steel blue and Orange tipplers. The chap had said that 48 hour tracked parcels were priority.

RMweb Gold BR Blue Posted November 21, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 21, 2020 My first batch have arrived and they are well worth the wait. There is even a separate battery included. 3 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krieghoff Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Update. Just to say that these wagons are nothing short of Superb. The detail is amazing and everything about them is absolutely spot on. Could i just ask Fran if you could please clarify one point for me. The Outer pack comes with a Battery and an accessory pack (coupler and brake hoses etc) However, the Inner pack doesn't have an accessory pack with it. Is this correct please as Im not sure but just wanted to get clarification on this one please if someone could let me know. Many thanks One Highly delighted customer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold McC Posted November 21, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 21, 2020 Correct yes. The accessories let you replace the NEM coupler and ‘finish’ the outer end wagon details if you don’t need to couple it. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it helps with the decision making, we have just 9 packs of 'PTA/JUA Bogie Tippler Pack - British Steel Blue (Inner)' remaining, and PTA/JUA Bogie Tippler Pack - British Steel Grey & Orange (Inner) is down to just 40 packs! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krieghoff Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 My wallet has just taken another battering. Just ordered an Inner and Outer pack of the British Steel orange and grey sets to compliment the Blue and Orange sets received today. These are stunning wagons and anyone contemplating them or hanging on the fence needs to get them bought. Lifes too short and when the tipplers are gone !!!! Thats it for me now until the KUA's and class 37's Thanks to all at Accurascale for bringing us excellent RTR models that personally ive been waiting for, for years. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold BR Blue Posted November 21, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 21, 2020 (edited) I have will have a full Llanwern to Port Talbot rake when all my deliveries arrive. It will be a mix of older and newer liveries. Now the small matter of building a layout big enough to accommodate it so that it is not chasing its trail around the room That may take some time. I should add that it has always been an ambition of mine to model this train and I am very grateful to Accurascale for making it possible. A decent PTA was always on my wishlist and not just for BSC but for the Mendip stone trains too. I remember making the case to Hornby years ago for the PTA as they had the ex Lima version in their range. The speed these have sold at just shows that Accurascale have another winner on their hands.

Big And Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 These wagons are really very very good - absolutely look the part and ran perfectly. The close couplings between the inners work very nicely and without fault on my layout. I will be starting with the weathering and internal paint job tomorrow - hope I do them justice. I had to give the lower brass tab a slight bend upwards to make contact with the battery - just mentioning in case that catches anybody out. I will be looking forward to further batches in other livery variations such as earlier and later Yeoman and the procor ARC. 9 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The orange end denotes the end with the rotary coupling and the plain grey does not have/require one. This allows the wagons to be kept coupled as it is emptied in the tippler house. Hence the one all grey with the orange coupled to a grey! The rotary coupler was not required on the aggregate wagons and was deactivated hence no orange ends. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rembrow Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 You, you Accurascale people, why are you teasing me with my PTAs, getting close to me, then taking them away, like I've been a naughty child. Already they got to 2 miles from me when they went from Felixstowe to your warehouse, now they've gone on a tour having been sent to Royal Mails north west England distribution centre, then overnight, while I slept, they got within 300 metres of me, as a Royal Mail distribution lorry took them past me on the A12 to Chelmsford, 45 miles south. Will my heartache never end. So what's the plan for tomorrow, take them past my door again and leave them in Norwich!!! 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisMitchell Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Mine arrived Friday and look superb. Just have to rewheel to P4, so will be ordering a pile of wheelsets later. A friend has also ordered 2 packs to give us a two rakes to run on the layout, so we will have to look at renumbering. Railtec transfers ordered already. Any thoughts on the best way to remove the existing TOPS markings? regards, Chris 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
