Moderators Popular Post AY Mod Posted October 12, 2019 Moderators Popular Post Share Posted October 12, 2019 Whilst Fran and Patrick were over we met up at Leamington & Warwick MRS to take a look at forthcoming releases and run the Deltic and A Class. 21 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 This is superb!! The Deltic even heavier than the 700g Dapol Class 68 as well!! Slight panic at mentioning only 100mph scale speed for the Deltic with all of the stories of them hitting 120mph, but I'm sure it'll be fine .... !! BIG thanks to AY for following probably the most enthusiastic and interesting new model producer .... Al. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
maico Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 That Kato DC controller is the earlier version which isn't the smoothest starting for some locos but clearly no problems for Accurascale. Have feedback DC designs, which admittedly have fallen out of favour a bit, like the Gaugemaster HH been tried ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

maico Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 768g is more than some of my metal body locos so jolly good show. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Great for a model, but don't forget, despite it's size, at 99 tons if I remember correctly, the Deltic was a relative lightweight!! There again, a quick 'Google' has the Class 68 at 85 tons! If Accurascale were to make a Class 40, or 44,45,46 Peak, what would that weigh in at? !!

maico Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 (edited) In the name of science I weighed my heaviest loco a Wrenn city class steamer and it came in at 721g. Another metal bodied loco a Brawa BR216 diesel Ho 525g and Trix crocodile 509g, so I've not owned anything more than the new Deltic.

Allegheny1600 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 All you need to do is copy and paste the required sentence/phrase into 'Google' and it should give you some sort of answer. For example, as far as I can tell, adb's written text translates (partly?) as "can you speak Chinese?" Presumably, the answer is then " 'Deltic', yes!" Which I then re-interpret as "Chinese people can speak Deltic"? (I'm just guessing here, no wish to cause any offence). Apart from "Ne ho", I cannot speak or write any Chinese language. I hope that helps? Cheers, John. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Patrick Posted October 18, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 18, 2019 Is deis é seo labhairt as Gaeilge... I don't think there's a direct translation for "Deltic", although "Inneall Deilte" might suffice. Of course, one locomotive has a name derived from the Irish language: 'Ballymoss'. If I'm not mistaken (and there's a good chance I am), it should translate as 'Baile Uí Maolmóna'. 'St Paddy' can also be translated: 'Naomh Pádraig'. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porcy Mane Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Warley announcement? "If you thought the Deltic was a big announcement, this one's bigger". That'll be a Conflat L then! Or an O gauge Deltic. P PS. Deltic is just one letter away from Celtic 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
