Don't forget the tea stains down by the drivers side steps on the number 1 end, where Fred dropped his billy can and spilt his brew down the steps. Oh - there was also a light bulb out on the brake gauge in the number 2 cab, which would be later noted in the loco repair book and would be repaired a couple of days later. Wonder how many go and try to find pics of 37255 on 14/4/79 ? Unless your doing it in the condition of April 17th.....................

37403 Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Apologies if this has been asked previously but I didn't see a particular reference. If a particular model is sold out on the Accurascale site is the chance missed to get one? Or are the independent traders getting a separate batch?

The accurascale website will show sold out once all stock being made is allocated, including to retailers but that doesn’t mean all of our 128 retail outlets are in turn sold out. Hope that helps! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold TravisM Posted December 7, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 7, 2021 Hi guys, I heard a little bit of gossip yesterday regarding the 37’s, in that the delivery date from the factory to yourselves has slipped. I take all these “jungle drums” rumours with a very large pinch of salt but I thought I’d ask anyway. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our delivery date as it stands is still the same as per our last update, late Q2 2022 https://accurascale.co.uk/blogs/news/tractor-pull-a-first-look-at-the-full-class-37-range Deco samples have been delayed but we will have these turned around very quickly so do not see that impacting production as these start in the new year slot anyway.

He also said that the Class 92’s were delayed as well and he was going to cancel his orders because he thought you were ripping him off. I just wish people would keep their opinions to themselves regarding delays etc, as talk like this can quickly spread. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wish people would keep their opinions to themselves regarding delays etc, as talk like this can quickly spread. Hi Jools, That's most unfortunate. Perhaps next time your talking to him you could direct him to the news section of the website for the most recent Class 92 update, featuring the decorated samples? https://accurascale.co.uk/blogs/news/fade-to-grey-further-class-92-decorated-samples-arrive It may reassure him. Also, you can tell him that if he wishes to cancel he can simply log into his account and cancel for a full refund at any time. With the information published regularly and ability to cancel your order yourself I would like to think we are as up front and as transparent as we can possibly be. Unfortunately we have heard in dispatches that a competitor has been playing silly too, and putting information about us into the public domain through backwaters that simply is false. I guess we have them running scared, but it's a rather 'smalltime' tactic really and speaks more about them than us. Anyway, hope this clears your query up. Cheers!

Personally speaking if i had any similar concerns with the Accurascale Team i would have communicated with them privately -and if you wish people to keep their opinions to themselves you've made yourself look like a bit of a Pilchard by posting them on this Forum - just my 2p worth. 9 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
