I see a few revisions to the end detail tooling, yet more to do. Still looking nice for what it is! As per the update it is revised but we are making additional improvements from this sample to the finished product Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The revisions thus far make for a visually more satisfying wagon. The cast Y25 bogies would be nice if the previously suggested extra detail highlighted around the bogie ends (best I have seen is Cavalex). Other than that, the key areas would be the handle bar base support which should be ‘thinner’ and with four bolts in the corners. The outmost spine should be flush and attention to the rather chunky brake panel and inclusion of the brake pull cord; could all be areas for additional improvements.

Hi Michael, The tooling improvements are completed and made since the decorated sample shown above was produced. The production has begun and delivery is December 2020 as previously stated. They are not currently in stock. Cheers! Fran Edited September 22, 2020 by Accurascale Fran Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium DRS Crewe On A Mission Posted October 13, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 13, 2020 Slightly late to the party, but wow these look fantastic and I can't wait for all of us to receive them soon! Excellent work as always! I can't wait to see the livery samples of the 37s to run with them, which probably aren't that far off now.

Danny, The 37s are delayed and according to Accurascale, should be available in the 2nd quarter of 2021. Definitely worth the wait as the photo samples posted so far look superb.

Definitely worth the wait as the photo samples posted so far look superb. Thank you for posting and I'm not fussed at all. I will echo the comments of others and say that I would rather wait for a few more months for the definitive 37 to be produced to Accurascale's excellent standards, than models be rushed and arrive with lower quality, errors and QC issues etc. I have to say I'm incredibly fortunate and grateful to be able to buy a few of these 37s, especially in the current difficult circumstances. The detailing looks excellent and as for the Wipac lighting arrangement on 423 and the 37/6s, equally as excellent and these noses and lighting arrangements just scream DRS, Europhoenix, ROG and HNRC. Just some of the many reasons I can't wait for the livery samples now. Can everyone tell that I just love modern image!? Don't tell Fran and the Accurascale team but I have been mentally wishlisting all of the 37s I would love to buy, so least to say roll on the second batch. I just can't think of a better loco and a better manufacturer to produce said class to a definitive level. Simply amazing, what's going on here. Kind Regards, Danny. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
