Accurascale announces at KUA in OO gauge


Recommended Posts

Must say, though I had reservations about these wagons. On arrival, I thought I won a nuclear mine (I like mines). The weight is quite astonishing at c.420g! Certainly shall need a double headed 20/3 to ensure safe transport. I am pleased to see a number of previous 'quirks' ironed out and a rather pleasing wagon delivered (best to provide an understated compliment than all out praise) as you have done quite well!

For those looking to acquire some escort vehicles, Rainbow Railways have produced a quantity of each of the original MK2as, £70 each:

I've got no affiliation, just popped up on Facebook.

 

Thanks,

I believe Rainbow do small batches using their own paint process, so if you really want one then I'd give them a call to see what they can do, I wouldn't be surprised if they do another batch of demand was there.

Yes i guess Colin will be beavering away as his first batch was vapourised in a flash,i got one of the two before they went and as you say i think a few more will be produced to his high standards,just have to keep an eye on his site if anyone wants a pair to keep your heavies in,thanks Jon.

Sorry.....

No need to apologise - I wasn't after any as I bought 2 from Hornby last year in anticipation - half the price of the Bachmann version.

I was considering this, £75 is a lot for a coach but the Hornby ones look like they fetch about £40 at the moment and these look a lot better.

Given these a fairly light weathering.

While doing so, the more I looked at them, the more lovely detail touches I noticed !!

(especially the pipework under the end walkways.)

I have one of the Rainbow escort coaches and its very well done but just be aware the NEM pocket is slightly too high and has a stepped tension lock coupler. I've bodged my KD and it seems ok.
