RMweb Gold Godfrey Glyn Posted July 6, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 6, 2020 The most attractive BR EMU ever built and which has received a number of different liveries still hasn't been produced as a RTR model. It's a difficult model to stratch build, getting the front right is almost impossible for lesser mortals like me but that should be no problem for the team at Accurascale. I am of course suggesting the Class 442 Wessex Electric. all the best Godfrey 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As my sister would say... “its fow.. you wash it.. 4 faces come out”. Still everyones ridden a pig at some point. it would be one to model, just for the memory.

Long lived and seen just about everywhere on the London southern 3rd rail suburban network. Edited July 6, 2020 by jools1959 Typo 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Accurascale Fran Posted July 6, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 6, 2020 6 hours ago, 37114 said: Although I am not one for wishlist threads, I am curious if we will see anything more from Accurascale in O gauge? I presume that we haven't seen any new O gauge since the HUO that it wasn't commercially a success or at least not a big enough success to continue to expand the range. I have a Heljan O gauge 37 on order but it is far from perfect and it feels there is an opportunity for an original 37/0 in O gauge, especially with the CAD work etc already done for the 00 model for example? Hi Rob, We recently asked for suggestions for O gauge models and are mulling a few ideas over at the moment. It's very likely we will do a future O gauge model for sure, but it's a couple of years away at this moment in time. Cheers! Fran 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Black Hat Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 My suggestions would be: Class 150 DMU / 317 EMU. The DMU would be a good retool with lower floor and spec akin to Realtrack 144/156. Class 317 EMU (I think) could be the spin off... The GBRf Biomass wagons as mentioned. Class 20 - Bachmann probably working on it but it will take a decade... so you can beat them to it. Class 180 - might be a tad too big... Also rans Class 141 Class 151 class 104 HAA Wagon (which is coming somewhere) Class 40 Class 35 (I reckon this one will come from no where) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomScrut Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 I will follow up with what I just suggested to AS on Facebook, if I haven't already mentioned it here. FNA-D wagons, as these would work very well with their existing range. Also KXAs! Also a wider range of nuke containers for the PFAs? 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A new one will be a super model but you can guarantee that the price will be high for a wagon. Getting the rake will then be very expensive. So will settle for what I have. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if it's in this thread or not but I have mentioned the Civitys before as a desirable one to do because of potential commonalities across several classes, although the 397 is probably the worst one in this respect other than it may have some parts in common with the mk5s perhaps?

PS Don't forget the Class 40, nearly forgot!! As with all MUs, that would be an expensive item but it does look gorgeous and extremely tempting. No more expensive than a complete train of freight wagons, I suppose. Yep, I’d take one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold TravisM Posted July 11, 2020 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted July 11, 2020 I think what’s seriously missing are fully working level crossing barriers, in both single or double track, half barriers and those that completely close the road. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem with level crossings is that there is no "one size fits all" - all level crossings are different. Width of road and/or pavement to affect length of barrier(s), angle of road over railway just to list two major variables. But to maintain the wishlisting theme: A shorty HYA/IIA would do for me. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As well as what @newbryford said, how many people have layouts where they wouldn't be up and down so often it wouldn't look silly? I'd expect on a lot of layouts they would be doing several cycles a minute which could look pretty silly. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack374 Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Seeing as we're wishlisting... I thought the Rawie buffer stops that Accurascale released would be the start of more detailing items to come for modern-ish image modellers. The modern scenery market has long been under-represented I feel; if you look at the amount of trackside gubbins and general modern equipment used on the railways and roads, not much is available RTR with some kits and recently 3D prints here and there. So to my point...with a 92 eagerly awaited and an 89 on the cards from Accurascale, not to mention class 85, 86, 87, 90, 91 and a smattering of MUs from other manufacturers, I reckon there's a hunger for proper OLE. Despite being used countrywide, and in various (but mostly standard) configurations and types, the only products available are Peco's single masts and I think some from Heljan AFAIK, with over-scale wires from Peco and maybe others. I'm thinking British outline as I know there are companies overseas who produce OLE too. The only option to represent even a plain 4-track mainline is to scratchbuild. In my opinion this is the most evident no-brainer product missing in RTR, I'd say even more than any locos and units, as every model with a pantograph needs some form of OLE! All the above is just my opinion... I'd love to see a variety of OLE done well, and scale wires to accompany the masts/gantries. Thanks, Jack. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sails Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Why isn't anyway wishlisting the blatantly obvious, a high quality sound fitted Ben and Jerrys ice cream vending machine. I'd certainly consider buying one, maybe, not bothered really. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
