RMweb Gold Popular Post Accurascale Fran Posted August 18, 2020 RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted August 18, 2020 Our latest announcement is the distinctive HYA/IIA bogie hopper wagons! We have been working on these beauties for a while now, cutting steel before the COVID lockdown. As you can see, we are well advanced! We will be offering these in twin packs in GBRf, Fastline and Touax branding at £74.95 per pack with some very tasty bundle deals also on offer! They will also be available though our network of 'Accurascale Approved' stockists with a delivery of Q2, 2021. Lots more info, images and pre-ordering info here: https://accurascale.co.uk/blogs/news/hey-ya-hya-iia-wagons-in-oo-gauge Cheers! Fran 19 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium newbryford Posted August 18, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 18, 2020 while 2016 saw the debut of the first hoppers cut down to a smaller size for dedicated stone workings, with around 150 converted so far (These are both are of interest to us. Watch this space...) Here's hoping I don't have to do a cut n shut again............. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
classy52 Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Impressive wagons so yeah just take my money, I hardly spend it on the others so its fine...don't feel guilty. Hope you do the cut down converted ones as well in the future. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomScrut Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 I am pleased with this announcement, but I probably won't be buying any large coal ones. Shorty aggregate, or big ones with the biomass conversion OTOH I would be dead keen. Sorry for sounding negative, just need to be fussy now given the stuff I already have on order 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
classy52 Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 To confirm, are you only doing 1 twin pack for the unpainted Touax? Just a bit surprised you haven't included 3 packs off the bat for unpainted Touax as you've done for Fastline & GBRf. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold big jim Posted August 18, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 18, 2020 (edited) Oh you swines! another wagon I’m going to have to get a few of in various guises, I have 1st hand experience of these having both worked them with GBRF and fastline, in fact I worked the first batch of the 100 wagon fastline order from rugby to Doncaster when they arrived via the tunnel from the manufacturer a nice little modellable train of 6 or 7 wagons, unbranded and hauled by a DRS 66 I have plenty of pics of these in various formations, full fastline, part fastline/GBRF, full GBRF DRS loco, unbranded wagons DRS loco, GBRF wagons DRS loco, Fastline wagons Fastline loco, fastline wagons Fastline loco GBRF wagons Even a fastline 56 had a go (the one and only time one worked a coal train for fastline) Metronet loco, GBRF wagons GBRF loco, fastline wagons And if you are feeling flush why not model chaddesden sidings on a Sunday morning all 5 fastline 66s and 3 complete rakes of 21 wagons, and 1 rake of 20 wagons As you can see plenty of scope for swapping and changing both wagons and locos!

That is correct, most are still branded GBRf and Fastline and run together so we added a bonus Touax pack to make a prototypical rake for operational interest. 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gridwatcher Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Another great announcement. It will be a challenge to get the raw metal finish looking correct. If anbody can........ 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham108 Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 And great value as the Bachmann HTA is retailing at £50+ - that's if you can find one (Amazon has them @ £66 + postage!). Does each pack have a wagon with a rear light? If so and you order a bundle, how many wagons with lights will you receive? Can the light be removed?

One GBRf wagon and one Fastline wagon has the tail light, so one wagon per GBRf and Fastline bundle and two per total bundle will have the light. It can be removed with a bit of bodging/modelling!

So the next question(s) - do they work with DC / DCC; are they always on (when power is applied) or switchable? Will look a bit odd with multiple lights in a rake although I could always add one to the end of my rake of HTA; as none of them have a light - not bothered if it never happens in real life. I suppose I have to ask, expecting the answer "we don't know yet", whether future releases might just be packs of 2 without lights so a more realistic rake can be set up. PS - sorry if I'm coming across as fussy! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS - sorry if I'm coming across as fussy! Not at all fussy! Only two wagons have the tail light as previously stated. One GB and one fast line. The tail light is the same as our PTA wagons, battery powered with switch. HTH Cheers! Fran 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold TravisM Posted August 19, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 19, 2020 Really impressed by these but unfortunately I won’t be getting any as they don’t go anywhere near where I model. It might have been different had I continued with modelling the joint line between Spalding and Peterborough but I’ve chosen to model in a similar area but on a different route.

RMweb Premium DRS Crewe On A Mission Posted August 19, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 19, 2020 Another fantastic announcement Accurascale! I had actually been thinking that it wouldn't be long before we saw the HYA/IIA in RTR form in OO. Money dependant but I may buy some of these. I also think that the price of £210 for six of the GBRf HYAs is fantastic. I can't think of any other manufacturer that can offer such competitive prices especially on wagons and rolling stock. I can see these been extremely popular, especially seen as though haulage has been 60s, 66s and 70s recently. Just out of interest and in case I can't resist the bundle pack of six GBRf HYAs, do you know when the pre-ordering/paying of deposits will close if they are due to arrive in Q2 2021? Thank you in advance. Kind Regards, Danny. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do not close pre-ordering on new models until they come into stock and then ordering only stops when they go out of stock. We can take installment payments between now and when the models arrive but the installments must be paid in full when the model comes into stock. I hope that helps.

Many thanks, Fran Hi Fran, You are most welcome. As usual the detailing looks fantastic. Thank you for confirming that the pre-orders do not close. That's ideal for me because if I do buy some it probably won't be just yet until I have paid the money for my outstanding pre-orders. Paying in installments is also a really good option to have and it might be something that I do in future.

That's brilliant, thank you very much for letting me know. I have to say the easy pre-ordering of items on your website, just makes it even more convenient for people like me who love your models to keep ordering more.

See because I model the north really I have to have a rake of TPE MK5s, to run with 68019 and 68023. With the GBRf HYAs I have four GBRf 66s by Bachmann, four FL 70s, one Colas 70, that have all debuted on workings with these wagons before, but for me they aren't a must have, because I tend to concentrate on DRS locos and stock. But hopefully, money depending I might be able to place an order in say Q1 next year for a pack of HYAs with GBRf branding because they would look fantastic running with GBRf 66s. I have separate wishlists for models depending on if I really need them or if I would just like to buy them because they are nice, offer value for money etc, so I know exactly what you mean. With so many new models appearing at the moment we have to narrow down what we buy and I find lists are a really good way of doing this.
