If AS do the short ones I could use them together. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I was just clarifying though. Could have been a move of empties or anything couldn't it although doubtful as it might be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However 'working' would mean carrying a commodity or working empty, whereas 'in convoy' would mean a wagon move to a yard etc 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping for some other biomass wagons to be announced too so I could have 2 60s and two different rakes but it wasn't to be. I am looking forward to getting these although I expect they may need to be CL66 hauled until the 60s come. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium 7013 Posted January 6, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 6, 2021 I have ordered a rake to go with the 'Helvelyn' I have ordered. I do have a Hornby Capt.Tom 66 and a Hattons Freightliner 66 so I have a choice of traction even if not prototypical Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have a Hornby Capt.Tom 66 and a Hattons Freightliner 66 so I have a choice of traction even if not prototypical 66s do haul them so your Capt Tom I think could be regarded as prototypical (depending how strict you are) even though I don't know if it has actually done that work since the relivery. I always go on the premise that if an operator could put a loco on a particular train within believability it's prototypical, even if it hasn't happened in real life. But that's just my definition of it. I have pre ordered both from Hattons in the knowledge I can cancel 95 if there is a concern about colours, 26 in the case it doesn't return to service and I don't lock in to 2020. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Accurascale Fran Posted February 16, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 16, 2021 Biomass Appeal! Decorated samples of our IIA Biomass wagons have also arrived for assessment. Once again there are some printed areas missing, and there are tweaks required for colours, but overall they capture the heft and feel of the real wagons very well.

Sorry for the dumb question, but I've been meaning to ask this for a long time - what are those red lines all over the side of the body? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steadfast Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 The lines are weld lines from construction @MGR Hooper!, the bodies are unpainted metal. Freightliner (obviously toned down under the dirt) and Mendip Rail have wagons with similar finishes too. Jo 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold jonnyuk Posted November 12, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 12, 2021 sorry for been a dollar short and a day late, did these get released in Q2? i can see they are still pre-order on the AS web site. If not released yet, is there a delivery date? Given Hornby now do 60 in GBRF they will make ideal partners to it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi @jonnyuk, They're on the way from China as we speak, update here: https://accurascale.co.uk/blogs/news/hya-iia-and-cutdown-hya-update-october-2021 Always worth checking the "latest news" section of our website for latest updates on all projects.

RMweb Gold Accurascale Fran Posted November 25, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted November 25, 2021 Hi everyone, Just a quick update on these; we've had to make modifications to the internal packaging as the initial vac form did not protect the wagons adequately, following testing, so each wagon had to be fully repackaged following modifications. These will now be in stock and ready for dispatch in mid January 2022. Cheers! Fran 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Accurascale Fran Posted January 27, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted January 27, 2022 Hi everyone, We have the production samples in hand now (along with the long and short HYAs) and can show you some of the finer details and tampo printing below. We just wish that ship would hurry up, but these will dock with us in March. Enjoy! Due to massive demand on pre-order, remaining stock is rather low, so make sure you get your order in to avoid disappointment. https://accurascale.co.uk/collections/iia-biomass-bogie-hoppers Cheers!

Steadfast Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 The printing on those is really superb! I love the inconsistency in the thickness of weld lines, really well portrayed! Jo 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
