We have also received our first samples of our Accuraloads for these wagons, which you can now pre order for just £8.95 per three pack. These loads will arrive in stock with the wagons.

There I was about to order some loads to go with my MDOs - but I thought "That looks like half decent coal - not the sort of carp these wagons spent most of their life carting to innumerable power stations." ............ any chance you might do Accuraloads of machine-cut fines at some time ??!?

The pre production model of the MDV I commissioned has finally made it to Wear Yard. Seen here in the company of a HUO for comparison, both sport appropriate loads (those who watch the Monday Club will realise why a TARDIS) ED6EB2D8-F8C6-439C-9890-B561E760E9C8.jpeg.0c06abd006045b0c03fd3d58ec1c9788.jpeg

Hi everyone,

 

Great news! Our MDO, MDV and Coil A wagons are complete and have begun their trip west! They are due to land with us in approx 7 weeks time where they will then be checked, packed and posted to everyone who has pre-ordered them.

With five of the 10 different MDO/V packs we have offered already sold out here at Accurascale they have proven to be our most successful wagon to date on pre-order. Make sure you check out your local stockist, or order direct to avoid disappointment! https://accurascale.co.uk/collections/mdo-mdv-21-ton-mineral-wagons 

 

Cheers!

A quick update on our MDO, MDV and Coil A wagons: the ship carrying them has completed the first leg of its journey and is currently in Singapore to set down and pick up more cargo. The goods are on course to arrive at our warehouse early next month and we will then begin shipping to customers, so the wait is almost over!

 

As Fran has said previously, a number of sets have already sold-out at the pre-order stage and more will soon be added to the endangered list.

Any chance that a 'CIE' stowaway could be aboard? An Anglo-Irish affair of sorts? A certain Crossley department? If you know what I mean.

No stowaways to report. :D

 

The A Class journey will be revealed in due course. :)

Does the cryptic Facebook post mean they have landed?! It’s seven weeks on Tuesday since you said they’d be here in 7 weeks……. ;-)


well, the first sentence of the Facebook post says they’re about 3 weeks away from landing in stock so not quite yet! Container edges ever closer!

 

Cheers!

As a matter of interest Patrick, can you advise the name of the ship, or is it confidential at this point  ?

Starting to get excited, particularly for the Coil As. I have weathering products on standby !!!

 

Thanks

 Name withheld to deter any would-be pirates. :laugh:

It has now passed through the Suez Canal and the crew are experiencing a balmy Mediterranean evening... :)

We all know what happens when the obvious danger is passed, what could possibly go wrong now?...Lets hope that Mt Etna doesn't interject in Biblical style! (as much as I appreciate a good show of the raw power of nature)

 

Really looking forward to these landing!

I'm going to start the guessing game. It took the Ever Given 10 days to transit the Med and that was sailing at reduced speed and with 2 days sheltering off Sicily due to a storm. So I reckon that Accurascales MV Celtic Mystery must be well clear of the Med and approaching the north Spanish coast.

Yes, all the MDO, MDV and Coil A wagon packs and the respective 'exclusives' are coming in the same container.

Have you tried these with kadees? If so do you have a recommendation for which ones to use for a layout with 3rd radius as the minimum curve size.

 

The wagons feature standard NEM sockets on sprung kinematics, so any standard bar, or kadee will pop right in, On 3rd radius, the shortest kadee should give you nice close coupling.

Now I'm wondering, the current largest container ship , MV Ever Ace, is on it's maiden voyage, was at As Suways at the Red Sea end of Suez on the 27th August and is due at Felixstowe this Sunday 12 Sept. Could this be the vessel carrying the Accurascale goodies that will bankrupt me!!!
