Dinmore Manor Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 (edited) A pleasure to have met Gareth at Warley, Tyseley and then at the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway to survey 7820 and discuss all the details and variations. Was clear from the start that he wanted to go all out with this model, I recall him noticing that you could see through under the running plate behind the front sandboxes and over the top of the brake cylinder, he said 'I really want to include that' Looks like he has too....!

Popular Post Pteremy Posted February 1, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 1, 2021 So if Bachmann do announce their retool next week will Hornby finally have to reveal the one they have been working on for 2 years? 30 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold tomparryharry Posted February 1, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 1, 2021 Nice, very nice. Initial pictures seem quite positive. I set out not to have tender locomotives, but both Dapol & now Accurascale place temptation in my path.

RMweb Premium Legend Posted February 1, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 1, 2021 (edited) Well that’s a bit of a coupon buster! I feel sorry for Dapol but that’s business . I’m also wondering if announcement 2 days ahead of the latest Bachmann announcement is significant . Would be a good idea to let people know what’s available later in 2021 But well done Accurascale and all those involved , it has been a much asked for model and I think the Accurascale way will be to keep us updated on developments as they happen rather than the project disappearing into a black hole after announcement . I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again , these guys truly are a breath of fresh air . Decent pricing too !

TomScrut Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 59 minutes ago, woodenhead said: Seems the fans on Youtube are not all happy - they want modern and no duplicates. First, why can't Accurascale do steam, and avoiding duplication is difficult today. I agree. Whilst it's not for me, the stuff left to do modern (loco wise) is fairly limited. I think the only loco classes present day or in the last decade (which is what I call modern, not the last 50 years) without a model (or without an EOI) are the 69, 88 and 93 and two of those aren't in traffic yet! Even those wanting a redo of something already out there because there's a problem with it it can be a hard sell as it is competing with something that would probably have scope to drop in price. I think fair play to AS for going into the steam market, I don't understand why some people get so upset whenever there's an announcement that's not for them! I don't think we are hard done by in terms of choice and I definitely think that as a collective we don't struggle for things to spend our money on! 2 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike https://www.facebook.com/DinmoreManorLocomotiveLtd/posts/1790480441117770 Yes, he got very keen about the brake cylinder when looking between the frames on 7808 so it was even better that he got a close up view later. I think the bogie is really something special as well particularly for an r-t-r GW 4-6-0 8 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel the 'Gearing arranged so locomotive can achieve a scale top speed of 90 mph' is inappropriate. Manors ran out of puff above 40mph...

9402 Fredrick Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 I was sold as soon as I saw that the DCC sound fitted models would have 3 speakers, this will be probably the best rtr dcc sound fitted steam loco considering how loud these locos are in real life. 4 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fincra Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 (edited) Not something I often do... But i've pre-orded 7808 "Cookham Manor" (DCC Sound) for the Heritage Railway Branch of my layout. The features and detailing look fantastic. Edited February 1, 2021 by Fincra 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold slow8dirty Posted February 1, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 1, 2021 Very interesting, impressed such a high spec model is still at what seems to be the standard Accurascale locomotive price point. Well done. I presume these were an occasional visitor on the Mallaig extension? Please? 3 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamingWales Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 (edited) I remember voting for this in the initial poll! This model certainly will be amazing and will happily be ordering one. One minor problem. All I want is 7822 "Foxcote Manor" and between 2 manufacturers it's not being produced Edited February 1, 2021 by SteamingWales spelling 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is there a variation in detail or BR/GWR batch changes that I am not aware of? I would also be interested in 7822 to replace my Bachmann model..... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Prism Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 (edited) 7806 at Plymouth North Road with its original fat chimney, so prior to its blastpipe mods. It's picked up some large boss drivers. Standard Churchward snaphead-riveted 3500g with narrow hornplates. I think the livery is unlined black (Manor liveries are a bit tricky!)

I was looking quietly at the Heljan AL6s and minding my own business when these dropped on my head. I forgot that Accurascale stuff isn’t discounted the way other stuff is. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
