RMweb Premium Steven B Posted June 9, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 9, 2019 Where did you get the 4mm scale Rapido coupling from? Looking forward to my few wagons making the long journey across Leeds. Will the next wagon be announced at THINGS? Steven B 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

classy52 Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 (edited) Hi Accurascale, Realtrack I know you have sold out on 2 of the Castle Cement packs (K & J) thus also the whole bundle option is now sold out but just a question on whether you guys would consider doing another run of these wagons in the future?

Mike Harvey Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Mine arrived yesterday. Impressively close coupling and with the elongation mechanism even works round a 9 inch curve. Smooth running. The packaging has a feel of quality. Removing and replacing the models in it is simple and well within what my banana fingers can achieve. The postman drop tested the packet through my letter box with no ill effects. Lots of positives with these. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium JR_P Posted December 19, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 19, 2019 Mine arrived yesterday - probably the most detailed N gauge model I’ve ever seen!!! One query though; which of J, K, L or M packs were the ”Heidelberg” sub-branding and which were the “building a better environment” ‘eco-message’…. I would have preferred more of the “Heidelberg” sub-branding and fewer of the “building a better environment” ‘eco-message.... I received J, K and M all three of which were the ‘eco-message’ sub-branding - so my question is; is pack L the ”Heidelberg” sub-branding, or indeed were there even any of the ”Heidelberg” sub-branding produced??? i am hoping these are still available for further purchasing!!! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I’m really confused, but having received three out of a possible four of the packs and in livery-terms only the ‘eco-message’ wagons, it still isn’t clear to me which pack letter I need to order to get the Castle Cement ”Heidelberg” sub-branding ! .... or is it that the pack letter relates to the running numbers of the three wagons, rather than the specific livery.... but that would be a very peculiar way of doing things, not least that the running number is too small to read (for me, at least)....! Thanks in advance for the additional clarification ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I received J, K and M all three of which were the ‘eco-message’ sub-branding - so my question is; is pack L the ”Heidelberg” sub-branding, or indeed were there even any of the ”Heidelberg” sub-branding produced??? Looking at the Realtrack Models website, it states that pack J includes wagons numbered 10607, 10612 and 10625. Coincidentally, the equivalent 00 pack J on the Accurascale website shows the same wagons with the building a better environment branding. The Accurascale 00 packs K and M also include the building a better environment branding, so I'd assume that the same artwork has been used across both scales. The Accurascale website indicates that the 00 pack L contains models of VTG 10602, 10610, and 10613 in the Heidelberg sub-branding and going back to the Realtrack website, N gauge pack L seems to include the same running numbers as the 00 equivalent. As such, I'd suggest that this is the only pack that is likely to contain the branding that you want.

Mike Harvey Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 (edited) For those who have not seen the production versions yet I show here all three of my Castle Cement cars (RT-CC2029-J) which illustrates the close coupling on the straight. There is also a close up of one car to show the bodyside markings and colours on the discharge valve operating handles. It also shows that the black background to the TOPS number panel has not been printed. Edited December 21, 2019 by Mike Harvey 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
