Best wishes Thanks John…. “when will we see the Accurascale Manor?” …. I don’t need one; I don’t need one; honestly….. Lol I don’t know the Accurascale guys well enough to get the right answer… if I needed one of course! My money is that next year Hornby announce Full Brakes and Restaurant carriages, available from April and Bachmann announce new Sunshine carriages for the same quarter and/or new 57xx :-) 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Neal Ball Posted November 25, 2021 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted November 25, 2021 Just in case though, I did fill in a product request to Rapido. Full Brake - any design for the 1930’s with shirtbutton livery. I included photos and where they could scan designs; super helpful :-) 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Planning to build them over the winter for spraying in the spring… Ah but think of the fun you will have making them all up. I’m enjoying the build of my two centenary carriages, although obviously I’ve found the H43 very challenging. Obviously full brakes and catering vehicles have been overdue for the Great Western from Hornby. 5 hours ago, McC said: Decorated samples of the manor are in hand with production lined up for the new year on schedule Thanks very much for that, does that mean they will be available to buy by April?

Almost within the hour, he emailed a screen shot of the DHL website asking for my address. Hopefully then DHL will collect the parcel today and send me an email confirming their instruction….

It will be good to see the decorated sample…… if I needed a Manor… which I don’t! In all seriousness though, it’s good that I can order in euros and have it shipped from Ireland. Since Brexit we are having huge issues here with customs. Anything to avoid our model railway items getting stuck for weeks on end has to be a good thing. 5 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice pic although I see the firebox door flap is not there but there appears tp be a slot in which it would fit (and it was on the CADs after the cab interior was sorted). And the 'deliberate mistake' (for some versions) is now well visible but it was going to be very difficult to do both versions correctly so it was left that way. However nobody has noticed it yet and they'll need to know quite a bit about certain details on GWR engines realise what it is - this week's RMweb quiz? 3 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold McC Posted November 26, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 26, 2021 Correct, this is an 'assembly in progress' snap before addition of the extra metal and etched parts (like the firebox doors, etc). A comprehensive set of imagery and videos should be forthcoming in the next 9-10 days or so with confirmation of delivery slots early next year 2 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Fatadder Posted November 26, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 26, 2021 I am still torn between buying a Deltic or a Manor, I dont need either and cant justify both.
