Makes a lot of commercial sense, smaller so you can get more on each shipping container to help reduce shipping costs and being smaller means people can run longer trains in the same space so will need to buy more from you. Look forward to seeing you all in Glasgow. cheers Mark 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold BR Blue Posted January 21, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 21, 2022 (edited) To be honest, I am not 100% what is meant by a "range". Do Accurascale have many ranges at the moment - 0 and 00 or are there others - accessories range, detailing parts range, wagon range? A range implies a set of complimentary products. We can probably rule out Steam Punk and "Lion Trains on film". If it is another gauge I would guess 009 but the definition of a range is very broad. It could even be a range of Mk2 coaches B, C and D or a LNER range etc. Edited January 21, 2022 by BR Blue Spelling Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So could be HEA, CEA, MEA, MFA, which would fit in with Accurascale's moving Britain ethos. Dagnabbit Mr BR Blue, you cunningly tricked me into having a guess. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Class 92 was one and an 06 is another. Heljan is quietly tackling small diesel shunters, though, and Mr. Kohler might do another knee jerk. * Perhaps I am; it eases financial pressure!

I’ve just been working out the requirements for my planned layout and need around 14 sets to run the working timetable! So around 24 power cars and 105 coaches. I certainly won’t be giving Hornby that business, so if you guys don’t produce one I might have to model somewhere else! 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
