RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted March 13, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 13, 2022 Nice geographical tie-in could mean Alexandra Palace station. So an N2 would be logical but is it small enough? The station wasn't used for goods traffic but it did receive coal for Ally Pally so an addition to the coal wagon range sounds plausible and would maybe fit the 'small' description?

I take it you mean the long-closed station built by the Muswell Hill Railway, on the line from Highgate? The present Alexandra Palace station was Wood Green when built, then Wood Green (Alexandra Park), then back to Wood Green again, but by the time it became Ally Pally it was only served by 313s.

The Ghost of IKB Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 I suspect a small announcement will be something like a re run or extra liveries on an existing announcement. Any loco or MU would be more than "small". I agree that a Finsbury 31 would fit the bill. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure which tube trains would have run up to Ally Pally if Adolf hadn't stopped them completing the New Works Programme - but they're all pretty 'small' ! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torbay Express Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 (edited) Kings Cross Gas Works - coal wagon to fit in the powering Britain Range perhaps? Think Accurascale should be barred from attending shows: No shows = No announcement = Money for food and petrol.

Would have been Northern Line 1938 stock as per EFE model. Destination plates were made for Elstree, Bushey Heath and Alexandra Palace but the lines weren't built. Aldenham bus works was originally going to be for housing Northern line stock but became the bus works when the tube was abandoned. Elstree plate shown here, can't find genuine Ally pally plate at the mo'. https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/1938-tube-stock-destination-plate-308140123 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers! Fran I was only kidding about being barred (shows are a very good way of releasing new product announcements, plus promotes the show)! I hope you gents are made very welcome to any shows that you attend. It must also be quite a logistics exercise and commitment to plan and attend shows this side of the Irish Sea. (Asking the experts - is Guinness any good this side of the water?) I am sure I can speak for a huge majority and say that modellers up and down the country really appreciate the time and effort that you put into your fantastic models, the honest and dignified manner that the company conducts itself and ultimately the support that Accurascale provides to the hobby. 2 5 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your kind words @Torbay Express, and know you were only kidding. We do love having a bit of a laugh on here and being laid back on here with you all too. As for the Guinness question, I've had underwhelming experiences of it in my London days so tend not to drink it when away, but if anyone can recommend a watering hole in the North London area for this weekend that does one I'm all ears (Familiar with the pubs of East Finchley being a former resident, along with some in Highgate and have enjoyed some ales there in the past!)

I think that is the best guess but you never know. “Small” might be something in N scale, a small loco in 00, something in 0, with the “small” being tongue in cheek. I shall just have to sit quietly as quietly as I can manage until we know. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
