RMweb Premium nightstar.train Posted November 4, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 4, 2022 Considering that their IRM arm are doing the Mk2c coaches, it's pretty obvious that Accurscale will be announcing them in the UK range. Hopefully there's another announcement too. I absolutely adore the 08, would love that to be announced. But there are already 2 pretty high quality models from Hornby and Bachmann. Is there enough of a market for a 3rd? I'll certainly order pretty much all of them, except for BR Blue. I don't see Accurascale offering an esoteric one off loco like the Decapod, that's more KR models milieu, or maybe Rapido. Although having said that they are doing the 89, but that is partly funded by Rails. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we will have one small announcement this year. Cheers! Fran Hi Fran sounds good to me. Small as in class 377 to start of an accurascale electrifying Britain range 😀 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perchance, a small loco to pull some small chauldrons??? Perhaps a... whisper it... a wee Conflat L 📢.

No, you're right, they clearly mean N gauge - all the Accurascale wagons and all the engines in N. What else could it be, I mean that N market is massive (well bigger than the current TT one right now this minute 😆) 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium ERIC ALLTORQUE Posted November 4, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 4, 2022 Needs to be something never done before,sort of the railway version of a woman that a man could understand.They went wide ball with the chaldrons so lets just wait and see. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowlander Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 I'll hope for a decent Freightliner/Colas class 70 in oo gauge. Hopefully with a bit of decent pulling power. Not tt gauge though. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully with a bit of decent pulling power. Pulling power and availability are about the only two major issues with it IMO. I have to be selective what I use mine on. Luckily for me I have got modified Colas and FL ones already so aren't lusting any more. Lighting functions could (should?) be better, and I think I heard it's a nuisance to fit sound to are the other smaller issues I am aware of. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoBoLoco Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Hoping that Accurascales 'small' announcement at Warley is largely irony! Hoping that they announce a range of multiple units based on Classes 319/325/768/769/799. So many variants & liveries could be produced with similar tooling for the most part. Would personally love a Royal Mail 325 unit, which would also truly look the part on any of Pete Watermans Making Tracks layouts. It would also be awesome to have the Diesel/Electric changeover sequence combined with the accurascale pantograph tech. & Dcc sound on a Class 769 model. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold palmsticks Posted November 6, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 6, 2022 (edited) How about a pacific? Far Tottering and Oyster Creek Branch Railway's Nellie.

RMweb Gold Godfrey Glyn Posted November 6, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 6, 2022 (edited) A small item to go with the chaldrons? It must be Locomotion. I can’t think of any other model railway company who would be brave enough to produce one, and indeed any more qualified to actually deliver one! What ever it is I am looking forward to seeing the announcement. all the best Godfrey Edited November 6, 2022 by Godfrey Glyn 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, The 769s are different from each other, although the TFW and Northern ones are close to a 319, but sufficiently different to involve interesting tooling. The GWR 769/9s would involve completely different toolings rather than simple mods to 319 tooling. The 769 change-over is not that special, no special noises or alarms unlike the 800 process, and the raising / lowering of the pantographs are independent of the changeover process (sounds odd but it’s true). I would love a 769/9 in GWR colours, but it would be a lot of work! Simon 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
