gary_lner Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 I'm throwing in the mix that the accurascale exclusive could be a class 50 set in GBRF livery. Even though we've seen the other 66 waiting to be announced. Would still be nice for the 50s. Regards Gary Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

billywhizz Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Was going to make the trip to Chester later in the month. Looking at booking the day off work and going on Friday instead. Be good to catch up with Accurascale team and see Making Tracks III. Couldn’t get near Making Tracks II at Milton Keynes last year. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottrains29 Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 The fact the new announcement is an Accurascale exclusive doesn't necessarily mean it'll just be a version of an existing model. It could be an all new niche model like their Acc-Exclusive mk5s. I still think a class 185 would fit nicely in their range, or perhaps a track tamper. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Joseph_Pestell Posted August 3, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 3, 2023 Sadly, missed out on this Accurascale "takeover" as I went to Chester yesterday. Oddly, my first ever visit to the city given that my grandmother lived on the Wirral. It really is an impressive model and I hope it gets out to other exhibitions. Operation was a bit iffy as they were allowing visitors (mainly children) to drive trains. Can the Accurascale team do any worse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given a bit practice they will give it their best shot im sure, watching on http://railcam.uk/mt3/ so its not just us mere mortals that get issues,looks fun and children grow up and some become train nerds,its what is needed to keep the hobby alive. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

billywhizz Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Took a trip up to Chester yesterday. Great to catch up with Fran and the team. Finally met Richard at last too. Found that the crowd thinned out later in the day so was able to get a good look at Making Tracks 3 along with the Accurascale goodies running on it. Although not my era, the Caledonian sleeper rake with the 92 is very impressive!! looking forward to seeing all of the Making Tracks projects joined to form 1 layout in October. From what Pete Waterman was saying, there is a lot of work to do! Cheers. Bill. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium E100 Posted August 6, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 6, 2023 Will second that. I went on the Friday and it was a pleasure to chat with the team as always. The full rake with the 92 was really something and put into perspective the sheer size of this train. The 37/6's (and the 97/3) along with the 89's. The loco's really benefitted from the loud sound in the Cathedral. If you haven't been yet, do make it down as it's unforgettable, no doubt even without the bonus Accurascale crew. The Railnuts guys are really happy to chat too. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the magnetics holding their own now? When I asked about the sleeper rake on Monday and the magnetic couplings I was told they'd glue them together for reliability, not sure if this means just the magnet or also the pockets. The rake was very impressive, I spent most of my time there on Monday following the 37s around and listening to the sound, while I wait for my 37001 to arrive😊 Although using AS Manor as a Thunderbird on a set of B/G Coffins due to a failed 87 was a bit odd!!!!🤣 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Popular Post Accurascale Fran Posted October 3, 2023 RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted October 3, 2023 Hi everyone, It’s that time of year again as the modelling season gets underway with the big shows coming thick and fast. As usual we kick off with the Great Electric Train Show at the Marshall Centre, Milton Keynes on October 14th and 15th where we will announce our first O gauge locomotive with a full tooling sample on display. Ahead of that however, some of the Accurascale team are on tour in a different way. Both @Pixie and I are currently in Hong Kong, and tomorrow cross into Shenzen to meet our factory partners over the next 10 days ahead of GETS. Following the visit we will have a full update on projects like The Class 31, 50, Mark 2s and more as we run through everything underway, and we will also bring you all an insight into the production process behind our models. I’m unsure about the availability of RMWeb in China so I won’t be online over the next 10 days, but @McC will be on hand in my absence. Look forward to seeing you at our stand at GETS in just under 2 weeks time! Cheers! Fran 20 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
