I dont think its run this century and its had lots of body work attention over the years and clearly cared for, is this one coming back to life or just intended as a static exhibit ? The accurascale video mentions its having full restoration. I've also seen comments saying if was the one on the low loader in the Channel 4 program "The Bashers" so a small claim to fame. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Accurascale Fran Posted May 3 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 3 Hi everyone, A bit of a late addition this one, but I will be attending the Wexford Model Railway Exhibition in the Sunny South East of Ireland this Sunday and Monday from 11am-5pm. I will be there with the latest IRM announcement as well as some IRM and Accurascale goodies for sale on the day. If you’re in the area it would be great to see you! Cheers!

RMweb Gold Accurascale Fran Posted May 8 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 8 (edited) Hi everyone, We're back on our travels again this weekend, heading to Sheffield for our "take over" of Rails of Sheffield this Friday and Saturday! Richard, myself and other members of the Accurascale crew will be on hand to meet you and show off our latest wares! Not only that, but Rails will be doing special in store promotions on in stock Accurascale models too over the two days. So, if you're in the area, make sure you stop by, say hi and meet the two teams of Accurascale and Rails of Sheffield. Perhaps plans for another joint exclusive model to follow the Class 89 might be discussed among management too over the weekend.... Maybe you could even tell us both what you'd like to see as our next joint venture over the weekend when you come to visit! Like the 89, it would be something niche, special and have a bit of magic about it. We'd be keen to hear your suggestions. We shall see you there!

Like the 89, it would be something niche, special and have a bit of magic about it. We'd be keen to hear your suggestions. How about a Class 13? That ticks all three boxes and you could do that as a joint venture spin off from a main Accurascale range of Class 08s. Hint hint 😁 Edited May 8 by Chiltern Junction Meant class 13, not class 10! 3 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottrains29 Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 How about a PTA side tipping wagon as used on the North of England to Montrose Thompsons Carnegie Mag-Lime flow. These were used from the eighties until the early naughties so ideal behind a class 37 or even 66. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrakeCoach Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 (edited) An E2 would be nice and somewhat niche, but due to obvious reasons its also not that niche at the same time... Not sure if other electrics have enough demand to be justified (EE1 and EM1 comes into mind--too niche?) so I perhaps one of the diesel shunters that hasn't been thoroughly modelled yet, or a niche steamer, in that case, I vote LNER B13 / NER S! Though the overall feel seems like it also needs to have DCC sound available, so maybe not one of those. Edited May 9 by BrakeCoach Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would be niche enough as unless Bachmann did it no one else would have the rights to Tommy The Tank so you wouldn't need to consider the compromises needed for the blue thing.... It's whether a manufacturer would want two small SR 0-6-0T locos in their range that didn't have more than ten members in the class with them already having the P Class.

Jason Accurascale making E2s would be great, I'm not sure how the sound files would be made though, since unless they come across a good source, it could just be DC only.

No idea how they do sound, but they are doing it for the J67/J69 and the LBSC E2s outlasted those. The surviving J69 has never steamed in preservation. You could probably cheat as I doubt it would be much different to a Jinty. It was virtually a rip off of the Midland version of the Jinty after all.
