Accurascale on tour


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

 

Our next outing sees us at Model World live at the NEC next weekend. We are proud to be headline sponsors for this new show, and as well as bringing our big stand with us, we were asked to bring something else that is big too (steady on!!) 

 

Can you guess what it is? Rich reveals all below! 
 

 

We look forward to seeing you there! 
 

Cheers!

 

Fran

I'm actually starting to wonder how everything is gonna fit in the hall for Model World Live considering its in a smaller hall than Warley had while trying to shoehorn multiple full size vehicles and the full Making Tracks layout.

Maybe about half the used area (possibly -20% of Hall 5) that Warley had?

Hall 12 = 10,195m2, against a percentage of Hall 5 which is 24,870m2 in total.

Really great video and I’m sure you had some fun making that! I won’t be there but wishing you guys a great time.
 

Random Q - on the email there were a few YouTubers mentioned in tag style  - was that supposed to be there?image.png.a7ceaeb543fcd984de5c8dc8e7fc43a2.png

Christ, how big will the box be?? 😱

Accurascale, if this is a hint of a new release then I think I’ll wait until next weekend before starting my new project. Literally about to start my own 108 tomorrow 😬

Probably to expand their reach to more railway modellers, who would most likely watch at least one of their videos.

That would apply to social media not an email surely?

Hi everyone,

 

37108 is making swift progress. Anyone on the M6 between Stafford and Birmingham should keep an eye out for it!

Accurascale moves into modelling 1:1 models of defunct loco types, DCC fitted with sound ad a lot of batteries 🤣

Now then. That looks an awful lot like 37350/D6700 in late 1980s "celebrity" livery.  Is this a hint for a future Accurascale Exclusive? 😉

 

If so could you let us know before I take a scalpel to one of my existing ones! 

 

Cheers!

Announcement? Is there going to be one?

presumably they could be putting up some stuff for us along with an announcement video, hopefully some buckjumper decorates samples

37350 and a Red Stripe Railfreight split box 37/3 as released from Crewe in the mid-to-late 80s are both ones I’m after. I remember seeing them ex-works at Crewe so an excuse to run them like that.

Just a gentle reminder (again) - RSH built EE Type 3 as delivered new to the WR.    (Yes I have mentioned it to Gareth)


Well, if we are reminding, a couple of the 12 Motherwell 37/3s.

Whats the story with 37108 ? 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 ?
