RMweb Premium Dominion Posted February 16, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 16, 2022 (edited) I just happened on a 6 page article in the GERS journal (Number 117 Jan 2004) "Deltics on the GE" by Peter Paye. There are 10 pictures covering 5 of the class and mentions of 7 others. The dates of the trip mentions or photos seem extend from 1962 to 1981. I believe buying electronic back issues on the GERS "Emporium" is fairly simple but only open members.

RMweb Gold Accurascale Fran Posted February 17, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 17, 2022 Deltic EM and P4 Drop-In Wheelsets Now Available to Pre-Order (Check out our lovely hand model!) Hi everyone, Our replacement drop-in EM and P4 wheelsets have been signed off and are now available for pre-order. They will arrive with the Deltics in April and are a doddle to switch out for OO wheels which come under each Deltic. Just flip off the bottom keeper plate on each bogie, remove the OO wheelsets, drop in your finescale set of choice, and all done! We worked closely with the EM Gauge Society and the Scalefour Society to ensure our replacement wheels met the standards required for both EM and P4. After extensive testing both have performed very well. To put them to the test, we brought our purple prototype mule to the Portsmouth show last November where members of South Hants Model Railway Club very kindly let us run it on their P4 layout "Eastwood". A big thank you to them for allowing the purple monster into traffic for some proving runs! To put them to the test, we had a finescale modeller convert the Deltic from OO to P4 themselves. His conclusions were that it was a very simple procedure; simply pop the keepers places off, old wheels out, just give the pick-ups a little pull outwards and new wheels in. No plastic trimming or major surgery required, and also very easy to retro-fit back to OO should one wish to do so. As you can see in the video, it performed flawlessly in front of a crowd (albeit looking a little out of place!) at a variety of speeds and through complex trackwork. Each replacement pack of 6 axles with 12 wheels is £24.95 and can now be pre-ordered from our website. If you wish to combine shipping with your Deltic order, just email us by clicking here with your Deltic and wheelset order numbers and we will put them together for you. Pre-order here: https://accurascale.co.uk/collections/wheelsets Cheers! Fran 12 1 1 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wheels in the photo above were the first pre-production samples that we pulled about and messed with a lot during testing. Cheers!

Ribird Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Question for anyone, Please excuse if discussed already, as search results did not come up with anything via this topic. Are Deltic nameplates the same size for the longer names? Like "The Prince of Wales' Own Regiment of Yorkshire", "The Royal Northumberland Fusiliers", and etc. From the renders, I can see D9006 "The Fife and Forfar Yeomanry" is very slightly longer. I would like to take 55011 or 55005 (the latter being sold out already) and rename/number it into 55019 "Royal Highland Fusilier". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're working systematically through the thousands of deposits, so it will take about a week for all balances to be sent out - we'll update here and via email newsletters when all have been sent. For the models with plates, the printed version on the model is there as a placement tool / aide, and is ever so slightly small scaled than the actual, Accurascale plate. A dap of black tack or glue and pop the etch over the placeholder should do it. 4 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But 55011 and 55005 are differently detailed models. 11 has one wiper per window plus cab air vents, 05 has two per window and no air vent. For 55019 in later years, it seems that 55011 is the model closest in terms of detail (but it appears to be fully allocated on pre-orders) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we cycle through balances due, etc, inevitably a small number of units may become available for sale again and the waiting list will be notified directly first.
