shunny Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Can I ask a question from the picture above with the driver, the window rivets seem very pronounced on the white surrounding I don't recall seeing them so noticeable in pictures. Is this something that was change in later life or did they get less obvious in later life, wore away or covered by layers of paint? Just wondering as I have 2 blue ordered and wasn't sure if they would be like later life? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about a third occupant in between standing on an old milk crate nicked from the shed, that’s what I needed to do to see out the Deltic windows……😄 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it's not a new musical movement combining Irish folk movement with Napier drone. It is a new range of driver figures and accessories! We teamed up with the great people at Modelu to design a driver and secondman crew for our Deltics. Using 3D scanning and printing technology and a 1969 issue BR uniform we have since created a coloured 3D print of driver and secondman specifically for our Deltics. Check out the whole story in our latest blog (including how a Hobnob almost got us in trouble!) and pre-ordering information. https://accurascale.co.uk/blogs/news/new-announcement-crew-your-deltics-with-accurafolk We will of course look to expand this British designed and made range should this first run prove successful. Cheers! Fran Ka-ching Two more sets sold!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Dicky L Posted June 2, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 2, 2022 Just wondering did Deltics always have a 2 man crew? or would it be appropriate to just have a driver in some of the Deltics? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they look a little more pronounced on extremely close up photos, but if you were to make them any smaller, then the paint would render them practically invisible. Viewed from foot or more away they look great. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

40052 Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 We had some single manned turns at Gateshead, generally trains formed of air con stock. There were double manned turns with air cons as well where one leg of the diagram was a steam heat set, or where there wasn't sufficient time for a PNB to comply with single manning agreement, or our London lodge turns - from at least 1974 when I started until HSTs took over we worked the 10.00 (Scotsman) and the 18.00 (Newcastle Executive) out of Kings Cross 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't there an agreement with the Unions that trains running at 100mph or above would be double manned? It was only later that single manning was agreed. HSTs were double manned when first introduced. Edited June 2, 2022 by brushman47544 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was around 1996 or so the agreement with ASLEF regarding 110 mph working was implemented. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was this unique to Nimbus at that time 1962, Accuras. specs say buffer beam mounted as was in 1964? I have Creppelo on order as Nimbus sold out, and was going to relocate horns to bonnet but now may put them on roof instead. Rule 1, haha. Cheers Are the bufferbeam mounted horns actually modelled? Contained in the bag of extras? I.e. is there anything to actually relocate....? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
