Agent Cooper Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Impatiently waiting for my dispatch email "Nimbus" unfulfilled (but paid for). Never even knew I needed a (sound fitted) Deltic until the small person and I went to see Heaton Lodge. A set of PTA wagons highlighted Accurascale's OO detail and quality, and a "won't miss that" instalment plan twisted my arm... and then a few days later a 'modern' 37....and then.... 😁 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ac1874 Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Loving reading this thread, genuinely felt like a kid at Christmas this morning. I've not felt like that for many years, it seems that I am not the only one either. 4 6 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's see what happens though and you have got to respect the channel, following and career Sam has made out of his channel. Is this the time to do "Sam Scans" in different scales? 🤣 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karl Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 3 hours ago, Karl said: Working from home this morning and a nice early delivery, 'The Black Watch' straight from the box in the morning sunshine. I agree with the comment that the box doesn't feel heavy but when you take the model out it really is! Fantastic looking model. Just to follow up, it's had a test run at lunch. Another silky smooth runner here! Accurascale have done a fantastic job! (Looking forward to my 4 Manors even more now and definitely weakening on a class 37!) One question, one of the chains linking the bogies to the body had come away from the body when I opened it. It's the only 'flaw' on an otherwise outstanding model. Anyone any advice on the best glue to use to reattach? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiniest amount of superglue applied with a pin or cocktail stick. The 37 chain is to the chassis so we have learned from it. Cheers! Fran 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DHL driver has retired hurt to get hernia treated! What can I say? It looks as good as we all knew it would…. Now, where is ECoS? Luckily the neighbours are away ….. Not surprised you went for this version Phil! Despite being a Deltic photos of it like this are uncommon, I didn't see one until around 20 years ago and I can still count them on the fingers of one hand (maybe including the thumb!) I just missed green Deltics in action - my first visit to Kings Cross was in December 1969 and I think the last green one (D9014?) had gone blue a few weeks earlier. I did see 55002 in green in 1980 though - once! And only because I was living in Lincoln at the time. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
