I've caught up late on this thread so apologies if I've missed it, but is there likely to be a second run featuring other numbers? I'd like a model of D9000 in green with headlight circa 1999 condition for hauling Virgin XC trains. I note Locomotion's D9002 is pretty similar...is it suitable for renumbering or am I best holding off? I am after a model of the same loco in that condition (more likely than not even if I do manage to source the purple one.... I live in hope that Accurascale will find a couple more purple deltics as at the back of the warehouse when they finish their deliveries…) The main difference is around the cab front step which is smaller on d9000 (and has a reinforcing plate around it). Accurascale have tooled up the unique step for their blue version, so hopefully the tooling is also able to add it with a high intensity headlight. I dont think it would be hugely difficult to modify it (particularly if you can find a good paint match), but in the end I decided I may as well wait for the second batch and cross my fingers it does arrive.

No Decorum Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 I have been holding off because the folks at Accurascale have obviously been very busy but I have received an e-mail stating, “With the Deltics now delivered (and the last of the pre-orders being sent out to direct customers today) …” so now is the time to ask. How are the rotating fan units coming along please? It was mentioned that models have been designed with provision for them. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet, so provided this post passes the premium screening review, just to mention two further examples arrived today and are superb....

Fran Cheers Fran, always appreciate your speed of response and service, prefer you folks to look at it rather than tinker with such a highly detailed model. As mentioned in the other thread two others arrived today and am blown away with them. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold MikeParkin65 Posted June 24, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 24, 2022 Just noticed I have a hearing test booked for next week. If they ask about any particular problems should I mention 'a constant droning but only when I'm running my model railway'? 🤩 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowlander Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 (edited) To save me reading back more than two pages. Has anyone had any word from Rails as to their Deltic delivery situation? And when to expect any pre-ordered models? Stephen Edited June 24, 2022 by ayrmrg 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Chamby Posted June 24, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 24, 2022 Mine arrived this lunchtime. Very nice indeed. No issues with footsteps or chains, very secure in its generous packaging. The sound gave me goosebumps on first firing her up! Impressive weight, and very smooth running straight out of the box. H&B are definitely being shown the way... Looking forward to also receiving the white cabbed version still awaited from Yorkshire. 12 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium boxbrownie Posted June 24, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 24, 2022 I unpacked mine just a while ago and I know it was going to impressively details but, bloody well done AS. Yes a few bits adrift, two front steps from one side and an upper tread plate (that’s going to stay off!) and now just waiting for my glue to set after reattaching a brake chain which had come adrift from the body bracket (should have left it off as I need to fit a crew sometime but it needs to be out of the way for circuit work) non of this is criticism, at this level of detail I am surprised more hadn’t come detached, some of the bits are so fine it astonishes me. Oh and there are no screws holding the speaker brackets either, but not run it yet so they may be fine (you’ll have to find that lazy line worker 😆). Thank you Fran, McC and everyone at AS. 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haverail Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 My Porterhouse arrived today, such a magnificent loco! All seems to be working well, one chain came loose, my fault but will leave it until the body has to come off to fit crew. Sound is great, reduced by half to a reasonable level. Great work Accurascale for producing such a loco at this price point, looking forward to my Manor Class, 37 and 31! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
