One of only three Deltics to carry a domino headcode to withdrawal and it was in this condition that The Green Howards is alleged to have achieved 125mph down Stoke Bank as a last hurrah for a retiring driver. Would be great to have a model of the fastest Deltic to run alongside other ECML speed record holders. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

97403_Ixion Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 In a new run, I would really like to see D9000 in heritage two-tone green, with headlight, as it was running for Virgin services on the GWML in the late 1990's. I have a nice collection of Virgin Mk2's, so just waiting for the loco to recreate such a train! Outside of that, D9009 in two-tone green or 55019 in BR blue... as preserved a few years back before it changed livery. In the meantime, hoping to get my two out on the track to hear them very soon, when time permits. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok then 🙂 D9016 in TTG with WIPACs (split run between TTG and Purple as others have suggested?) 55019 in Blue as currently running 55008 in Blue (not sure if the unique buffers are tooled though) D9009 in Railtour Green Oh and erm if you do want to enter the WHIF market or want inspiration for a shock loco on your Warley stand... I made this quite a few years ago but i'm still not sure why I gave it black noses. Cheers, 60800 I really like this!!I think it’s the black noses doing it.Any other angles available? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going2theDogs Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Hi All, Looking at the next batch of Deltics, a particular favourite of mine has always been D9000 ‘Royal Scots Grey’ in the two tone green livery. With Accurascale’s attention to detail & supplied with ‘sound’ it would definitely be on my shopping list. Go on Fran, you know it makes sense. 🤞 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ajax50046 Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Dear Accurascale if you do D9000 in two tone green as per Virgin XC days then you can name your price and I will sell my car to fund it. I’m surprised no one has mentioned an Accurascale Exclusive of 55023 in L*** H*** yet 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold TravisM Posted July 8, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 8, 2022 Crew ordered for my 1970’s 55001 St Paddy, but I’m struggling for a crew for both 55002 and 55009, and how they be dressed if manning one that was out on the mainline in the present era? Would it be shirt and tie, open neck shirt with a hi-viz on or just a plain shirt/polo shirt? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's likely we do that with others. Cheers!
