Maybe for 1 April, @Accurascale Fran @McC might want to dissect one of the many scrap bodies from the Deltic development that they likely have at their HQ and have a go at modelling this. No real customer is going to be in the mood to butcher a finished production model, so AS are the only people who could produce the Definitive ex-scrapyard Deltic cab! 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember seeing a loco on ebay consisting of two cabs cut & shut back to back on a motor bogie, but I think it was a 37. ... please don't do that to an Accurascale one ! 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're a friction fit into the body, they just need a little tug and they come away. As the decoder goes in through the roof, the only reason he'd need to take the whole body off is to fit a driver/headcode/speaker, so it shouldn't need to be removed all that often. Cheers!

So how about a holographic driver,switched on or off by DCC,you could make him move and be there or not as required,you just need someone who knows about the technology.

I remember when I used to “accompany” my Uncle on his turns, as he had never smoked nor I he would never take an engine out until he had thoroughly cleaned out the ash trays and most of the detritus ash in the cab, luckily he hated it as much as I did……had some brilliant times back then. And his secondman would never have dared smoked in the cab with him either as he said “you smoke in this cab and you clean out then next one for me”…….he was hard but very fair and being the Kings + ASLEF rep they knew they would always need a favour one day 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found these at Road and Rails a few weeks ago and they are excellent little drivers, I think they are primarily for road vehicles/trucks but obviously work as Loco/diesel drivers as well, very well modelled and come painted. https://www.roads-and-rails.co.uk/collections/scenery/products/artitec-drivers-x3-painted Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
