I've not felt like that for many years, it seems that I am not the only one either. Agreed. I drove past a Rails van this morning and wondered if it might be full of Deltics 😆 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh that wonderful moan, other sounds pretty good too. You or the Deltic? Holy horsepower, that is a big box! Meld is here.

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 don't suppose there's any online? I had a hunt around for some but couldn't find any of number 10 in this condition. I also have #10 on order.

RMweb Gold 08221 Posted June 17, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 17, 2022 Looks simply amazing, best UK outline diesel by a country mile! Mine is coming from Rails in due course, on the strength of the comments and photos today, I’ve ordered a 31 and 37. Well done Accurascale, you have proved to make excellent products at a fair price and you deserve every success! 1 4 1 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 Still awaiting my pair so haven't seen the chains to comment on but I wonder if a small dab of PVA or even black tack might be better initially on the grounds that if it goes wrong both are easily removed without leaving a mark?

RMweb Gold Bucoops Posted June 17, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 17, 2022 (edited) Do I win loose bits Bingo? 3. Thought about asking on support, but then then decided a collection of common, and not so common loosey bits on here might be helpful to others. This is not a complaint. ok it was supposed to be left to right so I shall do bottom to top... Bogie guard iron? Fuel tank bit which has already been mentioned? Not sure on the top one - is it another fuel tank bit? I assume all can be reattached with a smidge of superglue? What a beast though :D Edited June 17, 2022 by Bucoops Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soz, I didn't expand the top commentary so I only saw the top line else I might have said he does have skin in the game on sound. But sound is quite subjective, we all hear uniquely just as we all remember things according to our own bias. But I thought the video did justice to the loco and the sound package as installed by accurascale. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a couple of days is about the fastest I have had a reply from them about issues. Then again, is dealing with each case individually and not engaging with the public on forums and the like meaning they are inefficient in this regard? 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelG Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 2 hours ago, G-BOAF said: i.e. training with F5 engaged?! F5 on ESU is normally throttle hold function, when engaged loco will continue moving or not moving at whatever speed step was selected when F5 was pressed allowing throttle to control engine notching instead of loco speed. Useful to simulate starting off with heavy loads, or simulate coasting on idle, progressively releasing F5 iteratively to decelerate or accelerate if departing. Independent control of notching enables prototypical simulation of thrashing as a heavy train starts to depart a station. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
