Motorway12 Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Two of my three arrived today 55018 and 55005 they look and feel fantastic and Ballymoss sounds great. Unfortunately 005 seems to have something vibrating inside (bit like the real thing often did) so sounds pretty awful - guessing it will need to go back to the Accruascale works for attention as I don't like to tinker too much... but on the whole they are great just waiting for 011 to arrive now which I ordered later... 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 Great, thanks Fran! I thought that'd be the case but didn't want to on my first accurascale model incase it'd damage the body. Thanks! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonderful packaging, and so pleased to see the whole loco wrapped in latex to hopefully avoid any nasty rub marks Looking at the exploded diagram, this is a VERY high quality model. kinematic couplings as well will doubtless please some (I don't use fixed bar couplings except for gangway stock), but it does mean the train is being hauled by the loco and not the bogies. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubber duck Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Number 5 arrived this afternoon, super impressed with it and well worth the wait, lovely quality box too, but the oversize box it was shipped in didn't have much in the way of packaging leaving plenty of room for the models box to rattle around in, hopefully something that can be looked at for future shipping.

amarr40 Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 It's great to see the Deltic's finally landing with happy customers at last. One question I have for you guys is that I don't see the nameplates nor buffer beam detail fitted at one end. Is this right? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-BOAF Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Nothing in terms of dispatch notifications from Rails for me today. Delivery tomorrow is my last opportunity until 12 July now to get my hands on either of mine.... I had hoped they would have received stock today and started dispatching straight away, but clearly not.... Oh well, two lovely Deltics hopefully waiting for me when I get back home. After all this time and excitement building, its a bit gutting to have to wait another 3.5 weeks. And by the time I get to them all the excitement here will have gone.... woe is me, woe is me. (yes there are bigger things in life to worry about) Will have to revert to my trusty S100 and Inspection saloon to keep me company on my travels!

Probably the only thing i could say as model boxes ive had are in free air in the big outer box with wagons before,must be cheaper to cusion them with more bubble packing than destroy a model,probably whats dislodging the parts off models.

RMweb Premium Alycidon Posted June 17, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 17, 2022 Hoping someone can help with me this. The first four of a total of eight arrived today, so I know it's something I'm doing wrong rather than a fault. I have removed the blanking plug and fitted an ESU Lok Pilot 5 21 MTC MKL 59659 decoder to each. They run lovely but I am having an issue with the lights. With the headlights switched off they come on anyway when the loco first has power supplied and after a second switch off again. If I switch them on with F0, they are fine. What I am struggling with though is the tail lights, F11 switches them on/off but only at one end (they are noted as being directional in the instructions) but they don't switch to the other end when I reverse direction, the headlights do. Like I say, I have fitted 4 and all are working in this manner so I am clearly doing something wrong, I am just not sure what. Any help or suggestions gratefully received and thanks in advance. PS These absolutely outstanding models! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly that bee jack, the Deltic PCB has several logic functions on board that needs a 59629 LokPilot or similar outfitted with functions chip to do them justice. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

D9JEF Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 (edited) Still waiting for my Deltic to arrive 😪 just wanted to comment on how ‘hands on’ and proactive the team at Accurascale are. It is amazing how Fran and co really care about their customer base and nothing seems too much trouble. This is refreshing and great to see. They deserve every success as they are clearly passionate about their products and (even more important) their customer base. Well done guys and…. Please send my deltic soon… Jeff Edited June 17, 2022 by D9JEF #typo 2 9 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to check my account to make sure all the details were ok and get this where all my orders have gone...
