RMweb Gold mudmagnet Posted June 30, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 30, 2022 Crew arrived today and look great. Had thought seeing pictures would need a little touching up, but once in the cab will not require touching up. Will get the body off and fitted "dry" before deciding. Will also take opportunity to fux the speaker brackets down a little firmer. Plus will add a little "oil / dirt" paint washes to the engine detail to enhance the depth. Weathering next but must remember to mask the holes through the vents on roof on the removable section as concerned that don't want blow paint onto the decoder. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't suppose anyone knows if the Early Crew are available yet? Not seen anyone mention it but both are showing as pre-order on the Accurascale website.

Mike Yeah, but was it close enough to inspire him to start a new channel? Sam's Stains 😛 Good News! I've had a delivery notification for my dead crew! Bad News! I'm not in and the tracking seems to put it somewhere near Ostend! I'm hoping that's a red herring. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Eddie the dog Posted June 30, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 30, 2022 Regards the crew, received mine this afternoon and to be honest was expecting the images on the website to be early production samples. Without being too critical, whilst they will look fine inside a diesel cab I am hoping for better quality if footplate crew are to be produced for the Manor’s please 👍 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoarCrossovers Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 D9008 was waiting with my neighbours when I got back from work. I must say, I am quite surprised by the size of the box it came in. Quite a heavy little loco, runs like a dream on my teat layout. Only real issue I am noticing at the moment with mine is that one of the bogey chains are come loose from the body and I now have to fiddle around reattaching the tiny thing.

tlm Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 To be honest, when I first saw Wolf27's picture of the aftermath of the derailment, while admittedly it was only on my mobile phone so rather small, nevertheless it reminded me immediately of DP2 after its July 1967 altercation with the cement wagons near Thirsk ! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That stone was rather close. Surly a photo like this should carry a warning. Did anyone feel an earthquake when it landed? A safety strip would certainly be a worthwhile investment, unless you are inventing a new game - catch the Deltic! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jammy2305 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Just gone to detail my D9010 and I noticed that train air pipes are included, as is the appropriate hole in the bufferbeam. However, the Napier Chronicles website suggests that D9010 did not receive dual braking until it was painted blue in February 1968. Is anyone able to confirm if I can/should/should not fit said pipe to my model if I wanted to be accurate? Cheers James Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey28 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 (edited) Received my D9002 today what a locomotive 👍 My first accurascale product it won’t be my last. just two questions does it have missing screws for the speaker? I’m not getting any issues with the sound a the moment and how do you change the head code? I don’t want to take the body of if I don’t have too so will leave that if it’s a body removal job My first accurascale product it won’t be my last. did miss out on the purple one as a I was asleep when the email came though last week .hopefully there will be another run of these Edited June 30, 2022 by Monkey28 spelling Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
