Accurascale Class 55 Deltic - 4mm scale


Recommended Posts

  • RMweb Gold

How do you get the horn to do the typical duck fart sound of a real Deltic horn? Was running mine yesterday after also hearing some on a video and on my model KOYLI the sound is very clean. Sadly some of the tiny bits already knocked off even with careful handling, at least with the 2ft rule I won’t notice they are missing.

Why do you want your Deltic to fart like a duck?

Should it emulate that other ECML racehorse, Mallard ?

Couldn't think of another way to describe the sound. The Accurascale horn sound does not reproduce the sound like I remember from Deltics. Perhaps KOYLI has had a new horn fitted in preservation and it is correct for today.

Legomanbiffo’s project has the horn spot on in my humble opinion.  £20 for a reblow

Hi there.

We're all wary of various 'Gulf disruptions' and that there'll also be the Chinese New Year (10th February).

I see Rails mention the Batch 2 Class 55 'Deltics' are due 'Q1 2024'.  Is this still a fair estimate or what is the approximate ETA please?

Al.

Does this mean the Deltic will arrive before, after or around the same time as the Sheds?

Getting close now, for both of them .... YIPPEE !!!

They are all coming in series, with 66, 31, 37, 55, 89, 50 all coming roughly a month apart from March onward, intermingled with the various coaches (Mk2c, Mk1 subs) and wagon projects already announced and on the way, and then of course -all- the unannounced stuff coming too :)  (and thats just the D&E category()

With the unpredictable nature of new toolings in terms of timeline we now only announce when we have EPs and production slots are scheduled. This will allow a sub 12 months delivery window.

McC’s comment was a fly to a fish! 🤣 That list is diesel and one electric. We’ve been told that (what is it, five?) steamers have been promised but not yet announced.

That is excellent. Naturally I don’t relish delays, however unavoidable they may be, but I’m a fan of early announcements. Twelve months gives me time to plan finances. Announcing something with (sometimes) only days until it appears isn’t helpful at all. I await the very enjoyable quarterly announcements of a certain manufacturer with a mixture of enthusiasm and dread.

Great to hear these are approaching. Particularly excited to glipmse the boxes for the Exclusives. I wonder if there's a chance we'll see some bonus treats in the detail bag as with the Manors? To me D9000 never quite looks complete without that headboard!

I've just belatedly pre-ordered D9000 and paid a deposit. The pre-order was accepted, but it is now telling me the full payment is 7 days overdue. I thought full payment was requested when the models were almost ready for dispatch. Do I loose my pre-order if I don't pay in full now?

You can ignore the set date as they’re not due until we chase you :)

Just looking at the accurascale website, D9000 is listed as an A/S exclusive, does that mean  it’ll have  differnt coloured box? I have 1 on order.  :)

 

Yes. All exclusives get bespoke boxes (including third party commissions and exclusives for retailers)
