RMweb Gold Accurascale Fran Posted December 5, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 5, 2022 Hi everyone, A big shout out to our graphics man Tim on the box for these and our other models in recent times. He's doing some terrific stuff that just blows us away time and again. Other home runs include our Class 92 boxes for the Accura exclusives and Rails special editions which you may have seen and of course the Caledonian Sleeper boxes too. Cheers!

Fran Does it come with sun glasses, or is it a glowing load for another Nuclear Release.... Very nice, really good attention to every part of the model as always. Fabulous. It just makes everything everyone else does look drab...... Edited December 5, 2022 by Torbay Express Extra comment Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CazRail Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Just seeing the box has made me even more excited for these to turn up. Looking superb 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toolongtoremember Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 That box makes them stand out against everything else... it's brilliant! Is there a space inside for a class 68 as well at the top? 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made a comment that was ridiculed for his own ego, or that was the interpretation. And according to his footnote, may like to do it again if it offends..... The lesson is, treat others as you would like to be treated. You just don't learn.......'I always forget a sense of humour is often as lacking as common sense.' Anyone can make a mistake, but Twice???? It's good to know that you do actually know something even if you sometimes forget? ,and don't have to assume everything - is that from personal experience? I'd consider adding Mutual Respect too, it's pretty low on some agendas. Let's get back to something worthwile..... Those Mk5's really do look delightful and most definitely will be the talking point of many layouts. Only negative is the box - such a shame to store an item of such beauty under the layout! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium nightstar.train Posted December 9, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 9, 2022 Many pages back Accurascale said they're colours are 100% accurate to the real thing. So whether or not Dapol's offering is also 100% accurate is the question, and if Accurascale live up to their own hype. Hopefully they'll be a good match. Felix is poised and ready to pounce when they arrive! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a very interesting question. As I understand it the Dapol colours are inaccurate and the Accurascale colours are accurate which means chances are we will have a mismatch. OTOH, the photos suggest that the colours are reasonably close to the Dapol ones. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've already though about that and I am glad Accurascale have the colours correct as the Dapol colours detract from the 68. I shall be just running a DRS 68 on the front of my set. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Watto1990 Posted December 12, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 12, 2022 I suspect this has been asked and answered but after wrestling with search I figured I’d just ask - what kind of decoder will the TPE Driving Trailer require?

Any good 21 pin docoder will work, if you just want directional and internal lighting, none will actually be needed (the magnetic wand will work) so you only need one for sound, or DCC control of the car. 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely the directional lighting won’t work on DCC without a decoder? How would it know which way it’s going? Or can you set the lighting direction with the wand (very clever if so)? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
