Over the weekend since not in work will get the whole set out. Have to say by far the best UK coaches and as said previously on par/ better then the Trix IC2/IC coaches. Like the Technics powered station announcement system you have. Very nice for the layout room. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And good lord, have the bids amazed me. Shot up and I’m now making £200 plus profit on the deal even when factoring in eBay fees Fair play. these coaches have been on sale since before Covid. There’s no excuses not have bought them. There was several different payment routes on offer and very flexible terms. Until recently most were on sale, aside of the 6 coach Aberdeen set, most were in stock until not long ago. if people missed them it’s their own issue, £25 down they could have bought them years ago and paid in instalments. Obviously circumstances don’t matter if they can afford £3k on one hit on a set of coaches. 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

vanbasher Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Because I can't seem to review on the Accurascale website (yet) I thought I'd do a detailed review on here for you all to read, with that being said... On with the show. I received my 2 Lowlander packs (Edinburgh portions specifically) last Wednesday but only got round to properly testing them tonight. I do not have a permanent layout (another yet) so I just set up a circuit on my hard kitchen floor for the purposes of testing. I've decided before any running to replace the magnetic Dellner on the coach at either end of the rake of 8 with a tension lock, I used 92010 with sound for the tests &.... It was hugely successful! I had 4 curves (3rd radius I believe) with 3 double straights at either side to make it a fairly big circuit & everything I did worked incredibly well. There was no separation while running around, no derailments, all the lighting worked as it should & in the dark it looked incredible. I got myself some PVA glue earlier today & all coaches now have their respective destination boards set to London Euston, another very easy job to fix them in place too thanks to the Accurascale guide on the website. I have a TPE set pre-ordered which should arrive at some point this week that I'm thoroughly looking forward to. The Sleepers I never actually pre-ordered but when people on here began to receive theirs I knew I had to have some... & I'm so glad I jumped at the chance when they came back into stock. In conclusion, these are the best RTR coaches I have ever, EVER got! the innovations, the detail, the presentation & just everything down to the smallest detail simply shows what can be achieved today by a company that listen to their audience & provide incredible customer service in every circumstance. I could not recommend these enough to anyone interested in modern day Sleeper operations. Thank you once again A/S for an absolutely incredible product, you continue to smash things out of the park & you've got a very loyal customer for life. 10 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus-Jay Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 A slightly tenuous link to the MkV coaches but since they are in them might as well as here as anywhere else.... What is the correct term for the cling film esq material these coaches, and lots of other things are shipped wrapped in. This is the wrap that goes around each individual coach. Would like to order a roll for other packaging solutions. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcus-Jay Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Had my first run of my set last night and they are quite spectacular. We have a day and night set of videos on our club page: Stevenage and District MRC Out of the box the full rake of 16 coaches proved a little heavy for the magnetic couplers. I suspect the wheel sets will free up with a bit of running. The rake felt very heavy even as a manual movement. The really funny thing is packing your stock away and the lights still being on as you put the lid on the box 🤣 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Market65 Posted January 24, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 24, 2023 Hi. I hope I may be able to ask this in this thread. In February, 2019, I pre ordered one pack of TPE Mk 5a’s. I understand they are being dispatched this week in order of date of being pre ordered. Well, I have had a notification from DHL, in a text message this morning, that something is due to be delivered in the afternoon today. I have not yet had a dispatch email. So I’m left wondering about the validity of the text message. If it’s the carriage set then that’s fantastic, but I was under the impression there would be a dispatch email first. I hope someone can advise me about this please, only I am due to be out in the afternoon. Your hopefully, Rob. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted January 24, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 24, 2023 Thank you, E100, that’s most helpful. Well, I’ve taken a chance, and clicked on the link in the text message. It is valid, not a scam, and the Mk 5a’s are out for delivery, with the driver, in the afternoon. So I’ve rearranged my afternoon schedule so I can be in to accept the carriages. I am very excited!

Edge Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 (edited) I hadn’t signed up for any alerts on the product pages themselves - so I didn’t get any notifications. singed up to the lot on the off chance that more are about, but suspect I’ve missed the boat on this one it’s actually kind of funny - the accurascale website is mocking me while I look at it with notifications of what other people managed to buy lol Edited January 24, 2023 by Edge 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
