Torbay Express Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 4 hours ago, Johnson Street IEMD said: Ahhhh but there's the issue of operational access ... working 90s can go anywhere under the wires, 92s, those under DB can't operate on the English network at present, so the 90s still win, even with their reliability issues. Skodas > Dysons Class 92, was a complicated beast designed for a job that never fully materialised, based on a spec the size few could comprehend! It's basically 2 locomotives in one, hence cost about £3.5m each. Class 60s cost about £1.2m each in comparison. The 90 was just a more upto date 87.....hence the original designation of 87/2! One of the most interesting conversations I ever had with engineers at Brush, was that the Class 60 and Class 92 were the 'BR' versions that conformed to the BR engineers spec. A true Brush Class 60 and 92 would have been somewhat different! Cue Class 89.....(Must order one of those after the Class 92s come!) 3 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently IRM donated the black and Orange Deltic but instead of auctioning for the cause, a Ukraine General who couldn't read English used it as a shell and the Russians surrendered a city! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcus-Jay Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Probably the wrong place to make this comment, but the sold out button is a bit of a backwards offering on the accurascale.com site. Perhaps, the alternate showing what is *In stock* would be more useful for people with money to spend :-) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beyond that, it's just model train porn and a useful reference of what we could have had...... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold McC Posted November 14, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 14, 2022 On the top left of all collections, there are three buttons also, allowing you to filter the view to what's in stock, what's on preorder and what's sold out. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh, I think I had a moment! The in stock button only appears if there is stock available, as opposed to In Stock (0) for nothing available (which might be a helpfuly addition for those like me that didn't get it. But the 'in stock now' page is great. Well it was till I spotted a few things I wanted 🤣 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrel Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Paid my final installment earlier. Really looking forward to this model. The photos I have seen so far are stunning.

RMweb Gold Popular Post Accurascale Fran Posted November 18, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted November 18, 2022 CLASS 92 DELIVERY UPDATE! Hi everyone, Fantastic news! Our Class 92 electric locomotives are on the final leg of their journey, and are arriving at our warehouse W/C Nov 28th 2022! We will then endeavour to pack up and ship out the many, many orders to customers which will take several days of course, but they're almost here! We will follow this epic news with some equally exciting delivery news about our Mark 5 coaches next week! Our Class 92s promise to be a whole new level in RTR British outline locomotives, with quality seen in the highest end continental locomotives at a more realistic price point. When you see the twin motorised pantographs, the illuminated cab control desk, the wealth of detail on the roof and bogies, the stunning performance which will include our signature powerbank stay alive features, the various light modes, twin speaker set up and etched components, you will conclude the same. These have been very popular indeed and will be a talking point on any layout, so make sure you grab what remaining stock there is while you can. Who knows when we will produce them again! Check out Rails of Sheffield and Kernow Model Centre for limited editions, our retailer network for main range and below for Accurascale Exclusives and remaining stock. SHOP: https://www.accurascale.com/collections/british-rail-class-92 Cheers! Fran 14 3 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wairoa Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 That is great news. Just ordered EWS Class 92 off ACS website. Also finished paying for my Class 37 at the same time. Good times are ahead. 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium nightstar.train Posted November 18, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 18, 2022 Given that Accurascale don't seem to have any immediate plans for a second run with a nice EPS loco, I've caved and ordered 92003 Beethoven from Rails. It'll be getting anew identity as 92045 Chaucer in due course. For anyone who is looking for a model that is sold out on Accurascale's website, Rails of Sheffield are still showing all variants available to pre-order. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
