Torbay Express Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 1 hour ago, Accurascale Fran said: Hi Chris, Many thanks for pointing out our error on that pricing. It has now been amended to match Kernow. Cheers! Fran You may have been selling them off cheap, like another manufacturer has with their Collectors Club editions. You wouldn't have had to take the certificates out cause the original benefactor of 92017 didn't do them! Actually, its a shame after your recent models that your designer hadn't been allowed to do something 'sexy' with the box with it being Stobart. Not his fault, but it must have been an easy day in the office, but soooooo hard for him to knock something up that resembles a black and white tv screen, when he's used to technicolor! Thinking laterally, the St.Piran theme could have been utilised, with photos in the other three rectangles of the flag. Definitely one, where beauty lies within! More points for the promotion, please....... 😇 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torbay Express Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Yes, but now McC knows that Fran has cost him a few euros in lost revenue. Thats Frans cake bites gone for all shows including Warley this year. Your officially on Frans s+++list now, just like me! Welcome to the unofficial 'Accurascale Club'! Just don't tell anyone about the Limited Edition Deltic in Irish Black and Orange we are getting done! Sssshhhhhh! 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sssshhhhhh! I've been on the lookout for that for years, even since it was first 'announced' one April a few year's ago. I'd still go for it, what a great novelty loco, what's not to like? Class 37 and CIE Black & Tan livery. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted February 3, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 3, 2023 Its not load haul, but it is black…. picked-this up in a waste bin.. no kidding. Was thinking to put a Bachmann chassis under it (no offence but A/S ones are a bit rare £ right now). Need to come up with a number for it. Was wondering whether to give it Deltic stripes on the nose, or discs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the talk of points, I’ve just saved Accurascale from lost income surely that deserves points too… 😉😉 On the subject of point on the purchase, mine pinged up you have 0 points awarded for this purchase !😂😂 is that because its a Kernow Model. Well done either way Fran. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For clarity the rewards system gives you points for every single pound you spend. it doesn’t care what you spend then on or what other discounts are stacked up with it :) in the rewards widget you can click the ‘click’ history icon and see a full log of what you have earned and spent points on.

adamvb Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 First mentioned in the MK5 thread alongside issues with the lights on those, but just thought I should ask in this thread instead. My 92 has been away with Accurascale the past month after it developed the random speeding up/slowing down issue which has turned out to be a faulty motor and poor solder joint which needed rectification. Its now come back and aside from pipe detail that has been caught in reassembly and bent up between the chassis and body, and a new click from the bogie when running slowly which I'm hoping will go away with some running in, the power bank of capacitors is now not working (and was before it went away) - has anyone else had this and managed to solve it? I can see there are various comments in the thread about power supplies to the layout being the issue, but I've tested on a PiSprog 3 controlled layout and on my programming setup with a USB Sprog 2 and its not working on either. Appreciate any suggestions before I have to send it back to Accurascale for a second month away! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, how the industry is going with some companies getting upset with duplication, Warley may become a Warzone....... Thing is no-one has a divine 'right' to anything. In fairness with the HAA and CDA Accurascale kept away from some of the most popular liveries, to give a competor an easier ride, which was commendable. I'm not sure with the actions of some competitors in recent times, such altruistic behaviour in the future can be justified. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi @Torbay Express, We did it for the retailers who commissioned the project to play fair (as they were our retailer too and did not know about our model), but it is certainly something we won't be repeating going forward. As you say, such behaviour really cannot be justified. I think it's safe to say we will see more duplication going forwards, but ultimately the modeller wins out there. Anyway, possibly another subject for another thread. Cheers! Fran 5 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not how I would have repaid such decency, and a manufacturer with such exacting standards. TBH, as you have become a mainstream manufacturer then I think its actually the case that there are certain items that you need in your portfolio, to compliment your existing and future product. For Diesel and Electric Era, the two whalloping gaps. Plus for the smaller layout, something to shunt them, although apart from no lights and it's cost, the Margate one is very good. The real opportunity with that is...... (but not saying it on here, because walls have ears....)

Hi @Torbay Express, Completely agreed on requiring certain items in our range. It is the approach we take to any new model we consider and as we have shown in recent times, we like to build trains and ranges (like 92s and Mark 5s, 50s and Mark 2Bs, as well as Powering Britain etc) as we go.

Obviously we've had the excellent for their time Mainline/Airfix/Dapol latterly Hornby tooling for the BSO/TSO/FO but never the BFKs and those are very visible in formations whether ECML or latterly Inter-regional services and would tie in with Deltics too ... hint hint ... ;) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one with the most likes wins. 😁 in an old company I worked for, they arranged a charity boxing match between competitors sales reps, that got exciting, most of our guys were cheering on the rival to give our man a battering, they want to join in and help.

And with the tech from the electrics, painting abiliy on the TPE MK5, Opens up the Class 88. One large gap on the wagon front is you not having an intermodal wagon. That would put some of your Irish Containers to good use, if Irish is OO (pardon my ignorance). It would also make for a good Accuraload too!
