Mike Harvey Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 I think it refers to the castellated flange you can see in the roof CADs, commonly referred to as the Boo-ring. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

John ks Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Am I correct in thinking there should be 2 insulators where the arrows are pointing John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold McC Posted April 6, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 6, 2019 (edited) Hi John, There are 4 insulators across the bottom of the panto there, what you see are just the bases, they've not been rendered in the drawing but will of course be there We hope to share our 'finished' factory CAD early this week!

letterspider Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Hi I have just been reading about the Bachmann Class 90, which will also have servo operated pantographs. Apparently this will require a bespoke DCC chip in order to control the servo motors. Will this also be the case with the Accurascale 92 and as it has two pantographs will it require two DCC chips? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Letterspider we are designing the 92 for the ESUloksound 5 which will handle all functions with sound and will be finalizing the exact list of standard 21 pin chips that will work without sound in the coming few weeks as we work to finalise the circuit layout. No ‘special’ chip will be needed. Hth Stephen 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold BR Blue Posted April 22, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 22, 2019 It is a sound chip and assuming the Bachmann 21 has the same 21 pin socket it would work but the sounds would be incorrect. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until we know what function the servo for the Bachmann 90 is on and how the chip needs to be configured, I am not sure we can be so confident. Given Bachmann’s statement, they *could* have designed the 90 in such a way that the standard ESU chip cannot support. I hope not. Roy 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted April 23, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 23, 2019 (edited) Slight aside, but if you want a sleeper fest, Saturday May 4th at Finsbury Park between 0645-0930 is the place to be.. WCML diversions, and platform length restrictions means the Southbound sleepers take the ECML from Newcastle to KX as 3 portions not 2. This produces 3 inbound full, 3 LE movements inbound, 3 ECS out to Hornsey, followed by a further 3 ecs reversals to access the NLL to Wembley... except some legacy AC Electrics to play part. http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/search/advanced/FPK/2019/05/04/0000-2359?stp=WVS&show=all&order=wtt&toc=CS Sunday 5th sees 3 northbound departures from KX in a similar set of moves, so some appearances from 86101/86401/87002 could well be at the buffers of KX that night. http://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/search/advanced/FPK/2019/05/05/0000-2359?stp=WVS&show=all&order=wtt&toc=CS Edited April 23, 2019 by adb968008 3 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted April 24, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 24, 2019 Addendum to my above, 1E35/5E35 Glasgow lowlander looks like it will be run with Mk5 stock in to KX, and presumably require 92’s both ends for the ECS on Saturday 3rd. 5E72/1S72 looks also the down lowlander could be Mk5’s from KX on the Sunday 4th May.

RMweb Gold Popular Post Accurascale Fran Posted April 29, 2019 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted April 29, 2019 Hi everyone, We are delighted to announce that the CAD for the Class 92 is complete and has now gone to China for tooling. We are on course with our envisaged release date of Q1 2020 now that tooling has begun. We also have an intriguing solution for the pantograph but for obvious reasons we wont be going into detail on it until much later in the life-cycle of the project (competitors heads over your shoulder, etc.) Here are some renders of the CAD, and we will of course keep you up to speed with progress once we get news from the east!

Hi mate, Tape measure, a billion photos taken on the roof, and some serious health and safety procedures as well as invaluable assistance from a man who works on these machines every day. We always find a way in the end! Cheers, Fran 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSpencer Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 This is some serious piece of kit. Now the question is which will get Model of the year awards? The Accurscale Deltic or Accurscale class 92? 3 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
