If a non servo decoder is put into the loco what happens? I.e. Bachmann say if you don't put a correctly configured decoder in theirs it could break the pantograph, they have their Zimo one they sell pre configured but a LP5 or LS5 work fine assuming they are programmed correctly. We’ve configured the servo “smarts” on a dedicated PCBA per pantograph. So they can handle generic functions. We are final testing the pantograph modules presently And I’m sure complete details will be forthcoming 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's brilliant really, whilst I am glad Bachmann did what they did (in terms of innovation) and it doesn't bother me to program a decoder to make it do what I want it to do, having it on board to just handle a standard output makes things easier and less confusing for a lot of people.

I'm sure there would be a market for a retrofit kit. They are pretty ordinary B-W pantographs aren't they? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ghost of IKB Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 (edited) Ah, i see. I took the word "retro fit" as meaning to fit to other models, ie Hornby and Bachmann, (and the possible accura 89) In terms of using the same panto, only the 89 is available, without duplicating brand new models from other stables.

Really impressed with you as a company. Don't worry, I have other locos that aren't my thing either! Awww thats nice @Sir TophamHatt- this is totally my thing, but i am a bit wrapped up with my Bachmann 90's amongst other things so my Accurascales 92 (probably EWS Beasties first, not sure which liveries after that lol) will have to wait - but keep up the good work and I like many others look forward to what you guys deliver with the completed 92s, which so far are looking and sounding mighty impressive @Accurascale Fran Kat@johnsonstreetIEMD Edited April 30, 2021 by DBC90024 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you've said it now! You've now got to a) produce more overhead electric models and b) supply the pan systems as a spare!

chris37422 Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Couldnt decide which one to order today… eventually went with 92020 in GBRf but no doubt will be back for more :-) can not wait to see the decorated samples. Also threw in a pre-order for 37423 and 37608 for the sake of it! Thank you Accurascale! 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
milan243 Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 On 01/03/2021 at 09:03, Accurascale Fran said: Morning everyone, This is correct. If you place any order for Class 92s between now and the cut off date you will get the earlier price. We had envisaged that we would have decorated samples before the cut off date of 19th March, but that does not look like it will happen now (more likely April) so we will likely extend the cut off date to after the decorated samples land so you can see them in all their glory before ordering. But for now, keep the original date in your head. Cheers! Fran Do you know when you will be able to reveal the decorated samples as they were due in late May? 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi @milan243, We have been assured we will now receive them by the end of this month, so reveal should be in early - mid August. Once we get them we will post them on here. Cheers!
