Hang on.. 40 days, thats around 15th Jan … batch 2.

 

so

92’s this week.. 6/12

mk5 CS next week +7 … 13/12

TPE + 14… 20/12

+21… 27/12… I assume they've got time off for good behaviour.

+28… 3/1

+35… 10/1 

37 batch 2 +42… 17/1

that would land batch one 1st or 2nd week of Jan ?
Strewth, I really need to make space.

Oh. Thanks. I did ask on the stand at Warley and was told they would be sent out soon. How are the invoices sent out? Is it by email? 
kind regards. 
Bill. 
 

Huge thanks to @McC very quick response on the Accurascale support page. Invoice sorted and paid. Let’s just hope the wife is not working from home the day a large parcel from Accurascale arrives!!

I've lost track again when are is the blue 37001 batch due?  Also what is meant in the Hornby Mag class 50 launch at @ 7mins 18secs, that with the 50 "we've tried to include the full package plus a little bit more than the 37, that will be in the 37 upgrade."  Anyone know, and is that next production run?

 

Working fans are slated to be added after the initial release as per 31's and 50's. Maybe something else too.

Hi @thetrains,

 

37001 is part of batch 3.

 

Cheers!

@TomScrut Please do not bring Reddit into RMWeb, what next? Grond.  🤣

Clarification please, I ordered and paid a deposit on 37027 in 2021. Just logged in to Accurascale web site which shows the order but not when full payment is due. How do I find out when I need to pay?

I don't think invoices for the balance will have been sent out for those yet, as that one is in batch 3. Batch 1 went out a few months ago (I presume as it was before the delay), batch 2 today. When you get the email you have a month or so to pay if I recall correctly.

 

As mallaig says below, best to get in touch with them.

I believe that 37027 is in batch 1 not batch 3. I think you should have had an email by now. Perhaps get in touch with Accurascale?

Ah sorry you're right. I forgot the Scottish ones were also in batch 1, thought it was just the /4s.

Hi @young37215. 
I logged on to my Accurascale account, my invoice for the outstanding balance was under “My orders”

Hope that helps.

Well, ive just paid for several class 37's 😉 as final instalments. Im really looking forward to these arriving including the Heavy Tractor Groups Class 37 and the Accurascale limited edition 37. 
 

what a Christmas and 2023 year we have to look forward to. Amongst all the public sector strikes and the woes we have, we can hopefully get to see these excellent models and have them running on our layouts

I asked the same thing a month or two ago for the same reason (I think on the "More model ideas" thread), but I did think at the time we would have had more announcements by now to fill the gaps.

 

That doesn't mean to say I am disappointed in the number of announcements. Plenty on pre order at the moment so new announcements aren't always helpful anyway.

So much more :) 

[Accurascale Fran]

Hi everyone,

 

To be honest to clear this backlog we held off on announcements for the most part. We wanted to deliver these and not be seen as an outfit that constantly announces but does not deliver models (though some do complain we announce too much, but when you compare to others we’ve been conservative if anything!) so we have working to get these to market.
 

However, as @McC alludes to, there is a lot more behind the scenes going on that we have been quietly working away on, especially now with our bigger team too. More on that soon of course. 

Cheers!

Define 'soon'? 😉

Soon as in not that far away 🤣

 

In honesty, I think it's a good idea to hold off on announcing more until more of what's already been promised has arrived. Too many manufacturers make announcements and then get bad press for not delivering those announcements within a short timeframe.

I agree, although I do like the existing approach of announcing once the EP has arrived. That's quite a lot of the development time dealt with already and people can get a good view of what they are likely to get, but still give people chance to prepare and also for the benefit of AS, get pre orders in so they can hopefully empty the warehouse almost as soon as it fills.

Sorry being thick but can’t figure it out- if batch 2 is 40 days away then approx how close is batch 1 are we looking pre or post  Christmas?

Right now, ‘at Christmas’ 

[gary_lner]

That's a great achievement In shaving a couple of months off the schedule. Is this due to the night shifts that you requested the factory to work? I'm sure it's not an issue with all the work you guys have been doing but with night shifts quality of work can drop a bit, were extra checks put in place incase that was an issue at all? And are they also being shipped by air again?

 

Regards Gary

The only slight downside is for those that have ordered 92s, Mk5s and 37s. All these parcels arriving in a short span of time might raise questions with the domestic authorities.
