All these parcels arriving in a short span of time might raise questions with the domestic authorities. It’s a worry. My father in law said to my rose “I think Dirk may have about 10 engines.” She responded “I think he has more than that.” I said to my dearest “yes I think I have more than 10. I should count them one day.” Topic then changed to Amazon shopping for Christmas. I was safe! 1 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 None of our factories work nights, and yes air freight. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

47423 Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Will the Westie be easy to remove off 37409 as it didn`t have one for most of its time. Certainty not on the short set anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me modern image 00 means Accurascale, Revolution and Cavalex now. With the occasional odd surprise from Bachmann/Kernow (I did get 37418 from the latter). Long may it continue!

It might be worth making it clear that this is pre-production example on the webpage, especially for those who have pre-ordered based on this artwork / may be ordering a last minute example.

Well you maybe should as they do actually do some good things. My rolling stock collection (all of stuff on the network at the moment) would be far worse for having ignored Hornby. Just as it would be far worse for ignoring everyone else (except Heljan who do very little for present day). 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out Accurascale’s blog for delivery dates: https://www.accurascale.com/blogs/news/want-chips-with-that-class-37-update-october-2022 One thing Accurascale do very well is keep their customers up to date with project status and estimated delivery dates.

Has enabled me to buy more on the never never. I’m currently paying for a sound 89 over 6 months with two months left to pay I couldn’t possibly have afforded all that I am waiting for without this facility. It is useful. I hope that if Accurascale announce a big unit type thingy that will run into many hundreds of pounds they can extend the instalments to 12 months to help afford it. 3 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi @Lord Cooper, We're delighted you like your 92 and we would certainly see an EWS tractor in our future. Is EWS hitting heritage "cool/nostalgic" status now I wonder? Cheers!
