Dave I'm afraid only Rails can answer that question! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headcode blinds and dominoes on the black vinyl can easily go into the same models. So Accurascale can churn out GSYP GFYE and BFYE locos with the buffer beam skirts to their hearts content !!! Large logo, too. No apologies for posting this one again (phwoar!) from Flikr. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RBC Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 (edited) Not sure if this question has been asked before, having heard the body removal for the Deltic is a pretty careful and fragile process, does anyone know if the body removal for the 37 is similiar or more straightforward ?

Much more straightforward as the chains are attached to chassis rather than the body I believe. Important to also note that they are moving away from the attachment type on the deltic in the 2nd run (friction fit rather than glue) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to be fair the Deltic isn’t particularly fragile, it’s just the chains are a faff but once removed (if they haven’t removed themselves already) the body is secured by lugs that are easily unhooked so the body then just slides off 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted February 1, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 1, 2023 Now here's a. chance for Accurascale. Bachmann have announced a Vulcan Foundry built WR EE Type 3 - which leaves A/S with a clear field to do an RSH built WR loco in as delivered condition. And that would give us a choice or the very easy option to buy both in order to capture the subtle difference between the two. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rather guessed that, but just opening the order book would allow customers to place deposits and commitment with you. I have been hanging on for the GSYP centre headcode "sixty niners" waiting for the Accurascale order books to open. Now Bachmann have propped the temptation door wide open with their announcment today - even though their D6829 probably won't have the western lamp brackets etc and is not really a "pukka" "Cardiff coal hauler". Still exercising patience !!!! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still exercising patience !!!! Why not opt for both? Accurascale aren't going to copy the exact example that Bachmann is offering and you'd normally see multiple of a class if you are in an area that they are common. Bachmann's will appear shortly because that's how they operate now. Whilst based on the new batch of Deltics there will be time to either pay in installments for the Accurascale version or wait until they appear around next year. Sorely tempted by the Dutch Bachmann's 37 but I've spent too much just recently so can't really afford it appearing right now. Accurascale's pay in installments option makes it far easier to justify in my eyes as it spreads the cost out nicely and makes budgeting easier. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
