RMweb Gold zr2498 Posted June 12, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 12, 2023 Loch Eil arrived this morning Stunned by the quality of the packaging, literature and of course the 37. Reduced the volume CV63 to 120 (from max of 192), which was plenty for the room size. Love the brake function on F2 which operated on the ECoS via a lever. This is the wrong era for me but rule 1 applied in this case. Waiting for D6700 and D6703. Thanks AC for this superb model! 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Roy Langridge Posted June 12, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 12, 2023 (edited) Oh yes - 37027 has arrived and it as good as everybody has said. Only been unboxed so far, and wow. Test track will be out later and I will get to hear that sound first hand. Now to look forward to the others I have on order - lost count, but I think it is 4 5 more.

RMweb Premium ColinK Posted June 12, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 12, 2023 My Loch Eil arrived today. Came in huge cardboard box with loads of packaging - great for protecting it in transit, and I need a box that size for a item I need to post. The actual loco box is very big, going to be hard to store, but again great for protecting the loco. Intetesting leaflet about the loco and a driver’s story. Yes, the 37 looks great, the nice surprise is just how heavy the loco is, should have lots of pulling power. One query, in the box there was a card saying which way the switches in the loco should be set for an ESU decoder, other make of decoder …. as my loco is sound fitted I’m assuming I don’t have to do anything? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

billywhizz Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Got all excited earlier when I got a dispatch email only to find it was the screw couplings I ordered a couple of weeks ago. Hopefully next few days and 37026 will be heading this way along with a couple of sound decoders. 37027 is on order with a retailer so possibly next week. 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LNERandBR Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Got home last night and immediately unboxed my 37051. Very happy with it so far but I only have around 3ft of track to try it on. Even with that, it sounds very impressive. I very much liked the 'heavy' and 'light' options and how they change the way the loco drives. The brake and drive hold functions are also very good. Very much looking forwards to taking it up to the club on Thursday where it will be able to streach it's wheels and get run in. 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

se97mlm Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 (edited) My 37051 arrived this morning; it's great! Am amazed how well the flange squeal sensors work - that's a great feature!

Something that's grown on me is the AWS test when you change direction. Just need to remember to make the Cab Door sounds 😅 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mallaig1983 Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Mine pair arrived yesterday just after I left for work at 13:15. When I got home last night the power had been knocked out by the storm but was fortunately up and running again before bedtime. This morning I collected my box from the neighbour and excitedly took my locos out of the box. After reading the manuals etc the first was tested on the layout. Oh My. What a lovely model and the sound is another level to anything already In the fleet. First loco went on the rolling road for a decent running in and the second loco went on the layout for evaluation. I just couldn’t stop myself grinning like a loon watching and listening to these beauties. Absolutely fantastic stuff Accurascale. These are the first items I have from you and they’re unbelievable. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aureol40012 Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 (edited) What the hell is going on with all this positivity? I don’t know about you but I want to see comments like “this model is, objectively, the best RTR model I’ve ever seen, but as I’ve had to wait a couple of weeks longer for it to arrive than I was originally told, I now hate it and have just given it to a tramp to sell for food…”.
