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…”. It’s not all good mate. It’s shown up I have a dodgey point that they refuse to stay on the track for so the civil engineers will have to pay a visit. Also it shows that my Prodigy Advanced won’t play any functions above F11. Fortunately F11 is the flange squeal which is superb. As others have noted there are lots of lovely little noises that play beyond the engine noise as you operate it. Heavy train mode is a roof slate rattler. I’m totally blown away with the quality of them. Sorry I’m gushing 😀 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Legroom Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Just taken delivery of Loch Eil in basic DC form and I have to say that it is stunning. The level of detail and finish is superb. Next step is to add a spare ESU decoder but I’m tempted to upgrade to sound to really do this thing justice. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold slow8dirty Posted June 13, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 13, 2023 So, there are worrying signs that DHL may have misplaced mine🫣. Not worried yet, honest.... 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
se97mlm Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 DHL said they would deliver it tomorrow, so I was very surprised when it arrived this morning 🤓. It was early after all 🤪🤪 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Bucoops Posted June 13, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 13, 2023 My crew arrived today - the local DHL chap appears to be on a mission as he's always about an hour before the estimated delivery window. Decoder due tomorrow so nearly time to get busy with Bob - assuming I can remember what I did with the speaker! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Popular Post young37215 Posted June 14, 2023 RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted June 14, 2023 37027 got run in yesterday spending an hour or so trundling around the loop on my west highland line layout. Everything about the locos performance served to confirm what an excellent model Accurascale have produced. I'll also commend their customer service people who have been first class in responding to a couple of my requests. The loco has been run straight from the box. The headcode lights brightness need adjusting as do a number of the acceleration related CV's. DHL delivered my loco crew which I need to work out how to fit where a quick glance at the guide indicates that I need to remove the whole bodyshell to access the cabs. I'll get around to these and learning more about the various sound features over the next few days. Ultimately I intend to lightly weather 37027 but that will have to wait for now. 30 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fran Thanks @Accurascale Fran. I guess when I modified my original order (which meant cancelling and creating a new order) and having the initial W for both 1st name and surname means I am at the bottom of the dispatch list!!😂 trying to be patient while reading all the positive posts from those who have received theirs!!

sulzer71 Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Spoke to TMC this morning about my 027 and they said they have had some of the Accurascale 37s in but they were coming through in small batches , was on ebay and Peters Spares had a sound fitted 027 listed so I just had to click buy it now so if they did physically have it in stock then it should be here by the weekend which means I'll have one to renumber/repaint/sell on when the one from TMC arrives Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiddles47 Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Ive just had a phone call from my shop (Arcadia) to say my 027 has arrived. I’ll be collecting on Friday all being well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
