Speaker retaining clips are on the way 

Will the speaker retaining clips be available to order on the website? I have 2x 37’s to fit Accurascale sound chips and speakers to. 
Cheers. 
Bill.

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 😀

Hi

 

If it's the guagemaster prodigy you are referring too then you should be able to press shift - 2 then 0 (F20) etc, to go above F13.

Hi Bill,

 

Yes indeed they will. When they arrive in a few weeks we will put them on the website and put the link here to let everybody know.

 

Cheers!

Of course the "proper" solution would be to buy sound fitted ones in the first place but sometimes either you need to spread the cost, or you change your mind and decide to go DCC sound later on so just having the ability to buy the decoder and speaker is most helpful :)

DCC Sound 37027 is as rare as hens teeth for us down under. I cannot find anyone willing to send one overseas...

Its probably easier to go straight to sound if you're buying for immediate dispatch. If you're committing to a purchase many months in advance not being quite sure how prepared the wallet is when they come into stock, its not always easy to commit to full fat sound!

When. I ordered 37043, DCC and sound was but a pipe dream. I have ordered the bits for this as Large Logo is probably my favourite livery on them so it is only right to give it the gift of sound. The remaining 37s will be non-sound (unless I change my mind that is!).

I've a feeling you're gonna be looking at getting some Accurathrash in your others before long :)

I tried sticking on in one of my 40s, but there is no room, alas. Another good reason for Accurascale to do a 40! 😄

I ended up going for a round speaker with fair bass, but not up to the ‘Thrash!

I'm probably the only person on here who isn't happy about the delivery of their 37. Mine's been delivered and thrown over a 7 foot fence and I'm 270 miles away. I did hold the delivery and had confirmation that it would be held, but it's still been sent. Just hope it's not been damaged!

The loco's fine but there's now a small crater in your garden 😄

Just somehow found a slot for a pre-order of 409 and paid a despot at a model shop. Hopefully it sticks

Probably shouldn't have done with a manor on the way as well. But given that this particular loco is now semi-preserved with LSL it seemed a safe bet for a long future life (albeit probably in a different livery).

Just need to flog my two 2010-ish era Bachmann models now...

 

I presume the Scottie Dog logo shown in the livery samples on the AS website is an error/photoshop from the 37402 model?

I've love a Dog, but from what I can see its not prototypical.

Received my two Scottish 37's today. Just out of this world in terms of livery, detail and just about everything else. These are simply awesome and will be run in later this evening. Complimenting three i already have with a few more to come including the Heavy Yellow one!!! 😂😂. 
 

Accurascale have yet again, knocked these straight out of the park. My only regret is not getting loch Eil in DCC SOUND 
 

well done chaps.

Correct, has been mentioned a few times above but (holy moly) we're on 202 pages!! Large logo final photos are being done at the moment - and my they look good, even if I say so myself!

No, surely the next after the class 37 would be a class 38 !

 

So if Accurascale build it, perhaps Network Rail will follow suit?

 

Class 38 was a contender as a new medium power locomotive in the 80s, but if I recall correctly they canned it in favour of a larger Class 60 fleet.

That's one hell of a coincidence! Earlier today I was reading through an old copy of Model Rail from December 2007 and there's an article on Class 37's with reference to the Class 38 project - when it was 'shelved indefinitely' it gave rise to Class 37/4's, 37/5's, 37/7's  and 37/9's being developed

I don onder if we're due a class 38 a life extension re engine project like the 69s but with greater route availability.
