I don't follow this thread in detail so apologies if it's been mentioned above already. Kind Regards, Brian 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium E100 Posted October 17, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 17, 2023 Based on pervious releases, I'd expect my D6700 with locomotion from this batch to be here towards the end of next week or start of the week after and probably similar for other retail orders. I wouldn't be asking what's happening until at least after that time. I suspect this'll be a very large batch like the others so will take a fair amount of time to break down and ship out both for Accurascale and the retailers, esepcially when the all important QA is taken into account. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
carefreeroz Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Question to the Accurascale lads. Will BR Blue 37 001 come with option of domino headcode, rather than the displayed TOPS headcode? Thanks in advance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Gilbert Posted October 17, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 17, 2023 I know this has been covered somewhere but I can't find it - the speaker clips needs screws - I have two locos to do - what size are they and where can they be obtained? Surprised they were omitted frankly. Chris H Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are clips with tabs on for the 37s. Be careful though as it is possible to break the tabs off if not accurately lined up before pressing home. I don't know if anyone has tried removing the 'spring' clips but might be a little difficult? In my opinion, screws were a better option, as more control over the tightness. 1 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold 96701 Posted October 18, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 18, 2023 Derails have also been in touch about my 37001. Sometime before November is my guess. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold MikeParkin65 Posted October 18, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 18, 2023 Its funny how a request for payment makes a person so excited! Got my email from Locomotion today and paid straight away. Will make an interesting shed mate with Bachmanns take on D6710. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Bucoops Posted October 18, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 18, 2023 Interesting - when I ordered my D6700 I had to pay in full at the time. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Kaput Posted October 18, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 18, 2023 Anyone know how to disassemble the bogie frames? I took a punt on an ebay 37409 at a sensible price and one axle wasn't seated quite right and in removing the base of the bogie to reseat the axle managed to snap a bit of the front of the frame (item 48 on the exploded diagram). Before chancing my arm at getting spares from Accurascale it dawned on me I have literally no idea how to actually replace the part if I could get a spare.

Hope this is just a mock up? Below is the photograph on the Locomotion models announcement for D6700 On the detail listing: Article in KMW The grills on the painted version not the same as the first engineering sample or the works photo. There is a narrow bar at the centre of each of the 4 wide grilles? Just paid the balance. It will be good to get back to my original modelling era. Extra info: Looking at the Accurascale News update, the stiffening bars are in place. Pehaps the Locomotion photo is a 'mock up' as suggested or the lighting doesn't pick up the detail.

Ben If you are talking after market paint then Phoenix precision do both shades of B.R blue. Original and post 1985. The latter had more blue the former more green. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
