Still not convinced by any sound chip that anyone has cracked the Class 50. Best herd so far is Mr Soundguy, but struggles with notching up. Jamie Goodman is supposed to be good! Different sound 'warm' to what most have.... Anyway that is hopefully for a future thread...... I digress, come on get your fingers out! Remortgage and bankruptcy awaits.........unless you take kidneys and blood donations as future payments! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not overly convinced by many of the sound files produced using preserved diesels limited to low speed use. They're fine for starting up and idling once they've properly warmed up, but the sound of a 37, 50 or whatever running well at full tilt can only be recorded on board a loco doing just that, and some classes are not main line authorised. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it stands the top end of the ex-073 power unit is being fitted to the replacement block/crank that we have been able to source. Work on this is progressing well and we hope that we will be able to announce the completion of this in the near future. - James (C37LG) As a follow up to my previous post (but without wanting to hijack the thread) the engine rebuild on 003 has been completed and the rebuilt power unit will be returned to UKRL on 6th June, with the plan being to lift it back into the loco in late June/early July.

RMweb Gold Popular Post Accurascale Fran Posted May 18, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted May 18, 2022 Hi everyone, Time for some Scottish growler action! Please note that these are pre-production models, and tweaks will be carried out ahead of production, such as fit and finish, the correct grey on the RFD and Metals locos, the RFD logo not being translucent against the grey, improvement of paint coverage on the yellow in particular etc. Still though, they are shaping up nicely!

RMweb Premium SHerr Posted May 18, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 18, 2022 Looking great, I have 37043 on order, I’m seriously considering ordering a second one to re-number. Whilst Accurascale are relatively new in having locos on the market has anyone done a renumber or major decoration removal? If so is it relatively painless or a risk of taking off paint etc? Removing Large Logo numbers on other brands can sometimes be a challenge and. Don’t want to ruin a great loco. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We tested it on one of our Deltics. 24 minutes ago, stationroad said: looking great! will the snowploughs be included in the bag for every model or just some of them?

RMweb Gold 97406 Posted May 18, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 18, 2022 One observation on the Banger Blue one is that it would be nice if the window grommets were picked out in black.
