gary_lner Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Are there any plans for a bundle pack with 2 class 37s? I'm.sure that would go down a treat. The wagons look great. Regards Gary Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Accurascale Fran Posted November 24, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 24, 2019 8 hours ago, TangerineWizards said: Another excellent announcement. I feel much more confident pre-ordering this from Accurascale than others, given the standards they are setting. When you say this is a limited numbers, does that mean it'll be a limited edition with certificate etc? If (or when) it sells out, are we likely to see a rerun? Hi there, Many thanks for the kind words! It's a bit of a 'novelty item' so at this moment we only envisage doing this one run, and we have to gauge how many will shift. The way the sold today has been hugely positive though so maybe they might sell better than we thought! 4 hours ago, gary_lner said: Are there any plans for a bundle pack with 2 class 37s?

Regards Gary As they are due to arrive at very different times, logistically it's not feasible at this time, but we are delighted to offer two items of rolling stock to go behind our DRS Class 37s.

Jack374 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Excellent news from the Accurascale crew...another modern wagon and another wagon portraying the shady area of nuclear material transport. Having had the original Bachmann MK2A coaches and plenty of DRS stock for a while, how could I resist! A pair were duly ordered yesterday. Really enjoyed looking around the stand and talking to the lads, they really love what they do! Very professional and so it was disturbingly easy to convince myself to part with even more money. But on a serious note, very much like the fact that a small (£30) deposit is only taken at this stage, so gives me time to save up...

classy52 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 (edited) I have now purchased a set, thank you Accurascale. Could you help me with which 2 Accurascale DRS Class 37's will ideally go with these up until today's current running or within the last few of years?...you know where this going don't you Edit: What are the running numbers for each wagon?...apologies if I've missed it somewhere but can't seem to find them in the documentation.

Dungrange Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Can I ask why the Accurascale website (https://accurascale.co.uk/blogs/news/accurascale-goes-nuclear-with-kua-flash-wagon-in-oo) indicates that these will have RP25/88 profile wheels, whereas all of your other wagons seem to have the more common RP25/110 profile wheels? I understand that the RP25/88 profile is much closer to EM wheels in terms of wheel width and therefore I was expecting that these would have a larger back-to-back dimension to compensate fore the smaller flanges. I'm therefore interested in whether this is intentional or a mistake on the website. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave McAlone is a superb photographer based on the Cumbrian Coast line I believe and so well placed to record all the DRS nuclear workings along the line. Going by the monicker 'Dave McDigital' on Flickr, have a search through his photos if you want more goodness from the arguably 'glory days' of DRS when 20s/37s/57s etc used to turn up on flask duties. Richie B on Flickr is also a good source of inspiration for everything Cumbrian Coast-related. I've got the escort coaches, numerous locos and now all I need is a set of these wagons. I’ve been waiting for something meaningful to deploy my escort coach pair on and was considering scratchbuilding a KUA but Accurascale have done the hard work and just want my money...looking forward to the wagons.

Jack. It’s funny Jack when I saw the name on the cover I thought the same as you. Given the quality of Dave’s photos on Flickr I suspect this will be an impressive book. Definitely one to look out for at a future show when life gets back to normal. Good find Classy52 cheers Mark 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
