Accurascale staff Popular Post Accurascale Fran Posted April 1, 2020 Accurascale staff Popular Post Share Posted April 1, 2020 New Accurascale Exclusive Announcement! The Irish Deltic! We are delighted to announce a new addition to our Class 55 Deltic range, the little known Irish Deltic! After English Electric delivered the 22 production Deltics to British Railways, CIE, the Irish transport authority, contacted English Electric with a view to converting the design to 5ft 3 gauge for evaluation purposes. English Electric duly obliged and D3333 was delivered to Dublin a year later, resplendent in the CIE black and tan livery. In honour of the class and their association with famous horses, CIE named the locomotive after the most famous horse in the land. The locomotive was duly tested on services to the west of Ireland, including the famous 'Craggy Island Express', which is faithfully replicated on our model with appropriate headcode display. Very few photos of this locomotive survive, but we are delighted to offer it in OO gauge form as part of our Accurascale exclusives range. Price for DCC sound is £333.33 and is strictly limited to 333 pieces. We would like to extend our sincere thanks to our Chinese factory for getting this sample to us, which we further cobbled together from parts. The Chinese; A great bunch of lads. Order today! 8 4 69 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BernardTPM Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 I believe this will actually be H0 scale running on EM track for the correct gauge relationship (or was that meant to be next April's big announcement? Ooops, sorry guys...) 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted April 1, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 1, 2020 Sorry to be a party pooper but there seems to be a livery error. The 'flying snail' emblem remained in use until 1964 and this loco would have been delivered before then if it immediately followed the BR deliveries. So is this the later liveried version and will you also be doing one in flying snail livery? That would be much better because it could then run alongside a CIE J15 and an A in original livery. I await the details of further liveroies you will be offering 1 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
