atom3624 Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Not models, but spare parts availability. Dapol do it with their locomotives. A/S locomotives are if anything far more detailed - I have 'Deltic debris' all over my layout - corner steps, wheel scrapers / whatever they are - I've had to collect. Models are superb, but in general and regular use, there will always be some collateral damage, which requires repairs. Just a thought. Al. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Covkid Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Has anyone else watched the Accurascale 5th anniversary webchat between Fran and Andy Y ? Perhaps I was reading a little too much into the fleeting mention of possible more electric locos in the future. My favourite "roarer" was the class 82, but 83s were also somewhat hellfire. With class 82 you can even getaway with the Intercity liveried 82008 in it's last years of service. Just saying 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Covkid Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 That video has also mentioned new Accurascale announcements at the Glasgow and Ally Pally shows. So steam, diesel, electric, coaching stock and wagons - a whole panoply of stuff to consider. Building Britain range needs LNWR Cauliflower, Midland 2F, LMS !Austin 7 and 8F. Vintage scene needs LNWR 2-4-2 radial, Midland "flatiron" 0-6-4, and LMS 2-6-2ts from Fowler and Stanier, as well as maybe a Precursor or 19 inch goods and the SR "K" class 2-6-0 and the GWR "Aberdare" Vintage stock has to have LMS motor Train stock, maybe a few Midland clerestorys and GW/BR(W) non corridors. "Modern image" aka the diesel and electric years class 81 82 and 83 AC locos and maybe the EDL class 74. Wagons are unlimited 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryLamb2 Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Certainly the class '40'. But, firstly, look at the Kernow Bullied SR/BR 1Co Co1 bogies and compare that with the hapless Bachman offering of the same design! Kernow got it right but Bachmann's cosmetic outer frames are still the same old crap! I have several Bachmann class EE Types 1, 3, and 4 and they run superbly to suit my wider 4mm. gauge but I must admit the type 4's just don't do the visuial business any longer due to the awfull cosmetic bogie side frame mouldings!

Wickham Green too Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 A.N.Other manufacturer is looking interested in the class 40 - so I think Accurascale would be wise to give that a miss until we see how that project pans out ............... unless it's one of their well-developed pending announcements, of course.

Great idea. Any coal wagons are winners, especially in transition era. Could you get away with the odd Felix Pole among the 21 tonners behind a green 37 ?

I am afraid that there are only three manufacturers I would trust to produce a decent scale class 40, and one of those is Bachmann in a "class 47 or class 37" style revamp. Favourite would be Accurascale. Whether others feel the same I have no idea but an Accurascale class 40 or two would certainly be very much received. 1 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Accurascale Fran Posted February 10, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 10, 2023 Hi everyone, As you probably have seen we will be announcing our next OO locomotive at Model Rail Scotland, so who knows what it could be (well I do, but you know what I mean!) Could it be steam? Diesel? Electric? Well I will give you all a clue; it's certainly not a gas turbine! Cheers! Fran 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
