Wickham Green too Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 (edited) I think I know what you mean about livery - though some 377s are in dark blue like the 375s and I believe there are four liveries across the 387 variants ........ but interior layout is anything but standardised between the innumerable subclasses ! 😮 ............ anyway Accurascale haven't announced ANY Electrostars .................. yet !!?!

SteamingWales Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 What! Another announcement! Must be some rolling stock? Personal preference would be GWR Sunshine coaches adding to the GWR items with both the Siphon and Manor due imminently Maybe some articulated stock for the J67 to run with? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or the Great Eastern brake van..... Or the Class 08/09/10 to current standards.. Or the GWR 48/58/14xx that not only looks great but runs great.... Or the state of the art GWR Pannier...... Champion.

RMweb Premium reddragon Posted March 28, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 28, 2023 Steam, just done, Diesel locos OK going well, coaches, lots to come already, wagons, maybe more. I reckon we are in for a MU to match their IR models. I wonder what? At least it's not being announced on Saturday, or perhaps there will be a joke announcement that day!

sulzer71 Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 I don't think the new announcement is going to be a New Loco as they tend to announce them at exhibitions , more than likely just the new batch/new variant of something they are already doing 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

norfolkchinaclay Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 (edited) Am a big fan of Accurascale but I do wish they and other manufacturers would just tell us if it’s steam or diesel, then probably at least half of us would be able to relax and go back to sleep until the next announcement is due.. 😀 Edited March 28, 2023 by norfolkchinaclay Typo 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northmoor MPD Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 My moneys on the next run of 37 liveries… Somewhere in the 37 thread it was said that once Batch 1 started it’s journey to the UK they would announce the next run. I’m usually totally wrong though! 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the news today that 73961 and 73962 have been despatched to Scotland after the catastrophe at Tulloch with 1B01 last night, perhaps there will be pairings of GBRf and CS liveried 73/9s.

RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted March 28, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 28, 2023 I’m going tame with my bet.. weve just had two big loco announcements, so maybe another livery/ number limited edition .. maybe another Manor ? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottrains29 Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 Hornby have decided to have a live q&a session at the exact same time tomorrow. Could this be to detract from the Accurascale announcement..... Perhaps we'll see another Hornby staple eg HST or 225 set. Just imagine mk3s/mk4s but done to Accurascale mk5 standard, 43s and 91s to Accurascale 92 standard, and all at a realistic price! 😀 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NXEA! Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 (edited) If there’s a countdown it must be new tooling? Unless I misremember if it’s a Limited Edition or new run of liveries it’s usually just a straight-forward announcement. Considering the E4 is parked next to the J69 at Bressingham, I daresay the esteemed Mr Isles could’ve taken his tape measure to it… some GER corridor coaches would be nice, but I can see AS going for a variant of Gresley articulated coaches. Otherwise, my money is on a full-fat high-spec retool of a Mark 1 or Mark 3. Edited March 28, 2023 by NXEA! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
