You’ll have to wait for run 2… I counted 3 minutes 87 seconds. Yes I ordered 12 car rakes in each livery! Edited April 1, 2023 by reddragon 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We promise a return to form next year. We’ll have a small announcement next week though, promise! Cheers! Fran Haha. I can’t be the only one who always takes the phrase “small announcement” literally right? My mind immediately goes towards narrow gauge, n gauge, small locos and wagons rather than a couple of extra liveries 😂 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Roy Langridge Posted April 1, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 1, 2023 (edited) Or, thinking laterally, big loco released as a very small number limited edition? Roy Edited April 1, 2023 by Roy Langridge Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian-1c Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 One possibility, now that the 66 has been announced, a 59 must be logical future step. I note that RevolutioN have already said that the 66 is the logical step from their 59. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I note that RevolutioN have already said that the 66 is the logical step from their 59. Given the recent Dapol release, I am not sure that I see the viability. It is significantly different to the 66, meaning pretty much a whole new tooling would be needed. Whilst the Dapol one is not perfect, it also undercuts typical Accurascale prices so it would not be similar to an Accurascale/Bachmann Deltic/37 going head-to-head.

Roy I disagree, I’d like an accurate 59 and the Dapol still isn’t correct in moulding or lighting, plus there is still no provision for 59001-4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the Dapol model so bad that enough people will buy a better Accurascale model even though it is more expensive? Personally I would love an accurate 59002 as delivered, but not from Accurascale as I think there are other better options for their investment.

RMweb Premium Ian J. Posted April 2, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 2, 2023 Revolution would be the better candidate for an OO 59, but they're unlikely to do one as the Dapol looks like it's doing well enough for most potential buyers. I only want one though, and that's 59001 in it's guise when it first arrived and was being tested. Dapol have yet to do that. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold TravisM Posted April 2, 2023 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted April 2, 2023 A decent OO scale model of a IKA or FKA ‘Megafret’s’ would be nice. I’m sure Accurascale could do a far better job in allowing it to go around curves without huge gaps in the bodyside. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BVMR21 Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Aren't we due a coaching stock announcement soon then for one of the pre-1948 companies currently being produced by Accurascale? Just thinking it would be good to see some more Teak stock from the GER or some different GWR stock to go with the Manors. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
