Wickham Green too Posted September 16, 2023 Share Posted September 16, 2023 Dare I generalise that O-gaugers tend to be more senior and not given to frothing ??!? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig1989 Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Seeing as you guys have done the network rail 31 and 37 surely there must be some network rail coaches not to far off cheers Craig 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieGuyRob Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Hopefully it will be a class 40, so then they have completed the big English Electrics. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickham Green too Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 If I remember rightly, this thread is for NEW ideas ..... class 40's been suggested ad nauseum over the last 162 pages and - unless already in an advanced stage of development - is unlikely to appear from Accurascale until the market has assessed one that's already been announced elsewhere. Now, what hasn't been suggested before ? .................... SECR J class p'raps ? - lovely chunky tankie but probably not much of a market. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wainwright1 Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 Used on semi-fasts, but only five built. How about the LBSCR D1 tank. The terriers larger 0-4-2 cousin. A fair number built and they all originally had names. Go well with the six wheeled coaches from Hornby and Hattons. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that no Southern tank engine larger than a 0-4-4T or 0-6-2T (or Adams Radial) has yet been offered in r-t-r form, there's a definite gap to be filled, but something more "mainstream" is probably desirable. None were built in large numbers, but I think the one with the widest appeal/utility might be the W Class 2-6-4T, even if my personal preference would be the H16....

Far more likely to come from the manufacturers of E1s - with which they have a fair bit in common. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium E100 Posted October 10, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 10, 2023 A website suggestion rather than model idea. As you do a lot of retailer exclusives, I am finding it can be hard to keep track of them as you grow considerably larger and do more and more of them. Could the Accurascale website become the single source of truth by possibly simply linking to these on your website probably with a special retailer exclusive badge similar to how you market your own exclusives. I realise there may be cases where the link breaks but wouldn't have thought this would be too often or that difficult to keep track of but it has the potential to boost the sales of these and in turn your bottom line. An indicative example below. It could even just link you to the main retailer site to able to search for it from there. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purnu Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 How about something unique with the ability to complement existing models from other manufacturers? This example has fascinated me for many years. Maid of Morven. Granted it had a limited operational sphere in real life and as far as I’ve been able to ascertain minimal livery variations but with today’s technologies it could make for a stunning model. (Photos from Flickr) Such a shame that the real vehicle was such an early casualty of withdrawal. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's all the glass on the front end giving that ornate, art-deco look. I've often thought that about the Derby Lightweight DMUs; their cabs are unique in the genre with the large glass area, and I've often thought the single-car version done to modern standards would make a great model in both 4 and 7mm scale. 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedantic point. All the glass on "Maid of Morvern" is on the rear of the vehicle because it is designed to give the occupants an "observation".

TomScrut Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 I think I have mentioned KXAs before, however on Thursday two of them have gone to Doncaster from Carlisle (I presume across Tyne valley line and down ECML). Unsure if this has happened before but it potentially opens up geographical relevance to these beasts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
