RMweb Gold Accurascale Fran Posted December 11, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 11, 2021 Hi everyone, We have another all new rolling stock model in OO lined up for announcement this coming Thursday as a Christmas treat… Feel free to speculate! (I mentioned it in the HAA thread but it’s probably best to discuss here so the HAA thread doesn’t wander off topic) Cheers! Fran 7 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calidore Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Having searched this topic and surprisingly drawn a blank -- I'd love to see Accurascale take on the 700 / 707 / 717 Desiro City family of EMUs. Very much in the same spirit of bang-up-to-date models like their MK5s with DVT (and even better looking!). Between them, they have now covered Cambridge-Brighton with Thameslink; Moorgate-Hertfordshire with Great Northern; Waterloo-Windsor/Weybridge with SWT/SWR; and Charing Cross-Kent with SouthEastern. Great looking ultra-modern units and great liveries. They'd fit the Accurascale stable well... 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les1952 Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 (edited) Fran did say rolling stock That to me rules out a loco or multiple unit. I would hope they are following the chauldron with an NER wooden hopper (given the number of hoppers/minerals they already do) but won't get my hopes up. Still, if they measured the Chauldrons at Beamish they could have done this beauty at the same time I suppose....

RR only do them in limited quantities it seems, and they are £75 a go which I expect puts people off (not me, I have a pair, but it took some thinking about). Having said that AS's mk2 is £60 (minus 10% if buying two or more IIRC) so probably not too different there? Given before that the biggest competition (which I expect most will be using) was Hornby 2F brakes in DRS, but at just over £30 a pop when they first came out.

I’m hoping that someone will do the Mk2F DBSO with the gangway blanked off, as per DRS or Network Rail. You could even go further back with IC, One, National Express Greater Anglia or just Greater Anglia. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would open options up for those of us with test trains, at the moment the entry point is 2 locos. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheesysmith Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 I think the next one will be either the NER 20 ton wooden hopper or a PO wooden coal wagon. For the latter, what version do they go for, as the RCH specs kept getting updated, but very few, if any, RTR wagons capture these once common wagons well. You can actually do a time line of the coal caring box wagon, chaldron, dumb buffered wooden, sprung buffers, grease axlebox, oil axlebox, single sided brakes, dual sided brakes, 16 ton minerals, 21 ton minerals, 24.5 ton minerals, ending with the box wagons built on the old HEA chassis.

RMweb Gold Dunsignalling Posted December 12, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 12, 2021 Tend to agree on the NER hopper wagon. Ideal choice is something that many buyers will want in quantity but which is not already available to a standard that many would regard as "good enough" to preclude replacing dozens they already own. That probably rules out the RCH 1923 pattern PO's and the common 16T minerals, with Bachmann having had many years to saturate those markets. The riveted pattern 16-tonners were probably not common enough to sell in big enough numbers. John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
