I have ordered a sound fitted Erlestoke Manor being the right livery/crest for my layout era and it was also one of the few Manors that spent some time shedded at Newton Abbot and Laira. As I was brought up in Exeter I will change the shed code to 83D (Laira at time) - if I can find one! The pictures of the Accurascale 7812 shows a 89A shed code. As an aside, when I was about 12, I shamelessly nicked a shed plate off a loco in Exeter St Davids shed which now adorns the beam over the door of my garage here in France. I can admit this now as I believe Brexit means that no European arrest warrants can be issued by the UK and maybe the statute of limitations has run out! So thats why they are called shed codes........... 1 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Popular Post Accurascale Fran Posted February 8, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted February 8, 2022 (edited) To The Manor Born! - Cookham Goes Home To Didcot Hi everyone, Last week we were back at Didcot for some interesting business (more on that at a later date!) We simply could not pass up the opportunity to bring our pre-production sample of Cookham Manor to meet the real thing! As many of you will know, 7808 was the locomotive we used for our scan to ensure we produce the most accurate Manor possible. So, it was great to go back and see the old girl and introduce her to the fruits of her labour. Once again a big thank you to the staff at Didcot for facilitating us once again. A great bunch of people! Enjoy the pics! And finally, on shed! We're now finalising the sound file and will have video of her in action demonstrating the sound in the coming weeks, so keep an eye out for that! Pre-order yours here: https://accurascale.co.uk/collections/gwr-7800-manor-class Cheers!

Fran You missed out the even smaller Manor on the footplate of your Decoration sample, on the footplate of the real thing! (not quite sure what scale a 1:76th model of a 1:76 model would work out as....) Pls don't do a castle. I have 6 Hornby ones that I just can't afford to replace....! But there are lovely items at Didcot, crying out for an urgent update, or indeed others modelling for the first time. Looking forward to seeing what your plans are.

County of Yorkshire Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 How about Firefly… a foray into broad gauge! More seriously, I expect it will be something from the Saint, County, Collett Sunshine coaches, or freight stock (Didcot have virtually one example of each GWR wagon diagram that survive into preservation). My leftfield guesses would be a GWR TPO, or dreadnought coaches! CoY 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoombeTown Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Given that the Deltic thread had a peak of a driver, looking very much like a Modelu CAD. And that Modelu posted on Instagram on the same day last week, I would suggest that is an Accurascale special crew for the Manor. Maybe a mini- @Accurascale Fran or @McC 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another tease !! They've done chauldrons ... so what's at Didcot that they could be researching? Oooh! .... now we're waiting for an announcement about the first RTR broad gauge stock ! Will it run on O gauge track? It's a good few years since I was there, but I've got a photo of myself standing outside the entrance to their museum building ... the sign above my head reads "Display of relics". 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This comment may result in wishlisting but I did note Didcot’s auto coach and one of their Super Saloons has had some work done over the winter according to Facebook. Just saying…. One is overdue a RTR retool, the other would be very welcome. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The demo run on Eastwood was grand and impressive. Now , I know you said you wouldn’t recommend trying to convert your Manor to EM but … wouldn’t it be luvverly ?! to misquote My fair lady .

However, the sound project is getting close to completion and we will get it demonstrated as soon as we can. Cheers! Fran 3 3 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
