JSpencer Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 Well, it seems like it will be a snow announcement at the SVR this weekend. Other than the manors being so close that you can almost.... touch them! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteamingWales Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 Not my video If you jump to about 14:51 you can see the A/S stand. Unfortunately not the best part of the video (bit out of focus) but they still look like the deco samples to me? 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is that the SVR Steam Gala was only 3 weeks ago.It was well attended .I know because I went myself. So perhaps to expect enthusiasts to go there again using the SVR rail access could be a big ask for people considering the attendant cost.The Engine House isn’t that easy to access by road and parking is probably difficult anyway. It is in any case the Coronation weekend and folk may have made other arrangements. 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, typically there might be refinements to application, fit and finish, and a decorated sample is not always based on the latest tooling adjustments, as the factory might use older components from the Engineering samples.

Plenty rivets to count on the models in view,looks like they are extracting them out the molds ok to have the detail mentioned far back in the tread.Looks fantastic and another benchmark model to contend for honours.We have a lot to thank you guys for,well done. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Accurascale did the 57xx Pannier, I hope they would do the LT version with the modified cabs. It would go nicely with the Rapido LT ex Met Class E 4-4-0 I've got on order.

What is odd is that they believe the brake is in the running position (which of course if it were a combined brake it would be, but its the valve with separate air and steam valves) Edited May 10, 2023 by Blandford1969 not added for clarity 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose it sticks out to me as the air valve spends so little time in that applying position during any turn with that type of valve. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteamingWales Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 14 minutes ago, McC said: No immediate plans to do so.. would there be demand? Potentially. I'm looking to do a tender switcheroo between 7800 and 7812 and then renumber 7800 to 7823 to get the right loco/tender combination for my time period I guess it's an awkward one really as do you sell underframes and tanks separately or a ready to swap full tender. I for one am happy to wait for subsequent runs for locos I'm after, though with 2x late crest locos in the first run with different tenders the task is a little easier already Is this an excuse instead to start wishlisting for batch 2?
