Just check the scale you ordered,the 1/1 crews turn up eat you out of house and home and it gets tight on the sofa if the TV is good. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium melmerby Posted June 28, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 28, 2023 My crew has arrived and I think, at a normal viewing distance, they look OK. They're now waiting for the shed foreman to find them a Manor to crew.😄 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Accurascale Posted June 28, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 28, 2023 (edited) With the Accurascale Manor just around the corner, we couldn't help but share these images of production sample '7801 Anthony Manor'! We're particularly proud of the finer detail on the running plate, inside the cab and the matt paint around the Smokebox.

BroadLeaves Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 @Accurascale FranLooks very nice indeed! Agree with the other comments - the matt paint is rather good. Two (not terribly serious) questions regarding the content on the web site: The project status still says expected Q2 2023, or "this coming Friday" as it's more commonly known at the moment. Should we assume that's just a tad optimistic? If so, when's the date when we'll actually have these in boxes on our doorsteps? What does the "directional lighting" in the Lighting & DCC section of the product pages refer to? I'm now imagining some sort of Flying Scotsman USA Tour lamp, or even a Hornby Harry Potter style LED on the front. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Accurascale Fran Posted June 28, 2023 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted June 28, 2023 (edited) Hi @BroadLeaves, Many thanks for that. In answer to your question; yes, Q2 as in 2 days away is optimistic, but the wait is not too much longer than that. We will have a firm date by the end of this week when they take to the air. There is no directional lighting, just firebox flicker. Cheers! Fran Edited June 28, 2023 by Accurascale Fran 1 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Hilux5972 Posted June 28, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 28, 2023 That matte smoke box finish against the shiny boiler looks amazing and such a feature of many GWR locos. Fantastic 4 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
