B15nac Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 On 03/07/2023 at 12:41, Accurascale Fran said: Hi Rob, Okay, will come clean on this. There was one photo we didn't share last week, and it's this one... as you can see, the tunnel on the firemans side has been painted black instead of green, despite our artworks being correct. Thankfully it's something that is really easy to correct, and the factory are already sorting it, but have asked for 10 days to complete the work. We have okay'ed this, as it would be awful to put the models out there with incorrect paint like this. An absolute pain, but we felt it was the right decision to take. So, at the last hurdle, it has tripped, but will be bang on when they land. Once this is corrected all models will be packed up and shipped by air to the UK. They are coming in two batches one week apart. Batch one includes 7800, 7801, 7802, 7808 and 7812, with the remainder following on approx one week later. July is the month of the Manor, which is the main thing. Cheers! Fran 13 working days since this update I guess they are nearly ready.

RMweb Gold Limpley Stoker Posted July 19, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 19, 2023 It looks as though Kernow’s steam railmotor is catching up, coming in Q3- but that’s been 9 years in gestation. It must be frustratinhg for those waiting for a black Manor having to wait while the fire tool tunnels are corrected on the green versions before the whole batch ships 2 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree but figure that by the time they are air frighted and Accurascale processes them , we will be in prime school holiday time . Luckily Accurascale’s customer service can defer despatch until we get home . 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming they get the boat at the end of July.... which I would suggest is tight. Either way, if the Manor gets to the UK in (say) the next month; followed by (say) the Steam Railmotor; hopefully the next one on a boat will be the Dapol Mainline & City carriages..... (Needless too say, I am looking forward to receiving all three.) That takes us nicely up to Warley and I wonder what will be announced for us 1930's GWR modellers..... Anyway, back to the A/s Manor 😎 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So i have a cookham manor coming and i cannot wait , its going to be fabolus . 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Captain Kernow Posted July 21, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 21, 2023 What an exquisite loco. Even if one doesn't 'need' one for the layout, it is certainly deserving of a top quality wall-mounted glass showcase, just for it on it's own! 5 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I model N gauge I do have a real soft spot for the Manors and still have some OO stuff so I put down to be notified when Erlestoke Manor is available. Thats how good this model looks I will buy one without being able to use it properly 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
