Porcy Mane Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 (edited) Unrecognised knock on the door a few hours ago. Smiling man from DHL hands me a box with "loaded at Birmingham fulfillment centre" printed on the label. Bit of an unexpected surprise when I opened the box (No Micheal Miles too be seen). Shortly to be converted back to Darlington Development Unit condition. Nice that these early HAA's have been modelled with solid braked wheels as opposed to wheels with the detachable friction surfaces. Internal rivet detail inside the body is smashing and nice touch with the speed rating square still visible under the freshly painted HAA patch. Thanks to the boys from the Emerald Isle. Now where's me Guinness frother. P.s. The coupling stretcher springs are perfect for another project I have in mind. If I'd only known... could have saved me an age trawling the interweb manufacturers. Edited July 18, 2022 by Porcy Mane Add more magumba. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

d46037 Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 (edited) In light of Fran’s announcement ,I thought it about time to order some accurascale HAA’s to replace my ancient Hornby rake ,so in went an order for four original livery packs plus two rail freight packs on Tuesday 19th July. They were dispatched yesterday and arrived this morning about 1030 via DHL. The wagons look to be the business,just need a few more to make up a full rake. Whether I wait for the next run of accurascale mgr’s or get some HDA’s or have a look at the cavalex ones to make up the numbers I don’t know yet.

RMweb Gold Accurascale Fran Posted August 25, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 25, 2022 (edited) Hi everyone, Great news! The final pieces of our MGR wagon project, the HBAs, the HDAs and the HMA hopper wagons are complete and due to leave our factory in the coming days. They will arrive in stock in mid-October. Our MHA ballast wagons are now in production and due in November. Of course, if you rather not wait we do have limited amounts of some of the original HAA and HCA packs left in stock, so make sure you grab them while you can! Our MGR wagons have received widespread acclaim since they first landed a couple of months ago, and it's easy to see why. Unrivalled finesse, beautifully manufactured and finished, razor sharp printing with TOPS panel detail differences based on photographs of each wagon modelled to name but a few. All this while offering exceptional value of just £74.95 per three wagons along with 10% off when you buy two packs or more and free postage and packaging throughout the UK and Ireland! Pre-order the next chapter in our "Powering Britain" series while stocks last. https://www.accurascale.com/collections/merry-go-round-mgr? Cheers! Fran (please note that the models in the pics are original pre-production samples. We will have a suite of pics for the factory finished models in the coming weeks!)

WCML100 Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 (edited) VERY excited for my MHA's to arrive (x3 packs!) - although upset I have to wait until November, Im sure they will be worth the wait! My first order of rolling stock from Accurascale and I am sure they won't disappoint! Edited August 26, 2022 by WCML100 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
