LNERandBR Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 To my eyes, it looks like Accurascale have targeted holes left by Hornby for their first run of models. Surely that makes sense as it increases the likelyhood of people choosing to purchase an Accurascale model even if they already have Hornby's model. Secure some income on the investment in the tooling in run 1. Then increase the range into more duplicates in run 2 allowing those who purchased models in run 1 to have the finances available for another one. 2 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Tang ban", thank you Fran. (I know it was McC answered but that doesn't rhyme). I assume this is the Mini Thrash speaker? Acknowledging that it's dangerous to assume anything on this thread at the moment. And thanks again for answering trivial questions at what must be a very busy time.

RMweb Gold McC Posted February 25, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 25, 2022 (edited) Correct, the 'mini thrash' is on the left, and the 'mega thrash' on the right (you can just make out the 'accurathrash' branding on the sound chamber enclosure (not sanctioned brand names! ) Both work together with the sound project to deliver the relevant frequencies Edited February 25, 2022 by McC 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, but i think the main competition for the accurascale 31 is actually the Hornby railroad 31. The full fat Hornby is likely dead in the water. At a touch under £70 more expensive and with lesser specifications you really would have to like gsyp to buy one. 'infrastructure' and 'rtc' are two 31's missing from the announcement. I would almost bet my house that a retailer commissions one or both of these. Im quite sure gsyp will appear, just like tpe appeared on the Hornby Hitachi's. Funny to see a forum mirror life - patience and understanding seems to have long since vanished. All about me me me now 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LNERandBR Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 All depends on if you purchased a Hornby version previously and if you are wanting a direct duplicate of that model. I just think it makes more business sense to target the widest possible customer base with your intial run. If anything, Accurascale are spoiling us here with the wide range of livery options they have chosen. Previously, you'd be lucky to get a few green versions and a blue one in a first announcement. You would have to wait a few years for a ru of later liveries if those required a retool. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hornby's 97204 (IIRC) is still in stock with Kernow, I expect that needs to sell out before anyone goes near it again realistically? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good picture here of D5803 in Feb 1969 at Donny with a 'D' visible: (photo from Flickr, click on image for live link). The 1973 photos I posted above (again from Flickr) have a faint 'D' on 5803 hauling the Worcester-Padd train and a visible but very 'scrubbed' looking 'D' on the OOC image the same year. cheers, Keith 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
