atom3624 Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 I thought these were potentially going to overtake the Class 66 delivery, some people reminding that they won't necessarily be using the same factory for everything? !! For me, it's not a problem, honest guv!! It's looking like it'll be yet another Accurascale masterpiece!! Al. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chilly Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 (edited) Can't put my finger on why but I think this is my favourite loco of all time and the model above is also going to the top of my particular chart 🙂 Edited May 3 by Chilly Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Metr0Land Posted May 3 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 3 I have plain green one on order, my wallet's hoping they don't do plain green skinhead too soon but given they're working on class 30 sound I suspect that may be in next tranche Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Accurascale Fran Posted May 3 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 3 Hi folks, I know I said we would have an update on the 31s this week, but the factories have been off due to a festival and will be back next week. We just need to confirm some further details and we will post the full update then. Cheers! Fran 4 3 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

By contrast, as an "LM man" I started to hate the 31s after the first three were reallocated to the LM region to start the eradication of class 25. IIRC those were 31139 31149 and 31152. However, I did need a blue 70s 31 si D5544 will be my token "Mirrlees" on my trainset. I admit the model really does capture the very complex features of the Brush type twos. Maybe they will be delivered in the next 12 weeks or so. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrakeCoach Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 (edited) Seems like it is arriving! My model (in the screenshot) is in Batch 2 if I remember correctly. Edited May 9 by BrakeCoach 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold BR Blue Posted May 9 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 9 It must be batch 1. Batch 2 is later. No point in batches if they all arrive together. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold StuAllen Posted May 9 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 9 On the project status page it show as 3, 1 has been moved to in-transit , 2 remain in production https://www.accurascale.com/pages/projects, think what’s more interesting is the 66’s have estimated date of 20th May 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LNERandBR Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 They said one was incoming. I presume news keeps changing tho so they are holding off until they have the most correct info. No good saying something only to find it's out of date as soon as it's posted. 🙂 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodenhead Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 When I hovered over the image, a rather apt message popped up, it is a rather fetching model isn't it. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose the worst thing Hornby did was stay still in terms of product improvement . they probably didn't see any need to do so . That however was before Accurascale came along . To say that Accurascale have upset the model railway establishment's apple cart is somewhat an understatement . 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
