atom3624 Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 I'm trying to imagine what a A/Scale interpretation of a Peppercorn A1 (Tornado included) and A2 (Blue Peter) would be like ... but wrong thread anyway. I've always liked 'the A1A' as I've always called them since my first when perhaps 10 years old - D5572 I think. Endless fun pulling it apart and reassembling it - no idea why, I suppose simply 'because I could' !! Al. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NXEA! Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 Was going to resist buying an A/S 31 as I already have a Hornby one but seriously, seriously tempted now having seen the image of the blue one head-on, looks spot on. Hopefully I haven’t missed the boat already for a Green one. Have hinted up-thread already, but any chance we can have this as an Accurascale exclusive in run 2 please! 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean the end vestibule stock that no one has touched in RTR ? All those bread and butter TO's that are just waiting to be measured/scanned, plus BTO's. Just right for an as built Brush Type 2 to haul. 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No blue star codes (on white dots) above the buffers, use of a single letter code in the headbox, and refreshingly clean. Nice one. I got a shot of D5578 & D5579 double-heading a freight on the St.Ives loop once. Some idiot 'friend' from school then deliberately opened the back of my camera!

RMweb Gold NHY 581 Posted May 16 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 16 D5579 would be a must have, preferably with the yellow warning panel as I think it finishes things off quite nicely. Rob 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does appear to have the blue stars, but they are almost the same blue. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fredo Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Hi Fran, Looking forward to D5615 which I understand is coming soon. How were you able to get sounds for the Class 30’s which you showed last week? Thanks Fred Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewartingram Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 (edited) I don't think D5578 has yet received the stars. I saw it regularly and never saw noticed stars without the white background. Edited May 17 by stewartingram Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NXEA! Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Question for the A/S team - will the DC versions come with the Accurathrash speaker already in-situ, or if upgrading to sound later down the line do you need to buy a speaker with the chip and fit? I’ve seen videos of fitting a speaker and chip to the 37 which is a doddle but just wanted to check if it was the same set-up or not. Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they come with a basic speaker installed, but the Accuthrash is extra (at least that’s the way it worked for my Deltic) 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold zr2498 Posted May 18 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 18 And for those of us with a 30 on order, I expect the sound decoder / speaker will become available shortly afterwards? 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I resisted a split headcode 37 for a while but eventually gave in to the A/s flyers and decided on D6702, but no sound fitted ones available. So I did the DIY thing and ordered decoder speaker and clips and "self fitted" !! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will be offering a 30 upgrade pack shortly which will provide the decoder and speaker for easy self fit. 6 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NXEA! Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Preorder now in for D5549, courtesy of Rails, those pictures up-thread of the BR Blue one sold me. Really excited, will be my first Accurascale model unless the Buckjumper somehow arrives first. Can’t wait! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

derekdoestrains Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 Is there an update to when the update is likely to be… updated? I can see one batch is on route according to the tracker? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Accurascale Fran Posted May 30 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted May 30 Hi Derek, We will have a full update ahead of the DEMU show in a couple of weeks bringing everyone up to date. All I can say right now is that things are going very well on our 31s. We of course need to be mindful of competition here at the moment, which I'm sure many can apprecaite. Cheers!
