RMweb Gold StuAllen Posted February 24, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 24, 2023 (edited) There I was reading through the pages of comments on the Class 66 announcement, and the Key Model World announcement for Calder Hall popped up on Facebook. I couldn’t resist, an Accurascale Class 31 now ordered. The only question is when is a Network Rail version going to be released?

RMweb Premium brushman47544 Posted February 24, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 24, 2023 Looking at the photos of the loco being modelled 31276 and 31130, I noticed the different position of the headlight. I wonder how many different positions there were - modelling BR blue mostly pre-headlight does make my choices for renumbering so much easier. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium E100 Posted February 24, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 24, 2023 I saw that at the bottom of the HM stand at Glasgow and was like I'm sure that's a new announcement. Since I'm not in the market didn't bother to ask but didn't think it odd it wasn't more prominent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GD Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 It's refreshing that this limited edition is the same price as the main range and not an opportunity to slap an extra £50 on top. 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You see. To me this epitomises Accurascale. Most of their locos seem to be a similar price which make it simpler and more attractive to the buyers, but also presumably to the company. 4 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Roy Langridge Posted February 25, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 25, 2023 On 22/02/2023 at 10:31, McC said: The run is completely sold out on preorder now, for direct and trader allocations but our retail partners may still have small levels of stock to sell still. Is there any chance that we get some warning that that point is being reached? It seems we can know the amount left for in-stock items (when limited) but not for pre-orders. I’ve registered for notification for 31402 now after I was going to purchase it in January, but spent the available budget on some Mark 2s with a view to ordering it when I got paid this month. Wish I had waited on the Mark 2s now and gone the other way around! I am not a big fan of owing money so tend to pay when I order, especially given delivery dates can be quite variable and I don’t want a big-hit at once!

Roy The 31 was a bit unusual, as sales were extremely strong, but the demand from trade was such that we essentially oversold the planned production run. More runs will be announced, but at the moment we're playing it safe. 3 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Accurascale Fran Posted March 9, 2023 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted March 9, 2023 Hi everyone, Indeed it is the latest commission with Rails of Sheffield. Having had the Lima version of this as a lad I was shouting loud at Gareth to do it. I'm not sure he's so enamoured with the livery as I am but his artwork has really knocked it out of the park. Cheers! Fran 12 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Gremlin99 Posted March 9, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 9, 2023 Yes!!!
