I’d never considered executive livery, but it looks phenomenal and now I am. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Hodgson Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 I can't justify one. I don't do the knitting. And I've already given in and got a 92.... and I don't do 3rd rail either. I liked the 89 in all the lveries they're doing it in. No, I'm still not getting one. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t always need knitting in order to have a loco with a coat hanger on the roof! 😜 Eg The Class 89 visited Worksop Open Day during 1993 … (an 89 will look good being towed to/from an open day with your 92! You know you want to!! 😁) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think my unpowered diesel tenders would quite fit the bill! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold 97406 Posted June 10, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 10, 2023 They look mint. I’ve got the Executive one on pre order and it looks great (well as great as the Badger can look, but I kinda like it anyway) as do the other liveries. In an ideal world I’d like one of every AC loco class in the fleet, so that’s class 89 well and truly represented. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Bucoops Posted June 10, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 10, 2023 (edited) I could very easily click "buy" on a Swallow liveried one (my bank may argue otherwise). But I'll stick to just the one, in GBER Blue and gold because I've always said that's my favourite post-privatisation livery. Plus I model pre-WW2 and finally I have no knitting.

RMweb Premium Phil Mc Posted June 10, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 10, 2023 My layout hasn’t got knitting….. or scenery, or track, or baseboards for that matter…. so having a sound fitted IC model on order must be a ‘rule 1’ purchase……😅😅 cheers, Phil. 1 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold 97406 Posted June 10, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 10, 2023 (edited) I have knitting as I have quite a substantial fleet of AC electrics and it just wouldn't be right to not have any. It's quite easy to do with Peco wires and their cantilevers or else, in my case a little scratchbuilding and Scale Model Scenery gantries. All run with the pans up apart from the Class 91 with its bobbins panto! Edited June 10, 2023 by 97406 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont worry, i know for a fact the 89 was an electro diesel able to run on 25kv or using its 1650bhp napier diesel engine, which was recycled from 55012 crepello i seem to remember. Im sure accura will include it in the sound file. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All run with the pans up apart from the Class 91 with its bobbins panto! I have overhead wires on my layout as well. Unfortunately they are currently on the baseboard because two cats decided it would be a good place to lie down. 😭 I used the Dapol masts with the peco wires. I used thin clear fishing line to tie the pantographs down so they run just under the wires without making contact. Nice looking layout you have there.

I’ve had a similar issue once with one of mine, but the layout is only 14” wide, so I had some acrylic covers made. They just lift off when the door is shut to prevent further incursions! They also serve as a reminder to keep the track clean. My ‘Part Deux’ thread has some details of the OHLE construction. 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold adb968008 Posted June 10, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 10, 2023 89’s look lovely. I think my only ask is the original livery (as built/ delivered), Ive only ever seen it with black buffers, though quartered looks interesting (not me).

Popular Post Accurascale Posted June 12, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 12, 2023 Blue Badger - The First Decorated Class 89 Breaks Cover Great news! We received decorated samples of our exciting new Class 89 special edition locomotive produced in association with our friends Rails of Sheffield! These samples arrived a couple of weeks ago and this morning we're revealing the first one, starting with the gorgeous GNER livery it wore in the late 1990s. Look out for a full project update tomorrow as we show you both intercity executive and swallow liveries (they are well worth seeing by the way!) In the meantime, enjoy the photos below and remember to place your pre-order with Rails of Sheffield or us (below!) soon as they have been selling fast...https://www.accurascale.com/collections/class-89 28 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
