Just put the word “ sustainable “ in any BS you peddle and that does it these days I thought the low point of names was “ victim support “ on a 47. A long way from “ invincible “ ! Anyway, sorry, I digress. Back to the mighty 50s. Which had proper names. Could just imagine the do-gooders and politically correct...... Dreadnought - too over powering Superb - too elietist everyone is good at something Temeraire - oh, that's way too assertive...... Only another 47 to go...... Imagine 50013 at London Waterloo, with a Eurostar rolling in from France........ 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Rich_F Posted October 25, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 25, 2023 (edited) Have pre-ordered 50149. Personally I think the Railfreight livery really suited the 50s! 🤪 If they'd kept the slow speed control & rheostatic braking during the rebuilds I wonder if they'd have been more of a freight success?!

RMweb Gold Popular Post Accurascale Fran Posted November 23, 2023 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted November 23, 2023 Class 50 Update November 2023 - First Decorated Samples Arrive Hi everyone, It's been all go here at Accurascale Towers, with the final batch of Class 37s, 21 ton mineral wagons and Manors arriving into stock, the first batch of Class 31s in production along with other goodies too and of course, Warley this weekend! But what about our Warley announcement from last year, the Class 50? Well, it's long overdue an update, and we are delighted to announce that the first of our decorated samples have arrived ahead of the show this weekend, and how fine they look too! As ever, usual caveats about fit, finish and paint application on the pre-production samples applies, but gives you a good impression on what to expect! More pics and full update has just gone live on our blog: https://www.accurascale.com/blogs/news/class-50-update-november-2023-first-decorated-samples-arrive Cheers!

RMweb Gold 97406 Posted November 24, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 24, 2023 I presume the boys have picked up on the marker lights in the headcode box needing to be opaque rather than clear. I recall a similar issue with the pre prod Scottish 37s too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if any of these are being done in the first batch by accurascale 😃 presumably you mean mainline, heres a quick guide. (There maybe corrections but this is relatively close)… 50007 in plain blue (from 2012) 50017 in original NSE (from 2012) 50008 in Engineers blue 50026 in large logo *dragged only 50031 in largelogo blue* on the mainline, Intercity (from 2016) * dragged only since. 50035 (50135) in Load Haul (until 2015), Blue ( from 2015)*dragged only 50044 in two tone green, plain blue 50049 in large logo 50050 in plain blue (from 2015) others not on the mainline seen running… 50015 in large logo (ELR) - dont know how this got to the svr gala. 50019 in large logo (MNR) 50027 in Revised NSE (MHR) 50021 is unclear, it was at Polmadie openday, and the GWR, and then Tyseley in storage, it since moved to Eastleigh.. so it was about but very low key in your time period, but it wasnt active on the mainline, if it moved it was dragged. The ultimate event however happened in 2017 and 2018… 2017 was the Old Oak Common finale… and saw a line up of 50007/17/26/44/49 and 50 2018 was the Severn Valley Class 50s at 50 event featuring 50007/8/15/17/26/31/33/35/44/49/50 As for models in that time period.. 50021 is correct 50017 is almost correct (change the warning flashes on the model).

The Black Hat Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 I bet Warley has a familiar ring to it: Are you doing them in GBRf? When are you releaseing them in GBRf? Can you do 50014 in GBRf? Will they come as a pair in GBRf? Why aren't they already here in GBRf? 1 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Fair Oak Junction Posted November 24, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 24, 2023 I think I'm in the minority in that I don't like the modern liveries some 50s have been given. Give me their old liveries any day. Cannot wait to see the decorated sample of the NSE livery 👌 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasnt a fan of two tone green and load haul, but intercity definitely wore nice. An RES 50 would be nice as it was considered. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, as a fan of the 50s I couldn't be happier that there are ones still running around on the mainline! 👍 My dislike of most modern liveries is more a general thing, and certainly a very minor issue in the grand scheme of things 😉 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would definitely have one if it were released as a special, but I haven't seen any interest in it. Best heritage livery created in my view 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
