I’d be surprised if even 1 sneaks in!!!! Cash lined up for 25s 31s and 37s…. Although our Western fleet does keep growing …. But nowhere near that full fleet yet. Oil sloshers rule!!! Although we do have to run some other stuff occasionally…. My next loco purchase from our friends at Accurascale will be 57xx ….

Can this be switched on/off via dip switch settings on the DC only versions? Al. Hi Al, Yes, the 50 has an operational fan, just like our forthcoming Class 31. It will be able to be switched on or off via the dip switches on DC. Cheers! Fran 6 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirwilliamfrs Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Just an observation which may or may not be correct. On the decorated samples photos from Rails Of Sheffield's website and looking back at the previous photos on this forum, are the orange cab front jumper connectors a little too large or prominent? I understand that these are pre-production samples but thought I'd see if anyone agreed. SWFRS Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium 3rd Rail Exile Posted April 1 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 1 56 minutes ago, Melton Works said: Who would like to see an Accurascale Hoover in revised NSE livery? Most definitely! I'm sure it will be announced in due course, but it's actually very kind of Accurascale not to announce all the different liveries I want all at once - I couldn't afford it! Patience is a virtue (yes, even in this "I want it now" world we seem to inhabit these days!) 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
