Michael Hodgson Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 The new run won't include the earliest livery (green Deltic without any yellow on the front), which allows my wallet another chance to breathe. But no doubt there will be another completely new product announcement along shortly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Legend Posted January 27, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) Great interview . Thanks very much ! I'm not sure I view these guys as rockstars because they are very approachable , but they certainly have star quality . I've said it before but will say it again , they are a breath of fresh air in the industry . They do deliver value for money , as demonstrated by the very moderate increase in the price of the Deltic. Thank goodness for Accurascale shaking things up . Looking forward to the announcements at Model Rail Scotland and Ally Pally (which I get the feeling is the more significant announcement). Here's to the next 5 !

There's an awful, awful lot that several people in businesses could learn about many aspects from the interview; it's very unlikely that they will be savvy enough to do so though. 7 1 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, Andy, I couldn't agree more and what you say is simply spot on! I had cause to contact Accurascale due to a minor issue with something and I kid you not, it was like dealing with any good pal, they were there for me as if I'd just contacted a mate late at night and out of office hours. I was expecting them to pick up the contact when they were back in the office but nope, they had resolved my issue within minutes! Try that with any of the other manufacturers? It's not just the models that impress Me, it's the whole package of comms and interaction that stand out as exceptional, not just different or better but MUCH different and MUCH better! Here's to the next five years, Well Done! Kindest Regards, Shed. 5 5 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Dunsignalling Posted January 27, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) I kinda like it, certainly worked better on the 55 than the 57... (No photos of that 'cos it always came through in the dead of night). John Perhaps more to your taste, gentlemen?

RMweb Gold JamFjord Posted February 5, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 5, 2023 (edited) I'm a bit late to the party (as per usual) but I just wanted to chip in and thank both Fran and Paul for giving up the time to do these interviews - they are by quite a margin the most entertaining and insightful interviews I've watched for while. Cheers both and to Andy for asking some decent questions. Edited February 5, 2023 by JamFjord 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you know from our interactions on RMWeb we do like to chat and be open and engage and it's nice to share what happens what goes on where we can and how we go about things. Andy is a very good interviewer which also makes it much easier for us. Cheers! Fan 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold JamFjord Posted February 7, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 7, 2023 No worries, Fran, credit where it's due. Keep doing the interviews if you get time, I can't imagine anyone finding that stuff boring. The open communication we get from yourself and certain others who stand out within the industry is appreciated and builds trust, I think. And yeah, Andy is an excellent interviewer - I'm not sure people appreciate the work that goes into developing that skill. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
