RMweb Gold TravisM Posted January 28, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 28, 2023 Seriously thinking of getting 55022 but I had hoped it would have been done in BR Blue with the high intensity headlight, prior to it’s recent repaint back into two tone green.

Ray M Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Non for me this time. No pre-tops blue ones. A shame really, has they did carry those numbers half of their working life. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going2theDogs Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Hi All, I have succumbed…. Although slightly out of my modelling timeline, I have decided to invoke ‘Rule 1’. Having seem all the ‘hype’ on the first batch (& justifiably too), I was looking for a particular version that was omitted first time around. The internet crackled into life…. An email tumbled into my inbox…. A communication from Accurascale about another run of their Deltics. Would I be lucky? Oh yes, oh yes… I have ordered the sound fitted variant. ‘What model?’ I hear you ask. Royal Scots Grey. I am really looking forward to receiving this next year. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

40002 Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 23 hours ago, Accurascale Fran said: Hi @40002 Many thanks for your vote of confidence. As we say, we have taken feedback on board to make our Deltics even better than they were before. We're sure this will show the power of engagement between us and customers as I explain in the video. Cheers! Fran Indeed I can see that's the case and most welcome. Don't get me wrong its a superb looking model but the areas that are now being revised I found more than a little troublesome. As a result I have now decided to buy 004 as well as 13 and reluctantly sell one of my two Mk1 versions. It will be interesting to see whether or not the current ebay premium reduces although I suspect not given the new version is 12 months away and some versions wont be available on the second run.

CazRail Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Missed out on the first run as I had prioritised other things, but have now ordered D9000 and 9016. Both fit in my era, so two Deltics that aren't 'rule 1'! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Ncarter2 Posted January 28, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 28, 2023 I see there’s a sound fitted 16 on the bay currently. Sat at the £400 mark with time still left. If only people looked outside of eBay, could have pre ordered a new one for much less and with full warranty. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, the one on eBay was listed and bid on before Accurascale announced the second run. I bet the current winning bidder, after kicking oneself, will either retract his/her bid or simply not pay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

crompton 008 Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 I coughed up yesterday for D9000/55022 sound version as it's the one I was hoping they would do on the second run. I know they won't do it but it would be nice if they altered the station announcements on the sound decoder to fit in with the locos career at that time eg Birmingham Ramsgate etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
40002 Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 (edited) Maybe more realistic ebay prices are about to set in as a result of the second run, not good for me as I'm about to sell one, but there one for sale at £220 and that includes a non sound Accurascale DCC decoder as well cheapest I have seen . Mind its not very descriptive and you do have look at the photo's to see which version it is. Edited January 28, 2023 by 40002 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
