I don’t think they have done anything to the chains on the bogie end. Didn’t they say they were going to mount the body end of the chains to the chassis from now on? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am also hoping they manage to produce a retro-fit kit. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Accurascale Fran Posted February 7, 2023 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 7, 2023 Hi everyone, It is a tooling mod, so it cant be retrofitted to older models unfortunately. Cheers! Fran 1 1 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incidentally, and this is one for @Accurascale Fran, 20 never lost it's water filler. Sandboxes were plated over during it's last Intermediate Repair at the start of 1976 but not the water filler. A study of pictures on Chronicles of Napier shows the water filler. A good view of the boiler filler taken on Gateshead a couple of days after working it's last train. http://www.napier-chronicles.co.uk/20_1-4-78.htm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

40002 Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Actually the colour was never a problem for me the issue was those god awful Wipac light clusters, OK i know they were trying to meet the latest standards, but given we had class 37's running scheduled passenger trains until 2019 without them it would suggest they wern't really needed. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers! Fran Do you have a full list of the improvements Fran? I would suggest drop-kicking the use of yellow plastic for small parts that aren't yellow. It's inevitable paint scratches over time and with black plastic, it's less noticeable. 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PM47079 Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 A question for Accurascale. I have been in to my local model shop to order one of the new batch of deltics. They told me they couldn't order anything at the moment for me as there is a window in which you can order items which is why he couldn't order the mk2b coaches I wanted as he had missed the window for ordering. Are you able to say when they could order? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you able to say when they could order? Can you DM us the retailer as they've misunderstood the process :) Retailers can take all the orders they can, from when we launch an item, and only have to 'lock in ' THEIR orders when the order window opens for them.

WCML100 Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 (edited) Anyone else after D9009 / Alycidon in two tone Green?

RMweb Premium brushman47544 Posted February 27, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 27, 2023 Was really hoping for a late period two-tone green with SYP, with battery louvres, but it looks like I’ll have to wait even longer. Glad now that I bought a blue one from the original batch. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note that for Intercity livery, the Bachmann Swallow Mk2f RFB is incorrect for Deltic ops as it is modelled as first converted without the CDL lights.

RMweb Gold Popular Post Accurascale Fran Posted March 15, 2023 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted March 15, 2023 Hi everyone, Just a wee update on our Run 2 Deltics. Above is the CAD for D9000/55022 in her Virgin XC days as we are modelling her. Due to the different cab footstep and era, RSG received a slightly different style of high intensity headlight that our other preserved Deltics wear. So, did we just fudge it and go with the same headlight that 95% of people wouldnt notice, or do we do it properly and tool the correct style of headlight? Well, as you can guess, we have gone for the latter, tooling up the new headlight and relationship between it and the unique footstep on a new end tooling. Just an insight into the complexity when it comes to detail on these beasts! Cheers! Fran 14 1 1 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope they make it into the finished model. From talking to the team I understand the reason for their omission on the original batch is a bit unclear!

They are three bolts that hold a I shaped strengthener for the lamp bracket. The bottom of it is held by the bolts at the bottom of the bracket. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
