RMweb Gold 97406 Posted January 27, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 27, 2023 I have 2 of the first batch and really don’t need any more as I will be availing mesen of many of the other forthcoming Accurascale releases instead. Nevertheless I’m delighted that more folks will get another bite of the cherry, so to speak. 4 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold NoggintheNog Posted January 27, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 27, 2023 I missed out on these first time around, but have just ordered Ballymoss with sound. For about £100 less than the best-priced non-sound green one on ebay. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really PayPal credit and clearpay are for in stock items, as both will take your money right away. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently at three! Looks like 55022 now carries a NRN "blob" on the roof centreline - painted grey ;) Also it now has 4 works plates - under all cab side windows, whereas the colour chart shows a large silver plate under the driver's cab side window. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NRN was decommissioned a few years back. Obviously a chance that further livery embelishments (like shedplates) might be added once she is fully up and running (currently one test run and one railtour). Also worth noting I think that the size of the yellow panel in the 1990s vs today may be slightly different. - 1990s pictures showed quite a 'thick' dark green line between the yellow and the light green. In the recent iteration it is much thinner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted January 27, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) Son hasn't, as previously forecast, ordered one on the strength of the better salary that comes with his new job.

60800 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Trigger pulled on sound fitted D9000. Now the dilemma is do I keep blue 55022? Hmm Cheers, 60800 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I've fallen into that trap too. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

D9016 in purple is very very tempting as well! Hi @virginhst539, Gareth has done some checking and concludes the following! Quote Regarding VXC era D9000 vs LSL era D9000, there are loads of differences between the two, including but not limited to: Yellow warning panels are quite different Position of crest above the nameplate is different VXC era D9000 has rededication plate above the number on driver's cabsides instead of worksplates (and they are green on LSL) VXC era D9000 has Haymarket shedplates - there are none in LSL era Kickplates are different between eras Some minor other lettering and orange cantrail stripe differences As has been pointed out, LSL era has the GPS antenna on the roof HTH Cheers!

I’ve searched up on Flickr D9000/9002/9009 and all 3 of the “preservation era” mainline green deltics all had slightly different yellow panels regarding the green at the bottom of the panel.

60800 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 All the mods bar the kickplates and yellow panel seem easy enough to do. I can't wait for mine to arrive. Cheers, 60800 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium polybear Posted January 27, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 27, 2023 7 hours ago, Legend said: Yes I think , once again, you have to be congratulated here . I can't remember when you first announced the last Deltic , but its a good few years ago , and in that time the price has risen £9 (for DC). Quite an achievement . I know you may have recovered your tooling costs in the first run , but that wouldn't have stopped the big boys from slapping on double digit % increases ! I'll second that - I pondered hitting the "Buy" button for far too long when the first batch was launched and ended up missing out, but now I'm glad I did because I've just ordered 9018 (it had to be a Green Livery with yellow panels for me) which has the upgrades/improvements over the first batch.

Krieghoff Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) Not missed out this time Black watch and Porterbrook Purple both in DCC sound ordered and paid for.

Fran Fran, I'm sorry but, you simply don't fool Me, I've got you sussed, friend! 😁 Your post is clearly not about the Deltic, but the teaser that's right there in the background, that being the super sizzling high spec Pullman car that you have cleverly sneaked into the shot? I wonder what your tag line might be for these? "Accurascale Quality is remembered, Long after other, inferior brands are forgotten" Kindest Regards, Shed.

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. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
