Hi Therein lies the issue, I would like Accurascale to introduce an N gauge range, however, there currently isn’t anything in the OO range that interests me.

RMweb Gold scottystitch Posted February 20, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 20, 2023 Would it help if we had a list of what Accurascale offer/have offered in OO gauge?: Locomotives Class 30/31 Class 37 Class 50 Class 55 Class 89 Class 92 GWR 7800 Manor Coaches BR Mark 1 Non-gangway Suburban - BS, BT, CL, S, SLO, T, TO BR Mark 2b - BFK, FK, QXA (RTC Test Vehicles), SK, TSO BR Mark 2c - BFK, BSO, FK, FO, SK, SO, TSO, TSO(T) Mark 5 - Caledonian Sleeper Mark 5a - TransPennine Express GWR Siphon G Wagons CDA China Clay Cemflo/PCV KAV/Coil A Cutdown HYA Hopper FNA-D Nuclear Carrier HOP24 HUO HYA-IIA Hopper IIA Biomass JSA Coil Carrier KUA Nuclear Carrier MDO/MDV 21 Ton Mineral HAA Hopper HBA Hopper HCA Hopper HDA Hopper HMA Hopper MHA Ballast Wagon NER 20T Hopper NER 4T Chaldron PCO17B/C PCA Cement PFA Container Flat PTA/JTA+JUA Tippler SR Banana Van Best Scott. 4 1 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The IIA's would complement Rev's Biomass wagons, the cut down HYA's are widespread. Might as well do the HYA-IIA while you're at it 😁 And for my frustrated N Gauge friends all of the Loco Hauled Coaching stock except the MK5's ( for obvious reasons).

jonas Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 If we are talking wagons rather than locos I’d suggest packs of multiple with different numbers / slight livery variations would be great - maybe even as big as 10 in a nice bookset… Of the wagons done so far the 21 ton and HUO coal wagons would get my vote. Then a 37 to pull them. Pretty please. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu from EGDL Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 (edited) Hi Gang, I think, from the Accurascale stock list, a Class 37 to a new standard with some of the previously unavailable head code variants would sit well with most modellers. Then the obvious coaching gap is the Mk2c. Wagon-wise, it is a little more difficult but the shortened IIA/HRA hoppers fill an obvious gap. For something not available in anyone’s inventory, a Class 81 and 85, then a Class 303!!

Marke Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 I suggest the Mark 2c coaches would be strong sellers, which would be of interest to many BR Blue era modellers and which have never been produced previously by any other manufacturer. I would certainly invest in a rake. I also ‘vote’ for the MDO/MDV 21t wagon, the HUO hoppers and the Syphon G. And from the list of locos, I vote for a new class 37 (but might Farish update theirs following the Bachmann’s plans for their OO model?); the class 50 ( whilst the Dapol model is relatively recent there is room for improvement) and the class 89 ( subject to whether Revolution decide to progress their proposal for an 89). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
packetlos Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 I'd vote for following to go through the shrink ray: Class 37 HYA-IIA Hopper IIA Biomass MHA Ballast Wagon 'Out there vote': Class 325 in 00 and N Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hodgson Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Producing models in another scale will tie up some of their capital and expertise which might otherwise have been invested in further OO projects, so it It could reduce the frequency of their announcements in the larger scale, but somehow I doubt our wallets can yet breathe a sigh of relief. It makes sense to confine themselves initially to rolling stock already produced in another scale as they have already done the research and produced CAD etc. So using these as a starting point will help keep down their costs and therefore end price compared to selecting some other prototypes which people may want. Once they've got a few models out in N and learnt any lessons from the process involved in scaling down - a lot more work than just fitting a different style of coupling - it may make sense for them to begin looking at other gaps in RTR coverage in the smaller scale, but then they would have to do the research from scratch which will increase costs. But if they decide to fill those gaps in N, they may later be able to scale up to OO in some cases with cost savings. So although I don't model in N, I welcome the idea.

osbornsmodels Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 perhaps whatever they have next on the drawing board and a clean sheet would be a good place to start with simultaneous releases in OO and N. Just a thought Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have paid for my manor and have my 31 on order even though I am more of a Sulzer 2 and 1 Co Co 1 bloke. 21 tonners, HUOs and Coil As in my stock boxes so far, and ordering more of these as well as a couple of Mk1 non corridors and a siphon.

RMweb Premium njee20 Posted February 21, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 21, 2023 Farish did the original IIA/HYA coal hoppers, so not convinced I’d put the energy there, although I guess the biomass ‘conversions’ may sell. The cut down HYAs would be good though. Lots of livery choices to go at too. Shamelessly I’ll mention that I do do a 3D print of them! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
