Following on from my car mileage coincidentally predicting the arrival of ‘Deltic’ Gordon Highlander last Summer, today I think my Mystic Meg car is trying to tell me something about the next Accurascale Exclusive..!

The mileage on my car is more akin to a voyager!

Plenty Hattons ones around,its different ones that they need to do,not ones that have been covered by the run they did.

 

I agree, there's quite a few celebs that haven't been done by Hattons/Bachmann

I wonder if Accurascale would consider doing a twin pack of 66718 (as it was before this recent repaint) & 66721 (as is) in a fancy box? 

This will all depend if they can get the licencing from London Transport Museum. But yeah it be a great idea.

Can I have a pn

Can I have a pink ONE please

I  have a pink one and an orange one to boot. My 2 favs. TBH. Even better was the fact that nobody seemed to want them so I got them at a decent price. My only regret is that I did not buy more of them.

I really wanted 66623 but the orange just wasn’t a good enough match for me. Even ones that I’d seen that had been weathered didn’t help it either. Just waiting for an orange Freightliner to be announced soon 😉

I had heard that was the case. As I live outside the UK I am probably not as concerned with the color not being a proper match. However, if I had to see them everyday in RL I would be agitated at the colours not measuring up to the real thing.

The pink ONE livery was the reason I bought the Hattons model in the first place, however there were the quality control issues - removing and replacing the shell for example and it has to go back.

I guess either Accurascale haven't negotiated the licence from Freightliner yet or they are holding back these liveries for batch 2 - that's okay as I need some time to save up.

Or, given it was done by Hattons, they feel there is insufficient demand for a one-off livery?

If they are taking over tooling, they are going to get artwork as well, so assuming Hattons' designs don't need any money spent attending to them, it's just a question as to whether they think they can sell 504 Pink ONEs before Bachmann does. Hornby is not in this game.
