Tiny151 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 For anyone who needs their fix of vicarious unboxing, the full package! Absolutely delighted with this one. As always with Accurascale, the care and dedication to the overall product is so evident with every inclusion here, in what has to be the best box design to date. I may post some more detailed thoughts and pictures later - depends if I can turn my eyes away from those gorgeous red grilles! 8 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As reported elsewhere, production of our Class 66 run 1 is now complete and the majority are on the high seas and due with us in approx. 7 weeks time. So that should be in time for weathering before DEMU Showcase in June. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a point issue rather than driver issue,only his pride will hurt and he will no doubt get plenty leg pulling about it by his workmates. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shedmaster Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 (edited) 2 hours ago, Tiny151 said: Nothing in the booklet for this problem Guess it's time to contact support? Hi, From a photographic perspective, I think both of those pics are brilliant! The first one is really well thought out, just like the model...the second one is an excellent example of how trap points work 'in real life', so Thanks for your post. As for making fun of the Drivers misfortune, there's plenty gonna be said about this event within the industry, some of it will be a lot more unpleasant than this post. Probably best then, that only the people that matter will be involved in the official enquiry etc. My only opinion on the subject is I'm happy that the crew appear to be okay, and, this wasn't as 'full scale bad' as it could have been. Those pesky, expensive, nuisance trap points really have saved lives on this occasion, no? Back to the Accurascale 66..... Due to self inflicted personal reasons, I have had to cancel a load of, in fact ALL model railway purchases for the foreseeable future. As a result, I won't be seeing any of this batch of 66's here on my layout. I'm really looking forward instead, to seeing these on other peoples layouts, working. I'm not really interested in being told about all the perceived errors or what's wrong with it, I'm looking forward to just seeing people enjoying them. Shed.

It was posted in good faith focusing the humour on the equipment rather than any individual in what I understand to be a minor incident where everyone is safe. I understand your point though and hadn't considered that it might be viewed that way, apologies. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southernman46 Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Some years ago a good friend put a 47 in the sand drag at Swale halt on the Sheerness Branch - he was greeted by the comment "In the sand !!!"
