The Evil Bus Driver Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 Mine arrived today and what a work of art it is too! Theres a little pack of brake rigging and pipes, possibly 3 link couplings (Fran?) A leaflet with info on the prototype and an exploded diagram. There are sprung buffers on it as well! You even get an Accurascale sticker so that's going to adorn my toolbox soon. Well done to everyone at Accurascale Towers, another fantastic model! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SulzerPeak Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 I got mine yesterday, really pleased with it. Lovely box, accessory pack and info. The underfloor detail is exquisite, top job guys🙂 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A leaflet with info on the prototype and an exploded diagram. A cracking model, the underframe detail is incredible. Not sure the tension lock couplings are warranted to be spring operated unless its for 1st radi curves ? One of my order was missing the info sheet and detail pack, but I'll deal with that. When I did see the info-sheet and detailing pack there's no actual description of why there's a second set or brake-rigging. I'm assuming for EM or P4 use. There are brake hoses in the detailing pack, but no guidance on where they go (Flickr will provide the answers) . No holes on the buffer beam for brake pipes, albeit there are some tiny ones facing down on the underside of the coupling mechanism. Overall 9/10. Better info-pack would have taken it to 10/10. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The top box of my order only contained the model! I can only opine that perhaps loading the extras got missed. 🙄 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going2theDogs Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Hi All, I have received my Accurascale MDV 21 ton departmental wagon & very impressed with the finish. it is an ideal starting point for some subtle weathering too. Limited to just 500 models so if you would like one of these I suggest you move fast as these won’t be around for long! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Sweet pea Posted October 23, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 23, 2023 Received my Accurascale ZDV 21T wagon this afternoon.

We'll done Accurascale.👍 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium cessna152towser Posted October 25, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted October 25, 2023 (edited) My LDV arrived early Monday morning along with an MDW triple pack in a separate box. Very pleased with these Accurascale products but the DHL driver had dumped the boxes beside my rubbish bin, which in the meantime before I had seen the notification of delivery e-mail, had been taken by the bin man and emptied into his truck and the two parcels were also gone. Enquiries with neighbours had drawn a blank. Fortunately I discovered late Tuesday afternoon that the refuse collector had suspected that these two boxes might not have been intended for destruction and had kept them aside. So I have been able to retrieve my wagons undamaged. No thanks to DHL for their disgusting lack of care in the delivery.

meatloaf Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Mine arrived on monday and im very pleased with it. I find with DHL to totally ignore the estimated delivery window as its never accurate. This time should have been 16.10 - 17.10. Actually arrived before dinner.

That is not a good tale of DHL service, so I am pleased to report mine was the opposite. I was actually abroad when my first delivery texts came through, the message saying they needed someone to receive the parcel. As there was no-one, and my neighbours weren't in, the parcel went back to DHL. Fortunately, the delivery slot was later yesterday, and we arrived home about two hours before thew delivery. The DHL delivery guy insisted on handing it over, and I was pleased. The cardboard box had a bumps but their "airbag" inside made sure the Accurascale boxes (I ordered two) were pristine. 10/10 to both DHL and Accurascale. Next parcel hopefully is blue Brush type 2 5544 - probably next year 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
97403_Ixion Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Hi, I didn't notice one of those 'Badges' stickers either in the packaging or in the wagon box itself... not a big deal though (just a nicety). However, should there have been a Certificate (i.e. per the website description, below)? Common features: Pack of one wagon. Special packaging and certificate Thanks, Ixion.
