Covkid Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 So the first Accurascale steam loco design the Manor is here in the UK and being delivered to the customers. The second steam loco the "Buckjumper" is in development, possibly even tooling, which clears the decks for the next beauty. Is the announcement just around the corner ? Will Accuracale be bold and choose a prototype with lots of bling and names and stuff, or will it be British Railway black with early and late crests, and thats yer lot ? My preference would be the latter with the LMS class 3 2-6-2 tanks from Fowler and Stanier, but are they too mundane and samey ? 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIRCLASS80 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Hopefully some one of the 2-6-4 tanks by the LMS with a chassis that can also be used for a NCC WT Jeep. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil gollin Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 . DEPENDING on prototype difference and mould considerations, I would have thought that the Maunsell N-class would be suitable as the Irish Great Southern Railways Classes 372 and 393 were variations - that would seem to be a "win-win" situation for SECR/Southern railway AND Irish railway fans. I would prefer a LBSC K-class 2-6-0, but there were many more N-class, and the Irish connection MIGHT sway Accurascale/Murphy models. . 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom3624 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Got to be a Stanier Jubilee, in all it's variations. Bachmann have produced very acceptable but limited variations - many preferred remain in the old tooling, if wanting to replicate preserved locomotives.

So that suggests there might be a market for at least two - so alas not exactly a commercial proposition. On the other hand I am also a direct descendant of a GWR employee whose service dated back to broad gauge days so I also have considerable (well known I suspect) sympathies in that direction. And a top notch 'Saint' would undoubtedly sell far, far, better than an NER pacoiic. Edited August 11, 2023 by The Stationmaster 7 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely agree that these would be superb, and very useful. However, for the real 'cute' factor I will sacrifice these on the altar of the GER/LNER/BR E4 2.4.0. It will look so good alongside the already ordered J67-9, and there is an example to scan, and it can be finished in blue, which as anyone who has worked at Hornby knows, is guaranteed to triple sales!!!

The one with the Gresley boiler would require another body tool, which, we are led to believe, is the expensive part of tooling. I doubt that it would be viable for a one off. The pic (thank you for posting it) shows it with outside bearings for the trailing wheels. They were originally constructed with inside bearings but these were soon changed because of heat from the fire. However, from a modelling point of view, I dare say the inside bearings would sidestep the vexed question of unflanged trailing wheels. 🤔 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold MikeParkin65 Posted August 11, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 11, 2023 A Hawksworth County would go very nicely with the Manor. Failing that an LMS Stanier 460 chassis allows a lot of options even if all all have been made RTR already - the standard of the Manor would mean the market is open for new iterations :) 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you be more Pacific 🤣 The P2 has just been done, as has the APT-P, would a P1 do? Or are you simply being polite and saying please for some Paneer.
