It’s really easy and they’ve had ages to do something that would promote the model much better than this carp. It shows a lax attitude that probably permeates everything they do. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold sjrixon Posted April 4 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 4 (edited) I chatted them at Warley. Nice bunch, I do hope they do a decent job. Accurascale and Rapido have shown there is a real interest in GWR wagons and done an amazing job. Tough act to follow! So yes, can we have some decent renderings please!

County of Yorkshire Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 I see Kernow have listed the fishbelly and 9ft American railmotor bogies as spares on their website. I think they include wheels and at £8 each seem like a bit of a bargain? 2 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted April 10 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 10 Morning all and Rob, please excuse yet another question. On your Accy Nana Vans, are your Hunts (the Extra Close for NEM) the new ones with 'Collars'? I ask as I've just received my new ones (with Collars) and these look quite different to the ones I had and struggled somewhat with on my Nanas; (didn't have a tight fit in the Van hole (ooooh er misses). Thank you. Phil 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
