I am neither a railway modeller nor particularly a railway enthusiast, although I will go a long way to see a steam locomotive in the flesh.
But when I stumbled upon a YouTube video of an Accurascale Manor I simply had to have one. It was the sheer die cast quality - none of your plastic tat - the detail, the beauty of the paint schemes.
So now I am the very pleased owner of ‘Fringford Manor’, which will live on my desk on a piece of Hornby-Dublo three-rail track, and towing a Hornby-Dublo tinplate Western Region coach, both of which came my way by chance. It will probably never run since I am useless at making anything, let alone a model railway.
I know that will seem ridiculous to all you purists, but hey, it works for me!
And I’m sure Fran of Accurascale will be please to have made another well-deserved sale!
