Have you tried 247 Developments ? They do a range of steam nameplates, and can also make custom plates to order. www.247developments.co.uk HTH

Aye nice one......very likely true, but perhaps some RRP cuts also a la Class 66....

Would agree 're the head on image, the real cab is wider at the cab doors /cab side windows , looking square onto the front-end the cab side window framing is visable... Dosn't bode well for the new 00 version..... "a slim jim instead of a tubby duff" ?

Seasons Greetings John/all General release or Special edition whatever...97301 is the same RRP as general releases and if that's how Accurascale intend to market them .....then bring em on.....although production quantity may well be reduced on specials. Bachmann's so called Rep 's edition specials and L/Edition's were hiked in price unnecessarily, production costs would have been the same for both specials & general releases......their annual pricing review in Feb 2020 should prove interesting...!

Na ...... one of these or any of it's sisters....I think would have FAR bigger appeal, but I'm biased..............

Rather than stumble about in the dark ! heed the advice offered by Richard Croft and at least try wiring the sugar cube + EM1 in parallel or for a better result use one of your EM2's on it's own...job done..

Bundle price for 1 pack of inners + 1 pack of outers is/was approx £269 ?

Anyone know if the nose ends will be a separate/removable ? part on the Accurascale 37's ? TIA

Super nostalgic photos.........the Drouthy Duck is actually in Conon Bridge.... close to Dingwall.....

Appears said article post has been removed/deleted ? shame as it was some impressive modelling..............

24 081 has the gauges, rather odd they are missing on 24 009 ? perhaps alternative tanks were tooled up and the factory just used the wrong ones by mistake ? Regardless I'm confident SLW will sort it out....

37 001 is not really suitable to change to 039 or many other later 37/0's apart from it having original style glass headcode box panels it also had removable cant rail grille panels, which AFAIK were only fitted to 37001/2/3/4 ? along with the extra RSH build cantrail grille support strips. No doubt a more suitable version 37/0 to change, will be produced in the future.....

Signal Yellow was the original shade used, but it was found to fade/weather quite badly, around 1985 Warning Panel Yellow was introduced which had a warmer very slightly orange hue to replace it. A number of other shades of Yellow were also used later on when privatization commenced.

Going by the pre-pro views of the Accurascale 37...chalk and cheese comes to mind....but time will tell....

Depends if you want an English or Scottish version....I'll wait for the latter....

Thanks for confirming, with their absolute attention to detail, very unlikely SLW would have missed them. Not quite, photo of the No 2 end of the model further up, clearly show the extra brackets fitted above the tail lights as on the prototype photo are indeed missing............

Wow really looks impressive. As previously mentioned above, it's rather odd that the brackets above the tail lights have been missed, unless of course they are present on the No 2 end ? Photos of 24 009 are quite difficult to find, maybe it only had the extra brackets at one end ?

Possibly some Rep 47's next ?...............it also likely in view of recent announcements that the RRP of the 37's may be reduced a la 66's...............

Here you go HTH

Hi Mark If you plan to fit rad frost grilles, worth considering Brian's excellent EE versions, much nearer to scale than the supplied ones, as the photo shows. Regards Ken Edit: Re the Frost Grills supplied with 37 275 Stainless Pioneer - Bachmann appear to have revised the etches, the supplied grills are now much finer than earlier ones (see photo) and very similar to Shawplan EE versions. so much so I first thought he may have supplied them, but on closer inspection it appears not, as they are missing the small bolt head fixings near the diagonal bars. A nice touch being Bachmann have painted the grille surround edges in 2 tone grey so it matches the model perfectly, this will also help to line it up if used, nice one Bachmann.......

I did - it was the only photo that came up using just the No...(heaps of Blue photos) anyway I'm more familiar with it later as "Oor Wullie" the model does however have the correct absent nose handrails at the No 2 end...........

Don't know about the frost grilles....but the model is missing the HI headlights............

BR Blue 5099 and 24 009 now in stock at SLW

The OP I think is referring to the earlier MK2z coaches in ScotRail livery announced by Bachmann some time back. A few of these MK2z coaches ran with DBSO's although the majority were MK2D & E along with one MK2F FO
