Hi everyone,
Great news! We've a limited selection of our first batch of Class 92s back on sale on our website. These are in stock, ready to sell in limited numbers, including our "Accurascale Exclusive" 92 022 in special presentation packaging.
Limited stock remaining, and if our Deltic stock is anything to go by, these will sell out quickly too. With a spec list unrivalled in 00/4mm at an unbeatable price, they represent excellent value for money. Throw in free postage and packaging and rewards points then it's a no brainer.
Pre-orders are still being shipped out so these will follow closely behind.
SHOP NOW: https://www.accurascale.com/collections/british-rail-class-92/availability_in-stock?
Cheers!
Fran

i often wondered why the former, near end of life was repaired, whilst the latter at the start of its was not.
In both images, it seems the skin bought the damage, but the frame above the fuel tanks behind seems to hold strong

Comparison between a A4 Tender and P2 Tender. RCTS mentions the sizes diferences as well.
The old "make it look bigger if you give it a haircut" routine, eh?
Dimension change was to do with design of previous corridor type being carried across to non corridor tender. Aparently 2001's tender tank was manufactured by Metropolitan-Vickers at Trafford Park.
One for:
Very intersting articles on the tenders for the A4s, (something so simple as to what had which tender = really complicated!)
has some info relevant:

and (search for GROUP STANDARD 5000 GALLONS), some reference to the P2 tender numbers, type etc

Hope so.

Hello everybody,
Apart from the link below, does anybody know of a searchable index of articles in the Engineering in Miniature magazine?
http://itech.net.au/modelengineer/eim_magazine.php
Many thanks in advance!

Based on a rumour I've heard about the recent GER Society AGM where Paul Isles from Accurascale did a presentation with a picture of an E4 behind him, I think you may be right there.

Time for something for us who model railways of East Anglia hopefully; last new item was the Oxford Rail N7 0-6-2T. How about an E4, F5, J17, J19, J20, or J65- J69 to name a few.
Paul
Yes please!

Got it! It's these..... (Every possible shade of grey!)
A/S are probably trying to give the competition a discreet message, and Fran being a perfectionist got the Brasso out to polish em!
Case solved....
I don't want to come across as being too forward, but those are some very nice nuts you have there(!)

minnow meets a fish….
I think I might just ***cough*** here.
now for the whale…If we are waving our sheds around, I might reveal i’ve got more than DRS, and Colas combined. I just bought 5 this week, admittedly I feel a bit like Harry Needle… when it comes to recycling them… I like the challenge of fixing them up and passing them on…ive sold around a dozen.

I don't even model "modern" yet have more than five Class 66`s. All Bachmann. Well over 20 Class 47s of various makes. Similar number of 37s.
That's not including all the other classes that I have in double figures. Worth remembering many of us have been doing this thing for many decades and we aren't all impoverished children getting one model each year from Santa.

You guys must give your fleet engineers a headache managing engineering changes on all that lot!
Modelling modern freight trains is tricky...
Is this what they mean by "multiple units"???

@Graham_Muz @Kernow MRC
not sure if it is just me, but the web link for the fully lined sound fitted goes to the wrong version:
K2305SF GWR Steam Railmotor Dia. O Number 61 Sound Fitted (GWR Fully Lined Chocolate & Cream 1903 - 1908) £299.99 (£289.99 for pre-orders)
has this link:
https://www.kernowmodelrailcentre.com/p/79048/K2304SF-GWR-Steam-Railmotor-Diagram-R-number-85-GWR-Crimson-LakeThis is the correct link:
Lovely looking models btw! 👍
16/11/2022: This now appears to be fixed.

It should be
purplelilac. That is the proper colour of all engines*, even those Great Western ones. Always has been, always will be. Everybody knows this all of the time.*Except Great Eastern engines. Obviously.

I thought you were going to ask about Accurascale's immense workload ................ but you were just changing the subject ! 🙂
Now about that working pressure gauge...

Question: has anybody ever fitted a strain gauge on the coupling or used back emf from the motor to allow the digital decoder to measure train load? An application of this would be to vary the output from a sound fitted locomotive so that when it is under load: you get the sound to match. Just an idea...

Motion bracket is different and the cover over the smokebox door is removed. Not sure about cab plumbing. I'm away for a few days so can't take photos at present.
Thank you. Extra plumbing would be for seperate feed for the injector, I think on RHS on the back of the backhead instead of coming off the central manifold. No worries on the picture.

Spelling of offence was offending my eyeballs. Also couldn't spell made up word either! Ow Gawd!
Apologies. I do not mean to cause offence. Your comment is quite sincere, no need to remove. Just having a h-angry moment where blood sugar levels need restoring. All your advice + biscuit being put into action!
