Mark 2b, By Accurascale and IRM!
BR Blue replied to Accurascale Fran's topic in Accurascale / Irish Railway Models
As far as I know they were all Mk2c. -
Trying to think of what loco had EE 3 axle bogies and 2 GWR tenders. This really sounds more like a KR models project :) They managed to merge different versions of the Fell into the one model so I am sure they are up for the challenge.
-
Exactly. I am sure Accurascale could make a great model of a 20 but the current one on the market is being updated. It is similar to people suggesting the 60, there is not too much wrong with the existing model on the market (lighting functions could be upgraded). Suggestions should be commercially viable and not just wish-listing. There are other lower hanging fruit, e.g. Class 50 and many steam engines, that make more commercial sense and are much more likely to appear.

It will be good, Mark (1) my words

I see there is an announcement video at midday today. Fran and co working on a bank holiday :)
-
I do not think the 31 ever had the blue and red scheme. The 24 and 46 did.
-
I ordered them immediately, never seen something go so quickly. They would be perfect with the RTC class 31 :)

We did get cake after lunch. A great day and an usual and unique perspective to view the railway. Many thanks to Revolution Trains for an amazing day.

BR Blue replied to Grimleygrid's topic in Cavalex
Ok you have inaccurate HAAs. The answer is obvious put them in red boxes and charge more for them.- 440 replies

This is never ever going to happen. Bachman have new tooling to a high standard, why would anyone do another one? The fact that they sold quickly makes it a certainty they will do more. Hundreds of better options.
-
They certainly did enough huts but as it is May 4th they missed a trick by not doing a Jabba one.

It is EFE only with no extra information, so maybe it is just the bus part. I would have expected the rail items to be part of the Bachmann main announcement next month. Quoting directly it says "EFE Spring Announcement".
-
Bachmann appear to be doing a separate EFE announcement. I was expecting the Bachmann Spring announcements next month and presumably that will still happen. Interesting to see they have a separate EFE one.
-
That is not a dream, it is a premonition or maybe even a prophesy The odds on someone doing an all new 50 are getting shorter and shorter.

Class 37, by Accurascale
BR Blue replied to Accurascale Fran's topic in Accurascale / Irish Railway Models
One 37/7 has already been announced for 2023: -
All models listed for sale do not have headcode boxes. I ordered 31110 and it does not have a headcode box.

Exclusive OO Gauge Class 89 produced by Accurascale
BR Blue replied to Oliver Rails's topic in Rails of Sheffield
Rails sent an email today saying next Friday (15/04/22) is the official launch day of their refurbished show room. They are doing a special open day so there could be something announced then? They say they will have up to date news from various manufacturers, as distinct for old and out of date news I suppose. -
It definitely looks different. Someone told me it had been corrected and I had a look at mine and it does look different. I will post a picture. There is also a buffer missing.
-
The numbers are different both on the boxes and on the wagons, I have the earlier logo versions with 5 wagons from each batch For example 4F-050-001 and 4F-050-002 are the outers from the first batch and 4F-050-005 and 4F-050-006 are outers from the 2nd batch with the corrected bogie side-frames. It is the same for the inners, they have different box numbers. Most of the original batch are sold out anyway although could obviously turn up on eBay etc.
-
@Gary HThis is very useful and thanks for the guide. I will be trying this myself. This issue has been corrected in the 2nd batch. The only thing that worries me about these wagons is the weight. I think they are too heavy and will struggle even on the gentlest of inclines.

I still have nightmares over my Lima class 33 supertrain.

I wonder what Hornby tier the shop will be on

It is indeed very easy in my opinion too but I would still be interested in knowing where the Dapol sounds come from. There is no mention of stay alives in the Dapol spec. either.
-
I saw these at Alexandra Palace too and the colours did look like a big improvement on the first batch, I see they are also doing sound fitted ones, I wonder what sound project they are using. I should have asked.
