Wow, these are looking very cool (I’ll get my coat). Looking forward to the DRS livery ones. 
 

If I preorder one and then want to change which one I’ve preordered can the deposit be transferred over?

Did any of the modern version come back into stock? I didn't get any notification.

Based on a comment on FB yes but gone within minutes. Got 2 on pre-order with trains4u, might be worth dropping them a line to see if they still have any availability when they release there’s 

Somehow managed to miss 14 pages of suggestions on this thread! Apologies if already suggest, 

What about the Wascosa MLA's and FEA-W's? Latter with their different configurations? They're yellow which always sells, good starting point for bogie intermodal wagons for you guys 😉

Appreciate Revolution are doing the JNA's big boxes. 

Thanks

Hello, 

Really looking forward to seeing the decorated samples and any update on this project. 

Re pre-ordering, am I correct that its £30 on pre-order and remainder prior to despatch?

Many Thanks in advance,

The 00 samples looked great on the stand at Warley at the weekend. Especially the super tench with the mesh sides!

 

 

Loved looking at the super trench sample as have it on pre-order. Great detailed model, cant wait for the production models to arrive. 

The trench section was bowed up slightly in the middle but assumed this is just pre-production and will be much flatter/level once in production.

It certainly does 👍

Do we still get the loyalty points as well shopping through there or only though the Accurascale website?

Oh very nice and very fitting for the anniversary! Very tempted with 66779 as missed out on the B release. 

Is this new announcement a video based one again? Don’t think I’ve seen any links yet - could be wrong as not caught up fully on here yet.

Well… you had me thinking a class 73 announcement with the Caledonian stock at the beginning. 
 

followed by “not another class 66 version, that’s 4 now”

To YES! Whoop! Very pleased and impressed with this announcement at being able to take a very good model, secure the tooling and enhancing it up another few notches! Especially with the sound version not being too far off the price a few years ago (happy to be corrected on this!).

Very nice, probably the DRS version for me atm, dread to think which other versions you’ll be doing for runs 2 & 3 onwards! 
 

this seems a smallish offering to start for yourselves though - Not a complaint, just an observation.

Class 88 is my guess 

I Hope so, would be fantastic given a lot of the ground work has been done for the class 92 for the pantographs!  also suit their nuclear rolling stock releases - time will tell.

88010 in its 'cool' livery as an accurascale exclusive perhaps?

Hi everyone,

 

Yes indeed, A has sold out with us, B isn't too far behind. C, D and E all healthy for now. It is a fascinating trend we always see with multiple packs of the same livery such as these FNA-Ds. A sells out first, and then the last pack number (in this case, pack E) is always last to go. Is that just a human conditioning we have with "pack A" or "pack 1"? 

 

Love to hear your thoughts!

 

Cheers!

 

Fran 

I was working on similar assumption that most people will start at 1/A or top left when they look at a page and go from there. A little social experiment on your next announcement/release (*cough* DRS class 88 please 😁), list them on your website in descending order and see if that breaks the trend? 

I Ordered packs C & D as the running numbers don't overly matter to me, as long as they are different, so went for those packs assuming 1 Pack A & B will be the most likely people order. 

Plus each pack has 1 wagon with a tail light so not having to buy a specific pack for just that feature like I did with the cut down HYA's.

Class 92 operators manual or do you already sign that?

Really looking forward to see it on Sunday! Have a great show

Oh and are we taking guesses as to what's being announced tomorrow?

 

I expect a steam loco or a class 50. I'll be thrilled if it's an 88 or 99 but I aren't holding much hope for either.

Agree hoping for an 88 as think this would be epic given the R&D gone into the 92’s. Have to wait and see at what 12pm reveal today brings. 

Just seen decorated sample (?) photos of 37609 in the revised DRS compass livery - Damn it looks gorgeous. Cant wait for them to arrive!  

Glad I worked from home today, due between 5:15 & 6:15, arrived shortly ago (4pm), love the exclusive model box branding for the dragon pack! 
 

Loving the dragon pack and it’s removable tarp part, just enough flex to mimic the real thing I think! Cracking  models as per usual! Looking fantastic! 

Have the EP1 samples been shown off/displayed online at all? Assuming they are willing to share them of course. 

Think I saw in a Hornby review video on YouTube of these that the newer/current version are in development but not officially announced yet.

Thankfully we have great communications, and even a live status page on our website below, so you don't need to rely on 'sources' :)

Love the status page, lovely and clear! Great addition to the website! 

This does look smart even if slightly not 100% accurate! Do you have to be a Bachmann club member to buy this from them?

Got the NR version on route, hopefully being left with a neighbour of the weather keeps chucking it down!

Well I’m alive and modelling again here and there on and off!

Bought these rail holders from Resin Printed Railways as a little modelling job just to clean up and paint. Loads of old Hornby set track lengths that have come away from the plastic sleepers due to plastic fatigue. Quick prime and and rattle can sleeper grime and think they’ll do. Holders were which ever red paint I had to hand. rails are   loosely placed hence the uneven end alignment. Will look to glue the rails in place and add a couple more to make all 12 slots loaded. Got a pack of 4 so will have an unloaded set and loaded set as I only have the 1 wagon at present. 
 

wagon will get weathered as and when I’ve practiced my dry brushing and airbrushing most likely. 
 

Few only bits and bobs kicking about so will upload as and when!

Thanks

Ali

Hi everyone, 

 

Time for some '6' appeal....

 

Cheers!

 

Fran 

oh jeez there good! The DRS swoosh/fade livery from what I can see looks fantastic! Stop teasing us! 

Went to the Portsmouth Railex today and pleasantly surprised to see Bachmann there with a small stand showing the new Class 90’s and various other bits. They look superb in person. One of the layouts adjacent was running one of them too - somehow didn’t manage to get any decent photos to share though. While the class 90’s are not really of much interest to me, seeing them in the flesh has sparked more interest in them.

Great choice gents! Certainly be looking at pre-ordering a couple.

Good luck Dapol 

 

 

Sure a Dapol printing engineer has just seen this and gone ‘off home for a stiff drink, will look at it in the morning’ know I would in their place 

Quite like the livery, think it’ll be one of those that looks different in different light angles after seeing some other images on wnxx just now.  DRS logo - bit bland! 

On a side note, between the left hand bogie and the fuel tank, is it me or is something missing from there on the under frame?
