    No comparison with DJM really is there, so a pointless comment? Accurascale (and as IRM) have delivered multiple products to a mostly very good reception (yes there is the odd moan from some quarters). I am very happy with all of my purchases.

     

    Likewise SLW have delivered modes and I sit here looking at 6 of them - all excellent.

    You miss my point. I'm not comparing them to DJM. The point I made about SLW was that the general public cannot see the models... I think most modellers have probably never heard of SLW, I know people who haven't even heard of Bachmann.

    what's this got to do with the new Bachmann 47?

    I notice this a phenomena on many threads in here, Hornby and Dapols areas. There is this belief that some manufacturers products will be better than others regardless of physical (or lack of) evidence. This Bachmann 47 is superb and a real game changer for the hobby. It's a model that can be seen and bought in the shops by the masses unlike an SLW product for example, the Accurascale 37 is many moons away so surely cannot be used as a yardstick to measure the Bachmann 47 against?

    Now I'm not saying Accurascale are anything like the likes of DJM but until I can hold one in my hand it's just promises.

    I am torn between a green 47 and an Accurscale 37.  Is this Bachmann up to the same quality as the Accura is likely to be.  I am DC only.

     

    Personally I buy things when I see them in shops etc. I can go and look at a B 47 and make my mind up. Not sure how long I will have to wait before I can see if the A 37 lives up to all the hype.

     

    If you want a loco now then the B 47 it must be. If you are patient and want to wait and see what you get with the A 37 then you might miss out on the B 47 selling out in the meantime.

     

    I haven't bought either myself yet.  I do keep looking at the triple grey one with intent though

  4. Got mine under the counter waiting for me at my LMS. Looking forward to handing over some groats and collecting it soon.
