We're paying for a miniature replica of the real thing at the end of the day so expect them to be accurate. The picture below is off the revolution website and the logo is incorrect on that as well, despite what Mike B has said above about them using the correct logo.

Having had mine arrive on Friday, I took it to run on my layout at Shoeburyness Model Railway Exhibition at the weekend and have a few points to share. - The internal plastic packaging I think would have been better as a clam shell design to make it a bit easier to get the model out and protect some on the more fragile part, as a few parts on mine are damaged. - The plastic shims between the bogie and underframe where removed in order to reduce the ride height and it also sorted out the constant flickering lights I had. Overall a fantastically detailed model and one that makes a complete short train.

Hi Mike, Is the email in the instruction booklet the best to use for any issues? I've already sent one to it just wanted to make sure.

Great to see this one finally announced @Accurascale Fran after being teased by it for a few weeks. My pre-order was quickly placed and all to help a good cause.

If it's currently at Peterborough , then it will be from Revolution. Had mine turn up today.

The only downside to that is not all modellers have the money to pay for models in the shorter amount of time, especially at the moment given the current economic state and a backlog of model announced during Covid. As nice as the shorter wait is for some it may not benefit others. Going by recent announcements, are you looking at them being done when the first EP arrives?

The article on the website has this in it: "If you need to change your delivery address please update the shipping address in your account but also please send us an email if you changed it since 24 July (otherwise your order might not get updated in time). Thanks!"

Any chance of some formations for these wagons, I know they change about and mix with others. Just want to get some formation ideas as I'm struggling to find suitable pictures of full formations from the last few years.

They have been used since June 2022, just looked at the operations notice at work. It combines thermal and visible images from the track that is sent back to NR to analyse in order to detect any track or infrastructure issues.

It's a thermal imagining camera. The warning sticker in the window appears to be a NM (Non Multiple) Restriction.

Had a great day on Saturday, some great layouts on show. Wasn't expecting to buy anything but as always some great offers to be had. Would love to being one of my layouts along one year.

Was great to have a chat and see your amazing work in the flesh, also thanks for the 3D print for me to practise on, just need to find the time to do it.

I did suggest to them about doing 66769 and giving a donation to the charity so hopefully that will happen.

Great to see these put in a thread. Still haven't had the chance to make a start on the kits I have from you. Mainly down to a lack of space to work on them.

So, have just been on the Class 66 page on the Accurascale website and the header photo is of the decorated samples, and it has what looks to be an unannounced version of 66769.

It’s something I want to try and do, got a mate who’s willing to help me but it’s just finding the time and space to do it.

Some great work, I have 59206 on order in Freightliner livery from the 2nd batch, no doubt it will have the same issues with the exhaust and nrm pods as the first batch. Just wish I had the courage to weather my own stock, it's something that really does need doing.

Thanks Ben, I knew you was working on the additional tooling, just thought I’d highlight the fact it’s not on the projects page at all.

Any update on these @Revolution Ben, as they are not listed on the Project section on the website, which I regularly check.

Thought I’d start a thread for Acton Parkway after purchasing the layout about two months ago. Some of you may recognise the layout having previously been exhibited by its original owner Halifax MRC. The layout was sold to a private buyer in 2018, where it has been until I purchased it at the beginning of March. The layout has been sat unused for a few years and requires some work, which is underway. I plan to get the layout back out on the exhibition circuit in the future. The layout was set up for the first time at the beginning of April to see what needed to be done. Most importantly I had trains running for the few days it was up. The first thing to get done is the point motors and track repairs to get the layout fully functional in terms of running trains, this will also include an extension to the sides in order to make the operating area bigger as it is only 2ft wide. Doing this will also allow me to simplify the track layout into the fiddle yard and hopefully allow trains to run better on those sections. Once the electrics are all done then I will move onto scenic work, which may included extending the scenic section by another 4ft, this work will involve having a general tidy up of all scenic areas as well as new signals and new OHLE as it is not in the greatest condition. I hope to keep this thread updated as much as I can when work is done, I have also included a YouTube video from my channel of some running shots from the layouts first testing. Also if anyone has any pictures or videos of the layout when it used it be out feel free to post them. I look forward to sharing updates on the layout and hopefully any comments you have.

Need to get @accurascale to scan you for when they do the drivers for them.

West Hill Wagon Works has done a coupling adapter for them, https://westhillwagonworks.com/hunt-couplings-elite-oo/509-coupling-pack-for-buffered-Hornby-hst-powercars.html

I have pointed out via email about CV17/18 and said they would get the DCC guy to look into it. I’m glad I’m not the only one who has that issue.

Already have done, just awaiting a reply.

This is what 37423 sounds like.
