I managed to get a screenshot of the one telling the world that I had purchased an A class loco!

Look Mom!  I'm on the telly! 🤩

Perhaps we should take our customer/after sales service to a whole new sphere and offer "Relationship Counselling For Model Railway Enthusiasts" on how to deal with shiny Accurascale purchases constantly turning up?

Take a tip from the motor trade and throw in a large bouquet with every shiny new toy😄

What do you call an mpd layout for 89’s?

 

Badger Set(t)! 🙈

That’s you on the setts offender register for life🤪

Hi everyone,

 

The next announcement is in two days, and it's a big one.

 

Place yer bets!

 

Cheers!

Just in case anybody thought the Eurofighter Typhoon was around in 1944...

Are you sure? Didn't John Wayne fly one when he defeated the Germans?😉

Possibly Pontefract Baghill

 

I'd go along with that:

Reputedly, the world record for most number of children born to one woman is 69 to Valentina Vassilyev.

She never got to 70 as 69 gave her a rare light-bulb moment? 😉

I hate to nit pick, but isn’t that a tad out of gauge? 🤪

Not the second time it passes, no😉

Oh well, another one to stick on the Accurascale to-do list? 😉

Not sure if I blinked and missed it, but haven't seen side-by-side comparison with the Bachmann equivalent, so here are Blue Box 9005 alongside newcomer 9021.

 

Good Lord, the Bachmann's nose is worse than I remembered!  And I remembered it was baaad 🤢

I said I would run it round the garden in the early hours!

If they're Irked Purists (or even 24 Hour Garage People) they'd still be up and pounding at their keyboards.

Bit more running this afternoon, complete with BG now. 

Oh, St Rollox!  I want sound in my whisper-quiet one now 🙉

As a child, I think we were convinced that the main uses for the stuff were as tracing paper or for comb kazoos!

 

I also don't remember which side was to be used for wiping, the glossy or the plain...

 

As long as it's not the side you're planning to use with a kazoo you should be reasonably OK👍

Has anyone tried it on radius 1 yet? 🙃

Patience, my young Padawan.  I'm sure a radius one test underwater will be forthcoming once those unboxing videos are out of the way 😉

Very happy bunny.  I'm tempted to throw in a "Did no-one at Accurascale notice the arrows were the wrong way round?" but it would be cruel.  And my tongue's in the way🤪

Let's see what happens though and you have got to respect the channel, following and career Sam has made out of his channel.

Very well said, that man!  I was saying something similar only recently about my good friend Vladimir and the bounders just nicked my yacht!😉

With mine due in the next couple of hours I'm wondering, should I have left the bunting out? 🤪

Well that's mine confirmed by DHL as due tomorrow🤩

When the real machines were withdrawn there were scenes on TV of grown men crying, I wonder if that'll be repeated when the models arrive?  I know I for one most certainly burst into tears back when I received my Bachmann one😉

Funny name,who calls their daughter Arrhythmia...

I'll admit, it's a little irregular😆

Arrhythmia. I just had an email from DHL. Alas, it was the wrong sort of email🥴

Model Rail issue # 301 has a (glowing) review of the AS Deltic.

Purple glowing, or just glowing glowing?😜

1:120? So all those nice 1:100 Parkside kits from the 3mm Society won't be much use. 

 

The tight clearances won't accommodate your old Tri-ang stock.

Great for building layouts in 2022 but not so good if you're a toy museum 😉

Pleased to see the bold step of catering only for finer wheel standards.  Will any of us live to see Peco launch something comparable in OO or N?

Is there a Chinese porn site suitable for the hobby? Just asking for a friend...

Well many of us have been following those photos of the development of Accurascale's Deltic.  If that doesn't count I don't know what does?

Personally I wish the Admins would lock this thread until Accurascale make their next announcements. Fed up with reading dribble about boats, ships, what next loco, etc, etc, in this thread rather than the actual topic

 

 

 

Now I'm confused.  I thought Deltics were boats?😉
