Reporting in from the GWR downunder division, although I havent heard #93 in the flesh (covid delayed my trip to the UK), I think the file sounds good. I got to my club over the weekend and gave #93 a good run in both directions without issue.

My sound fitted model of No 93 has reached me in the land down under. Very happy with the look but no chance to run it just yet. I too had the loose funnel but it sloted back in with no fuss.

Class 37, by Accurascale
AussieEE replied to Accurascale Fran's topic in Accurascale / Irish Railway Models
Joining the DCC address debate, I model DRS 2010-2020 as well as preserved stuff in that time with a few rule 1 stuff along with trains more local to Australia. I often run at the model club so I'm concerned about doubling up with others addresses so all my class 37s are 3 followed by the subclass numbers so 3423 (3 for EE type 3). To avoid the doubling up I used the TOPS numbers minus a zero for Alycidon (5509) and Gordon Highlander (5516) but for DP1 I went 5500 as it wont clash with other class 55 addresses. -

Took 37402 along with 37423 and some FNA-Ds (as well as another brand's model) to the club today. Once again Accurascale has blown it out of the water with these models. Congrats to the team. -

Today 37402 completed the long journey downunder. Looking forward to my next running day at the club. Two down, four to go. Bring on the class 37/6s 🙂 Once again the cats like the present from Accurascale hahaha. -

Had a chance to run 37423 yesterday at my local club. Very impressed with the end result. Just waiting on the LL /4s and the /6s to fill up my DRS roster. -

Yet to have a chance to run my Spirit of the lakes (thanks covid) but my cats really enjoyed the box. -

Spirit of the lakes is heading to the land down under. The first of many... -

Nicely done Accurascale although I'll only need one this time around so my wallet can sigh in relief compared to the 6 i ordered in the first announcement. Although if you do some preserved engines or 37901 my wallet will cry. -

Convincing a friend to get 50149 and came across this on flickr (not my photo). An all accurascale train. -
Accurascale is really good at convincing me to give up my hard earned money. I thought I was safe from the class 31s as I'm a preservation and modern DRS modeller but with the EWS announcement this morning I guess I better pony up some cash for 31466 as I do like the Wisconsin Central inspired livery and we had a few locos here in Australia in a similar livery under ATN Access who were also part owned by Wisconsin Central. I'll share a link to a photo on Flickr that helps show off the Aussie version of EWS. (Not my photo)

I'll still be waiting for the next EP before I commit to a order but it does make me feel hopeful.

I pre-ordered the first run GT3 and that thing wasn't a great runner. I was very interested in Bellerophon but if its not a fully working valve gear then thats a no from me. Once bitten, twice shy when it comes to pre-ordering from KR without physical proof.

As an Australian I'm happy to see Dapol have altered the livery on Wallaby from the stuffed and mounted preservation paint job to the maroon livery which was worn in service. I'll be getting one despite the difference between HO and OO.

G'day Fran, I'm a bit out of the loop with differences in class 50s being from the land down under. Is there any difference between your model of 50017 'Royal Oak' in BR condition and her current condition as a preserved loco on the GCR?
