Class 40 or 58 👌

Yes 58 and 40 top of my D and E wishlist.

GWR County, although I believe Rapido looking at that atm.

Also I’d like to see the unlined gem of LNWR getting a look in. I’ve mentioned it before, but a Claughton, Precedent and matching stock would be very much welcome.

I would love a 58. I have a Heljan one and bits keep falling off! 
 

Trying not to read too much into it, cos I’ll be way off, but Rails have put some Heljan 58s in the bargain bin 🤨

My bad! They are Dapol ones! 🤪

37/9 please 👍

If it’s a class58 or an 8f my wallet will explode!

Did anyone else catch this?

Hi everyone,

 

Recently we were able to show you the first decorated samples of our all new Class 50 main range of locomotives. Many of you did ask if we could reveal the Accurascale Exclusive pair of 50007 and 50149, so here is the first, 50149! 

 

Before reading on, please note that this is a well used test sample which will have lots of corrections made on the production models that modellers will receive, including paint application, printing and general fit and finish. These include;

 

• That gap
• Translucent Rf General logo
• Marker lights should be opaque, tail lights should be red
• Pick ups will be chemically blackened

Anyway, rest of the blog here: https://www.accurascale.com/blogs/news/unveiled-our-act-of-pure-defiance

 

And onto images!

 

Cheers!

 

Fran 

Very nice. I had the Lima 149, then the Hornby 149,so looking forward to my order for this arriving

Birmingham was a popular place for copping Hoovers when I lived up north. They pop up round here in Notts a lot these days thanks to Boden Rail being in the area.

I remember seeing them at Olton station, on the outskirts of Birmingham heading into New Street. 7.53pm I recall. For some reason I always seemed to see Bulwark or Triumph. Sad those days have gone.

Dare I say...a Class 40, perfect for the discerning Rails of Sheffield/Accurascale customer 😏

I’d second that, would buy one of each variant produced!

Oooh you tease. LNWR Claughton

For me, if I preordered something and is expecting to get it, I would honestly treat that money as not existing anymore.

Totally understand your point. However, with respect, if I’d had more notice that 89001 was going to come out of my May pay packet, I would have delayed my purchase of 50017 for a month.

I knew the payment was coming, of course I did, but I would hope that a way for more forewarning can be introduced in the future.

A heads up would have been nice. Nearly £200 leaving your bank account before a bank holiday, without warning, is a bit of a shocker.

I’ve had the money taken out of my bank as well, is this right?

Preferred her like this 😀

Decided to bite the bullet and go for my 3rd 50, 017 in NSE as I saw her at Saltley when she was freshly painted.

Disaster though, she was sold out! However, I’ve been saved by by favourite local model shop in Exmouth!

Apologies if this has had been covered, but are there any plans for a rerun of the twins in LMS? I think these were originally limited to Rails, but surely by now are main range?

Am tempted to get into TT, but I’d need some LNWR to go with it!

This is what I remember best 50003at St Davids.

Fran, when are you going to put us out of our misery and announce the next batch? 🤣

I’d love models of the last 50s I saw in active service at St. Davids:

D400

50003, 50029 and 50033 revised NSE

50031 Large logo

One of my retirement pipe dreams (5 years, 9 months and 28 days- not that I’m counting) is to make a model of St Davids shed on that day when I saw the 50s for the last time.

I very nearly bought the Hornby version of 033, glad I held off.

I thought 50017 looked awful. I used to see her at Tyseley. However, put me down for one! 🤣

Got my departmental banana van. Wow. Amazing in all aspects.

Thank you accurascale 

Having received my Mark 2bs yesterday, I would say all Mark 2 variants! The quality of these coaches takes things to a new level.

Oh and obviously some 40s to pull them!
