Cheers Mike! Yes, always nice to see a certificate - bummer! However. The main thing is, I haven’t got a missing one, so thanks for putting my mind at ease ; ).... Received mine today and could not be happier, Bachmann’s Finishing and chassis have both come on soooooooooo much, since they first took over Mainline! In fact.... Every new Bachmann loco I buy, just keeps on getting better & better! ! : ) Also very happy they decided to do the one repainted with correct arrows! Had the large arrowed one for some time, although never quite bonded with it? One last question.... There seems to be a difference of opinion on how many of the new Inverness TMD have been produced. Some websites are saying 512, others are saying 350? By the way, I had never heard of you, or your shop, before finding this thread on RMWEB! So, it looks as though you are gonna be getting a new customer; )... Liking the idea of bundles a lot! Thanks again Mike! Best Wishes, Coop

Hey KMS Railtech, just received mine... Should there be a ltd edition certificate, or does it come without? Best Wishes, D

Good evening Fran! Been dying to get back on all day, although duty calls and your lovely wagons most certainly won’t pay for themselves will they! As for your answer regarding the eventual colour of the grey, you have more than put my mind at ease, so very much appreciated in that regard good buddy! ! Also, thanks for the very warm welcome to RMWEB.. I signed up to both yesterday in fact! Firstly here At RMWEB and secondly, at your website. Both of which I have been a lurker on, for quite some time. Although, I have probably been lurking around here for a good 4 years or so, therefore I cannot believe I have only just signed up! Anyhows..... I guess there is now only one thing left to do & that’s place my order for a very healthy rake of the early grey & orange PTA’s! Thanks again for your decision to do the inners Fran, as my intended rake, would be impossible without them... My only worry is, what happens when my pre ordered Yeoman & ARC Dapol 59’s arrive? Looks as though you will also have another sale on some Yeoman & ARC rakes too! Oh dear! Better start looking for a new missus now eh? Which reminds me.... If anyone by the name of Rachel, happens to email you from my email address regarding my order.... Jjust remember, I was lucky enough to place my order on the ‘2 wagons for the price of one’ promotional day, you were having! ; ) Thanks again Fran, your help has been invaluable! Cannot wait to see the colour samples! Best Wishes, Coop

Firstly, hello all! Incredibly long time lurker, just this minute joined, as I’m just about to drop the heavy end of £600 on a just a few Accurascale Tipplers! So, firstly, may I say an official ‘hello’ to anyone who reads this, and I look forward to getting to know some of you a lot better in the future; ) However... As expected, my first question is directed to Fran Fran, Firstly, I gotta say it’s great to have the manufacturer so active on RMWEB, not only joining in the discussion, regarding all of our personal passion for your frankly stunning RTR PTA Tipplers and all that is the subtle beauty of our favourite BR Wagons! All, sadly much more prevalent on our railways, when I was a lad, than they are now! Anyway.... As you will have gathered, I’m extremely interested in a rather healthy order of 20 x Tipplers... One set of outers and 3 inners.. I am looking at the earlier Grey, with orange end, as it fits right into my era and many did I see on the Hunterston & Ravenscraig journey... Which brings me onto your cad drawings and the slightly blue/grey, also pointed out one page back by ‘John’. I can’t help but notice that the colour of grey seems to be more of a ‘teal’, rather than the dark grey (almost black), I remember from my many days trainspotting, as a young man? Now I realise these are only the initial cad drawings and the shape was probably the main reason for said drawings? However... In my many years as a spotter, this was not a colour I ever saw? Actually, the colour I saw on a regular basis, was a much darker grey, much more akin to the grey which is featured on the ‘typical train formation diagram’ you have posted a couple of times, within this thread. The one showing the very ambitious, yet something that all being well, I will end up modelling ‘Triple headed 37 train’... So, I guess my question is simple on the surface? Will the grey be the grey I remember as a kid, going into young adulthood? Or is the CAD drawing on your website an accurate representation of the way you are going , with the grey? Funnily enough, my small posse of fellow trainspotters and I, actually nicknamed the wagons as ‘Duracells’, mainly owing to the stark contrast between the dark, almost black grey and quirky orange end? Also, the wagons were exactly the same as the ones you are producing, with absolutely no markings at all, apart from the ones shown in your cad designs. With always one fully dark grey wagon nearest to the Loco(s] Just thought I’d check before the wife divorces me is all Fran! I will undoubtedly tell her that it was a 2 for one wagon special day anyhow ; ) Thanks again Fran! Look forward to hearing from you.. Best Wishes, Coop
