A new 66 just to pip Accurascale to the line. Feel like it's now or never for that.

First of the mk1's due tomorrow according to Rails.

From the sound of this Rails facebook post, the second batch (presumably including the Kernow and Gaugemaster specials) is now due Q4. Model has been updated to a plux22 though, hopefully this is to give the correct lighting functions (we can hope). Either way, 59104 in Hanson looks great. https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=864433342392351&set=a.563373969164958&comment_id=7446067792154595¬if_id=1713191667438508¬if_t=feedback_reaction_generic&ref=notif

Worked a treat thanks! Much better now! No more cutouts. Got another on order for a second sound chip I managed to get today. -

Brill thanks. Coastal DCC have some in stock so I'll try one. -

Does the 8 ohm speaker stop the sound cutting out on startup? Which one did Richard recommend please? -

Thanks, I'll order some of that then. Much prefer Phoenix paints anyway for airbrushing. -

Oh 💩 I was happy before but that Bachmann coach looks rediculous now compared to that latest photo 🙃 Repaint it is. Railmatch EWS Maroon looks a good match? Unless anyone from Accurascale can let me know what paint code they used? -

My WCRC pair arrived yesterday. Yes they are fantastic coaches, but that's already been covered to death. I was more interested in the comparison to the Bachmann WCRC release though, as along with the forthcoming Accurascale mk2c and Bachmann mk1s they will make the full rake. Anyway after a bit of weathering they look pretty good together, just like a rake would that's been painted over a few years. Body sides kept clean, but underframes, lower sides and roof dirtied up a bit. I also used a bit of tcut on the sides to get that nice used shine effect which old stuff seems to get because of too many oily rags. All quite subtle but basically they look alright together. Few pics in natural light below. Only thing I'm unsure of is the West Coast logo. Can't tell which one is right, but I think I'll order some from railtec and probably end up redoing them all as no doubt that will be different again 😄 -

Promising! Nout for me yet, although whilst checking, I did end up getting tempted by the Freightliner 08 they've now got for £79 quid ha
