So there's the class 31 that hauls the Mk1 subs and Mk2b TP coaches The WR/NSE Mk2Bs need a 47/50/52 - so I guess an AS class 50 is about to be announced? The class 37 has a variety of wagons to haul The Deltic has nothing to haul, maybe some decent late Mk2def coaches from AS? The 92 has a rake of coaches to pull, maybe a few wagons? GW7819 has a small growing range of AS wagons So many of their wagons scream AS class 60! So what should we expect? Class 50 & 60 plus some Mk 2ef coaches? An EMU would be good too, Electrostar or such like.

Well my new Hornby class 60 arrived today . . . . in bits, so it went back. Clearly a sign of an imminent A/S class 60 on the way!

Still so much easier if on your website, I did use that BR website as I did with the 37s but knowing which actual year & depot isn't so easy!

@Accurascale Fran What about putting depot codes on the pre-order page. Right pain otherwise trying to work out what region the loco will be modelled in! Easy with everything else, not the class 31.

I managed to spend my points on a single siphon G. Voucher / coupon value was £53.86, siphon G was £54.95 but only charged £45.79 at checkout but all £53.86 used. Odd! @McC is that right???

What about some Underground stock. The A stock is popular and the D stock / class 230 / 484 has so much potential!

I have yet t find a way to actually spend the points! 2 wagons with 10% discount = no Paying the final balance on a loco pre-order - = no hmmm

I love it when the manufacturer skilfully deals with every rivet counter query!

37001 was a Stratford machine, just remove the water tank, change it to SF, plate the headcode & stick a sparrow on the side!!

Could loft temperatures be the issue? I brought all my locos down & lowered rolling stock / units to floor level, put full ventilation in place yet still temperatures were high. I've already had a Dapol wagon bogie deform in the heat & my DCC refused to work when too hot.

No but you 'could' charity auction rare items like pre-production samples!

Accurascale openly chat with their customers, Hornby do not!

Do you have kids? 🤣

There is the technology now to add a load sensor to the couplings so that sound & acceleration can be matched to load! Also what about a CCTV camera at the front so that you can drive on line of sight, some German manufacturers do this now. Class 37 would also be good with a cold start option too! Whilst A/S are at it build in a mileage / time timer to allocate the loco for exams. 🤣

It's also a very complex DCC conversion requiring 3 chips! and lots of ££££

My wallet is safe!

OO I order, O no!

Following feedback from another forum I'm on, I've just run the Deltic upside down and held a sharp object in place and found a small lump of resin totally invisible even under magnifying glass on one wheel. Took some removing! That bogie still wobbles a bit but I hope that will settle in with time. Excellent support from A/S as usual. Outstanding loco that I'm running in, excellent sounds not a loud as I feared it might be, having scared wife with drone warning from youtube videos!

Its the centre axle on one end shakes side to side a lot! I ran it upsidedown to watch

Just test running my Rails 55015.Arrived intact but . . When running it goes clonk clonk clonk clonk like the sound of a wheel flat and one end shakes in tune with it. Worse on bend! Anyone else had this?

The only classes of locos not done are 01, DC SR 70 and a few AC electrics. Others are pre-nationalisation shunters. Steam is a crowded market with partisan regional buyers, coaches are nearly full bar Mk2C or better Mk3s. DMUs are well covered but with many gaps in the XC/IC DMU range There's still no track plant, very few EMUs so a lot of opportunity there. Wagons are lacking in the modern end. Car transporters? Nobody makes decent large viaducts, stations or depots. My guess is a working sizable track machine range!

He did say BIG!

I bought a pair of wagons with a 10% discount, credits not allowed. I went to buy a smaller item - credit limited to maximum 10% of purchase value. Any other restrictions?
