Actually, if they were to put lights on some steam models I’d be happy as a modern image modeller. Mainly because steam on the mainline now usually has the same headlamp layout, black central main headlight lit, and then smaller fake lamps either lit or not either side. And as a DCC modeller if I can light them and turn them on off or even have a red light if done right I’d welcome it, but I can see how a DC modeller wouldn’t want them but why not have like a blue box company and have DC, DCC and DCC deluxe versions, no lights, fake lights and DCC lights. Our hobby is evolving and technology is at the heart of it, if it’s done well we should welcome it!

If I were to use my mystic Meg powers, or a crystal ball then I would think another batch is in the offing. Obviously the current ones should sell through first, once all gone then a new batch would be announced when a production slot is sorted. I would think we could see; 92029 in New DB red (it’s new) 92031 in EWS (they did tell us they had tooled this one) any of the 3TG w/ EWS stickers (popular and ever present) GBRf grey 92044 (missing from the last batch and different to 043’s grey) Another RFD model (popular and lots of choice) another SNCF model (rails exclusive went quickly) GBRF 92028 in blue (020&032 been done) CS 92033 (seen as it’s named, because who doesn’t like a named one). Or something along these lines. New liveries and current additions for those in the here and now, along with late 90’s models for those in the RFD/ early EWS days and some for the in-between too like me.

I suppose buying a Romanian example and then modifying it might work depending on how the chassis would look with the cab cut away, then giving it a respray.

Doesn't this one need it own special tooling if it was made? Is it not a Doncaster example but with cut away buffer beams meaning it’s unlike any other one? I’d love a model of this one too but unless I’m wrong it would be very expensive to make, here’s hoping I am!

It looks more like a storm trooper there to me!😆

Does this mean that second parts of payments will start to be taken in the coming days or an email will be sent in the coming days to pay?

When I say photos I mean the key world article and photos at this link that was discussed earlier. https://www.keymodelworld.com/article/Hornby-salmon-wagon-first-shots?utm_campaign=kmw social&utm_content=255537182&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook&hss_channel=fbp-129246407114953 The sprue for the toolings shows an ASF bogie, Hornby can’t deny that one! As the guy didn’t at Warley, I feel like he was more loose lipped than some others on the stand, but he also didn’t have all the answers and when I asked further another person in effect told him to shut up and stop talking as in he was giving away future releases!

Well I also asked and was told they are doing them, the bogies are on the photos and that it would likely be a release for future but wouldn’t tell me if it was next year or not.

Got an email today, that delivery to Footplate is due in the next few days, if you did pre-order, then it seems you need to go back onto the website and place the order again. At the moment the pre order price seems to be £39.95 per wagon. Not sure what stock levels are going to be like but I’m getting my order in now!

I have to say, I do like the special liveries so 60074 in it’s different guises, 60007 in its switch on to safety, 60065 in its EWS/DB guise, 60066 in Drax livery, 60071 in EWS is a good one and 60099 in corus silver too would be ones.

It will be interesting to see what further versions of the class 37 Accurascale plan on doing next. Seen as the /6’s have now arrived and the other batch not far away!

It did for a short period of time after leaving Eastleigh. My photo on its first run in its new livery. https://flic.kr/p/QsW11h already been pointed out and that the extra ETS connection had been added.

Well found! After checking the website it appears all the modern ones have the holding bars on and non are flat tops? Is this supposed to be, I thought the modern ones were flat tops? Or have I got the wrong end of the stick?

Same here, no word from Accurascale regarding the delivery of mine, however I would assume that they are working as hard as possible to get them out as soon as possible. Keep the faith an extra week is nothing compared to how long we’ve all waited for a good RTR 37/6 model!

So I’ve just been charged for 37610, so I’m assuming it’s either about to be dispatched or it’s now with Rails!

Hi Ben, So if I was after wagons that ran from 2010-2018 I’m assuming I would be looking at the ones with H & HT lettering but not the originals or were they around still in 2018? I’m assuming Ermewa branding came after 2018. Need to get an order for these placed!! Cheers Chris

I have my pre-order with them and haven’t even been charged the second payment yet, I would have thought an email would have been sent or guidance? In terms of 608, my order of 602, 608 & 609 hasn’t been dispatched, I’m assuming that 608 is holding them back.

I’ve ordered a 66779 and 66769 both sound fitted directly, and I’m looking forward to both arriving into stock! I’ve also got another 6 sound fitted examples ordered with my favourite model shop! 🤣

My final 4 from the first batch should be with me soon then!! Hope I can try sneak a 97301 when they are done sending out the pre orders!

Thats true but I can’t remember the last time a manor went through Milton Keynes either? I think with TPE 802’s due soon and AS 68’s & Mk5a’s out now then the 185 would be an excellent gap filler! As a northerner I would prefer a 185 but either model is a very good addition to the OO gauge range!

Does this mean we could get 401 and 424 in this condition then 🤔 That’s my ideal pairing

Don’t forget that 66769 Prostate Cancer hasn’t been announced just yet, so thats one announcement to come!

It wouldn’t surprise me to see a new tooled 66, to go head to head with AS, but I’d also have thought maybe something of the Unit variety would come through maybe some 158’s. Must be time for some sort of kettle upgrade or new type. And I’d like to see the Mk.2F tooling used to do some other liveries, like anglia as mentioned maybe WCRC, or Statesman or even some north Britton coaches?

Must be some more announcements soon with the FNA-D’s now arrived and the 37’s coming through. I wonder what’s next!

Hi Charlie, does the contact you section on the website work or is there a better place to contact you?
