How was DB977787 used?

What else could be seen in a train with it?

Considering investing in automatic train control for my new layout with a railcom system. Can anyone advise if the ESU decoders accurascale sell as specific to their locos are RailCom compatible? Also, anyone any feedback on the range of non sound ESU decoders for accurascale locos? Thanks 

They are, they are ESU LokPilot v5

Did you actually send your email? I've had that memory blip before

And get a confirmation? There’s an automatic response once any email reaches us. If not try one of the other methods of contact?

Does that include the HTG 37714?

Its part of the inbound batch. 

For clarity there was a small issue with a very small number of orders that had used partially on the ‘reservation fee and balance later’ model which we no longer do.

Most users will just have had a regular balance invoice raised with a due date about 90 days hence.

If anyone was actually charged by the system and wants that money back just let us know directly and we will sort that immediately. 

On the balance orders you can avail of paypal credit, Clearpay and revolut pay in three to further spread the balance at no cost to you.

I noticed on the Accurascale website last night that the run 2 class 37s are now labelled as “stock incoming”. Is this true @Accurascale? Will I soon get my greasy mitts on some more lovely tractors? Considering I’ve ordered both the Colas and HNRC I think I’d better order some sunglasses, or  a welders helmet. 

Transit times allowing, but they are not much longer away....

looked at the deltics and sold out ones say stock incoming just like the 66s,  does this mean they coming early or is it still Q3

The website now says ‘incoming’ when the models are in production and imminent

Have they arrived?

 

Running about a week or so late right now thanks to the ‘long way around’ on the boat.

That must be an understatement.

 

The sheer number of components must be considerable, and the need to keep track of stock will need a fair amount of resource.   In any case I can't imagine you'll be able to hold every component of every product you've ever produced.

 

Good luck with the project.

 

 

I've noticed you're quoting weights against one or two of your products on the web site, something I find useful.

However in most cases it's the package weight (which I guess is useful for costing postage) rather than the vehicle itself.

 

 

Under the specification tab you’ll find the vehicle weight also.

Makes a no money down preorder seem like the investment of the decade :)

Hi McC

 

i brought some half hoppers from rails of Sheffield,  but i got them of their ebay site a while ago,   does the warranty still apply? 

If you have a receipt from a stockist then absolutely

Pre-selling them before they arrive.....

 

Does the lifetime warranty transfer when sold/bought via ebay? As the description implies?

 

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/126394371550?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=-u-bme6js9-&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=__tDpysrRka&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

 

And he has three of them....

 

Nope. Warranty applies to the original purchase, either direct or from a listed stockist.

I sent accurascale a message directly about this some time ago and in a reply directly,  was told that the certificates were not included but were in the process of being sent over. This was several weeks ago now. 
im happy to be corrected but im not sure we will get these now. A shame really. 

Since you were told they were in the process of being sent, why would you now not get them?

We started posting them out last week  :)

Went to test run my DCC & sound fitted 37423, and to my surprise, the sound functions and lights worked but it wouldn’t move.  It worked perfectly a few weeks ago and now somewhat surprised that it’s decided to play dead.  Does anyone have any ideas as to why it’s decided to throw a wobbly?

Try a decoder reset? Assuming no obvious physical damage or signs since last run?

The other thing to consider is, the new run of CDA's are current at around the £20 mark..... how much would an Accurascale CDA be? 😁

Not a pointer for 2mm but our OO new run are a little over £23 each when you buy two packs and free post, if that’s an indicator for value for money.

. After defending Accurascale on various forums (especially YouTube where people seem to try and make their titles sound as dramatic as possible) I now too have experienced motor failure on one of my 37s.  

I know I go through Accurascale customer services but has anyone had to return one recently, and if so what was the turn around time like?

Current turnaround is about a week as there’s nothing in the queue ahead of you 👍

I was hoping there would be announcement regarding a third batch, I know @class26 and others are climbing the walls awaiting for a Accurascale announcement for Inverness based Class 37’s, especially 37114 Dunrobin Castle, with it’s unique top of the bonnet headlight.

 

Personally I’m hoping for DRS 37069 or 37218 and 37716 in later compass livery, plus 37401 in large logo.

 

Just asking 😜

Once the run currently finishing production land we will launch the next run which will deliver within a year.

You guys are prob aware of it already but I'm Just trying to pre-order 7714 on the accurascale site and I get this at checkout - 

 

 

 

 

I can’t replicate the error i’m afraid so perhaps something transient on the shopify side? Are you still seeing the same ?

I wouldn't be so sure. Older tooling seems to last much longer in general then newer tooling. Look at how much use Hornby has made of some of the ex-Lima tooling - they may be more primitive in terms of detail but the models are still crisp. The same goes for the last run of Mk2Ds. No a reason not to retool though.

You can make tools from steel or from aluminum. The former will stand the test of time.
