Give it a rest, Accurascale is a company with full time staff. SLW is 2 people with full time jobs, doing model railways as a side line. Victims of their own success , certainly. They are honouring the price set years ago. They can only do this by not taking on staff, so cut them some slack and just be patient like the rest of us.

Soon Gentlemen, soon.

For those awaiting sound fitted, of the currently in stock class 25's had a call today from SLW checking card and address details, and was told sound fitted loco's should be despatched in 4 to 6 weeks.

I was starting to worry, but it seems everyone who ordered a sound fitted 25324 are waiting for theirs too. Oh well, back to drooling over my Cavalex 56.

February / March according to Rails in their latest email.

Yes, my good lady gave it a run around the layout on Sunday

Excellent news, and ordered. Can finally dig out my Blue Fruit D that has been awaiting finishing for years.

I have a Heljan 3441 33025 Sultan which I wish to install with DCC sound. This is the more recent upgraded body shell version. Previously I used a replacement battery box / fuel tank speaker enclosure from DC kits to house a speaker, but these appear to no longer be available, so my question is, what speaker have people used inside their 33's as space is very limited. I intend to fit a legoman sound decoder. Cheers, Steve.

Well I took the plunge and ordered Anthony Manor which arrived today. Whilst admiring it earlier I realised the water filler cap on the tender is hinged and opens! Now that is attention to detail. Just superb.

I have just purchased a Bachmann class 40, so it will be a whistler

Trying the Wanted section rather than Ebay topics might elicit a response.

I received W1013 today. Absolutely stunning model, and absolutely no issues with the shade of BR Blue. Look forward to the 2 others I have on order.

i have the slinden book, and it only says "Incandescent gas lighting , with roof pipes, was fitted from new to those om Lots 1133 and 1162 and to the remainder in 8/09. The only picture i can find showing the roof is on page 34 of Wild Swan Publications book of the Calne Branch by Colin G Maggs . it shows only 2 lamps. Nice kit, must finish mine one day, been part built for at least 10 years, just needs the roof painting ,fitting, and lettering applying!

Have you contacted Bachmann themselves to see if they have spares?

Have you asked them to provide pictures of their weathering? They are very helpful.
