Just got mine and is a gorgeous set of models. Will be testing over the weekend and of course got to get a photo of it next to the Single.

Shall be looking at my locomotive more in depth, as not had a chance to fully yet, As was over in Dusseldorf supporting brother in the Invictus Games.

But first initial looks it looks very impressive. Did noticed some red paint not fully applied on the rear buffer beam side, on the right side but only thing i have noticed. During the week shall be testing the locomotive, when not in work.

Either way, glad to have another Local engine in my collection as well, also another piece of Rapido stock to.

Ive nbot seen on any pics but is it possible to have a front coupling fitted? My layouts an end to end so would need to be able to  pull trains backwards if needed

One is included and shows in the manual how to fit it on the front bogie as well to.

Have given it a test now and runs incredibly smoothly as well to. For Steam locos on par with the Stirling Single and various German steamers I have. 

Bradley (sound one) arrived today and is a gorgeous model. 
 

Shall test it later today as got a few hours overtime for work. 
 

great work from Accurascale to!

Received a e-mail from Key Publishing  dispatching pre-ordered 7802 exclusive model  from August the 7th.

Like wise for mine and all paid for. Glad managed to get a Sound one ordered as well to. As forgot how few were going to be.

Hi @SteamingWales,

 

Too late for a Manor Accura exclusive regrettably, but we will certainly line one up for run 2. Production is back up and running and due to be completed in the coming weeks, and we can't wait!

 

Cheers!

Most likely was you spoke to at Warley. Still got to email for a suggestion for the next run. But then Bias being Ditcheat Manor :P Due to links and spending 15 so years of childhood in the village.

Can't wait for Bradley to arrive though and then most likely some more Manor orders.

Like the Technics powered station announcement system you have. Very nice for the layout room.

Thank you. The Technics stuff is fantastic :)

Although only one of the packs shown. Am incredibly impressed with the coaches. Over the weekend since not in work will get the whole set out. 
 

Have to say by far the best UK coaches and as said previously on par/ better then the Trix IC2/IC coaches. 

My own Low lander packs to Edinburgh just arrived. Incredibly impressed with how they are. On Par if not better then the Trix IC2 and IC Coaches.

The packaging is great and shall be testing lighting etc on them when it's a bit more darker to.

Managed to give my 92 a test at last after having the Flu nicely over New Year so those plans changed from going away to bed.

Either way here's a quick video. 

Came about a hour ago. 
 

Although I haven’t yet tested it. I am mega impressed by the model and the packaging with it.
 

For the UK stuff is by far the best for modern imagine. Also by looks on par with the Piko 101 as well. 
 

Look more forward to the coaches and the Manor when it comes.

And indeed they have.An electric loco to match the quality of,for instance,Roco. Arrived this morning. I dare not reveal what I actually paid for it . Let’s just say I’m unlikely ever again to achieve such an astounding bargain.

IMHO the best current electric model in OO by a country mile

 

Although still waiting on my 92. From what see are at least on par on the HO EU Models. Looks like they exceed Trix (Marklin) Also most likely do on the more recent Piko models such as the 101. 

Oh i know how much those models are. Tempted by another Kettle or a LS Models Vectron.

Thanks for the Update. Looking forward to 92010 and the Caledonian Mark 5s when they come. Be a good thing to come back to after New Year away and Holiday time from work.

Spoke with Accurascale and was told the 92's are being flown in for arrival Monday assuming all goes well. Saw the models in the case, very excited now! 

Like wise when spoke to them to.

Mark 5's (Sleepers) estimated about 1/2 weeks time as well to.

Did like the samples of the Manors & Hornby Mag stand did have Bradley to. 

Look forward to what ever the announcement may be. Most likely a normal version for Lion?

To get silly, New HST power cars all singing and dancing or Jason has purchased a HST Powercar and exporting to Canada somehow.

If we're doing serious guesses I reckon a GWR 4-6-0 that isn't a Manor.

 

No peeping.....

 

 

 

 

 

Jason

Wouldn't put it past Hornby to do a Manor though :/

Either way, another one for going forward from 8pin sockets, so to enable more features for Diesel/Electric also potential for Steam to.

If EMU's. Something Scottish, 385,334, 303 etc.

My sound fitted variant came today. Gorgeous model, will get some photos with the P3 coaches have as well. 
 

hopefully some more Caledonian locos and stock comes to.

just called them to check all in hand as I'd changed versions (it is, phew!) and hopefully those ordered in 2018 will be despatched today or Monday. Can't wait!! Thanks @Gordon Connell for the photos, what a stunner.

Just did the same as well for me and said, should hopefully be today. As did go from Normal preserved to the sound one from the order in 2018.

Chris

Got a email reply back from them, Advising to phone to order.

Have though now ordered the Sound Fitted version of Bradley Manor, whilst i was on break at work. Suitable due to it's based being a 10 min walk for me.

Got some of the GNR for my birthday from my brother. Not yet tested the lights yet though. 
 

look the part with the single. 

Got my one today as a Birthday Present from my other half. Since she couldn’t give it to me in person (Woo lockdown birthday 2.0)

Of course one of the Scottish region ones. Tempted to get sound for it to.

I am sure it is hidden in the nearly 50 pages of speculation, but does anyone know what nominal time the announcement is on Tuesday ?

 

Thanks.

Would imagine about 9am normally isn't it?

I’ld love to see home produced models instead of relying on Chinese factories. When will we cut ties with this dodgy country, never I suspect not in my lifetime probably.

Problem with that, i could see majority of people complaining about the cost of models then. Just ordered another German Roco steamer just north of €360 but is made is Austria though, but the higher price will have to be paid for UK built models.
