      Ouch, it has fallen on my lap, thankfully not near the important stuff and I was wearing trousers at the time!

      What do you normally wear when soldering then?

      Gotta be TTA's. At £25 a wagon it's well under the competition and the current models are in need of updating.

      Think RCH, think very long production runs, think a constant money stream.  You know it makes sense.

    "Ah but Accurascale haven't delivered a loco yet." Well, now we have. 🙂

      I was wondering if the top of the bodyside black or dark grey and what colour the roof was on both 56's and 66's?

    3. big jim

      big jim

      its black, actually jarvis black, available from railmatch

    4. Accurascale Fran

      Brilliant, same for the roof?

      So you made a friend but they became an enemy over money?

    Just finished typing up the press release for our latest model announcement this weekend. Let's hope nobody breaks the embargo this time....

    1. woodenhead

      woodenhead

      Doubtless Hornby will claim it as one of theirs, so you have 8 months to bring this one to market - just in time for Christmas :)

    2. Accurascale Fran

      Accurascale Fran

      Luckily this is out a bit sooner than 8 months time! :) 

    3. woodenhead

      woodenhead

      I think your embargo is still safe as you did say this one isn't a loco but perhaps there is someone else maybe hoping to make an announcement, a well known retailer has dropped an image of a loco somewhere on their webpage which goes to a wishlist.

      Is there any particular significance in today being a bank holiday.

    2. Tim V

      Tim V

      The proper August Bank Holiday, you Irish are so lucky ...

    3. Accurascale Fran

      Accurascale Fran

      The first weekend in August is always a bank holiday here BoD. No more now till October!

  13. Accurascale Fran

    Can anyone explain the 'opening the box of my new such and such loco' videos on youtube? Bizarre!

    1. james-htfc

      james-htfc

      I can understand people doing reviews but when half the time is spent unpacking an item with shoddy camera work and in poor light then it really is pointless!

      It's because they can.

    Well that turned into a very busy Monday. :O

    Installing wire grab irons is a pain in the behind!

      You're meant to install them on the model not yourself...

      Icould insert a rude joke here about someone getting better access but I'll take the higher ground!

    Anyone know what paints are suitable for a repaint of a HNRC Class 37?

      I have already asked in the weathering, painting and transfers section a few days ago.
