This as well. I would happily pay £10-15 for a set of buffer beams and an extra detailing pack for display purposes. Great idea. 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Matt C Posted June 20, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 20, 2022 Went to the DHL hub near me to collect 9004 sound version ( what ? I'm not trusting some scruffy delivery driver to drop it at the wriong address ! ;-) After a longish delay the young lady came out and apologised profusely as she had been unable to find my parcel. 😵 The code in the tracking information on her system was telling her to look for. . . . A large Letter ! Luckily she was quickly followed out by a strapping young ladd lugging a great big box 🤗 Now how can I get rid of Teh Mrs for an hour. .

RMweb Gold beejack Posted June 20, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 20, 2022 Just been running Meld for a while and trying out the functions. Is it just me or on the sound fitted deltics does F5 drive hold not work? I was expecting it to hold the speed of the loco whilst allowing the throttle to change the engine tone up or down like the drive lock on LegomanBiffo sound files. But regardless of whether F5 is selected or not the loco still speeds up and slows down with the throttle. 1 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accurascale D9016 - by James Makin by James Makin - Account 2, on Flickr My throbbing purple package arrived today and while I had all my photo gear set up, couldn't resist running it through to show what a beauty D9016 turned out to be! Accurascale D9016 - by James Makin by James Makin - Account 2, on Flickr Opening up the giant Purple box you get the now-standard Accurascale feeling that is akin to unwrapping a new iPhone, the soft-touch packaging giving way to a well-wrapped model encased in plastic and foam, together with some reading material and full set of headcode swaps if needed. Everything is intact and perfect, and really pleased with the fit and quality of finish, incredible stuff. The model itself is absolutely gorgeous and I've got to say, it's the first time I've had that truly 'blown-away' feeling of unwrapping an RTR loco since the Hornby Class 60 back in 2005, not one loco release has equalled that feeling in 17 years, until now! Accurascale D9016 - by James Makin by James Makin - Account 2, on Flickr I bought D9016 as a fondly-remembered colour scheme from my favourite modelling era, and having long had plans to do a Bachmann version, the Accurascale announcement came at just the right time to avoid taking on a big makeover challenge! The loco didn't work all that many trains in its famous purple colours, but it did do a few railtours, I couldn't resist posing it in front of an old Hatchett Mk1, squint and it's almost there 🤣 Accurascale D9016 - by James Makin by James Makin - Account 2, on Flickr Then a shot with one of my old 37 fleet showing the EE lineage...hopefully it won't be long before both of these locos will be Accurascale ones! Accurascale D9016 - by James Makin by James Makin - Account 2, on Flickr Overall it's a truly astounding model that just has so much detail to observe and take in, everywhere you look. My current favourite feature is the beautiful footsteps, nicely moulded with see-through tread, mind blowing! Accurascale D9016 - by James Makin by James Makin - Account 2, on Flickr Huge, huge congratulations to the Accurascale guys for getting this over the line and I can't wait to have a bit of fun taking this from box-fresh to in-service condition, and looking forward to seeing what's around the corner! Cheers, James Best photos so far - thanks 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Matt C Posted June 20, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 20, 2022 (edited) Unboxed for a quick visual check over. 'plain Jane' 9004 is a thing of beauty with great detail. Paintwork is fine, crisp, no marks or blemishes. As with others, three 'teeny tiny' pieces loose in the packaging which I can hardly see, let alone stick back on and as mine is for running not display the 'bits' will be left of and stored safely in the packaging. Two chains hanging loose on the bogies so I might just pop em all off and store them as well. Otherwise almost a certainty with my rough handling they will 'ping off' into never never land 😆 All in all a stunning model which I can't wait to get running and hear the ROAR Great Job Accurascale and a big thumbs up from me 👌 Edited June 20, 2022 by Matt C Typo 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRDBLUE17 Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 I’m not sure what all the excitement about the Deltic is? I mean it looks nice and sounds really good but… The class 31 will be much better, there were far more of them and they went to Barrow so they must be better? Right?

Cheers, 60800 When you get the DHL notification email you should see the option to track or change your delivery option. One of the options is to collect from the Hub yours is being delivered from. You then get to choose a day for collection, from 8AM to 8 PM. Be warned though, they DO say that if you don't collect on that chosen day they will return the parcel. It means you arent having to wait in for a delivery and can collect anytime in that 12 hour period AND your not getting it chucked about in a small Van 🤪 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
