He does drive for GBRf after all, although he may not be passed on the 92s. (And may not want to be immortalised in plastic on hundreds of layouts!) I think Big Jim has already been scanned. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewB7585 Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Am I right in thinking Q3 is July-September? If so I think we are looking more at September for the 92s. I can’t wait!! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, July to September, we shared painted body shells a week or so back, and will soon have more assembled models to share, and we're on course for August shipping.

AndrewB7585 Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Just a quick question for Fran. I noticed that Revolution put the sun visor on their model. I know you guys worked together at an early stage in this project. Will you have the sun visor on your model? No problem if not (I’ve ordered three already) but would be a cool little detail. 4 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted July 3, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 3, 2022 On 30/06/2022 at 14:00, Michael Hodgson said: I believe they had to have a travelling fitter on board when the Queen & François Mitterand opened the Chunnel, just to sit there continually pressing the reset button throughout the trip! That was with 373s - and they weren't fitters but tech experts with laptops. For the Class 92 trials you'd need 3 or 4 people in the cab for some of the tests and 2 or 3 for others such as the WCML tests north of Crewe. Some parts of the Class 92 testing were attended by far greater hilarity than happened with the 373s although the real humdinger was with the night stock trials train when someone set off with it towards the wrong country and it had to be 'recaptured'.

RMweb Gold Popular Post Accurascale Fran Posted July 6, 2022 Author RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted July 6, 2022 Hi everyone, One of our decorated samples is starring in a new bookazine on detailing British Railway locos of the 1990s (Don't want to plug it too much as it's a rival publishing company and I don't fancy @AY Mod's boot up my ass)! They used it for a weathering and renumbering feature and very kindly sent me on pics of the final result to share. The excellent weathering was done by @James Makin of this parish. So, allow me to share (and remember it's a first sample, the finished models will be much improved in fit and finish). Cheers! Fran 15 2 6 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

aeroplane Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 (edited) That weathering looks fantastic and the sun visor thingamajigs are wonderful What will everyone be running their 92 with? As I am also getting some 37s, me 92s will be used to ferry my 37s up the main line so they can start their railtours. Behind the locos will be a mixed wagonload rake where anything goes!

GBRF 90020 on ECML based layout so about all they prototypically do. 92032 had an outing pulling mk2s at the weekend between Newcastle and Kings Cross though. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fran I knew you would have this covered. I’ve got the Deltic and it’s my new favourite model but I’m looking forward to the class 92 even more. The station announcements on the Deltic are pretty cool. Will these be a feature on other Accurascale DCC sound projects?
