Apparently according to Hattons, the Accurascale manor doesn't have a whistle, tender handbrake, pipework...... or any pickups...!

Not much of a model then, BUT certainly doesn't appear to be reflecting the EPs we have seen on this thread :-p

Clever people at Accurascale. I wonder how they manage without pickups. All the same, I’ll stick with my Bachmann (Mainline derived) Manor. Apparently, both new ones have domes. 🤦‍♂️

When you said you were getting a racehorse from those nice Accurascale people this wasn’t quite what I imagined…,

Should have Two Whistles IIRC, so they (Hattons) must be bonkers.

A N Idjut.

Hi @Hilux5972,

 

You will be delighted to know that the sound fitted model is currently with Hornby Magazine who will be filming it for a full update video. So, watch this space as they say.

 

Cheers!

 

Fran 

Fantastic to hear. Thanks Fran.

Its a good pose for your Accurafolk crew on the footplate of your Manors too

 

Maybe Modelu will be doing a set for it as they've done with their Deltic.

Needs two firemans shovels one with bacon and egg on it.............they have to eat......

and to secure them on the footplate theres a good idea with magnets here

When does the next magazine drop? My thoughts would be it will appear around then jointly with a feature/update on the Manor 

 

Happy to be corrected/told otherwise though

You might be right - next Hornby mag is on sale from 7 July.  Subscribers may get it slightly earlier.

Clearly I’m guessing…. But I would also add that as well as the sounds details, there must be news soon about the production run….. or maybe that they are ready to be shipped…..

 

Speculation on my part of course 😎

Do we know by whom and where the sound instal will be effected? I am imagining the hardware to be factory fitted, with the electronics and quality checks in the West, but that is very much subject to confirmation by those who really know these things.

 

Call me old fashioned, but my logic circuit needs to hear this wonderful beast before ordering. I trust my approach will not result in missing out!

 

Waiting, breath well and truly baited!

 

Bill

 

 

 

Still haven't figured out how to include highlighted @soandso text yet!

Hi Bill

 

The sound project has been recorded and programmed by ESU and our in house team (Jamie Goodman) and runs a LokSound V5 with Stay Alive and dual speakers as standard. 
 

we have some lovely video being processed and will be providing a comprehensive update of all the final tweaks and perfections we’ve been putting to the model and outline the timeline to delivery shortly. (Not long now!)
