The online system will take full payment immediately for all orders, but if it’s not going to be in stock within 28 days they’ll refund you the payment (somewhere between immediately and a few days later) and then charge you once the item is in stock.

Hi, If you ring the number on the website, you can order immediately and then pay either when the item is ready for dispatch from the Warehouse or when you go in to collect it from either the Camborne or Guildford shop, depending on what option you decide to take.

Clarkey77 Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Hello. This looks great but I need to ask one thing first, something that I did ask you about when the N gauge one broke cover but unfortunately, never received a reply. Here goes: Will the roof remain the colour it is in the photos above, or will it become a light grey like the Revolution Trains version in N? The one above looks like a much closer representation to the real thing than the N gauge one, however, I was advised by RT that their lighter grey was correct and as per the colour spec received from Stobart, themselves. It seems strange that the OO version by Accurascale should then be different given both are Kernow Ltd editions. Different colour specs between manufacturers, perhaps? Revolution 92 (2mm scale) https://www.kernowmodelrailcentre.com/p/65673/N92017-Revolution-Trains-Class-92-Electric-Locomotive-Stobart Accurascale 92 (4mm scale) https://www.kernowmodelrailcentre.com/n/120/Kernow-Model-Rail-Centre--announce-Exclusive-Accurascale-00-gauge-Class-92-in-Stobart-Rail-livery-as-92017-‘Bart-the-Engine’ I'm not complaining about the price, but I would like to know before ordering as I don't particularly want to have to respray a brand new model like I would have had to do with the N gauge version, which is why I passed on it.

Thanks for your time, Paul, An avid Stobart collector I would beg to differ on this one, for me the Accurascale roof is too dark. Lighting makes a big difference, but here the roof looks much lighter than near black: https://flic.kr/p/dSYqZm (not my photo) Roy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium amwells Posted November 4, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 4, 2021 Looking at a few photos, could it be that the roof above the cab is black, and the roof above the body side is the same body side blue? As shown here (not my photo): https://www.flickriver.com/photos/18317144@N04/50453492607/ The whole roof seems to weather to a similar colour in other photos (which ironically looks almost like the original RfD blue), eg (also not my photo) 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Accurascale Fran Posted November 4, 2021 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 4, 2021 Hi everyone, We have confirmation from the man who was responsible for selecting 017 for the Stobart paint job in the first place that the roof is black. A well wisher who works in the IEMD where it is now based has checked for us and confirms we are correct. I believe also that the roof on the Stobart 66s was also black? Certainly my model of Eddie the Engine is too? Black can be quite reflective with light direct on it, especially on sunny days. Hope this helps but we're sure we have it correct. Cheers!

Hippel Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 In the original post it refers to the loco being operated by DRS. I thought it had always been EWS/DB? It certainly had beasty stickers on it when I had it for haulage in the summer of 2019. Paul. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
