Provision for sound and DCC is via a 21Pin MTX Socket.

 

The Exclusive model is priced at £189.99 for DCC ready https://www.kernowmodelrailcentre.com/p/70691/K2692-Accurascale-Class-92-Electric-Locomotive-92-017-Stobart

Graham Muspratt, Development Manager, said: “Having already produced ‘Bart the Engine” as a KMRC Exclusive N gauge model earlier this year, it was a logical step to work with Accurascale to bring this distinctive livery to 00 gauge via their all new high specification model.”

Rang up this afternoon and ordered mine with sound and didn’t have to pay a deposit 

 

cheers Craig 

Cheers, on the website it takes you to the checkout and says "pay £289.99", I am pretty sure it won't take the money straight away.

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.

Orders placed online for 'out of stock' or new items yet to be released, which cannot be guaranteed to be supplied within 28 days, are charged at the time of the online order and then refunded and the items placed on back order. You will be charged again for the items once they are either imminent or in stock.


If you wish to place a pre order for 'out of stock' or new items yet to be released without your card being charged and refunded then please ring us on 01209 714099 to place an order then we will not charge until ready to despatch, but you still need to provide your payment details.

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?

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,

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:

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):

The whole roof seems to weather to a similar colour in other photos (which ironically looks almost like the original RfD blue), eg 

Red Bank 92017

(also not my photo)

It’s definitely one of those colours that looks different in every photo but we have confirmation of the colour from the very chap who specified it for the loco :)

Well that link seems to prove both are wrong!

With respect, that is exactly what RevolutioN said and theirs is a different colour. I am beginning to think somebody doesn't really know ;)

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!

Hi Fran,

 

Did you click the link in @amwellspost above? That is a photo I had not seen before and tells a different story, Certainly the cab rooves look to be black - as for the rest definitely not.

Edit: Pretty much ex-works and a blue roof.

I see a glossy black roof with the sky reflected in it?

As an aside, DRS 66s can look to be dark blue all over depending on light, but they have a black roof too.

Is the plan for these to be delivered at the same time as the rest of the Accurascale class 92’s? wonder how the box will be decorated


Perhaps instead of a normal box, they will come in a model Tesco container (a 7mm scale container would be good).
