RMweb Gold Popular Post Accurascale Fran Posted June 30, 2022 RMweb Gold Popular Post Share Posted June 30, 2022 NEW ANNOUNCEMENT: We Release The Badger Into the Wild in OO! Hi everyone, Remember when we asked about doing the Class 89 alongside Rails of Sheffield a couple of years ago? Well, now we can formally confirm that it's going ahead! What's more, you can order any one of its five different guises in DC/DCC Ready or DCC Sound form either via Rails of Sheffield or direct via Accurascale. This very special, one off locomotive deserves the highest specification, and this gets it with DCC raising and lowering pantograph, full light packages, a wealth of detail, heavy metal chassis, Accurathrash set up for sound fitted models, power bank capacitors and more! CAD is now complete and it has entered the early stages of tooling. The first tooled sample is expected in time for the Warley show in November 2022, with decorated samples following in early 2023 and then delivery slated for Q3 2023. Orders can be secured via the Accurascale and Rails of Sheffield websites for just a £30 deposit, with prices for the DCC Ready version priced at £229.99, and the DCC sound ESU Loksound 5 fitted models £329.99, reflecting the limited nature of this very special release. Read all about the development and history here: https://www.accurascale.com/blogs/news/accurascale-and-rails-of-sheffield-sett-to-it-by-releasing-class-89-badger-oo-locomotive-into-the-wild Pre-order all five livery variants (flexible terms available from Accurascale at no extra cost!) here: https://www.accurascale.com/collections/class-89 or via Rails of Sheffield: www.railsofsheffield.com Cheers! Fran (We are aware that this breaks with our tradition of "announcing with tooling sample". As this is a one off locomotive both Rails and Accurascale feel it's important to gauge interest in a one-off locomotive and an update is long overdue!) 23 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HExpressD Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Looks pretty good and I hope it can be pulled off. Quite a jump up in price from the Deltics although I suppose this is to be expected when you can only make 5 versions which is hardly AS' fault. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold PaulRhB Posted June 30, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 30, 2022 (edited) Jolly good! I assume Rails will be in touch about expressions of interest or do we need to just order it separately? Got the email and ordered! :) Edited June 30, 2022 by PaulRhB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And still the same price as a Hornby or Bachmann new release. Something I'll almost certainly have but I am going to wait and see what happens with it going onto the mainline. Also, I thought it was 2020 it got painted into Swallow? Wasn't it sat in primer for a while? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Patriot87003 Posted June 30, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 30, 2022 Great news … and just pre-ordered the IC Executive livery for running along the WCML!

aeroplane Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Please could someone tell me the lighting arrangement 89s have for night time running? Did they have 3 lights down each side or 3 down the left and 2 down the right? Hopefully this makes sense! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium E100 Posted June 30, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 30, 2022 Fantastic looking model. I’m unfortunately going to have to sit this one out. The understandable price increase pushes this out of rule 1 territory for me. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Steven B Posted June 30, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 30, 2022 Quote Hall sensor for flange squeal effect (on DCC Sound-fitted models only) It'll be interesting to see how this works. Does this functionality require mounting magnets at the points we'd like flange squeal to occur? Or are the magnets mounted on the bogies with the sensor monitoring the movement in the bogie. Is it likely to get triggered by magnets in other locos, uncouplers of even the pulse from a point motor? Steven B. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
