Fran/Stephen - Do the Railsofsheffields/Locomotion/DPS exclusive models go directly to them or do they all come via A/S HQ for sorting? Everything will head to our (new) depot outside Birmingham and be checked and shipped from there. Not long now! 3 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazil31 Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Two of mine will have to go more North (Sheffield and Shildon) before coming back down to me in the southwest I suppose. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s also an indication that Accurascale are no longer new kids on the block,prepared to invest in new infrastructure to move a vibrant and obviously thriving venture forward. A tonic to the many friends made in just 4 years since the day some Irish guys surfaced at Rails selling wagons and we asked…who on earth ? It’s also a wake up call to the competition….should they actually need one by now. 1 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who’s to say their new warehouse isn’t a mate’s lock-up with space to load a delivery van… But seriously, everything I’ve bought from AS so far has arrived quickly even here in Portugal so whatever their delivery arrangements are, they work and that’s what matters. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodenhead Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 I thought that all that building around Curzon St was for HS2. Didn't realise it was the Accurascale UK distribution centre springing up 1 1 1 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There may well be some cancelled orders coming up. I ordered a DCC ready purple version and managed to get it swapped for a DCC sound version last week. Use the email alert on the order page or drop Accurascale an email. Good luck 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No big secret, we’ve moved in below, right beside major national wide distribution depots for the largest couriers. We’re hoping to offer in time, a same day model delivery option as a result ;) for when you’ve just absolutely got to have your locomotive that day!

RMweb Gold Ian Hargrave Posted May 15, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 15, 2022 So then,”getting there”…..to a built up redeveloped part of SE Birmingham . If driving,satnav essential (I don’t have..must get.) Motorway access from M6 ,nearest junction is Spaghetti Junction then Aston Expressway onto ring road eastward connecting with A 45 Coventry Road to Tyseley area.From M42 north or south (avoiding M6) exit NEC …….beloved of Warley Show ….onto A45 in opposite direction. M42 North the two earlier exits will also be available to get you there…..particularly useful if using the M40 and M5 . Or….use the train from Snow Hill to Tyseley and get a taxi….or walk if fit. Or…..fly to Birmingham Airport airport and get a taxi. Reasonably but not that close. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you guys happen to know the dimentions as so far the draws in the loft for the railway are spot on for wagons,and the boxes that you post in split and protect the floor as its varnished to keep it nice. Your keeping some under the floor boards ? Hmm now thats one area of the house Ive not yet used… 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
