I was simply trying to establish an answer to a thought I had personally and McC’s answer was perfectly acceptable and I don’t have any problems with the model For the record I have two Accurascale 37s on order and one Bachmann, I like both for different reasons. Yes, I work for Kernow one day a week, but just stop trying to use that to discredit my personal opinions and views. Simon It’s a question I’d pondered too - thanks for asking it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, They do, but it has been discussed before on this thread the Accurascale 37s, I’m led to believe, are now sold out on Pre-Order and have been taken off the website.

RMweb Gold RedgateModels Posted October 20, 2022 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 20, 2022 29 minutes ago, Torbay Express said: I was just pointing out a fact, and being supportive to solve your problem. You made the flange squeal sound, sound ike a catastrophe! Not trying to discredit, but previous posts 'personal opinions' have been very pro Barwell and K, as though you like to suck-hole upto your 'masters' to gain 'brownie points'. Just my thoughts.... anyone who has actually met Simon would know this is complete tosh. Simon raised a valid point that those with tight curves throughout their layout might worry about a squealing tractor most of the way around the layout - which would get tiring very quickly. A/S have confirmed that it can be tuned, or even turned off by CV adjustment in response. Surely this is enough? 8 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have pre-ordered 37043 (sound) from there a bit back. As well as the automated email responses confirming the order I also got one from Mike acknowledging and confirming the pre-order which was a bit of extra piece of mind. https://cmmodels.7.ekm.shop/class-37-diesel-566-c.asp Are we still waiting for the news/update this week? It's Friday tomorrow 🙂 Hi @Rockhopper, Typing as fast as I can! Will have it tomorrow. I missed out on 043 myself. Gutted! I hope there will be one left in the warehouse, but we always prioritise our customers first. Cheers! Fran 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be an interesting thing to know what % (or any other metric) of employees at model railway manufacturers across the UK are into it themselves. I manage a (design) engineering team at work, and I always look for those who are an engineer by state of mind rather than engineer by job. I expect in most industries (where possible) it is massively beneficial to have team members who are genuinely interested in the subject, work and/or fruits of the labour beyond making money. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our philosophy has been to recruit the best possible talent to aid our mission who are also passionate about model railways. So far only one person, Marie in accounts, doesn’t personally collect or build so our ratio is good :) if you don’t have a passion for it, you certainly wouldnt do it for the money and plaudits 😄 13 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is in Musk's case, I aren't sure anyone is a collector of electric cars yet. He did (and still does) however a very good job of collecting money. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accurascale staff McC Posted October 21, 2022 Accurascale staff Share Posted October 21, 2022 (edited) As a general ‘warning klaxon’ we would recommend dropping your email into the ‘email me if this becomes available’ box on any sold out items. As balances invoices are raised and tides move there is always a trickle of models available once stock Is sorted and dispatched so there is always a chance to grab models (still at the original price) shortly after stock physically lands if you are quick!
