Hopefully something that fits my late 80’s theme would be smashing! Does the McC thumbs up indicated that it will be late 80s theme? Late 60s to early 70s, pre TOPS would be better. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoomer1979 Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 So who has the bogie footsteps correct, Bachmann or Accurascale? The ones on the Accurascale are very prominent and look out of gauge, presumably just on the pre production samples, are these correct? Neil. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am sure you can make an educated opinion when the 37 production sample photos and videos are shared next week Worth a mention that all three steps on our model is an individually fitted etch with full see-thru grid 👍 Edited February 25, 2023 by McC 9 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting really good weathering on one of these is going to be an intersting challebge in view of teh way it changed the look of the green in different ways. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe that it goes: 37/0 Car Headlight and 37/4 in 1st lot. 37/6 & Network Rail. Most excited about the 37/6 in Compass. Got something so wrong, but beautiful for them to pull.... 37/0 as built last. Edited March 1, 2023 by Torbay Express Extra comment 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice one for a chuckle. But Accurascale, while obviously closely associated with IRM, is a British registered company that paid £376,250 in taxes etc to the British Govt in 2021 (its most recent accounts). It is therefore rather helpful of them to pay a few bob, sorry pence, towards my prescriptions. So we really do put some in and we get some back from them. We'd get even more back with a WR RSH built EE Type 3 (in case they missed my previous plea request ‼️) 6 1 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Fran Fair enough, that's pretty offensive Fran. I thought you were referring to Kev's post on Dean Park that MCC responded to (which also touched on the nationality question but with a much different angle). If that's really what was written about the 66, then that's totally out of order. Guy Edited March 1, 2023 by lyneux 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was quite shocked to see it but it’s the world we live in I guess. Appreciate the concern and fair play to come out to bat for your friend Kev but it wasn’t the comment I was referring to.

RMweb Gold 97406 Posted March 2, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 2, 2023 I was thinking “That shouldn’t take long” then I thought on at the sheer number of different prototypes modelled in the first batch! We’re nearly there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
