RMweb Gold 97406 Posted June 4, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 4, 2023 It's also good to remember that the delays with the product also mean delays with the business's revenue. It's a massive outlay to have to wait this long to recoup your investment. 1 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However , one thing A/S never fail to do is dissapoint , rather like Heljan but for different reasons . ( No one is going to argue with that last bit are they ? 😆 ) I'm going for the Bachmann version as its here ! Yes , it is more expensive, yes , the sound quality is inferior but I can sort that out . In my line of work , rightly or wrongly , people will go elsewhere at the drop of a hat if they don't get what they want be it fixing a dripping tap or a full central heating system. No use telling them it'll be worth the wait . No use trying to lecture them about the terrible things happening in the world . No one gives a poop I'm afraid . Its not right but thats how it is . Albie I'll tell you one thing Albie - when you've been waiting decades for a really top notch WR 'as delivered' version of an EE Type 3 another year or so isn't going to make much difference 👀. Don't fiorget the first one that some of us got our hands on didn't even have the right bogies. 7 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't fiorget the first one that some of us got our hands on didn't even have the right bogies. Personally Mike , I'm not so sure about that. Seems like an eternity to me . A WR , centre headcode blue /green loco is still some way off . Bachmann have seen that gaping hole in the market and are about to deliver the goods . We all know about the price advantages and undoubted quality of the A/S version not to mention the superb sound qualities. I'll no doubt have one in my fleet one day but for now , I'm going to buy what's currently available which is still a great model in its own right . No tantrums here 👍 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or to put it another way, the longer it takes, the more it will have to cost if the company is to stay in business producing more new models. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sad to say that you come across as entirely devoid of humour. I’m a northerner, the only humour I do is dry, but sadly your posts just come across as impatient and angry. A bit of levity would work wonders. 2 8 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium ERIC ALLTORQUE Posted June 4, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 4, 2023 Good lord,all this over a model loco,why??? if you cancel it fine,and the comparing it to your line of work?? if Accurascale did central heating systems i doubt you would have work,at your age there must have been times you have not got things and its beyond your control. Theres one Accurascale,and by your own addmission they are as good as it gets for a 37,cancel,miss out,you loose out,but non of this has humour,just a rude rant as your not getting what you want.Why would you think Accurascale deserve that,or anyone here would care.Give over. 7 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Type 2 Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 @Albie the plumber you really need to get a grip and give yourself a good shake. Don't blame your impatience on your Italian decent, it's just your plain nature, that is nothing more than an insult to those with Italian blood, myself included. And your comment about being in your 'white van' on the streets just says that you come across as a very unpleasant person. If you came to my house to fix a plumbing issue with your attitude, you'd be out on the street on your @rse in a second. Go have your rant at the crash scene in India, or the drone attack sites in Ukraine, and tell them you cant help it because you are of Italian descent. I'm sure they'll have lots of sympathy for you, after all, your problems are much worse than theirs. These are toy trains, not important to anyone apart from AS who have invested vast sums in this model. Grow up 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodenhead Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 @Type 2 Woah there, I don't think @Albie the plumber has come across as any sort of awful person to deserve your comment and why drag the train crash or Ukraine into it, he certainly hasn't as far as I am aware. I'm Italian heritage too and I saw nothing to be insulted by, all he's done is given some opinions. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob D2 Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 If I was one of the accurascale folk , I'd look at this thread and say - " Tis too much trouble , stepping back from interaction .." Delays are frustrating , but I don't think it's due to the manufacturers - rather a unique set of problems that began about covid time . On the flip side , I'm irritated by any of the " your problems ain't as big as the worlds " posse - 1st world problems etc etc . Everyone has their own raft of frustrations and dreams - petty or not to the next person it may seem at times 1 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albie To be fair to Albie I sometimes don't think Accurascale help themselves as while their timescales and we all understand this are given in good faith just recently there has been some slippage. That is to say we are told there will be an update on something this week but slips into next or that the next batch of 37's are due Friday but its the following Friday etc. Maybe they should be a little more vague with the timescales and we can all cut them some slack too. The models will be here when they get here unless you can get out and give the boat a push! 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ghost of IKB Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 All this incessant moaning is a bore. Some on here act as if accura are alone in having delays or as if they deliberately delay models to annoy us. Personally after theyve read the past 2 pages of petulent twaddle i wouldnt blame them if they did! Now can we please get back to name calling, i was enjoying that bit, Big Nose! 4 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
