Oh b@gger

Definitely not us / HTG - you will get full, regular accurascale tracking alerts and links when we ship.

OK thanks - I'm now sorted with no financial impact

That's good to read. Some of these scams can be very convincing :(

Had notification too.  I can’t wait to get my hands on my first Accurascale Class 37. The foto on the other page with the box looks amazing.

You won't be disappointed, mine has just arrived, and what a model it is.

You're welcome to post some of mine from the main AS 37 thread and my Part Deux thread. Here's another one...

Was hoping to pick up another for a renumber but see the ones AS made available went very quick, oh well I'm sure it won't be the last 37/7 they release! Nice picture of 37893 in the back of the booklet........(892 yes please)

I was a bit concerned about the stories of packaging, and when i saw it I was extra concerned - but the model box, and model itself are pristine. Lovely!

 

Didn't realise it was a numbered limited edition, so that was a nice bonus.

Mine too arrived today, and what an absolute beauty it is!

 

One end even has the horizontal bars in the front circular grilles modelled from 37714, impressive attention to detail even if it means my cheeky reworking project just got a touch more complicated 😂

Superb stuff, and like others, I wish I had the hindsight to order more than one - roll on some more ‘Heavyweights’ sometime soon!

What a lovely growler I have.

 

Beautiful model - knocked it out the park again, chaps, and hopefully a decent bit of help for the HTG. Curiously I ordered D6700 before there was word on the HTG taking it under their wing so I have a matching set!

Mine is on the way. Huzzah! There was an issue so I was right to be concerned, but many thanks to Accurascale and Andy from The Heavy Tractor Group for the swift resolution.

I look forward to seeing what all the fuss is!

I have fond memories of the heavyweights fresh out of Crewe and doing their test runs along the coast whilst holidaying in Llandudno in the mid to late eighties.

Finally got my hands on my one #214, so an ok number. One sandpipe had threaded itself over the bogie somehow, but that's been fixed. Model is all fine, no damage to the loco or packaging and with all the instructions and history leaflets, but I'll definitely say the box it got delivered in was ridiculously big!

 

Thanks @Accurascale Fran @McC and the HTG for this lovely model, she was definitely worth the wait! Now to play trains to see the performance
