Southernman46 Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 (edited) Looking forward to running these on the never knowingly photographed / recorded summer-only 33-hauled Aldershot to Fareham via Alton & Winchester services in the mid 70's 😉 Does this mean a Class 501 might break cover soon ? 🙏 There was the mention of 4 units in development on another AS topic 😁 Edited July 12 by Southernman46 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in fact with several LMR locos available (including the recently announced Rapido S160) you can justify them...

Even if unassembled (if the mistake was caught early enough), the bodyshells would be ideal for bashing into a myriad of other prototypes. The Nim.

rorz101uk Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 It’s a really shame about the delay of the BR Crimson! But it helps me to budget later on it the year 🙏🏻 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accurascale staff Popular Post Accurascale Fran Posted July 15 Author Accurascale staff Popular Post Share Posted July 15 Hi everyone, We do love making our "complete trains"; motive power and stock. It was always something we felt was missing in the British market, and something continentals do rather well. We started with our Class 92 and Mark 5 sleepers, Mark 2b and 2c and Class 50s, various wagons and locos to match (still a work in progress in some areas!) and of course, these and our Class 31s. The finished article always ends up looking the part... Excited yet??? Cheers! Fran 29 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much easier to add than remove... Diversion / Just catching up and apologies for the OT 5-month back-track, but this comment reminded me of Bachmann's Mark 1 BSK W34885 (39-079B): The application of chalking panels to this model was unfortunate because W34885 lasted until well into 1968 in Chocolate and Cream livery, but had lost the chalking panels way before then (if it ever had them). I saw this vehicle passing through Truro 56 years ago today (Monday) as it happens, and this model would have been an automatic purchase, but the difficulty in removing those chalking panels and restoring both livery colours and the lining meant renumbering an older 39-079 instead was considerably easier. / Diversion Ends! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My forthcoming tripcock-fitted Brush Type 2 won't have anything to haul until those arrive. I'm pretty sure all the Crimson suburbans were gone before D5615 received its yellow panel. I do have Hornby L1's available to pair with Crimson suburbans though. The Nim. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone else remember when Tri-ang Hornby thought crudely moulding one-piece coach interiors in inappropriate colours such as sky blue and white was good enough? This suddenly makes that bygone era feel considerably more bygone........best to not think about that too much and just admire the decor 😉! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
