RMweb Premium Banger Blue Posted June 28 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 28 (edited) I think this livery appeared on a Hornby release but if it appeared either as an exclusive or tie in with one of the service charities or even for inclusion in run 2, I would certainly be tempted: 60040 “The Territorial Army Centenary” (seen here at Didcot - my photo) I know 60021 already appears in GBRF livery but I’d like to see it released in its previous Colas livery, I had a chance to ‘cab’ it when it visited Reading TCD for fuel.

Meld Have to admit, I would have thought 60006 'Scunthorpe Ironmaster' would have been a better sales bet, given Hornby only ever did 60033 (R3051) and people may want to supplement that one. Given it is a Rails special, perhaps it is more closely linked to them, so it really was their choice to make. I am still tempted myself though as I really do like these newer models that have been coming out, though I still appreciate the Hornby model I already have. Who knows, maybe 60006 is on the cards for a future release, or maybe even one for Cavalex to cover, with an alternative DCC Sound file to make double heading more interesting! Great looking model though Accurascale/Rails! Certainly looks the part and hope it sells well - will decide if I get (another...) one too soon!

RMweb Gold Ian Hargrave Posted June 28 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 28 (edited) Apart from the quality of the model….on the crest of the outstanding success of the “tidying up “ of the class 66….consider the complete tour de force of marketing skills involved here.Holding back the clientele in a steady drip feed of goodies. Until…etc by some kind of dramatic twist of fate…I read the email today from the seat of a Voyager 221 enroute to Newcastle whilst slowing down for its Sheffield stop ….passing Rails Chesterfield Road premises .

Chris56057 Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Looks like Sam's Trains has done a review on his channel of a pre-production version of 60065 in EWS.. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damo666 Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Colas and EWS are my preferred liveries. The DB Schenker / DB Cargo never so. BUT....... this would be a 2nd purchase for me if it were to be produced. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a Cavalex/Rails Exclusive if you fancy the competition but if not then you may have to wait whatever time period for Accurascale to do it...the choice is yours. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

atom3624 Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Took me by surprise, and the subtle changes Sam made to his presentation, including the frequent 'this is a pre-production model' comments.

Model trains is the domain of the older gent it would seem and Sam has a huge worldwide following on the net,its the future........like it or loath it, but it is good to have younger faces take on keeping the hobby going once the hoodie with the scythe takes our generation to Valhalla.The running on the carpet does raise ones eyes but its a valid test i guess, i tend to want to make my own mind up rather than what others think,hey ho. 4 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium jjb1970 Posted June 30 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 30 Beautiful model for sure! A great move by Accurascale to work with Sam. Disclosure, I like Sam and enjoy his videos. I disagree with him on a few things (seeing weight as a proxy for quality, his views on prices are a bit out of touch IMO and some of his comments about rip offs unwarranted and unnecessary) but I find him an engaging and likeable presenter and his videos are well produced and useful. I find much more to like than dislike, and he is quite an accomplished modeller. However, what I think isn't the issue. He has a big audience and working g with him is a great way to pro.ote the model. Great stuff all round. 5 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
letterspider Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 (edited) A lot of his comments must resonate with a wide audience, or we wouldn't be talking about this... ...now back to the 60, which I had no interest in buying until I saw this mechanism....the problem is.....how much can I get for my Hornby Class 60s 2nd hand...?

RMweb Premium Legend Posted June 30 RMweb Premium Share Posted June 30 A very clever move by Accurascale boys to increase visibility of their model viz a viz the competitors . I watch Sam’s trains regularly and was very interested in this . 60 not really on my shopping list but at end of video I though mmm this looks good . Surprised the packaging was also designed , suggesting that the model had been being developed for some time . 5 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
