Hi everyone, So, we have been a bit quiet recently, right? Well, that's all about to change throughout 2022, with several new announcements coming your way this year. It kicks off tomorrow, with an all new announcement. This is new tooling, not a bus, and is not powered. That's all the clues you're getting! So, make sure you keep an eye out for this new announcement tomorrow at 1pm! In the meantime, feel free to place your guesses below! Cheers! Fran

Hi everyone, In other news A12 (a personal favourite of yours truly, it looks the mutts nuts to me!) Is now down to 20 items remaining in stock. Once they hit this level it's not not before the go completely. Don't miss out! https://irishrailwaymodels.com/products/a12-a-class-locomotive Cheers! Fran

Hi Noel, Apologies in the delay in responding to your queries. Unfortunately we have suffered a burst pipe in our office which has been tremendous fun to deal with. 1. F6 reduces the top speed and kills a lot of the inertia. Makes it a lot easier to handle for shunting etc so it's a precision mode. 2. F13 emulates an increased loading so adds to the amount of time to stop. Cheers! Fran

Hello Noel, Back on November 27th we sent out an email detailing an error on the DCC function list. I have copied and pasted it below in full to assist you. Updated A Class DCC Function List As you play with your A Class you may note that there has been a mix up with two functions. This is due to a misprint in the operating manual. F12 is in fact "Shunt Mode Marker Lights - Front and Rear" and F23 is "Cab Interior Lights". In the manual this is stated as the opposite way round. Apologies for this mix up. You can download the updated list by clicking on this link. F25 does function as an engine room light but as per prototype it is very faint. Please check across a couple of your locos in case the one you are looking at is not working correctly. Thanks, Fran

Nor was I Phil, those are general points for any manufacturer who would be looking at it. Just substitute A Class (merely an example) for a 201, Class 66, Class 47, French, Swiss, etc) If production in China is no longer viable it will move to a new economy, but I really cannot see that being Eastern Europe, considering that many of these nations have joined or wish to join the EU and improve their own living standards.

The Dapol manufacturing in the UK is for very simple items, not OO gauge locomotives for instance. Marklin is reflected in price and comparative lack of separately applied parts. Should we bring our standard (IRM) models to European manufacturing, either minimum wage would need to be around €2 per hour, or RRP of a loco around €800 (If produced in a Western Europe developed economy). It's as simple as that. And that's before kitting out a factory, training a legion of workers, and them demonstrating the patience and skill required. Eastern Europe is still too unproven as an entity for the level of detail demanded in our markets. Not to mention politically volatile situation in Eastern Europe as we speak. It's not going to happen unless we want a serious erosion of our living standards, or we are happy to pay 4 times the price we currently do for an A Class.

Our latest Accurascale Exclusive release sees us go back to our very first model and puts a whole new spin on it too! Many HUO hopper wagon patterns gained BR Bauxite livery. However, it was not a feature of the diagram of wagons we have made in model form. There is only one that features this livery on pictorial record to date (that we know of!) and it's B335028, as depicted here on Paul Bartlett's excellent website. As this is a one off, it will come in a single pack and is perfect to use alongside our other HUO wagon packs. These distinctive hoppers look rather attractive in this livery too! This single wagon pack with be part of our growing "Accurascale Exclusives" range which are only available direct via our website, limited in production and comes with collectable bespoke packaging. The latest model for our "Powering Britain" range is priced at just £24.95 each and numbers are strictly limited to 500 models. They will arrive in Q2 2022 along with our other new run HOP 24 wagons, allowing you to build a rake of these distinctive hoppers. Demand is likely to be high so make sure you grab yours right here!

Hi everyone, We have seen a flurry of orders on 007 today and it is now rather low on stocks. This is our last GM powered A Class in stock, so if you want one, don't hang about, as they are not hanging about on the shelves. https://irishrailwaymodels.com/collections/a-class-locomotive/products/007-a-class-locomotive Cheers!

It's been a while since we had anything to offer our O gauge fans, and the demand seems to be there for us to do more in 7mm judging by online comments and emails received since we first dipped our toes in the water a few years ago. So, we have listened and decided to get back into the water! First up is the return of our O Gauge 24.5 Ton 'HOP 24'/HUO hopper wagons for an all new production run. These humdrum hoppers provided the backbone of coal trains across the UK from their introduction in the 1950s until their withdrawal in the mid 1980s, when they were among the last unfitted wagons on BR. They also represented the first foray into the O gauge world for us, being well received by modellers of 7mm outline and finding home on their most famous layouts, such as Pete Waterman's "Leamington Spa" and "Heaton Lodge Junction". It even won the Model Rail magazine "O Gauge Rolling Stock Model of the Decade" after its first release in 2019. We have previously expressed an interest in doing more in O gauge, but this has been somewhat hampered by the recent global goings on over the past two years. However, as we move to safer ground globally, O gauge can now be investigated once again. So, to kick off the process we decided to bring this model back for a second production run following customer demand and a basis to build a further O gauge product line. The model has also been enhanced, receiving two new buffer types newly tooled up to offer greater variety and prototypical accuracy among the fleet. Once again eight all new running numbers are offered on these wagons, with seven in freight grey, and one in bauxite. Artwork is complete and decorated samples are due in April with delivery to modellers in Q3 2022. Price is £59.99/€69.95 per wagon, with 10% off when you buy two wagons or more direct via our website, offering unbeatable value for money. You can also order them via your local stockist. Pre-order yours direct here: https://accurascale.co.uk/collections/24-5t-huo-coal-hopper-o-gauge View the full article

Hi @Westcorkrailway, You make some points I fully agree with. The shade of green on A42 is really hard to make pop in photos for whatever reason, and silver seems to be a bit too. However, when we did the Wexford show, A42 and A30 were two of the first to sell out stock wise on the day, as when people saw them in the flesh, they loved them. They really pop when you see them for real and are very attractive. We found this with A12 too. Again, in the plastic it really pops, and looks fantastic (I guess I am biased!). All we need now is some easing of COVID restrictions down under and we can get the sound chip recorded finally to really add an extra dimension to the early ones. Cheers! Fran

Hi Noel @Noel, Happy New Year to you. As you may know, whenever we have news on something new and exciting, we publish it here, on our website, our social media channels and send out email updates. So, once there is an update on the Crossley sound chip, which is fully dependant on our Australian friends relaxing travelling restrictions around COVID (has been something about all that in the news over the last week or so I believe, something to do with racquet ball or something) we will see progress and it will duly be plastered across these mediums. Until then, if there is no update published, then it means that there is no update. Frustrating, but that's global pandemics for you I guess. Cheers! Fran

Hi everyone, We have received a number of emails asking how to install a DCC decoder (standard and sound) to the IRM A Class, so we filmed this very handy guide. Cheers! Fran

Hi everyone, Weekly update time; only 2 IR 056s left, and 8 Special edition A1s. A lot of As went out the door last week, we're really starting to run low on stock in general. Don't pay inflated second hand prices down the line, get your order in while the going's good! https://irishrailwaymodels.com/collections/a-class-locomotive/availability_in-stock? Cheers! Fran

Hi everyone, Happy New Year! Thank you to everyone who bought As over the Christmas break, or indeed received them as gifts from loved ones. We hope you had a great time running or displaying them. Our stocks on some have dwindled further. We have 11 of the special edition A1 left, and 10 of 056 in Supertrain livery with IR embellishments. So, if you fancy one, now would be the time to act... https://irishrailwaymodels.com/collections/a-class-locomotive/availability_in-stock? Cheers! Fran

2021 has been another interesting year for many reasons. Most of these are not likely to be fondly remembered as COVID19 continued to affect us all. However, at Accurascale 2021 was also our biggest year yet, with a wealth of newly tooled models arriving in stock, expansion of our team and an award or two picked up along the way. So. grab a cuppa and perhaps a mince pie and let's look back on the last 12 months! New Model Arrivals 2021 was a big year for newly tooled models arriving in stock with us, with six brand new wagons coming to market for the first time, along with our very first locomotive with our sister brand, IRM. JSA Steel Wagons Our first arrival was our highly anticipated JSA family of steel wagons. We offered the original British Steel welded hood and subsequent VTG riveted replacements, both faithfully replicated in our models. However, they are the same wagon essentially, and for the purposes of our review we won't count them as two separate wagons. However, the most modern variant, the VTG open JSA coil carriers, is a completely different tooling to the covered wagons and proved a very popular addition to the range indeed. These wagons went out our doors almost as quickly as they arrived, selling out within months of release. Perhaps another run in the near future shall be considered... KUA Nuclear Flask Carrier The KUA has proven to be our most hotly anticipated wagon to date, and it's easy to see why. This twin pack beast arrived with us in June following a delay due to the "Evergiven" Suez blockage (oh what fun that was!) and soon became a big hit with modellers, with them appearing on layouts across the land with a flurry of photos and videos of them in action being sent into us. Another sell out success (though you may still get a pack from some of our retail partners!) this also became an award winner, bagging the "OO Gauge Rolling Stock Of The Year" award in the 2021 Hornby Magazine awards. Thank you to everyone who voted for us, and who bought a set too! BR 21 ton Mineral Wagons (MDO and MDV) Another large gap that was filled in British wagons in 00/4mm scale was our family of 21 ton mineral wagons. Our aim was to bring both the unfitted MDO and the later vacuum braked MDV (complete with top flap doors) to market following announcement in late 2020. Both wagons featured completely different bodies and brake gear, making them two separate wagon projects in their own right, but an essential gap to fill in the market and had been for many, many years. Once again these have been very popular indeed since their arrival in October, with all MDOs sold out here at Accurascale, and most MDVs too. A few packs still remain, so if you fancy some be sure to grab them now before they sell out by clicking here! Coil A Wagons Our final arrival for Accurascale for this year was also our first announcement of 2021; the Coil A hooded steel wagons. Built on the platform of the MDVs, both in prototype and in this model form, we brought a steel carrying wagon that was desperately needed for transition era modellers, which also operated up until the early 1990s. After all, we love our modernisation era stock! Again our Coil A wagons have gone down very well since their arrival in October, with two of the three packs now sold out. For diminishing stocks of the final pack, click here. IRM A Class Locomotives Did you know that we landed our very first locomotive this year? Okay, so it wasn't under the Accurascale banner, or British outline (though the prototypes were built in Britain by Metropolitan-Vickers in the mid 1950s!) but it was another milestone for us as a company. In October, the Irish Railway Models (IRM) A Class locomotives arrived in stock. It was our representation of the most numerous Irish diesel locomotive ever and it has gone down rather well with modellers of the Irish scene, and those who fancy something unusual too. As is the Accurascale/IRM way, we represented these locomotives across their operational lives, catering for a boggling array of detail differences between their initial construction and final rebuilt condition. Featuring similar specifications to our forthcoming Accurascale diesel and electric locomotives, this video by Andy York will give you a glimpse at the As performance and what you can expect from your Accurascale locomotives in 2022. If you fancy a bit of strange (and we all like to try something different every now and then, right?) you can browse our range of A Class locomotives here. IRM Tara Mines Wagons Our most recent arrival within the last few weeks has been a new run of our IRM Tara Mines wagons, featuring the as delivered blue livery with original hood as well as some additional wagons in the current red oxide livery. Perfect wagons for your new found A Class fetish as the Metrovicks were almost exclusive motive power for these wagons for almost 20 years since their delivery in 1977. You can order Taras here. So, that's what we delivered in 2021. But what about our other outstanding projects? Well, let's take a look! Project Progress Reports So, what's been happening on the big projects we previously announced that have yet to arrive? Well, while progress has not been as fast as we desired, partly of course due to the current state of the world, there has thankfully been significant progress on these projects over the past 12 months where they are now edging closer to delivery. Let's take a look at each one! Class 55 Deltic The big one! Our beloved Deltic locomotives are now entering final assembly stage at the factory ahead of shipping to us at the end of January of 2022. The factory is currently working around the clock to get them finished before the Chinese New Year deadline. Shipping means they will arrive in stock with us around mid March of 2022 before being packed up and shipped out to you! It's been a long wait, and we will certainly do better in the future, but we had to get them up to the standards we desired, and that proved to be a learning curve for both us and the factory. However, when you see details like this, you know the wait will be worth it. Not long now! Several are sold out, but we still have plenty to go round. Pre-order right here! Class 92 Our first electric locomotive made massive strides in 2021, with decorated samples arriving in late August and production commencing late in November of this year. Getting the pantograph technology, as well as the bewildering light package combinations proved to be a fun challenge on these, but we're now set. With production now underway, albeit at an early stage, we can confirm that these will land in quarter 3 of 2022. Remember, the price increase kicks in on January 1st, so if you want the bargain of the century, order yours with just a £30 deposit direct via our website before then and we will honour the current price! Click here to browse the Class 92 range and get your order in! Mark 5 Coaches Another project which is now finally making great strides is our Mark 5 coaches in TPE and Caledonian Sleeper formats. We received decorated samples of the sleepers in late summer, with the TPE causing major headaches in the tampo printing department. As reported this week, our corrections are underway and production begins post Chinese New Year, with delivery in summer of 2022. Again, these can only be ordered direct via our website, so click here if you fancy some! Class 37 Our Class 37 locomotives went down a treat when we showed off all the different tooling combinations we are featuring in the first run earlier this year. We also enjoyed a number of days up close and personal with the real things, taking several trips to preserved lines across the country to record the sound for our DCC sound fitted models, capturing the unique little differences between the different subclasses. In January our decorated samples will arrive for assessment, so keep an eye out for them. Production will commence soon after with delivery slated for Q3 2022. Pre-order your 37 via your local stockist, or here, including Accurascale Exclusive 97301 in Network Rail yellow (only available direct via Accurascale) HYA/IIA/Cut Down HYA Wagons Our next arrival is once again a trio of wagons never produced ready-to-run in 00/4mm. This is of course our family of modern HYA coal hopper wagons, the IIA biomass hopper wagons and HYA cut down aggregate hopper wagons. Demand for these wagons has been so strong that we had to twice increase the size of the production run and it is now our biggest wagon production run to date (though the HAA production run will beat that, they're just not quite finished yet!) These wagons have now left China and will arrive with us in late January of 2022! New Announcements in 2021 While new models arrived in stock and progressed through their various stages during 2021, we found time to announce our next batch for delivery in 2022 and early 2023 too. The Coil A and cut down HYAs were announced this year, but we've talked about them already, so let's have a look at the other new tooling items announced over the last 12 months! GWR 78xx Manor We did the unthinkable. We only went and did a steam locomotive! Some people branded us as "mad". Others even went further, mourning the loss of the company from the more modern scene forever, with one particularly amusing comment stating "they'll never make newer stuff again now due to their new staff and their backgrounds. I'm done with them." The reaction was quite amusing to say the least. Hyperbole aside, we have really enjoyed working on a steam locomotive project for the first time, and the vast, vast majority of people welcomed our announcement on Accurascale's third birthday back in February of this year. (That's right, we're operating in the British outline market for less than four years! A lot has happened in that time). We recently showed the first two decorated samples of our Manors, and feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with some excellent constructive comments and suggestions coming to which have really helped us out, and we thank you for that. More of our decorated samples will arrive in early January 2022, and we are feeding amendments and tweaks back to the factory. We also recorded the sound during the summer, and will preview the set up in the new year, with running demonstrations too, so keep any eye out for that. Pre-order your Manor via your local stockist, or direct right here! (Oh, and we're working on more steam projects. But don't worry; we're working on other forms of propulsion from more modern eras too!) Nuclear PFA Wagons Nuclear traffic really captures the imagination of modellers, and we have received countless requests to produce the more intriguing low level nuclear waste containers that go atop our lovely little PFA wagons. Covering Novapak, Nupaks, Dragons and others took a significant amount of research and patience due to a large amount of understandable red tape, but we god what we needed and tooled them up earlier this year. We have since received decorated samples and made some tooling refinements to make these packs really stand out. Production is now underway and delivery will be Q2 2022. You can pre-order here! The HAA MGR Family, CDA and MHA Our big wagon announcement for 2021 was one that had been on our hitlist since we began Accurascale and something that was in the works since 2019; the MGR coal hopper wagon family of HAA, HBA, HCA, HDA, HFA, HMA and HNA, as well as the CDA China clay hoppers and MHA spoil wagons in OO/4mm. When we debuted in the British market in 2018 we ran a survey asking modellers what models they would like to see tackled, and the runaway leader in the wagon stakes was the HAA and its constituents. It has proven to be a mammoth task, but we have gone above and beyond what has gone before in terms of variants and fidelity with these particular wagons. We announced these wagons with decorated samples already in hand, which has allowed us to cut the waiting time on these wagons significantly. Indeed, the first batch are almost complete, shipping out in the coming weeks. This will consist of HAA/HOP AB, HCA and CDA. These will then be followed by the remaining MHA, HDA, HMA and HBA which will arrive in Q2 2022. Order via your local stockist, or direct right here for the coal wagons, here for the CDA china clay wagons and here for the MHA spoil wagons. Mark 2B Coaches Our other summer announcement was something that has been badly missing from the British outline 70s-90s scene that we love so much; the Mark 2B coaches. Pictures say 1000 words, so check them out in action with Hornby Magazine below. Naturally we are covering a vast range of variants and offering a large amount of liveries and running numbers, including Blue/Grey, NSE and West Coast Railways. Oh, and since these ran in service on the Belfast-Dublin 'Enterprise' trains during the 1970s-1990s, we are doing them in their NIR condition too for IRM, including their unique driving car, grille car and generator car, complete with prototypical wider bogies to account for Irish gauge! Decorated samples are due in the new year, so look out for them. Oh, and yes, the bogies won't be banana shaped! As for developments on further coaches in our range? We will just have 2 C about that in 2022... Due in Q3 2022 (pandemic permitting, but so far so good!) you can pre-order yours here, or via your local stockist. NIR variants can be pre-ordered via IRM here. The NER 4T Chaldrons In the Autumn we announced the latest (and earliest!) addition to our "Powering Britain" series of coal wagons; the Chaldrons. We are taking you back to the beginning of the railways, with the design dating from the 1830s and lasting in traffic all the way up to the 1970s; seeing their days out in internal colliery railway usage. These cute little wagons are now in manufacture and due in stock in Q2 2022. Don't forget to order yours via your local Accurascale stockist, or direct, including our 'Accurascale Exclusives' pack by clicking here. Siphon G Our final announcement of 2021 was the much needed inside frame diagram 0.33 diagram, (our variants begin at Lot 1578, starting with 2751, introduced from October 1936) the BR(W) 0.62, the O.59 and M.34 conversions, as well as the BR Newspaper Van conversions of the O.62 (NNV) Siphon G in 00/4mm scale. Covering a vast selection of differing vans is always a challenge, and one we have taken on over a couple of years now. We wanted to cater for modellers from their introduction on the GWR in the 1930s all the way up to their withdrawal from service in BR in the mid 1980s. Once again, we dropped along to our friends at Hornby Magazine to go through all the variants and preview some of the 15 differently tooled vans that make up the first run. Delivery is just over a year away in Q1 2023 and you can pre-order your preferred Siphons via your local stockist or via our website right here! New Additions to The Team To meet the demands of delivering our ever growing model range we need a bigger team with expertise and diverse skills. The Accurascale team grew larger this year with a host of new jobs in critical areas of the business. So, say hello to those who joined us this year! Steve Nicholls - Product Manager Steve joined our team in August as Product Manager, with a focus managing the production process of models and our relationship with our factories, as well as creating and maintaining consistent standards across the Accurascale/IRM range going forward, and product testing. Steve is a well known modeller in 2mm circles with interest in British and Japanese subjects, as well as working in 4mm finscale, and some O has crept in there too! Tim Elcock - Graphic Designer Tim also joined us in the summer of 2021 as our Graphic Designer. Tim now works on our decoration artwork alongside our Project Managers for our models, as well as branding and advertising. As well as being a highly skilled and experienced Graphic Designer, Tim also is a keen modeller, with a particular interest in pre-grouping railways. Jamie Goodman - DCC Engineer Many of you will already know Jamie for his excellent DCC sound projects and work on the real railway, as well as being involved with the preservation scene too! Jamie has now joined the team for DCC testing of new models, ensuring common standards, compatibility, innovation and testing as well as recording sounds for forthcoming models. Tony Mirolo - Engineer Tony joined the Accurascale/IRM crew back in the Autumn as a warranty repairs technician for territories outside the UK. A keen British sectorisation era and Irish outline modeller, Tony is the Chairman of the Model Railway Society of Ireland, the oldest and largest model railway club in Ireland. Manufacturer of The Year! So, this happened..... In all seriousness, thank you to everyone who voted for us as the Manufacturer of the Year in the 2021 Hornby Magazine Awards. We couldn't believe it at the time, and still can't believe it now. We were truly humbled and are delighted you like what we do. And Finally.... A big, massive and sincere thank you to every one of you who took an interest in us this year. Those of you who placed pre-orders, bought our models, showed patience in delays, gave us your constructive feedback, and support what we are trying to do. We simply couldn't do this without your help, support and custom. Thank you so much! 2021 was a great year for Accurascale, but 2022 is going to be even better, with delivery of the above, and perhaps a couple of new models announced along the way too as we progress these models to delivery. Keep an eye on our website, our newsletter, our social media and the pages of magazines and RMWeb to keep up to date on all the news as it comes. We hope you have had a very Merry Christmas and now have a peaceful and safe New Year, and we will see you again in 2022! View the full article
