Hopefully they’re not actually ‘in tooling’ in that case or eventually see the merit of laser scans to ‘check the homework’ otherwise i expect it might be three for three on dimensional and shape errors.

No the body sits ok, it’s just the wrong shape. The danger when you measure and eyeball rather than laser scan too as we found to our own peril in the early days. The roof is a complex set of curves not just a dome for example. As i said my detail brain gets upset when things are blatantly inaccurate but im sure some will find it tolerable.

First thousand or so and most retailers already away If you read on you can see the ‘opinion’ is nullified by the cold hard data of laser scans overlaid on CAD confirming the accuracy of the acc (and the Hornby one, those lads knew how to make a model)

In the 60 just put it beside a hornby or accurascale and the error will be self explanatory

some interesting photos on the accurascale 60 threads as an example but generally you get attacked for suggesting the emperor has no clothes

Lol. Bach I know have many 46’s coming in a steady flow over the coming years. Will be interesting to see how it goes particularly as the track record isn’t great with accuracy with the other chaps

It’s just under 2mm and perhaps i’m a little OCD but the cab overhang on both ends is totally jarring. They did confirm in an article with Andy York (rip) it’s been retooled for this next run so we live in hope. On the 47 the bachmann is brand new tooling and Heljan are in the mix but at the current status it’s 2-3 years out for this new effort.

Sorry yep i just happened to see a fb post and had a look! I’ll set up some better monitoring when im back from the holliers:)

No prices yet and pre tooling ready cad which is probably why. The 56 is ok but i’m waiting for the retooling to move the bogies forward the 2mm they are out of place before i buy.

Not forgotten just not possible. Also Royal Mail will only accept parcels up to 2kg for usps and the dimensional or volumetric weight is also a factor. Our large locos for example are all ‘more than’ 2kg from a shipping point of view.

I confirm both are at the final stages of production and lovely set of park royal images and an update is forthcoming

Exactly my point. Tariffs are nothing to do with the seller or carrier. They are imposed at point of entry by the US Govt

All options would have passed on a tarrif. It applies globally not by carrier.

The accurascale ‘main range’ will be announced in the coming days and a new NIR run a bit closer to the Hunslet landing. Hope that helps
