I wouldn’t call it a kicking when it’s a handful of Dc posters (the 10%) and look again at the class 89 for where prices are regardless. With no decoder the 92 would be £214.95 at least either way certainly not a £40 difference.

For complex models like the 92 with pantographs and that needs to body off to access a decoder then yes, we won’t be selling any future models without a decoder on. board. Having shipped a very large volume of locos now our own data tells us that ‘actual’ DC models is around the 10% mark and of that percentage you have to include models that will remain on a shelf or in a box. For the prototypes we are doing it makes less sense to have to design bespoke DC blanking chips with a dozen manual switches and all the ensuing support work from trying to support third party decoders etc. For easy to access decoder sockets and less complex locos we don’t plan on changing any time soon but it’s something we review constantly.

The base model includes all the technology, stay alive, large speaker and sugar cube speaker and two independently motorised pantographs and full lighting suite and an ESU lokpilot for a snip at just £229.95 Considering the LokPilot is £39.95 and the accurathrash is £12.95 you’re actually getting the model for a price less than it should be (and the same as a much more comparable class 89 without a chip and with only one panto)

Bear in mind those aren’t photos they are colour CAD renders .

The small speaker is fitted on all models. The sound version also has the accurathrash large speaker fitted which you can also add after the fact.

Fwiw the rrp was always €124.95 for the triple pack. Any difference to that was a systems failure in not charging the Vat ( or correct if you are outside the EU obviously) €40 a wagon for a niche like ours is rediculous value when you compare the UK equivalents.

What price change? All the bulleid range was launched at €124.95 / £109.95 All that’s happened in the mean time is the euro has devalued a little against the GBP so that £109.95 is now about a fiver more in euro. No actual price change and still exceptional value, especially when you can get 10% off with two packs and 15% for five or more dropping g the price to just £ 31.15 / € 36.80ish per wagon. Thats before loyalty points on top.

Should be all sorted out now

As is says, we have a detailed update and fresh photos and production samples to share very shortly, and we still expect delivery this year.

Any paid preorders will be clear before the end of the week. Worth double checking the order status in the account area just to be sure all in order too?

Exactly that. The final samples are getting photographed now.

Yep we ran out of storage, had to crank 'er up to 1.21 gigawatts!

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:)

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

Hi Paul The unfitted remain on schedule for August end and are in transit. The Park Royals will get a full update in the coming days as the Project Manager assesses the production samples.

We’d certainly hope we keep updates clear and frequent and the status page tracks all updates. In the case of the 071 there was no data so we felt it not suitable to leave it on the status page. If that changes we can add it back in

The exact timing may pull in slightly, but we should have an exact date in the next week or 10 days

As my last post it hadn’t been showing VAT dynamically but is fixed now. Unless it’s on your order list the order didn’t go through. If it’s a preorder the system will just take card details to hold / secure the order (like booking a hotel) then you can pay on arrival as you prefer.

Thanks for the heads-up on that guys, the system should now correctly show Euro Vat inc Prices, and append a little 'inc. Irish VAT' specifically for Irish customers so you can be sure. Example link https://www.accurascale.com/en-ie/products/br-class-50-br-blue-d423-dcc-sound-fitted

Thanks will do some checking. Does it make a difference if you are logged in first?
