Kernow Model Rail Centre and Accurascale Join Forces to Do the Bart-Man

[Warbonnet]

Accurascale’s Class 92 electric locomotives have arrived to great fanfare and delight with modellers around the country and beyond, with a diverse range of “Dysons” carrying a plethora of colourful liveries as adorned by the real locomotives in their careers across the National network and beyond to France.

However, there was one last locomotive to arrive in the exciting line up, and it’s likely the most eye-catching, and certainly the most complex of all; Class 92 017 “Bart the Engine” in the loud and proud Stobart Rail livery.

This vibrant model, produced in association with Kernow Model Rail Centre, had proven quite the challenge to replicate in model form. With complex printing around the cab sides to capture the distinct fading of the real “Bart The Engine”, it required numerous passes on the tampo printing machine resulting in the models being the last to leave the factory.

Thankfully the additional efforts required to capture this complex livery in model form have been worth the effort as they look spectacular in the flesh. They are now being distributed to pre-order customers with Kernow Model Rail Centre.

Demand and interest in the model has been very strong since its announcement, with many Accurascale customers contacting direct asking if they could also purchase this model through the Accurascale website. With this in mind, and to cover demand from everyone, Kernow Model Rail Centre and Accurascale have joined forces and now you can buy the limited remaining stock on both websites.

These locomotives are in stock, ready to ship and priced at £189.99 DC/DCC ready and £289.99 DCC sound fitted and feature the same great specification and attention to detail as the rest of the Accurascale Class 92 range. The entire production run is limited to just 350 locomotives and wont be repeated in this livery, so make sure you don’t miss out.

This kind of message is unnecessary really, it drives up the resale prices all round, surely it would be more beneficial if the production run was increased and the genuine hobbiest would have a less sense of panic.

Not really, you want people to buy them now and not 'ah shur ill get it again', and then moan in a few years time when its more expensive and they missed the chance, a la most murphy models locos, 121 aside

Also 2 of the 92 special editions were made in even less numbers than this...

It was a limited edition commission by a 3rd party who decided the quantity themselves. 

Cheers!
