Warbonnet Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Great news! We can reveal further decorated samples of our Class 50 have showed up from the factory for assessment. We have now received BR Blue, BR Blue Large Logo with grey roof, and original Network South East liveries. These arrived with the Hanson and Hall and BR Large Logo with black roof we previewed before Christmas but we've only got around to photographing them now! As ever, some fit and finish issues are apparent on these samples, such as the headcode glass on D423 and the body to chassis fit on some examples, but these will be corrected on production models that you receive. Enough talking, more pics! As per our previous update, production is now underway with a delivery date of Q4 of 2024 envisaged. Order via your local stockist, or direct below. Please note that there is limited stock remaining across all running numbers as production is now in full swing! Pre-Order Your Class 50 Here!

jhb171achill Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 (edited) Always thought the 50s were elegant looking beasts. I remember reading about them being built new; an earlier summer holiday in Brexitland having been before they were built, and memories of what I think were green 47s hauling maroon coaches. I wonder what a BR blue one might look like amongst 141s or J15 steam engines on a layout set in west Kerry, a decade before the 50s were built............. well, Rule 1. And all of this reminds me, courtesy of Senior; Edited February 19 by jhb171achill 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will have to kindly ask Fran if he will send me an accurascale sample or do you have to be one of those youtubers with mega likes and viewers lol... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do something stupid like jumping off your roof in a shopping trolley while live-streaming to YouTube. Accurascale will not only give you a loco, but will show up in person to sign your various casts. Only have one myself, Heljan's "Courageous", but am looking forward to adding two Accurascale variants to the fleet! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimO Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 @jhb171achill Green loco with maroon coaches, yes. Class 47, no. I believe it is either a Class 40, 44,45 or 46 but I don’t know which. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s my own memories that were of green 47s, on the North Wales line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
