Accurascale and Rails of Sheffield can today confirm that one of their most exciting and ambitious projects to date, the legendary Class 89, is nearing production completion with a delivery date to customers now also confirmed.

Launched officially just over 2 years ago, Accurascale has been on quite the journey with the "Badger" but the finishing line for this charismatic prototype is now in sight.

Earlier this month, the factory sent Accurascale progress reports, including images of the locomotives in production. Since these images were taken, the locomotives have been progressing through the decoration stage and are now moving onto final assembly.

The factory have informed Accurascale that production will be complete in early December and shipment from the factory in China will commence then. They will arrive with Accurascale and Rails of Sheffield in mid-late February 2025 for dispatch to customers.
