Cop A Load Of That - Accurascale Teams Up With True To Scale Loads!

[Warbonnet]

We love working with forward-thinking companies who bring fresh ideas to our wonderful hobby.

From our locomotive driver packs from Modelu to our extensive DCC offerings from ESU, we enjoy great working relationships that add an extra dimension to our models.

Now, we’re delighted to add another innovative business to that list, as we introduce exclusive load packs from our friends at True-To-Scale Models.

Produced in the UK for Accurascale by Specialist Aggregates using long-term sustainable materials, these load packs are the perfect finishing touch for your Accurascale locomotives and wagons—or indeed, wagons and locos from other manufacturers.

We’re launching with five different packs, with more to come depending on popularity.

The first five packs

Each pack contains enough material to fill one 4 wheeled wagon, multiple steam tank engine bunkers, or a single tender.

To make them go further you can put a cardboard base or polystyrene insert into the wagons and put the load on top of that. That is what I do with the Foster Yeoman/ARC tipplers. Just put a piece of card with the flaps bent downwards and spread the load on that. Put some sticky stuff on the card to hold the load material.

I made inserts for some of the wagons from polystyrene. I just cut a lump to fit the wagon, painted it grey and covered it with ballast while the paint was still wet. Looks fine....I am not a rivet counter!
