Enjoy it when it arrives.

Have to agree, real AC electrics never really caught my imagination, but they’re an essential feature of the real network. This and the Bachmann 90 were reluctant purchases that have turned out to be gems of models which just somehow look great on the layout. Only issue is that at £200 a loco I’m much less likely to take a punt on something I’m not totally sure of. At least with Accurascale you feel you’re getting a top quality beautiful model for the money.

The Mk5s look great, but a set of 8 too long for my layout so Im going with old Mk3s / Mk2s, just finished the respray today.

A bit like the Deltics, worth picking one up before they sell out, although they ain’t cheap. My top limit for what I’d pay for a loco.

@@clippermuso Fortunately I live in (relatively) close proximity to two model shops, one of which I’m certain will get the Accura 92s at some point. Unfortunately, I ended up falling victim to eBay for my Deltic (D9009) and overpaying by… money in fair terms. I have pre ordered 31128, 37419, 37423 and 50008 so this doesn’t happen again.

Nice one, 92038 certainly been through Hamilton a few times. Pretty local to Hamilton and my wee layout based on the station. Can’t say I’m a massive AC electric fan, but that Cally livery is rathet nice and Accurascale have produced a cracking model. Hope yournjoy running it with your Inter7City HST - that’s anothet cracking model.

@clippermuso I'm just next to Mossend. So sometime they pop in. Yeah not actually ran it in yet. Waiting got them mk5s. Got the hornby mk4s that hornby just released.

For the smaller scale, the N sized model is still a great loco.

Hah yeah a bit of weathering makes quite a difference.
