Have you ordered your Accurascale Pannier yet ?

Yes, me old Pencarrot, what about your pannier order - can you show us proof?!...

No idea what you're both on about. My legal team will be in touch...

Ah ! The classic denial and legal team ploy to deflect attention...........

Won't wash, Chap.

And, to coincide with this, we have a new addition to the fleet. Joining the stock for the long term East Anglian, 1960s set diesel project is one of the new and wholly excellent Class 30, Brush Type 2 jobs from Accurascale.

That's brought memories flooding back - my very first loco as a youngster was a Green Lima 31 (30?). That effort from Accurascale looks top notch.

Today, I have been meddling with some industrial hardware.................



Two Hornby Pecketts, a Dapol Hawthorn Leslie and a Planet Industrials Kerr Stuart forming the Unlined Black section of the industrial loco roster.

Hi Adrian.
Speaking as a former owner of a Triang 31, much later an Airfix rendition and a Hornby offering ( three years ago ) , yes, the Accurascale versions are the best out there. I have no hesitation in recommending these and will no doubt obtain more in the future.
Bachmann's contemporary version is very, very good but A/S just edges it for me. I can't put my finger on it but it just seems a bit finer ( though I think Bachmann's finish has a slight edge )

I say this not as an expert on the breed but simply working on the basis that if it looks right, it probably is.

This one will be fitted with sound in due course and will really look the part with my Accurascale Type 3 which is equally excellent.

They just need a layout to play on now.
