It's definitely not cheap but it depends how you look at it, if you're looking to save some dosh, hornby do one thats very good, but if you want more realism, you pay the extra and get TRS Trains smoke unit fitted

@@BomberCountyModels ok thanks I was just wondering

Always welcome bud, we are gonna have a naming day at the end of the season, be cool if you came to that

Thanks for subscribing, we have a facebook page, ruston 48ds 207103 imp, if you join and write a post, im sure Mike Who owns IMP with me will be able to advise, he builds miniature locos regularly

Absolutely, thank you

Thanks boss, yeah I've been watching rather progress closely, can't wait to see the dame back

@@BomberCountyModels yeah shes gonna be oil fired rather than coal fired

It's best to message him direct bud as each loco is different, all the tanks are custom made, I can only say how truly worth it the product is.

Mark is a very talented chap and the custom transfers he makes are second to none

Glad you enjoyed it 😊

Closer to 7 1/4 or 10 1/4

@@BomberCountyModels true

What a great comment to get, thanks woody

Are you having one done bud?

Thanks, it does look very smart in its entirety

11 coaches is fairly modest for ECML trains, 13 to 15 not uncommon, so yes, the trains are realistic.

Where else do I know you from bud

@@BomberCountyModels that would be tik tok

@Somerset-Trains ah ok, gotcha, good to see you on here too

I'll pass along your compliments, its truly top rate isn't it

I agree they are better but hornby have managed to do it for a price that's gonna be easier for a lot of folks to manage, both excellent products

@BomberCountyModels yea that's one thing i can agree with you but the TRS trains ones are more original

It's a world away from what I grew up with

Me too bud

Aye, i could sit watching it for hours

My thoughts exactly, a railroad version of syncronised steam if you will. Good for both sides

​@BomberCountyModels approximately what does a trs conversion cost?

Thanks, I'll pass on your compliments to my mate John who's layout it is, he's put a lot of time into it

Certainly sings nicely

The Deltics, you didn't stand next to them for very long idling unless you wanted a headache from the noise and clag. Noise absorbing panels were fitted behind the driver and second man seats to make inside the cab more comfortable. !

Accurascale exclusives are usually limited edition, these were, only 400 sets

@@BomberCountyModels In my opinion they’ve missed an open goal by producing a exclusive run, items like these are very popular and sell extremely well so why make them such a small run, these are by far the best RTC coaches on the market hands down, Revolution Trains Caroline Coaches are the best coaches full stop to date in my opinion, I’m sure they made more than 400, I did give it a lot of consideration before getting one but now I know I did the right thing. Maybe Accurascale can bring out some Network rail yell coaches and others like it, not everybody wants just normal passenger coaches all the time variety is the spice in model railways.

Yes exclusive... But also limited.Somebody has stated 400 but I believe 500. Was supposed to come with an individual numbered certificate, the factory forgot and Accurascale have said these will be posted out seperately

500 is more than most 'regular' coach releases from the other manufacturers @@nuvoix

Does seem a strange move, they sold out super quick

@@BomberCountyModels What you don’t get won’t kill, many fans of this unique livery will miss out for no reason, I’m sure another manufacturer will see the open goal and sort it, Bachmann have produced the largest amount of RTC items but yet all they have had for a while is a class 24 loco and nothing else, even Hornby have a few coaches and wagons in their range, the colours are not great but that’s Hornby for you, the secondhand prices of RTC coaches are a joke, Accurascale have made it worse in my opinion ! Why not release 1000 to 1500 sets , beggars belief that their marketing strategy failed to see the huge open goal.

They release some more after complaints and I manged to get a set then

Couldn't agree more, my favourite

At nymr?

@@BomberCountyModels yes, it only runs in october and november

When ever someone says ICONIC - most of the time it is merely hyperbole... but this Machine is indeed "ICONIC"

Thanks boss, I believe so too, as close as you're gonna get in 00, cheers for the comment

Thanks, its a beautiful model, sounds OK but it's crying out for a better speaker

Thanks bud, its getting there

It's very nicely done, not mine or my work, a friend of mines, he's meticulous in what he does and as usual, he's turned out a real beauty here
