@AntCoulls @railnigel AIUI, This was the second T2 built for Ruswarp Min rly (named douglas), having sold the first one and going for IC power, this was then built in 2014 before a reversion to IC power again soon after. Stood for 8 yrs before being thoroughly rebuilt by The Steam Workshop

@railnigel Wonderful! A very capable engine, is it new or does it have a story to tell?

Come and see my new locomotive at Buttercups Tea Room and small animal farm at Tilton, just off the A47, not far from Leicester. Bring the kids for a ride and to say hi!

As humorous as this is, I'd rather much prefer Accurascale's 5741 model to be in Brunswick Green for the sake of authenticity. This shade of green looks nice, but it is based on artistic interpretation/creative liberty and I'd think Sir Topham Hatt would want to give Duck a more

@TidmouthYard 5741 was a 1929 built pannier, so, as built it had backplate feed. Top Feed became standard for new build panniers from 1942 onwards and older panniers gained them as they went through the works . in short, yes 5741 didn't have a top feed until mid '40s at least

@rwsnwr12 Unfortunately that was my fault. When I was completing the artwork for 5741, my finger slipped when typing the colour code for GWR green, this one being specified to be "brilliant green" instead. Don't panic, it's already corrected on paper and production will be correct!

is the new accurascale 5741 like going to be a completely different lighter shade of green? Im a little concerned the photos dont match the others that say theyre 'gwr green' as well

Today we are running trains in Melton Mowbray Town Park. We also unveiled the new look for our electric locomotive. Still a bit of touching up to do before the transfers go on...

What better way to celebrate the class 60 project than to bookend them, with 60001 in the condition it left the works in back in 1989, featuring never before done details in model form, and 60100 as it is today under DB ownership. Pre-order now: accurascale.com/collections/cl…

@PdannyH @NSE_Latchmere @accurascale @hornby Yeah I agree.... im not really commenting on this specific release being a 31 rather than a 153 (please)... just on some of the flak going Bachmanns way when Accurascale equally chose a 31 and looking at timelines I'm not so sure they were first to take on the project!

So that's one side done, now to repeat on the other. Hopefully, I will have some updated boiler quotes back next week so we can start moving the big bit in the middle forward. Anyone fancy sponsoring the water gauges at £300 each. DM me!

@1701aStarship I really miss handling steam engines Ross, so understand how you feel. I hope you get back to running at PG ASAP.

I hadn't seen these photos in a very long time! Nearly 27(ish) years ago at Prestongrange Museum on our operating Sundays with the brake van and the Barclay No6. Good god, where does the time go.

It's been a busy few days for us here. In between reviewing some tasty EPs and finalising a load of artworks for @accurascale, I've managed to get the smokebox and brake rigging back on the loco. Big bit in the middle still missing though and spring isn't far away!

The time has come to pass on my 10.25 loco project to someone else. With all the problems of the last year with our overhaul. Will offer all parts, drawings and images for just £600! This is a rare opportunity to acquire a start to a really unusual model
There & Back Light Railway@Therebacktrain

The Mystery Loco - a Thread 🧵. in 1905, the Ayrshire Gold Mine and Lomagunda Railway Company ordered an 0-6-0T from Hunslet in Leeds for their 2' gauge railway in Southern Rhodesia. This loco was named Hans Sauer and was works number 867. The locomotive went to work without fuss

Small progress today. The wheels and motion components have been cleaned up, ready for fitting. I have also started to refit the brake gear. Once this stage is complete, the loco chassis will be stored whilst work on the tender and boiler starts.

A good bit of progress. Springs arrived and the loco has wheels for the first time in over a year. The overhaul is racing along but we need your help. Sponsorship is welcome for parts, Drain cocks are £150, The water gauges are just under £300 each and the firebox nearly £700.

A crisis on a huge scale (literally 1:1) is obv looming in the model railway world: The National Model Railway Show has just been cancelled indefinitely. Earlier this week Hattons, one of UK’s biggest online model retailers, hit the buffers. There’s trouble in Toyland, folks🚂🚆
Graham Muz Muspratt@GrahamMuz

It's official folks no Warley National Model Railway Show at the NEC this year or for the foreseeable future. #modelrailways #tmrguk

@MrTimDunn Yet @accurascale are bucking that trend. Most items sell out before arrival - not small quantities either. The prices are kept realistic without compromise, a proper loyalty scheme with real rewards and an attractive purchasing experience - right down to the box and paperwork
