The Hunslet 18” x 26” “Austerity” 0-6-0 saddle tank locomotive joins our "Powering Britain" range! 😲😍 Read our full blog here: www.accurascale.com/blogs/news/blazing-saddles-hunslet-austerity-tanks-next-for-accurascale

[@kclassproductions]

Looking good guys!

[@brickleyyard4966]

250 for a sound fitted one is a joke 40 quid more and your into the relm of your sound fitted 37s 50s almost any diesel for that matter Your prices are normally very good but guss it wasn't going to be long before you start getting silly with your pricing For the same price I can get bachmanns 2022 new tooled 2-8-0 wd sound fitted austerity 😅 now that's a larger loco has a pole granted that's not a geared corless but the rest of the specs are some what on par with yours so please tell me where ..... where! Have u got 250 from lol

Now THIS how you lauch a new product. Well done.

Ditto. I was going to say.. where's the awkward " sat at a desk" with logos in the background?!! 😂 The genuine presentation style and interest in the subject sets this apart 🎉 nice work folks

Superb video - the level of understanding and research is very reassuring

[@Nikisong-j2p]

I like this video, it's of very high quality.Thank you for shot and sharing❤🎉

[@terrier_productions]

Finally we are getting a better Austerity tank.. I Know beggars can't be choosers but only 6 examples? and (as far as I know) there are next to no preserved examples in the mix

[@MoleculeMind7]

Barely any in preservation are in original condition. Juno might be the only one. Curasale only make accurate things hence the name

[@lukechristmas3951]

No, at least one is of a preserved one. The one with the Geisel injector, Warrior or, Fred, if you prefer.

[@GaryMiles-hx3dz]

​@MoleculeMind7 Juno is the one I want, since I was a kid, I'm 65 now.

[@reluctantanorak]

Should have done RSH 7289 of 1945 FRED which had no ladders but a similar chimney and air passages in the firebox walls which could have been background lit, was ex-NCB Walkden and used on Worth Valley in their early years, currently stored at Tysley.

[@TheKnightTrain88]

If it's not a steam offering, then either a Class 507/508 (Merseyrail livery) or Class 185 (Transpennine livery) would make me very happy!

[@learningoogauge3452]

me too with the 185! unfortunately I think locomotive implies it is not a EMU/DMU but we shall see!

[@TheKnightTrain88]

@@learningoogauge3452 I had the same thought, but the only locos on my wish list are oddball preserved steam industrials unlikely to ever see the light of day in RTR. Happy to be proved wrong on that though!

A lovely-looking model of a handsome and ubiquitous prototype - I especially like the Giesl version! I hope they sell well (and that the price is not too high...). Well done, Accurascale!

Walthers did those. They can be found cheap as many suffer from a factory error which is easily rectified

[@nintendofanlp]

@MoleculeMind7 not the R1-9s though. I believe they only did R17s. Besides MTHs HO subways are better and cheaper. Plus they come with sound!

[@nintendofanlp]

@@MoleculeMind7 yesssssss! I think they will be the next ones to do NYC subways. Especially after last announcement they said they are all in on the transit market. Maybe they'll come out with better London underground equipment too. Better than Bachmann's anyway.

@ that just means they will be making loads of busses that no one wants

[@SMAZVidoes]

Brilliant details. Well presented.

[@josefbuckland]

FINALLY do it in maroon for the royal train as seen in the dad’s army episode.

[@michael32A]

Great programme, and easily one of my favourite episodes! 'Colwyn' is a Kitson built loco to an ex-Manning Wardle design, rather than an Austerity. I think there's a similar (albeit slightly older style) Manning Wardle 0-6-0ST loco in 00 in progress by somebody though - can't remember who?

[@josefbuckland]

@ correct I know but that saddle tank got me thinking. I posed the question in the HORNBY forum with plenty of responses I have not had a chance to go back and review. Stay safe and if you get a chance you may well take a peep at the vids of my layout.

[@Shauniboy1984]

@AccurSca, great anouncement - pre-order placed! Just to note it says 2025 on some retailers sites and 2026 on others so its probably worth sending all of them a clarification. Cheers Shaun

[@Gatherleymodeller.]

Please, please let it be a class 43 or some gwr dmu of some sorts 😊

[@That1Redhead28]

I’m shocked that the real Wilbert engine isn’t apart of this line up. We know acurascale are proud of their Duck model so I thought they would jump at the chance to do another Thomas character

[@NextEevolution]

I knew preordering two upcoming Accurascale 57XX was a mistake. Now they know I'm a sucker for 0-6-0's with colored coupling rods

[@speleokeir]

A bit of a surprise considering it's not been that long since Rapido's 16" Hunsletts were released which these are based on and look very similar. Nonetheless these sound like they'll be quality models.

[@timstrainvideos142]

an ho scale version for use in europe would be nice!!

[@petersmith4455]

hi there, great choice, this iron horse should sell well

[@David_Mattox]

Pretty cool. Shame the one named after Wilbert Awdry isn’t being done. That said, anyone feel like doing the mysterious Austerity Engine we never got? 😉 Still waiting on the Buckjumper, btw.

[@CharliEcho-lol]

if you make the Dean Forest Railway's austerity 0-6-0 "Wilbert" i will buy it in a heartbeat

[@davidranger4468]

Same reason 9681 landed in my basket!

[@Mattslade6024]

Preserved mainline steam locomotive would be nice 😊

[@tavtwo8581]

I'm super excited to see these come to fruition, I think this is probably one of the most heavily requested steam locos to have a 00 retool so I imagine they'll be popular! I am slightly disappointed though, for a class of over 400 with 70 preserved, only 6 variations is very limiting to people wanting to model specific locos. For example I'd love a model of No. 3839 'Wimblebury' as it was the first locomotive I ever drove, but with this range I can't really model it correctly without having to potentially rip details off or scratchbuild other details. There's also a lack of WD condition locos, which is surprising considering that of course was the original operator of these locos during the war. You seem to have a pretty vast tooling suite planned so hopefully more variants will come in the future! Still a great announcement though and you can be sure I'll be picking one up!

[@dcb_trains]

Very much looking forward to this

[@AtreiusLux]

Will these be able to run on DC power? I know it wouldn't have the full sound function but I don't have DCC.

[@seanrailanimations]

Caledonian Railway 439 class 0-4-4T, 72 Class 4-4-0 or 782 Class 0-6-0T?

[@lukechristmas3951]

I will buy all examples produced!

[@davidgalpin7353]

I hope they would make the different variants of the Midland / SDJR / LMS / BR, 2-8-0’s

[@trainfan998]

Good decision, this will sell well.

[@iaingardener9268]

It’ll either be something truly exciting or a new livery on the 37

[@warrenlehmkuhleii8472]

Why not both?

[@southamptontrainspotter553]

[@vickielawless]

Interesting choice of prototype, considering other models are already available. You mention the related 50550 type (eg Gunby..); can we have one of them at some point?

[@grandaddyoe1434]

[@Alpha-oo8]

Well, there are literally hundreds if not thousands of possibilities for what this could be. The LNER had the better part of 100 locos in the “J” bracket of classification alone. So, what will it be? Steam? Diesel? Electric? Oil? Kerosene? The horse on a treadmill locomotive? This comment will look very out of place once the announcement goes live. Can’t be helped
