Great video guys ! Love the teasing opening scenes with a Class 50 just visible in the background and gradually becoming more prominent ! And some superb running scenes of 50s showcasing their sight and sounds.

[@tjfSIM]

I'm sure they will do an amazing job, but we have been blessed with a very nice Class 50 from Hornby. It would have been nice to see them tackle something that hasn't already been done.

[@sapphirejunction8993]

Hope it's either a Class 40 or Class 50, failing that then a new HST with proper detail & sound with full accompanying sets for all the era's.

[@gilbertporter4992]

Happy to see! Do look forward to you doing other preserved versions and rebuilt ones that GRBF uses today in a second run.

[@philbartlett7898]

Great news which i have been expecting for a long time. First thing to say is i am glad a manufacturer has managed to get the shape of the windscreens right. That alone makes the Accurascale 50 a cut above, before the other gizmos they install. For me it will either be 423 in original condition. Or D444 in two tone green WHEN they announce it !!!

[@billmmckelvie5188]

Well there's a good guess immediately when you said you're on the Severn Valley Railway which is home to the Class 50 hoovers, it had to be a 50!

[@murrayangus]

I would have thought the class 40 a better fit when you consider what Accurascale have launched/planned - the Deltics, Class 37 and class 30/31.

[@oswestryroadtmd4850]

Looking forward to seeing many western and southern layouts based in 1970/80s

[@jamfjord]

I was excited for a Class 08 during the introduction, but then we got a boatload of Class 50 thrash and some good news, so I'm well happy 😁 Still shaking my head wondering how AccuraScale keep announcing so many models in quick succession - do they ever sleep?

[@gilbertporter4992]

Hopefully in time they will do the 08. I can see them doing it, as we need an upgraded newly tooled version for the British side of the hobby.

[@jamfjord]

@@gilbertporter4992 hope so, and completely agree; despite there being 00 scale 08s from other manufacturers, they are all compromised is one way or another.

[@boulecoq1700]

You managed to keep that quiet. Nice one lads. Mines ordered

[@mels1811]

Thank you for another wonderful video

[@StormmyStormmy]

I hope it will be a class 08 or a class 52 or a HST?

[@tobys_transport_videos]

And at 12.15, Hatton's have emailed everyone with the announcement!

[@jamfjord]

Yep, I was impressed by how well coordinated that was

[@DugmerJunction]

Excellent... 50021 "Rodney" Now ordered :D

[@sailingschooners8668]

Wonderful video and that sound .....

[@gordonclifford2272]

As a newby to the hobby, I’m sure someone can help me, what purpose do the chains provide on the bogies to the body?

[@formidable38]

Those chains are connected to the handbrake mechanism under both cab floors. A series of cranks a pull-rods are connected to a large worm gear that is in turn connected to the handbrake wheel on the cab's back wall. When its turned, the lever you see on the chain, pulls the brake cylinder piston thats connected to the brake rigging and so applys the brakes on that bogie.

[@Rule1ModelRailways]

HST please!

[@kevvynolan8753]

Please be a 40 or a 50.....

[@europacifictradersltd3717]

cool another accurascale model to be added to my accurascale collection

[@JB-ek4yx]

It'll be good to see 021 Dave modelled, just as the real one is moving ever closer to working a train somewhere! 👍

[@jwpalfrey]

Back 20+ years ago it was only Lima if you wanted a 50. Now we are being spoilt. Good news and I can see the logic, 55, 37 and 50 bogies are almost identical so with minor tooling changes there’s a huge amount they already have. New chassis and body moulding completes the model so it makes sense. Also give competition pricing there’s possibly room in the market. Certainly a large following.

[@remmington-allumvidoes7266]

Plus another 50 "Rodney" at Eastleigh restored this year!

[@malcolmmacdougall]

good looking class 50, i like the grey version ``thunderer``

[@gs425]

Is there room for another 50 when the hornby one (although 20 years old) is still a finely detailed and operating model. The finest model hornby have made at a time when their quality issues were virtually unheard of too

[@mccarronfamily]

there's always room for a better, more detailed, better running, more accurate model with modern tech, lighting, stay alive, speakers and Cheaper too!

[@JB-ek4yx]

Some excellent thrash footage!

[@TomDavias]

Eeeeee excited!!

[@markmaw8]

Wow. Never seen a 50 in intercity Livery before.

[@alanrobertson9790]

On no the CAD has those chains going between the bogies and the body. From Accurascale Deltic experience they are more trouble than they are worth. I'd be happy with some moulded plastic chains on the bogies.

[@mccarronfamily]

They go from Chassis to bogie, like the Class 37

[@marklittlejohn1457]

Exciting plan's would be up for an ark royal great video thankyou

[@nitonion7481]

Looking very good, I wonder have accurascale improved the slow running issue that the deltic suffers from. Also can you fit zimo decoders? Very disappointed with ESU….. Looks to be a cracking model.

[@mccarronfamily]

A small number of models had some slow running stutter, which is cured by a CV change in your decoder - drop support a line for details?

[@nitonion7481]

@@mccarronfamily thank you. I am pretty sure I tried all the suggested options. I ended up with 2 dcc and 2 analogue versions and all of them are substandard compared to Hornby or Bachmann. Like you say a kind of stutter. I will re look into it now you mention it but pretty sure I drew a blank. Real shame as I love the look of them

[@mccarronfamily]

@@nitonion7481 Drop a note to accurascale support - the team there are very responsive and helpful

[@shannonman2]

Good news,give Hornby a run for their money, saw my self behind INDY AT 4.21.

[@andylaws4247]

A new over due Class 40 would have been better.

[@Richard4]

These locos' were built for the London Midland Region from Crewe to Glasgow and Edinburgh in which they kept to tight schedules and only went onto the western region once the electrification was completed to Scotland and then passed onto the western region to be name and shamed by GWR.

[@gilbertporter4992]

Why where they shamed by the GWR, and why where they disliked by some railfans?

[@oswestryroadtmd4850]

@@gilbertporter4992 Because they displaced the class 52s ,but it was the HST's that really displaced them

[@bendavis1575]

I hope 🤞 from a S160.

[@thebritfarmer]

I hope they make Renown

[@gilbertporter4992]

I have to ask, why is the class 50 disliked by some rail-fans?

[@locohauledforum]

It's considered an engine 'for the kids', all smoke, noise, names and special paint with no real substance. A loco that always suffered from poor reliability despite a huge amount of money being spent on their refurbishment, and this showed in it's relatively short service life on the railway : 1967-1992.

[@MikeParkin65]

Best videos in the business!

[@marksinthehouse1968]

Just ordered D423 I was born in 68 nice ,£189 these days not too bad but il stick with one ,right guv overtime please 😂

Love the 50’s but when is the Manor arriving

[@philbartlett7898]

Manors being manufactered now and shipped to us early in the new year

[@Samstrainss]

@@philbartlett7898 🤣I'm sure there will be another tosser video of someone from accurascale down with a real manor telling us how they have changed some inconsequential dimensions before they release them, rather than a frank statement saying why it's delayed and apologising for having taken money on the premis that it will be delivered by a certain date. Tis the way with Mr P conboy. Accuracy is in the name of accurscale as they love to boast, con is in the name of conboy.

When in Q1/Q2 2023 will we expect the Class 31 and 37?

[@Samstrainss]

Uhh somewhere about Q5 of 2033e30

[@bennickss]

@@Samstrainss I didn’t ask for your pointless sarky dig at Accurascale. They’re a new company, cut them some slack

[@Samstrainss]

@@bennickss they're really not new to the game at all. The people running the show have been in the game for many years just not UK models. They have plenty of experience and should know better than to make nonsense promises to their customers while taking their money upfront for models that are not even in production despite the delivery date suggesting otherwise. Slack can be cut when it's due. Not just because someones pretending to be a new player in the market. 2016 if you were curious, thats a whole 6 years to get the hang of not feeding the customer B.S., most 6 year olds know better... a 6 year old company run by full grown adults... welllll

[@mccarronfamily]

On schedule, the 37s start shipping in 2 weeks time, with the last batch due to leave the factory after Chinese new year. The 31 is still on schedule as per it's launch, for q2 next (April,May,June)

Class 47 would have been a better 'next' model as that was seen over virtually the whole network, even though I love the 50's, they were relatively restricted in distribution.

[@MrDavil43]

Whatever it is, I'd rather it wasn't available in "what if..." liveries. As a grumpy old modeller, seeing beautifully produced models in liveries they never carried devalues them, imho. A minor point, I know, and invites the response "Get a life!", but that's how I feel.

[@mccarronfamily]

Luckily Accurascale have never made anything in anything less than a fully accurate depiction

[@sapphirejunction8993]

Accurascale have never done that thus I wouldn't worry about it.
