Proper knowledge and working for a proper model manufacturer.

[@1701_FyldeFlyer]

Very impressive model and very impressive depth of knowledge about the class!

[@GarthDavies-cd5oh]

You just know that these will be great models. Preordered 60 001 as this will be the correct type for the era that I am doing. Just need to get a test coach .

[@BritishRail60062]

I am getting about 3-4 of these for my collection. Although I do cover O gauge mainly. I welcome this news with warmth and I am looking forward to seeing the progress.

[@James-Akers]

Fantastic looking models and nice to see the class getting so much attention from two major manufacturers. Its hard to choose which locomotives from accurascale to order, though coal sector is certainly tempting...

[@NewModelRailway1]

This guy has a seemingly encyclopedic knowledge of the class.

[@lonelysignalbox]

I’m like 99 percent sure I heard somewhere he used to actually drive the class 60s

[@brothermoto1964]

He explains why at the start 😊

Long live class 60!! Did your friend know about the rolling rubber ring primary suspension saga?

[@saddler501]

Can We have 60008 Moel Famau in two tone grey. Please!

[@Scottish-Exile]

Yup, and 094 Tryfan

[@rowlinsonpj]

No discussion on Accurascale vs Cavalex. The prospective purchaser is going to want to know which is best and doubtless that won't appear in the magazine once the models are delivered either. We want proper honest comparison and not one that flunks the issue for fear of losing advertising revenue.

This is a video where we talk to Accurascale. It's not a review or a comparison.

[@bobtudbury8505]

did you ask them how they took all west hills coach magnetic couplings because theirs are totally rubbish. Due on the market for us mere mortals but they took the lot, winds me right up. i bet they got several 0 gauge deltic engines with paperwork too

[@MrMattMWH]

Looks more red than maroon on the EWS livery
