HM210: Accurascale 'OO' gauge GWR 'Pannier' tank project update

[@sodor_dan-da-man]

I love that shade of green on 5741. Would prefer it to be produced in that colour but will be happy when mine arrives regardless

[@3021오승주]

yea.. seems like even some people in the non-thomas community want that livery, and they're just TEASING us with that decorated sample

[@captaincool3329]

If you've read The Railway Series, you know Duck's number is 5741. Please, keep this livery option open- there's a queue lining up already for it and the lighter shade really *pops* , even if it's inauthentic, it looks good.

[@JackDawes-yg6kr]

Dude, that 5741 is absolutely legendary. The lads at accurascale knew what they were doing with that 😉

[@JDCalvert91]

These look gorgeous. My first ever locomotive was a Hornby 2721, and it's still my favourite even though it's 30 years old (and the tooling even older!). These are another level of detail!

[@robinsweet7170]

Great to see Steve's superb knowledge of the subject getting an airing.

[@davidhinks8384]

I have a shirtbutton on order, I wish I could order another two. So look forward to mine. What a lovely model.

[@andrewhotston983]

They do look excellent.

[@drevo50]

Brilliant looking models. Kings and Castles next, please!

[@adeerdoes]

Please leave 5741 in that shade of green.. we all know why you did it.. an it worked! Take a note out of Rapidos book an jus have fun!

[@MrStuFew]

A “typo” 😉

[@stretchedits]

Hi, that was a great video. I like all the various detail differences, and to have someone point these out is great. Thank you.

[@thelittlewesternmodelrailway]

So glad I preordered, these look grand! (Slipped fingers and pressed the wrong key my arse :D Keep a livery like that for 5741 :D )

[@HexAyed]

As much as I'm of the mindset that goes "ugh, another kettle", I have to admit, the detail is amazing. I'd happily welcome more L&YR and L&NWR locomotives

[@mikeparkin903]

Another superbly informative video - thanks

[@nintendofanlp]

Please let us purchase a 5741 in your "typo" Green paint scheme. It looks just like the real deal from The Railway Series. You know what you did and it worked. I would happily purchase it.

[@andrewmeah3082]

Great video and the pannier tank engines look great

[@brianrobinson2962]

Fantastic model

[@TokuandThomas]

5741 is excellent as is, especially given its fictional history. I would highly recommend keeping it as is (or offering it to customers as is)

[@lilyzzworld]

That typo literally made Duck, lowkey hope they produce thaht 5741!

[@davidashworth5740]

Pity there's no Southern examples like the ones allocated to Nine Elms or Folkstone. Maybe next batch?

[@jamfjord]

😅 typo my a***, Steve - funny how the typo coincidentally matches Duck's livery and number. Very funny, that. My money is on a "whoops, we accidentally ordered a small number of 5741 models in that colour, better make it an accurascale exclusive" announcement 😉 PS they all look lovely and I'd like one of each, please. Just need to sell a few possessions and internal organs...

[@nickclay9401]

Another vote here to keep the green on 5741 👌🏽

[@talesfromthesupplydepot665]

5775 in GN&SR livery would be a lovely special edition

[@c5173]

looking great!

[@reeheehee9615]

So show of hands, who prefers 5741's livery and who doesn't? Juat curious.

[@TokuandThomas]

many do!

[@thedancinglawn]

Hoping Steve draws up some narrow gauge again in the future ;)

[@CrimsonJay21]

You could use this chassis for a custom donald/douglas👀

[@NewModelRailway1]

The take away from this is there is a need for smaller but heavier stay alives.

[@dakdak7609]

Looking great, except for the coal that needs work to bring it up to spec with the rest!

[@DaveAtLittleton]

Would love to see 'duck' available... hmmm, some how I don't think this was a mistake, I recon they wanted to pass it off as a mistake and see how people reacted :D

[@robertbate5790]

Red number plates. I was always under the impression that red backed name/number plates were an unofficial 'trade mark' of Plymouth Laira shed. I know they are generally popular among Western fans though.

[@Tauraco00]

Love them panniers tooo muchRegards Lizzie

[@oswestryroadtmd4850]

They look fantastic, looking forward to receiving the BR black one

[@modelrailwaynoob]

Perfect for a lunchtime watch when working from home. I'm not a fan of this class but I am tempted by the London Transport as I have some other locos and rolling stock. I think the fake coal looks awful though and it is a turn off.

[@AtreiusLux]

I know I'd be tempted if the green on 5741, not prototypical but still looks nice.

[@stufindlow6664]

Were non of these fitted with copper topped chimneys in real life?

[@hornbymag]

Some were like the 94XX locos, however a vast majority of the pannier tanks just had cast chimneys.

[@stufindlow6664]

@@hornbymag great shame none of these new tanks were given it. It's a classy feature

[@stevepurves2437]

@@stufindlow6664 No 57xx or 8750's were ever fitted with copper capped chimneys in real life unfortunately

[@EllieMaes-Grandad]

Forget the tops, look at the main body of the chimney. There was a taper towards the top . . .

[@littlemaster22]

I hope that LT Maroon gets changed. It looks far too bright to me.

[@ethmister]

Far far to bright

[@mccarronfamily]

It will Steve said so
