  1. I’ve an HST with 3 coaches and magnetic couplings. Runs on R2 upwards at speed and I’ve also tried it on R1 in the sidings without issue. Hope this helps.
  2. Mine is as lovely as a mk1 on the straights and only slightly reticent on curves so initially I’m going to adopt the aforementioned running in method. It’s doing an hour or so with the 08.
  3. Unfortunately, there’s an audience for narcissistic grifters to play to with a willingly complicit media. Witness yesterday’s BBC news website which featured four different articles about Trump and none about the sitting US President. The YT opinionaters you mention have discovered that Hornby TT120 provides oxygen for their tiny little worlds.
  4. Apologies for my poorly worded sentence @Hobby1707822967 my query as to why get involved in this manner was aimed at Accurascale and not the inimitable @Dodge1965
  5. Which begs the question why get involved in this manner.
  6. Maybe I received a poor example as they’re not as vibrant looking as the website pic (which do look a bit pale upon closer inspection) From their reputation this doesn’t happen with their locos and rolling stock.
  7. Imho, they are washed out and a fairly useless addition for £15. However, if AS pursue the scale then the cost may be mitigated somewhat.
  8. I think the most telling words used by @Dodge1965 come near the end of that video: ”…..that’s staying as is, for now…” One of the most enduring attractions about my layout is its ever changing mood(s).
  9. Ordered a set. They’ll find a place on the layout. Encouragingly coy of Accurascale.
  10. There’s been a plot waiting for its arrival for at least 12 months. Nice touch with the internal glazing seemingly stained glass patterned

  13. Can the same spreadsheet be done for 50s and 66s please
  14. Pretty much any combination of traction and rolling stock will find use at Skelton Junction. The only parameter I’m broadly sticking to is that it’s been in use in my lifetime. The layout is a railway version of Cosford’s Cold War museum 😃 where everything on display I can remember being in active service.
  15. Now this is disappointing but not insurmountable. Please will folks report on theirs and the 57s.
  16. I’ve emailed them to express delight at their support and interest in researching the scale and hoping it delivers products for them/me.
  17. My orders for the 50’ (“😁) and 57s to accompany the BR tank engine have to wait until the 50s, Mk2fs and hoppers’ points are in the bank.
  18. I received the St Andrews church preorder email is in stock
  19. I’m also observing that negative comments posted on here go largely ignored. There were a couple yesterday that have clearly failed to read the room.
  20. All of the 50’ and 57’ coaches now showing as in stock too
  21. I’m a fan of them both - hope that helps 😃
