LOL, an Accucraft Anorak

Come on guys, dont keep knocking it, we haven't seen the final version yet! And thats the first picture we get to see. I think it looks better than edrig a bit anyhow, and provides a great scope for modification (ie, add your own cab back, make a tender loco or whatever!).

they should have just released edrig with a half cab and a tender!

would have been great!

better than this pile of pig vomit!
honestly I expected to see some effort but this is just a load of edrig and caradoc parts put together! no thought or creativity put into it at all, as long as its slightly different to the last to products it doesnt seem to matter to them.

and I was really hoping for something new and fesh

OK OK we've seen your point of veiw pauly!! You don't like it, yes. Maybe they should rename Accucraft to Porsche - never change!

It's all down to cost. If they made something completely different, they'd need new tooling, etc etc and the cost would add up, meaning a basic loco would become too expensive.

thinking about it does it matter what it looks like ? So long as it runs well thats all that really matters

I'd like one, solely for the purpose of modifying it.

It reminds me of one of the Pearse generic locos:

I believe there was an 0-4-0 version, but I can't find any images of that.

Yes, well it does to me. I am an anorak, there for i think things kmust be and look right.

I agree with most of the members. If they had kept the Caradoc cab, or fitted the nice one from Lawley, I think it would look good, but this model just doesn't look right.

I wish Accucraft would make more prototipicial loco's. How about a L&B 2-6-2? Or a Quarry Hunslet?

I reckon that that is on the cards, given the future release of the coaches and the current range of rolling stock.

The roof will probably be removeable as per Caradoc etc to access the filler cap. And they say on their website 10th August, so perhaps it's nearly available in the shops.
