I have been looking for an Accucraft Baguley model for a long time. I even called U.S. Accucraft and it seems this model has been terminated for a while. I wonder if anyone knows where get this model new or used please contact me.

Trackshack on the Isle of Man, may still have some.

I have checked Trackshacks website and they say they will receive new stock in May.

I really like the model, While waiting for the new stock coming up later this year, if anyone has an Accucraft Baguley new or used that needs a new home, please let me know.

Oddly enough I've just recently placed an order for one from trackshack. Lots of places I looked seem to be getting more in May. Is it something to do with Accucraft updating the model itself?

Trackshack told me back order in May, but Accucraft told me they will have in stock sometime later this year. They didn't mention what the timeframe is. You are lucky anyway to get a new one from Trackshack just recently.

As a point of note, the Accucraft mannin was due around a year ago according to Track-Shack and the date has has been moved each month another month forwards. Though they do say it will be late March this year now, we shall see as I have watched the date change month after month on the Track-Shack site. Forever hopeful

Never try to hold Accucraft to a date

Have a Baguley Drewery Green Diesel for sale. After all this time would you be interested in buying it.

I hope you give me a good deal.

Engine sold on eBay as there was no response on this forum. Sorry.

I bought one off Ebay, to convert to battery with RC control. I am not to keen on the little electric motor, so I'm currently researching alternatives.

Any ideas?

Roger at Friog offers a replacement chassis for the early plastic chassis Accucraft Baguley models. I have one of the early Motor Mules that he built for Tom Cooper and the chassis is built like the proverbial brick outhouse.

Alternatively Essell sells motors, gears, etc. that could be used for rolling your own chassis similar to the Friog one.

Both suppliers use Como motor/gearboxes and metal bevel gears for the final drive, which would be my choice for building a heavy duty diesel chassis.

I'm not sure but the chassis Essel use for there Harlech Castle or maybe Chattendon would be the right size for a replacement chassis. I think the real Harlech Castle was built from a Baguley loco.
