Accucraft 'Countess'

Post by MTA » Fri Jul 04, 2008 9:18 pm

Have any pictures of the Accucraft Countess been released yet?

I have been looking for a good, affordable scale loco and this seems to fit the bill nicely.

Will it be up to the callibre of its Pearse counterpart though?

No I saw one at Warley & Stoneleigh but I reckon it was just a Pearse example

No pictures as yet, but I am told by Ian that the Countess will have more detail than the Pearse Countess. He has planned to go to China and test the engineering sample at the end of this month.

No Matt, It won't go the same way because I'm sure Ian Pearse will of learnt from the mistakes made in the past, which is why I'm told that he went to China and checked all the final batch off Garratts at the factory.
