New Accy Countess/The Earl. Exact price to be advised. Manual version approx £990, Radio Control version approx £1282. This cannot be fixed yet due to movements in the £ against the $.

You've gotta be kidding, if they keep that manual for around a grand that's a total bargain. Saw it in the flesh and it was totally off this country :lol: .

Looks nice.

But these locos have been made before. Was it by Pearse?

Now if some one would do one of Dougal then I'd be very interested.

Very probably - seeing as Accucraft UK were formed by Ian and Sandy Pearse. Seems like alot of the current range bear a very close resemblance to some of the Pearse locos.

Superb loco at a very reasonable price. However it doesn't really fit in with the direction in which I am moving.
