In late December, Accurascale unveiled images of decorated samples of its forthcoming GWR/ BR ‘78XX’ ‘Manor’ class locomotives. Like most manufacturers, Accurascale has had to deal with a few manufacturing and supply chain issues, which have caused a slight delay to the project’s timeline. However, now that these samples have been assessed and areas for improvement highlighted, production will now commence very shortly, with a delivery date of Q2 2022 now expected. Pre-orders are still being taken at Accurascale stockists, or direct from www.accurascale.co.uk
