Five years of Accurascale

Accurascale approach its 5th birthday; Andy York talks to Fran Burke about the birth of the business and the challenges it overcame. There's a few hints to the future and what we may see this year, too.

An honest and enjoyable conversation. So good to see small companies doing well.

Thanks Tony; WYSIWYG with Accurascale.

Accurascale has done well for such a young company. Second to ScaleTrains in my experiences and I would to like to see Andy York and Shane Wilson do an interview as Shane Wilson is the founder of ScaleTrains.

Super interview guys. Accurascale are disrupters and innovators and it is great to be modelling at such a time. Keep up the good work Fran and team Accurascale!

The one thing that has impressed me is the amount of livery variations you have on offer very much looking forward to Syphon G and the class 50,

Great discussion lads 😂
Nice to hear a second run of Deltics coming out - my brother saw them in the model railway press and told me about his train spotting day’s watching them storm past 😮
Might have to get one with sound just to wind him up 😂😂😂
Fran has got us all betting on what’s coming out this year 😵‍💫😵‍💫😛

Thank you Andrew! There's certainly a couple of new tooling announcements coming up in the next couple of months.

Cheers Andy, nice interview - a great insight into Accurascale's history and where they're headed with a couple of tasty exclusives. Cheers to Fran and the rest of the team for the passion and hard work they put in. If Fran is reading this, any chance of a Colas Rail Class 37 in the next run? If so, put me down for two please. It's the only way - the prototypes always seem to come in pairs...
Seriously though, big thanks to you both - very inspiring interview.

Thanks Jam; it's always entertaining to talk to any of the Accurascale team - there's also a chat with Paul Isles about R&D here ua-cam.com/video/QZqmY8EMRhI/v-deo.html

@@world-of-railways thanks, just finished watching it - fascinating and entertaining

[@philbartlett7898]

Great chat and thanks verry much both.

[@world-of-railways]

Our pleasure!

Hello gentlemen, can you please do a rerun of the class 37 network rail yellow livery, so many modellers missed the offer, also could you look into doing a RTC livery class 31 and maybe some coaches and wagons, the secondhand price of the Bachmann items is criminal! Also a Harry Needle class 37 would be amazing.

[@europacifictradersltd3717]

wish accurascale introduce 40 & 54ft container and trailor wagons with 4 wheel bogies and well cars for double stacked containers

[@simondimps1002]

what would be nice is they start making new rolling stock like new dmu's and emu's units and new loaco have not been done

[@marklittlejohn1457]

Great interview thankyou for the video

[@world-of-railways]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@petereaton6982]

Always ''Interesting!'' - thank you both.

[@world-of-railways]
