A really good looking model with so many variants. Great stuff.

Wow. Plenty of home work has been done for that one!! Excellent coverage. One surprising omission from the initial list is the ENPARTS version. Perhaps this is just slivery change rather than physical. Such a long and varied life span gives so many options even for non GWR fans. Brilliant, thank you.

Thelast time I recall one was loading newspapers into it overnight at Euston in 1969/70.

[JohnPW]

Very impressive range, and what an education! Nice job guys. Happy Christmas and New Year btw!

I've got 2 siphons, but both airfix ones: one outside framed Siphon G and one Siphon H, and I run these with 3 bachmann collett coaches. I'm considering getting more collett and hawksworth coaches from hornby to make a full express in GWR livery.
These new ones look fantastic, and I'm now tempted to get a BR blue pair in different variants and also break away the BR blue coaches from my mixed early BR parcels rake to form a pre-blue rake and a blue rake. Fortunately since it's a year until they're due, I should have a job and be able to afford them by then. £55 for a single unmotorised vehicle without lights seems a lot, but the tooling differences and sheer range of them makes it more worth it than the Hornby mk3s DVTs with massive light bleed and not much tooling variation for £75 or the bachmann mk2f DBSOs which aren't available in many liveries at all for £75 with no option for the network rail or DRS ones (and I don't know if the anglia ones would be more similar to the DRS/NR ones or the older ones).

[mickboakes]

Definitely another level. Amazing detail

[alexdrennan]

Crumbs i can remember these coaches at malifant sidings and at temple meads in the early 80s and thats what got me interested in coaching stock

[johnstephens]

What do you mean “had a Lima Siphon G!?” Still got two that are run regularly! Exciting from Accurascale though.

[bentullett]

I know what these will go well with a certain other GWR locomotive being released by Accurascale.

[dekhrahahoon]

Great job. One request: can you make the couplings stick out just a bit less, to close up the gap between coaches? There is heaps of room before you run into buffer locking.

[Deuce_and_a_half]

I didn't know the names of these wagons, I used to call them clerestories without the clerestory, as they had the same roof arc and body shape as the GWR Clerestory coaches, just without the top window bit, and I run them in the same rake together.

[danbrewer]

They look great! If you preorder something now that you will not receive till 1st quarter 2023 at the earliest when do you pay for it?

[dinmorejunctionmodelrailway]

Could it be a Class 50 let's hope so.

[marksinthehouse]

Was going to say where’s Richard but noticed him on toppey dales platform hehehe, anyway Mike will probably get a rail blue one I still have my Lima model and for it’s day it was good especially in 1980 they cost £2.00 in Trent’s in Reading, seeing the real ones behind a class 50/47 and Mk2 coaches on a Penzance service from Paddington going through North Pole near scrubs lane with dad, all the best

[andrewdking]

£55 quid for a wagon with no interior nor windows. And Heljan want £130 for a 2-pack Cargowagon set. What's going on. Taking the P

[ThePhosphater]

When will we see some O gauge stock from Accurascale please

[NarrowGauge]

Steam !! Where's my Manor class engine that I paid a deposit for in April?

[alexd-b]

Here's hoping it is a 25k ac EMU! 319/325 perhaps!

[ewsdneaxeaxe]

Please start producing your locomotives in metal for better traction and look🙏🙏🙏

[keaganwright]

Bit of shame you decided to omit the 1920’s Liveries and focused in multiple of the shirt button instead -unless there are differences to tooling? I’ll have to give this one a miss I’m afraid.
