Accurascale have announced new versions of their Class 55 Deltic.

Accurascale have taken all the constructive feedback received from the first Deltic production run and built it into a list of tweaks and enhancements they will now implement in the latest production batch.
Firstly, the brake chains on the bogies have been redesigned to make them more robust and a simple process to remove them to take the body off the chassis for driver fitting an routine maintenance. They will be a push fit system, meaning easy to remove and attach and no longer requiring any glue.
The corner step mounting and fuel tank parts have also been revised, with stronger mountings allowing for a more robust assembly. This will prevent them coming adrift in transit and be stronger under careful handling. Nose handrails will also be improved to give them a more realistic appearance, the speaker baffle will be more secure and other gentle tweaks will ensure that the Accurascale Deltic is even better.

Four new livery versions are being produced in both DCC Ready and DCC Sound Fitted variants:
ACC2785 Class 55 Deltic BR blue 55004 Queens Own Highlander
ACC2786 Class 55 Deltic BR blue with Silver 55013 The Black Watch
ACC2788 Class 55 Deltic BR Green D9018 Ballymoss
ACC2789 Class 55 Deltic BR blue 55020 Nimbus
