Accucraft (US) streamlined coaches

[Hugh Napier]

Last November Accucraft (US) announced the production of streamlined passenger cars in 1:32 scale and 45mm gauge and have now released further images of one of the engineering samples, this one carrying Southern Pacific ‘Lark’ grey livery. These fine scale cars are constructed with metal bodies, die-cast trucks and metal wheels and as the photos show have fully detailed interiors and a very high standard of finish.

They will be available in sets of six cars (1 Baggage Car, 2 Coaches, 1 Sleeper Car, 1 Observation Car, 1 Diner Car) for an amazingly good price of £1080.00 or as individual cars at £210.00. There will probably only be one batch of these coaches in 2014.

Dimensions: 30” x 3.8” x 5.2”
Road Names: Unlettered, SP light & dark grey, UP Grey, NYC, SP Daylight, UP Yellow, N&W, Pennsylvania, CP (no road numbers).

Mmmmmm....nice
It will be good to see how they stack up against the USA Trains steamlined fleet at nearer 1:29 scale.
As they are also made from extruded aluminium, have detailed interiors and lighting it will be a good fight!

I have a string of the Rio Grande prospector/ski train cars and they are very nicely built with metal couplers and all..
