A Bunch of Banana Deco Samples Arrive

A Bunch of Banana Deco Samples Arrive

Time for another progress report, and this time it's the first showing of the decorated samples of our lovely Southern Railway D1478 and D1479 Diagram Banana Vans in OO/4mm. 

We alluded to receiving decorated samples of these vans when we launched our latest "Accurascale Exclusive" model last week, which was the Departmental Ballast Cleaner Support Van, repurposed from a D1478 wagon. 

Now, we get to share the rest of the Banana Van range with you. 

Particular attention has been paid to the logos of the differing banana importers, and getting the torn and worn look of these labels spot on, just like the prototypes. Distressing has also been added to the roof area of the departmental 'Tadpole' vehicles, to reflect their later life condition complete with replacement and beaten planking.

The roof distressing is a complex and expensive process of tampo design and printing, but we feel it just adds that extra bit of realism to the models. 

These models are now signed off for production and it is now underway, with our delivery schedule of Q3 2023 remaining on course. Prices are £84.95 per triple pack of individually numbered wagons, each with their own unique decoration and each feature market leading specification from diecast chassis, a wealth of separately applied details and brass bearings for axles to ensure silky smooth running. 

Remember too, that if you buy direct from our website you get 10% off when you buy two packs or more and free UK postage and packaging. Pre-order below, or via your local stockist.
