German Accucraft Modified Lawley

Post by mhlr » Tue Jan 05, 2010 12:55 am

I love the colour of this:

Looks interesting, currently, 1950 Euros comes out about 1745 Pounds, so quite a lot for a Lawley!! (which you could modify yourself...)

Colour needs darkening! Why buy one modified when you can save money and have all the fun of modification though?

I like that, but 'tis a lorra money!

Depending on the success of the "alternative" Ragleth colours, I wouldn't be suprised if we see a little more colour variety across the range in the future.

Nice looking engine. Actually, my first thought on seeing it was of the Matheran Hill Railway engines...well, it's a light blue 0-6-0T with a big headlamp...anyone else see it or is it just me?

Not just you at all MuzTrem, now you mention it. Certainly looks more Colonial/ Asian than German!

Dragging this back on topic, the pump on the side of the loco looks interesting, could it be one of the regner working water pumps. It does look very nicely painted but i cannot see why the price is more than double the original

EDIT: looking more at the pics is this a factory modification as ive seen that lamp on other models and the paint looks factory finish

Right people, I've split off all of the Thomas stuff to a new topic on the off topic sections. More stories of failed attempts by HIT entainment & friends to sue most welcome :lol:

Certainly not worth the extra £1000, even though it's very nice.

I wonder- does that mean the tank(s) are functional then? Would certainly go some way towards explaining the price difference. Also it's full r/c- the radio fitted Lawley is rather more than the price mentioned in this thread.

Still a lot of money though!
