Re: New from Accucraft
It looks like Accucraft UK are working through all the old Pearse locos and adapting the designs to be built in China.paullad1984:94682 wrote:Dont know if anyone else noticed this, but Accucraft have a new loco lined up for production:

Merlin never really died they just became Pease and Accucraft UK, not really surprising as the Pearse brothers created the Merlin steam locos and Merlin / Tom Cooper were the UK agent for Accucraft US.DVT Dweller:94706 wrote:Or in this case, going back to the start and Ian's time as Tom Coopers apprentice at Merlin.paullad1984:94698 wrote:I thought that too, not suprising really is it?

Donald (who did the wooden coaching kits etc) sold with Merlin was Ian's dad I believe. Merlin being Tom's company till taken over by Wendy (the less said the better).funandtrains:94717 wrote:Merlin never really died they just became Pease and Accucraft UK, not really surprising as the Pearse brothers created the Merlin steam locos and Merlin / Tom Cooper were the UK agent for Accucraft US.DVT Dweller:94706 wrote:Or in this case, going back to the start and Ian's time as Tom Coopers apprentice at Merlin.paullad1984:94698 wrote:I thought that too, not suprising really is it?

The redesigned Ragleth looks even nicer. I've been hanging my nose over one of them as my first 'proper' engine. But oh dear, the price increase has put paid to that for now. It would have been a real stretch before but there's no chance at the new price.

Steve, let me correct some of these assertions. Firstly, Merlin folded, end of story. Donald Pearse set up Pearse Locomotives, Ian Pearse (his son) established Marches Models in 2000 and this morphed into Accucraft (UK) - neither business had any connection with Merlin. Merlin never had any dealings with Accucraft (US) and were never agents for them.
Just sayin'

That wasn't my comment, it was a quote that I posted & corrected from funandtrains. I knew Merlin was Tom's company and both Donald and Ian were never part of the ownership.
