My local dealer just sent a link to the new Accucraft 1:13 scale offering. http://www.accucraft.com/index.php?show_aux_page=187
It is an unusual looking beast as all proper 7/8" scale engines should be. having been working on a 7/8" scale engine, I find this is interesting. It seems to be another of the Ruby family of engines, perhaps with larger drivers and boiler? Looks like the same cylinders. It looks like a 1920's or later engine. I find the tank and large dome odd, I prefer the older stuff myself. I like the smokebox front and the spring details around the frame. It has possibilities for modifications.
Has anyone seen this in the flesh?
