Vary good not fitted yet but watched a clip on YouTube and vary life like in the cab feet up .
Easy to fit but bits fall off the chase the decoder works well but found problem with the bogies.
Another successful model from Accurascale. Smooth running straight from the box. Even I. A dirty track and yet to be run in. Sound quality very good compared to a recent purchase from another well known company. One small problem. One chain dropped down from the chassis on its first full run round my layout. Contacted Accurascale. They came back with a very prompt reply. Suggested removed body shell and using PVA to re stick it. Body was easy to remove. Took the opportunity to install Accurascale figures in the cab at the same time.
Purchased these before. A bit on the pale side but a bit of acrylic colour to match soon improves them. Good for any GWR righthand drive loco from 1920’s onwards.
They are great looking and will be improved once my Deltic that I have ordered arrives.
Another fine looking model from Accurascale and I love the fact that they offer a version in pre-TOPS blue, which is a welcome change and very much appreciated by me and others that model this period.
I do have a couple of very small issues. The buffer beam pipes supplied are beautifully modelled though I found the control air and main res pipes too long which would cause fouling when running. I ended up shortening the pipes by approx 4mm and touching in the ends of the pipes with a tiny amount of white/yellow paint as appropriate.
The other issue is with the removal of the keeper plate for lubrication and/or fitting EM/P4 wheelsets. I found this very fiddly, necessitating removal of the bogie side frames and the cross members, which I struggled to get back into their correct position afterwards. For the majority of older, less detailed models, removal of the keeper plate was simply a matter of popping off the 4 or 6 side clips, have we perhaps sacrificed simplicity for extra detail?
One of the nose end lamp irons was missing but AS support are sending me another in the post, so hardly the end of the world. Also, one of the buffers had fallen off, but again, hardly earth shattering and was easy enough to fix back into position.
Overall a lovely model and I'm looking forward to running it for many years.
Comicly whimsical whilst also being incredibly well details really pleased with these cant wait for my new 66 to install to there new home
The definitive 37. Impeccable detail, running and sound, with great after sales service too!
My second Siphon G, the buy prompted by being advised by Accurascale to use my loyalty points.
So as superb as my first Siphon G but with a distinctive colour. Very pleased.
Another superb quality product from Accurascale.Well packaged and presented.Real hefty to the model which ran faultlessly straight from the box.Sound excellent!
Three very nice wagon models. The brake gear is just like the prototypes. I remember this vacuum braked 21T mineral wagon design from my BR engineering career.
Excellent quality and incredibly detailed wagons with an excellent paint and decorative finish. No signs of glue or other defects. Also, I used my Accurascale points which meant I go the set of three wagons at a really great discounted price.
I'm loseing count of how many of these I have now, they look so good, run smooth and are feature rich, has a good weight so call pull long trains. The Euro Porte grey livery is very striking. If you model modern image this is a must have class to add to your fleet, even if you have no OHLE.
My first locomotive from Accurascale. I'm delighted. Great sound and a really beautiful model.
They go nicely in other locos, but have some ready to go in my new accurascale Class 31s. Print seems more crisp, compared to previous Crews.
