Ordered at 14.15 yesterday. Delivered today at 11.15! Very well packed. The model is as good as others have said. Pleased that it has firebox glow on analogue.
I wrote a favourable review on 84 several months ago. After those months I was more than happy to purchase this version.
Absolutely fantastic livery and highly detailed.
I had previously bought three and was very happy to buy a fourth in order to make a longer rake. They are superb coaches
This is the second Class 89 I have ordered so went for the sound version.
The sound is great crystal clear smooth runner and top quality as usual from accurscale and fast deliver.
These superb models really capture the distinctive shape and character of the CIE 'bubbles'. I look forward to regauging them and backdating a few details, and then weathering them heavily.
These wagons are wonderful models; they perfectly capture the character of the prototype. I will enjoy re-gauging them and applying a hefty dose of weathering to tone them down a bit.
Lovely model runs beautifully and detail is on point. Etched number plates really elevate the model as well! Well done accurascale! 👍
Steam isn’t normally seen at Stockbridge station, but this mini gem is stunning! Feel the need to add a heritage station just for this little one.
Works as I hoped it would and gives both control of the firebox flicker and connection to the fitted stay-alive.
This is a lovely model with beautiful details and which just looks right. However, I am a little disappointed with one or two things. As delivered, the loco tended to stall quite easily. This was due to the chassis being very rigid and some of the pick-ups not touching the backs of the wheels, the latter I resolved easily. The other thing is minor and concerns the cast coal load which looks horrible. It was simple enough to remove this, cut the top off, replace and add real coal. Gilding the lily perhaps but the loco now looks superb from all angles and I am now really pleased with my model. Thank you Accurascale.
Sounds great, looks great, packaged well and lovely presentation.
One of the best 0-6-0 locomotives if have seen running on my layout.
Again would have been an easy 5 star if all wiper pickups touching wheels.
Looks and runs great. Packaged and presented brilliantly.
If the wiper pickups were touching all wheels I would have gladly given 5 star to and awesome model. Well done Accurascale. Well packaged. Well presented all you could want for a scale model in these current times.
I think most people would agree that the Accurascale Class 50 is the best model in any scale produced to date. Their 50006 ‘Neptune’ model represents the prototype in refurbished condition as it was from November 1979 into the very early 1980’s. 50006 was the first 50 to be refurbished and had a number of detail differences compared to later examples. The model portrays these, which include the blanked headlight, the grilled side window with raised grommet, and the retention of the outer pair of sandboxes. One end of 50006 also correctly has the offset handrail that was unique to this locomotive. They’ve also done the two different types of wiper on one end as per the prototype; how’s that for attention to detail! This model will be an ideal stablemate for Accurascales second run model of 50035 ‘Ark Royal’ in BR Blue unrefurbished condition.
The best wagons that money can buy. Love the NCB rolling stock being brought out.
Bought these to go into my J67 that I had as a birthday present last year and also the LokSound decoder as a christmas present. These figures really bring the whole model to life and are done to a quality that make it believable that the real locomotive and crew have been shrunk down to 1:76 scale. Would hugely recommend
It's always lovely to have quality RTR products with North East heritage, so I was quick to order a couple of packs of these hopper wagons when they were announced a while back. I'm pleased to say that Accurascale maintain their record for great quality highly detailed products and with a little gentle weathering, these superb wagons look fantastic on the colliery section of my layout. Looking forward to the upcoming Austerity tank to go with them!
The only small thing with my example was one of the handrail stanchions was broke, otherwise this locomotive is perfect and performs delightfully in every way.
5 stars for this one - fantastic sound!
Superb upgrade package - all works faultlessly after a 5-minute installation, literally, from lifting the DC only locomotive off the tracks to replacing onto the track!
Sound quality is excellent, and makes a huge difference to operation.
That very characteristic '37 thrash sound' is very faithfully reproduced!

Another great livery to add to the collection.
