5700 Klasse - 5741 - GWR Grøn

Simply the best

Lovely little engine , just adore having it on my layout and at my desk, runs well tho installing dcc was a head ache for me. Engine does seem to quack

Received mine in December, but have completely forgotten to write a review till now.

A standout runner! Beautifully presented too! Not to mention this engine and its crew helped prevent a serious accident.

It was a very close... Um... Shave! 🪒

Great detail and smooth slow running to match.

Wow what an outstanding model. This is my first accurascale model and I gotta say I’m a big fan easy 10 out of 10 for me. Can’t wait for Wilbert to come out soon!

Perfect representation of GWR pannier.

Amazing detail and someone without many modern spec locos, this was incredibly nice to use.

What a lovely locomotive. It looks and runs absolutely brilliant. It has loads of fine details, yet is still very servicable. While the pickups on my locomotive weren't touching the wheels all the time, this was a very easy fix. An absolutely amazing loco and definetly a new favourite in my collection.

Very glad to get one, good job as always from these guys

I was disappointed about the fact, that this engine wasn't delivered in the color as advertised, but overall the engine performs well and I am satisfied.

Yet another great model. Got this having lost out on the London Transport variants, but no regrets. Truly fantastic model. Fully detailed, robust and a good runner on DC testing. Yet to run under DCC as rebuilding my layout.Can'treally add more praise than has already been rightly lavished upon this lovely example. Accurascale have now cemented itself firmly as my manufacturer of choice and this model only adds to that belief. Now waiting like an expectant father for "Wilbert"!!

Lovely model runs beautifully and detail is on point. Etched number plates really elevate the model as well! Well done accurascale! 👍

I received the engine a few days ago and it runs like a charm. A fine addition to my model railway fleet. The trucks and coaches behaved well and the passengers stopped grumbling. (Obvious Railway Series/Thomas reference). All jokes aside it's money well spent.

I hate to give such an amazing model a one star but I wanted to draw attention to this review. The pannier tanks are perfect 5 star models but unfortunately mine arrived slightly damaged. I’ve been trying to contact accurascale about a replacement part for about 2weeks now and I have still not gotten a response back. I really want my model to be perfect but unfortunately I can’t seem to get any help. Accurascale if you see this can you please respond to me email and let me know what I should do. Thanks

What a great little engine - terrific detail, and probably the best runner that I have, a title previously held by a Hornby J15! It seems to be quite sturdy, so I hope it holds together as well as the venerable pannier from another manufacturer - I think it will...

A very impressive looking model from Accurascale. The 5700 Class Pannier Tank is very detailed and has an attractive GWR Green livery. An informative booklet about this class of locomotive was also included. Overall, I am very impressed with my latest purchase from Accurascale.

Runs perfectly around my loop and looks great doing it, the delays on the project were a shame but the result is brilliant!

A fantastic model that many others have found just as impressive, and a much needed update to the, frankly, dated existing models from other manufacturers. Accurascale have hit it out of the park with this one and if they continue to deliver like this, they'll be getting a good bit more of my money in the future, especially if they continue to deliver variants aimed at a certain group of book enthusiasts (13236 as-built in Run 2 of the Class 08s perhaps?). Keep setting the standard, Accurascale.

Love it

A beautiful model. Excellent attention to detail and a very smooth runner. I'm very happy with my purchase.

The quality build of the locomotive is probably the best tank engine of the decade. Every modeler is going to want one of these on their layout due to how detailed they are and how smooth running is. Cannot recommend enough!

Always a pleasure to open a model box from Accurascale. First impressions give you the feeling of it oozing quality. It certainly does and ran sweetly straight out the box. Credit is due for the research put in by Steve Purves and the team to capture the details superbly. Looking forward to further production runs and hopefully a wartime black version.

A beautiful model! By far the best 00 gauge Pannier Tank! Very much worth the wait!

Love it.
Exactly what the market needed and for such a good price.
Perfect

Received my loco today. The loco is the best pannier tank in this scale I have ever seen. Smooth running on my rolling road to run it in. A lot of thought has gone into this model, the firebox glow creates an authentic steam era atmosphere. The packing and presentation with a history is a cut above the rest. The tool supplied for maintenance was a big surprise. Definatly worth fitting a sound upgrade, wish Accurascale had included a crew with it though. That would have been the icing on the cake.

What can I say? compared to the other Panniers in my fleet this new model blows them all out of the water..

Truth be told, I had been considering cancelling this order due to the problems with quality I found with my previous purchases from Accurascale. Thank goodness I didn't, because this model is absolutely flawless. The whole thing has been put together to an incredibly high standard, with excellent decoration and detailing. The GWR green is the perfect The mechanism runs as smooth as butter, plus the engine has a firebox flicker on DC and a coal load- two things that weren't present on the Buckjumper, despite that going for the same price! Just overall really happy with how this model has turned out- it's a Duck, not a Turkey!

Knowing that Accurascale made a model of none other than Duck, I had to jump on the opportunity to buy it immediately. It's very nicely detailed and runs smoothly. I have nothing but good things to say about it, and I'm really happy that I was able to get my hands on one of them. Very pleased with my purchase overall. If you can get a Pannier, do it - you will not be dissapointed
