7824 – 'Iford Manor' BR Herregårdsklasse

Great looking locomotive. Attention to detail is great. Operation is smooth and reliable. Sound functions are comprehensive, only wish the sound file was a little louder or perhaps a large speaker in the tender. Great addition to the layout.

This is a very handsome model, with a lot of fancy features and fine details. Things like the smokebox and the water filler cap are very impressive indeed.
Unfortunately, I cannot give five stars because my particular example had some parts that were not glued on properly, namely the chimney and one of the lower steps on the tender. It’s not a major issue, and I was able to get the chimney glued in position myself, but not ideal.
I would also like to suggest that some tweaks are made when it comes to Chipping the locomotive. It was a bit too easy to knock off some parts when trying to unscrew the tender.
One final note, not a fault of the locomotive but something prospective buyers should know is that if you plan to chip this engine, please make sure the decoder you use is compatible with the onboard stay-alive. (The stay alive is excellent by the way, it can keep your engine running for several seconds before cutting out when the power is interrupted. Excellent feature.

Overall, a fantastic model, now I’ve sorted out my teething troubles I’m really happy with it and it is a welcome addition to my fleet.

This loco was an impulse purchase after it was made number one choice on the recent model rail replacement podcast locomotive fight club episode and what a loco it is, it looks beautiful and runs so well.

First Accurascale steam locomotive and its brilliant

A superbly detailed model, and a great and accurate sound profile to go with the loco. An ideal mid-sized Western engine for any branchline or mainline modeller!

I got this in a sale and I’m very impressed, one of the best sound fitted models I own
I have two of these (the other one being 7808 Cookham manor DC) at the moment and I would love a couple more, time for batch 2?
On that note, why not make the GWR Saint Class to the same standard? I would get at least five!

Not run it yet, but looks a lovely model

Delivery from England to Townsville Qld. Aus. 9 days. Great looking engine and well presented. Operation very smooth and quiet, no derailment in 30 min run forward or reverse. Unlike Dapol version of a few years back. Can already tell it’s going to be a favourite. Will get further from this brand.

This is my first purchase of a steam loco produced by Accurascale and I have not been disappointed. It is weighty, intricate and runs and sounds beautifully. Having already 55 steam locomotives in my collection, it was not my intention to add to same, but the Black Friday price was a no brainer. I was also able to my reward points which were about to expire. I often have the loco running round the layout, while on my desktop. The huffing and puffing are very therapeutic.

This is the second Manor I've purchased as the first was so good! This one has DCC sound which is excellent and adds another dimension to running the loco. An all round outstanding model.

Super value for money.The detail is exquisite

I cannot believe I picked this up in the Black Friday sale. It’s simply beautiful with incredible detail. It runs soo smoothly.

This is my 4th Manor Class from Accurascale - a credit to the manufacturer and the model! I finally decided to go for the seemingly less popular unlined black livery and find myself very surprised with how smart it looks. I think it's now a favorite of mine. The model is excellent as always!

I bought this one as one of Accurascale's splendid Black Friday deals. I'd bought another when they were first released which had a couple of issues, but this one is flawless and ran beautifully straight out of the box from an almost imperceptible crawl. A couple of minor CV tweaks and a decoder firmware upgrade to give the sound more bass is all I've done. Superb.

I think the Accurascale Manor catches the prototype proportions very well. DCC sound fitted version runs very well from a slow crawl. The only issue is with the sound volume very low and lacks a decent bass note. Great model and I will be probably upgrading the speakers.

This loco could not be faulted its slow running before running in excellent haulage power excellent. Loco also negotiated layout without problems on points unlike a couple of other fleet loco’s. My only regret being not going for a sound version, this clearly can be rectified. It certainly earns it position as pride of steam fleet.

Having already bought two of these models I couldn't resist it when seeing this model was on sale. Like the other two she runs perfectly, and sound fitted is even better. Definiyely would recommend this to anyone.

A stunning model, great detail and runs beautifully.

Top Quality at a reasonable price, thanks.

Beautiful model which looks very smart in unlined black. As usual with Accurascale there is loads of fine detail and premium features yet the price is more than reasonable. It would be a five-star loco but for two things: it seems a little underpowered, slowing a bit on 2nd radius, and the one I received appeared not to have received any lubrication at the factory and was therefore not actually read-to-run.

My first Accurascale loco and very impressed at the detail and the weight, very heavy. Very smooth runner far superior to my old Bachmann Manor's

Iv always used diesel locos and thought I'd try a steam locomotive, i got the accurascale manor class dcc sound in black,wow what a beautiful and detailed locomotive very realistic and the sounds is super very realistic, i would recommend this steam locomotive to anyone who is thinking of buying a steam locomotive , well done accurascale

Excellent detail and very heavy.

My 3rd Mannor and second in plain black. Really looking forward to weathering this one. The plain black makes a great blank canvass for detailed weathering. Will have this one looking the part with work stained finish, real coal, lamps and irons and crew.
Really nicely proportioned 4-6-0 and very useful for a small branch line layout.

Firebox light is too bright. Rest of loco great 👍

Accurascale were very kind in donating this loco to our Folkestone Model exhibition so that we could raffle it off.

Amazing loco great detail the sound is top of the line looking forward to placing my next order

First I will say that the loco looks lovely with it's matt smokebox and intricate details, however the sound output as supplied is very lacking. Comparing to another manor I have from another company the sound is like something from 12 years ago. The sound lacks any depth and the volume is low even on ESU max settings. Looking inside the tender you can see why as the majority of the space is taken up by the PCB with the most pathetic speaker below which is not even fully enclosed, Accuthrash this not. While I do appreciate space is limited in this size of model the manor I have from another company has a much larger speaker in the tender with much better sound reproduction. Another issue is that the model does jutter at low speeds either starting or stopping again something my other manor does not do. So although I think the overall look and detail of the Accurascale manor is better, the running and sound is much better in my model from another company. To be honest I am a little disapointed, but I think this is more to do my expectation after hearing some of the companies diesel loco sounds

Another amazing loco by Accurascale
