8750 Class - 9741 - British Railways Green - DCC Sound Fitted

Beautiful loco! It well lives up to the reputation that Accurascale has earned of late!

Literally when I'd given up hope of acquiring a third example Accurascale came up trumps in notifying that a limited number had become available (#9741). Having now one each of Class 57xx, 67xx and 8750 variants has proven to be money well spent - they are all simply outstanding and would look well placed on a "Heritage themed preservation line layout" based on several visits back home to Cornwall visiting family. Such detail, finish and performance have inspired me to pre-order a couple of the forthcoming GWR Class 78xx "Manor" 4-6-0 Steam Locomotives.

A new star i born! This little beauty is all I hoped for, it lives up to all the earlier reviews and has justified my decision to have one for myself. It even barks like the little terrier-like beast it is. Small, good looking and feisty! Out of sheer curiosity, I ran it without sound. It is truly silent!

I was late to the party for the first round of Panniers, but I was successful in ordering a member of each of the 8750 and 5700 classes when more models were released to the wild on the website. They are absolutely superb in their operation and detail, and I love how many extra bits are included in the parts poly bag. I've ordered another pair from the second batch to fill out my roster. You can't go wrong with these locos.

Great little loco with a big heart.Punches well above its weight with looks and pulling power.Unstoppable

Only had it on rollers so far but looks and performs perfectly straight out of the box. After some initial problem with payment ( my fault ) order went very smoothly and arrived next day. Online chat worked well when needed. Rather be able to talk to someone but , dats progress !! Hope you have another run of these, I want another.

not yet tested ,there has beenan issue with contacts not correctly touching wheels .need to put loco on track which is still not setup

Overall, I'm very pleased with this model.
However, it arrived with the rear coupling detached and loose in the clamshell - easily fixed. But there was a small paint chip on the lower step on the side of the bunker, which is more of a disappointment. I'm not going to return it but will try to touch it up as best I can which ought to be possible, provided the colour matches - fingers crossed. That makes three Panniers now from Accurascale and they're going to be great to have on my layout.

Steps were loose in the box. Electrical pick ups weren’t touching the wheels. Had to fix these issues before it would run. Works well now.

Great loco runs great very good at low speed especially with the built in power bank.The sound profile is also very good.

Excellent model, runs superbly and sounds
Brilliant. Detail and livery spot on looks fantastic.
Only small problem a couple of small parts had to be reattached. Found loose in box front brake rod and a coal bunker step. A bit fiddly but replaced easy enough. That’s what prevents a five star rating. Quality control let things down.

After waiting 3 years for the arrival of this model I was most satisfied with this model. The running and finish is par excellence. I have fitted real coal and crew and it now looks completely perfect.

First class. The best steam loco ive purcahased this year

An absolute grand model to have!

Gorgeous

A truly stunning representation of this class. Livery application is flawless, and after running in, she’s operating smoothly. A removable cab roof would have been useful for fitting the crew, but this does not distract from the overall quality.

Another fantastic model by the Accurascale team, Amazing detail, Smooth runner and the sound is brilliant

Nice model but with all that detail should have a crew in the cab

A superb model with fantastic detail and a lovely decoration of the short lived GWR colours with British Railways lettering. The attention to detail is amazing and DCC decoder fitting is so simple. I have bought 3 different liveries and I’m very happy I did!

This Pannier tank with sound is just brilliant.
Its my first Accurascale loco.
Runs so sweet out of the box.
Highly reccomended.
I am so pleased with it.
