8750 Klasse - 9681 - Late Crest Black

This is my 2nd one! An absolutely wonderful model. Super fine detail outside and in (that you can't really see). This 9681 is the non-sound version and it runs exceptionally smooth and quiet. I was lucky enough to get the LT version with sound and that's just on a another level!! I'M LOVIN' IT

Very very good

An excellent model of a 57xx. My main concern is with a totally rigid chassis and coupling rods which don’t articulate converting to P4 may give rise to a few challenges.

The best rendition of a typical GWR pannier tank locomotive ever, in my opinion. Smooth and reliable running quantities, too.

Lots of finesse as one would expect. Fittings very fine and nice thin etched brake pull rods. I've got 5 of them now! Chimney not convincing though with lack of taper? Middle section looks too straight. Also I would like the tank lifting rings to be separate fittings and not moulded.

You can see why the model has justifiably earned such rave reviews

Excellent rendition of these iconic western region locos. Lovely runner packed with well executed detail.
Need to get decoder and crew bundle now.

Excellent quality model as always from Acurrascale. Very happy with mine. Thank you

I don’t have a use for this model currently on my railway, but it looked and is so good I just had to buy it. Not sorry I did either.
Keep up the good work.

Very impressed with this model, one of my favourite classes. Even though it has an immaculate paint job, I will weather it slightly, to give it that everyday look. My 9681 runs beautifully, and is currently the star of my layout. I would like another with the earlier flat roof cab, but they'd all sold out. I'm sure more will be produced.

10/10 would buy again

Great things come in small sizes and this model delivers that in large amounts.Fine details,nice weight and lovely performance.

I've recently received my pannier and I'm very impressed with all aspects of the model.

Very good quality model, prehaps not as glossy as the real engine at the Forest of Dean.
Only problem was the courier dpd who couldn't deliver to my home even after 6 attempts. It was finally left in an obscure delivery box. The outer packing was open, and the model box buckled

After purchasing D6703,D5549 and D423 which are magnificent runners the GWR pannier was a must and I was not disappointed
Perfect detail

Lovely model that lived up to expectations. The only downside was the pinitially oor running which took some time to sort out . After much running in it became clear that the problem was the wiper blade pick ups not making contact with all the wheels. Once sorted the running has been excellent, but in correcting the issue some of the underframe rodding/piping became detached and is proving very resistant to fixing

I recently received the Accurascale 8750 Class No. 9681 and I’m thoroughly impressed with the overall quality and attention to detail. The finish is exceptional, with crisp lining and accurate livery that really captures the character of the prototype. The running performance straight out of the box is smooth and reliable, and the level of detail on the cab and chassis is outstanding.

That said, there is always room for improvement. The packaging could be slightly more user-friendly for those who like to store models safely after use, and the instructions could include a little more guidance for fitting optional parts.

Overall, this is a fantastic model that demonstrates Accurascale’s commitment to quality and authenticity. I would highly recommend it to any GWR or steam-era enthusiast.

Stunning! Only word for it really. Beautifully made; such attention to detail. Worth the wait. And competitively priced for such quality.
Can’t wait for 🎅🏻 to allow me torun it on Christmas Day!

Superb model of the ubiquitous WR Pannier. Exquisite detailing above, below and inside footplate level, and runs rather nicely too. Another stunning success from Accurascale as far as I'm concerned, and goes nicely with the Manor class
