9016 Gordon Highlander

This was just one of a number of Deltics that I ordered. It looks and sounds absolutely amazing, and I'm sure with the passage of time the quality will just keep getting better. Love running these locomotives on my layout. Brilliant job guys and keep up the good work.

An absolutely beautiful loco in livery application and fine details. Amazing to think how little this costs compared to the "big boys" in the model railway manufacturers.

My first impression is that the Deltic is good value value for money when compared to other models on the market. The finely detailed model itself is of a very high quality. The only downside to this model was that the chains on one of the bogies had become detached. Sound is excellent as is it's overall running performance. Keep up the good work guys!

I'm so pleased that I bought this locomotive as it has very good paintwork, cab lights and highly detailed bufferbeam pipeworks. Also the sound quality is very good on top of good pulling power. The Accurascale crew complements with this locomotive. I don't have problem with this loco running over the points!

Fantastic model, my first Accurascale locomotive but it certainly will be the first of many, Fantastic model at fantastic value, Very pleased and would highly recommend it

I always liked the porterbrook purple livery and this model looks spot on.

Just received this model at the 3rd time of asking as it was sold out and i missed the 2nd chance for re purchase.
The model is stunning, Runs very smooth and the detail is second to none.
Only criticism i have is the packaging. For 1 loco the box was massive, enough for probably 5 or 6 locos and very little packing inside so the actual loco box was flying around in there.

A real triumph of miniature engineering. So much weight without compromising the details gives this a real presence on the track. The sounds are just right and really capture the prototype well.

The long wait is over and the Class 55 Deltic from Accurascale does not disappoint with its many features or to one's eye. The printing of the livery is top notch with clean lines all around on my version of this locomotive The Gordon Highlander within its Purple box (all others are the usual black). The detail of things like the bogie chains is a nice touch and many other little additional parts are added. One just needs to peep through the driver's side cab window to see a lit dashboard panel for starters. Accurascale has made this model with the highest spec's seen on any model. This Deltic engine to date, and by any manufacturer must be the master locomotive version of this Class 55.

I was not sure about the colour of the Engine, however once it arrived it is a truly beautiful object.
My only slight niggle is the usual handbreak chains problem on the Class 55, perhaps a note at the top of the box with a warning on how to handle the model.
The only word to describe the whole package is outstanding.
How can you produce such a detailed model when the boys by the sea seem to remove features and charge more.

Absolutely stunning, love the livery and all of the super details that adorn these mighty fine machines in miniature, excellent model!!!

Very impressed with the model. Looks absolutely incredible and as others have mentioned is a hefty beast which bodes well for when I can run it properly (my layout isn’t running down to alterations). Well worth the wait and for the price nothing short of amazing.

Finally arrived... Couldn't be more impressed. from packaging to extra details packs Superb... just wating for crew now and than its on to the Class 37's and the 81... Hurrah

Absolutely no problems with the sound vibration. Small step broken, otherwise magnificent model, with pulling power. Chains would be better placed on the chassis for cornering.

This model was eagerly awaited as I thought I had missed out on it originally. I was delighted when the factory was able to increase production and I promptly got my order in. Definitely worth the wait and the detail is so fine and right down to the smallest components, particularly on the bogies. My model, when first removed from the box, was very slightly damaged as one of the bogie to body chains had become detached from the body, but I have read elsewhere that someone else had reported this problem. Because the details are so fine and the sometimes rough handling the models receive in transit It is hardly surprising. The model ran well on first test and the paint finish is exemplary. I have yet to run it in more thoroughly and have not tested its hauling capacity but am confident there will be no issues. As a fan of experimental liveries I opted for the purple and grey Porterbrook colour scheme but I am evidently not alone as this was, I think, one of the first models to sell out! All in all a superb and very heavy model well worth the wait.

Love the wipac lighting that Accurascale have fitted to the Gordon Highlander. Day night switching all works as it should and the yard lights which is outer marker lights on only brilliant. Not too bright but subtle. Hope this is an indicator of what we might see when the Class 37's arrive later this year

I have examined the loco and found the bogie chains disconnected,however the rest of the loco is stunning even though I have not had an opportunity to run her on my layout.

Amazing quality despite a few little repair jobs on brake chains. The purple box is a real gem and there is no doubting what is inside. My son and I also have one of the Rails Of Sheffield specials and all are equally great models and runners. Well done.

The packaging is excellent. The model is notably heavy, which bodes well for hauling power. The livery and detail is the best I have seen in OO. Great model.

Amazing model and amazing service.

Made up with my deltic, it really does look and sound fantastic! Its a little fussy on trackwork at times, but overall I'm really happy with my model.

Absolutely fantastic model! Well worth the wait… it certainly doesn’t disappoint. The wealth of detail is very impressive! Only niggle I had one loose brake chain, but considering the high fidelity of the model to be expected, but easily fixed!

Superb model
Unfortunately all bogie chains broke but at least it’s easy access, the chains can easily be be reattached, sorry not 5 stars

This model is absolutely sublime. The Porterbrook livery on the class 55 does divide opinions and I'm one of those who loves it. The finish, details, weight, performance and sounds are faultless.

Finally a UK manufacture that is up there with the best in the world. For far too long the UK has been starved of models such as those produced by Scaletrains (US), REE, LS Models and ACME (European). Add to that excellect customer service which not all of those I've mentioned have. 99/100, I'm dropping half a point off for those Dumbo looking lower front handrails and another half a point for 3 rivets (I think there are rivets) missing from the nose ends.

Extremely happy with my D9016. It operates superbly, the DCC functions are really impressive and the detail is exceptional. Paintwork is very neat, and the colours look accurate. My only slight pointer for improvement would be to have had a slightly more glossy finish. Easily a 10/10 model.

Fantastic model, a huge step forward in ready to run models and very reasonably priced, very happy

fantastic model runs great great details
