BR Klasse 50 - GWR Grøn - 50007 'Sir Edward Elgar' - Eksklusiv

An incredible release from Accurascale. No. 50007 in its GWR 150 heritage livery is a spectacular sight. Though it was a highly unusual livery choice for a Class 50, it won the hearts of enthusiasts and is universally popular with fans of the class. Out of the box, it runs like a dream—super smooth, quiet, and responsive. It makes a perfect pairing with the Accurascale Railfreight General 50149, and the two together look absolutely fantastic on the layout. Highly recommended!

Beautiful paint, crisp and accurate detail, can’t ask for more!

It's been along wait, but it was well worth it, this is a superb model, the detail, the running, if there's any thing wrong it's my fault for not getting the sound version, I did a Lima conversion of this many years ago which is still around, all I can say is thinks have certainly moved on. Thank you Accurascale.

While there were couple of minor niggles with the new Class 50 from Accurascale, the overall package is a brilliant model which is undoubtedly the most detailed Class 50 to date in 'OO' gauge. Like other recent models from Accurascale, it serves to push the boundaries of what we can expect for a ready-to-run locomotive. A highly recommended model.

I can see why people get excited about these models, they are pretty good and perform. I liked it so much that I also shortly afterwards ordered Rodney (it took me a while to figure out why there were etched Rodney and Dave plates in the pack, google that! The Hoover plate in both I suppose was a joke).
Both models arrived very quickly and were very well packed and presented. Rodney was in perfect condition, not so the great composer. Like others bits fell off - in this case Elgar lost three small limbs, but they could back on. A step ladder, very difficult to reattach, a lower orange thing near the front wheel, and the front isolated orange thing, which is plastic orange looked cheap (cf Hornby) and lacking back plugs was also difficult to put back, something of a let down. The instructions booklets were dire, these were both DC models not DCC, and I didn’t even know what a blanking plate was in this instance was. Eventually I found that all 1-9 switches should be on to give full lights and cab control lights (a nice feature) and the fan which went really too fast (created a draught over my tiny hand gluing bits back, fan is switch 7 - that was guesswork. On the Elgar model the lining below the nameplate and the tiny crest (much larger in real life) soon rubbed off, looked almost better without it. The brass crest in the pack was pathetic - in real life this was really quite deep. I put the BR brass logos there instead, naughty maybe but they look good under the etched Elgar nameplate. With Rodney these problems did not arise. But overall I liked the models a lot.You could see Accurascale tried hard.

Another stunning model from Accurascale! I initially got a model of 50021 and that in itself is excellent model, however when more stocks of 50007 came online i just had to get 1!! I ‘ wasnt to be disappointed. The loco is just fantastic. Accurascale have done themselves proud again!! Absolutely amazing!

Besides the known unpainted cab end detailing which Accurascale are issuing replacements. This is one fine looking model of the Class 50 in GWR lined green livery. Exquisitely detailed so be careful in handling, I've had a set of steps from one corner loose in the box from shipping. Buy or die for one of these, as they are the best EE Type 4 locomotives I've seen by any manufacturer.

The Class 50 from Accurascale has been a much anticipated release, this is an excellent model. Detail is stunning, the rotating roof fans are fantastic to see and can't forget Accuras trademark illuminated cab dials. They've captured the look of the prototype bang on.

Where do you start with the Accurascale class 50!
There is no getting away from the simple fact, the new range of 50's from Accurascale are the best on the market by a country mile.
Sure! There will be plenty that moan they are to delicate, to expensive, blah, blah blah! These are the sort of people that tend to moan that there is a grain of sugar to much in their coffee.
Back to the vast majority of modellers, these 50's are perfect in every way. If your able to, I strongly advise you to get a sound fitted model. The sound has the right balance of treble and bass in the output of the speakers that are prefitted, and you must try the cold start function, pure heaven. It's a shame that thick smoke pouring out of the exhaust can't be replicated.
Anyway! If your still contemplating whether to purchase one of these 50's, stop thinking, just do it! Hit that buy button, you will NOT be disappointed.

Great model Great sounds

Perfect class 50

Looks really good lots of detail, not ran it yet, very pleased.

So glad I was able to pick one of these models up when the remaining stock was put up for sale, first class model and ordered one from batch 2.

A beautiful locomotive in a very attractive livery, runs perfectly. Only let down by the known issue of the orange jumper cable boxes at either end of the locomotive. One of mine had already come loose on transit, the other came away as soon as the ice box was opened!

Stunning model , excellent detail and smooth runner. Packaged in a unique box.

A superb model in every way! Not only is it visually spot on, but it's also a great runner as well. The model also comes with a great accompanying booklet, as well as etched plates and other detail parts you can fit. Money well spent!

Yet another first class model, just hoping they release a class 40.

Lovely model will packed

What more can I say about this fantastic model. Well worth the wait to get things right 😀

Another quality product from Accurascale which is setting an industry standard. The weight of the loco, the detail & accessibility to the DCC decoder is now the new norm. However, I purchased this loco DCC Ready as I run Hornby's HM7000 bluetooth DCC system & I've found the Class 50 not to be very compatible with this as some of their other loco's such as the Deltic & Class 66. The issues experienced are very limited lighting functionality (forward direction head lights only) and substantially slower in speed compared to running in DC. I am running quality DCC Concepts 18.2V power supply so I don't believe it's a power issue but due to the lighting limitations and slow speed I have elected to keep the loco as a DC runner only. No doubt on conventional DCC controllers & decoders such as ESU these problems are likley not an issue. So to be fair, as a DC loco it's 5 star, just not that suited to HM7000

I could only give 4 stars as there was a multiple working socket loose and a buffer beam foot step loose. Other than that it is a top notch model and goes well with my Bachmann 47's in the same livery. Many thanks Accurascale.

Loco still boxed unchecked, what disappointed me was the shipping time on how long it took to get it

Brilliant model! Amazing quality as standard from accurascale

Another great loco from Accurascale. Detail is amazing and I love the Green livery.

Excellent model, runs very well and now sounds great with sound chip being added by me

Great looking model, fantastic details
