D9006 The Fife og Forfar Yeomanry

Accurascale you have re-written the rule book on how a model locomotive should be produced and presented. If you missed out on the first production run, then I would recommend you get one form the second run, you won't be disappointed.

Superb model, super accurate, runs sweetly and value for money!

Note to Hornby.
Take a leaf out of "Accurascale's" book and try to create such well made and detailed models for the same money.
I recently received my class 55 deltic from Accurascale and was overjoyed at the level of accurate detail and the quality of the finish.
There were one or two issues with the white painted details here and there but only noticeable with a jewellers loupe so maybe I'm being picky?
The price too, at £160 was very pleasing and I shalln't hesitate to purchase other items from Accurascale in the future.
It's a pity these products can't be made here at home rather than swelling the coffers of some far eastern country.

With very competitive pricing in mind the quality of the moulding, accuracy to detail and paint quality is above and beyond any of Accurascale’s competitors. To say I am happy with my Deltic is an enormous understatement. Well done to all of the people involved at Accurascale, including the supply and support staff.

First loco I have from Accurascale and I am very impressed. The detail is great, sound card great also. If this is the standard I look forward to further motive power and rolling stock to my railway from Accurascale. Very very happy with my loco. Bernie

We have all seen some review about the Deltic. Most glowing, occasional one about a vibration in the speaker, or a small piece of bodywork fault.
All I can say about mine is Superb. UK to Aussie, Not a scratch. Detail. Sublime. The motor so quiet, I had to keep checking to make sure it was still running in. Sound, crystal clear without vibration. The front bogey was having a bit of difficulty with one of my triple points, popped everytime it went over, turned out it was a smallpiece of sponge that had gotten lodged somehow. perfect now. All I really want to say is WOW. The Model is a Model and at a price which is exceptional. I cannot recommend this model enough. I have 3 now. 2 Bachmann, and now this.. Sorry Bachmann, Comparison? All good models.. Accurascale Deltic? So far ahead in detail, quality, Price.

The new Deltic is a solid performer, highly detailed and captures the look of these East Coast race horses very well. Great haulage

First of all the box in which it arrived was something else.........made it feel really special even before I opened it. Truly an excellent model - if I was being picky, I would have liked directional cab lights to have been standard on analogue models. Having said that, it is exceptional value.

Without doubt one of the finest commercially produced model railway locomotives ever produced. It has been marketed at a price that puts many (most) other manufacturers to shame. Looking forward to a re run of this model. Recommended without hesitation!

A really beautiful model at an an incredible price. So much better value than the other large manufacturers and affordable for the features provided.

This is the best running engine I’ve ever bought
The detail is fantastic
No missing parts, All the way to Australia with no parts dislodged
I am now looking forward to the Manor as my majority of trains is steam related

I received in Australia the D9006 The Fife and Forfar Yeomanry DCC sound fitted Class 55 Deltic in excellent condition, it is the most detailed model loco that I have.
Keep up the good work it wont be the last loco that I get from Accurascale

Despite a trip around the world of some 30,000 miles, the loco arrived completely intact. Thrilled by its detail and sound. Well done guys.

Great Model. But next time leave the chains as an option to include in a detail pack. They cause no end of problems. Otherwise I really love the detail and it runs nice and quiet.

Absolutely gorgeous model that takes me all the way back to my ninth birthday when dad bought me (himself :-) )my first hornby triang trainset and a Deltic engine. It alsotakes me back to my trainspotting days as well, standing on the platform and watching these beasts roar through. This Accurascale model is all those things, heavy, beautifully detailed and looks superb running on the track. Thanks Accurascale.

A great model runs smoothly and the lighting is great. The only problem is that one the hand break chains had come away from the body and had made is way inside the bogie frame. But it is not causing any problems with the running of the loco.

This is a really beautiful thing. The detailing is terrific, it is very solid and heavy and the sound setup really takes me back to my youth when I watched these things tear north over the embankment outside Hitchin Station. I guess the best thing I can say is I have paid for a Manor and some rolling stock which is on order - I am definitely a repeat customer.

I am absolutely delighted with my D9006 The Fife and Forfar Yeomanry, ACC2156D9006DCC. Also I am looking forward to receiving my order of the Class 55 'Deltic' Crew - Driver/Secondman - Late BR to fit in one of the cabs of D9006. This I believe would just about add the fininishing touch to the locomotive model. Well done Accurascale you have made this old Railway Modeller very happy.

A high quality detailed model.

Bought this model for static display.
Grandad was in the Fife and Forfar Yeomanry along with other relatives before and during WW2. Deltic fascinates me, so the choice of loco was made easy for me when I rather lately realised Accurascale were producing all new Deltics. I will hopefully run the loco one day, but in the meantime I'll happily admire it in it it's case.
Thanks Accurascale, I love it.

Purchased three Deltics in total excellent models produced by Accurascale. Well worth the wait and value for money for the level of detail. All well packaged and delivered in perfect condition. Looking forward to the Class 89 and Mk1’s

Everything and more that it said it would be. A great model, that has been well thought out, especially the access to the DCC socket and the removable buffer beam for fitting the pipes etc. Plenty of weight to ensure electrical pickup and haulage capacity. Ran well straight from the box. Great documentation both physical and electronic, covering everything required. Value for money. Some of the well established model railway manufacturers need to take note in all these areas as they rarely meet all of these criteria, especially the last. In future they will be behind Accurascale in relieving me of my hard earned cash. A very satisfied customer

Excellent production of my Accurascale Deltic. Well worth the long wait I just wish I had bought the model with sound!

But not without its flaws.
Packaging amazing
Literature fantastic
Lighting clear, can detail not seen on another RTR uk model except maybe SLW
Sound installed out of the box is brilliant
However like a few customers I had more than one small bit lose in the box
The locomotive also appears to be sensitive to my Fleischmann points and track which I will admit isn’t perfect but the majority of my models cope (all have their foible’s)
My Deltic shot over one point and some of the bogie detail detached because the stay alive kept it going when other locomotives may have stopped
I will attempt to fix this and other detached parts and give another run
I have a 37 and 92 on pre order so hope Accurascale make the bogie and under frame detail more robust
Otherwise a brilliant model

sounds and runs like a dream. apart from a couple of loose bits in box absolutely fantastic looking forward to 37s & 31s & manor

The model is the most accurate representation of a "Deltic" that I have had the pleasure of owning. It is extremely well-built and durable though, inevitably, real care must be taken in handling it because of the fine detail attached. The motor is superb and responsive. The only matter that I have noticed is that the scale wheels are so fine that there is a tendency to jump on parts of the track, notably diamond crossings, if that track is slightly bumpy. It means going round correcting ballast and ensuring absolute flatness on the Peco pointwork. It is the only model that I've had that problem with and it is a characteristic that I've noticed with some of my 24T Accurascale hoppers. It means more care on my part. The value of this model is incredible and I shall look forward to owning more of the regimental Deltics in green as these become available. It is a superb model which with plenty of TLC will be amongst the finest of my 200+ collection of OO locomotives.
On another matter, please consider modelling the Southern/BR(SR) 4-COR EMU. It ran through from about 1935 until 1970, Olive Green to BR Blue, there were about 80 units with 4-RES and 4-BUF variations and I think that a unit is preserved.

This is the second D9006 model purchased having been impressed with the non sound version, despite it missing a small part. When I saw they have Sound versions still available I decided that I should have one.
