Sifon G - Dia. O.62r (NNV) - BR Skinne Blå: W1047

Grate detail as always, good runner, excellent transfers application. A tiny bit stiff on boggie to body, slight countersink later all free all good.

Stunning build in br blue great runners fantastic five stars

I did not need another Siphon G as I already had three for many years, one each of Lima, Mainline and a brass etch Georhe Alan kit. The varieties offered by Accurascale tempted me to go for the rail blue O.62r version in its later form as a newspaper van. Wow! The detail is phenomenal, a quantum leap from those old models from fifty years ago. The Accurascale model is heavy, but the weight is low down where it need to be and it is a very smooth rolling model.

A superb model, full of wonderful detail and the finish is flawless. Accurascales customer service is also 2nd to non - error with order sorted within 24hrs - excellent service.

Unable to give this a full 5 star as a couple of tiny parts come off. Super detailed and looks really good with the parcels set but need it not to be so fragile.

Such good quality and detail at a reasonable price point. Better to buy two or more, which is what I did. In fact, I was so pleased I bought another two and contemplating further purchases. Cannot wait to get my hand on the Class 37 55 and 31, also on order.

Fantastic model and great value.

This is a lovely model. Good depth to the bogies, crisply moulded body and a quality finish. Great to see so many variants faithfully reproduced. It's a shame that the NEM coupling pocket has necessitated cutting away the outer ends of the bogies, but this is only really noticeable at the end of a rake. Also, the blue paint used on this model stands out slightly when sat alongside other stock, including Accurascale's newly released Mk2b. I think it's the right blue, just seems to have had optical brighteners added!

A very nice van - plenty of detail and runs very smoothly.

first class model,

Excellent item!

Having purchased a BR transition period Siphon in brown, I wanted a blue Newspapers Siphon G to add to my parcels fleet. The fit and finish of the model is really good and it runs smoothly.

Yet another quality model! Absolutely fabulous 😍

I'm keeping them for Christmas , but they look brilliant and can't wait to try them out.

How many examples do you really need?. I always thought one was enough until Accurascale came along...now it's like modelling crack ....can't get enough!. Previous buyers will already know they have a seriously good thing in buying into this model. I wanted a blue one eventually having GWR and Ambulance versions already but couldn't beat the idea of missing out ..so jumped in to avoid any disappointment. How Accurascale must love those likee!. Again a top model and no complaints at all.

The Siphon is an understated thing of beauty that nicely blends with my 1980s set up. Excellent detail and runs very well. Recommend

I have bought 5 Siphon G vans, they look absolutely fantastic, the detail is second to none, and they look superb running as a rake, especially when coupled together with the supplied magnetic couplers, which really close the gaps between the coaches.
My only negative actually concerns these couplers, they do seem to be fairly weak magnets, which can cause decoupling. Also these couplers when fitted rotate 360 degrees, which causes difficulty in getting the coaches to couple, as you have to rotate the couplings to get the polarity correct for each coach. Maybe a fixed system would be better in future?
Otherwise these are excellent coaches, and I now eagerly await the arrival of the Suburban’s and Mk 2’s.

Top model . I remember cadging a lift in one of these back in the 70's ! Great days...

I bought one Siphon G and liked it so much I bought two more!

Again accurascale have raise the bar a super detailed siphon G

Excellent model.

Okay, what cannot be said about the Siphon G from Accurascales recent releases. Well, not a lot, for I am sure it has already been said some where in these reviews. I'm not sure if they are classed as a coach or a freight van or wagon, the latter always seems to refer to be an open wagon. Therefore I'm gonna say they are vans, staff only, not suitable for passengers attitude. The vans have been made to various diagrams and colour liveries and this first lot do not disappoint. Each, version with different sides, roofs, ends, and under chassis details are fabulous. Some with, others without connecting corridors that are made from a rubberised material. There must be a massive collection of swap out tools used for the tooling of these vans. For the variations on this batch is unbelievable and cover a wide range throughout there working careers. I can't get over how many differences there is between two era's and how well they turned out to be. An utterly fabulous addition to my fleet and well worth it. Some critics going as far as the box alone being an engineering marvel, come on its a box, abet a gorgeous printed one at that, no more a boring shop window displayed affair. They are ridget and firm and I recon they will last longer than the clear window versions. The only draw back is the detail on the vans which is superb by the way. That the glue isn't always the strongest or too little of amount to hold them on. The latter being harder to add due to how small some of these parts are. Like many I'm sure, they also had a couple of small parts fall off in transit. The worst offenders was the hooded steel coil carrier sets. Those tiny hand grabs are a killer to glue and place, and I've yet to finish them and its 2023 now, lol. If one does desire to achieve the ultimate in model perfection this has to be on the top of any list for awards this year. Gee, these Siphons will carry off a lot of trophies that Accurascale better keep one to store them all in, lol. Lovely vehicles from China, in either Brown, Maroon, Crimson, Blue, Green or Greyish Ambulance the Siphon G never looked so good. A remarkable engineering feat in small scale modelling with the fine tolerances, delicate and fragile components and certainly my longest review for an excellent van/coach/wagon to date.

The Siphon G is an amazingly detailed model. Having watched Larry Pucketts' and Jennifer Kirks' reviews I decided to purchase 2 of these vehicles. I can add nothing more than those 2 reviewers already stated.

Amazing detail. But you have to be very careful with the model as some of the detailed parts feel as if they could be knocked and broken too easily.

Beautifully engineered and smooth runner. Just right. Highly recommended

Outstanding new model which blows the old Lima tooled version (a good model in it's day) out of the water

Absolutely stunning coach with superb levels of detail, fit and finish. Definitely one to have on your layout no matter what the period !
