Simply awesome. The features and detail are incredible. I particularly like the careful choice of materials used in construction, and the fully detailed empty coal bunker interior The livery is carefully and accurately reproduced. Tremendous pulling power too. Absolutely delighted, which allows us to choose unique filling for each loco.
I already have a couple of AS Buckjumpers - but none had vacuum brakes. The J68 I bought had vac brakes fitted whilst it was in the livery it came with, and would have had them in my modelling era. Sadly. spares are not available for these parts - so I decided to pick up this one, and will look at replicating the parts to fit to my LNER one. So a rather expensive way of doing it, but I can use this one to create a different class member and replace the markings for LNER. So in the hope that the AS chaps read my review - please, please (pretty please!) increase the spares availability for these - ideally in a "parts pack" to fit things like vac brakes, Westinghouse brakes etc. Still cracking models though of a prototype that had so many variations over their lives that it was incredibly brave to take them on, but the end result is superb.
I missed out on one of these when they first were released. Then a email came up from Accurascale. I had by then seen a couple of reviews. These reviews said this Locomotive was exceptional. So I was expecting something pretty good. However, nothing prepared me for the quality and detail of this Loco. And the detail pack was substantial, including several destination headboards. This Loco really is a top shelf model. Even down to the packaging box, which is really heavy duty. So no chance of the model being damaged. So glad I bought this model....
Travels very slowly, have requested a return and refund.
Love this locomotive, the detail is sublime! My model runs perfect! It just needs a speaker and sound decoder to be fitted
Good model. Would prefer a smaller box as it seems a bit oversized in the opinion
