7800 – „Torquay Manor“ BR Manor-Klasse

Everything is perfect at a reasonable price. Very well done Accurascale !!

Well well well Accurascale. What a fantastic little loco! The level of detail, competence and fidelity is absolutely unparalleled, even in the ever growing Model Railway market. The excellent performance, flickering firebox, weight and headboards round off what is altogether a fantastic value for money package. They are expensive but well worth it - build quality knocks competition down by a long way - if you want it, BUY IT!!

The Cambrian Coast line in the early 1960s is a cherished childhood memory, so I've bought all three BR late crest models. They are marvellous models, correctly proportioned and beautifully detailed, and they all run really well. Many thanks

This model is the second 'Manor' Class Locomotive I have purchased from Accurascale. The packaging of the model was very good and the robust box in which it was supplied, ensured that the model arrived undamaged. I was very impressed with this particular livery, ie BR Lined Green. The information booklet supplied with the model was very interesting, since it described the history of the Manor Class. Overall, a very detailed model that has been produced a a very competitive price.

Looks great, livery is expertly finished. As I have only had it a few days I can't give a definitive view on running capabilities but so far all seems good. Lovely loco very pleased with purchase.

This is an amazing model that has so much detail on offer. Such a great looking engine. Looking forward to seeing it run on track. Very pleased with my choice.

Absolutely delighted with my Torquay Manor. Now waiting for Draycote Manor to arrive. Finish quality exceptional, and running trials start this weekend.

Beautifully detailed model. Excellent running characteristics. Competitively priced. Well Done Accurascale

Wonderfully crafted, another gem to add to the collection.

My 3rd Manor ordered as I'm so impressed by these models. The weight, pulling power and detail is second to none and really sets a high bar for modern models. Ball is in your court rival manufacturers to match these!

This was my second Accurascale purchase and my first locomotive. Having already purchased a couple of Siphons and been impressed I was expecting big things from the manor. Even so it surpassed my expectations. It ran faultlessly as a slow crawl straight out of the box. The pre fitted stay alive meant that it glided across pointwork even without the frogs energised. The model captures the look of the prototype perfectly. The weight is superb, it really has the feel of the inertia of a real locomotive.

The first steam locomotive model released by Accurascale and , yet again, another fantastic model. Now I'm looking forward to the arrival of the J67/J68/J69 locomotives especially as my grandfather worked on some of these locos at Lowestoft Shed and I saw the Liverpool Street Shed Pet on my frequent visits to Liverpool Street Station.

Going back to the Manor I was a little surprised at how quiet the sound volume is, you can hear it but it would be great if it had a bit more umpf to it.

This raises the bar for ready to run OO guage Steam Locomotives. The level of individual fitted parts is next level. The fire box glow is the best I've seen on a OO guage Steam Locomotive. The sound is in sequence with the wheels which is very impressive. Highly recommended.

Another beautiful loco from Accurascale. I'm not a rivet counter, but even I can appreciate all the little details I'm always finding.

Brilliant

Absolute perfection in miniature! This is one, if not THE finest mass production model steam locomotives ever produced. What I love about Accurascale is that their attention to detail which extends beyond the models aesthetics into the mechanics. Some other manufactures create wonderful looking models but under the body corners are cut in design and manufacture resulting in a model that will fail to maintain dexterity over time (don’t you just hate black mastic and sub standard mazak)? Accurascale maintain superb quality at a highly competitive market price which puts competitors into shame. ‘Torquay Manor’ is a perfect example of what can be achieved at at (very) reasonable price. Thank you Accurascale!

This is my first Manor class loco from Accurascale but it won’t be my last! My only improvements would be the fire box flicker which is too bright and not very realistic and the sound of the loco does not seem to be adjustable and so it’s quite quiet. Otherwise it’s fabulous.

Excellent model. Highley recommend accurascale.

What a brilliant model, well worth the long wait. The detailing is fantastic.
I enjoyed many journies behind actual manors years ago when they were operational, and the sound effects on these models bring back many memories.
I've just received the crew and will be installing these shortly.
5 star rating.

This model is a distinct up grade from my Hornby and Bachmann older items. It looks great, runs perfectly forwards and. reverse and pulls a representative rake with ease. I intend to have Accurascale standard footplate crew and lamps fitted.

Absolute stunner. Looks great and runs beautifully. i can now retire my Bachmann one and replace it in the roster with this little beauty once it get a tad of weathering, coal, crew, lamps etc. Now what about a County to the same standard?

Really pleased with my latest arrival from Accuscale, excellent quality and detailing, well worth the wait 👍

your attention to detail and quality has paid dividends with your first steam outline model. Looking forward to your class 50 release.

The best Manor yet, but still waiting for the crew to arrive !

This is the best new engine I’ve purchased in over 30 years. Well worth the wait. Well done Accurascale, thank you.

Well, that certainly was worth the wait; although not a GWR fan there was something that drew me towards a medium size engine to run with some western chocolate and cream Mk 1's, this certainly fits the bill. The other occasional use for the Manor's (and 4300 Moguls) was on certain Reading - Redhill trains hauling SR Maunsell coach sets; that really is my bread and butter!
It looks beautiful and runs beautifully, what more can I say! 12 out of 10.

Well, but not too over detailed! Work well, straight out of the box!
I’ve yet to see it running on a larger layout, but on my test track it ran fine, whilst running in.
Sounds are good but a little quiet, and what ever value I put into the cv, it didn’t make any difference?
Looks beautiful!!!

Very impressed with this loco, looks spot on runs a treat and sound, to me at least, is perfect.

My layout is primarily WR so compliments it perfectly, I’m thinking of investing in a black one next.

Just received the long awaited Late BR decorated Manors. They run smoothly on my test track and are highly detailed. The sound is superb. My next challenge is converting them to EM gauge..! I did ask Accurascale long ago about the feasibility but it was not part of the plan. So, I will investigate what needs to be done, hopefully the conversion might just be new EM gauge axles. Very impressed nevertheless.

Once again accurascale have surpassed themselves in yet another A class model. The detailing surpasses all expectations in all aspects of what is nothing less than a work of art in 4mm.
With a second one expected in the form of Bradley Manor the temptation to make it a trio is just too great.
Well done again accurscale, can’t wait for further steam outline models from you.
