BR-Klasse 89 – 89001 – GNER (Goldbeschriftung)

I still don't know if I like the look of the 89. However, you can't deny it's an imposing beast! Operating a 2000s era ECML layout, it was a no brainer to purchase one of these, and I definitely don't regret it. The fit and finish is flawless. The model captures the scale and weight of the prototype perfectly and the livery is the best we've seen for GNER.

Now if only the 'other guys' would make the earlier matching Mk4s to run behind it...

What a locomotive, I think this is best loco yet Accurascale have done and that’s hard to say because all their previous models have been magnificent

Really nice painted figures as usual

Love the badger but I have to say we do need some better Mark 4s!!

Although the Lights and sound worked as they should, sadly this loco would not move, with only a buzzing noise from the motor with power applied. I'm still giving the Accurascale Team a 5 star review however as, as soon as I notified Support of the issue, and failures do of course happen occasionally no matter how good the product, a warranty replacement was arranged, and is apparently already en route.

Been wanting one of these for my collection & took advantage of a generous discount. Thank you Accurascale. Loverly model. Welcome again Accurascale.

Great addition to go with some MK4 coaches to make a great looking train.

The detail in this model makes my Hornby Class 91 that’s not even ten years old, look completely vintage! I like the extra effort that’s gone into the paper manuals and the attention to detail with the box artwork too, gives a premium feel.

We’ve had Accurathrash, this is Accurabuzz! In the future I’d like to see pantograph and third rail arcing, you can call it Accuraspark, if smoke generators are ever part of the range, you have to call it Accuraclag!

Brilliant model looks fantastic and the detail is amazing! Needs some fettling on DCC as the sound project needed altering, but non the less a quality model! Well done!

Beautiful paint and detail, smooth powerful performance. A new standard in model rail. Wheels are smooth and quiet as it glides along. The boxing of this product is very pleasing. A long wait for a wonderful product, thankyou accurascale. Your website is easy to use and your communication emails are spot on. I bought this item from australia and it arrived fast and well packed. Thankyou again Accurascale team. Terry

One of my favourite liveries, Accurascale have nailed it. My 2nd badger loco and I just had to get the GNER livery. Model is superb and even although they never ran in my intended area of modelling, it didn’t stop me picking another one up

The DCC sound is incredibly realistic — from the startup sequence to the horn and braking effects, it adds a whole new level of immersion to my layout. The slow-speed control is smooth and responsive, and the detailing is top-notch. It runs quietly, looks fantastic, and the sound brings the whole scene to life. A brilliant addition

Another great model from the team. Will look great on the layout and great value.

This is my second class 89 and it is just stunning. Beautiful detailing and nice crisp lettering. Well done Accurascale.

This loco which represents the GNER glory days is another wonderful addition to the Accurascale fleet.
Like the real one, it has been a long time coming, and like the real one, it has been worth the wait.
The attention to detail and mechanical operation has been carried out to an extremely high standard which addresses our expectations we have come to expect from one of the UKs premier model railway producers. Thanks again team.

My favourite of all the class 89 liveries - this model is just incredible.

Another bar setting model! Detail is superb and the livery is crisp. The quality starts from the unique livery on the box to the model. A cracking, unique well chosen model, that has been worth the wait.

Another fantastic model from Accurascale/Rails of Sheffield. Awesome bogie detailing. They’ve captured the shape of the real thing. Brilliant livery rendition. The box graphics too are worthy of a mention. 11/10 !

The class 89 is amazing and much more than I thought it would be the issue I had is that it seemed there was a lack of communication to let customers know the progress on the model. There was a decent amount it just didn’t seem enough and it definitely felt like it was in the shadow of models such as the 50 and 60. Other than this the loco is unbelievable and I can’t see another company trying to do a run of this model as the quality accurascale has brought is unbeatable

Accurascale have somehow managed to capture the unique lines and powerful presence of the real thing. A beautiful model, packed full of detail. I'll have to put some catenary up now to do it justice!
