55013 – BR Blau mit Silber

This is I think the best model loco I have ever owned, it doesn't disappoint in any respect. The level of detail is exceptional and it is exactly as I remember the engine 40 plus years ago when I saw it in BR service (except in 1/76 scale) The etched name plates are of the highest quality and when applied raise the cosmetic appearance of the loco still further. My example was missing a windscreen wiper on arrival (lt was loose in the box and soon re-affixed with a little PVA) which was my only issue. Delivery was prompt and the whole retail experience excellent.

Love the Deltic

My first Accurascale model & I’m blown away by the detail & fit/finish. So impressed that I’ve now got x2 37’s on order.

Excellent product would recommend to any one first class services

An amazing model

Another excellent model from Accurascale.

Lovely model but derails on curves also no bogie chains fitted or in the parts bag .can you help?.

Beautiful detailed model and smooth running. Will be added to with the inclusion of the deltic crew.

What can I say that has not been said already. This engine is the best I every seen. Now all I need is a layout to run it on. Can not wait for my Class 89 to arrive this year.

Accurascale have delivered a superb loco i can find no faults with the one i have
detail ease of fitting dcc running and weight for pulling power everything spot on only problem could be the body removeal when its time to service but should be ok if care taken bit in the meantime i will just enjoy

No13 looks great in this well applied livery. There isn't much more to say that hasn't been said already. Another splendid rendition of a Blue Deltic. Maybe a future version of Deltic No5 in Royal Mail celebration livery can follow Black Watch.

Well for a self-confessed non-deltic fan I seem to have three of these locos now! So they must be doing something right😃
I haven't run a caliper over it but it looks good and runs superbly (on dc). Only things I plan to do are to fit pipes to one end and as before add some Replica Railways grey spots to the headcode marker lights. This model is less white than the first batch, but the slightly darker colour sets the model off to a tee.
I should add that the e-mail that the model was on its way came whilst the website still said stock incoming, so no complaints there and the packing was again with the card "shoe box" ends which are better than bubble wrap and 100% recyclable.
Many to thanks to all at A/S.

Quite simply, the best loco I own - and I have a few. The detail is excellent, it's beautifully put together, it weighs a ton, and runs silently and incredibly smoothly. If you want a 55, look no further.

Great Model, would recommend.

Wonderful model the only problem I have is that the coupling has broken off I think I can fix it will let you know if not,
Kind Regards

Although I would not normally have contemplated buying a Deltic decorated so garishly (Silver Tank and Grey Roof) this model is so good that I had to have one. It looks good and runs superbly well although, as I am analogue only, I do not really get the best from the loco that DCC would give.

Fantastic loco, thanks all at Accurascale, please keep them coming!!

Having missed the first run, I was glad when the second batch was announced. I'm glad to have finally got a deltic in the fleet, fantastic detailing, great running characteristics. Possibly my favourite loco in my collection now

Still boxed

My second Deltic from Accurascale and a colourful choice to add to my collection. Despite being few years later than my modelling period I had to have one. It appears to be better made than the first run as the buffer beam ladders had not fallen of in the very good packaging.

Another excellent detailed model from accurascale

Fantastic model

Having bought an example of the first run, I couldn't resist another! Excuisite detail and stunning livery and a beautiful runner.

Absolutely stunning model. Thanks

I pre ordered the DCC ready version earlier this year and has now arrived. This is a fantastic model with great detail and very heavy. The lighting function are very good and overall I am very pleased with this model. I purchased the custom ESU decoder from Accurascale about six months ago, and had not been out off the box until I received the model. Fitting the decoder was easy, and that is when problems occurred. The train would not work at all, and the driver cab in the Loksound programmer would not work either. To cut a long story short, I had to reset the decoder and firmware to default condition and load a 3rd party sound profile to get it going. Once this had been done, everything worked perfectly. Maybe I was just unlucky with my decoder, and my problems should not detract from buying this fantastic model.

Nice model wheels too small and too high off bogies tho

Fantastic looking locomotive well detailed
The model is so good now have 4 of them now well done accurascale keep making fantastic models

The accurascale Deltic offers an incredibly detailed model of a much loved locomotive, at a price that’s more than fair.

The straight-line performance of the motor is as good as the 66s before, offering a powerful and quiet operation.

However, the model is almost over-detailed, with the bogeys fouling on the body sides and underneath detail on 2nd and 3rd radius curves, causing derailments at literally every turn.

A good display loco, but maybe not the most practical of runners for the average hobbyist or depot modellers.

Probably one of the best loco'sin my collection.

Missed out the first run but secured this and I am very impressed. Usual Accurascale quality.

This is the first accurascale loco I have bought since I re-started my collection last year and it’s absolutely amazing. Perfect. Thanks!
