D9018 – BR Grün

My second Accurascale purchase and my first diesel. An amazingly detailed model and a wonderful runner. I did wonder if my viaduct would hold up to the weight of this thing but I can report all is well. Definitely worth adding one to your collection. Certainly a very welcome addition to Rawstone Model Railway :)

a very competent model highly professionally produced and weighs a ton, it runs very well. Customer services also very good about queries

But it still hasn't arrived!

I do quite like this loco - it's incredibly heavy, it feels well-built, and is loaded with an impeccable amount of detail. However, it is admirable little bit fragile. A bufferbeam detail and guardiron snapped off, I was able to glue on the detail, but as I'm afraid of snapping off the bogie frames I haven't fixed the guardiron. Also, it says that it's rated for 2nd radius curves, but derails on mine. Unfortunately that's all I have access to, I know 3rd would be much better and it's what I'd prefer.

However, in no way is this a bad model. I still am very happy with my purchased, and am pleased at the model Accurascale has produced. I would highly recommend that anyone who can get their hands on one do - it's an incredible model, and one of the best diesels out there, no doubt!

Oh boy, Just superb. Defiantly a top shelf model. The detail is just stunning. The mechanism is so smooth. It is insanely heavy for an 00 model. The question is "Do I think it was a good buy. And would I buy it again?" Without hesitation I would.

Brilliant model with a wealth of fine details (pity about the chains could do with a note to say that they are in the accessory bag and are to fitted by the purchaser.)

Great looking model but can't write a review as the model appears to have a short when the sound chip and speaker are installed

As you addressed your request "Dear First", I'm not inclined to reply further.

Initially very impressed. The detailing is superb and so is the running qualities, although only just received between Xmas and new year I've not had much time to put it through it's paces! It will be interesting to see how well the accessory pack fits together.

Beautiful model, fantastic detail, smooth and quiet running.
Really pleased with it.

Just wow, My first Accurascale class 55 and it's amazing in every way. It's perfect. My favourite part is that beautiful curve of the body side that turns ever so slightly inwards as it meets the frame. This curve, It's exactly like the real thing and a detail I thought I would never see articulated in a Deltic model. I want to collect all 22 of the Deltics now. It's my quest. I just hope Accurascale keep producing them for years to come.

Having missed out on the first issue of the Deltic, I was not disappointed by this chance to see what all the fuss was about. It is a superb model. Most importantly for me, who likes playing with my trains, it ran perfectly out of the box throughout the running in periods in both directions and continues to run perfectly. Moreover, if problems do arise in the future, I know that Accurascale support will sort them.

Price, engineering, detail.

The dogs bollocks!

No point overcomplicating the truth with English Language, it just gets in the way.
I look forward to reading my review in promotion.

You're welcome.

A stunning model and runs as well as it looks, I just need to fit the crew and other details and it's ready for service on my layout. You are to be commended on the packaging and the price. A big thank you to all at accurscale and I wish you well as you plan for future models.

Stunning loco at all speeds

Brilliant
Cannot praise enough.
Well done Accurascale.
Any more on the way?

I am very pleased with my new acquisition and the long wait appears to have been worthwhile. As usual the packaging was excellent but I as one coupling was loose in the packaging I was initially unsure as to whether or not this was deliberate to allow the installation of the separately packaged pipes etc or it simply had not been properly secured.. I have watched videos of the opening of identical models and they all had both couplings attached. I have yet to decide whether to fit the coupling or install the buffer beam embellishments.

The best quality Deltic ever produced. It performs extremely well and the finish is excellent. A great addition to add to my very large fleet.
