9016 – Porterbrook Purple – DCC Sound ausgestattet

Nice locomotive and good service

Beautifully derailed. It runs and sounds great. The down side is getting the body off to fit crew and change the headcodes. The body is a very tight fit, too tight. I found yo wiggle the chassis as you pull very hard works. The tiny blue pipework is very vulnerable and two of mine fell off. I successfully fitted the crew and changed the headcodes. Getting the body back on was even harder. More card strops to never out the body works. Once back on the track one red tail light at each end would not show lit. Off with the body again. All lights working. Put the body back on and still one red light not showing but both the front end. Something is moving and covering the led. Blue pipes glued back on, as is the detail pipes at the front. Would I recommend anyone taking a deltic apart? A resounding NO! It's much too delicate to be handled too much. F23 and F30 Do not appear to do anything. I will be in touch somehow. Other than that a lovely model. Steveo

P is for Purple and P is for Porterbrook.
P is also for Practically Perfect Precision.
Another stunning P for Performance from Accurascale and a great addition to the fleet!

The sound is 10/10.
The running of the loco 10/10.
The aesthetics is 10/10.
The packaging and presentation is 10/10.
The colour is 10/10.
So overall I rate this as 2/10 😂

Seriously, another amazing model from
Accurascale. Top quality!

Fantastic update, brilliant detail and another wonderful model. Well done Accurascale !!

This looks fantastic and sounds amazing, the horn sound is tremendous. It is a weighty beast and does require some running in, but once done runs smoothly even round my most awkward curves. Very striking colour scheme.

Didnt manage to get the original but this one has had a few tweaks that make a fantastic model...even better!
The fantastic detail, paint application and running qualities are not to be missed and this superb class 55 is now on duty on my layout. They just keep getting better and better. This model is just sublime.

This deltic is my fourth and I have to say better in a few ways especially the build quality where I had to return the model, Great wipac light cluster too.

Striking model

Stricking detail and finish to another excellent model from Accurascale.

Stunning Model with excellent Sound.

Subtle improvements based on the already excellent first batch, demonstating the responsive nature of the AS team.
From what I can see the following improvements are present:
New bogie chain arrangements (I've not fitted these yet so can't comment on installation, but appreciated not having adrift in the box)
Adjusted bodyside window tooling such that the window frames are better interfaced with the bodyshell.
Reduced vibration (although I still sense a little at some revs, and will probably take volume down a touch)
New nose end bolt detail
Love the box artwork - I wish these would be available separately as they would make great layout room art, or indeed a 'print' of the box lid supplied with the model.

Still room for improvement:
The 'plated' quarterlights on the cab window is part of the glazing unit (understandable given the need to accommodate plated and glazed prototypes within the same body tooling. However the plated glazing need to be base-painted in black to avoid light bleed, with white (in this case, or livery colour on other models) finish then applied on top. As things stand it gets very translucent with cab lights on in a dark room.
Ditto the headcode window 'surround' which on this model is yellow, exhibits light bleed when on the prototype this is obviously solid metal or rubber.

Extremely pleased with the box, this is a work of art before we come to the model! 9016 is superb in every aspect, runs silky smooth, could not wish for more.

The best, Good value locomotives and wagons cannot fault . I am modern image this loco is from the past for me but I like the livery at the time and the Deltics the loco is really good from running finish and the sound.

Extremely pleased with the box, this is a work of art before we come to the model! 9016 is superb in every aspect, runs silky smooth, could not wish for more. One minor niggle is how to change head code numeral?
Thank you Accurascale cannot wait for the Class 31

This loco has amazing presence, it stands out like nothing I have seen before. It has the usual amazing detail and has some improvements on the original release such as the deeper set speaker and I think a better build quality but saying that the original release was their first loco and it did have some loose tiny bits in the box but is still an excellent loco.
I have never liked the Porterbrook 55 when I have seen it before but this one really caught my eye and I wasn't disappointed when it arrived, You put it on the track and it looks like a mountain and has a real heavy look to it as it should. The sound and lighting are both excellent as they always seem to with Accurascale. The only downside was that the box had none of the paperwork in it but a email to Accurascale and there should be some on its way.

I am very pleased with the Porterbrook Deltic

Looks great

Another Excellent model. Superb detail,realistic lights, realistic sound and runs extremely smoothly plus a very comprehensive detail pack. 10/10

I previously said the Class 66 from Accurascale had taken the place of top spot in my collection. This upgraded Deltic has taken that now. With the updates they have done to the model, it surely takes the spot for one of, if not the, best diesel model available on the OO Gauge market today.

Excellent detail sounds great

Missed out on the Porterbrook Deltic the first time round and I’m glad I picked one up this time. Beautiful piece of miniature perfection and an improvement over the previous run of deltics. Well done Accurascale

I was a bit disappointed with this model because on arrival the headcode 1A16 was adrift and curled up inside the loco and I had to remove the loco body to get to it. Although it had a sticky back I could not get it located behind the clear plastic panel so it was stuck on the outside of the panel. While removing the body two of the front bogie leading guide irons fell off one end and my eyesight is not good enough to relocate them.

Well, I saw this, and loved the color, hence why I ordered.
I was not expecting the Deltic to be what I got.
It is a massive engine, very imposing. Running alongside a Class 66 (accurascale) and a Class 071, which are the biggest locos I have, it dwarfs them, as it is such an imposing train.
It really does handle my layout very well, and the 'odd' duff bit of track thanks to the stay alive.
The sound is incredible, but the lighting was jaw dropping. I'd loved to have seen one of these in real life.
Well done Accurascale.

Excellent

Another truly stunning model. Nice to see a company listens to their customers and acts on their feedback with the minor improvements from the first batch. Well done the Accurascale team.
