Siphon G – Durchm. O.33 – GWR Brown: 2789

A well detailed item of rolling stock that runs well too. Hopefully Accurascake will produce the outside framed Siphon Gs as well 😊

Much better than the old Lima model, great detail and great running.

In my opinion The standard of this model excels any previous Siphon produced. The quality is that we have come to expect from Accurascale.

brilliant

This coach was purchased to add to an already purchased Siphon coach with a view to eventually forming a rake pulled by a GWR Manor class loco. I was not disappointed with my choice as the detail is impressive and to the standard I have come to expect with this manufacturer. Well done Accurascale.

Great model with super detail. I now have 4 of these models.
Would be great to have an outside frame Siphon G version and a Siphon H

Nice quality model, and a really good free roller too. A nice addition to my GWR coaches.

Ordered from Accurascale and delivered quickly. A detailed and well made model that fits perfectly with my other GWR rolling stock. Delighted with my purchase

As with every item I have purchased from Accurascale this is first class.
Never a hint of derailing, smooth running and incredible detailing.

I already knew that this was an excellent model, having previously bought a BR maroon and BR crimson version. This runs beautifully behind Anthony Manor.

The detail is exceptional and the running quality is excellent. Magnetic couplings are a good idea as a spare. Looks beautiful behind my Accurascale Zmanor.

Wow. My 8th and 9th of these waggons. Thies time in brown livery
. I now have all liveries except the medical one and they are all great. Buy some whilst you can !!!!

Fantastically detailed model and nicely weighted, the detail is so good that one can not use a back-to-back gauge, LOL I like the inclusion of the magnetic couplings, a well-deserved five-star!!
As an aside, we now have several of your Siphons running at the Waverley Model Railway Club in Melbourne Australia. Kindest Regards Noel Anderson

These were very hotly anticipated by many including myself, and often when a model has high expectations prior to delivery they can fall short of what was expected even if they're a brilliant product. This however has not fallen short. If anything it has superseded any expectations (by myself anyhow). The detailing is incredible, the livery application is crisp and the right colours, the underframe is mind boggling, the running characteristics are smooth and effortless, and the packaging is substantial enough to withstand anything that even the clumsiest of delivery drivers could throw at it. My only issue was with the supplied magnetic close couplings, whilst in theory they are good and I like the functionality of them, the magnetic force is slightly lacklustre, and any minor jolt was splitting them, so I've just replaced them with some Kadee 18's to get the same effect. Despite this, the Siphon G is a firm favourite, and has fitted into my layout beautifully.

If this is a new standard within the railway modelling, it is nothing short of fantastic, and should be commended (so that others can hopefully follow suit).

More Great Western please Accurascale!

I have the Lima version of the Siphon G back from my childhood and the difference as you would expect is night and day, the weight and quality of the new model is very good and the price is reasonable too when you consider how many old tooled models are on the market for similar money. Thoroughly recommended!

Only ran it a couple of times but very well detailed runs well, tempted to buy another

Once again a stunning and accurate model of the Siphon G, colour, detailing spot on. Fabulous addition to any collection.

I have recently received from Accurascale the two Siphon G models., which had ordered from them. One of the models is in 1930s GWR brown and the other in early BR crimson.

They arrived in Sydney from Accurascale well packed and, accordingly, in excellent condition.

To my mind the models really capture the character of the inside-frame Siphon G vehicles that I have seen at preserved railway sites, such as the GWS at Didcot, and in published photographs.

The models are beautifully detailed and finished and run well. I particularly like the GWR "shirt-button" liveried example as this is the livery I have seen on the preserved examples and the model looks good with my other GWR coaching stock. The crimson liveried Siphon G in also attractive, with some different details, and will go well with my British Railways stock.

In summary I am very pleased with the Accurascale Siphon Gs, as I have been with other Accurascale models that I have added to my collection.

An outside-frame Siphon G or H would be a nice addition to the Accurascale range.

I do not know how this one looks as it was brought as a gift for my birthday. Judging from the one I brought for myself it will be amazing.

This is by far the best 4 mm scale Siphon G yet. The underframe is especially good, and there are differences in the brake gear between the two models with the GWR monogram. The bogies are the correct GWR Pressed Steel type, which I think is a first. The liveries are correct, and the suspension gangways are great. Please can we have an O11 Siphon G and, and a Siphon F and ...

I have examples from Mallard, George Allen, Airfix, Hornby and Lima (the latter 3 all much improved) and none of these come close to these Accurascale ones. The level of underframe detail is phenominal and I will seriously be considering whether to ditch many of my existing ones. Now if only Accurascale would do the H and make their bogies available as spares there would certainly be sunlight in the GWR world

This is a most impressive model by any standards - especially as a ready to run item. I am very impressed by the accuracy of the underfloor detailing. All that is missing is the dynamo belt! The bogies and brake rodding are particularly fine.
The magnetic couplings are a good idea, but very disappointing in use - they are simply not powerful enough. Otherwise, you have set a benchmark for others to attain. I am looking forward to receiving the Manor...

I bought two different siphons and have already sent you a review.

Incredable model

The ubiquitous Siphon G is another one of those models that was in desperate need of being dragged into the 21st century and Accurascale did just that. This piece is probably one of my most detailed models in my collection and has influenced future modelling plans. Now, just need a certain 4-6-0 to run with it ;)

Cracking model .. ! Nice one Accurascale 😀

The Accurascale Siphon G is one of the best RTR coach models available. The attention to detail is incredible, the livery is spot on and all for a reasonable price compared to other similar coach models.

Purchased this item the same time as the BR Blue version, just as impressed with this model too ! Great detail, paint finish and overall look of the item is just top quality. The item also has a good weight to it and runs really well. Yet another excellent model from Accurascale, worth the wait, Very highly recommended.

This is my first of many Accurascale products (waiting on the GWR Manor) it did not disappoint. Straight out of the box it screams quality .
From the packaging to the model.
The corridor connections are made with what appears to be a rubberised material great idea and we will see if this deforms over time.
The real surprise is the undercarriage detail it is all there and looks brilliant (still working out how to justify a mirror in the track bed) .
Back to back sit on runs through my radius wo curves without a problem . I use code 75 track had no problems with derailing or running through points .
The only real fault I could find was in replacing the tension lock couplings with the magnetic couplings (nice touch supplied with model) they are not strong enough and do come apart too easily.
Aparr from that marks out of 10 I would give this 9.5
I can fully recommend this model
