SR D1479 Van – British Railways – Dreierpack 1

The title really says it all. Plenty of detail, a good weight, runs freely.
A beautifully finished model, love the off-black colour of the underframe.
For me the coupling hooks protrude further beyond the buffers than I would like. I've cut back the shoulders and tail on a spare standard Accurascale coupling, drilled a small hole through coupling and pocket and used a short length of wire to fix the coupling in place.

From the box to the model itself, everything is top quality and created by a company with a real passion for detail.
A fantastic trio of vans to complement any freight working.

Really nice vans, got a decent weight to them and feel high quality compared to other RTR models.

Initially only wanted to get one or two packs to go with my Hornby Merchant Navy. Now I keep buying more because of how good they look! I do believe the reason why this pack in particular sold out so fast is because van No. S50869 is the only van to have a Red Label Jamaica Banana decal on it.

I love these wagons, and now have 12 in my rake. One issue I find is that when applying replacement couplings in order to close couple, the housing is loose, so making a huge amount of play . Standardising with the usual alternative options would be a help., Accurascale packaging is very substantial and as I have a lot of Accurascale models, storage is becoming a major problem.

Best little vans I've ever bought! Fantastic attention to detail. Love them!

Exactly what I asked for-brilliant

Amazing detail , even down to the old torn off labels , nice weight ,

These are the 2nd pack of these wagons I've ordered now and they are simply some of the best wagons on the market

High quality and detailed model. I like the refined closely aligned plank work. Other manufacturers typically portray planks with deep over-exaggerated, gouges. Captures the unusual SR roof profile accurately too.

Superb!

Amazing detail good runner runs freely Another excellent model from Accurascale

Incredible detail, solid and well made. Really please I purchased a set

Superb models with exquisite detail, especially in the brake gear. My only concern would be the weight - on my layout which has a gradient from the fiddle yard to the terminus, replacing 6 plastic vans with six Bananas from sets D1478 and D1479 resulted in the loco slipping on the final approach - I will have to test other locos and/or restrict the number of these vans in each train.

Very pleased with this set of wagons. Like all my purchases from Accurascale the models are fantastic runners with superb detail. I particularly like the effects of the old stickers that have been peeled off as well as the current signage on the sides.
I don't know of any other manufacturers that also give you the option to add scale three link couplings, or instanta couplings depending upon the model, included in the box.
First rate product, I am eagerly awaiting the 16 ton mineral wagons, if they are to this standard, which I'm sure they will be, having seen the painted production samples, then Accurascale will have another massive success.

The amount of detail on these wagons is stunning, these vans make my 4th purchase from Accurascale and they really don't disappoint!! They make my other manufacturer Bauxite Vans look drab!!

What can I say - so good I went back to purchase more before it was too late!!

Models arrived exceptionally well packaged from the UK to Australia! The models themselves are really of museum class, the detail on the underframe and brakegear is superb. Wheels are very free running and nicely blackened. the bodies are beautifully moulded and the colour rendition is perfect, with lettering and other printing supersharp. A very high bar has been set with these models, I look forward to my J68/9!

Excellent, now what about some BR standard Bananas except the Ratio/Parkside diagram.
