97301

A fantastic model, stunning detail, and a superb runner. Accurascale sets the bar high yet again

Wow what a very hot piece of kit
Amazing indeed
Looks the part
Sounds the part
Just completely blown the bar out of the water with this one
Excellent exceptional detail

Another superb model!!

It looks great, the depth to the bogies are something else, the incredible detail in the form of the etched seperate metal kick plates down to the prototypical dim lights. The chains on the bogies look really good too, along with really crisp printing of the logos and numbers across the body. One minor point is the thin yellow line between the black grilles and the bonnet which should be remain black seamlessly. The bottom of the windscreen line doesn't't quite line up on the bottom too the can't rail stripe as per the prototype. I am really splitting hairs though and it is great value and detail. A very happy customer and would have been 5 stars easily if not for those minor points. Thanks Accurascale for a great model! It will be right at home on Greenford!

Yet another superb loco, this one seems even better than the excellent previous locos I have received from AS, very impressed.
Would be great for a sister yellow peril to go with this one in future. 10/10

It’s absolutely lovely. Super detail, weighs a ton, hauls everything.

Only problem is now I want more!

From just seeing the artwork on the box to opening it up to unveil another stunning model. The quality and detail are incredible and the sound just brings it to life and another level. Fantastic all round

I have just opened my 97301 and am blown away by the detail and finish. The modelling of the ERTMS equipment is fantastic. This is a first for a NR 37 and will show up my other 2 models. I am a very happy man. Thanks to you all for producing such a great model.

The packaging is awesome, the model itself is highly detailed and looks magnificent and very good value for money, especially with sound fitted. Had a few issues with the bogies not swivelling enough on 2nd radius, they seem to catch some of the intricate pipework, which I have not had occur with the other 37's. Further investigation needed to identify what the issue is.

Another tour do force by Accurascale !!
Highly detailed and decorated model with superb paintwork, brilliant sound and very smooth motion.
Thoughtful innovation with the magnetic roof panel for easy access to the electronics and delivered safe and sound in one of Accurascale’s excellent boxes.
Well worth the money and the wait !!
Another winner Accurascale !!

As fantastic as ever. It's going to be a while before I have track to run this on but until then it's going to sit looking fantastic in the front room

This is the model that started it all for me. I'm reviewing it some considerable time after purchasing and this was my very first Accurascale purchase. At that time it felt like a leap of faith to make pre-order from a manufacturer I'd never heard of. When the model arrived, I loved the massive yellow box (a bit hard to hide!) which gives excellent protection. The model was a very significant step up from my existing class 37s in terms of detail, livery quality, weight, sound and smoothness of performance. In addition to that, the underfloor equipment is modelled on this unique class 97 variant, which was the reason why I purchased this version. As a result, I became a happy repeat customer.

Excellent as always in every way

Another stunning model for an ever growing collection!

This is a great model, runs superbly and simply knocks other manufacturers versions out of the park. Accurascale set the standards nowadays, and others need to try and keep up.

A fantastic model of a unique loco. All details present and the model runs fantastically. Just needs a 2nd 97/3 to match now...

Great model. Fantastic detail and sound. A welcome addition to the fleet!

I’m so lucky to have bagged this limited edition. It’s a real gem. Silky smooth runner, detail is off the scale. Even the packaging is amazing. Can’t wait for my Class 50 to arrive.

Fantastic looking and great performer. This came up as available on a 'stock find', and I ordered the last sound fitted. The transaction was done at the same time as another customer so the sound fitted wasn't available.
However, Accurascale added the decoder and speaker in the package at the sound fitted price. Customer service is second to none.

Great model

Another fantastic model from Accurascale. Unlike most other manufacturers, Accurascale have not simply painted a 'normal' Class 37 yellow, they have gone the extra mile and produced the underframe radar and the antenna cut-outs in the roof. From the bright yellow box, which makes it more difficult to sneak into the house, the strong packaging, the helpful information leaflets and last, bit not least, the model itself, the whole package just exudes quality.

Again, unlike most other manufacturers, if you buy an Accurascale model, you get everything at a very competitive price. With the sound version, not only do you get sound but all the models come fitted with a powerpack as well. If you only bought the DC version and you want to upgrade to sound, it is very easy to fit the decoder and speaker, no soldering necessary. Whilst you can do this through the opening in the roof, I would suggest that it is easier to remove the body, which reduces the risk of accidental damage to it. Whilst the body is off, you can also fit crew. All of these extras are available from Accurascale, making it a one stop shop for a complete package.

There is always a risk that something may have come loose during assembly, packing or the log journey from China but parts tend to be relatively easy to refit or replacements can be requested from Accurascale. I have noticed that there is a tendency on the class 37 for what I would call a 'spreader bar' at both ends of the bogie to come out at one end, but this can normally just be clipped back in using tweezers, though it can be a bit awkward.

Overall, this is a great model and you have missed out if you didn't buy one.

Great detailed model with very accurate under carriage equipment. Nicely packaged in a great Network Rail yellow box to complete it.

This is an excellent model runs great & looks superb
I was lucky to get one as I hadn’t pre ordered it
5 stars brilliant model

Wow what can I say you guys have out done yourselves once again with this loco, fantastic! I'm so happy to own it in my collection.

What a banana of a Loco... not because anything is wrong with it. It is so fantastically yellow it brightens up any layout.
The best 37 on the market.... IMO. the in cab detailing is impressive and isn't missed when the cab lights illuminate.
Such a smooth runner. I have never been an 'old' loco fan but I now have 4 of these 37s.
Just need accurascale to do the Network Rail coaches to complete the train.
Would recommend this loco to anyone. Hopefully a 2nd round comming

I love this loco; it's so striking and colourful. Looks stunning on the layout.
Can't wait for the orange "Tango" one.
