Klas 30 - D5549

Accurascale’s Class 30 diesel has certainly been worth waiting for. The level of finesse and on-board tech makes this the most accurate, detailed and advanced Class 30 model produced to date. This is another superb release for Accurascale.

Excellent

I purchased this model to replace the hornby model that had a bad case of mazak rot. the model runs very smoothly and has great detail in the drivers cabs. I fitted the ESU Lok-sound chip with one of Accurascale Accutrash speakers which give the model extraordinary sound detail. . The paint work is spot on and done to a very high standard. I am looking forward to more model of the quality in the future.

Fantastic and great model with plenty of detail .
Superb price the decoration is quality.

Having spent some time with the model today I can honestly say the level of detail is stunning. It's very reliable and the inclusion of the stay alive is very welcome. The prefitted speaker sounds good. Worth noting that this model really needs a Loksound decoder to function properly.

Great model, just like your Class 31 and 55. Only downside is no sound file available or driver crew. This also applies to the Class 31 crew. The model itself is fantastic

Very impressive great detail on the loco, run's really well. Definitely worth the money and arrived within a few days of ordering.

It really is a fine model, lots of detail and runs so smooth. Only draw back was the 2 seats loose in cab, so had to remove body, which I did not want to do.

A livery that really suited the Class 30 - and expertly presented by Accurascale (quality of finish, attention to detail etc) in this model. Add that to what is already a superb model then it makes an impressive package!!

Highly recommended (again).

Haven't had a chance to run her yet but a wonderful model of a prototype that I saw around Stratford and Liverpool Street in the late 50's and early 60's. Accurascale you have captured this to perfection. As I recall there were a couple of one off liveries, light blue and a kind of orangy coloured one....................any thoughts???

Beautiful model, still waiting for Sound Decoder from Accurascale but so far excellent!

Yet another fantastic loco from Accurascale. Straight from the box, this loco runs exceptionally quietly and supper smoothly. The wealth of detail that Accurascale provides never ceases to amaze me, and as always, the livery, lining, and other printed detail is crisp and legible. I can't wait for my Accurathrash decoders and speakers to arrive so that they can be installed and let loose on my layout.

Any chance of D5579 in Golden Ochre , maybe as an "Accurascale Exclusive"?

Great model as I have previously mentioned. I showed it to my 91 year old friend who worked at the Stratford paint shop when they all arrived and he thought is was a really great model.

The only thing he stated was incorrect is the loco lining which should be as per the BS number which was on the tin my friend had andI gave these details to Paul Isles.

Hope this helps, cannot wait for the Toffee Apple and Skinhead versions in green when you make them.

Lovely loco, preordered a sound decoder for it, hope it doesn't take too long to arrive?

This Class 30 loco ran like a Swiss watch straight from the box silent running just the sound of the wheels on the track, mine isn't sound fitted as non of my locos are I've fitted a ESU lokpilot 21 pin decoder the fan runs nicely and front head code and rear warning lights the only down side my Gauge master Prodigy dcc controllers don't go above 9 programs so unable to have cab lights/ engine room lights pity they couldn't have been between 2 and 9 but again the loco looks and runs brilliantly well done Accurascale.

Another wonderful loco from Accurascale. The quality and finish are superb and I would highly recommend the class 31 to anyone.

I’ve been waiting 20+ years for a decent Class 30/31 model and suddenly, I find myself in possession of not 1, but 7 of them! Well has it been worth the wait…definitely so! I’m not going to review each model individually; nor compare them with other manufacturers (although I still have an old Lima model from the 1980s…) however; the tooling and decoration are second to none with so much attention given to the minutiae of detail. It is clear that the design and production team have done their homework. I am also very pleased that a variety of liveries have been produced; including “as delivered”; so a couple of these was a must-have. Having grown up with BR blue however, it was only natural that I would have 4 of them… At the moment, they are on show awaiting testing and a layout...

For the green ones, am I able to get spare white headcode discs?

Beautiful detailed model. Very pleased with it. How about a Class 114 DMU to go with it.
But do the boxes have to be so big?

Very pleased with appearance and model detail. Waiting for sound decoder package to test running and sound.

Excellent runner only issue is the lack of a current appropriate DCC sound chip

Another brilliant model from Accurascale. Really great detail and very quiet running Loco. The box it comes in box larger than most other manufacture's. But this ensures it cannot be damaged in transit. 10/10 again Accurascale

Excellent loco.

This is my 4th Class 30/31, a class of loco I have lived with since 1962. Whilst the previous 3 have fallen by the wayside for various reasons, this is the best one in all respects and will, I trust, cover many"miles" on the layout. Excellent.

What a superb model, ran smoothly straight out of the box and certainly looks the part – well worth the wait.

Fabulous

Beautiful smooth runner and looks perfect with my two green class 37s. Well worth the wait

Authentic and highly detailed model. To assert this must rank as one of the best diesel locomotives ever produced in 4mm scale would be no exaggeration.

This is a great model the detail is outstanding. However,
I am a little bit confused could you tell me if it has a Sound Decoder fitted as I have bought this as a gift for my 10 year old grandson. I did see a note inside the box saying how to adjust it to the appropriate power supply. I do not want to do this as I am not sure of his power supply with I think is a 'Prodigy Unit'
If you could let me know.
Many Thanks
Mr D. Irving

Excellent model, reflects these locos exactly as I remember them. The finish is magnificent, and the shade of the all green (before yellow panels) version is to m mind spot on.

I thought that the Class 37 and Deltic were excellent, but this is the best yet.
