Caledonian Sleeper Mk5 - Highlander Pack 3 - Inverness

Great looking coaches that accurately capture the look of the real thing. which run well and have good couplings. One drawback is the lighting, it is nowhere near bright enough and completely the wrong colour. The light bleed around the windows is also a concern. The potential second run desperately needs to address these issues, especially if the are going to be asking a much higher price for them.

Really well detailed.

Great coaches, only downside is all lights are on when turning layout on. Rather than turning on the lights you want. This is noticeable on the reds at each end of the coaches when in a consist.

Fantastic level to detail and extremely great value!

These are the perfect match for Accurascale’s excellent Class 92. I’m very excited to see what’s next, and modern coaches as good as these really make me wonder how good an Accurascale modern multiple unit could be…

I bought this highland pack to compliment with the other accurascale highlander pack. Surely, I'm not disappointed with its good quality product. Thanks to Accurascale.

Amazing coaches

I generally model the 80's to 90's era so really didn't have the need for these or 92010 really but couldn't resist after a family holiday to Scotland sleeping on them. Having first pre-ordered 92010 I needed no excuse for a rake of Mk5s for it to haul so pre-ordered two different Highlander packs - the range offered was impressive. The overall presentation and fidelity of the models is second to none and must be one of the best modern coaches in 1:76 scale you can currently get. The detailing and finishing is commendable and look great in a long rake. For what you get in my opinion the coach packs offer great value and easy access when compiling a rake though removing the upper plastic protection in the box I found difficult. My preference would have been for the packaging to be smaller i.e. 2 pairs of coaches stacked together in order to store easier. Overall very pleased with them to date and if these are anything to go by am really looking forward to the Mk2Bs.

Very well detailed and decorated coach models. Hopefully they will run as well as they look.
Prompt response from Accurascale support to an issue with damaged packaging.

For ‘Gushing Reviews’ ..Lookelsewhere now! Yeah yeah- Quality.Packaging blah, blah.Did anyone think to compare the number of Caley liveried Class 92,s when they ordered the Mk5,s?
Clearly you should seriously consider assessing the demand and think about a re-issue.I refer ,of course to the subsequent profiteering on eBay. While that may be ‘their decision’ I declined to be fleeced.So while the ‘Review’ of My purchase is notionally ‘Excellent’ the key observation is Demand exceeding Supply leading to this lamentable situation. (Currently we now own as many Caley liveried locomotives as MK5,s!)
Clearly this is an ‘issue’. Would Accurascale care to consider it?

I didn't get the set I'd have really liked but going on the eBay prices I'm unlikely to get them unless Accurascale do a rerun!

These are more modern stock than I usually go for but I couldn't resist the Scottish connection. The detail is just superb. A weighty coach but understandable at this level of detail. So pleased that I managed to get a set and I will be on the lookout for a second set someday

So much detail packed into an excellent coach. A lot of thought and effort into the packaging too. I expected a lot given all the hype in the run up to their release but I was taken aback by really how good they are. A true market leader. Well done Accurascale.

Coaches look fabulous, paintwork crisp. Interior lighting is very good, correct illumination , not too bright , not too dim. My only gripe and it is small is i have a slight incline on my layout, i bought two packs to run an 8 coach train, the problem is the small magnet coupling are not strong enough to cope and it separates on the incline, I am having to replace the magnet couplings with a larger ( not as pretty) set from another manufacturer.

Accurascale certainly we’re not sleeping when they produced these packs, superb level of detail right down to the magnetic coupling to make the rakes look more realistic.

Only downside is fitting the destination labels, one has disappeared into the coach for later retrieval. This does not override a 10/10 product.

Best coaching stock by a mile. Also the detail on it is out of this world

High quality with lots of fine detail. I have one pack of six and one of four that make a very impressive rake hauled by 92010. The magnetic Dellner couplings are great except they are only strong enough to pull seven coaches. I have ordered the fixed Dellners.

The working title of my layout is 'WCML @ Crewe' which doesn't sound glamorous - until the Caledonian Sleeper pulls into the station! A beautiful model at a reasonable price and a valuable addition to my collection.

In my opinion these Caledonian Sleeper coaches are the best ready to run OO Gauge coaches currently available. The detailing and finish of the coaches really has to be seen to be appreciated. The lighting functions are excellent and the onboard stay alives ensure flicker free operation. My only regret is that I only pre-ordered one pack and missed out on completing my rake.

A beautiful model great detail and smooth running whats not to like

Beautiful scale creation at a resonable price

Exellent coaches quality and detail is second to none love the magnetic close coupling well worth the wait and well worth the price delighted well done accurascale

As I have come to expect from Accurascale now, these carriages are the new bench for quality, detail and features. Every carriage has working tail lights at both ends, full carriage lighting, and magnetic couplers. The livery application and detailing is second to none and would look stunning on a layout even if they were being pulled by a rabid mouse!!! My only complaint…..they have run out and I wish I had bought more of them! Great work Accurascale 10/10!!!

Excellent detail, livery application and running capabilities that capture the real thing very well! The lighting with stay alive is fantastic. Choice of destination screen was appreciated but fitting 8 of these is a little faffy. The pre-fitted magnetic couplers are good quality but removing them has proved challenging so instead of doing that I’m going to fit a magnetic coupling to one of my locomotive’s, it would have been nice if a spare was provided for this purpose.

These coaches are very good and the livery is the best we have seen on any model for a long time. The details are great and the packing very good. You get a wand in the box to wave over parts of the coaches to turn the lights on/off and this takes some getting used to using. They are connected by magnetic couplings with a pair of normal couplings in the box to use when using with a loco if you not have magnetic couplings for it [these available from other places and believe Accurascale may be doing these soon as well]. Over all we are pleased with out purchase and wish had ordered another pack. Accurascale have done good with all releases so far so got alot to keep up with when releasing other items. Delivery was quick as well.

By far the best 00 scale ready to run coaches ever produced

I got my today which I got to say they are my favourite coaches I own with a great livery and also the detail is amazing

When these come in the summer I am going to have a special review for this pack and will look great at night
