55020 - BR Blauw - DCC Sound gemonteerd

The item was received on 12th February 2025; it was badly packed, with damaged paintwork and was also faulty (engine sound was not working on DC). It was returned to Accurascale the same day for a refund which I have now received.

Absolutely stunning

Impressive model of an imposing prototype, runs well and sounds great.

Very nice looking loco, I haven't run it yet because I want to get some more Mk2 carriages, and some Mk 1s as well.

trans action went well till my bank interveened the every thing went smooth train arrived on time no pun intened every thing was well packed train worked straight from box sound was alittle loud soon fixed that every thing is going well just have to finish=h laying the track thank you very much for a very nice train

Enough has been said about the attention to detail and running performance of the model, but the changes made in this second run to fix the few issues with the first batch have been extremely helpful.

The fiasco with the incorrect lighting PCB being fitted to the models from the factory would have had marks taken off it, but Accurascale's support services and the free returns to allow it to be fix and shipped back in a state that is now close enough to perfect more than make up for it.

The whole package makes me more than happy enough to get future models from them.

This is a great model. Improvements have been made on the first batch so there was no broken chains when opening the box. Unlike my purchase in the first run I opted to buy a sound fitted version. ( I upgrade my first dcc ready deltic to sound after purchase). I am not sure what the issue is but the sound is not working on my new model. Hopefully this will be soon resolved with Accurascale after sales team.

Was apprehensive to get one of these as 1st batch reviews were mixed. But took the plunge and have to say it is so magnificent from the big box arriving on the doorstep to seeing the Locomotive box and all the booklet. The model is pure brilliant’s and the sound totally awesome. Runs a dream even on my Hornby points.
Thank you Accurascale. Now have 3 of them. Can’t wait for the 60 and 50

Runs perfectly, sounds great, looks even better! My 6th accura deltic, just 16 more to collect.
Very fast delivery, no damage or loose parts, other manufacturers could learn a lot from Accurascale.

The second batch of Class 55s has improved on an already impressive model. Keep them coming and I'll keep on buying them.

Beautiful model, works brilliantly. Another hit!

A high quality model of 55020. Another excellent purchase from Accurascale

Why doesn't the engine revs return to tick over when you notch back on controller for station stop not got F26/27 on my controller 😵‍💫

Impressed by the details and the finish. the range of speeds and the sounds make the use of the engine very realistic.

Wow! The ultimate model of a Deltic! Awesome detailing, smooth running and an excellent sound-file. Accurascale just continue to excel!

Well done Accurascale for keeping the high standard of accuracy and engineering .

Missed out on the first batch, got one from this batch, excellent detail and sound, great features for the price.

As expected the loco looks superb and significantly cleaner than when I saw her in Doncaster works many years ago .
The finish and detail , together with the packs of bits to add on arevtruly excellent and whilst fitting chains and buffer beam detail will take time , the results will be worth it .
Initial impressions of the running are that it is very smooth and handles the track well with points of various radii dealt with effortlessly. I shall however reserve longer term judgement given the issues I have had with previous Deltics .
The sound is excellent but I have reduced the volumes as certain sounds were a little distorted.
The lighting is very nice and the issue of the illuminated tails lights , well documented and a little disappointing, but nothing that can’t be sorted once the body is off .
My only real gripe is the coupling mechanism. The problems are the same as the first run and will require similar surgery in adapting the mounting plate and the potential removal of the spring . The system has not led to derailments but I still prefer the Bachmann method .
Overall though , the models are lovely and when the snags are resolved they have a presence on the layout which is unmatched in my view .
I am biased though as they are the greatest locos ever built !
Thank you .

Another worthy addition to the accurascale range. Locomotive looks nice in BR blue.

This Deltic model takes me straight back to Kings x in the 70s it truly is fabulous the sound is totally unreal it's like being at the side of the real thing, I've got a Cl66 from Accurascale, But this Deltic is truly something else, I've ordered another Nimbus from TMC who are renumbering it to the Green Howards these Deltics from Accurascale cannot be beat on any level.

Well, it took over a year from placing the order to it's arrival but......
it was worth the wait in the end. The detail and quality are superb.

Yet again, my wait for the Deltic was not in vain .
My OO fleet is purely accurascale now, as I sell off my other non-accurascale models.

Couple of minor issues, the lighting problem and boiler water filler not present, 20 never had its sealed up. However, a fantastic model otherwise.

Top model

Superb in every way! So happy lost four hours ‘playing trains’.
