Klas 30 - D5615

Looks nice, runs well, and a good match with the Mk1 Suburbans. An overall solid release.

Great model excellent condition great runner, excellent model

Living in the Essex area, these green Brush Type 2’s were common on freight and parcels services (none of this TOPS nonsense)
The Accurascale model is simply superb, it captures the look exactly and runs smoothly
The only issue I have now is that it’s too clean
I need to weather it but maybe tomorrow
Let’s leave it pristine for the moment

Fantastic locomotive details are superb runs exceptionally well true to prototype. Can't fault model at all. Extremely pleased with it.

Superb model relives memories of my 1st Triang, Brush type 2 in blue, but this model has awesome detail.

There have been huge advances in the quality of RTR in the last 20 years and in more recent times advances in manufacturing and technology have seen manufacturers competing with each other to bring to the market something new and better than what has gone before. Accurascale lead this charge and objectively are bringing the greatest fidelity and innovation to the market at the lowest price point of any of their competitors..

I model the 1960's era so limiting my purchasing to models that fit this era I am confident that the 30/31 is the best RTR diesel currently on the market appropriate to my era. It has an inherent 'rightness' that is hard to define but the model looks exactly like it has been lifted from a colour photo. It is superb straight from the box and I have to say its a model I sometimes just stare at - soaking in the wealth and depth of detail. There is something about it that lifts it above the Deltic and the 37. I've thought in the past that Accurascales paint is a little flat but in fact its very fine and subtle and emphasises the detail rather than masking it.

Running quality is smooth, quiet and powerful. Although my model is of the Class 30 I've fitted the Class 31 Accurascale sound chip - I've never heard an original Mirrlees whereas I'm very familiar with 31s. Fitting is straight forward and though the body needs to come off this is an easy procedure - just be careful when replacing the body to ease it on evenly so that all of the bodyside clips properly engage. The sound project is excellent.

Accurascale are going from strength to strength and delivering to market consistently the best models at the keenest prices. This is I feel an objective fact.

I now have quite a few Accurascale locos and this is one of my favourites. There is usual amazing level of detail that Accurascale are now known for - the cabs and the bogies are particularly nicely detailed with painted axle boxes and pipework, a working fan ... and all backed up by Accurascale's lifetime warranty. One very minor gripe - I wish they would have the upgrade bundles in stock so that I could buy everything together.

This outstanding model excels in detail plus running operation. Fitted with essential flywheels, stay alive running and 5 pole motor, its slow running is silky smooth. Model was so good I had to buy a sound decoder to go with it. Now a flagship model in my collection.

Another great model from Accurascale. Ran smooth as silk straight out of the box.

Great detail, lovely runner, has the weight to easily pull a long rake. The lights are the right tone and the magnetic roof panel makes access easy. All at an affordable price.

Was fortunate enough to be able to buy the recently released class 30. Similar to other previously purchased Accurascale locomotives, this one did not disappoint in any way. Well done again guys.

Bought D5615 and have to say it has the to be the best one of this type. The colour and detailing is very good. I think the Mainline blue class 31 will come a close second in to this one. Well done Accurascale for another great model. Bring on the class 50s

Yet another great model by Accurascale at a great price well detailed recommend to anyone modelling end of steam or all eras of diesels

I had planned to order one on Pre Order only to discover it was “Out of Stock”. Delighted to see it back in stock and purchased immediately with sound and EM wheels. Lovely bit of kit 😊. Could do with a bit more info on fitting the AccuraThrash speaker as it’s not a straightforward fit and EM wheels sets have no guidance.

It runs well. It looks nice. The lights work. Nothing fell off in transit. Thank you, next?

I am a huge fan of exotic variants of Locomotives and the Version of the Class 30 is here the first Time in "Ready to Run"
I hope Accurascale brings more Variants of this Locomotive Type. Excellent Detail!

I thought the Blue class 31 was an outstanding model, but this one knocks your eyeballs out, there is no competing with you!!! Thanks a lot for another Superb Model.

The livery and detailing applied to this loco are sensational. It runs silently, with just the sound of the wheels crossing the track breaks. The working fan runs a little fast but so far, appears to run quite quietly. A lot for a very good price.

I love this Class 30 which I largely purchased to remind myself of the same loco I got from Santa in the late 1960s from Triang-Hornby. It is a quality product, beautifully presented and runs very well. I found the access hatch slightly awkward to remove to fit the decoder (it is held in place with magnets, rather than screws). Recommended!

Along with D5549, I pre-ordered D5615 within days of the project announcement. And, as with all the other Accurascale locos that I've purchased, I'm not disappointed. Like D5549 D5615 ran exceptionally quietly, and supper smooth straight from the box. Again the livery etc is crisp and legible, and all separately fitted detailing parts were where they should be. I know that there have been some small price increases with these later releases, but when you look at what the competitors are charging, these are great value for money every time.

Keep up the good work folks, I can't wait to see what you have in store for the future 😀

Another fantastic model from Accurascale. Fitted the Class 31 Lokpilot, works perfectly.

I am a a P4 gauge modeller and builder of kits. The Class 30/31 diesel is a beautiful commercial model that would be difficult to build to the same standard. The option of converting to EM/P4 is a must. From placing on my layout to running is first class. Keep up the good work Accurascale.

Love it😀

Having bought other Accurascale models in the past I thought I would treat myself to a Class 30. What a model it is! The detail is superb, it runs really smoothly and looks amazing in BR Green. Great job Accurascale, 10 out of 10

Still awaiting delivery of the Accurascale DCC sound decoder and speaker kit for my recently received Class 30.... will be delighted to provide a review when this has arrived and been fitted..... perhaps an extra star then?

I wanted to buy the sound version, but this is not available for this model. The problem with the non sound version of Accurascale locos is that they come with only the instructions for a sound loco, and the only decoders that will work the lights as they should work are the ESU decoders that Accurascale provide, pre-programmed by them and sold at a premium. Accurascale does not provide any recommended CV settings for industry standard 21 pin decoders, so getting the lights to function is a challenge. Their support is virtually non existent. You cannot speak to anybody and they will tell you through Instant Messaging that anything other than their proprietary decoders with the secret settings are not supported. So the model is good but only worth two stars when most of the lighting features cannot be enabled.

Another quality loco from Accurascale.

Now that my class 30 has arrived, it looks really nice the only thing is I am waiting for is my sound decoder to be delivered when they have arrived in stock and then I will have the pleasure of seeing it on my Layout.

Another excellent product from Accurascale. Highly detailed, superbly decorated and a lovely runner. First class packaging and very nicely presented.
