what a cracker.
Fantastic, runner, fantastic, sound file, fantastic detail, fantastic pulling power,
Wow what a cracker, if any left treat yourself. You will love it
Amazing model, bags of detail with endless playability. Feeling truly spoilt!
What an absolutely stunning model, detail and finish is superb, I bought the DCC ready version as the sound fitted version wasn't in stock but bought the bundle of crew, decoder and speaker when they came in stock. The way the body comes off makes fitting the decoder, speaker and crew an absolute doddle. Another brilliant Accurascale model to go with my 37 and Deltic.
What a great rendition of a class 31 loco. Everything looks right about this model from the grilles, the bogies and the way the windows of the cab look. The only thing I can find wrong was there were no holes for the ploughs to fit into. No real problem if you have a set of small drills and a pin drill. Well done Accurascale.
These locos just keep getting better & better, the 31 is stunning! To anyone on DC unsure whether the sound is worth investing in, trust me it's worth every single penny.
When accurascale first announced their class 31s I was in two minds of ordering one as I had already got several hornby models. Once I had read the spec and seen the pre production samples my mind was starting to change. When I noticed 31128 was planned I instantly ordered one as I was planning on converting one of my older models into this loco. Fast forward around 2 years later and it finally arrived. I quickly unboxed it and was I so impressed, it was straight onto my work bench for detailing and running in. You have done a great job with these locos and it was definitely worth the wait. My only regret is that I should have ordered a sound fitted one. High recommended.
Astonishing detail, beautiful paint and really clever features. As we’ve come to expect from Accurascale, the bar is being raised with every release, simply epic!
Im totaly blown away with this new accurascale class 31!!
Well packed as always,and loco is just stunning!!
From detail right through to smooth running and awsome sound👌👌
Big thank you once again Accurascale⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thanks neil..
Brilliant class 31 model, well detailed. Worth every penny
I knew this locomotive was going to be good but it is exceptional. The detail, paint finish, working roof fan etc are superb, it comes alive with the most realistic sound I have heard in a model locomotive. The cold start is brilliant and I love it.
Accurascale Class31 'Charybdls' BR Blue. Another fantastic model which ran smooth as silk as it glided across the rails and points without any glitches. I fitted the Driver/Second Man crew which was very easy as the body comes off very cleanly and the crew seats are there ready to install. much better system than having to remove a capsule which I have never found simple. Has to be one of Accurascale's best loco's.
Build and detail is a world apart from years gone by from other suppliers. Attention to detail surpassed my expectations. Plus a floating centre bogie on front and rear helps to negotiate some imperfections on my layout that rigid 3 wheel bogie’s are unforgiving . All I need to do now is install the crew then all complete
I have added another Accurascale 31 to my collection! All have arrived in perfect condition and run like sewing machines. The level of detail is incredible. Can’t ask for more!
The loco looks stunning. For too long various manufacturers have failed, in some cases quite noticeably with the correct shade of BR blue but you have nailed it, well done !!
This model of a Class 31 from Accurascale is at the top of its game! I bought a Sound fitted model, it worked straight out of the box! If you can get one I wouldn’t wait too long because when they are gone, they are gone!
Very happy to get 31128, second time up having prevaricated too long but when it arrived, excitement slightly dimmed being greeted with a missing buffer. No sign of the errant part either...not to worry though as the boys in service are sorting out a replacement ...when spares are available . As to the balance of the model, yet again another masterpiece. Didn't have a chance to order 31128 with sound but think I will be upgrading this. Truly lovely mode with a better looking "finish" than others I might mention. It looks great and runs effortlessly . Very happy with it, even sans a
buffer. Can't wait for my Network Rail Exclusive to arrive!
What a great model. Detail is impressive, very smooth running and Accurascales life time warranty make this the ultimate class 31.
The recent arrival of my non ETH "gargoyle" was the end of a patient anticipation filled wait.
The locomotive is gorgeous, dripping with details and looks the part.
I am concerned about the access "covers" on the base of the bogies. These are to protect the driving gears and are only held on by delicate fragile clips. This is a bad design and more structural robustness should be incorporated within the design going forward.
The locomotive running sweetly and regularly rostered on my regular freight workings.
I cannot imagine how this loco could be improved in any way. I absolutely love the smashing details!
Good looks,smooth runner,another stunning model
Very good detail, with crisp paint work. Had issues with light in cab. Only came on at one end. Contacted Accurascale and looks like there is an issue with mine as the DC variant is not supposed to have cab lights even though on the product description says it does. The roof fan is poor. Very very noisy and doesn't run to scale speed. I found getting hold of customer services difficult as no phone number which is poor. It takes too long going to and fro with messages. Also brought to their attention about the misinformation on the cab lights. Overall not a great experience. Even though the model runs very well I wouldn't but from accurascale again. Which is a shame.
My first ever Class 31.
Perfect out of the box, sounds great as per Accurascale standards and depicts the look of the real 31 perfectly.
Another rock solid effort from Accurascale putting this Class 31 at the top of the class.
Cracking model, looking forward to the others arriving
The fine details are amazing its an absolutely stunning Locomotive. Another one added to my collection, very much looking forward to network rail yellow one soon.
Excellent model it captures prototype with great detail and smooth running . Well done again accurascale 👍😀.
An absolutely stunning model smooth and powerful
