SECR P Class 0-6-0T 325 in SECR lined green

Runs well, looks gorgeous. Just need some SECR rolling stock now.

I ordered this model at the start of the year an received it with some cosmetic blemishes. Accurascale was very nice and decided to take my model back and send me a replacement, which looks perfect, but ran very poorly. Accurascales amazing support struck again and sent out a replacement wheelset to me, which has finally solved all the issues. Thank you to accurascale for your awesome customer support and bringing back this lovely model

it’s truly an incredible little engine. weighty for its size. impeccable runner. detail and quality is amazing as well. all for a really fair price. if i could give it more stars, i would.

Surprisingly small and great looking little steam engine. Lots of fine detail, no problems with broken or missing parts. Runs well on DC. Huge box though, needs to be much smaller in size. Overall an excellent product and nice to see Hattons, the original creators, mentioned on the box.

Brought this locomotive a few weeks back. Its wonderfully detailed and a fantastic performer. The finish on the livery is of a very high standard. Thanks Accurascale, another fantastic locomotive has been produced.

It arrived today (Saturday 15/02/2025)
after a long time,

Royal mail weren't the best and held the item at their depot with no Updates and sent it back without notifying me.

I Emailed Accurascale and they got a Replacement sent out
Their Customer service team chased up royal mail and got them to deliver the item second time round,

Massive thank you to the Customer Service Team at Accurascale (Y)
Thank you Guys so much

Its a brilliant little Loco,

And and thank you Accurascale for keeping it affordable for Us Model Collectors *Clap* It keeps the hobby going

The loco looks amazing, all the details are very fine and the livery is also a highlight. My only problem with it is, that the running plate is slighty warped, so the tanks don‘t sit flush. But everything else is awesome.

Excellent locomotive. Mine came in perfect condition and runs flawlessly. I'm very happy with my purchase.

Can't really add anything more than what has already been said. Glad someone came up with and approved the manufacturing of these gorgeous locos.

Stunning model, a beautiful rendition of SECR green and wonderful slow speed running.

This is a little gem of a model.
Beautifully executed with fine details and wonderful lining.
One of the nicest models currently available anywhere.
Running characteristics are superb, straight from the box.
Well done Accurascale.

Technically this is my 2nd P Class as I managed to get a Bluebell Pre-owned a few years ago for quite the markup (This was before Hattons announced the rerun). I was perfectly fine w/ the price for the performance and detail at $140, and I frequently called it "The Crown Jewel of my Collection".

Imagine my excitement when the reruns were announced and moved forward despite Hattons' closure. Now I have two brilliant little models, both with astounding detail and both are running smoother than butter. The detailing seems to have even been improved slightly, with writing on the ring of the crest being fairly legible (my Bluebell has a blemished crest on one side, though I'll chalk that up to the previous owner).

Minor Issues:
- Reports of cab steps being loose have been floating around. Mine had this issue (visible in 2 of the photos) and it sadly took a tiny bit of paint off with it. Re-Fitting the step is easy enough, but now I have to find some paint that will blend in with the back piece to at least mask the blemish.
- Whistle was mildly loose out of the box, decided to just pull the thing out n super glue it back into place. Easy fix.
- Tiiiiiny little scratch by all the pipework at the front of one of the tanks. Happened to catch this one basically by accident while examining the model fresh out of the box under a bright focused light. You will absolutely never notice something like this while it's on a layout, unlikely to notice while on display in a case. Personally, I don't really care about a scratch that tiny basically hiding behind all the brilliant detail right next to it, but I didn't want to leave it out of the review.

Suggestions for a buyer: Grab at least one. These things are beautifully decorated and are some of the best runners in my collection of around 40 different classes, all for an absolute bargain. First thing out of the box should be to check fitment around the steps and whistle.

Suggestions for Accurascale: Many of these issues (Especially the Barclay Industrials motor mounts) should've been caught during QC. Now that the Andrew Barclays and the P Classes both have had issues out of the box, the packaging needs to be revised (and you all acknowledge this because the Barclay fix mentions replacement packaging being shipped alongside the fix).
I think either the clamshell is too tight / rigid, or the foam is too rigid, so it doesn't provide enough shock absorption during transit. The almost comedically large box is nice, but if it doesn't actually protect the model from shocks then who cares.

I recieved the P class a couple of weeks ago, and it is superb, Great runner ,, great livery, a class act. Not perfect however, It has a missing step (Spares expected in a few weeks) and the wheels were so dirty it ran terribly. a thorough wheel clean sorted this , and its a great runner.

Amazing model but disappointed that one of the steps was broken off in the box which had also taken a large chunk of paint with it. So having to return.

Fantastic model - extremely well detailed and super smooth runner straight out of the box. Great to see this model in the Accurascale range.

The locomotive is superb and packed with fine detail and decoration, truly a marvel in miniature form.

Nice details and runs very smooth

Sadly this model was faulty, conrods were locked, damage in assembly or transport possibly. Rare to have a faulty model this bad, and moreso from Accurascale. They refunded and didnt quibble it, so cant fault the service. Better than others at times!

My feeling about Bluebell are mirrored here. Looks great. Needs a bit of a warmup, but runs well. Affordable.

Superb and immaculate quality and detail which runs very well.

The P Class arrived in Australia in perfect condition.
Every aspect of the model is immaculate, details, assembly paint, lining.
My layout has some 3% gradients and the P Class handles them nicely with 5 wagons.
Very happy with my purchase.
Please do another run so I can get Bluebell as well :)
