D9018 - BR Green - DCC Sound Fitted

Waited ages for the opportunity to own this iconic model. Lucky to get my hands on one this year. Great looking.

I realy like this beast of a Engine looks incredible and runs smooth but dos seem to derail at speed for some reason when pulling a rake when going slower it seems to be OK but a excellent model with wonderful sound

An excellent model with great performance and sound. Very pleased.

Dry nice depiction on of D9018 in two tone green.

Excellent as usual. Sounds lovely if a bit quiet. Will sort that out. Only one bit in the box loose, don't know where it came from.
Asked accurascale if they could not deliver until I came back from holiday. Received email from DPD, parcel delivered and picture of the box sat on my food waste bin. Not sure how long it had been sat there . Not very happy with DPD. Sent email to there CEO. Luckily locomotive ok.

After 12 months wait!! I received my deltic and was very impressed with the engine, details and running especially the sound, just sounds real.its a good weight too which adds to the smooth running of it....I'd certainly buy another...recommended 5star buy

I have waited a long time for this model and I am not disappointed, It's been quite a 'learning curve' too - there are a couple of station curves where I will have to ease the radius if the massive Deltic is to get by ! My one and only disappointment is that the roar of the engines as they start to move the train seems rather muted - not the distinctive banshee wail I remember from when I lived near the ECML at York. Maybe there is an adjustment I can make ?

Be there no mistake, this is a superb model locomotive which performs extremely well and has outstanding detail. Excellent sound. I already have several of these and this is my first example from Accurascale’s second run.

Like many others I had experienced issues with the bogie chains on the first batch. I had hoped that this issue would now have been resolved but was disappointed to find that Accurascale’s solution has been to provide the chains in the accessory bag and pass responsibility to fitting them to the customer!

The levers that the chains attach to on the loco body (which are pre-fitted) are still made of a soft plastic which can be a devil to refit if removed to add the chains. The paint can also flake off. One of these was loose inside the box which was also a problem with the first batch. It is a shame these issues were not better resolved - my fingers are crossed that this will be addressed on subsequent issues!

Having said this the loco is superb and one of the finest detailed model locomotives you can buy. Great value for money dispite this minor niggle! Fully recommended.

This is a stunning model. The paint scheme and finsh are excellent and this looks so good running on our layout. Accurascales attention to detail is superb and this is worth every penny.

Stunning quality on the model! Sounds are top tier, and the finish on the paintwork is astonishing! Running quality is brilliant
