The Purple Monster

I just received the second release of 9016. This is an impressive model. The weight is amazing. The detailing and finish on this model is quite striking. Although 9016 only carried this livery for a relatively brief time, it would make an eye-catching sight on any 1999-early 2000s era layout.

Outstanding Deltic

My second purchase of the Deltic by Accurascale and it’s top notch! Quality model with great detail, heavy chassis and very smooth runner. Bought the DCC ready version & didn’t need to fit a speaker when putting an HM7000 decoder in.

Porterbrook class 55

I am very pleased with this purchase. Very well packaged. Box art is really good and loco is very well packed.
Loco runs superb and the detail is amazing. I was really looking forward to this model as I missed out on the 1st run. A truly excellent model and without doubt the best Deltic model ever produced.

Missing Instruction Booklet

The loco looks great, but I was expecting an instruction manual with it? Should there be one in the box?
Thanks.

Certainly should be. Check between the foam packing?

Purple Awesomeness

Yeah these were great the first time round and they don't disappoint this time either. High levels of detail and none of it dropping off, fantastic performance and the livery is amazingly unusual and applied brilliantly. Would definitely recommend these as the prices are amazing as usual from Accurascale.
