Beautiful model with wonderful detail. The box was a nice touch as it presented the model really well.
The second batch of Class 55s has improved on an already impressive model. Keep them coming and I'll keep on buying them.
The BSOs have so much exquisite detail. From the tables with its metal trim, the realistic lighting to the simply amazing cage in the guards area, it doesn't disappoint in any area.
There's noting more that needs to be said other than its an absolute stunning coach! My passion to see Accurascale make a MK3 to go along with these is now ever stronger.
One of the best models that I own, great detail, well packaged, arrived in great condition, haven't tried it yet as my layout is not up now, so long waiting for it, but will display it in my cabinet, so I can see it.
I have several NCB locos and other models, so decided to buy a couple of packs of these NCB black 16T wagons to go with them.
IMO these are the best 16T Mineral wagons currently on the market.
A big upgrade on my old Hornby ones as expected. I also compared them to my Wrenn 16T wagons. These have decent detail but it's not as fine or to the same extent. The Wrenn wagons also have thicker sides and are 5mm longer.
The Accurascale wagons weigh in at 35g each compared to 31g for my Hornby wagons and 55g for the Wrenn's.
The most noticeable improvement in detail with the Accurascale wagons is on the chassis with the brake rigging etc and the print on the sides. There is also some detailing on the inside. The gates are separately fitted parts, though I don't think they open and don't want to risk trying.
They're lovely runners and freewheel an impressive distance. The detail pack includes 2 sets of alternative couplings: Some longer NEMs and 3 chain.
As I've just written regarding the TSO(T), this model is superbly decorated, and the level of detail (especially the interior detail) is fabulous. The range of coupling options is also impressive. Another excellent addition to my layout, just waiting for a Class 50 of the same quality!

Great little runner. Livery executed flawlessly with no glue marks. A permanent fixture on my layout
Right from the first in opening the box i knew i was in for a treat. These are the greatest little coaches ever. The perform as advertised and I just want to keep running them around the layout.. Currently hauled by an Accurascale blue Deltic but hey! Why not?
Great coach. Superb in every way - can't be beat - Thank you accurascale.
These coaches are wonderfully detailed and run well. The mini buffet is a good addition to my NSE rake and will respond well to some light weathering of the underframe. With the magnetic couplings these coaches sit very close together. If I could make a suggestion it would be to include a couple of spare NEM pocket spacers as they are very easy to lose especially as the magnetic couplings are a tight fit. This would be more useful than the spare buffers.
These are by far the best Mk 1 suburban-s out there. They work and run flawlessly. I bought three. I run them of DCC but they would be a welcome addition to a DC layout as the lights stay on for quite some time when the power is off. Small minor niggle - this coach has issues in getting the lights to work. But they do eventually switch on. It may be something to do with the capacitor on this coach; it may have to charge up before the lights work - At least I think that that may be the problem.
Looks great out of the box, fab paint job. Haven't had a chance to run it yet, but think it'll be a good runner.
Only one way to describe these models like all other accurascale models... fantastic.
Keep it up they really do enhance my layout and my enjoyment when running them.
Another excellent model from Accurascale.. Very close coupling when using the magnetic couplings included.. Interior lighting as well. What's not to like.
