These are great and I bought 5 packs to fill a good rake of hoppers. The loas themselves are very realistic and I hope that Accurascale continue to re-release all their loads for those who might have missed out first time.
As a Pannier Tank Locomotive fan,I guess I really had to have one of these!
The unique thing about This locomotive is that it does not have the Top Feed for the boile, unlike virtually all the other RTR Pannier Tank model.
The cab interior is really good. I still need to fit the crew in.
The effect of the firebox glow lighting up the cab is lovely!
This is our first sound fitted Pannier. It makes such a difference.
I like it!
I have over 30 locomotives and this one is the best. It looks amazing and runs amazingly. And for such a good price as well.
A striking example of a 5700. With fine moldings throughout the model. Visible central fixed valve gear. This model looks right at the head of a B-set of coaches, or on local freight. A pack of fine details are include, some may find these a little fiddly to add. This is the3rd Accurascale loco I have purchased. this model certainly doesn't disappoint.
Another fantastic model by the Accurascale team, Amazing detail, Smooth runner and the sound is brilliant
This is my first Accurascale loco and it has certainly met my (very high!) expectations. Loco looks amazing (especially the rotating axle boxes, takes realism to another level!)
Great details (including directional lighting and etched nameplates supplied). Smooth running (including at low speeds). Its a wonderful loco and i couldn't be happier with it! (and I'm only a DC user so I'm probably not seeing the half of this locos features!)
This model arrived as usual well packed it took about a week to arrive so that's good.
So on the pannier it is a well detailed model as you come to expect from Accurascale, it is very close to perfection as far a i can see, no faults exquisite lining shed plates and numbering, the sound is excellent i can't really find anything wrong it ran strait from the box with no hesitation at all.
So keep it up
Absolutely stunning! The Accurascale 8750 Class No. 9741 is a true masterpiece and a must-have for any serious GWR enthusiast. The level of detail is phenomenal – from the crisp lining and perfectly applied livery to the intricate cab and pipework, it’s clear that Accurascale has gone above and beyond to capture the essence of this locomotive.
Performance-wise, it’s flawless. Straight out of the box, the running is silky smooth, and the weight gives it a reassuring presence on the track. Every element feels premium, and it’s obvious this model was designed with collectors in mind.
If I had to suggest anything, it would be minor – perhaps clearer instructions for fitting optional parts. But honestly, this model sets a new benchmark for quality and authenticity. It’s not just a locomotive; it’s a showpiece. Highly recommended for anyone who values accuracy, craftsmanship, and sheer beauty in their collection!
I recently received the Accurascale 8750 Class No. 9681 and I’m thoroughly impressed with the overall quality and attention to detail. The finish is exceptional, with crisp lining and accurate livery that really captures the character of the prototype. The running performance straight out of the box is smooth and reliable, and the level of detail on the cab and chassis is outstanding.
That said, there is always room for improvement. The packaging could be slightly more user-friendly for those who like to store models safely after use, and the instructions could include a little more guidance for fitting optional parts.
Overall, this is a fantastic model that demonstrates Accurascale’s commitment to quality and authenticity. I would highly recommend it to any GWR or steam-era enthusiast.
I wrote an extensive review (mostly good) but clicked on an area outside the review box and it disappeared. I can't be arsed to write it again

No loose parts at all, and everything beautifully
Fitted. The paint work is crisp and well applied
With no fuzzy edges visible.
Fully recommended 👍🏻
Bought this because I love panniers and had 22 of other types - this is real step up from those - bought the DC version and was so impressed I bought the DCC sound and crew kit too! Excellent loco.
This is an amazing model. I’m really blown away by every aspect of it. My favourite thing at the moment is the cab interior detail. But also the sounds. I absolutely love it!
I was very excited to hear my model was on its way, I received it 5 days ago it's a wonderful model , not to take anything away from that I will have to say I would liked to have seen the coal modelling in the bunker to have more realism.
Still excited.
I was over the moon when i received my new accurascale pannier tank model. It is brilliant, great running quality and performance, can't wait to make a video on it soon and get it weathered.
A beautiful loco that runs smoothly and looks the part. Close inspection reveals superbly crafted components.
Beautiful locomotive with very fine details. Another cracking Accurascale model.
A Really beautiful Loco ,a second batch please
Sehr guter Artikel zu einem attraktiven Preis,
nur der Versand hat fast eine Woche gedauert, das ist sehr schade.
Fantastic model. Smooth and quiet runner, precise detailing, intricate decoration
This class 5700 is my 12th loco from Accurascale each new model just gets better . Straight out of the box it just runs a dream.
Cracking model, beautiful running straight out the box
