D9000 - BR Green w/cantrail (VXC) - DCC Sound Fitted

Beyond expectations in all departments. Visually stunning and looks like a Deltic should ( not that I have any huge knowledge of these things). Can't fault the build quality and it runs perfectly on my abysmal and ancient Hornby set track. That's now 23 Accurascale locos and rolling stock items all told in the collection and every time they just get better. Can't wait for the next fix!.

It arrived Christmas Eve, ! It is a stunning model, everything about it is great, the look, the lights and the sound. You have set the standard for model locos.
Thank you Accurascale for making my Christmas even more merry!

First of all what a great loco, heavy and full of detail.
When taking out the loco from the plastic encashment i noticed a small peace detail laying in the bottom thinking what could this be, so i checked the loco over discovering it was from where chain is to be attached. However while checking loco over i now discover one of the window wipers was missing. At this stage I was thinking on sending the loco back. I had another look in the plastic surround
And at the very bottom found the missing part. The latest update these have been fitted. However the part which holds the chain paint is missing the green paint. My concern is if parts fall off where do I stand on replacements and how do I replace the missing paint. It a shame this issue spoiling a great loco after waiting over a year. Regards Bob

I just missed the first run and have been looking forward to receiving this ever since .
The wait was definitely worth it as this is a superb loco .
It looks stunning and runs beautifully straight out of the box .
The slow crawl is almost too slow to see and acceleration is silky smooth .
The sound is great although I have yet to explore all the DCC functions and settings .
I believe there are small improvements on this run ,notably the chains are in the accessories bag rather than fitted which I am delighted about .At first I thought they were missing but they are so small that I didn't see them !.I don't think I will be fitting them without a microscope .
Is this the perfect loco ,well I cant see anything to criticize so for me it is .
It brings back childhood memories of seeing these monsters at Kings Cross in the sixties .
Thank you Accurascale ,I love your attitude ,keep on Rocking .

When this was announced it went to the top of my "buy" list. I had to have on as I remember is from it's cross country days

I'm very pleased with the high level detail and the superb performance of the D9000. The communications from Accurascale during the purchasing process has been excellent, I'll definitely be buying more Accurascale product!

Model looks fantastic, excellent detailing and the packaging is first class. Looking forward to trying out the sound!

Firstly I muast say that when I saw the patcel on my doorstep I wondered what uit was. So big a parcel for a little 00 gauge loco? I must say your packaginf is really superb. I spent most of my recent life doing drop on various bit of equipemnt - from 1.5m to 30m and I would imagine that the loco in your packaning would survive a 3m drop on its corner!
My second impresson when I got the locon out of its box was how heavy it was - it could haul at least 600 tons out of the Cross like the A4s did in the war.
My real reason for purchasing a green Deltic waas that this was the period I was travelling to and from Leeds University (member of LUURS) and I can qwell remember tzhe Deltics startibg out of the Cross and blasting their wqax up through the tunnels towards Finsbury Park with both Napier engine roaring away and blue smoking coming from the vents, Also, on the return journey rushing down Stoke banks at 90 .-100 mph. Happy memories rhat I can now recreate with this loco.

Only one complaint - Hornby have produced this new super "real steam" for their express locos - could not you fit "Real diesel fumes" to your Deltics!!t

Hi
Fantastic model! Glad to see an improvement of speaker mounting to eliminate vibratin. Had. To modify my first batch to eliminate this problem,

Another truly stunning model. Nice to see a company listens to their customers and acts on their feedback. Well done the Accurascale team.
