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

Accurascale have done it again. A superb model that I have added the crew to. Detail is outstanding.

Great looks and smooth running

I bought a Deltic released in the initial run of models but reluctantly had to return it as I had issues with derailments, parts falling off etc. Judging by the numerous excellent reviews at that time I have to assume I was very unlucky that my model was a ‘Friday’ model. When run 2 was announced I was a little bit hesitant but decided to take the plunge and I’m so glad that I did!
On opening the box nothing had fallen off in transit, the model looked resplendent in its two tone green livery and there were no glue blobs or paint blemishes to be seen. On track the model performed extremely smoothly and the motor is one of the quietest I’ve experienced. All this prior to running-in too. The sound quality is exceptional with great bass and ‘growl’ and to my untrained ears at least sounds just like a Deltic.
For future models I’d like to suggest providing crew figures and buffer beam detail pre-fitted. Even with the online guides I found it to be a bit of a faff. For those of us with less dexterous fingers and hands a spares bag with a buffer beam pre assembled, like those with your Class 66 models, would be most welcome!
Overall this is a model of exceptional quality and performance and I very pleased to have added a Deltic to my collection.

Absolutely stunning model and sounds awesome

Model is fantastic. Runs like a dream. Only negative is that the headcode and cab lights flicker at one end

Cannot at present as loco still in box and not yet ran. Will e mail you once all run in.

Not just this loco, but I’ve found that Accurascale locos are too delicate for the eggshell design packaging. Anytime a loco is opened , the packaging usually knocks off the NEM Pocket as the packaging is too short for the loco. On the 92s, they usually come with at least one grille fallen off as well as the coupler pocket. Trying to reattach these is a nightmare as the pantograph heads pop off and take ages to get back on again. A stronger system is needed Accurascale. Apart from that, great job on this and other models.

This is an absolutely stunning model phenomenal detail and an incredibly smooth & quiet runner. I still get surprised at how heavy it is every time I pick it up. I am currently using a basic DCC controller from hornby so I can’t access some of the functions but plans are afoot. Thank you. Could I suggest a detailed Stirling single next…

What’s stunning loco. Such a shame a mishap with the lights but that aside a beautiful and lovely sounding locomotive. Can’t wait for the 50s.

Outstanding, incredible detail and incredible sound files
