If I could give 10 stars I definitely would! Beautiful train, runs so smooth on my layout and the quality is high detailed and perfection. 1 negative would be the destination signs, I wish they had already been added. Though everything is superb. Exact replica of the real thing!

Despite the long wait what a excellent model lovely presentation box what more can I say

Received my pack 2 of the the TPE mk5 , the packing of the model is very good . As for the model itself is superbly decorated in the livery , I haven’t run them yet , but I am sure there will be no issues like all there other models. well done👍😀.

What a model. Excellent livery application, detail is exceptional, packaging as always is amazing. I would never hesitate in purchasing any model from Accurascale, you get so much quality.

Another excellent model from Accurascale and worth the wait.

Top Quality as expected
Well worth the wait, excellent addition to my vollection. 10/10

First of all I would like to mention the packaging. Accurascale use high strength card boxes for all their products (this was no exception). I consider these essential for protecting these beautiful and valuable models whilst they are being stored. I think this type of packaging should be standard for all manufacturers so well done Accurascale for being one of the early adopters, With this Trans Pennine Mark 5 set they have gone further with excellent graphics on the box too.
The model itself is stunning. The detailing is excellent and the striking TP livery applied perfectly. I am sure this was challenging to achieve in production. The magnetic couplings work really well, give you very close corridor connections and make it quick and easy to assemble and disassemble the set on a layout. This is an excellent model, faithfully reproduced. The look of the real train on which it is based helps it to really stand out, my set drawing quite a few comments at the model railway club. A perfect companion to your Dapol class 68. I like the coach lighting and having a wand that allows you to switch it off is a good move. In these days of generally crazy high prices for OO models, thankfully this set was reasonably priced and for what you get very good value. I would have to say that these are now my favourite set of coaches!
My only suggestion for improvement is for more guidance/information based on my experience with the two points below.
Fitting the destination is a little fiddly and I think they need a bit of glue to retain them (and the clear cover above the cab). For the less skilled this could easily go badly wrong. I used a tiny drop of PVA glue (it won’t react with the paint or plastic and any over spill is easily cleaned with a damp cloth) on a cocktail stick applied to the recess in the coach before placing the destination boards on top.
Removing the DVT coach body to fit the DCC decoder is also a little more tricky than the handbook would lead you to believe. All the rear 6 clips are fairly easily accessible however the front two clips by the front doors are partially obstructed by some of the detail parts fixed to the chassis. I slipped thin pieces of plastic card in from behind rather than from above for these two clips. The chassis also hooks over the cab interior so the procedure that worked for me was, disengage clips, partially separate corridor end of body first, move chassis slightly forwards relative to the body (to disengage the cab interior),partially separate the cab end of the body, holding the body parallel to the chassis fully remove the coach body. Refitting was the reverse procedure.
Overall an amazing model I have been delighted by it and the Class 92 I received before Christmas. Would highly recommend you buy a set if you can obtain one.

Hi there Accurascale -

TPE set very beautiful and runs like a treat.

Only problems are that the box lid was ripped on both corners at one end and I think the plastic packaging was upside down in the white box.

Bit of tight body to get into DVT to put new decoder in. Not sure what that decoder does or is meant to do?

One little bit of detail came off whilst struggling to get DVT apart and back together. Not found where it goes back in place yet!

All the same what a masterpiece of modern railway rolling stock,

If TPE get the sack you can release it again in new colour scheme!

At last it's arrived and well worth the wait.
This sound chip and speaker were easy to fit, although removing the body shell was a bit of a task. It's a pity there is no way of securing the speaker to the circuit board other than double-sided sticky pads.
The sound reproduction is superb.
I had fitted a ESU Loksound V5 chip from another supplier and found it not compatible with the lighting on the engine but now all that is in the past and I am very content with the results.
Well done Accurascale.

A stunning model again from Accurascale, having replicated the complex TPE livery very well on the DT coach in particular.

Nothing short of the best coaches I’ve ever seen for British model trains. I ordered these coaches while riding the actual train and it is possible for me to see where I was sitting when I did it. Superb detail and the light functionality is nothing short of amazing. Will definitely buy some more when the next batch comes out

Great models worth the wait from 2019.

Absolutely amazing coaches with incredible detail and fantastic value for money which is putting other manufacturers to shame. please keep on bringing out more incredible models.

Superb in every aspect and brilliant value for money! Can we have some DMU’s please?
