For most preorders, the charge is Deferred until delivery, so you pay No Money Down.

Ensure always that the Cart / Checkout shows "Deferred Charge" with a balance to pay today of Zero, before completing checkout.

You can also choose to pay in installments over a period of up to 12 months. To avail of this option, add the desired item(s) to your shopping cart, then go to the shopping cart and click the "Partial.ly" button, and you will be guided through the relevant setup and checkout process. If the goods arrive in stock before the payment plan has been completed, please note that the remaining balance falls due for collection at that time.

For other items payment is collected when you place the order.

If you have any further questions on this matter, please contact our support team.

By default, we will only ship an order once all items purchased on that order are in stock. Therefore, to avoid unnecessary delays we strongly recommend you place multiple orders for different categories of products.

For example, if you are ordering wagons, place a single order with a single wagon type (e.g. ordering all PFA wagons together, or all PTA wagons together).

If you wish to purchase items from different product lines, it is ideal to place separate orders orders unless all of the items are currently in stock.

If you require further assistance, please contact our support team.

Absolutely!

You can request cancellation by emailing us at support@accurascale.com at any time between ordering and the items coming into stock. Please include the order number and if possible provide some feedback on why you have made the decision, as this information can help us to improve our services in the future.

ACCURASCALE LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY

The Accurascale Limited Lifetime Warranty is a voluntary warranty provided by the manufacturer which offers rights separate to the user’s statutory entitlements under consumer law. Therefore, the benefits provided by the Accurascale Limited Lifetime Warranty are additional to, not replacements for, those entitlements.

The Accurascale Limited Lifetime Warranty comes into effect 30 days after the product is received by the customer and covers the product as housed in its original packaging against deficiencies in materials and workmanship when used normally from the date of delivery. The Accurascale Limited Lifetime Warranty only applies to a product when purchased new from either Accurascale or an authorised retailer and while it remains the property of the original purchaser. Any claims made which do not fall under the scope of the warranty terms will not be accepted.

The Accurascale Limited Warranty does not apply: (a) to consumable components, e.g. batteries or coatings designed to diminish over time, unless occurrence is due to a deficiency in materials or workmanship; (b) to cosmetic damage, including but not limited to scratches, dents and breakages unless occurrence is due to a deficiency in materials or workmanship; (c) to damage resulting from use with a third party component or product, including but not limited to use with older power supplies (e.g. Hammant & Morgan Clipper) which output impure transformation of mains AC voltage to DC voltage, homemade power supplies, or power supplies not intended for use with model railway equipment; (d) to damage caused by accident, abuse or misuse, fire, liquid, chemicals, excessive heat, improper ventilation, power surges, excess or incorrect voltage, neglect or other external cause; (e) to damage caused by operating the product outside Accurascale’s guidelines; (f) to damage caused by service performed by an individual who is not authorised to do so by Accurascale; (g) to a product that has been modified to alter appearance, functionality or capability; (h) to damage caused by normal wear and tear; (i) if any serial number has been removed or rendered illegible; (j) where the product is used as part of a profession, trade or other business; or (k) if Accurascale is informed by relevant authorities that the product has been stolen or if you are unable to provide evidence that you are the authorised user of the product (e.g. by presenting proof of purchase from Accurascale or an authorised stockist).

If you submit a claim Accurascale will, at its discretion:

(i) issue a replacement product of the same model (or with the user’s consent a product that has the same or substantially similar features as the original product – e.g., a different model with identical features, or the same model in a different colour) that is new or comprised of new and/or previously used parts and has been tested and passed as fit for purpose, or

(ii) repair the product using new or previously used parts that have been tested and passed as fit for purpose.

When a product or part is replaced or a refund provided, any replacement item becomes the user’s property and the replaced or refunded item becomes Accurascale's property.

Removing body & adjusting motor position

1. Locate and remove the two outer screws holding the body onto the chassis.

2. Use a good pair of tweezers to detach pipework at the following locations:

(a) Underneath the cab on both sides

(b) Side of the boiler - This pipe has the be lifted clear onto the black part of the chassis on both sides, or it will get caught and cut off when separating the body from the chassis.

(c) Return to the pipework under both sides of the cab and pull it clear of the chassis, which can then be separated from the body.

3.Holding the running boards rather than the tank or cab, remove the chassis starting from the front of the locomotive.

It is possible that the motor may become dislodged from its mounting during transit, taking the worm out of contact with the gear train. This will mean the locomotive will not move when power is applied even though the motor is turning, and the wheels may rotate freely when the model is pushed along. Rectifying this is a simple process...

3. The worm gear is the brass screw located towards the rear of the chassis.

4. Gently push down on the worm to move it back into place, aligning with the gear cog beneath it. A successful alignment will result in the wheels no longer rotating freely.

5. Ensure the motor is housed under the mounting tabs as indicated before replacing the body.

6. Replace the body beginning at the rear end and take care to avoid the pipes under the running board. Ensure all pipework is placed correctly back in position to avoid any interference with the connecting rods while in motion.

How to fit the snowploughs

Please Note: when fitting the snowploughs there are two options.

1. As per the real locomotive, some of the pipes will need to be fitted in a different location as to the non-fitted snowplough locos. This will require you to drill some holes in the buffer beam.

2. Fit the snowploughs and leave some of the pipes off.

First of all, you need to locate the snowplough parts.

Glue the black mounts to the back of the plough, making sure the mounting pip is facing away from the blade.

If you wish to fit all pipework you will need to drill some extra holes (you can skip this step if you are not fitting pipework). Consult photos of the real loco you are modelling for the location of the pipes with the ploughs fitted. The holes for the central blade of the plough need to be 1mm in diameter and the holes under the buffers for the pipes need to be 1.2mm in diameter. The arrows indicate the location of the holes.

The central holes are for the centre blade on the plough. If you are just fitting the ploughs, these are the holes that you will fit the side ploughs into...

Fit the first plough section in place with a very small amount of glue on the mounting point. Let the glue dry before repeating the process with the remaining parts.

The Ploughs fitted in place:

The next stage is to fit the pipes and couplings. The white-tipped pipes are fitted into the holes drilled under the buffers. All other pipes will fit in the pre-existing holes on the bufferbeam.

The finished buffer beam, ready for the layout:

How to fit alternative headcodes

1. Unclip the body from the chassis. It is held in place using four clips located at these positions on each side of the body:

2. Once the body is unclipped, place it upside down on a soft surface to prevent any damage to the roof. Then remove the screw holding the roof-mounted LED PCB in place:

3. Once undone, move the PCB out of the way to allow access and push the headcode panel out from the inside:

4. Once the headcode assembly has been removed, it should comprise of two items - the glazing and the etched head code plate:

5. Peel the existing code from the etch, being careful not to bend the etch plate. Using the supplied headcodes, select the new one and place it on the etch plate, making sure that it is central, and the various characters are over one of the holes in the etch plate:

6. To refit the headcode, place the plate first and then the glazing, making sure that the glazing is installed correctly:

7. Put the roof-mounted LED PCB in place, making sure that the PCB is flat and the 2 pips are in the locating holes on the PCB:

8. Tighten the securing screw in place, making sure the PCB is straight. Re-fit the body to the chassis and your model is ready to go.

Which bufferbeam details suit each variant?

First production:

Fitting bufferbeam details

Your Accurascale Class 55 ‘Deltic’ locomotive includes a full selection of bufferbeam details for fitment by the customer. They are contained in a small, clear plastic bag within the packaging.

For fitment, you will require a set of good quality tweezers, a small jewellers screwdriver, a scalpel and toothpicks or pins to aid glue application. We recommend a good quality super-glue for the fitment of the details.

Your accessory pack will vary in contents and colour depending on the prototype your model is based upon (notably regarding ETH and air brake fitment). Identification of each part is below.

A - Coupler Guard/Striker Plate

B - Vacuum Pipe

C - Screw Coupling

D - Exhauster Outlet Pipes (Both fitted to one end only)

E - ETH Socket (Not included in all models)

F - Steam Heat Pipe

G - Train Air Pipe (Not included in all models)

H - Main Reservoir Air Pipes

Begin fitment by removing the tension lock coupling and NEM fitting from the close coupling mechanism. These are a clip fit and remove with a careful, but firm pull as shown.

The bufferbeams on this model are removable. We suggest working one at a time to avoid confusion. The bufferbeam mouling is remove by loosening the two screws located behind the buffers, as shown above. The bufferbeam can then be removed. Care must be taken for the factory-fitted ETH whilst the bufferbeam is extracted.

A cocktail stick will be used to apply the glue to the bufferbeam components. A pin can also be used. A small amount of glue is place on the detailing component bag. Do not apply glue straight from the bottle to the components.

The Coupler Guard/Striker Plate (Part A) is first fitted. Whilst holding the component with tweezers, a small amount of glue is applied to the top of the Coupler Guard/Striker Plate with the cocktail stick.

The Coupler Guard/Striker Plate is the fitted to the bufferbeam as show above.

The Steam Heat Pipe (Part F) is next. Repeat the same method of glue application as shown above and should be used for all further component fitment.

Turn the bufferbeam over. The Screw Coupling (Part C) is next applied. Be careful not to apply glue to any moving elements of the coupling.

The two Main Reservoir Air Pipes (Part H) are fitted next. There are two on each bufferbeam with the handles located inboard.

Repeat for the other side.

The large Vacuum Pipe (Part B) can now be fitted. Ensure the component is well seated in the hole.

If applicable, the Train Air Pipe (Part G) is fitted next. Again, please ensure the component is well seated in the hole.

If applicable, the ETH socket (Part E) is fitted next. Ensure the component is well seated in the groove.

One end of the locomotive is fitted with two Exhauster Outlet Pipes (Part D). The correct bufferbeam can be identified by two additional mounting holes in the upper left hand side. Use these holes to mount the supplied pipes as shown. The buffer beam can now be reapplied to the locomotive.

How to attach the brake chains between the bogies and the locomotive body (first production)

Our Class 55 ‘Deltic’ model includes four small chains between the locomotives bogies and body. These will need to be removed to remove the locomotives body, instructions for this are provided on our website. If your chain has become detached whilst the model was in transit, we apologise. The finesse of the model and the prototype make this element quite fragile. If you are not happy to carry out the below work then we will be very happy to assist.

If the chain has become detached from the black brake actuator arm moulding:

With a toothpick, apply a small of superglue to the brake actuator arm moulding.

Clutch the last link in the chain with a pair of tweezers.

Carefully place the chain onto the brake actuator arm moulding. Hold for a few seconds whilst the glue forms a bond.

If the black brake actuator arm moulding has become detached from the bodyshell:

Clutch the brake actuator arm moulding with a pair of tweezers.

Apply a small amount of super glue with a cocktail stick.

Place the brake actuator arm moulding back into the bodyside aperture with a pair of tweezers. Hold for a few seconds whilst the glue forms a bond.

Removing the body

Due to the finesse of the prototype and model, the small bogie retention frames are very fragile and their separation is recommended to be kept to a minimum. To remove the bodyshell, hold the brake actuator arm moulding with a toothpick. Then carefully lift the chain with a pair of tweezers, breaking the glue bond.

Carefully drop the chains to the side of the bogies.

The locomotive body is held onto the chassis with four clips. These are located approximately 10mm inboard from the cab doors.

After carefully and lightly pulling the body away from the chassis, a small plasticard shim can be inserted. This will prevent the clip from reengaging. Repeat for all four clips.

The body can now be gently be removed from the chassis.

To refit, the body can be clipped back onto the chassis and the chains reattached with a small amount of superglue applied with a toothpick or pin.

Changing the headcodes

Within the packaging of your Accurascale Class 55 ‘Deltic’ models, you will find one sheet of headcodes and two sheets providing the era and working each version represents. A wide variety of classic ‘Deltic’ workings are covered with the factory-supplied sheets.

Remove the bodyshell, instruction for this process are available on our website about this process. The previous headcode is very lightly held in with adhesive, use a cocktail stick to carefully break the join.

Tweezers can then be used to remove the previous headcode fully.

Remove the new headcode from the sheet using tweezers.

Place the new headcode in the model. A very small amount of PVA glue on the rear of the headcode to hold into place.

Ready to go!

Fitting EM/P4 wheel sets

Accurascale are pleased to be able to offer drop-in replacement EM and P4 wheels for the Class 55 ‘Deltic’ model. Fitment is simple and fully reversible. It is suggested to check the back-to-back wheels with the users favoured EM or P4 back-to-back gauge before fitment.

Fitting the wheels requires just a small, jewellers screwdriver. Start by removing the four small chains at one end to allow the bogie frames to be removed.

Carefully place the screwdriver between the wheel and outer frame of the bogie. Gently lever the outer bogie frame away from the bogie centre to release the end clip. A small click may be heard as it releases.

Repeat this process at the other end of the bogie.

There are four clips on the keeper plate part of the bogie frame. These next need to be released by carefully sliding a thin, jewellers screwdriver between the clip bogie centre.

Repeat for the other three clips.

The bogie frame can now be lifted away.

Remove the centre – this will lift out.

We can now fit the new axles. Compress the bogie pick-up strips between fingers.

With your other hand place the new wheels into position. Check that the bogie pick-up wipers make good contact with the new wheels. If not, remove the wheels and carefully tweak the pick-up wipers outwards.

Repeat for the other axles.

The bogie frames and chains can now be refitted.

Adjusting marker lights on locomotives in second production run (2024)

(Note: this is not required for 9016 in Porterbrook livery)

Run two of our Class 55 Deltic has arrived in stock and settled into service on layouts across the hobby.

Despite vigorous checking processes, we completely missed that some locomotives had been fitted with the incorrect lighting PCB guide facias, which resulted in white marker lights being illuminated. This affects the following running numbers:

• 55002 (Locomotion Models Limited Edition BR Blue
• 55013
• 55020
• D9000 (Preserved 90s Virgin XC Edition)
• D9015 (DPS Limited Edition BR Green)
• D9018

As always, we promised we would supply the 'factory fix' and you'll be pleased to know that the correct facia pieces have arrived!

Obtaining your replacement pieces couldn't be easier, simply email support@accurascale.com with your order number or retailer receipt, your home address and we will post them out to you.

To fit, follow these basic instructions:

1) Remove the locomotive body and locate the black plastic facia on either end of the loco.

2) Gently remove the current facia from the LED board, this is held in place by two spigots and can be removed by hand.

3) Replace with the new facia, making sure all wiring is tucked away before replacing the loco body.


And that's all there is to it, while the body is off, you could also use the opportunity to fit the Modelu custom crew to the drivers and second-man seats. Click here.

Your Accurascale Mk.5 Caledonian Sleepers include a choice of two bodyside destination panels. These can be found in the small plastic bags in the packaging of the models. For fitment, we recommend a basic hobby PVA glue. To allow fitment, you'll need a small amount of PVA glue, a toothpick and a set of blunt nose tweezers.

Using the toothpick, apply several small blobs of glue on the inner lip of the coach bodyside. You do not need much; four to six blobs should be more than enough.

Whilst the glue is still wet, carefully fit the destination board. We suggest fitting one end first (whilst holding the other with tweezers) and then carefully 'hinging' the item into place. Allow to dry and repeat on the other side.

Removing the body

We don't generally recommend removing the bodies, but if you need to do so for passenger fitting or detailing, here is the location of the retaining clips. We recommend gently prying the side of the coach with a guitar pick, credit card, or similar, and sliding a card into the clip location in each spot, and the body will cleanly slide away.
