First problem I had with any Accurascale model.It had a rough journey . On opening the box I found a broken buffer. I then went on to test it and found no movement as it was seized . The con rods were out of alignment.I fixed this and it ran smoothly. accurascale sent me a replacement buffer but I have not repaired this yet. I had identical issues with another Manor but both are now still working ok. The model detail is very good and now runs well and the sound is excellent. I was happy to give the model 5stars and blame the problems I had with the courier.

Well here's another one I couldn't resist. I wanted an early crest lined green livery and Draycott Manor was just sitting there calling! This is a spectacularly well accomplished model in my view with no detectable weaknesses. They look great and run better. All other superlatives having already been copiously set out by other likely better qualified reviewers I can add little more than say a collection without one of these Manors is much poorer for the ommission. Hats off once again to Accurascale!

First of all minus one star as I'm having an intermittent firebox flicker issue, and it is in customer service's hands. In other aspects, this is one of the best and most beautifully detailed Manor Class locos on the market. They've sold very well and not long before they are sold out across the country. I am confident Accurascale will have a new batch prepared soon over the coming year.

Minus one star as I'm having a firebox flicker issue, and under customer services helping hands. Though, in other aspects, this is one of the highest spected and highly detailed Manor Class locos on the market. They've sold out across the country and am sure Accura will have a new run out with them coming around the corner soon.

I received an eagerly anticipated 7800 Torquay Manor sound fitted and decided it was quite the best of all my collection of 120 locos. So when Accurascale said that their Manors were near sold out I was tempted. 7810 Draycott Manor sound fitted was available. This was early crest with detail differences and more elaborate lining. And it runs brilliantly. The Loksound decoder is set up superbly. Wonderful models, weight feels like quality as does the box.
Already preordered pannier 7714 confident that Accurascale can make that special too.

Arrived promptly in good order well packaged. Had an issue with the centre pair of tender pickups not making contact with the wheels. Contacted Accurascale who responded in a prompt and helpful manner. They replied that they were happy for me to adjust the pickups which was straightforward. Issue now fixed. The overall impression is that this model is as close as possible to the real thing in miniature. No quality issues apart from the pickups. Thanks to Patrick and Simon for their help.

A first class highly detailed model. I have three now and this is probably my favourite livery. Just need to fit the sound chip that I received for Christmas.

You've completely nailed this one with the high quality green livery - just as I recall from clean in service locomotives and not the usual flat green we often experience in other models. Performance exemplary but this is what we naturally and confidently expect from Accurascale!

Solid locomotive. Fantastic detailing kit provided. On board sound is awesome. Five stars. Looking forward to future steam releases.

What a fine model. Looks and sounds like the real thing and runs powerfully and well. Cannot fault it yet and don’t think I will be able to. Have read all other reviews before purchase and am looking forward to new releases such as new pannier tanks etc.
