Siphon G - Dia. O.59 - Transitional BR (in GWR Brown): W2780

I always wanted a Siphon to join my GWR carriage stock and finally this model has fulfilled my heart's desire. The detail is outstanding with the separately fitted wire handrails and other fine details. I could no have wished for a better model.

Stunning model.....

Accurascale should be applauded for continually producing as many variants of the prototype as is practically possible 😊

Superb model

Impossible to criticise such a superb model. Designed and built to an incredibly high standard. My ancient Airfix Siphons can now be relegated to secondary duties! Siphon H next, please.

Superb coach fully detailed in GWR livery transitioning to BR can be used with several different locos the underside is also highly detailed nice corridor gangways made of durable rubber look great comes with a detailing packwhich includes an alternative e coupling for bringing coaches closer together superb coach will be getting more of these

Siphon G - Dia. O.59 - Transitional BR (in GWR Brown): W2780

When it came to running I had two problems. The first was the bogies were too tight and it derailed on certain curves. This was rectified by removing the bogies and making the centre hole a little bigger with a file (as per Sam’s Trains review). The second issue was some random squeaking of the wheels when the siphon was run at a faster but not ridiculous speed. I lightly oiled the wheel bearings and this helped. Now enjoying the model on my layout but was slightly disappointed that it wasn’t RTR from the box.

I am well impressed with this model, I didn't realise that the whole of the underneath is metal. I would like to buy more but I just don't have the funds to do that at the moment.

I thought that Bachman's auto trailer was pushing at the limits of at the limit of fidelity. Now Accuscale have gone and taken things even further. The detail in the mouldings and decoration is just mind blowing. There may not on the face of it be much decoration to get worked up about, but this is the first time that I have seen the mark for the brake release strings reproduced on r-t-r offering. (That is the strings to release the vacuum from the brake cylinder to allow movement with out coupling up the brake pipe or when changing to the lower vacuum of a non GW loco.)The remainder of the production just follows this attention and level of finesse and detail
