Andrew Barclay 0-4-0ST 14" in liniertem hellblau - unnummeriert

My wife described it as 'sweet'. My grandson shouted 'Thomas!'
However, I would describe it as a dleightful, characterful little charmer. It moved slowly and deliberately, without hesitation, sraightn from the box on pure DC. This weekend I shall fit the decoder and crew. Until then, I'll enjoy r
'running it in' - superfluous but it's what we atre told to do, and a good excuse to play shunting puzzles.

Lovely wee locomotive, lovely shade of blue.

This is a beautiful little model, superbly decorated and with masses of fine detail.It ran smoothly straight from the box and was surprisingly powerful, hauling several carriages easily at a sensible speed for a small shunting loco.

It's safe to say Accurascale have produced a fantastic model. It runs very smooth. It's that nice I've literally just ordered another 1 before they sell out.

i heard good things about these shunters and i wasn't disappointed. It runs very well and crawls brilliant.

Initial impressions of this loco are really positive! After running in the loco runs smoothly and quietly and crawls really well. I'm really happy I chose this livery as it looks fantastic and has been really well applied! I like it so much I might save up for another one!

Very well detailed, smooth runner and for its size, can haul 6 Mk1s with ease.

Very happy with this loco, the packaging was very robust and it turned up in good time. The only negative I have is the loco arrived with the motor unseated allowing the wheels to free wheel. This was however a simple fix as I had to take the body off for a decoder to be fitted anyway. All in all a great loco and I look forward to the P class arriving in due course.

Great little loco , difficulty to fit the ESU sound decoder with causing damage , good runner and nice detail

Very pleased with this loco and good value.

Upon arrival, the loco immediately performed to a high standard. It has since received brass nameplates and has become a favorite on my layout.

Super smooth straight out of the box. A lovely detailed little engine and it's given me more momentum to get the industrial part of my layout up and running. Very pleased.

Extremely difficult to remove the body to fit a Decoder. You need 3 hands to keep the plastic pipe work etc out of the way whilst also trying to put the body back on. Although now running well overall disappointed with the difficulty mentioned.

Can't comment as it was a gift for a friend but looked good.

Very detailed and powerful loco

Great little locomotive!
Decorated wonderfully and runs really well even overpoints etc.

It is such an adorable engine, I always wanted one of these since I saw a YouTube review back when Hattons was still around, but I wasn't able to purchase one yet. Now I finally have one, and I have been charmed by it. It's hard to keep myself from buying the Caledonian Works Grey one to pair with it 😂

A beautifully intricate little model - plenty of sharp detail.

Model is okay,but being my first purchase i am disappointed for the following reasons. 1 Firebox flicker appears standard but only applies to DCC not DC ready, technically trade description illegal. Secondly you do hot state that the locomotive requires running in, IT does then it runs perfectly.

Another great little loco

I couldn't help myself as these locos looked superb in the pictures. I believe that the model was originally conceived by the late Hattons but some improvements have taken place. My model appears to have been shipped from Hong Kong (?) but arrived after about 8 days; it was extremely well packed in quite a large box for such a small loco but ran beautifully straight from the box and looks even better than the pictures. Absolute snip at the price too, very pleased indeed and would highly recommend. I did order a DCC chip at the same time which arrived the following day but need to run the loco in before fitting.

Excellent model

Finally bit the bullet and bought myself a wee treat. What a stunning little loco it is, so much so I may need to invest in another.

I am very pleased with the engine. It runs well.
My only disappointment is that I ordered and paid for it from Hattons. I was informed that the order was being transferred to yourselves. I have copied the original order to accurscale but you informed me that you had no knowledge of the order. Have there been other instances of this happening?
The engine has turned out to be a very expensive purchase

One of two ordered. This one runs perfectly smoothly and at slow shunting pace too. Driven one of these at the heritage railway I volunteer at and very accurate details. Luckily I don't do DCC but if I was too I would suggest that chip installation be made easier either by adding in through the smoke box or easy removals of the tank only. Similar to what dapol (sorry for swearing lol) done with their Hawthorne. Apart from that the fine decoration is exquisite along with the fine details and can't fault it. It pulled four Hornby lner teaks. Overall 10 out of 10. Review video will also be up on my YouTube channel soon.

A lovely little loco, runs really well. Beautiful livery application - top quality. The usual excellent Accurascale packaging. Only one slight niggle - one of the toolboxes/sandboxes had come adrift and was loose in the packaging - soon refitted with a tiny spot of glue.
