Detailed Description
Detailed Description
The earliest built Austerity in our launch range, this one was built by the Hunslet engine company, Leeds in Feb 1944, and numbered WD 75101. Acquired by the LNER in July 1946 and classified as J94, this locomotive was one of several to retain its desert sand livery with the addition of LNER numerals. At its first shopping date it would be repainted in the standard LNER black livery of the time. The locomotive would be passed to BR and renumbered 68008 before being finally withdrawn in December 1963. Our model represents a “standard” Austerity, with no modifications fitted.

Another fine loco from Accurascale.
Attention to detail, smooth running and looks and sounds great with the dcc sound fit.
So, received the Hunslet Austerity this week in the usual excellent and secure packaging.
Once opened there was the detailing pack and information leaflets on the history of the class plus sound functions.
The first you notice is the weight of the loco. It heavy for a loco of its size so track contact shouldn’t be a problem.
I spent quite a lot of time just looking at the loco and the details and livery application are formidable.
The loco was run in on a rolling road for two hours without the sound function to bed the mechanism in. There there was no sign of loco body rocking.
Once on the layout itself it was a joy to watch with a good selection of sound functions. I did have to reduce the volume to prevent the neighbours from complaining 😂
One thing that isn’t particularly noticeable on the loco website images are the transparent NEM couplings although they are alluded to in the CAD diagrams. They are a lovely touch because they disguise the couplings and if I can source some of them I will convert my rolling stock to them.
Price wise- comparable with other manufacturers but worth every penny.
All in all an excellent little loco so well done to the Accurascale for depleting my bank account once again 👍
I paid for ACC3111-DCC at the end of July, when it was supposed to ship, but it only arrived yesterday, long after other customers received theirs. The model is excellent, with fine detail, smooth running and impressive DCC sound, but the lengthy delay was very disappointing.
very happy with it as usual
A great model. Excellent livery and detail.
incredible finish and running quality straight out of the box, sound quality is as good asi've come to expect with the loco profile perfect.
Highly detailed quality model a must for any serious modeller 👍
