I placed my order back in 2019, paying my £30 deposit. I was told at the time that once the product arrived in stock, emails would be sent out requesting the balance be paid. As the news about delivery approached I contacted Accurascale to ask about the balance payment and then got told the shipping would be done in order of full payment, but no emails had been received and my order was now number 30000 something, which I was a little disappointed to hear after the long wait. Yeah ok it only took a week to process all the orders, pretty good really, so not too bad in the end!

On delivery, which was on time, well packed and undamaged, I checked my loco as I had seen on Youtube others had detail detached in transit, mine had one corner step adrift which I glued back in place. Everything else was perfect, no paint marks, glue mark or other detail adrift, truely beautiful and well worth the long wait. The model runs well and sounds amazing, those Napier engines really do sound awesome but I had to turn mine down to 40% of full volume, it was just so loud. I have had one or two occasions when the bogie chains have got caught between the bogie and body causing a derailment, but it's rare. Also the weight of the model has very occasionally caused one of my Peco code 75 large radius facing point blades to move as the loco goes over it again causing a derailment. I also remember the original order pages mentioned etched name plates factory fitted and buffer beam detail added, well I am kind of glad you didn't factory fit the detail as most people would only remove it to fit the couplings, I use both ends of the loco on my layout. I feel as if the bogie chains will eventually get left off by many as the models become due servicing over time, or people open them up to fit Accurafolk drivers. Would it not have been possible to have the body end of the handbrake linkage attached to the chassis and not the body?

You should be commended for staying true to your promise about the most detailed Deltic out there, not only that but in todays climate of price rises you kept to your word and didn't rise the price just because other manufacturers did. Thank you and very well done for that.

This was my first order with you, I feel it is a shame it is neccesary to pre order a model just to get one, I would have liked to see a Deltic first before placing an order, but that goes for all manufacturers now not just Accurascale, and the day of popping down to the local model shop with my money to buy the latest model is long gone.

A truely fantastic product which fills me with much confidence about receiving my next product from you a Class 37........can't wait.

Thank you and a big pat on the back Accurascale, from a very satified customer.

A staggeringly good model in all respects. Over the 3 year wait I ended up buying 8 with sound. All work beautifully as promised and expected. Sadly 6 of them had detached parking brake chains which I haven't sorted yet but shall do. A small price to pay for these beasts. Hopefully the 37's don't suffer the same. However more than worth every penny.

Travelling behind these amazing machines during 1980 / 1981 on the ECML, I have to say that on taking this model out of the box, those memories came flooding back!! These are one of the finest model locomotives that I have had the pleasure to own, and I am so happy that I decided to make purchases. They shout to me, "I am a Deltic", the shape, and pressence are perfect. The enclosed booklet and information are top notch, super sheet of headcodes if you want to change those fitted, and with details about what trains they are for. Those boxes are BIG, and the models are very secure within. A perfect prototype as a first new model locomotive announcement, and a proven mark on the way ahead for ACCURASCALE.

Overall I'm very impressed with this model, it runs very well, is highly detailed and looks fantastic, by far the best Deltic ever produced. However, the drive lock function is not working on my sound chip and I've heard from others that they've had the same issue, is there a way of activating this function?. I'm looking forward to receiving my 2 class 92s when they become available having run the pre-production model with the pan on the catenary I installed on Pete Waterman's 'Making tracks' layout at The Great Electric Train Show last year it looked very impressive. Hope its available in time for this years show with the 'Making Tracks 2' layout.

Not yet run as a train, but details on wagon and packaging are excellent. Very gentle gradient on my layout and wagon ran down without any problem. A good model for the price.

I have ordered the two sets of the Drivers and Second men for my Deltic Cab as my first order has now arrived and I am highly delighted with the Driver and Second Man as it saves me a lot of bother having to go and search for a Driver and Second Man ,as well done to Accurascale for forward thinking on doing this.

Accurascale has certainly raised the bar in terms of attention to detail and the fantastic wealth of features this sound fitted deltic model provides.

The locomotive (55018) is certainly weighty and the removable roof section for access to the decoder socket is helpful. The bogie detail and interior cab detail is amazing. The practically bomb proof packaging is most helpful. A very satisfied customer of this fine model!

I received my Deltic at the same time as a new Bachmann 47 and the comparison between the 2 was really eye opener. The Deltic is far better in all aspects. It’s level of detail, it sound, the paper work, the box……..everything!! The Accuascale Deltic is quite simply the best model I now own……it’s even better the my Suttons 24, which takes some doing.
I also bought 55002 from Locomotion and glad I did.

Given that this model has taken a while to be delivered. I must say the the communication from Accurascale has been simply brilliant. I paid for the Deltic in instalments which is a great innovation from a model company and my only disappointment is I didn’t order 55018 as well.

I’m really impressed with the Deltic ad a model and the price I paid for them, compared with the Bachmann 47 ad I can see every penny of value in the Deltic as opposed to the Bachmann 47.

I’d really recommended anyone who want a Deltic to
Buy the Accuscale Deltic……it’s simply the best model yet produced. Your love it!

In my 57 years on this complicated planet have I ever seen such incredible detail to this scale. You have not only produced an amazing piece of art work but you have also raised the bar for all the others to try and jump over, this will take your competitors a many few years to catch up. Can you please also continue to provide such stunning representations in 0 gauge. Keep up the marvellous work . Very best regards, Paul.

Superbly detailed train crew figures printed in full colour. Skin tones are a little lifetime of 40 a day but the colours work particularly well on the second man with his blue shirt.

Opened my parcel yesterday. What a fantastic model (which bodes well for the class 37 on order with my local model shop). Only had time for the rolling road so far as my new layout - as still waiting for Peco's bullhead points - but has alreadyimpressed. A little frustrated looking for a Lokpilot decoder or equivalent but I can wait.

55018 is the best off the shelf loco I've seen smooth runner and the sound is brilliant .if I do have a small complaint is that you go to all that trouble to get it right then u don't put a driver in them . But its trivial can't wait to order a few class 31s

Another winner from Accurascale, by far the best class 55 on the market and at an acceptable price. The only slight criticism is with the 3 link coupling which looks to be a flexible, but cosmetic part, rather than a usable working coupling for those who prefer real scale couplings.
But that said no RTR company produces models with scale couplings, yet?

Excellent, really pleased with this model. No problems, impressive packaging. Good pricing really good value for money.

Excellent model all as I remember when I used to watch the deltics in their days. Beautifully presented in large box, well protected for transport. One small piece had fallen off (don't know where it goes), and a chain was hanging loose. All acceptable with a model with so much fine detail.
