Outstanding Cookham Manor

Knowing I was going to visit Didcot Railway Centre in June 2023 (from New Zealand), it was only fitting that I purchased 7808 'Cookham Manor'. What a superb model of the prototype it is. The attention to detail is simply stunning, with many separately fitted parts and crisp livery application. While the fitment of the chimney to the smokebox could be a little better, the copper top looks almost real. Way better than the usual painted efforts of other manufacturers. Speaking of the smokebox, the matt black finish is also a magnificent and welcome change. The wheels are beautifully molded, and the coupling and connecting rods look impressively heavy.

I have the DC version, and the 3 pole motor is perfectly adequate for my application.

Should Accurascale produce a second run of this model, I'll certainly be investing in another; hopefully 'Lyndham Manor' or 'Odney Manor', particularly if they are modelled in as preserved condition.

I could not be more pleased with my purchase. Highly recommended.

Cookham Manor

Purchased on impulse while waiting for class 37 and I am very glad I did. I am not a steam "expert" but even I could see the amount of work and detail that had gone into this model. Very nervous taking the coal load out, but when replaced with real coal and the excellent bespoke crew it took it the model to a even higher level ! Well done guys, any chance of a Stanier Jubilee?

Manor-ificent!

Fantastic locomotive. Definition of the details just right, plenty of other manufacturers add the same detail in, but accurascales approach makes it stand out, you can see crisp rivets and fixings at arm's length.

Paint finish is great, particularly the matted smokebox, saves me doing that bit!

Runs nice and smooth. At first when I turned the power on, nothing happened, then it took off like a racehorse! After that it seemed to have overcomenits stiction and ran well.

The shear bulk of the box is my only gripe. It's double the size of competitors, and hence means I've only space for one loco where there would normally be two.

Another wonderful Manor

I had already purchased Dinmore Manor and was delighted with the quality, detail and value.
Having consulted my 1961 Ian Allen Combined Volume I realised that I had also spotted Cookham Moor - hence the purchase. I am very glad I have. It is superb

Another excellent product from Accurascale

All my purchases so far have been BR Blue era diesels.
I am so impressed by two Deltic’s and two Class 37’s already purchased from Accurascale, and after seeing the reviews of the new Manor’s, I couldn’t resist when the sound fitted ‘Cookham Manor’ was back on sale again.
Once again the detail is absolutely fantastic and puts other manufacturers to shame at a fraction of the cost.
The sound is really good, though lacking an Accurathrash speaker makes it quieter than the diesels previously purchased.
The randomness of the other sounds and firebox flicker, all add to the enjoyment of just watching the loco run around on our club layout.
Well done again Accurascale and keep up the good work!

Fabulous

Absolutely delighted with my Manor. Runs faultlessly, excellent details and sounds. The firebox flicker is brilliant. I now have three Accurascale locos and they are all my favourites. Much better value than the competition. Now waiting for the Class 31 to arrive.

Excellent loco

What a great loco which covers all bases. Has loksound decoder with stay alives already fitted. Runs like a dream over my junction furnished with insulfrog slips and crossings at low speeds too.
