Siphon G - Dia. O.62r (NNV) - BR Rail Blue: W1047

This is a lovely model. Good depth to the bogies, crisply moulded body and a quality finish. Great to see so many variants faithfully reproduced. It's a shame that the NEM coupling pocket has necessitated cutting away the outer ends of the bogies, but this is only really noticeable at the end of a rake. Also, the blue paint used on this model stands out slightly when sat alongside other stock, including Accurascale's newly released Mk2b. I think it's the right blue, just seems to have had optical brighteners added!

A very nice van - plenty of detail and runs very smoothly.

first class model,

Excellent item!

Having purchased a BR transition period Siphon in brown, I wanted a blue Newspapers Siphon G to add to my parcels fleet. The fit and finish of the model is really good and it runs smoothly.

Yet another quality model! Absolutely fabulous 😍

I'm keeping them for Christmas , but they look brilliant and can't wait to try them out.

How many examples do you really need?. I always thought one was enough until Accurascale came along...now it's like modelling crack ....can't get enough!. Previous buyers will already know they have a seriously good thing in buying into this model. I wanted a blue one eventually having GWR and Ambulance versions already but couldn't beat the idea of missing out ..so jumped in to avoid any disappointment. How Accurascale must love those likee!. Again a top model and no complaints at all.

The Siphon is an understated thing of beauty that nicely blends with my 1980s set up. Excellent detail and runs very well. Recommend

I have bought 5 Siphon G vans, they look absolutely fantastic, the detail is second to none, and they look superb running as a rake, especially when coupled together with the supplied magnetic couplers, which really close the gaps between the coaches.
My only negative actually concerns these couplers, they do seem to be fairly weak magnets, which can cause decoupling. Also these couplers when fitted rotate 360 degrees, which causes difficulty in getting the coaches to couple, as you have to rotate the couplings to get the polarity correct for each coach. Maybe a fixed system would be better in future?
Otherwise these are excellent coaches, and I now eagerly await the arrival of the Suburban’s and Mk 2’s.
