As expected these wagons are perfectly designed and made, the tarpaulins are excellent - please supply these as separate accessories as I have a number of fitted versions from the "other" manufacturer and modelling the transition period I should not have any with hoods on! My only other comment is that these should really be in the pre 1964 darker grey.

These decoders work perfectly. I have tried other brands, but still come back to Esu. Well worth paying the extra.

I’d love to write a review, but unfortunately my locomotive is… somewhere.
FedEx picked it up and—puff—gone.
I hope I’ll be able to write a positive review anytime soon.

Very effective buffers, nicely sprung and very easy to fit at a very effective price. No hesitation in recommending these for anyone needing buffers. Will buy more as needed.

Another excellent loco to add to my Accurascale collection, sound and paint finish are fantastic. Would have been good to have engine room lights as well.

a fantastic model, with excellent detailing and running characteristics, much better than what they were in real life, awful, smelly, underpowered only 4 powered motors on 6 axles, heavy 107 tons. They didn’t like heavy trains or rising gradients, useless on the MML much better suited to the Fens. Now back to tithe model, the only criticism is, would be nice to have engine room lighting on any future variant's apart from that is top notch.

This model totally captures the shape & character of the prototype .The Blue is just right.Sound great.

This is a great product. I have a limited edition model from 20 years ago of this loco. The Accurascale one is more detailed and runs much better. I have this because it was the loco used at my local pit, where 2 of my great unckes had worked. Really pleased with this new edition to my collection,

Despite the class 31 being my least favourite diesel of the early 80’s, I always loved seeing a skinhead. This model is a beaut.

Doesnt get any better than these

Simply stunning 😋😋😋

One of my all time favourite liveries and captured perfectly. The combination of interchangeable front doors included in the accessories pack is yet another superb addition to what is an iconic class 31.

I have a fleet of these superb locos. This Railfreight Red Stripe is another addition and runs smoothly straight out of the box.

Superb model sticks like glue to the track has no problem with hornby's tight 1st radius points not only that but it looks fabulous and the sound is great All in this is a truly magnificent model

The Accurascale ModelU Class 55 'Deltic' Crew - Driver/Secondman - Late BR are absolutely superb and a must-have for any serious Deltic fan.

As soon as you place them in the cab of a British Rail Class 55, the whole locomotive comes alive. It instantly changes the feel from “model on a layout” to “mainline power ready for departure.”

The poses look completely natural — you can almost hear the twin Napier engines idling while the driver focuses on the road ahead and the secondman keeps watch. The detail and paint finish are crisp and realistic, with just the right late BR-era look.

They fit beautifully, sit naturally in the cab, and add that extra layer of authenticity that really makes people stop and look twice.

It’s amazing how such a small addition can make such a big difference. If you’re running a Late BR Deltic, these figures are the perfect finishing touch.

Five stars without hesitation. 🚂👏
