BR Clas 50 - Suaicheantas mòr w/ mullach liath & stiall cantrail orains - 50021 'Rodney'

Accurascale have captured the look of the class 50 perfectly, the loco runs smoothly and is very powerful. I bought the DCC ready version as there were no sound fitted versions available at the time, however Accurascale sell the decoder packages for these and the sound file is excellent...

A great looking and running loco.
My only issue was a dislodged jumper cable that was in the box.
It would have been nice if it arrived with the replacement painted parts but they were not included unfortunately.

Excellent model ,despite the known issues. It doesn't put me off, here's to my next 50 hopefully very soon to the ever growing accurascale collection

Pleased with the Delivery of my Accurascale Class 50 50021 'Rodney'. Great livery, a superb standout model on the layout.
Looks the business on a rake of Mk2 coaches.
Delighted with my purchase.

Looks superb, runs superb and very high quality. What more could you want??

few bits had dropped off in transit, the orange MU sockets on the front look toy like and need a blob of orange paint. over all though lovely loco, great runner

Having already purchased the 66 and 31 and 37 from Accurascale the 50 was the next choice for me. The loco is most definitely a step up from previous models and has much better detail in several key areas; the windows and front guttering feature the correct sloping angled look and the headcode box area has the little handles as well. The body is easy enough to remove and fortunately I read up about this before committing to removing the body. 50021 runs nice, with the headcode lights and main headlight illuminating with the taillights on the other end correctly. The cab detail is also nice with every present and illuminated dials. The underframe also is much better and details are moulded solidly and also have the extra pipework modelled with the protective mesh underneath the air compressor area. Overall a nice model of the class 50, which I shall enjoying running more many years to come, shall look forward to run #2

Absolutely fantastic model, it looks and performs faultlessly. The weight of the loco is incredible and I couldn’t be any happier with it.

I opted for the dcc ready version. Will add sound at a later date. First impressions of the loco. Absolutely fantastic. I must of looked at it over 20 times and I'm always noticing something else. The attention to detail is insane. It runs ultra quiet and smooth. The interior can detail just blows the completion out the water. Illuminated drivers desk is very impressive. So the question I've been asked a few times is. Do you think it's worth £189.99. Yes, absolutely. Hence I brought a second Accurascale DCC ready Class 50. The Hanson and Hall Thunderer. Judging by the detail on these Class 50s. The long awaited Class 89s will be amazing too. I'd highly recommend an Accurascale Class 50.
Well done to Accurascale for producing the ultimate Class 50

Excellent runner, love these 50’s can’t wait for the second run!

After purchasing 50014 and 50017 more of 50021 came into stock on Accurascales website. I decided not to hang around as I wanted a large logo grey roof version, would have preferred Anson. Just like the others I was taken aback with the detail on the model, great representation of the original, underframe and bogie detail is next level, check out the etched grill covering the air tanks! Cab and livery application is superb. Only thing is the multiple working boxes, but these were easily fixed by mixing up some railmatch enamel to the correct shade and applying carefully, much easier than attaching the replacements. What a model!

I'm so happy with my class 50, the look of the model is just super. I also had a good laugh joke name board included in the detail bag, a funny nod to a good British comedy.

A great loco spoilt with minor defects which were avoidable. It appears that many class 50's have come with damage to small parts on the body & non painted boxes. This one came with broken ladders on No 2 end as well. Such a shame as we have come to expect more from Accurascale. That said what a fantastic loco it is & would surely have been up there for model of the year.

A few parts had become detached in the box. Soon replaced. But overall a superb model in large logo blue. Runs beautifully.

The loco is a great example of the large ligo liveried unit I recall so fondly.
The only thing that detracts from its excellent score is the orange plastic utilised to produce the ETH cable sockets and jumper cable housings on the cab fronts. Although acceptable, it shows that penny pinching is starting to creep into the production process. I would have preferred the parts concerned to be painted in orange paint... plastic never quite does it... except maybe "Lego" orange!
Thanks team.
P.S. Let's see some more AC electrics being considered... classes 81, 82, 83, 84 and 85s cheers.

50021 arrived with lots of loose detailing in the box, thankfully all present and was able to be fixed.

Shipping time is getting longer

Another amazing model from accurascale

Excellent model, I hope to get a couple more in different eras

I've brought two so far to replace my old horn by ones, and have to say 10 out 10. They run and look so well I was blown away. I shall be buying more.
