A Five-Star Class 89, but Buy It Sound Fitted

A phenomenal Class 89 and an easy five-star locomotive. For a DC-only layout, the DCC Ready version is an excellent choice. However, if you plan to use DCC, buy the factory DCC Sound Fitted version if possible rather than plan to upgrade..Much cheaper.
I initially bought the DCC Ready model and then discovered that adding the sound decoder, Accurathrash speaker and crew figures made it considerably more expensive. Accurascale’s excellent customer service took back the locomotive and upgrade bundle, supplied the DCC Sound Fitted version for an additional £100 and allowed me to buy the crew separately.
That saves £17 compared with the all-inclusive bundle, or around £32 compared with buying every component separately. The photograph shows both locomotives together before the DCC Ready version was returned. A superb model, but factory-fitted sound is the smartest option if you're planning a DCC layout in the future. This loco will end up as a collectors item. Only five variations made by BR of the same loco. So no run 2 with new liveries on this.

Top Badger!

Amazing model, superly caught the radical shape of the original, with great livery application and a smooth, powerful runner that will handle a top East Coast Mainline express with ease!

Another Badger joins the set

The Class 89, as is widely known, is unique, so it was great when Accurascale and Rails announced the joint venture to produce. I ordered and received one in Swallow livery, and as hugely impressed by it, now purchased a 2nd in the equally fab GNER livery. Still hopeful that a Class 91 (and 225 set of available coaches and DVT) will be a follow-up project.

I also have 2-Deltics and a Class 50 from Accurascale, and which are equally as good. As well as the Class 91, maybe Warships (Class 42/43), Westerns, and Hymeks in the future.

Had a slight issue with first model as i returned it due to broken buffer

Had a slight issue with first model as i returned it due to broken buffer. Spoke to Stuart who organised a replacement, and wow what a model the detail is superb. Loco runs so smoothly and the sound file is excellent well worth the wait im not disappointed. Looking forward to my class 31 Golden Ochre next year, once again thankyou Stuart for sorting out a replacement.
