This is my fifth of the six Class 37 locomotives I bought from Accurascale’s third run, and it is another absolutely excellent locomotive.
The RF Metals 37902 is a brilliant model and, in my opinion, Accurascale’s Class 37 is the best locomotive they make across their whole range. The detail, the weight, the finish, the livery application and the overall presence of the model are all superb. This one captures the Railfreight Metals look beautifully, and the 37902 British Steel Llanwern identity gives it real character.
The DCC sound version was definitely the right choice. The sound fitted model brings the locomotive to life, and the way it runs is exactly what I have come to expect from Accurascale’s Class 37s. Smooth, powerful, reliable and full of detail. The lighting functions, the sound, the motorised fan and all the small touches make it feel like a premium model straight out of the box.
What also says a lot is how quickly these Class 37s sell out. They simply do not hang around on the Accurascale website. Most of this run disappeared almost immediately, with only the non-sound EWS version left when I last looked. I am not especially a fan of the EWS livery in real life, so that one is not really a must-have for me at the moment, although I am still considering it purely because Accurascale’s Class 37 tooling is so good.
This RF Metals 37902 is exactly why I bought so many from the third run. It is beautifully detailed, superbly finished and a fantastic runner. For me, Accurascale’s Class 37 has become the benchmark OO gauge diesel locomotive, and this 37902 is one of the best examples of it.
Highly recommended.

The Accurascale Class 37 37420 in Large Logo Blue is absolutely superb. The blue and yellow BR livery is one of the great Class 37 colour schemes, and Accurascale has captured it beautifully. The colours look fantastic, the finish is crisp, and the model has real presence on the layout.
This is one of six Class 37s I bought from Accurascale's third run, and one of two I chose in the blue and yellow BR livery. In my opinion, 37420 is definitely one of the better Class 37s Accurascale has produced.
The detailing is exceptional, the factory-fitted DCC sound is excellent, and the running quality is smooth and powerful at both low and higher speeds. It feels solid, refined and every bit the premium model it should be.
You know a model is good when it sells out almost immediately, and these Run 3 sound-fitted Class 37s have done exactly that. They have only been available for around a week or so, and the sound-fitted versions have already sold out on Accurascale's own website.
A fantastic locomotive, beautifully executed, and one of the highlights of my Class 37 collection. Highly recommended if you can still find one through a dealer.

The ESU 41010 Loco Cradle is a must-have for any serious model railway enthusiast. It safely and securely holds OO gauge locomotives while you work on them, fit decoders, service them or carry out general maintenance.
It is far better than using improvised foam blocks or other makeshift solutions. The ESU cradle feels properly designed for the job, protects the model well and gives you confidence when working on detailed locomotives.
For the price, it is excellent value and one of those accessories you quickly wonder how you managed without. Simple, practical and absolutely brilliant.

The ESU 50005 Docking Station is a simple but essential accessory for the Mobile Control II or Pro. It sits perfectly next to the ECoS system, matches the setup nicely, and holds the mobile controller securely when not in use.
It makes the whole control area feel neater, more organised and more professional. Yes, it is expensive for what is essentially a piece of plastic, but if you are using the ESU Mobile Control Pro with an ECoS, it is still well worth adding.

The ESU 50115 Mobile Control Pro wireless throttle and Access Point set is an excellent addition to the ESU ECoS system. It gives you proper handheld control without being tied to the main command station, which makes operating a layout far more enjoyable and flexible.
Setup with the ECoS is straightforward, and once connected it feels responsive, accurate and very natural to use. Speed control is smooth, function access is easy, and it is especially useful when running multiple locomotives or moving around the layout.
I was impressed enough to buy two of them, which says a lot. Used alongside the ECoS command station, this is a superb controller and a worthwhile upgrade for anyone serious about DCC operation.

4th class 37 from this batch and just as pleased with this model, looking forward to the next batch announcement.

The Accurascale Class 60 60100 DB Red is an outstanding model, based on the last of the hundred Class 60s built in real life. I now have 60001 and 60100, which makes this particularly special in my collection.
The attention to detail is superb, the finish is crisp, and the heavy metal chassis gives it real presence and excellent hauling power. In my opinion, this is the best Class 60 currently available.
This is also a charity model, with profits supporting a good cause, and it is an Accurascale exclusive, available only directly from their website. I purchased it as DCC ready before I had my ESU ECoS controller, and later added a LokSound decoder and speaker to get full functionality. By the time you add those parts, it ends up costing around 30% more than buying the sound-fitted version outright. My advice is simple: if you want sound, buy the sound-fitted model straight from Accurascale.
I love my Class 60’s and have collected nearly every Accurascale release, along with most Hornby versions since 2019, with more Class 60s on pre-order from Accurascale this summer. Highly recommended for anyone looking for accurate, reliable and beautifully detailed Class 60’s.

Beautiful model, the sound is night and day compared to the Bachmann SFX model.

The coal loads look very good and are easy to remove and store, very very happy and a good price.

Makes operations smooth & amazing

The locomotive is superb and packed with fine detail and decoration, truly a marvel in miniature form.

This is actually my second Golden Ochre Class 30, which probably tells you everything you need to know about how much I like this model.
The Golden Ochre livery is one of the most unusual and eye-catching liveries ever carried by a British locomotive, and Accurascale has reproduced it beautifully. The finish is excellent, the detailing is outstanding, and the factory-fitted DCC sound brings the model to life.
Running performance is superb, with smooth low-speed control and excellent sound quality. Please note that the real locomotive did not carry running lights, so Accurascale has correctly modelled it without them. It does, however, feature cab lighting and illuminated running numbers.
For optimum performance, I run mine using an ESU ECoS system, which works brilliantly with Accurascale models.
A fantastic locomotive, beautifully produced, and one of the highlights of my collection. The fact that I bought a second one says more than any review ever could.

This is my second favourite Class 37 livery, and Accurascale has absolutely nailed it. The Colas colours look superb, the detailing is exceptional, and the factory-fitted DCC sound brings the locomotive to life.
There is a reason why all the Run 3 sound-fitted Class 37s are now sold out on Accurascale's own website. These are simply outstanding models and among the very best locomotives Accurascale has produced.
Running is smooth, the sound is excellent, and the model has real weight and presence. I absolutely love this locomotive. My only regret is not pre-ordering the Lomax version as well, which I really wanted, but my wallet could not stretch that far.
A fantastic model and highly recommended if you can still find one at a dealer.

The Accurascale Class 60 in DCR livery is another excellent release. The detailing is first class, the paint application is sharp and the factory-fitted DCC sound brings the locomotive to life. Running performance is superb, with smooth low-speed operation, excellent hauling power and reliable performance straight from the box.
As someone who owns multiple Class 60s, I can honestly say Accurascale has set the benchmark. The metal chassis gives the model a solid feel, and the sound project is among the best currently available in OO gauge.
By comparison, my experience with Cavalex Class 60s was disappointing. After paying for my models, it took four and a half months before they were repaired and able to run properly. When I raised concerns about motor issues with the Cavalex team at a model railway exhibition, I found their response dismissive rather than reassuring.
Accurascale, on the other hand, has consistently delivered excellent products. Combined with an ESU ECoS system, this locomotive performs beautifully.
If you are looking for a Class 60, my recommendation is simple. Buy the Accurascale version. In my opinion, it is the finest OO gauge Class 60 currently available.

The Accurascale Class 60 in Mainline Grey is superb. Crisp paintwork, excellent detailing, outstanding factory-fitted DCC sound, smooth running and impressive hauling power. It performs exactly as a premium Class 60 should.
By comparison, my experience with Cavalex was extremely disappointing. At a model railway show last year, I asked the Cavalex team about there Class 60 motor issues and other third party fitting sound decoders. They were rude and dismissive, offering no acknowledgement of the failures of there motors and insisting their models were fine. After paying for my Cavalex Class 60s, it took four and a half months to get them repaired so they would run properly. Even now, I do not fully trust them.
Accurascale offers far better value, they are cheaper and have excellent reliability and superb sound straight from the box. Combined with an ESU ECoS system, performance is outstanding. For anyone looking for a Class 60, my recommendation is simple. Buy the Accurascale or Hornby version. Accurascale offer the best Class 60 currently available in OO gauge. Avoid the poor Cavalex running models like the plague.
