I purchased the Accurascale Class 60 - DCR - 60055 - DCC Sound Fitted late last year, and after many running sessions on the layout, I can honestly say it remains one of the finest locomotives in my collection.
From day one, the detail blew me away — and it still does. The DCR livery is flawlessly applied with crisp logos, sharp lining and beautifully executed warning labels. It perfectly captures the heavy, purposeful presence of the real British Rail Class 60.
🔊 The Sound – As Impressive As Ever
The factory-fitted DCC sound is superb. The deep engine start-up sequence, compressor bursts, turbo spool and that unmistakable low-speed growl give it real character. Even after countless runs, it still puts a smile on my face every time I power it up.
🚂 Performance Over Time
What really stands out is consistency. Slow-speed control remains silky smooth, ideal for yard work, and it handles long freight rakes with ease. Reliable pickups and steady pulling power mean it’s a locomotive I can trust every session.
🔍 The Detail
• Fine etched grilles
• Intricate underframe pipework
• Individually fitted parts
• Realistic cab interior
• Subtle, convincing finish on this DCR example
Accurascale’s commitment to accuracy and quality really shows — and it’s proven itself over time. A few months on, this isn’t just a great model — it’s a proven performer and a firm favourite on the layout. Accurascale truly raised the bar with 60055.
Highly recommended. 🚂👏
