I was very pleased with the Iron ore loads for the PTA hoppers. They look very realistic and fit the wagons perfectly I previously bought some Aggregate loads and was impressed with the quality.
Can't think of a better word to describe my first reaction when I opened this beautiful model. Up until now I haven't had anything in the Intercity livery but thought that the Class 31/4 #31420 would make for an interesting model that offered quite a bit of flexibility with regard to operations. And it is perfect in every area from livery and small detail application to the quality sound reproduction.
I note they are now sold out in both DC and DCC sound models, but shop around asap to see if there is one to be found because you'll truly love it.
Stunningly good model and I’m more than happy with this Network Rail Class 31 #31105. From the bright and distinctive artwork on the presentation box to the clear and sharp livery applied to the model is absolutely top shelf. Additionally, the small details that set Accurascale apart from the competition have been extremely well executed and applied.
Then there is the sound. Wow! The cold engine start brings the model to life and fills my layout room. In motion, the sound is equally impressive and I can imagine I will have a few more “maintenance” trains running around from now on.
In conclusion, the model oozes detail and sound that has truly exceeded my expectations and I'm glad I added this to my roster.
Once I'd seen the Accurascale video on how to fit these it was much easier than my first attempt on a previous loco. Accurascale are to be congratulated on making finescale wheelsets available for their locos.
Very handy if you can't get hold of a sound fitted loco and very easy to fit.
Just what was required for my class 31 in Network Rail yellow. Works well.
Reasonably easy to install. Getting the roof off takes a little effort, those magnets don't want to co-operate. A bit fiddly to get the decoder positioned correctly but once installed I am very pleased with it.
Absolutely fantastic job representing the class 31 and liveried as 31285! Brings me back days when working on the class at the RTC yard!
An excellent set of wheels and the Accurascale method shown on Youtube works very easely and quite quickly too.
The result of swapping the wheels had the 31 running superbly.
Certainly recomend the wheels and the method.
Simply stunning models.Only issue is with tension couplings which failed regularly.Magnetic couplings switched in and sorted.
Stunning livery,superb finish and details, lights perfect. I'd buy more in different liveries if there were any left!
Nice item they fitted very well have also found they fit other manufacturers locos so win win.
Looks really good with other Accurascale Mk2c coaches and Bachmann Mk2fs. Lights are just the right brightness, the lack of DCC control isn't really an issue as I leave them on all the time
Looks and runs superbly, lights are just the right brightness and the stay-alive keeps them on for ages
The new Mark 2c coaches look superb and run perfectly the best coaches on my layout.
Adding these figures to my locos gives the finishing touch i always wanted but could not achieve with my painting skills (and eyesight!)
I am lucky to have 3 variations of this engine 2 Accurascale and 1 of the original Hattons. What a great little model and a great addition to my collection.
Excellent detail, smooth running, good sound. What's not to like about this model?
When the last, very well known Model Railway manufacturer produced the Class 31, was welcomed with open arms; Only criticism I had of those, the occasional model would run askew?
The 30/31 Class were really a BO BO with a centre non-driven floating axle with a smaller diameter wheel which is what Accurascale have faithfully produced with this fantastic model.
