This model arrived recently and proved to be everything I would expect from Accurascale. The lighting is something special on this model, with the extra spotlights, and the rest of the model features match the other class 30 and 31 models from Accurascale in the details, livery applications and excellent sound. Performance out of the box is very good, smooth and powerful, and silent (with the sound turned off, of course). I have not yet given the loco a really good long run, but I would expect all of this to continue as it began.
The special, tailored box printing also impressed me. The yellow Network Rail livery appears to have good density and smooth, even coverage, and is very pleasing to the eye.
I am really pleased with my purchase, and hope Accurascale continue to match or exceed the standards set here.
