Andrew Barclay 0-4-0ST 16" en vert pomme doublé-non numéroté

Well there you go, I said it would be rude not to....and they are really delightful so I thought I would try to get one of the rare ones whose motors have become displaced but no such luck. This one like the other two, ran perfectly straight out of the superb packaging. Superb detail and really a shame the cab roof can't be removed to fully appreciate it. Only one minor gripe - not sure the crosshead would really have been painted green so I painted mine gun metal.

What a nice model! Superb detail and runs well with no visible blemishes. It was packaged very adequately and shipped out promptly

I'm really pleased with this little loco. The detail and finish are superb and it runs really well.

Superb little locomotive. Not the easiest to fit DCC, but managed a decoder and tiny stay alive inside.
Runs beautifully, and pulls more than my layout can hold.
Pretty wee beastie, too.
Thank you very much.

A beautiful-looking model very detailed with much of the fine detail metal instead of flimsy plastic. Finish and lining superb, and an excellent price. On the down side; we have come to expect firebox glow even on the smaller models, and I looked in vain for some etched worksplates in the detailing pack (shame). The worst feature I thought was the over geared mechanism. A model of this type should be able to crawl around happily, but despite a good hour of running in, this loco refuses to start smoothly, but seems to want to rush around like a train set model. Such a pity from such an excellent looking model. Regards JM

A lovely model, very useful as it's a 'generic', and a perfect runner.

The missing star is just for the packaging: this enormous box for a tiny engine.

Excellent model at great price.

Nice little model fits well on a industrial museum layout I'm modelling

Surprisingly heavy. Good runner. First one had to go back for a new motor clip which was disappointing. Accurascale customer service was excellent. Decoration is good - so good I've not yet applied the planned decals etc as I don't want to mess it up!

Unboxed and admired the beautiful finish.
I put it on the test track and applied a little juice. I enjoyed the gentle buzz, but I missed the movement.
It was a real disappointment to receive a duff model. Really no excuse for poor quality control. It had the motor fault associated with the clip. I returned it for repair and addition of a decoder. When returned, the running was poor due, I suspect to quartering of rear axle causing a nasty lurch. I should have returned it again, but lost the will to do so. It runs, but is not great. It will probably languish as out of service for the foreseeable,..,,.

Brilliant model!

Just as fantastic as my previous unnumbered blue lined version. They will look great shunting my 16t wagons when they arrive. How about a brake van or two, to go behind the wagons? The Bachmann van is many years old now

Have had to return my loco as the motor ran but the wheels did not turn.Have read of this problem on Facebook.Hope I have more luck when my replacment arrives in about 10 days,so I am told.

A beautiful little model. Althoughnot numbered or otherwise identified, it looks very much like the Pug the operated at the Dailuaine whisky distillery in Speyside. It will fit perfectly into a little cameo I am building around this location (GNoSR)

As above

Lovely!

On arrival I had to re-seat the motor, I understand that this is a common issue and was a know one at that. Taking the Shell off is a challenge, not as easy as it is mentioned in the Instructions. The motor is a 5 pole but very inadequate to provide the torque that is needed for this little one. After breaking in and fiddling with things to get a decent runner out of the Model I can for certainty say if I had know I would have passed on the Barclay and went with another brand and Model altogether. I am aware that this is solely a Hatton's model and nothing other than Name was changed on this run so Accurascale doesn't really have any blame. I hope that Maybe next run will be much improved but until then I will watch reviews and wait to get another if at all.

Perfect little shunter for the money works perfectly everything on point paintwork and lining all fantastic

The model itself is a decent and faithful representation of the real thing though some of the Roding and smaller details are rather flimsily fixed. The body is rather tight on the chassis which makes fitting the decoder trickier than necessary. The instructions are rather basic and lack detail (especially about fitting a DCC decoder) which probably results in damage due to gripping the body in the wrong place. There is no guidance on the orientation of the DCC chip. the socket is not polarised.

What a fabulous model. Great accuracy and very well detailed and finished.
Runs extremely well and quietly with good slow speed control. Looking forward to the crew becoming available to add more authenticity.
I remember these in action in the 'good old days' so many memories have been rekindled.
A fantastic model. Thank you.

The Andrew B arrived in good time, however it had a problem. I contacted Accurascale & within a short time offered an easy-to-use repair. Great work. The engine performs very well beautifully painted & detailed. Great job on this engine!

Very pleased with my new acquisition, it runs beautifully and looks the beesknees on my garage layout. Really most impressed.

A smart and compact little locomotive, with more weight and details than I've experienced in some larger models.

Unfortunately, my model did arrive non-functioning, but some careful work did rectify this and when I was finally able to test it I found it to be capable of slow, smooth running straight away.

Overall, it is a model I am pleased to have, and I look forward to personalising it further over time.

My Andrew Barclay 0-4-0ST arrived safely and beautifully packaged and presented. I have not had the opportunity to run it yet but I am delighted with the appearance of it which is best described as exquisite. A very happy customer.

This fantastic model great detail runs brilliantly.

Fantastic museum quality model. Good weight and all parts fit perfectly. Packed with detail; including superb cab fittings which you can barely see. Impeccable paint job with incredibly thin lining on 17 panels (must be about 0.5mm thick!). I have examined this microscopically and cannot find a single flaw. Great price by current standards. Highest recommendation.

Loco is as what one would expect from Accurascale - excellent in every way. Moulding is crisp, lining sharp and detail excellent. Very smooth running with excellent slow running capabilities. A must for any industrial line. My model will be named 'MURRAYS' for our Clubs new Brewery (of that name) based layout.

This has been bought for my grandson who has been fortunate enough to work on the real thing at Blaenavon railway.
This is such a good model with great detail.
I am sure he will be very pleased to receive this engine.
