Customer Reviews
Accurascale Class31 'Charybdls' BR Blue. Another fantastic model which ran smooth as silk as it glided across the rails and points without any glitches. I fitted the Driver/Second Man crew which was very easy as the body comes off very cleanly and the crew seats are there ready to install. much better system than having to remove a capsule which I have never found simple. Has to be one of Accurascale's best loco's.
Build and detail is a world apart from years gone by from other suppliers. Attention to detail surpassed my expectations. Plus a floating centre bogie on front and rear helps to negotiate some imperfections on my layout that rigid 3 wheel bogie’s are unforgiving . All I need to do now is install the crew then all complete
Amazing model, bags of detail with endless playability. Feeling truly spoilt!
I have added another Accurascale 31 to my collection! All have arrived in perfect condition and run like sewing machines. The level of detail is incredible. Can’t ask for more!
The loco looks stunning. For too long various manufacturers have failed, in some cases quite noticeably with the correct shade of BR blue but you have nailed it, well done !!
This model of a Class 31 from Accurascale is at the top of its game! I bought a Sound fitted model, it worked straight out of the box! If you can get one I wouldn’t wait too long because when they are gone, they are gone!
Very happy to get 31128, second time up having prevaricated too long but when it arrived, excitement slightly dimmed being greeted with a missing buffer. No sign of the errant part either...not to worry though as the boys in service are sorting out a replacement ...when spares are available . As to the balance of the model, yet again another masterpiece. Didn't have a chance to order 31128 with sound but think I will be upgrading this. Truly lovely mode with a better looking "finish" than others I might mention. It looks great and runs effortlessly . Very happy with it, even sans a
buffer. Can't wait for my Network Rail Exclusive to arrive!
What a great model. Detail is impressive, very smooth running and Accurascales life time warranty make this the ultimate class 31.
The recent arrival of my non ETH "gargoyle" was the end of a patient anticipation filled wait.
The locomotive is gorgeous, dripping with details and looks the part.
I am concerned about the access "covers" on the base of the bogies. These are to protect the driving gears and are only held on by delicate fragile clips. This is a bad design and more structural robustness should be incorporated within the design going forward.
The locomotive running sweetly and regularly rostered on my regular freight workings.
I cannot imagine how this loco could be improved in any way. I absolutely love the smashing details!
