For the price this locomotive to me seems good value. The price is comparable to other manufacturers with sound but with much less detail than Accurascale’s locomotive. Coupler will pull out before reaching full pulling capacity but you would nearly have to be pulling a brick.

Absolutely nicely detailed locomotive which had unfortunately some imperfections like a broken off air horn and water tap underneath.
However the after care of Accurascale is also as terrific as the locomotive.
Accurascale allowed me to send it back to their Warranty department in Darlington to get these issues fixed and gave me a 55 pound giftcard for the postage from Australia !
I have no doubt that the Deltic will be returned to me without any imperfections !
Imperfections may come as a result of far going detailing ............
How it runs and sounds has still to be seen when I get it back but I have good faith it will be allright

This is an absolutely fabulous Deltic, coming from Stirling where the regiment was based I just had to have it, I was not disappointed, the detailing is outstanding, I did have an initial problem as I had ordered a crew to man the ship (so to speak) I was not sure how to detach the body to insert the crew, but no problem, a quick e-mail to Accurascale and 5 mins later a wee video popped up on my phone showing exactly what to do, terrific service as always. I have many items from Accurascale now ans all of them are outstandingly good, they must be up there as the finest producers of railway products, I certainly would rate them the very best.

The best loco model we have seen .Had to wait along time for these locos but it was well worth waiting for

Coming from Stirling and having been in the army cadets, I used to run around in army uniform with the Argyll and Sutherland Highlander badge on my glengarry. So when I saw the hornby magazine video about the deltic and saw that accurascale had an Argyll and Sutherland Highlander version, I had to order one (dcc sound fitted). I already had an idea about how good it would be, having bought an Irish Railway Models A-Class (accurascales sister company), but I've been blown away by the deltic.

The detail is absolutely second to none on the market, though as per many people, one of the bogie chains had disconnected in transit. But having made models all my life, only took 5 mins to glue it back on.

The sound quality is amazing too. Not quite as good as my Peckett b2 with a zimo chip and an iPad speaker, but I had to fit and solder that one myself!
