Probably the best Accurascale locomotive so far

Overall excellent. Looks just right and the grilles are superb which is essential on a Class 31, something which I found disappointing on the Class 37. Sounds good too, although I was expecting it to be a little louder. Lighting really good, cab superb. Overall a really great looking and enjoyable model.

Brilliant Class 31

I knew this locomotive was going to be good but it is exceptional. The detail, paint finish, working roof fan etc are superb, it comes alive with the most realistic sound I have heard in a model locomotive. The cold start is brilliant and I love it.

Class 31 - 5544

Stunning model, looks spot on. Running very smooth and quiet straight from the box. With sound the model comes alive. Decoration is superb, so good to have blue pre tops locos.

The best 31

We can be said about this model. It’s a 31 through and through. Cant wait to weather it up and add it to the roster.

I'm struggling to think of anything new to add to the superlatives already published about the Accurascale 31s - simply superb. My only niggle is the headcode lighting on the earlier versions such as this one which only have the outer digits lit. Hopefully there will be a work around to sort this before long

Pre-TOPS Class 31

This locomotive is a must for any pre-TOPS era modeler. Superb detail for a fair price that has become the hallmark of Accurascale.

Class 31 br blue

I was initially pleased to receive this loco as it was long promised. I didn’t mind because I guessed you were delayed due to getting a high quality product into the market. The box is sturdy, very impressed, great info inside plus the usual goody bag. The loco is color shade true, neat lines printing etc. That’s where my joy ran out after opening up the body from chassis, six pieces fell out after dismantling as instructed, this is not acceptable on a brand new loco at today’s costs. I really wanted you guys to smash Bachmann and Hornsby with this one.
I have managed to place all but one part from where they became dislodged. On this occasion you quality control let you down in the pitch to stop Bachmann getting the lions share. If this isn’t rectified I’ll be buying a 31 elsewhere at the same price and consistency of their previous offerings. I was desperate to see you succeed in your models dear all. Make me believe in you again and I may be in the market for your next batch of class 37’s . I need four for my new layout. With best wishes……Cameron
