Definitely send it back mate considering how much these things cost it should be perfect.

I've had serious running faults on my 37027 and sent it back to Rails of Sheffield. Main problem was that it would barely move even under full throttle. It of course ran perfectly on Rails test track, so they sent it back. However, once again after a short period of reliable running, it developed a severe case of stoppy startyitis, which was persistent. Did some research and saw Graham Foulston's youtube video, so changed CV54 and several other CV values. It seems to be running reliably and consistently now. Some of the fine detail has fallen off, and the snow ploughs were a nightmare. I had to use a pin vice to make the centre holes slightly bigger to get the centre piece to fit and the side ones kept coming out and causing derailments. Even with superglue, they won't stay fixed in position. Given up on them for now. It is not unreasonable to expect such an expensive model to work properly straight out of the box. I'm keeping the model for now as the sound file - apart from the horns and guard's whistle and vibration - is really impressive. Nevertheless, I won't be buying any more locos from Accurascale.

Similar issue on the Deltic, just lower the volume slightly.

good luck with the replacement mate!

That square speaker is a passive radiator that uses back pressure of the main speaker to reinforce the bass.

Pack the speaker with a bit of cardboard it stopped the vibe..... take the top off and fit crew and sort the window at the same time, its easy. its called being a Modeller.

The Accurascale deltic is worse on Sams trains there's a big gap at bottom of window scondmans side but Sam missed it!

I've had missing magnets from the body and / or roof opening. I noticed this on Jenny Kirk's video, but Jenny never noticed it as if she did she would have mentioned it. I'm sure.

I'm with you, you have paid full price its not at clearance prices all manufacturers need to get the mesage that near enough is not good enough. Best regards Bill from western Australia.

I was going to get one of these models in August as they look good. But after seeing this video. I don't know what to do now.

Considering how much we are all paying for these trains, you have every right to send it back.

I have two Deltic s and a 37 from Accurascale and all are brilliant. Being an ex Driver on BR the sounds are spot on .When you compare them with Bachmann they are very good value for money as they have better detail and the sounds are spot on plus they are even cheaper than Bachmann

I’m going to double check mine now. Right though, these things cost enough. By the way, I like that blue wagon next to the train. What is it? Cheers.

Hi, its a shame Accurascale items are not as they should be, the quality control department must be on holiday, how can issues like this get through, i know they had issues getting hold of digital chips for production, the locos's are delicate and thats a fact, poor workmanship doesn't help, there seems to be such a rush to get a product that is so late out as quick as they can without checking them, it's a gamble wether you get a great loco or a headache, i'm a big fan of Accurascale products, i've met the main men in charge who are very genuine people who care about the customers, i can speak for their workforce who get paid good money to do the work, they are very experienced worker in this field so i guess some of them just don't care, pride in what you do goes out the window when you don't care about what your doing, the customer will suffer and so will Accurascale.

I live in Australia. Can you imagine getting a loco here in one piece.

Stick with the Bachmann with TTS and iPhone speaker I think...

they sell 2nd used locos as brand new you did not hear that from me ok :)

Minor but quite a few. Borderline but up to you.

All easy fixes, by the time you send it back with no guarantee the replacement will be any better what have you achieved? Ive had 2 arrive from tmc last week, one cab the glazing had fallen in, similar from Rails. Two minutes to fix..... The Deltic on the other hand a different story , hopefully sorted in version 2

Not good. Was this issue resolved?
