ACCURASCALE ANNOUNCES FIRST STEAM LOCO

Accurascale has announced the development of its first steam outline model; the GWR Collett ‘Manor’ 4-6-0 in ‘OO’. Having consulted a range of GWR experts and performed surveys of four different surviving locomotives, the new ‘Manor’ looks set to be impressive.

Development is well under way, and Accurascale is offering a range of detail and tender options, plus a comprehensive technical specification, including a three-pole motor with flywheel, all-wheel power collection, a flickering firebox light and a 21-pin DCC socket in the tender. Sound-fitted versions will also be available.

Delivery is anticipated for Q4 2021 with prices for Dcc-ready set at £169.99 for Dc/dcc-ready locomotives, and £259.99 for DCC sound-fitted locomotives. You can place a pre-order direct with Accurascale with a £30 deposit to secure your order, or via one of 90 stockists.
