Accurascale GWR 57xx/67xx/8750 Pannier Tank decorated samples revealed

The sheer number of variances in tooling options took a while to get right before moving on to decoration, however, production is about to get underway once changes have been implemented from the feedback given.

Delivery is still slated for Q1, 2025. The Pannier Tanks are priced at £139.95 for DC/DCC Ready models and £239.95 for DCC Sound-Fitted models. Locomotives can be pre-ordered via Accurascale’s website for no money down or via monthly instalments at no extra cost. 

Inside the model is a powerful coreless motor suitably geared to allow the pannier to perform just like the real thing. There is a twin LED firebox flicker arrangement and a pair of sugar cube speakers for authentic sound reproduction on DCC sound-fitted models. The DCC decoder is accessed through a magnetically removable smokebox door and pull-out board for trouble-free decoder fitting.
