Accurascale Brand new 'OO' gauge Steam Locomotive announcement

Today we announce the ultimate model of one of the most iconic tank locomotives of them all, the GWR 57xx, 67xx and 8750 Class Pannier Tanks!

Inside the model, you will find our powerful coreless motor suitably geared to allow the pannier to perform just like the real thing. There is the usual 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.

It is anticipated that the locomotives will arrive in stock in Q1, 2025. Our 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 our website for no money down or via monthly instalments at no extra cost, or via our network of local stockists.
Look our for a further announcement of an “Accurascale Exclusive” model in the coming months. 😉🤭

Amazing how things have come forward over the years, the effort Accurascale put into their models seems huge with great attention to historical detail

You should also make the 2721 class, which is basically the same as the 57xx but with minor detail differences and an open cab, it would definitely complete the ‘family’ of locos

Great to see 5741 as one of the examples out the gate, might just well end up being the first Accurascale locomotive I add to my collection

[gwrtromsoe]

Awesome, a modern 57xx would be awesome

[Prometheus]

Please do the Class 52xx tank next, you guys understand a strong engine should actually be able to pull.

[Bucket_Noob]

Whenever I see some steam engines running I just think it beautiful 😊

[marknicholson]

Great to see.
Especially the many variations.
Good to see a release that has so many examples made.
Can’t wait.

Spotted myself a couple times within some of the 7714 clips! Pre ordering now

[Alpha-oo]

Interesting move, considering there are quite a lot of pannier options on the market

[jhiv]

It would have been nice for those of us who cannot attend the exhibition, to see one running on this promotional. It would also have added to the publicity value.

Great looking loco, the last time a had a Pannier tank it was a Hornby model, looks like Accurascale are going down the steam route at the moment, lets hope we see an A4 or a W1 hush hush or a 9F, maybe a City of Truro which would have my full and divided attention.
A Peckett 0-4-0 with sound is on my list for their next loco if its considered then hopefully a class 08.

Man, I think the Bachmann model of the 57xx is gonna have some serious competition now! I love the two Bachmann models that I have, but we'll have to see how Accurascale's example will compare!

[colwichjunction]

Well done Accurascale!

Preordered one today, I don’t even model the steam era!
You will never please all of the people all of the time, but thanks for producing models that are at a good price, full of detail & that run well.
Personally I won’t buy anything off some of the other more established manufacturers anymore because I’m fed up with being disappointed with the quality & overpriced amounts they’re charging for out of date old tooling, poor quality control & inferior running.

Great work👍

It would be interesting for them to model that U.S. export tender locomotive we saw there briefly at the beginning of the video. I’ll bet neither Hornby, Heljan, nor Dapol have plans for that one in the works, though I’m not sure how many takers there would be for that model, at least among British modelers.

[davidhinks]

Mine's on order! Can't wait to get an up to date new tooling. Might stretch to two...

[ausfoodgarden]

A great announcement and the prototypes look fantastic.
I'm sure these will sell extremely well. Not in my wheelhouse though.
I did manage to get one of your recent class 37's and it's awesome.

[JRS]

They ought to release a variant in the Railway Children livery. That would sell pretty well; I know I'd buy it.

[jordandegraaff]

Impressive. I don’t think anyone can beat your announcement!

[JohnDavies-cnro]

Nice to see so much real footage - and that Springbok is a beautiful engine. I think someone is planning a USA consolidation in OO, and, with no disrespect, the Bachmann 57 has been around for a while now.
Let's see what happens before moaning, shall we?

[timbervalleyproductions]

I think that this might end up replacing my Bachmann 5775!
