One of the nice things about this range is the variety of detailing. So this is my second 88DS, based on a prototype about ten years newer than my first; and it has a different radiator grill, donkey engine cover, lighting and in this case no ballast weights. These are fine models, built up to a standard rather than down to a price and I do hope Accurascale try for another 7mm loco.
Great value shunter. I love the weathered finish and the level of detail in such a small loco. Recommended
A superb smooth running loco with masses of details and excellent sound - looks brilliant next to my 48 !
brilliant MK2 coaches, please do another run of Grey and Blue
This is a beautiful highly detailed model and will be added to the shunter fleet operating on my heritage railway layout
Great Item, sprung buffers, 4 wheel suspension. working **** couplings.
Great Item and of a very high quality. Sprung buffers as well as suspension.
I was happy to get the unnumbered Class 02, as I wanted the Manchester located D2858, so I could just print the needed transfers and now having easily the brillant Helian 02 in just the right version.
Received as a replacement for a failed model, this one has run faultlessly so much relieved and pleased with the service received. Thank you. M Phillips
I haven't had a chance to start her up yet but she carries superb details and she was here within three days of ordering, I'm sure she will run as good as she looks!
Last one in stock which shows this 48DS is great value for money.
The Class 02 runs very well and the details are very good.
There was an issue with the first one, but this was resolved in an exemplary manner and replacement is a wonderful little engine. It has super slow crawling, something of a requirement with a shunter, a realistic top speed. The motor is smooth. Assembled well, zero glue marks or paint defects.
Very good runner, easy converting to DCC /Sound.
Just the switching lights shine very poor. Maybe the acrylic leadings are damaged by glue or construction failure. Only the outside lamps l/r are lighted, the middle lamps are dummy lights.
Painting and details very well done, so the cab interior.
Not used it yet......but a great loco and model....thankyou
Nicely packaged to not damage box and loco
