Sifón G - Diámetro 0,33 - BR Rojo Carmín: W2977W

Received mine around 2 weeks ago and was very impressed. Well packaged, loaded with detail and very smooth running. One of the wire details had detached on its way to Australia, which was easily rectified, and has now been weathered as per the pic. I felt the BR Crimson was a bit too "bright" so gave it a dark grey wash first before weathering with an airbrush and then Pan Pastels. Very impressive model.

Good quality, fast delivery.

Well packaged and detailed model. Great model.

Fantastic van with great detail and a swift delivery. Just need some period coaches to run it with

Likewise to my very recent review of another Siphon coach purchased at the same time as this beauty, my satisfaction is no different, a delightful product with detail second to none. Well done again Accurascale!

Having hesitated before ordering i was extremly happy with my purchase , the detail is superb
Thankyou

Really well detailed model and excellent application of the livery and text, 2 small issues one buffer was loose in the box and one axle is really squeaky when running

Superb model with wonderful detail and decoration. Well worth the full price.
Even better at bargain price.

Well package arrived with no damage (none from Accurascale)

Very good

Great model. Puts my Lima conversions to shame. Have to hide them at the back now!

My second Siphon G, the buy prompted by being advised by Accurascale to use my loyalty points.
So as superb as my first Siphon G but with a distinctive colour. Very pleased.

Having been reminded about POINTS accumulated, I then had a quick look at the amount I had! There were enough POINTS to get this brilliant Coach for just £10! Yup...£10.
It is a beautiful model in every respect.

This is and outstanding vehicle with many small parts which would be difficult to make.

Have you thought of including the appropriate length Kay-Dee couplings as well as those horrible things usually used (but not by me!) in the British market.

A very good representation of the original, with a extremely detailed under carriage.

Beautifully detailed

Excellent delivery, great detail and looks good on the layout.

I have been a modeler since the 1960s,was in the P4 model group,and i have seen some of the finest models,and met some of their makers of the same.and i have to say these are one of the finest models i have seen,more or less museum standard. i do not agree with your remarks about the NEM pocket,in my opinion it is in the correct position,most makers stick to the correct height,but not the length to the buffer end,you are trying to compramise for the rubbish tension lock coupling,.I use the Fleischmann 6515 coupling on all my passenger stock,and this connects the Siphons to the close coupling required.a much better option than magnetic couplers.these couplings are light years in front of the ancient (tension lock) the Fleischmanns give a correct safe connection,(no shuffling about like an ancient loose coupled coal train)You should try them,and i am just a customer.But these Siphons are superb,the only thing i could say i would have hoped to have got some end doors for the corridor connections,i fit Hornby Hawksworth doors which fit great and improve the look,after all in service it was rare to see them connected up.For my wish list how about the ex LMS 42ft bogie CCT an iconic coach,it would be a top seller,as they lasted from 1930s up to the mid 70s,in lots of different liveries.hope you might find time to look at this review!

This is a very high quality piece of model rolling stock. The quality of finish is excellent and the level of separate detail is impressive. One of Accurascale's first, if not THE first, ventures into coaching stock. In that context it has to be regarded as an extremely good start!

Arrived unharmed and all bits still fitted. An excellent model in every way - it seems a shame to weather it to the deplorable standard I remember them normally travelling around in.

What more can be said about these models that hasn't already been said. The detail is top notch with a good weight to the model and excellent running quality.

These fit perfectly within a parcels train or with a set of coaches as a through van. Just wish I could justify more than one as I would get more!!!

This beautiful coach has helped me re-create my long awaited Paper train. Many thanks

Excellent Model, super detail. Can't wait for the Mk 1 Suburbans

The detail on this model is superb. Perfection in miniature! I have added three of these to my collection so far - I will be ordering more. Well done Accurascale!

Purchased the carmine w2977w first. As good a model as it gets. ran perfectly thru point work of elderly track, superbly detailed underframe. Everything spot on so I bought w2938w as well. Well done to all concerned. Look forward to the next Siphon Diagram!!!

Excellent - Goes well with my rake of Royal Mail Mk1's.
Only issue was one of the brackets was broken off on one of the connecting corridors. It had not broken during transit as it was not in the box. Quality issue from the factory!

Really swept away by these, puts the opposition to shame who are still trying to peddle ancient tooling models.

An incredible model to add to our layout. It immediately raises the required standard of any stock to run with it, and will only require some light weathering to hopefully emphasize the detail. The date printed on the right hand bogie can only be read under extreme magnification - a surprising discovery - excellent!

My clearly failing memory led me to pre-order twice - exactly the same model! Anyway, as I’m reviewing the Siphon G for Model Rail magazine - and it’s the first Accurascale model I’ve reviewed, I’m afraid I must ask you to wait for comment. (CJL)

I am very pleased with this model of a characteristic GWR van that had a wide application spanning many years. The unusual roof profile is spot on. And I particularly like the restrained spacing between the vertical planks. All the underframe detail and correct design bogies are well executed. My only reservation (not a complaint) is the NEM couplings. It's nice that we have a magnetic option supplied with this model. Possibly the model trade might consider producing a fine-scale NEM that allows for much closer coupling, albeit the models could then only be used on large radius curves.
