Scorte limitate
Descrizione dettagliata
Descrizione dettagliata
Questa Austerity fu un altro prodotto bellico, questa volta proveniente dalla fonderia Vulcan di Newton-le-Willows. Fu completata nel 1945 e le fu assegnato il numero di servizio 75310. Dopo il servizio militare, la locomotiva fu acquistata dall'NCB e assegnata all'area numero 6, North West Durham. Una particolarità di quest'area sono le cabine di guida ridotte su tutte le locomotive, per consentire il transito nella galleria di accesso al deposito di carbone di Lambton nel porto di Sunderland. Un'altra caratteristica minore di questa locomotiva era lo spostamento degli iniettori sopra la piastra di rotolamento, davanti alla cabina. Entrambe queste caratteristiche sono fedelmente ricreate sul modello.

An absolutely stunning model , full of detail . The detail in the cab has been done to perfection. I volunteer at Aly Valley Railway where we have No60 which is No59’s twin and also No48 which has the square cab . Accurascale have done a beautiful job to capture the differences in stunning detail.
Another 5star addition to my collection .
Third of four that Ive bought and im liking the difference in cab designs. This NCB version will look right at home in my colliery area
Straight out of the box the loco ran smoothly and has been able to pull any wagon load I give it. Many colourful liveries to choose but I went for the NCB black because of the curved cab roof and it makes the loco stand out from the other tank engines in my collection.
A wonderful model and another great job from Accurascale.
This is a fantastic model with amazing detail, and good running characeristics at both low speed and at higher speed.
Thank you Accurascale for another great model
A beautiful model but it took about 45 minutes to get it to run on the rolling road. It seems that the mechanism had stuck. I had to give it more power than I would like to get it started but it now runs very well.
Parcel was perfect and item was in Perfect working condition
Another brilliant model from Accurascale, this locos cab was altered by the NCB to work thru tunnels leading to the Lambton coal staithes on the banks of the Wear Sunderland which had restricted clearances explaining the need for the altered cab.
Model is absolutely spot on, and it’s got novel potential because NCB coal trains had running right on the BR line from Penshaw to Sunderland to reach the Lambton drops, part of the trackage is now part of the Tyne and Wear Metro system. The NCB coal trains consisted of brake van and various wagons of different types of former NER and LNER vintage. The loco is well finished livery wise and is the best ready to run model of these incredible locomotives with a long service in industrial use well into the 1970s.
What can I add to this superb model. Well done again Accurascale, my 2nd addition of this type.
A very good model, detailing is excellent. The blackhead is very well done. A good heavy model. A little noisy until some light oil was applied to the axles, the model is now a very quiet runner. The model really captures the real loco. An all round excellent model. Well done to Accurascale.
Just received the model and this is the best austerity to date. Smooth running from the box and great at low speeds. The only very minor thing is the clear coupling fitted which looks even more plasticky. That can always be changed. Thank you Accurascale for a great model.
