6700 Class - 6743 - Verde Great Western

Lovely well detailed model that after a slightly stiff start on the rolling road has become very smooth.
No loose or detached parts.
Minor observation on the availability of DCC chips. Appears a long wait after the loco has arrived for the pre ordered decoder to become available. In the overall scheme a minor frustration on getting this loco on the track.

Yet another stunner from Accurascale. Beautiful model that runs like a dream.

Its nice to have a correctly detailed 67XX. Not just a 57xx, 77xx moulding with a 67xx number on it. Great finish with crisp lettering and numbers. Very intricately detailed cab. Runs very quietly and smoothly straight from the box. I am really pleased with this model.

Very nice loco. Smooth runner, fantastic detail and easy to DCC chip. This will look great on a branch goods.

A definite step up from the Bachmann version, although it does demonstrate how good the Bachmann one actually is (and was superb for its time).

This model was a beautifully smooth runner right from the outset, although hesitant over turnouts - the pick up strips were not bearing on the backs of the wheels very well, so I had to remove the keeper plate and bend them out slightly to make proper contact, after which there were no problems.

Good that the ‘coal’ load can be removed easily (by removing screws under the rear end) so that real coal can be andded and represent a partially filled bunker.

A shame that the front buffers will not fully depress because their tails strike the sand boxes under the footplate - possibly not a problem to many, but I use three link couplings so working buffers are important.

The only other comment that I would make is that the ‘join’ in the chimney sections are too visible but I am sure that could be improved for future production runs.

Overall it is an excellent representation of the prototype with much finesse of detail and a pleasing finish to the paintwork. Looking forward to more being produced in the future!

Thanks Accurascale for making my Christmas. What a beautiful model. Ran smoothly straight from the box. Incredible detail and inspite of delays by the courier, speedy delivery.

Arrived earlier than I thought it would, gave it the first run out today. Excellent runner and perfectly detailed.
I currently run on dc, and it's awesome to see the Firefox glow.
Long wait, but we'll done Accurascale!

Excellent model.
