TransPennine Express Mk5a Pacote 2

Quick check and test of my TPE MK5s. Then carefully re-wrapping and packed away, to find the lights still on after over five minutes is something else😎 Electrifyingly, good! Must have the largest capacitors in the model railway world….

Very happy with my new set of TP Mk5s, very impressed with the detail and top marks for the quality of the packaging also

Wow very impressive detail
Top notch stuff these

Excellent set of coaches at the right price as well, detail and colour is spot on. Have to agree with a few other people about dcc, I can not get the cab light to work at all, had no problem taking body off. Head and tail lights could do to be a bit brighter. Looking forward to the MK2 I have on order and look forward to seeing some MK3 coaches one day soon.

I’m sure this review is going to Echo what has already been mentioned but deservedly so…

These models have captured the look of the Prototype(s) perfectly with the detail being second to none ( both in terms livery application and detail).

Nice easy to follow instructions allow the fitting of a DCC chip to be a nice relatively easy operation, however extreme care must be taken in the removal and replacement of the body shell (especially in regards to the cab steps as then go around the damper assembly of the bogie) as is covered within the instructions sheet.

Destination blinds are easy to fit ( a handy online guide is available through the support pages).

One very minor negative was that on one coach, a axle box cover was missing, A quick email to support was answered within 10minutes and when spares are in stock one will be sent across.

A fantastic model with unbeatable customer service…

Just reviewed the TPE Rake of Carriages and gave it a very high rating.

Thought I would add that this about the tenth item purchased from Accurascale and they just keep turning out masterpieces.

Loved the Deltics and they are now doing a second production run so I’ve ordered an extra. Accurascale clearly listen as they are improving the ‘brake chain’ fixing which was a bit of a pain on the first run.

And customer service - exemplary. Every email is answered quickly and courteously and nothing is left unanswered.

Their web site is accurate and has useful downloads for technical questions.

Met the some of guys at The Warley
Show last year ave they were a great bunch.

Waiting with excitement for the Class 30s and 50s next.

Will follow with greatest interest.

Thank you

My only slight disappointment with these otherwise excellent coaches is the way the DT operates on DCC. There is insufficient information about what function controls are in the PCB. The DT has leading and trailing lights and it looks to also have a cab light which is separate to the carriage lighting. If Aux 1 is F1 on a DCC set up it means the cab lights will always be on with any sound loco. I had hoped that the magnetic wand feature might have been used to operate between red tail and white leading avoiding the need for a decoder, perhaps ditto the cab light using reed switches. It is a small point and given the purchase price the coaches are very well received and a delight

Great value for money and well engineered free funning coaches that are a delight to run behind a class 68. I am really impressed with the magnetic couplings

Fantastic detail, great model. Pleasure to run.

Excellent attention to detail and superb detailing both inside and out. Raising the standards👍

Great model

Wet good mk5 coaches

Superb model
Brilliant set of coaches

Stunning models

A wonderful pack of Mk5 coaches, fills a nice niche in the OO Passenger market.

An absolute stunning model. So much detail and the livery is superb. Runs really well. Another well done to the Accurascale team.

Brilliantly detailed models. Great value. Great service.

I thought the Sleepers would keep top spot but on opening these I'm not so sure. These are excellent. If I had any issue it would be that I wish there had been an option to purchase a DCC fitted version. Perhaps noting the comments from others who've had grief decoder fitting, Accurascale might offer this as an option on future runs.

Love the colours and the detail - just waiting for a decent amount of track to be laid on my layout under construction to able to run the complete rake.

I had sky high expectations for these coaches and I can firmly say that Accurascale have exceeded them. These look the absolute business on my layout and run like a dream.

bought both packs of transpennine mk5 coaches and both are great inc the driving car, which looks spot on. i also think they are fantastic value for money compared with current prices. well done, im very happy with them and have had both sets running round with 68s

Absolutely lovely set of coaches with so many plus points. A tricky livery captured very well, comprehensive light package covering all options, details picked out well and correct and packaging fit fit such an impressive rake. The outer box artwork is very nice.
All in I could not be happier, price, quality, finish, technology, support and aesthetics are all top notch.

The TPE mark 5 loco hauled carraigies came as a big surprise when they were announced, after all the multiple unit traction for passenger service introduced in recent times, and they did look appealing when revealed. Now you too can have the perfect carraige set for a class 68 to haul and model these trains to perfection!

Such a great model. Love all the detail that is packed into such a unique looking model. Like everything Accurascale does it is top class.

Spot on , a great job , worth the wait , thank you !!

Very delighted with the product
