Reviews
Wow. What a beautiful locomotive. Proud owner of several Accurascale 50s but HOOD is by far my favourite. Superb attention to details, with a Glorious livery. Here’s hoping for some more fifty fund
specials.
What a cracking model Hood is so many extra little details that sets this locomotive apart from the rest.
What a fantastic model, got a few of the Accurascale 50s, but 50031 has always been mu favourite loco and in this livery is how I remember her and photographed her, especially on her first run after the repaint and re-dedication in 1991. The model just looks fabulous, the detail and accuracy is spot on, and it sounds awesome, with a wide range of sound and lighting features. Undoubtedly the best ever Class 50 model.
Excellent model, looks fantastic
