As usual from Accurascale, this is an excellent loco. My layout is firmly set in England but "Rule 1" very much applies here so it can run alongside my BR stock, the Blue NIR livery with yellow panels doesn't look too out of place. The model runs very smoothly and the sound is fantastic, rather like a BR Class 20 as the Hunslets were fitted with a very similar engine.
My model arrived with a loose battery box and one of the bogie handbrake chains was detached, but these were easy to fix. I thought that the high-level vacuum pipe was missing from the #1 end, but from reading the comprehensive booklet supplied, the prototype was only fitted at the #2 end so the model is indeed correct. All in all another great Accurascale loco for my collection
