5 stars - the best model out there?

Wow. The attention to detail on this model is exquisite. Naturally, when Accurascale announced the GWR Manor project, I had to get one. This is my first Accurascale product, and was 100% the right decision to make. Having seen the detail previous Accurascale models had to offer, I had to pick AC over Dapol. Chuffed to bits (sorry) with my model of Granville Manor, she's a beauty to run. Looking forward to my next Accurascale purchase, whatever AC can tempt me with for a GWR West Wales Cambrian based layout. Thanks to everyone who's part of the Accurascale team. Keep up the superb work.

A very Grand Grandville!

I really should have bought earlier as I then missed out on a lined livery. However since finding a matching period rake of coaches Granville Manor is a perfect companion. Haven't had a chance to run the loco as yet but am confident it will be fine. The livery even without lining is beautifully applied and the whole thing has an air of unmatched quality. I'm not a rivet counter so can't opine on relative levels of accuracy between it and Dapol's version but safe to say it impresses me visually no end. Another grand Accurascale purchase . Looking forward now to the Panniers.

Beautiful model of the Manor. Personally I'm not in favour of the firebox glow which is dazzling but that's just me. It would not generally be seen on the real thing only being open during coaling. It also hesitates slightly on some of the points where others do not. On the whole a fine addition to my steam roster.

Manor of excellence

After receiving class 37s and 55s from Accurascale I knew the quality would be evident, and it is.
Exceptional quality and smooth running, this loco and company don’t disappoint.
Buy with confidence.

Excellent loco Granville Manor .Fantastic detail excellent finish runs very smooth at all speeds.the only tiny problem is a part of the copper under the lip of the chimney. Is missing.
Does not spoil the model which is absolutely fantastic.
