FEATURES INCLUDE

The new family of shunters is engineered for supreme shunting performance, integrating the cutting-edge technology Accurascale has become renowned for:

Coreless Motor & Gearing: A high-quality, large diameter coreless motor paired with a helical gearbox is designed for extreme slow speed running capability and smooth power delivery, achieving realistic shunting speeds.
Stay-Alive Technology: Every unit will be fitted with a PowerPack/Stay-Alive capacitor for uninterrupted running, essential for reliable operation over points and crossings.
Sound and Lighting: The models will be DCC Sound Fitted with the ESU LokSound 5 decoder, permanently fitted with twin 'sugar cube' speakers, and featuring a full sound suite with different engine type options (including the Class 10's unique sound).
Directional Lighting: Full directional fibre optic and LED lighting, with extensive light options including marker lights, high-intensity lights, flashing beacons, and separate cab lighting configurations.
Detail and Build: Die-cast metal chassis and underframe for maximum weight and tractive effort, ABS body and cab with separate metal/wire detailing, and era-specific tooling covering differing cab types, doors, and buffer beams.

VARIATIONS INCLUDE:

The "Accuragronk" range is set to deliver interesting and historically significant variants never before produced in ready-to-run models:

The Standard Class 08: The ubiquitous British Rail shunter, available in a huge variety of liveries and eras. This tooling includes all sorts of specific details even including the later LED light modifications for the first time in OO.
The Class 10: An oft-forgotten variant, featuring the distinct thrash of the Blackstone power unit and GEC electrical gear. Accurascale’s model will be the first ready-to-run release to capture the unique sound of these ‘Non-Standard’ units.
The Class 08/9 Low-Profile Shunter: A fascinating chapter of BR history. These conversions were specially engineered at Landore Depot in 1986 to operate on the height-restricted Burry Port & Gwendraeth Valley (BP&GV) line in Wales. The model accurately recreates the dramatically lowered cab roof and bonnet profile of these characterful machines, which later escaped the Welsh Valleys under EWS ownership and could be found in diverse locations such as Doncaster and Westbury.
