Accurascale 55003 Meld is a 1:76.2 (OO gauge) model of the British Rail Class 55 “Deltic” diesel locomotive, presented in pristine blue livery with the running number 55003. The locomotive was originally built between 1961 and 1962, of which 22 were produced for British Rail, and the model represents the TOPS “BR Blue” period.

The kit includes a die‑cast alloy metal chassis and a five‑pole motor with twin flywheels, a metal helical gearbox and all‑wheel drive, allowing a scale top speed of 120 mph (193 km/h). It is supplied with a 21‑pin MTX socket and factory‑fitted DCC sound, complete with two quality speakers and large sound capsules. The model also features a PowerPack capacitor for uninterrupted power, correct‑height mini‑tension‑lock couplers with NEM socket, and fully sprung metal buffers.

Lighting is fully detailed, offering directional lighting, DC and DCC‑controlled marker lights, a high‑intensity headlight where applicable, and separately switched cab illumination that automatically switches off when the locomotive moves. Additional interior lighting includes engine‑bay and driver‑console lights.

The locomotive is equipped with NEM plus tension‑lock couplings, a minimum radius curve of 438 mm (second radius set‑track), cast bogies, and a range of etched metal and high‑fidelity plastic details such as grab handles, steps, wipers, nameplates and crests. Wheels are RP25‑110 OO gauge with provision for re‑gauging to P4 and EM gauge.

Manufacturer part number: ACC2153D9003DCC. The model is suitable for run‑throughs on layouts featuring British Rail blue “TOPS” liveries and offers a highly accurate representation of the original Class 55 in both appearance and operation.
