Accurascale has released a OO scale model of the Class 55 Deltic diesel locomotive, D9018 'Ballymoss'. The model is depicted in BR green livery with a late crest. It is a highly detailed representation of the locomotive, with features such as a die-cast alloy metal chassis and separately applied etched metal and high fidelity plastic detail parts.

The model is DCC ready, with a 21-pin MTX socket, and can be fitted with a factory-installed DCC sound system. The locomotive is equipped with a five-pole motor and helical gearbox, allowing it to achieve a scale top speed of 120 mph. The model also features all-wheel drive and all-wheel pickup, as well as a fully detailed lighting pack.

The locomotive is based on the original BR Class 55 design, built by English Electric and Vulcan Foundry between 1961 and 1962. The model features a range of period-specific details, including bogies, horn positions, exhaust ports, headcode panels, windscreen wipers, and cab side windows. The model also includes a range of separately applied details, such as grab handles, steps, wipers, nameplates, and crests.

The model requires a minimum radius curve of 2nd Radius Set-track, which is equivalent to 438mm. It is suitable for use with OO gauge track and can be easily adapted to p4 and EM gauge using the provided wheels. The model is a highly detailed and accurate representation of the classic Deltic diesel locomotive, making it a great addition to any model railway layout.
