Accurascale announces the Class 50, the third and final member of their iconic English Electric (EE) six-axle trio that began with the Class 55 in 2018 and the Class 37 in 2019. With their award-winning ‘Deltic’ now in customers’ hands and the first of the much anticipated Type 3s due to leave our factory in the coming weeks, it is now time to reveal the full details of the next classic main line locomotive to join their growing roster.

The Model:

The Accurascale Class 50 is the culmination of over three years of development that began with a 3D laser scan of No. 50017 at the Great Central Railway in 2019. Building on Accurascale’s growing range of diesel and electric locomotives, the EE Type 4 features their most impressive specification yet, with Accurascale’s ground shaking twin-speaker set up, working radiator fan, flange squeal sensor, full lighting package that includes preservation era oddballs, engine room and cab lighting with auto off feature and eight cab configurations with illuminated driver’s control desk.

The Class 50 Alliance also graciously allowed Accurascale to visit their fleet based at Kidderminster Diesel Depot on the Severn Valley Railway on several occasions, even raising No. 50044 on jacks to allow the Accurascale research team unprecedented access to the underframe! The full gamut of changes experienced by this class have been included on Accurascale’s extensive tooling suite to create the definitive Class 50, including optional multiple working equipment, missing handrails on D400, original headcode or plated with marker lights or sealed beam lights, no headlight, blanked headlight and headlight, wind deflectors, sandbox fillers, ‘grilled’ windows on refurbished locomotives (including the first pair which retained the window grommit for several years), early or late cast bogies, dynamic brakes, roof scavenger port, NRN or GSM-R radio equipment/fittings, seven- or 12-blade radiator fan and roof walkways.
