Detailed Description
8763. British Railways Lined black livery, with Early Emblem
This locomotive was built at Swindon in 1933 and allocated to Old Oak Common where it spent its entire working life. By the early 1950s many panniers were fitted with top feed boilers. In contrast to the more common plain black livery, 8763 was treated to full mixed traffic lining as its duties included working empty coaching stock in and out of London Paddington. It was withdrawn in 1962.
Features: Top feed boiler, 8750 style cab, Bunker steps fitted, Injector overflow routed outside running plate.

This model does everything I’d expect a model to do!
Shunting? YES!
Slow speed? YES!
Sound quality? Pretty good! (Much more presence on the layout than the Manor)
Haulage? 8 MK1 coaches not a problem!
Accurascale have certainly done an amazing job in capturing the pannier tank and doing so many variations, it gives you a lot of choice and not just a different livery.
We purchased 3 locomotives and they all have unique features beyond the livery that gives the model so much more depth than you first realise.
I couldn’t be happier with these models!
Price point is excellent and allows people to own a high quality model at a sensible price!
Hat off to Accurascale
Lets start by saying its absolutely great - but if feedback helps to improve future models then just saying how good it is helps no one! The model itself is externally beautiful and highly detailed. My only sadness was the fixed metal coal load - which surprised me after the move to pushing real coal loads with the Buck jumpers. Having the choice to easily remove would have been a bonus. Runs smoothly and well straight out of the box. I was missing part of the detail pack - but Accurascale say they will sort this. The main reason for only 4 stars is the sound, which compared to other sound panniers on the market and post purchase independent sound projects I did find a little disappointing. I may be tainted as the Buckjumpers were my first steam loco from Accurascale and they blew me away - so much I bought a second one! I expected with all the hype this to be as stunning, but sadly not quite. That's always the problem - when you set your own bar so very high, all future projects (that can be excellent compared to other manufacturers) need to be as good or better as your last. But, as stated, still a very good model. NB..... turns out the speakers were faulty! That explains the poor sound.Now rectified and sounds lovely.
This was bought for me by my partner as a birthday gift. I said I did not need any more trains for my lay out but I am so pleased with this one. Sound so clear and a great little model. Thank you.
I received my order on time it’s a great looking model and the details are superb. Thank you. M Blackburn
A real beauty. The loco looks really good. The sound is superb and the running excellent. The speed range is great and the slow speed operation allows very precise positioning to couple up and shunt nicely Its a super addition to my collection
Love this locomotive. So much detail and smoothoperation straight out of the box. Looks great on my layout and so much better than other makes of Pannier tank models available. Particularly like the firebox glow and cab detail.
Beautifully presented, and the loco performs very well. I had to wait until today to try the DCC sound and driving.
Delivered quickly, great model and the detail is something else. Ran straight out of the box with no issues. This is my second model and enjoying it.
This is the GWR pannier I have been waiting for - I very tidy model indeed. I'm pleased that I bought three before they sold out. The build quality and level of detail follows in the tradition that we have come to expect of Accurascale models.
I testedthem last Tuesday. I hattounle with all three 7715 would not run. The other two eventually but stuttered. When their Numbers were entered they would not work
Hi accurascale you have done it again i am over the moon with this locomotive it runs very well out of the box the sounds are fantastic every part of it put together great well done 👏
My third Accurascale locomotive - first two outstanding but unfortunately this 8750 pannier is a great disappointment.
Excellent model but poor runner out of the box - gave full running in but stutters and stops especially over points making it look like the pick-ups are poor or the stay alive isn’t working well.
Tried to contact Accurascale support three times so far with no luck - really want this model to work or get exchange but customer service seems disappointing making me doubt further Accurascale purchases.
This model arrived as usual well packed it took about a week to arrive so that's good.
So on the pannier it is a well detailed model as you come to expect from Accurascale, it is very close to perfection as far a i can see, no faults exquisite lining shed plates and numbering, the sound is excellent i can't really find anything wrong it ran strait from the box with no hesitation at all.
So keep it up
Well, was the wait worth it? Of course it was! These Panniers are absolutley superb, and can say it was worth the time it took to get them right. The detail is first class, and even in the cab it stands out to the same standards as out. I'm glad I went for the sound fitted version, as this too is spot on. Would I recommend others to get one? I would straight away. Glad I got this, and the model of L94!
