58001 was formally handed over to BR on 9th December 1982. It was very much a prototype, although the following members of the class were already under construction and, as such, incorporated some features that would later be changed. Possibly most notable was the roof silencer, this being of the narrow type. Other differences were less apparent, such as the different angles on the back of the cab side sheet and the lack of a moisture trap/filter on the air brake pipework.

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as ACCURASCALE LTD, number 12251078. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Not yet checked.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
Foreign-owned
Majority ownership sits in Ireland, with Irish Railway Models Limited. Companies House.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
