Got to agree, surely the best ready to run diesel yet… Cheers John b 😃

Thanks for watching Andy, always appreciated. The Cavalex 56 is probably the best RTR loco I own, I prefer 37s in real life & I do love the Accurascale models. I think the sound just edges it for me with the 56🤔 Looking forward to the 60s coming out, although I’m not the biggest fan of the real life machines (can I say that!? I know I’m probably in the minority) Cheers John b😎

I’m not sure? I got them from my LMS second hand…I’ll have a look next time I’m up the loft

Oh that’s not good, are you on about a factory fitted one or third party chip?

@@colwichjunction3366 it’s the factory fitted one. Had it reblown and it’s fantastic now

Still got to get round to making the coal loads though, can’t have a train with some empty, some full! I’ve already had that pointed out to me. Christ me I hope no one noticed that the 56 is going the wrong way down the line as well🫣😆

@@colwichjunction3366I’ve gone back and fixed my typo so now it reads proper 😆 Ah mate no coal? Disgusting I’d throw em straight away, into my pockets 😆👍

I think the container wagons are Dapol….ive put so much grime on them I can’t tell 🤣

Thanks for taking a look👍

Yes it certainly is, the benchmark for all others to match or beat? I can’t wait to get another one! Cheers Darrell👍

I think I might have to order another, the detailing of working fans is just another level too. Thanks for watching & commenting👍 Cheers John b😎

​@@colwichjunction3366Cheers John think Rainbow railways north of the border as some left! Also pre ordered 56105 Colas from Rails of Sheffield, thirty pounds deposit seals it.

Yeah I tend to agree with you. The sound is amazing, mine has a sound chip & speaker from Roads_and_Rails as I missed out on the factory fitted version. I have a 60 on pre-order from Cavalex, but not one from Accurascale… I am probably in the minority, but 60s aren’t really my thing, don’t know why? I’m definitely looking forward to the model though👍 Thanks for watching John b😎

Hi, I think it’s meant to be GWR green, the loco was or might still be resident at Long Rock depot Penzance. I got it second hand the only reason being, because I like the colour! The real loco looks like it is kept in a better condition than mine! Cheers John b 😎

Thanks so much for taking a look. Unfortunately since I posted the last video I don’t think I’ve had time to even get up into the loft to run trains or do anything on the layout. That’s life I guess🤷‍♂️ Cheers John b 😎

Thanks for stopping by to take a look. There’s plenty still to do & I’ve recently been distracted by O gauge which isn’t helping! Cheers John b 🥸

Thanks for taking a look, I get most of my ideas from watching other channels along with my daily dog walk along the canal which runs alongside WCML. I’ve still got one end of the layout that needs to be completed, so there’s lots of work to do. Cheers John b 😎

Hi The gantries are from @scalemodelscenery & the registration stems are from Dapol - I combine the two kits to make the overheads⚡️ Hope that helps John b 😎

Thank you very much. ❤

Ah Portugal 🇵🇹 my second team!!! ⚽️ Thankyou for taking a look at the railway, glad you like the layout. Cheers John b😎

@@colwichjunction3366 oh yeah.

@@colwichjunction3366 your model trains are amazing.

@@colwichjunction3366 in Portugal, we have diesel-electric locomotives that have the same engine sound and thrash as the Class 20s: the CP 1400s.

Yeah I’m sure I’ve seen them on my Instagram account👍

Hello Duncan thanks for taking a look 👀 Sorry I’m a little late getting back to you I’ve been off grid for a couple of days, covid really has knocked me off track, so to say! Fair play to 00Dave for adding a much needed injection of humour to the hobby (especially the RUclips side of it) although I love the serious modelling side of things, it doesn’t hurt to be a bit daft now & then. Cheers John b 🤒🤧

Oops looks like I missed replying to you! Thanks for stopping by and taking a look at the layout. Ladder man is definitely in demand in the modelrailway world now, he’s getting a reputation for quite a few different reasons😆 He hasn’t been seen round here since the video was shot and he was captured lineside checking out my wagons! Hopefully he’ll get round and sort your shed out soon! Cheers John b 😎

Mega rare, my mates farm had one we shared it when we passed car tests, nowt like turning up to a village show dance in White jeans getting out of a farm mini pick up 🤣

😆keep an eye on your delivery date, not sure what that Ladderman is upto? I think he’s out scouting to see wether there’s anything going spare… That will be a nice box to open when you get back home, hopefully you won’t be disappointed, have you gone for a sound fitted version?

Yeah got my email to say it’s on its way so I’ll be checking cctv at home to keep an eye out for ladder man intercepting my delivery 😅 it’s the prostrate cancer gbrf sound fitted, 7/8 of my hattons 66’s are sound fitted with a few different sound files and looking forward to seeing how this one compares to an already awesome sound 😃👍

@darrelldeltic807 - you will be the one to compare the sound file then! I started 5/6 locos up the other day & the noise was pretty loud…dare you start all of your 66s up at once!? That I’d like to hear🔊👍

@@colwichjunction3366 might just have to do that John 🤣😊👍

You guys are brave talking about postal deliveries - he’s got contacts you know on the inside 😄

Thanks for saying, I always say the bits I show on here are ok…. Some of the bits you don’t see aren’t 🤣 Cheers John b😎

Yeah Ambrosia, it all links in! I’ve enjoyed (if that’s the right word) having a few moments spare to run a few trains in isolation. The sound file in the new loco is really good, the 37s & the Cavalex 56 are all superb sounding machines, not really sure which one is top for me??? I’ve just returned to work after the latest bout of COVID, but I’ll be honest my energy levels aren’t great. It’s definitely here to stay unfortunately, I test when I’m not feeling well as my Dad is 91 & I do shopping & stuff for him so I’ve got to be careful. Anyway thanks for commenting & glad you enjoyed the running shots👍 Cheers John b🤒

Yes he’s certainly taking the model Railway world by stealth! 😆 Cheers John b😆

Me too, pity they’ve announced another 60 after Cavalex have already committed… I’ll be honest I’ve never been a massive fan of the 60, but I’m slowly warming to them. There’s a Cavalex one on preorder, and I’m sure I’ll be tempted by Accurascale as well. There’s a great line up of liveries, I fancy Coal Sector for my HAA’s Thanks for watching & getting in touch👍 Cheers John b😎

Mmmmmm the bank balance does keep taking hits! It’s quite an addictive hobby isn’t it, I do have to stop myself buying some of the new steam releases, although I’m not a fan of Hornby the 2MT looks stunning & apart from the gimmicky lights, the black five looks pretty good too🤔

Hi Tim, yeah there are a couple of bits that need to be treated with care. It’s a lot easier to deal with than the previous Hattons version though. I’m very pleased with it out of the box too, I’m planning to give it a bit of weathering next, nothing too heavy though. I hope your full on run went without any problems 👍 Cheers John b 😎

Was it semi Yorkshire or Welsh/indian, I can’t tell! I just sound rough as…. I was hoping a custard tank might have appeared on the layout, but I haven’t seen one yet! I must get round to doing that layout tour, although I’d love to rip all the fiddle yard out! Because that’s what it is, a bloody fiddle everytime I use it!!!!😡 Thanks for watching I’m off to practice that deception technique you were on about. Cheers John b🤧

Better get a full check done on all your rolling stock, John. Especially if any were carrying Dylington Custard, he's got form on that score. Him and his mate Dodgy Old Dave, from taking the Liberty Junction. Great video, with some well decent locos. I hope you shake off the covid soon, I'm not a fan of covid. It floored me just after the first lockdown and put me in hospital, horrible. Anyway, another enjoyable video ...cheers James 😁👍

He’s like some kind of modern world phenomenon that ladderman! I think Accurascale have so many models to get shipped, no wonder! The sound fitted Hattons Original is impressive, this sounds perfect as far as I can tell. Thanks for watching & commenting👍 John b🤧

No, non so far. I’ve currently got 6 Accurascale 37s - 1 class 92 a manor & now this class 66 no issues with any of them. I have heard some have had issues with particular models, but to buy three & have them all fail seems unlucky…. Cheers John b😎

Got to love a 37! Thanks for watching Cheers John b😎

They did release some spare stock earlier 🏧💷💷💷

I wish they had produced a BR blue large logo livery model. 😔

@@StormmyStormmyme too pal I would have had to buy one of those no questions asked!

Well worth the wait I think👍

I may have accidentally ordered another one, Not a problem, I’ve been in touch with the donor clinic to see which organ they would like from me⚠️😳😆

​@@colwichjunction3366haha 😂😂👍👍

I’m sure you won’t be disappointed, they’ve done it again I reckon! 👍🔊

It does change revs when idling, during these running shots I was messing about with the drive hold function & notching it up & down, so it may not sound quite right for the speeds… I hear the real things pass here everyday, sometimes they’re held at a red short of the junction, so when they do a standing start with a full train it can be impressive 🔊

Which ones have you gone for Andy? 😊

@darrelldeltic807 hi Darrell the orange freightliner and prostrate cancer gbrf

@@moorlandmodelrailwayandynice! Same 👍 but got hattons in freightliner orange 😃

​@@moorlandmodelrailwayandyVery nice the two limited Accurascale ones, i have 001as i couldn't wait for this batch to arrive, totally impatient!

They’ve just released some more on the website!!! Selling fast though 🟢🟡⭐️

Not too overpowering like the Hattons one I’ve got, the whole loft shakes when I run that one!!!🤣

​​@@colwichjunction3366really overpowering and far toi bass for me, this is the definitive sound to date.

@@colwichjunction3366🤣🤣 yeah I know what you mean, the hattons 66’s are one of my favourite sounding locos 😃👍

@@colwichjunction3366 I love the powerful sound of the Hatton’s 66, I wish this model had the same power, just my opinion by the way.

Don’t mention large logo! Too late, I need one now you’ve mentioned it🤣 Cheers John b🤒

@@colwichjunction3366 I’m not sure what other liveries are left of this cool looking loco, I guess we will see in the potential second run in a few years, I forgot that the sister company has runs to complete as well, my fingers are still crossed that we will see an HST from them in a few years and maybe even a class 08 or even a class 73 or 58.

Me too mate! At least this one’s paid for on a pre-order. I’ve got another, yes another 37 on the books too, why do I need another??? The Colas one….., so yes it’s needed, perhaps you could have a word with your new mate Richard see if he could pas one over my way. I think I’ve spent enough at Accurascale to warrant a freebie😉👍 I’ll be honest I do like 66s (good job as there’s so many of the buggers running past where I live), but they ain’t a 37 are they? Cheers John b🤒

😁🤭😁 hope Richard comes through for me! you got the accurascale one? (Colas) I need wagons and all sorts but I’m hopefully at the end of the skintness!

@doubleodave - I’ve got the colas on preorder….the older Bachmann version isn’t bad either🤔

@@colwichjunction3366 I really like the Bachmann - they just need better speakers and they’d be on par to me 👍

Hello again Chris It’s all bashed up out of Scalemodelscenery kits & the Dapol OHLE masts, these can be cut up & modified quite easily - plain old super glue does a really good job of holding any mods together. The paint I’ve used is by a brand called “Testors”, not sure if you can get them in the U.K.? I travel to the U.S quite a lot & pick them up when I’m over there…The colour is Aluminium, it’s an enamel paint. Good stuff if you can get it, although I bet there are other U.K. manufacturers that do something similar. The verde effect on the registration arms is from a (Posca) felt tip pen! The older type of WCML here at the real Colwich has all gone this colour. I’ve pretty much made it up as I go along… The other end of the layout needs doing, so far I haven’t looked at the new Westhill Wagon Works OHLE I’ve heard it’s good⚡️if not expensive compared to my kit bashed versions. Thanks for watching, hope that helps👍 Cheers John b🤒

Thankfully I don’t have either of those models, so I’ll leave that to someone else….👍

Thanks for the reply👍 I’m going to check it out right now! Cheers John b 🤒

​​@@colwichjunction3366cheers John hope your getting another one!

I’d love another, but funds may not allow at the moment…there’s too many to choose from anyway🤣👍

Seems really good from first impressions👍

@@colwichjunction3366 I'll bet it can pull a few Dylington Custard tankers 😁👍

I’m sure it could! 🤣

@@colwichjunction3366 I thought so 😁👍

……now where’s Ladderman got too? 🤔

Yeah I’ve got a couple of the Hattons 66s & they’re fine models indeed. This new one runs beautifully straight out of the box, I just think it’ll need a little bit of grime adding to the roof & underframe. The DRS 66s that pass through Colwich are always pretty clean, not as clean as the Red Schenker Sheds though! 😁🔴

@@colwichjunction3366 😆 nice one ! Think just a bit of light weathering to take the shiny new look will be perfect 👌

Thanks Stuart, I don’t really like that side of the layout too much, so it doesn’t really feature… Glad you liked it though👍 Cheers John b 😎

Oh who ever decided to give model locomotives sound Anthony!? It’s costing me a small fortune! Thanks for tuning in & I hope you are all well 👍 John b😎
