So long hill of despair.... I'm gonna miss that bitch!

Those two are a massive contrast to the Hornby 66 I used to own. It was one of the more recent releases, which were essentially just the rather basic ex-Lima tolling redressed in loads of different liveries (and most of them had the wrong headlight clusters as a result, including mine). These days, the nearest thing I've got to a 66 in my collection is a Class 59 (made by Dapol), but I'd still love to get a better 66 model at some point.

RYAN IS THAT YOU

Fantastic ive watch it a few times now Very smart livery almost gnr

Its a 100 dollar loco.that might be pushin it.

Hi again Hylt. The DP1 really was the "King of Diesels". I understand why they were never a serious proposition for the WCML, but the decision by the Midland Region to opt for the Peaks instead is a little weird. The model is very impressive. Bachmann consistently offer top quality diesels, but at a top dollar price. Hopefully, Accurascale will keep the pressure on. I very much like your new incline: sweeping curve gradients are very prototypical. One point to think about: almost all RTR locos these days are designed to negotiate 2nd radius curves, and their manufacturers certify that they will. So, in order to test new locos thoroughly, it may be a good idea to have at least 1 2nd radius section. As for coach configurations, the main point is to have a brake coach at the rear, and another next to the loco (if you have two). Multiple brake coaches can be added to either end, and this would be prototypical. Having said that, it wasn't unknown for 1 or 2 non-brakes to be added to the ends of rakes during times of high demand. Also, trains that were split during mid-journey would carry a brake coach or two at the point where they would be separated. Fellow RUclipsr Yarslow has a very informative video on the subject. Stay safe & see you soon in YT-land!

Nice review of a top quality model, Accurascale really are doing a fantastic job of shaking up the market. I enjoyed everything about the video apart from the slightly irritating background music when you were demonstrating the sound files

Good memories that 😊

What a beaut!

Sounds good . Distillery’s need water so beside a Loch is quite prototypical . The only thing I would say with having three platforms your station isn’t going to look very West Highland ish . By the way Peco have a series of laser cut West Highland buildings , I think including one based on Rannoch . There is also one for a normal platform , as opposed to an island platform and both platform and normal signal boxes . They just ooze West Highland character .

I believe Jenny Kirk does a video on fitting a Sound HM7000 to this, very little work in doing it… I’m currently debating this or waiting for the hornby one, so this is a good video,

Nice loco and thanks for your good review. I recently purchased a DP1 with Sound from Locomotion Models. It has a tad darker blue and also darker grey roof than this one. It says it is a preserved condition Deltic. Fortunately I was exempt from £50 VAT in Australia ! At one end my traindoctor has attached a red strike plate and bufferbeam details leaving the NEM coupling untouched at the other end. It runs and sounds all right but as I don't have a layout I hardly can run it. My traindoctor gave the green light anyway . Yes, I think this Deltic is worth the money ! I am waiting for the Hornby Deltic but I hope it is not too high on the bogies like on the picture ! Best Greetings, Jan, Australia

Nice job, Hylt, lovely model. DP1 visited the Ribble Steam Railway a few years ago, I often wondered whether it arrived by lorry or by rail - if the latter it must've been special seeing it cross their dock bridge. By the way, are you planning a bit of superelevation for those curves, particularly the chicane? Looked a bit precarious a couple of times - I'd hate to see any locos taking a dive! 😳 Anyway nice to see you back and making progress 👍

Enjoyed that Hylt, cant wait to see the layout develop. I've been so busy doing operation garage conversion for the mrs' Gym so I can have all the shed for myself i haven't had chance to get up in the loft! Has that dodgy geezer gone now? I saw a dodgy geezer walking around liberty junction the other week, think he was from trading standards

Great review and camera work. In terms of the Bachmann box whilst other manufactures have had issues with such boxes in the past (Hornby for example) I honestly can’t say I’ve ever had an issue with Bachmann with the box being crushed or parts detached. I actually prefer the size to the oversized Accurascale boxes that I personally feel are way too big. A couple of Accurascale boxes vs around 8 Bachmann boxes. Arguably part of the premium for international shipping should be for a bit of extra padding. I partially suspect the rerun is to capitalise before the Hornby Dublo release. The pricing is high but I rarely buy locomotion models from the shop and go to the stand at shows. For example got an ES1 for £125 recently. Obviously appreciate this is hard for yourself to do! PS just been to the NYMR for the steam gala and it was superb!

Well done Hilton on acquiring the DP1- Deltic. Even though if I look upon this model in nostalgia, it is Still such gorgeous looking locomotive, there are quite a few locos I would like to have, but pride of place would have to go to the Deltic. keep those rails alive. ✔✔😀

I got one of these from the previous run, costing £165, which given the age of the tooling felt about right as a price - given that it’s a one-off prototype and model produced specially for NRM. I love the model, just love it. A unique look, striking colour and smooth runner. It’s a joy to run on the layout.

Great video Hylt! This locomotive is such a wonderful looker! It's a shame she isn't running anymore as she would look purely stunning with a rake of Teaks 👌 I'm sure this will become a firm favourite of your fleet! Also, 3K by Christmas, let's get it on!

An awesome looking and good running model you have there - worth the money you paid for it. The layout is looking good, even at this early stage. Looking forward to further updates as the layout build progresses. Keep the content coming.

Fantastic looking loco and an overview to compliment it! I will be looking forward to the (obviously) forthcoming Hornby overview and comparisons!

Very thorough history and review and you through in some good advice on waiting. I'm afraid I'm a bit tainted when it comes to Bachmann due to the many years of prior experience with sketchy mechanicals. Also, Bachmann parts in the states are not readily available if at all and that is a kick in the pants. Your presentation in this video was stellar it must have been a lot of work. Great video, Jersey Bill

Very appropriate coaches - Gresley teaks in BR Maroon and Blood and Custard. Period appropriate at least. Just have a brake on the rear and front and you're good.

This is a lovely looking loco! Regarding the packaging I actually don’t think it needs upgrading! I’ve never had anything from Bachmann arrive damaged, so I figure the packaging is probably doing it’s job!!

Hi Hilton I have the West Coast Main line version great loco also I think you could get a hm 7000 decoder in I think Jenny Kirk shoedca video of fitting hm 7000 in a bachmann DP1 love the outer cover on the new run of DP1 you have and yes I do agree with you regarding bachmann upgrading there packaging come on Bachmann time to upgrade.Your DP1 looks great by the way keep up the great videos 👍

Is the space so tight that even the speaker alone without the Hornby housings can't be fitted? 🤔

Will there be more UK vlogs coming from you? Although loads of channels have covered the NRM I still want to see a video of you visiting it. :)

An interesting feature about the DP1 Deltic prototype is the upper headlight on the nose, a feature not seen on the production class 55 (or any British locomotive until more recent times). I wonder if English Electric included that upper headlight because they may have had plans to send it to North America for demonstration purposes in hope of selling them there.

I've wanted a Dp1 for a while, still not sure if I should wait for the Hornby one though 😊

Price is definitely high and not something I would want to pay, but I dont mind the higher prices as much on Locomotion Models items as some of the money from the sale goes towards the upkeep of the real engine, which is good.

Hi hilton I hope you are well Very well put together video. Not my cup of tea But it a stunning looking model look great runs well Split chassis? Thank you for sharing your models with us Keep safe ARP

Hi, great looking loco that has really grown on me over the last few years, the Bachmann model looks very nice indeed, the price is about average for such a unique piece of model railway art, the Hornby model show all the signs that it has been taken to another level but I just don’t trust what Hornby do anymore because they don’t support the customer, they tend to rush out products that clearly haven’t been fully developed and have done on numerous occasions, the fact that their all new cast loco has 4 fans make me feel very uncomfortable as the HST sets I bought had extremely noisy units that had to be disconnected because they were so bad! I like the detailing in the pictures I’ve seen but what worries me is the motor they’re going to use in the model, will it be up to the job or will a cheap problematic unit be used to power it, Hornby have a horrible knack of giving nothing for something and I refer you to the APT which was a rush out and many customers were very annoyed that the problems it had were addressed on a 3rd run because the second run was a test run that cost modellers hundreds of pounds and certain aspects of the pack were very underdeveloped on features that hampered its performance, those whom had the issue know and the forums state how bad they were, the cost of the DP1 is very high almost Bachmann high! Sound fitted models are £30 more than dcc ready, this loco should have a smoke feature for the money because of what it is. For me if Accurascale decided to produce an expensive of this great loco I would buy one in a heartbeat because it would be an ultra detailed offering because they are the best at it, if they produced a die-cast model it would cause a stampede, we all know Accurascale will fully support your purchase and I’m speaking from experience, for the collectors that this model is aimed at they will probably be happy with them but I feel the price tag will weigh heavily on what could be a all show and no go project that could show how far Hornby have fallen over the years, I wish them luck because they really need it, if Revolution Trains or Cavalex decide to produce a DP1 it would be a superb product like the ones they produce on a regular basis, only time will tell if the loco lives up to the hype, thanks for sharing.

Hi Hilton, (sorry if I have spelt that wrong) I got very lucky getting one of these bachmann prototype deltic DP1 models recently, the one I managed to get is a weathered and detailed up one and I bought it for £180 of EBay, the model has also been weathered but what I will say about that is I’m not sure if it’s factory or a custom as bachmann did do a couple of these deltics weathered, when it comes to the price yes these do tend to be quite expansive and I did use to be put off by the second hand prices of these which is why I jumped at the chance to get one second hand for £180 which was detailed up and weathered and have to say it was a really good decision, all,I had to do was make a coupling for it which I have done using a piece of brass wire, I’m now looking at getting it sound fitted at some point. Onto the price that you paid it can initially sound like a lot for what is quite an old model now but a couple of things to bear in mind is this is a one off loco, in model form one offs tend to have a much higher price compared to more mainstream items and it’s because the manufacturer doesn’t really have many options for things like liveries on these models, DP1 also didn’t last very long with the real loco just being built as a demonstrator so it’s sphere of operation is very limited, the 2nd thing to consider is where the money is going, if you bought this from the Railway museum itself then the money being paid is actually helping to fund the museum as they receive no funding from anywhere else, they are actually very reliant on donations as far as I know, I bought my bachmann V2 Green Arrow from the York base of the railway museum and at the time I paid £230 for that model but didn’t have any problem with that because it was a loc I wanted but the main thing is I’m helping to keep the museum going. Overall a good video here, it may look like it’s expensive but you have a very nice loco here Hilton, it’s what my dad calls the only proper Deltic, my dad has actually walked through it and it’s very narrow, I haven’t got to see the real one in person yet but hopefully one day.

Hi Hylt, I’ve got two of these from the first batch no sound but lovely loco’s cheers Al

Looks great ….cant wait for you together the Heather planted….🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Hello Hilton, a fabulous locomotive with amazing details. It certainly conveys a sense of power and strength. A superb video many thanks for sharing it, take care and stay safe :) :) :)

It’s lovely. If you’re looking for any volunteers to look after it, I’m your man 😂

Fantastic looking loco mate! I definitely prefer the British class 55, especially in br green, but this is a beautiful loco nonetheless! I think the hornby one will be great and it's pretty much all metal, But at over 300 quid, I'd stick with the Bachmann one tbh! Great stuff hlyt

You should try and get a Heljian DP2 next

Thanks for posting this video, it is always very nostalgic for me to watch, having grown up in Rhodesia where steam was used for passenger trains when I was young.

Hi Hylton. Dunromin v2 is looking great already - cant wait to see how it develops. Thanks for sharing, and good luck with the build going forwards 👍🚂

What a bumper haul of locos and stock! All glorious, but the Class 37s are special to me as well - this was my first loco when I was five! Congratulations on your engagement too - all good wishes 👍🚂

Lovely ex Lms black 5.

What an incredible video - it's so great to see one of our finest heritage railways through the eyes of a visitor from overseas like this. I'm so pleased that you enjoyed it - thanks for sharing as always. All the best, Darryl 👍🚂
