BLUEBELL CROMPTON ON TANKERS

- This is my latest project to be completed in the weathering studios - a commission from the Bluebell Railway Shop at Sheffield Park for their fledgling layout.
The "Crompton" and block tanker train will be making its public debut at the Bluebell Railway's excellent model event this weekend: 2nd - 3rd July:

The loco is none other than 33052 "Ashford" (D6570) - the latest locomotive to be acquired by the Sussex based preserved railway where it is currently undergoing restoration.
This Heljan OO Gauge model has been backdated to a typically grubby 1980's condition to haul a rake of sixteen TTA ICI methanol tank wagons. Each wagon has been renumbered into a unique identity and each given varying degrees of weathering for a natural overall look.
We studied numerous photos of methanol tankers from the period, and because methanol evaporates relatively quickly, they weathered in a different way to TTA's that carried sticky heavy, oils or petroleum.
A Train Tech automatic flashing tail light was discretely fitted to the end vehicle along with bufferbeam details to finish the consist off nicely.
Artistry in weathering; artistry in camera movement; artistry in the editing of vision and sound.
I use to drive class 33s back in the day and they were a good loco, punched well above there weight, put two together and they could handle 60 mph freight up to 2000 tons.
Excellently done Steve and with a cracking soundtrack, cheers 👍
This is just the most incredible, surely the most realistic one could get to going back in time, the details the loco sounds & also the ambient sound with birds & rail "Click clack" I could imagine nothing more realistic. I bet there are not many rivet counters writing ... & surely very well deserved. This video is my inspiration for my own feeble attempts. thank you so much for sharing this!
Took me right back to Southampton in the 80s, just needed some VEPS and REPS to make the illusion complete
Class 33 numbering is parallel to the Bulleid Q1s. Interesting observation!
Brilliant Steve, another excellent video and superbly weathered Loco and stock I can't believe that you don't have more subscribers, especially considering that three of your videos have now topped 140k views.
Loco right speed, highly impressive weathering and uncluttered scenery, great photography and sound, this an absolute joy to watch and listen. Shadow from trees on white backdrop at 1:42 my only standout criticism. Appreciate difficult to control light.
Very glad to have discovered your work.
Another excellent entertaining video. Thanks.
Cheers Peter! 👍👍👍

Great layout - my compliments. I would be very interested in some more details of your layout please - dimensions, track plan and a video layout tour would be great!
Many thanks indeed 🙏 There are details of the layout on my website 👍
The Crompton & TEA’s look superb.
Love it 😍 ! Good to see some top notch ‘80s grime on the mighty Neville Grove!
Excellent! As you know there’ll be plenty more soon enough! 😉
Excellent! Look forward to seeing that 33 on Sunday at bluebell railway model railway show along with some friends including Richard @BALLAN PARKWAY cheers Darrell 👍
Thanks Darrel and glad you enjoyed - did you see it running?
@@NEVILLEGROVE yes and it looked superb running smoothly with the tankers 👍
Damn that was cool
Very nice.
Is this your usual choice of a good prototype sound recording to overlay the video?
Or is this the best in locomotive DCC sound system I have ever heard?
one class of locomotive that I don't have a sound model. i need to pull my socks up and get a 33 sound file.
The sound on this channel is mostly audio recordings overlayed on the vision and not the inadequate sound from even the best sound equipped locomotives.
With the steam locomotives it is usually credited in the description but not here.
That is my understanding.
