THE ULTIMATE OO GAUGE DELTIC? Custom Weathered Accurascale Class 55
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- OK I know I previously trailered for a new video of multiple Deltic's storming through Neville Grove (this is still very much in the pipeline, as I type another 3 Class 55's are heading their way to my weathering studio) - but I couldn't resist sharing this with you in the meantime!
So, now in all its subtly dirty and polished glory is 55017 "Durham Light Infantry" custom weathered for @MrTBrearley
The loco was pre-ordered almost as soon as the model was announced, and was promptly booked a place in my weathering queue. Back then we decided that this Deltic was to receive a polished finish with subtle dirt to emulate a busy top link express locomotive of the 1970's / 80's.
The subtle dirt and polish effects gives depth and lustre to the factory finish, and as so often happens with this sort of weathering work, the model gains the impression of weight and bulk. To my mind this adds to the realism of this richly detailed and accurate model and combines to create the ultimate model Deltic in OO Gauge. Well done @accurascaleuk1427
With a decoder easily installed via the removable roof panel, "Durham Light Infantry" is silky smooth at the head of Tim's rake of Bachmann BR Blue / Grey Mk1's and 2's.
During its visit, the entire coach rake has been fitted with the superb Hunt ELITE Buckeye magnetic couplings from @WestHillWagonWorks Not only do these look so much better than the standard tension lock couplings, they also provide more reliable running, closer coupling and convenient marshalling.

A privilege to have such a thoroughly fantastic train visit Neville Grove!
Although the sound equipped Accurascale Deltics look and sound astonishingly good, neither of these are DCC Sound fitted. So audio recordings has been used from footage of real world Deltics running on the mainline plus preserved railways.
You always manage to do the most realistic shots.
Thanks Michael glad you enjoy them!
Spectacular! Just needs the driver in !
The weathering is brilliant. This is how I remember the Deltics I used to see almost daily on my commute to work each morning and evening passing through Hornsey Station on the ECML way back in the 1970s pre-Intercity 125s. slightly grubby and at 0.17 is the most realistic video shot I have ever seen, it could be the real thing! I really appreciate good modelling and the scene pays justice to the quality of the layout. I have subscribed and thank you. Ian
I don't care about the sound - real, recorded, techno, improvised et al, the models are exquisite.
Outstanding and very realistic weathering. A great OO scale diesel engine and the sound is just fantastic. A new standard ? Thanks for sharing. Cheers
Wonderful! In proper landscape format too… Happy days! 😁
Absolutely how a Deltic should be mk2 coaches brilliant
I'm lucky enough as an old Croc to remember them at Doncaster my local spotting haunt, when they were introduced, the noise of those power units on idle had to be heard to be believed and when they took off, wow. If I had a bit of extra pocket money some weekends it was a cheap day return to York behind one. Once a year a two week summer holiday stay with relatives in Newcastle by train, Deltic hauled of course. Standing next to the loco you couldn't hear anyone talking to you. No wonder BR put sound screens behind the cab seats early on. Excellent production of a great layout and locos. Thanks for bringing back the memories. We'll done.
Magnificent! The panning shots following the Deltic and then the coaches! Brilliant. Not just a great looking loco and layout but the filming and sound was next level as well. Great effort!
Thanks very much! Are the Deltic’s the best sounding diesels ever???
Stunning. I had a sneaky feeling the Accurascale Deltic weathered correctly would look even more convincing. Massive thanks to you and Accurascale for realising the potential and bringing the hobby to (real) life!
Excellent 👍bell icon pressed
Great thanks! 👍👍👍
Wow...great stuff
The Don of weathering! What a great video - I love the audio!
This is the first tie I've looked at a model and could genuinely believe it was 100% real if you told me
Never mind the locomotive what a fantastic layout. Stunning pal . The deltic also looks great.
Felt like we had gone back in time to the real thing!
Excellent thanks very much 👍👍👍
More than just the ultimate deltic, from what ive heard its the ultimate oo gauge model
Received the DPS Alycidon one today!
Excellent! I’m sure you’re not disappointed 🔥
@@NEVILLEGROVE absolutely not! Its a masterpiece. Now I want to buy more of them!
Absolutely brilliant! I half expected captain scarlet to appear and something to explode {glad it didnt] spot on , enjoyed that.
Cool thanks Simon, glad you enjoyed! 👍
Stellar model, stellar weathering. It's way outside my usual wheelhouse in terms of modelling but I adore the Deltic (who doesn't) and this gets me really excited about UK stuff.
Thanks, they are very charismatic locos.
Yes
Nice weathering, just how i saw them years ago, they done an amzing job on this model
That’s great to know thanks Darren 👍
That sir is an outstanding peice of modelling! Just WOW :)
Many thanks indeed, appreciate you watching and for leaving the comment!
Oh, you really brought that train to life with some beautifully done weathering. Always a pleasure to see your work, and the layout too. Thanks, all the best Dave.
Another cracking video Steve, always a pleasure to watch your masterful productions, cheers 👍👍👍
Cheers Nige, I really appreciate your kind comments 👍
No1 just No1 beautiful
Absolutely loved it! Wait till you see my L(ego) gauge deltic XD
Just looks amazing, and I want to give a shout out to the equally subtle weathering on the blue/grey coaches. Agree with you that the Hunt couplings you mention are transformative!
Superb camera work, superb layout, and superb model!
Brilliant, thanks very much Keith 👍👍👍
What an impressive looking & sounding locomotive…..
Fabulous
Brilliant job on 55017. It just needs twin working clag generators...
Indeed, they would be an amazing addition!
Super nice👍👍👍🛤🚂🚂👍👍🖖.
Greetings Gert
cracking video Neville
Stunning!!! And I'm not into this stuff but I grew up with a guy who still loves this stuff (we're still friends too). His layout, though not my thing is great...
Great video as always and the weathering job really captures the look of a working locomotive
Looks so real, fantastic
Great weathering and camera work as always, but that soundtrack stole the show😎
Looks amazing.
amazing model
Yeah it’s awesome, we’ll done Accurascale 👏
Toujours tellement beau vos prises de vue ! Splendide maquette 😍
Absolutely fantastic!!!
Amazing as always , Thank you.
Outstanding your layout quality just brings this to loco to live and a big shout out has to go to acure scale for the incredibly good quality loco at competitive price 250 sound fitted is well worth it but again fantastic work on weathering the loco and the layout finish quality
Many thanks for all those kind words, and yes Accurascale have produced a belter at a bargain price.
@@NEVILLEGROVE I would love to have my ddc sound 1:1 bittern wethered but scared to get done incase Its not how like or after a year I ended up not liking it but its on the plate of ideas
@@brickleyyard4966 You’ll just have to trust me - once you’ve had one weathered there’s no looking back!
@@NEVILLEGROVE I have a couple of 37s done but have not touch any of my steam as yet
@@brickleyyard4966 if you decide to go for it one of your steam locos I’d highly recommend a polished / in use finish- it transform its appearance from a plastic toy to a scale model 👌👌👌
very nice indeed
Everything about this is spectacular, what a great layout you have! You e really done the Deltic justice with some subtle and realistic weathering. I wondered what camcorder/camera you used for filming this as the results are crystal clear? Thanks, Dave
Cheers Dave, much appreciated. I tend to take most shots on my smartphone and some with my Nikon DSLR.
Odd, considering you probably have the same source material, the Deltics sound more powerful and with less clatter on this audio.
Superb - any issues with vibration ?
Such a shame that no one ever adds drivers or passengers to these superb models, instead we just get empty ghost trains!
Looks awesome! Fantastic job on the weathering, any chance of doing my 55002 KOYLI? 😊cheers Darrell
Looks like how fast my brain explodeds
Did I see Sheffield station and Bridgeo Bridge?
TMC do a range of weathering options .
Any chance of some tutorial videos? Thanks
It's a fantastic model - only the bottom handrails above the front footsteps look wrong - otherwise, a stunning model and such good value too. Well weathered as always!
where it is avail... in chennai
I know you use a real sound recording, not the DCC sound, but I've just received mine as Nimbus with DCC sound and the sound doesn't work on a DC layout 🤷
It's not designed to. That's why you need a DCC layout. DC means direct current and is 12 volts DC. DCC is 16volt AC and is a constant current running through the rails and digital commands are sent to the DCC chip on the locomotive to make it move in the desired direction, turn the lights on or off, etc. You need to understand the difference in the two systems.
@@andyhinds542 I know what its all about, but I future proof myself by buying DCC sound locos these days. Some work very well on DC layouts, some don't. Most US DCC sound locos work fine (all limited sounds I know) on DC layouts, so there is no reason for British outline stuff to be so variable. My Dapol Black Label A4 uses an American DCC chip and works very well on DC as does my Hornby Dublo Duchess of Atholl with Olivia's Trains sound.
It should work on DC but give it more voltage than you think.
@@andrewdking I don't see how a DCC chip fitted loco should work on a DC layout because DC is basically analogue control. For a DCC ready loco to work on DC it must have the bypass chip which is standard on a ready to run model. I cannot run any of my locos in DCC mode unless they have the specific chip installed, which most of them do. It's the opposite with a DC only loco on a DCC layout. You're only going to get a buzzing noise as that 16V AC goes through the motor of the analogue motor and does nothing else. I'm going to enjoy retrofitting my old DC locos from the 80s with DCC circuitry, starting with an old Triang Class 81.
@@mccarronfamily That's not how it works. You can put as much voltage through a DCC chipped loco on a DC layout as you want and it will not work. It has to have the little DC chip installed so it will run like an analogue loco. That's usually how they come straight from the factory. In most cases you have to install a DCC chip in order to run it on a DCC layout because it has to be programmed.
Can't be a deltic,it's not belching atmospheric pollution lol
Agreed, that would be an excellent addition to the model 💨💨💨
The worst thing about the Deltic, was its horns, sound like old farts
They sound just like the old 4 CEP's and 4 VEP's etc on the Southern Region to me.
Based on 30 years of train commuting - maybe a bit of graffiti and litter? Perhaps a pile of old tyres on an embankment?!
