Extremely nice work! I have the two car set and have often wished for more passenger coaches to make a more realistic train. Your solution is beautiful!
Lovely video of an excellently made networker, also saw your electrostar which is equally as good! A lot of models missing for southern layouts and irs refreshing to see a channel with trains that you're likely to see on a daily basis rather than the usual steam locos and special diesels.. just my thoughts but lovely chanel look forward to more!
Thanks mate that's really appreciated :) Yes it's a shame there isn't as much focus on the more commonly seen units. That's always been an issue with model railways, as manufacturers focus on 'special trains' that are more likely to sell, but not the ones we're most likely to see. Welcome to the channel!
@@MistaMatthews Yes, I have a Bratchell Models 319, which is nice. Britannia Pacific models are great, but extremely expensive - they're way out of reach for most modellers! I've also had a 171 in the past, but we are really missing Electrostar and more up to date Networker models.
That is so cool! somebody from the southeast can certify this is very realistic, well done! i wish this was released by Bachmann or Hornby so the rest of the world can see how wonderful this model is! Also, how did u build this? was it from the older hornby 466 model with a new lick of paint?
Many thanks for your kind comment! Yes it was built using some spare Networker bodyshells and chassis that I found on ebay a while back. The shells are then 'cut and shut' to create the intermediate coaches, and repainted in the newer livery. If I build another one I will try and do a video showing the build process :)
How where the fronts made. I'm starting a diesel depot for the early 2000's. It has a railway line running beside and I'm wondering how to get/build a class 465
The fronts are just the original fronts that came with the model. I've added anti-surf covers on top of the buffer beam which were just bits of plasticard filed to the right shape. The unit itself was built with spare chassis and bodyshell parts that I found on ebay many years ago.
@@montgomeryhead4255If you have experience of using drawing/painting software like Photoshop/Corel/Illustrator it's not especially difficult, but it takes a bit of time.
The middle coaches were built by cutting and joining 4 spare bodyshells, and also cutting and joining spare chassis plates together. It sounds more difficult than it is. The anti-climb fairings are made from plasticard, filed and sanded to shape.

This is soo cool like the signal lights even changes! Very realistic and I like it.
Thank you! :)
Real shame Hornby or Bachmann don't really do ultramodern southern region trains apart from the class 395.
Indeed. We could certainly do with some more modern units for the southern region, particularly the Electrostar!
Bachmann do a few. There is the Southern Class 171, South West Class 450. Also, check out Bratchell models and Britannia Pacific

Can you make class 466 southeasteen
@@Llins3009 These are effectively 466 units, with a couple of coaches added.
This is fantastic. Really wish Hornby would bring this out in RTR.
Thanks! Likewise :)
It’s really weird that Hornby hasn’t made Networkers and Electrostars.

How did you paint the Southeastern livery? for example to dotted blue stripe on the front and rear car.
They are custom laserjet transfers.
@@sevenoaksOO Is it particularly difficult to do? I am thinking of making a class 465 in the current Southeastern livery myself.

Hi mate I have a 465 converted from the two was wondering where you got the decals from ?
Hi there, I made the decals myself using laser decal paper
Where did u get the networker
It is explained in the video description.
WHERE CAN I BY THIS MODEL???????!???????????
You can't buy it, sorry.
Oh ok
May i ask, where did you get the extra cars an the step covers from?

This is amazing.
Made a class 465 from a 466
From spare 466 bodies and chassis parts, yes. You need 3x466 sets to make one 465.
