  • Welcome to episode 47 of liberty Junction
    Featuring unbiased award ceremony, hot offers, hot news, hot everything, it’s so fricking hot it’s almost melting your screens !
    As I always say thanks a million to all my subscribers, and thanks to everyone that watches my videos, if you haven’t subscribed please consider doing so, I like my subscribers quite a bit more than my none subscribers I almost love them, not quite love but better than friends😆
    Thanks to the commenters and folk that share these on, they’re intended as light hearted entertainment, some are absolute crackers some a bit more serious. I love the model railways, I love filming them going about their business and I love chatting about them. No one in my house is interested in listening to me chat about them, hence I chat to you guys. Feel free to ask any questions.
    The intention of this channel is to come at a different angle from the usual and do my own thing which may or may not be everyone’s cup of tea.
    It gets me some peace up here in the loft though so I’ll keep it going. I only have a small fleet as they’re all the new sound fitted models and it’s a new hobby so don’t expect a different loco in each video. Hope you like this one, cheers! Dave

    Double O Dave, I just bought a plastic machine don't want to say what kind incase some old grandad get idea's. Anyway I'm going to start knocking out retaining walls when I designed a mould(s), probably start one that's the same size as the common ones that people use so they can swop them out to plastic if anyone wants, it's not coming till 3 to 4 weeks. Probably going to have to get a large 3d resin printer to help making the moulds plus get some material samples but when I've got something finished I'll send you some and brick walling. Going to try and do a nice blue brick as well as the normal, give me 3 months.

    I was chatting to Cav at GETS about the standard of their 56s. Comparing their models to other manufacturers I said I see Bachmann as being like a Mercedes, well made and expensive but you know what you’re getting. Accurascale are like Alfa Romeo, beautiful models but a bit fragile at times. Cav said it was interesting because they see their models as being like Aston Martins, if you want the ultimate you get the Aston. They really are next level and nothing else comes close.

      Hi, I spoke to him at the show on the Sunday, he’s a very genuine level headed person, their class 56 is a superb locomotive and deserved the award for the best loco of the year, how it didn’t win is beyond me I guess Accurascale have a bigger customer base, I hope and pray Cavalex revisit the class 91 after they have won everyone over with their class 60. Hornby didn’t do the class 91 any justice at all in my opinion, maybe Cavalex will look into mk3 & 4 coaches in the future.

    I would agree. The Cavalex 56 is an excellent model. Definitely locomotive of the year. I ordered one when they were first announced upon receipt. I was that impressed. I purchased four more and will do it when the second batch is released.
    I will be attending The National Festival of Railway Modelling 2024. On another note Rails has once again helped it's self to my cash by sending me another locomotive I don't need. Oh well, never mind.

    Hi, great video update, there’s no way the Accurascale class 66 was the best loco of 2024! It might be better than the Hatton’s original except for the speaker downgrade! For me the Cavalex class 56 was the best hands down by far, maybe people were cheesed off because they didn’t produce enough of them while the class 66 was readily available, if the Accurascale refurb model had space for the EM2 speaker and the dashboard lit up then I would have purchased one, it didn’t so I’m happy with my Hatton’s and Bachmann models, the Legomanbiffo original sound in the Hatton’s 66 is awesome and hasn’t been matched since, I hope Cavalex revisit the class 91 because Hornby’s effort was a let down in my opinion, I’d rather a Cavalex class 60 because they know how to go all out for what they believe in and put their heart and soul into their models and it shows, thanks for sharing.
