The return of Ladderman! Oh and Accurascale’s new class66!

- Well Covid has struck again☣️
It’s knocked me down a peg or two this past week or so, but because I’ve been keeping a low profile I’ve had time to enjoy the delivery of Accurascale’s latest offering.
66122 in DRS blue, what a belter! The original Hattons 66 is a fine model, there’s a couple here at Colwich, but they were unfortunately flawed.
Thankfully Accurascale seem to have take the model and put it right. I’ve managed to fit a crew, and remove the NEM socket & tension lock coupling.
Next will be some subtle weathering, as the real life DRS locos are kept pretty clean.
A recent thing that’s been bugging me is the lack of storage space for locos, so the access road has been sacrificed & turned into a semi disused storage siding, all connected to the track bus for engine running & small movements… I’m quite happy with it😃
The elephant in the room is “Ladderman”, last seen being carted off by the police @DYLINGTONMODELRAILWAY it appears he’s back!
A quick count of the HAA stock
Is underway to see if anything’s missing!
Hopefully @doubleodave can shed some light on Laddermans where abouts, I thought he was in Devon! 🤔
Any way happen you enjoy the loco movements around the shed in this episode, the new/old storage siding gives a nice foreground for loco movements.
Cheers until next time!

Great modelling as always 😊
I think this is the first time i've seen your layout but it looks great given me lots of ideas
Thanks for taking a look, I get most of my ideas from watching other channels along with my daily dog walk along the canal which runs alongside WCML.
I’ve still got one end of the layout that needs to be completed, so there’s lots of work to do.
Cheers John b 😎
Breaking news! Ladderman has been spotted at Redshed Lane TMD! A lovely layout there and great to see the all new revamped 66, in this case ex db now DRS, a great running session there, at long last we have the definitive sound! It's spot on, i know i hear them every day! Very dissapointed that my friend Jim at the Locoshed in Manchester still hasn't recieved his order, looks like next week. I did come by the Accurascale limited 66001a few weeks ago and it blew me away! Will have to do some swaps but cant bring myself to part with any of my ten Hattons versions so will have to be a few Bachmann 66s. Really enjoyed your review and if i spot Ladderman again you will be first to know! Have a great weekend, really enjoyed cheers Nick.
He’s like some kind of modern world phenomenon that ladderman!
I think Accurascale have so many models to get shipped, no wonder!
The sound fitted Hattons Original is impressive, this sounds perfect as far as I can tell.
Thanks for watching & commenting👍

Magnificent catches of the model trains coming by and pass, I like it 5 stars.
Thumbs up.
Keep up the perfect work, my friend, just liked and subscribed, Greetings from Portugal to the UK .
Ah Portugal 🇵🇹 my second team!!! ⚽️
Thankyou for taking a look at the railway, glad you like the layout.
Cheers John b😎
@@colwichjunction3366 oh yeah.
@@colwichjunction3366 your model trains are amazing.
@@colwichjunction3366 in Portugal, we have diesel-electric locomotives that have the same engine sound and thrash as the Class 20s: the CP 1400s.
Yeah I’m sure I’ve seen them on my Instagram account👍
You have a lovely layout
Thanks for stopping by to take a look.
There’s plenty still to do & I’ve recently been distracted by O gauge which isn’t helping!
Cheers John b 🥸
Excellent showcase of getting the best out of your new Accurascale 66 John! Hopefully mine will be waiting for me once I’m back from holiday, that’s unless ladder man hasn’t had it away and ends up on Liberty Junction with that Double o Dave fella 🤣
😆keep an eye on your delivery date, not sure what that Ladderman is upto?
I think he’s out scouting to see wether there’s anything going spare…
That will be a nice box to open when you get back home, hopefully you won’t be disappointed, have you gone for a sound fitted version?
Yeah got my email to say it’s on its way so I’ll be checking cctv at home to keep an eye out for ladder man intercepting my delivery 😅 it’s the prostrate cancer gbrf sound fitted, 7/8 of my hattons 66’s are sound fitted with a few different sound files and looking forward to seeing how this one compares to an already awesome sound 😃👍
@darrelldeltic807 - you will be the one to compare the sound file then!
I started 5/6 locos up the other day & the noise was pretty loud…dare you start all of your 66s up at once!?
That I’d like to hear🔊👍
@@colwichjunction3366 might just have to do that John 🤣😊👍
You guys are brave talking about postal deliveries - he’s got contacts you know on the inside 😄
Loving that mini pickup by the way!
Wanted one so bad when I was about 18
Be a fortune nowadays
Mega rare, my mates farm had one we shared it when we passed car tests, nowt like turning up to a village show dance in White jeans getting out of a farm mini pick up 🤣
Very nice. This is the first of your videos that I have seen. Subscribed. I’ll be back later to check out your earlier stuff. Love the crossover with OODave, excellent. Take it easy with the COVID.
Hello Duncan
thanks for taking a look 👀 Sorry I’m a little late getting back to you I’ve been off grid for a couple of days, covid really has knocked me off track, so to say!
Fair play to 00Dave for adding a much needed injection of humour to the hobby (especially the RUclips side of it) although I love the serious modelling side of things, it doesn’t hurt to be a bit daft now & then.
Cheers
John b 🤒🤧
Nice model from them. I look forward to trying out the Accurascale Class 60 in OO that is coming in 2025.
Me too, pity they’ve announced another 60 after Cavalex have already committed…
I’ll be honest I’ve never been a massive fan of the 60, but I’m slowly warming to them. There’s a Cavalex one on preorder, and I’m sure I’ll be tempted by Accurascale as well. There’s a great line up of liveries, I fancy Coal Sector for my HAA’s
Thanks for watching & getting in touch👍
Cheers John b😎
Basically I sent Ladderman to assess your loco situation, see if there’s any scrap ones he can bring me back - like that 37409 I’d like that one 😉
He didn’t get arrested either that was just a cheap body double that James hired for his video.
Nice siding mate it’s all looking really good, you could have done a layout tour being as though you’ve had man flu ! 😆
Ps did you go semi Yorkshire accenty at one point it was hard to tell 😄
Was it semi Yorkshire or Welsh/indian, I can’t tell! I just sound rough as….
I was hoping a custard tank might have appeared on the layout, but I haven’t seen one yet!
I must get round to doing that layout tour, although I’d love to rip all the fiddle yard out! Because that’s what it is, a bloody fiddle everytime I use it!!!!😡
Thanks for watching I’m off to practice that deception technique you were on about.
Cheers John b🤧
Better get a full check done on all your rolling stock, John. Especially if any were carrying Dylington Custard, he's got form on that score. Him and his mate Dodgy Old Dave, from taking the Liberty Junction. Great video, with some well decent locos. I hope you shake off the covid soon, I'm not a fan of covid. It floored me just after the first lockdown and put me in hospital, horrible. Anyway, another enjoyable video ...cheers James 😁👍
Hello, I have the GBRF 66 from Accurascale. I've given it a run in and a basic test and I have been very impressed so far. I am going to give it a proper go tomorrow which I am looking forward to. My only criticism is that when you remove the body to fit drivers you have 4 or 5 very fine bits of detail which kept catching on the chassis as you put the body back on. I am not sure they are really needed and I found it made more awkward. As for the movement, sound and build quality out of the box I can't fault it. Tim
Hi Tim,
yeah there are a couple of bits that need to be treated with care. It’s a lot easier to deal with than the previous Hattons version though.
I’m very pleased with it out of the box too, I’m planning to give it a bit of weathering next, nothing too heavy though.
I hope your full on run went without any problems 👍
Cheers John b 😎
Subscribed, ladderman at his best 😂.
Yes he’s certainly taking the model Railway world by stealth! 😆
Cheers John b😆
Hi, Lucky for me, those lovely sounding Class 66's aren't early diesel BR green period............Phew my bank balance is safe. I agree they do sound the most like a 66 of any I have seen with sound, so well done Accurascale.
Mmmmmm the bank balance does keep taking hits!
It’s quite an addictive hobby isn’t it, I do have to stop myself buying some of the new steam releases, although I’m not a fan of Hornby the 2MT looks stunning & apart from the gimmicky lights, the black five looks pretty good too🤔
Hello, very very nice scenery, and locos. Where can I get these catenary gantries? Regards.
Hi
The gantries are from @scalemodelscenery & the registration stems are from Dapol - I combine the two kits to make the overheads⚡️
Hope that helps
John b 😎
Thank you very much. ❤
Fantastic layout and super smooth operation. Dublo Dave said he took Ladderman on holiday to Devon but I reckon he was creating an alibi. Hmmm Devon … well known for yellow pudding sauce.
Take care on the COVID thing, it’s not a cold, nasty thing that lingers for ages. 👍
Yeah Ambrosia, it all links in!
I’ve enjoyed (if that’s the right word) having a few moments spare to run a few trains in isolation. The sound file in the new loco is really good, the 37s & the Cavalex 56 are all superb sounding machines, not really sure which one is top for me???
I’ve just returned to work after the latest bout of COVID, but I’ll be honest my energy levels aren’t great. It’s definitely here to stay unfortunately, I test when I’m not feeling well as my Dad is 91 & I do shopping & stuff for him so I’ve got to be careful.
Anyway thanks for commenting & glad you enjoyed the running shots👍
Cheers John b🤒
Did ladder man change loyalty from dave over at liberty junction or did dave fire him for been lazy my 66763 was a bit tetchy on starting off on dcc and it sorted out itself after a few seconds of running and ran sweet after a full running in
What livery is your 08 in?
Hi, I think it’s meant to be GWR green, the loco was or might still be resident at Long Rock depot Penzance. I got it second hand the only reason being, because I like the colour! The real loco looks like it is kept in a better condition than mine!
Cheers John b 😎
