Thanks!
Very cool!
Thank you!
Interesting 'review'. At least in my experience the shorter wheel base 3 axle bogie never ran as well as the longer version as under the Brush 4 &C. After very little running the locos I had experience with would have repeated sticky periods of slow speed for a few seconds while running. On my Cl. 50 I did replace the trailing truck with 6 wheel pickup but that did not help. I cannot justify the very considerable time to prove the point, but I believe the longer bogie can be made to run as well as the modern locos, with the massive advantage that motor brushes can be replaced. A LOT OF WORK IS INVOLVED, including major modifications to increase pickup. This probably applies to the shorter bogie version ,as with our Cl.50s as well. The bogies I mean had brass hex nuts on the gears. This particular loco might well have the wiring obstructing the gear teeth. A few points 1/ Needs the longer bogie 2/ The abiding visual failing of this model is the front windscreens, but that does not worry most modellers. 3/ For non DKK runners I keep mentioning the June 1975 Kalmbach Model Railroader article by Don Hansen 'Throttle with a Future'. These throttles turn Lima into a different proposition entirely. The feel we had for modelling then was not as now; I'm not saying now fails, but it is different. If I were still following BR I would base my layout on Lima diesels and Wrenn steam outline, with a spray of Triang, and some scratch built. Needless to say all lima and Triang would be rebuilt. For anyone with doubts about the old stuff, just grab a decent pulse start throttle and compare a good example of the Wrenn/HD Castle with almost anything else. Poetry in motion. Just remember to use pulse for start and stop only, reverting to smooth DC for main sequence running. The usual rheostats used half wave rectified. Within their intended purpose, I have experience of only the later Lima diesels, but as I knew it, Lima was remarkable, recommendable, and worthy of great respect.
That's really interesting - I for one am a huge fan of the Lima models - they represent a most accurate detailed depiction for a sensible price. With a bit of time and some modelling bits they can be almost as good if not better than the modern models!
@@timbervalleyproductions Yes, all depends what you are looking for. I think it was Monty Wells who published several articles in RM, all based on improvements. For me he did not go far enough. For example, he (from memory) had a go at the Cl 50 windscreens but did not remediate the shape of the cab roof which dictated the error. Similarly he did not go far enough on the drive modifications. Particularly with DKKnsound (one word, I believe), we should be able to replicate the mass of the prototype shown at the 2min 38 second mark of th-cam.com/video/5nHesKAxnpM/w-d-xo.html As stated: it all depends what you are looking for; and this is what I am looking for. As you say, perhaps we can better the modern crop of models; yes: very probably. Remember the throttle I pointed you towards. Just because a motor has a three slot rotor does not mean it performs any the less; think of the flat Fleischmann motor. I was getting very good performance from my Lima EE Type 3, and Brush Type 4, and that was factory settings. I don’t know if brushes can still be obtained. I stress that to replicate the performance on that video clip requires a lot of work - and a lathe (or get someone interested at the local club).. Inspection of the Cl.50 suggests various techniques for correction of the windscreens. A Mr Henderson in the Jan? 1966 RM wrote up a technique for moulding a new cab roof. A little thought would provide flush glazing. I notice someone (Shawplan?) has produced an etch for improving the windscreens of the EE 3. Don’t forget the Dapol reproduction of the old Kitmaster Deltic. Find an old ‘brass hexnut’ bogie from a wreck. The glazing is missing from the kit, but as the glass seems to fit oversize behind the windshiels reglazing should be easy. Someone is currently running a series on the model. There you are: a challenge for you. Hopefully someone will be inspired to have a go; it will not break the bank, and unlike moden models, the mechanism will last till the cows come home - all that’s needed is a bit of maintenance and a new set of brushes occasionally. If you are new to this game please observe the warnings on glues etc., and p-l-e-a-s-e put those bloody modelling knives safely down between cuts! And yes: if you followed the link, the loco IS the prototype for the Triang R 159. I wish I had the opportunity to thank Mr Henderson, and A.C.N. Herd who wrote on scratchbuilding in the 1968 RM. Time for me to shupup.
Glad you got the Regional Railways liveried one. I've seen that around a few times, always wondered why it's still wearing those colours.
Yeah I was pretty pleased as well tbh, seen it on the lickey a few times as well - i think it's in regional railways colours to celebrate the fact they've been in service for so long.
nice one, really enjoyed that, ☺
Thank you!
Nice video. I went to new street in march too and I saw some 20s and 37884
Thanks mate - that's brilliant, I'd love to see a 37 therr!
Nice footage from the Severn Valley Railway Spring Steam Gala buddy!
Thank you!
Oof
I know right!
Great vlog from Model World Buddy it was a great show and it really knackered me out walking round I had a nice sleep afterwards lol
Thanks mate! It was definitely a good show and I'm hoping they'll run it again next year. I was definitely knackered, that's an understatement, especially as I stayed up to half past midnight to edit this!
Sry i couldn't watch it when it was live
Don't worry about it - it was only a spontaneous thing 😂
@@timbervalleyproductions sry
Left a little message on scratch........
...and I've left one back!
I think that it sounded awful when you ran it, I bet that you were pleased that you only had it on loan. I suppose these days and the expensive models you only get what you pay for. I like your video, Regards from Ron.
@@RonCooper-nl4pn That sound is pretty typical of most Lima locos - they have a very recognisable sound! I must admit, though, I am a big fan of the Lima locos, but you do very much get what you pay for.
A very nice looking model, is it possible to upgrade the motor ? This one sounds like it is on the last knowing’s . Nice review and video, regards from Ron 🚂👍😃
Thanks Ron! Yes it should be possible - I believe it uses the XO series motors, which explains the noise. I believe you can buy conversion kits to convert to a coreless motor or similar.
I am surprised that you missed out on the BRAKE shoes, the fact that they were a MILE out of line from the shiny wheels. I would say NOT good at all for this day and age ! The very poor running and the price I can see them being available very cheaply and soon. I still would not buy any of them, they are rubbish. Regards from Ron 🚂👎
That's a very good point Ron - thanks for this, I hadn't really looked at the brake shoes to be honest, but I'll definitely pay more attention in future reviews. If you look on eBay the prices they command are ridiculous, even for a pretty old wagon!
Your welcome and good luck with future reviews.
good
Thanks!
Chuff rate is actually about right, that's a first for TTS
Haha yeah you're right there!
I do like this livery and I have a rake of these coaches and a class 73 in the same livery. I think that you have got a good deal here. I only have DCC Sound on my O gauge models and I am not keen on Powered Coaches or DMU. In fact I have 82 models and not a single DMU, but If I see a bargain I might consider buying one ! Regards from Ron 🚂👍🚂
That's awesome Ron, I do like the NSE livery, and a 73 in it must be awesome!
Amazing
Thank you!
Rubbish motor, pathetic worm-gear cover, doesn't have the torque that it should have, and the size of the box is stupid beyond belief! If I can think of anything positive then I'll be sure to let them know.
I have to say I agree with all of your points! The motor is definitely not good - there's nothing wrong with a much larger 5 pole - even Bachmann use better motors!
Great capture and tones
Thank you!
I am very disheartened after seeing your manor videos and reading the comments. My 7810 Draycott Manor was received just before Christmas and all I have been able to do so far was the 9 volt battery test and I got no response at all from the tender wheels yet loco and tender appear to be properly connected. I don't have a layout at present so all I can do is put it on my rolling road or run it along a short piece of temporary track. Neither of which will show up the R2 problem. I am DC so fitting a decoder is not an option. You have returned 2 locos to Accurascale and I wonder if they made any comment about the issues or did they just replace your locos and cross their fingers. I am in the same dilemma with my class 37/0 received at the end of November- lots of reports of faulty motors which do not appear immediately. Accurascale's communication is usually good but I wish they would come clean over these issues or the excellent reputation they have built up will be at risk. I feel like updating my reviews as these were done based on looks and value for money. I have spent £500 on three locos (I have a deltic) and maybe they will all go back for a refund!
Yeah, I get where you're coming from. They're not too bad on DC, I think this was just a dodgy motor - as the replacement was much better. I too have heard many reports of not performing well on DC, so hopefully this isn't a theme with Accurascale!
Just seen Accurascale now offering lifetime warranty - so you should be covered!
The Warships - things of beauty.
They certainly are!
That’s funny mine is one of my best
Yeah - I have heard that. Though if it's DCC I'm not surprised - I've DCC fitted. Both of my manors now (after having replacements) and they're superb performers!
First pin Brilliant video btw
Thanks mate!
Mine wasnt very good out of the box either.
Since filming the review I've fitted it with DCC and the performance has improved significantly - but glad it wasn't just me that had problems!
all my stock is pre owed, i've used classicrail quite good and cheap.even if not, can fix them up etc
Yeah - that's sounds like a good way to go!
your layout is great
Thank you!
Proper noise is that!
Yeah it sure is!
Thanks for running my requests. Can't wait to see the finished class 139. Merry Christmas 🎅
No problem! I can't wait either! Considering I've been working on the 139 for a year now it might take a while before we see the finished thing but hopefully I can find some excuse to crack on and get it finished! Merry Christmas and happy new year to you too. 🎄
Que hermoso tren ! ✨
Thank you!
Yay you ran the train i asked for 😀
Haha I certainly did!
If I was guaranteed a Gresley's Rocket I might have bought one! Nice few bits in there 👍
Haha yeah, it's certainly a very nice addition and one I wasn't expecting!
I’m not keen on the TTS sound system and I think it’s due to the small speakers that are limited in size ! All my OO models are DCC and I only fit Sound Decoders in all my ‘O’ gauge models, there’s no comparison I’m afraid. Thanks for your videos I appreciate them, regards from Ron.
Thanks Ron! Yeah I'm not a huge fan of the TTS tbh, in my opinion you're better off just buying a normal decoder!
I have bought a few pre owned models like your self from Dealers and found them to be in Mint condition including the accessories still in the bag. So thanks for a great Video showing us how to make great savings on our hobby, regards from Ron 🚂👍🚂😃🚂✔️🚂
Yeah - pre owned can be very good! Thanks for watching!
