I wish I had the balls to weather my locos lol...yours look the business tho! Maybe once I have done my 10000000 other jobs I will take the airbrush to my fleet. Cheers Dave
Only half way through the roster so far. You have some great locos there. I'm looking forward to a video of a long running session! In regards to 37 427, I remember you posting that you'd swapped the noses on this 37 and being told about the details. You could justify the nose swap by saying this one had accident damage and those were the noses that were used in replacement. It's your railway after all! In regards to 47 573, for starters let me express my sincere condolences regarding your daughter. I think it's great that you want to have one of your fleet named after her. I don't know of any companies that will just supply custom plates, but TMC do supply and fit custom plates for steam locos so they may be worth asking. Good luck.
Brilliant collection there. I'm a funny bugger when it comes to DCC sound, i love it when it comes to shunting with lots of starting, stopping, braking, squealing wheels but when it comes to a loco going around in an oval with the same 3 second long engine loop i go mad within minutes. Any more than a single sound loco at a time is just torture.
That's quite a collection! I forgot just how much stuff you had, very impressive. I'm with you on the weathering, most of the locos looked great but there are a few older ones in there that could do with redoing. The parcels 47 is in RES livery and the third 150 is in Regional/provincial "Sprinter" livery. Are you planning on getting the bachmann 90 when it comes out?
hi Terry love the last 08 and the network southeast 33 and the 1 st 37 and the red stripe 37 and the db 66 looks great and the heljan parcel service livery a great collection of locos and some awesome weathering cheers Kevin
Hello! If I hear you correctly, there're all "one of your favourite" :) !!! I understand, I have the same problem, like u I love 'em all !! Bachmann and Heljan models are definetly better than Hornby!! First sentinel shunter in yellow livery is gorgeous and you made a fantastic job weathering all of them! How lucky you are in England, you have a large variety available and affordable models, mainly Bachmann, Hornby, Vitrains and Heljan ! In the continent, a nice models in HO scale cost around 200 pounds but a high detailled loco made by a craftsman is about 700 !! I didn't saw any "Warship'! Too bad, it's really a wonderful loco .... A special thought for the 47573..... !!!!! Tut tuuuttt from Belgium
Your 31 (296) is in 'Construction Sector Livery' mate. Just found a 33 in the same livery on Hattons' website, it suits the livery so well i wish i had a reason to buy it! "Postaler Deliveryer Livery Whatever" also one of my faves haha.
Glebe Road Junction They look good to me ,,,,, the video i have just done with the working crane ,,, my jinty (Only loco) was so so black in other videos I thought what can I use to weather it down a bit,,, I grabbed some of the Mr's make-up powder,,, great I thought its got a brownish tint ,,,, that should be good,,, (not having my proper specks on and been in the bathroom artificial light,,, O yes Proper job,,,, until I got it into day light and realised the powder stuff had sparkly glitter bits in it,,,, It was a bugger to get off couldnt believe how it had stuck,,,
Mate I'm so sorry for you and your loss, that's so sad. I really feel for you bud and I can relate to you. Angel Olivia is a beautiful name. Cheers. Ivi
great video terry its good to look back at older locos and see how your weathering has improved. . . im kind of collecting 37s like you with your 47 i didnt think heljen were that good until now . .. ps a 56 would look nice also as for the 31 i just took the fan out and put a shawplan on in instead . . . .cheers ian
cheers ian...yeah hejan models are fantastic and the best on the market in my opinion. and yes a 56 would look good in my collection and is on the never ending list of must have locos lol.
Great selection! as im a bit of a novice i thought all your weathering was great! would love to see a video of how you do yours, perhaps in the future when you have the time?, anyway, thanks for sharing your collection with us. Cheers John
i did do a weathering video a long time ago but there are so many videos on this subject on youtube that it really is not worth me doing one although everyone does have different methods in achieving the level of grime that suits them.
The 150 in two tone blue and grey is in Regional Railways livery. They were common up in the North West running from Lime Street to Warrington Central I think, I remember them on the Liverpool Lime Street to Manchester Victoria line too. cant ever remember them running further north to Wigan etc but Im sure they must have, They were always dirty!
Great collection there, all really look the part with the weathering, I got one of the Sentinal shunters got it off ebay took a few weeks the get to Aust' went to put a decoder in it and the normal 8 pin doesn't fit, no mention of this in any advertising material so then had to chance up the "special" Hornby 4 pin for it, other than that nice little loco. As always great video thanks for sharing Al
thats all my one does is sit in a siding. i think it's because its a very short wheel base chassis with only four wheel pick up that it don't run well.
I have to be honest and I think that other Peeps might agree, I thought your weathering on the Class 57315 Looked Great it's as I remember them all covered in shite, looks good to me sir Great Work, Well Done!
Great video. Very interesting to see all your stock! The 150 in the livery you were not sure of is the livery which the 150s were delivered in when new
hi terry. Am I right in saying you have an eckon es101 "OFF" indicator for the platform? I recall seeing it somewhere and I think its on your channel. The wee black box that illuminates when a signal is at green. Anyway, I have one, but I wired it up and the bloody thing doesn't light! Bugger! I am on the hunt for spare LED which ECKON claim to offer as replacement spares. However I can only see spare packs of Yellow LED's. I thought from the photo of the OFF indicator that it was a white LED in the unit. If you have one, what colour is your LED is yours? Hope you can help me out...bit pee'd off it doesn't work after I built it, wired it in the a frame etc. Is it a simple 3v 1.8mm LED? Cheers Dave
Hi Dave Oh dear that aint good is it. Yes your right i do have one and i only got as far as building it up and have not yet placed it on the layout....one of a thousand jobs to crack on with in the new year! But i did test it out when i built it and i am sure it was a white light but not 100% on that. I think a yellow light would work just as well tho as a replacement. Terry
Glebe Road Junction Terry, I am an idiot...I had the + and the - wired up wrong. The resistor in the eckon stuff is in the neg wire and I am used to having my resistors in the pos wire, hence it would light, but it works now! You've only got 1000 jobs to do?...I lost count at 3000 for my layout lol. Cheers Dave
Great collection!what time are you modelling as you may get away with a 390 as an 8 car set! Any 390/221/57 help you require feel free to ask as I'm a virgin driver
well anything from the early 80's on wards. but i do like to mostly run trains from the 80's like the 47's etc. a pendo driver...wow i bet that's a cool job.
Oh my goodness, WOW lol! Wot an absolute stonking collection of locos!!!! That is a very impressive fleet!!! Theres noway i cud pick a fave?!!! But, wel done starting with the shunters :D that opening Sentinel shot was brill!!! I had no complaints with any of ur weathering, i thot it all suited?!!! Go on then, wots ur top 5 ;) oh, n Narrowplanet for that custom etched nameplate :) cheers
well its a toss up between the hornby class 08 br blue...or the heljan class 33 network rail or the heljan class 58 in railfreight red stripe. or it could be the hornby class 31.....oooh god i cant choose one...its warping my fragile little mind lol.
Hahaha!!! I cud tel in the video that u liked a lot!! The weathering u hav dun on that 08 u love is brilliant, jst how i like an 08 to look! Infact if u ever start doin comissions let me knw, coz i wud love my 08 to look jst like that!!!
Nice to see your fleet, I like the rail freight 37 best :-) need some weathering lessons I got the same Hornby 08 shunter still in the box, hope I can do mine as well as yours Andy
Great video, thank you. So sorry about your daughter, hard to share but a great idea to name a loco after her. I know what you went through...... Keep up the great work! Tim
Thanks so much for the comment tim. i assume you have been through a similar nightmare as me and hope you found it easier to live with than i have so far. terry
Yes I'm afraid so, yesterday was the three year anniversary of his funeral so it very much hit home when I heard your sad news. My railway is a way to escape.... I'm sure you understand. Stay strong and keep up your great work, your layout is a fantastic piece of work and tribute. Kindest wishes, Tim
so sorry for your loss Tim....it has been two years since we lost angel and although you do learn to live with it it still feels like it all happened yesturday and i think we will always find it hard to get our heads around it all. keep your chin up tho buddy and im always here if you ever need a chat as i find it easier to talk to someone who has experienced the same as me. terry
Hi Terry, the best way to get pendolino coaches are to get them off ebay, Ive got 5 unit setup but it still looks stupid so you need at least nine as you said. -Ben:)
Great looking fleet you have there. I agree on the sound thing - is there any way to turn the damn volume down? Railfreight redstripe rocks. Your weathering looks superb, great job. I didn't know that about Heljan models, not had any problems with mine. Ahhh love the 31 - Railfreight sub sector construction. Disconnect the fans dude - they're terrible and same with the 56s! cheers. Ivi
Thanks for the comment Ivi....i share the same passion as you for the 31's and railfreight red stripe. Disconnecting the fans on the 31's is next on my list too.
people have asked me for this video for such a long time so i thought it was about time i did one...but i did not realize the video would be as long as it is tho lol. terry
How do you keep everything dust free, especially in the loft? Everything looks so well maintained. I love the 33's too, I think the weathering looks fantastic. Andy (agani,lol)
Excellent collection and one question, how will you work the network rail theme into your BR era layout? for example will your tmd depot be a British Rail one or a very early Railtrack/Network Rail variant?
Glebe Road Junction have you noticed with the BR era you have a lot of locos with the same sort of BR blue liveries but with the ultra modern stuff it is the exact opposite, very few locos but tons of different liveries, i love the BR blue era and like you, like the ultimate workhorses that are the Class 47's, also a big fan of the Class 56's
Hi I've been following you for a while now, some time ago you done a video on weathering which I can no longer find also you recommended a book on weathering which I've missed placed the title on. Hope you can advise. Keep up the good work and look forward to seeing more videos and hearing from you. Thanks Dave
Really looking forward to your future updates Terry. Kind regards. John. Oh I almost forgot, can you tell me how you fitted your insulation to your ceiling?
John Bennett Hi John Well it's just rolls of foil insulation and i used an industrial stapler from wickes and just stapled the foil to the wooden beams and for putting it up on the brick walls at either end i just used cans of carpet adhesive again from wickes which worked wonders and has never fallen down in two years. Terry
Hi Terry great video to watch ok yes you have a lot more stock then what we see running then haha I take it back That 31 was railfreight construction sector livery oooo I do feel clever now :P
Very good I enjoyed that. For-someone-who-is-partially-sigh I thought was very good. Though I am GWR man the video is very good. Keep it going I will be followed you and probably asking for tips.
Great video, nice fleet Terry, I love the shunters too, I'm with you on the 47s too. Where did you get your wheels for the Heljan locos from. Cheers Paul
cheers paul...the wheels came from Howes models in oxford as they are the only Heljan supplier in the uk. I think i paid around £17 for a set of wheels on each loco. terry
Thanks Terry I'll check Howes out. I noted you said you don't really like the sound locos in your other video. I have started turning the volume down on my sound locos because they were too loud and I'd end up with an annoying headache. I also think you can only run one at at time if the volume isn't turned down because the noise can be heard all over the layout and it sounds odd. Try it out and see what you think. Cheers Paul
Great video I've put people in the Class 350 and you can see them And I've got a 9 car Class 390 with double motor and it's more trouble then it's worth. So single motor is better.
Glebe Road Junction It's over 2 1/2 years now, but I got one from Modelzone, Trident Trains (Coach on it's own and a Train Set to get another Pantograph coach and the other from EHattons.. I've have got a video on my channel as well.. But it's great when it's moving, but starting it is not easy, too much power from double motors.
Class 97 designation for Departmental locomotives which are used for special or engineering duties, therefore there are several classes all under one No:97
Hi! My name is Rhys and i am a big fan of yours :D Im 12 and I have my own layout! I was wondering, when will there be a London Midland class 172 released?
prob not for a while as i have not worked on the layout for over a month so i need to get some work done before i can do a video. i may do a running video in the next few weeks if i get time.
Owen Evans yes it is from the 80's onwards so im able to run what i like.i dont really run different era stock at the same time....well i try not to anyway.
Oh my god, "37427" is an abomination! Don't think there's any way those nose end could be justified on that. Even if you renumbered it, the nose ends have got buffer beam skirts which were non existent on 37/0s at the time anyway! It also now has two sets of horns as split-box 37s had them in the nose ends behind those grilles you can see either side of the nose-end doors. Just get yourself a bog-standard 37/0 and repaint to large logo blue with 37114's number. This carried LLB and will be accurate in detail. Renumber and getting rid of the rooftop horns and you could just about get away with it. Anyway, enough negativity! Other than that thing, you've got a cracking layout and an excellent fleet of locos!
great video best thing iv watched over the christmas period has tempted me to buy some diesels bachmann and hornby and heljan should pay you for great advertising keep up the good work cheers d d.
In regards to your loco 31 296 (13:20) here is a link which shows all the old BR "Sectors". That particular loco is one under the sector for construction. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trainload_Freight
I wish I had the balls to weather my locos lol...yours look the business tho! Maybe once I have done my 10000000 other jobs I will take the airbrush to my fleet. Cheers Dave
lol yeah the list of things to do just never ends...it just keeps getting longer.
Only half way through the roster so far. You have some great locos there. I'm looking forward to a video of a long running session!
In regards to 37 427, I remember you posting that you'd swapped the noses on this 37 and being told about the details. You could justify the nose swap by saying this one had accident damage and those were the noses that were used in replacement. It's your railway after all!

I don't know of any companies that will just supply custom plates, but TMC do supply and fit custom plates for steam locos so they may be worth asking. Good luck.
thanks you very much for the comment and info mate.
Merry Christmas and a Very Prosperous New Year Terry. Many thanks for sharing all your videos.
Very kind regards. John.
Brilliant collection there. I'm a funny bugger when it comes to DCC sound, i love it when it comes to shunting with lots of starting, stopping, braking, squealing wheels but when it comes to a loco going around in an oval with the same 3 second long engine loop i go mad within minutes. Any more than a single sound loco at a time is just torture.
that is exactly how it makes me feel. sound locos sound good on layouts at exhibitions but not at home for some reason.
Until you stumble upon an American garden layout with about 10 of them running at once. Bells, horns and whistles everywhere!
That's quite a collection! I forgot just how much stuff you had, very impressive. I'm with you on the weathering, most of the locos looked great but there are a few older ones in there that could do with redoing.
The parcels 47 is in RES livery and the third 150 is in Regional/provincial "Sprinter" livery.
Are you planning on getting the bachmann 90 when it comes out?
cheers richard for the info mate....yes the older ones really need looking at again. was it T-CUT you used to remove the layer of grime on your locos?
Glebe Road Junction Yep, T-CUT does the job for me. It takes a while and you'll need to be careful, but it does work well.
hi Terry love the last 08 and the network southeast 33 and the 1 st 37 and the red stripe 37 and the db 66 looks great and the heljan parcel service livery a great collection of locos and some awesome weathering cheers Kevin
That's an excellent weathering job you've done on 08 402! I would be so proud if that were me :)

Awesome collection!!! Never seen a collection like this before!! Regards Onno.
Your 31 (296) is in 'Construction Sector Livery' mate. Just found a 33 in the same livery on Hattons' website, it suits the livery so well i wish i had a reason to buy it! "Postaler Deliveryer Livery Whatever" also one of my faves haha.
cheers mick
You sure have got a great selection Terry , with a lot of work gone in to weathering
still more work to be done on a lot of the locos yet dave.
A great selection of stock you have there Terry ...and a great deal of work on the weathering front.
STEVIE B.
Thanks Steve...still lots more to do to them all yet.
Terry
What a great fleet you have there, there are a few you have that can tempt me in getting.
Happy Modelling,
Phil
cheers phil. lots more to get yet tho
That BR "Sprinter" class 150 is in the Provincial/Regional Railways Livery
Great collection Terry ,,, they all look stunning,,, outstanding weathering
some of the older weathering needs redoing again tho!
Glebe Road Junction They look good to me ,,,,, the video i have just done with the working crane ,,, my jinty (Only loco) was so so black in other videos I thought what can I use to weather it down a bit,,, I grabbed some of the Mr's make-up powder,,, great I thought its got a brownish tint ,,,, that should be good,,, (not having my proper specks on and been in the bathroom artificial light,,, O yes Proper job,,,, until I got it into day light and realised the powder stuff had sparkly glitter bits in it,,,, It was a bugger to get off couldnt believe how it had stuck,,,
lol so you have now nick named the loco barbie lol.
Glebe Road Junction Nice one ,,,, i like it,,,, next time she runs ,,, barbie is her name
Mate I'm so sorry for you and your loss, that's so sad. I really feel for you bud and I can relate to you. Angel Olivia is a beautiful name. Cheers. Ivi
Thanks for the kind words Ivi.
Terry
great video terry its good to look back at older locos and see how your weathering has improved. . . im kind of collecting 37s like you with your 47 i didnt think heljen were that good until now . .. ps a 56 would look nice also as for the 31 i just took the fan out and put a shawplan on in instead . . . .cheers ian
cheers ian...yeah hejan models are fantastic and the best on the market in my opinion. and yes a 56 would look good in my collection and is on the never ending list of must have locos lol.
Great selection! as im a bit of a novice i thought all your weathering was great! would love to see a video of how you do yours, perhaps in the future when you have the time?, anyway, thanks for sharing your collection with us.
Cheers
John
i did do a weathering video a long time ago but there are so many videos on this subject on youtube that it really is not worth me doing one although everyone does have different methods in achieving the level of grime that suits them.
The 150 in two tone blue and grey is in Regional Railways livery.
They were common up in the North West running from Lime Street to Warrington Central I think, I remember them on the Liverpool Lime Street to Manchester Victoria line too. cant ever remember them running further north to Wigan etc but Im sure they must have,
They were always dirty!
yeah i tried to copy the amount of filth when i weathered it.
Great collection there, all really look the part with the weathering, I got one of the Sentinal shunters got it off ebay took a few weeks the get to Aust' went to put a decoder in it and the normal 8 pin doesn't fit, no mention of this in any advertising material so then had to chance up the "special" Hornby 4 pin for it, other than that nice little loco. As always great video thanks for sharing
Al
yes i had the same issue with the decoder. but it does now have the 4pin decoder in now and it still does not run well.
Thanks I was thinking it was just me, may be have delve a bit deeper, or may be park it in a siding with a few wagons Al
thats all my one does is sit in a siding. i think it's because its a very short wheel base chassis with only four wheel pick up that it don't run well.
What a great collection. Few I wouldn't mind myself LOL. Your class 150 is in Regional Railways livery. Cracking DMU I have two in that livery ☺☺
yeah i really like that 150 and would like another to go with it and run it as a four car unit.
Very nice collection Terry!!
I realy need to do video list of my 115 bachmann class 37s and projects😊
lol good luck with that mate...should only take you around 5 hours to do lol.
I have to be honest and I think that other Peeps might agree, I thought your weathering on the Class 57315 Looked Great it's as I remember them all covered in shite, looks good to me sir Great Work, Well Done!
Great video. Very interesting to see all your stock! The 150 in the livery you were not sure of is the livery which the 150s were delivered in when new
so was it just an unbranded livery then?
Basically. That livery later had its sprinter wording replaced. It then became Regional Railways livery as far as I know.
I have got an Hornby class 67 Arriva running with Arriva Coaches and Arriva DVT, London Midland Class 350 and 3 Arriva class 158s

My personal favourite from your collection is the 150 in the livery you are unsure of (BR sprinter livery).🚆🚎🚎
You certainly have lots of trains. Great video. Very interesting.
Nice to see your fleet, I like the rail freight 37 best :-) need some weathering lessons I got the same Hornby 08 shunter still in the box, hope I can do mine as well as yours
Andy
the hornby 08 is one of my favorites because of the weathering.
Great video, thank you.
So sorry about your daughter, hard to share but a great idea to name a loco after her.
I know what you went through......
Keep up the great work!
Tim
Thanks so much for the comment tim. i assume you have been through a similar nightmare as me and hope you found it easier to live with than i have so far.
terry
Yes I'm afraid so, yesterday was the three year anniversary of his funeral so it very much hit home when I heard your sad news.
My railway is a way to escape.... I'm sure you understand. Stay strong and keep up your great work, your layout is a fantastic piece of work and tribute.
Kindest wishes,
Tim
so sorry for your loss Tim....it has been two years since we lost angel and although you do learn to live with it it still feels like it all happened yesturday and i think we will always find it hard to get our heads around it all.
keep your chin up tho buddy and im always here if you ever need a chat as i find it easier to talk to someone who has experienced the same as me.
terry
Wonderful collection! .......Steve
thanks steve
Very good vid love all your locos mate and layout coming on a treat
cheers matey
Hi Terry, the best way to get pendolino coaches are to get them off ebay, Ive got 5 unit setup but it still looks stupid so you need at least nine as you said. -Ben:)
thats what i feared but not sure i want to pay out all that money.
Great looking fleet you have there. I agree on the sound thing - is there any way to turn the damn volume down? Railfreight redstripe rocks. Your weathering looks superb, great job. I didn't know that about Heljan models, not had any problems with mine. Ahhh love the 31 - Railfreight sub sector construction.

Postal delivery livery! Lovely stuff, sir! You're a modelling god!
lol GOD...more like DOG lol.
Glebe Road Junction
That reminds me of the one about the dyslexic, agnostic insomniac. He lay awake at night, wondering if there was a Dog or not!
lol very funny.
Good parade of locos and some lovely locos
still more to add to the collection yet.
I really enjoyed that. Must have a go at doing a roster video myself :)
people have asked me for this video for such a long time so i thought it was about time i did one...but i did not realize the video would be as long as it is tho lol.
terry
where are you we miss your vids
The last 150 is in Regional Railways Sprinter Livery Leeds/York If that helps you Terry
How do you keep everything dust free, especially in the loft? Everything looks so well maintained. I love the 33's too, I think the weathering looks fantastic. Andy (agani,lol)
not sure mate...guess im just lucky.
Nice collection Terry, the commentary is very quiet although it picked up after a while. Andy
yeah it was a little quiet not sure why tho...must of had my hand over the mic.
great collection. the Pendolino run as 9 or 11 coaches
sod getting 11 coaches for it....9 will be expensive enough lol.
Excellent collection and one question, how will you work the network rail theme into your BR era layout? for example will your tmd depot be a British Rail one or a very early Railtrack/Network Rail variant?
well i have been thinking of changing eras as and when for each running video and just changing the scenery to suit.
well that's the plan anyway.
Glebe Road Junction have you noticed with the BR era you have a lot of locos with the same sort of BR blue liveries but with the ultra modern stuff it is the exact opposite, very few locos but tons of different liveries, i love the BR blue era and like you, like the ultimate workhorses that are the Class 47's, also a big fan of the Class 56's
b17marko yeah i really like the 47's and i still need to get myself a 56 to add to the list yet.
Hi I've been following you for a while now, some time ago you done a video on weathering which I can no longer find also you recommended a book on weathering which I've missed placed the title on.
Hope you can advise.
Keep up the good work and look forward to seeing more videos and hearing from you.
Thanks Dave
The book you are referring to is called airbrushing for model railways by George Dent. Hope this helps mate.

Hi thanks for getting back to me , keep up the good work and look forward to your update
Dave
Hopefully i will have another video to post in the next few weeks.
Really looking forward to your future updates Terry. Kind regards. John.
Oh I almost forgot, can you tell me how you fitted your insulation to your ceiling?
John Bennett Hi John
Well it's just rolls of foil insulation and i used an industrial stapler from wickes and just stapled the foil to the wooden beams and for putting it up on the brick walls at either end i just used cans of carpet adhesive again from wickes which worked wonders and has never fallen down in two years.
Terry
Hi Terry great video to watch ok yes you have a lot more stock then what we see running then haha I take it back
That 31 was railfreight construction sector livery oooo I do feel clever now :P
lol check you out with the correct livery lol. cheers dude.
Yes it's my dream job I've driven so much great traction from hst to 390's
31296 is in construction sector I believe
That class 150 that you didn't know the livery of is in Regional Railways livery
oh yes so it is. thanks for the info.
Very good I enjoyed that.
For-someone-who-is-partially-sigh I thought was very good.
Though I am GWR man the video is very good.
Keep it going I will be followed you and probably asking for tips.
Cheers mate glad you enjoyed it.
Terry
Great video, nice fleet Terry, I love the shunters too, I'm with you on the 47s too.
Where did you get your wheels for the Heljan locos from.
Cheers Paul
cheers paul...the wheels came from Howes models in oxford as they are the only Heljan supplier in the uk. I think i paid around £17 for a set of wheels on each loco.
terry
Thanks Terry
I'll check Howes out.
I noted you said you don't really like the sound locos in your other video. I have started turning the volume down on my sound locos because they were too loud and I'd end up with an annoying headache. I also think you can only run one at at time if the volume isn't turned down because the noise can be heard all over the layout and it sounds odd. Try it out and see what you think.
Cheers
Paul
oh right i did not know the sound could be turned down.i will give it a go.cheers.
Yeah, cant remember which cv it is but my 37 used to kill me after 5 minutes, I switched it off too until I read you could adjust it to suit :-)
03:40 Lancaster/Spitfire/Multiple Merlin engine flypast?!
Nice...but i have to say i thought the weathering was good on the ones you didnt like and vice-versa !
Awesome lovely locos
cheers ben.
Your class 31 296 is construction en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trainload_Freight Nice seeing your collection.
thanks for the info michael.
terry
Great video
I've put people in the Class 350 and you can see them
And I've got a 9 car Class 390 with double motor and it's more trouble then it's worth. So single motor is better.
where did you get the class 390 from?
The Class 390 is the Virgin Pendolino. I got my 9 car set but working out the coach numbers and buying them as and when I saw them.
sorry i meant where did you get coaches from as i cant seem to find any.
Glebe Road Junction It's over 2 1/2 years now, but I got one from Modelzone, Trident Trains (Coach on it's own and a Train Set to get another Pantograph coach and the other from EHattons.. I've have got a video on my channel as well.. But it's great when it's moving, but starting it is not easy, too much power from double motors.
No 56s' and no Load Haul. Shocking!
wow so much trains !! well done !
and the list keeps getting longer.
lucky. you have the money and time on your hands
da stralian ambo i dont have either really but it does take time to collect them all.
Why does the Network rail 37's number begin with 97 ?
Class 97 designation for Departmental locomotives which are used for special or engineering duties, therefore there are several classes all under one No:97
your mystery 150 is in provincial livery i think!
yes you right it is.
Hi! My name is Rhys and i am a big fan of yours :D Im 12 and I have my own layout! I was wondering, when will there be a London Midland class 172 released?
thanks for following my progress Rhys....not sure that there will be a 172 released anytime soon mate but im sure bachmann will do one eventually tho.
Yes I think they will do one but it seems like the 172's have been with London Midland for ages!! :)
08402 looked awesome
yeah its my favorite.
Thanks
No 56 or 58. ? Nether the less you have an amazing selection
yes there is a 58 but no 56 sadly but i will add one to the list one day tho.
Have a look at my local model shop m8. Peters spairs He has two 85101 locos in stock and a couple of br blue 85's
does he...ohhh i will take a look now.
When are u doing your next vid I miss them
prob not for a while as i have not worked on the layout for over a month so i need to get some work done before i can do a video.
i may do a running video in the next few weeks if i get time.
nothing wrong with the length of the video.. i could what this type all day.
You've got a great flee!t
cheers mate. more to add yet.
Good to hear! You don't really have a specific era, it seems to be late 80's to the present day, but that's interesting.
Owen Evans yes it is from the 80's onwards so im able to run what i like.i dont really run different era stock at the same time....well i try not to anyway.
I see, your layout suits modern image stock as well as 1980's era rolling stock so it works nicely.
Oh my god, "37427" is an abomination! Don't think there's any way those nose end could be justified on that. Even if you renumbered it, the nose ends have got buffer beam skirts which were non existent on 37/0s at the time anyway!
It also now has two sets of horns as split-box 37s had them in the nose ends behind those grilles you can see either side of the nose-end doors. Just get yourself a bog-standard 37/0 and repaint to large logo blue with 37114's number. This carried LLB and will be accurate in detail. Renumber and getting rid of the rooftop horns and you could just about get away with it.
Anyway, enough negativity! Other than that thing, you've got a cracking layout and an excellent fleet of locos!
It may not be prototypical but i like it. I'm not that into the real thing so it is fine in model form. Sorry to disappoint mate.
merry christmas
happy new year!
great video best thing iv watched over the christmas period has tempted me to buy some diesels bachmann and hornby and heljan should pay you for great advertising keep up the good work cheers d d.
cheers davros....

In regards to your loco 31 296 (13:20) here is a link which shows all the old BR "Sectors". That particular loco is one under the sector for construction.

Yes it's my dream job I've driven so much great traction from hst to 390's
