For me, if I preordered something and is expecting to get it, I would honestly treat that money as not existing anymore.

Maybe you dont have the responsibilitys of others, depending on circumstances that could cause problems.

IT people certainly know how to make a thread boring.🙄

Lots more videos added to enjoy, mainly 2013 & 2014

After a 10 year break from posting my accusition of bachmanns class 20s 308&309 have inspired me to upload some videos i did of them on the Autumn Highlander 2013 railtour. Day 1 out of 4 uploaded so far. If interested or you were on the tour search for autumn highlander drs class 20. (Parts 1 to 9). Day 2 the first and probably only pair of class 20s to fort william tommorow. Enjoy!

Must be my eyesight. Too many years modelling 2mm! 😂 
Cracking looking model though.

 

Its years of looking at models with the wrong rake and angle. Hours of filing the old lima model and custom made windows made a slight difference! The Hornby one was much better but still iffy.

Hi Fran, I have had a look at the blue and think the Bachmann is probably a tad light and yours a bit dark. 

I had a look at coach roofs too. It does seem that your pic shows a black roof but it think most came out with a dark grey which weathered down to an almost black. 

I took a few pics with the phone so not great quality but certainly show coach ends being black and the roof dark grey.

I remember well the first trans pennine coaches being introduced used to travel on them a lot. They had black roofs.

I wasent going to order a class 60, however after 56019 shaking the foundations ive ordered 60061, hope it sounds as good, have every confidence. Well impressed👍

Deleted, wrong section

The 2014 one is perfect for an ex works loco and to my eyes is the best. The first photo matches an age worn one. Whats jumps out though is how crude that model looks now. Low hanging fruit with decent sound springs to mind!

To think having working marker lights made us smile a few years ago! I for one am a massive fan of esu chips, also like zimo, thats just preference. Im going to just enjoy the golden age of model trains we are enjoying without picking the bones out of it and becoming a coding type geek!

I’m not sure you’ve entirely understood the design of the floating centre axle, and I have explained on your YouTube channel exactly why this model doesn’t need all axle drive. 
 

The 56 was designed by a Mechanical Engineer, to provide maximum tractive effort. The 60 will be exactly the same. 
 

There is a YouTube video showing the 56, with a train weighing three times the amount of your short TEA rake, starting on a helix without out any wheel slip whatsoever. 
 

The biggest question here I guess is: Why would you want to make what is possibly the best RTR locomotive the U.K. market has ever seen…..more inefficient?

Im sure all will be revealed in a splendid self indulgent, niave youtube review!

Looking forward to seeing the review video🤣

Is the A/S uprated H66 still going to be built using depleted Uranium?

H66 came in at 2nd to your own Class 55 Deltic!

Al.

I want some of what you have been smoking!🤣

Got my 56019 today, super impressed guys, fantastic job, sounds incredible👍

Really looking forward to getting my 56019, cant wait to make my own mind up about it. Is strange how people do youtube reviews, seem to have an overinflated view of their opinion in my eyes!😄

Thats absolutely 50 002👍

Aah - my mistake; I would have understood if he had said motor BEARINGS.

 

CJI.

Bearings have moving parts bushes dont, they are bushes not brushes!

The early electrics 81-86 were a darker shade of blue

Great video but “communator”? 🤣

Any need? A guy saying how to solve a problem.🙄

There dosent seem to be the sound or failing motor issues with Bachmann?

Should motors be expected to fail?
