7:30: I like the little rumble on your Lima class 33- it almost sounds like a real diesel!

Your 2-car DMU is a Class 110, built by Birmingham Railway Carriage & Wagon Works (BRCW) for the Calder Valley line in West Yorkshire/Lancashire - all were allocated to Hammerton Street Depot in Bradford after 1976, and later Neville Hille Depot in Leeds after 1984 (although the second batch were initially allocated to Netwon Heath in Manchester). They lasted in service from 1963 to 1991, and were refurbished in 1979/80. Two units are preserved - a 2-car unit on the Lakeside & Haverthwaite Railway; and a 3-car unit on the East Lancashire Railway.

Another great budget model railways video.....Mike,I wonder if you realise how much you ‘ give ‘ to this hobby of ours?.....I’ve followed you from the very early days of cardboard base boards,home wood, rattan central ,3D printing,and your own merchandise ,and even your own exhibition!....your models and your videos are some of the best on you tube,and it is small wonder that you now have over 20,000 subscribers....I’m sure you have encouraged a lot of younger modellers because of these.....just want to say,brilliant job,well done and keep up the good work!🚂🚃

Thanks for the video the 33 has got a good grunt sound love it. Love the layout and watching the movement session!!😎🚃🚃🇬🇧

7:28 Who needs DCC sound when the motor already sounds like a real diesel?

i agree with the below comment... that 33 doesn't need a sound chip in sounds awesome already... live your shunting sessions... ( right that's it I'm off too the train room to do a bit of overdue shunting ) ATB Neil from Dunkirk

15 quid for a DMU, Bargin. Great little running session. Clever getting sound on a DC loco ;-)

Ahh BR Blue diesels! My favourite period 🤗 As a child of the 70’s and a train spotter in the 80’s, this is the period I have the fondest memories of. Thanks for sharing 😎👏

Nice one Mike, just goes to prove you can have great fun with end to end and termini.

Pure escapism; and nothing wrong with that.

Great video. I just ordered the old coronation Scott set from the 90s. I had it as a kid so I’m really excited about it.

The class 33 sounds a lot like a real diesel. Good video though.

Great locos and set...background adds depth when viewed....

Mike, I can't multi-task either. When I do my Insta live streams I end up either stumbling over my words or forgetting what I am doing! Anyway another great video from you, so thanks for sharing!

10:25 Hopefully the foreman didn't see that! :O That's a nice little layout, Mike! Looks like you're having a lot of fun with it!

That uncoupling tool will also work to throw Caboose industries ground throws. I have a skewer with the bent paperclip on one end and the narrowed point on the other for uncoupling knuckle couplers. Cheers!

Love these shunting videos...glad to hear you've more planned, Andrew 🙂👍

Get hold of some tough clear plastic packaging. Cut out small strips and tuck each end under the sleepers so it creates a small bump. It should give you some free almost invisible uncouplers

Thank you, that’s made my day. Blue diesels and having some fun, what more could you want.

was just thinking the same as comment below..diesel sounds really good.....fun video to watch...cheers..ade

The two car 110 in all-blue first appeared around 1989, but I have the 3-car earlier version in 'refurbished' white/blue livery. The model first appeared in the Hornby 1982 catalogue. It's supposed to evoke the Calder Valley route.

That Lima 33 sounds fairly realistic so I would leave it alone. The driver of the DMU at the end could be in a bit of bother with management though...

Another fun video watching trains and your lovely little layouts. Great fun!

Very nice running session. Blue diesels are great.

Hurrah! Thank-you! Very relaxing and enjoyable in these unnecessarily stressful times. Very best wishes to all three of you 😀

Another good video! Really interesting to hear some of the historic stuff as well! Really relaxing!

Enjoyed that. Looking forward to the next running session.

A good demonstration of the layout's potential for complex shunting operations. Go steady with that controller, though!

Hi Mike 😎👋 Another fab running session, always a real treat to watch. I am sorry to hear that you continue to have tooth trouble.. Can be very unpleasant. Hope gets sorted soon 😉👍 Try not to be over critical of yourself whilst filming and running trains, you are doing a great job 😉👍 A great mix of trains and again very enjoyable to watch 😊 Take care, keep yourselves safe & well and I look forward to the next update. Best wishes 😎👍👍

Hi. Nice video and thanks for the diesels.

Another great little video. Well done.

great video..loving the diesels

Another great video, very relaxing to watch. I also have a LIMA class 33, I also enjoy running it on my layout 🙂

My Lima 33 one of the most reliable locos I’ve got too. More reliable than a some of my more modern locos

Yes that "centre" off on the controller has caught me out a fair few times (er... lots!)

I do love br blue Th dmu is a 127 dmu

Enjoyed yet again. Thank you.

Nice work I totally get how this would help exercise your patience levels

Nice video, I love to shunt. I have that Lima 33 it is brilliant.

could be worth putting a cd motor in the 33 to improve it's running performance - I've done it to a few of my locos and the performance difference is incredible

Your right about pickup goods it continued in Ireland until the 70’s and the class 121’s, 141’s/181’s and B class ended their lives as station pilots as did WT class number 4

Like its compactness...put some people and bagage and barrels and freight lying around...

Another fantastic video Mike. in the next session you could mix sone steam and BR green? That would be v nice to watch. I can’t wait for the next one.

Excellent video.

Another great running session with BR Blue. Loved the DMU. It looks similar to my N gauge Graham Farish Class 108 set. Wish I could have bought mine as cheaply as your OO gauge version. N gauge does seem to be more expensive generally at least here in the states.

great stuff.

Another calming video

Brilliant as always....... Love the prices you seem to get your rolling stock for..... And you don't need automatic points or magic uncoupling. That Class 33 seems to be just fine, its old its working its noisy Say Hello to Douglas.... hope the studies are going well. p.s. Your filming is just fine the boy is redundant

Really like this! Further to yesterday's discussion on the Beginner's shunting layout, I think this trackplan is probably better for me and my lad. To get this much into a 4ft board is great! Your channel is really helping this newbie get started. Thanks again!

The little dmu at the start looks like a class 110 I think sorry if I’m wrong, amazing video!

Good bit of shunting

Those are cool locos

Great video and I have 2 of those CCTs from Iima and got them both for just under £20 and mine both in blue .

Fine dunning session. Dont bother if locos are scale correct or not (comming from me: I run Lenz 0 Scale, exactly the opposit price range!), but your session looks good! Thx for posting!

i missed your premiere! atleast its a great video

Would like to see you doing a figure 8 layout...

Great video Mike and very enjoyable watch.I keep bidding on Lima Locos but i havent won one yet lol :) I want a blue bobo!

That Lima diesel needs some gearbox cleaning, they often have horrible casting marks on the gears. If you want true crawl control, convert it to a cd motor and add a dcc decoder with F3 (shunt mode) active for voltage limiting and precision control

Nice bit of variety today! True enough about branch traffic, but then there were so many more fright workings. I thankfully see much of it from my driving cab to and from Thameshaven and Ripple Lane on our line, c2c (or historically, LTSR). Indeed, until not long ago, Ripple Lane was but a shadow of its former self and Thameshaven desolate and ripped up after cessation of oil traffic. However, both are now enjoying a renaissance, the former as a now busy junction for domestic traffic to meet the Channel Tunnel Rail Link and the latter due to the new deep-water container terminal. There is also a new terminal on the site of Tilbury Power Station and traffic from the docks is up too, so I am actually spoilt in modern terms!😎 Great to see this wee gem really coming into its own again. Any progress planned for that wee port layout you were doing recently? 👍🤔

hi great layout hope you like mine diesel dave

DMU is a class 110

nice work as ever could I ask what's happening with the loft lay out how's it progressing ?

Hi Mike, Other great video. I reallly enjoyed it. I do love your running sessions. You didnt get back to my facebook message about the bits that you can have but I've just looked through my emails and found your address from a previous send. I've just sent the parcel so it should be with you soon. consider it a very very early christmas present lol. keeo up the great work . Jack

So when you bought your second hand locos did you service them and restore them or are you running them in the condition you bought them?

Can you put a link to this classic rail we've heard so much of? Might have to have a look for some nice stock for a layout I'm currently building

Interesting videos, I have about 7 class 33 and none sound like yours,. I think you have a cog issue or dirty commutator. Have you checked bushes ? Cheers

Are Hornby 0-4-0s, three or five pole motor in general? I am told that 5 poles run smoother than 3. Hence I wonder which type these are.?

Were is the layout based in sheffield

hi mike i was wondering when u were doing the giveaway

Silly question, maybe, but where is your power feed connected?

Hang on a second! Are you sure you don´t have 3 class 06s? We´ve seen this blue one and a green one but in some of your earlier videos there was a mysterious dark blue one that according to the Hornby guide doesn´t exist, maybe it´s some kind of conspiracy!!! Also am very familiar in issues with derailing rolling stock, my dads old stuff from the 70s just sits in a box, talk about troublesome trucks!

Class 110 BR DMU
