Hi Peter. I use Heljan magnetic couplings on the detailed ends of several locos but I’m very impressed with your design. Would you consider showing us exactly how you make them?

That's a lovely fleet of locos you have. I have several of the Accurascale 37s myself, and love the look of the Rails/Bachmann 47, but can't justify one of those for myself. I do have the Cavalex 56 120 on the way too, so loved seeing your preview/review of it. Thanks for posting this video.

Stunning model. Im with you Peter, doesnt need weathering.

Great video and such a lovely loco. 👍👍

Looks & sounds superb. 👍 Can’t wait for mine to arrive…..

Great video pete !! 👏

Hi Peter Ron here in the man flat ha ha was enjoying your latest video showing the running of your Cavelex class 56 when my flat bell wrang and the DPD driver brought me my Cavelex 56 l have gone for a rail freight one 56077, unfortunately l wasn't able to get a sound fitted one as Rails had run out so l had to get a dcc ready one and Cavelex are waiting on finishing of their ESU loksound decoders but they told me they shouldn't be long so l will have to admire it from afar for a while . I agree what a superb model anyway enjoy. Ron @ Willenhall Parkway

Awesome collection of locos. These new models from Cavalex are going to give Hornby and Bachmann a run for their money! Thanks for uploading.

Hi Peter. I'm still waiting on my 3 Cavalex class 56s. A gorgeous model.

Great to see you, Pete and a grand tour of the layout. Of course, it would not be a visit to the man-shed without some awesome stock to see. That is a fantastic 56 and the usual mix of your amazing fleet! Stay well and best wishes!

Always a pleasure to watch your video and amazing layout !

Superb Peter. You have some fabulous locos. I need to save up!

Brilliant Peter superb loco and running.

Stunning

Beautiful job peter love the layout ❤

What a novel way to show off some of your wagons Peter. Great sequences really enjoyed it something different regards John

Amazing locomotive from Cavalex Peter, I’ve just had my email from Rails to say my pair of 56’s are on their way and can’t wait 😃👍

Fabulous crawl

Hi Peter lovely looking loco and so quiet. Great little running session as well. Hope you've trade marked that little coupling or west hill wagon works will be producing them. Its a great idea, might have a go at making one myself from a broken west hill magnetic coupling cheers for now Andy

Very nice grid

hi peter , love your little device to couple up , fantastic looking loco , think all the manufacturers are now going to struggle with accurascale life time warranty , even on older purchases as well , game changing indeed , hope all well , best wishes , john

I love the new loco Peter.

Cracking model Peter, if they do a Fastline livery, I'd have 1 in a heartbeat. Thanks for the review.

Hi Peter, Nice video on the Cavalex 56 and running session the 08 had a big part 👍 seen so many videos on the 56s so rang rails up this morning to see when mine is coming,because I pre ordered mine 12 months ago they didn’t no the price £30 deposit paid I’m in a queue to be contacted about authorised payment, off on holiday Wednesday night so got to wait till Friday the 9th February for it now😢 cheers Al

😮Hello Peter. Great session buddy. Love the 56 what quality. As are all your lovely 37s. Seen your couplings before but don't they work a treat. Gronk shunting was brilliant, didn't know what was coming next.😀 Same as me Peter don't do any weathering at all. Nice variety of locos. Thanks Peter. Stay safe. Pete.

Hi peter l am new to your channel and loved your class 56 it’s funny l was only looking at the Bachmann class 47 on my local model shop website which happens to rails of Sheffield and now I have seen yours having a run love the ROG livery I am thinking of placing an order for one does it use a plux 22 decoder if so I have a spare in my loco box what are the couplings that you use they are very effective and prototypical as Charlie would say sometimes I see you like your class 37’s me too and 47’s any way peter take care look forward to seeing your next video Kev Beighton Parkway Sheffield

Hi Peter. Nice model there and nice work. I had the DC Rail 56091 model with no sound as I am a DC user. I like the detail of it but mine struggles with my 8 tank cars and my track is 5/6 radius curved Kato track 😊. Not sure why this is the case as your train seems okay 👍. All the best. Peter.

Nice 🙂😊

Hi Peter nice review, i really quite fancy one of these but id imagine theyl sell out by the time i save up for one now, ill keep an eye out though also a very enjoyable running session, also if you start doing commisions for converting dmus/emus to be towed or the rail operations group coaches let me know ;), look forward to the next video. Tom

Sadly the pcb on mine has burnt out and rails of Sheffield seemed well aware of it. A new one is on its way/ let’s hope it sorts the problem out

Hi Peter, great review and running session, I have a Hornby class 56 in Railfreight grey livery which I cherish, the Cavalex version is on another level in every way so I’m tempted to get one dcc ready, I’d like to hear the factory sound against the Legomanbiffo sound for the Class 56 so I can see which one I would like, Hornby are so far behind Accurascale and Cavalex it’s not funny! Like you I’m not a fan of weathering on rolling stock in anyway, it’s like Marmite you can love it or hate it, the working roof fans are a bonus I just hope they perform better than the dreadful units Hornby throw into their 21pin HST packs, thanks for sharing.

Hi Peter where do you get the couplings you use from? Cheers

Hi Peter as another has asked how did you make or where did you get the couplings that you fitted to your locos from?

Hi, I love your layout, so much going on and really good trains, thank you for showing us. Please could you tell me where you got your yard gates from, the ones going over the points into the siding? I have looked everywhere for gates like this an can't seem to find any. Thank you.

Peter, I meant to ask, do the middle wheels in the bogie float up and down as well as slide side to side, it isn't clear on the video?

Hi Peter Layout looking good, where did you get the Balfour Beatty engineers crane?

Good Afternoon Peter, I hope you're well Wow really nice class 56 really like it. Can i ask your points on your layout are they standard Hornby set track ones? Cheers Deano

Hi Pete a good video i use hunt magnetic couplings did you purchase the loco magnetic coupling or make them yourself ? i would like to know Kind regards Martin

Hi Pete, Another Great Video as usual..!👌 The 56 sound is Fantastic and I may just buy one now..!🤔 I have a question: On the DRS Class 37405, it was produced by Bachmann with a printed multiple working socket. On your one you have fitted an orange socket piece, as like 37424 & 37425… Where do I purchase that piece please (well x2 for each end)? Please Advise Many Thanks Graham.

Not heard of that brand before.

hi there peter where do you get you loco couplings from

Hi Peter where do you get your drivers from? Cheers

thank you again Peter, a really good running session the new model looks the part among the "quality" fleet you have, can I ask how you fit the crew in the Dapol 68 I do not have your skills and am reluctant to hack my model apart to fit a crew man? regards Ron

Hi Peter. My eyes could be deceiving me but it looks like you’ve fitted a driver. If so, how did you find getting the seat out and back in, as I’m struggling to remove it and I’m concerned about snapping the peg that sits in the hole? Anyone else successfully fitted a driver? Thanks 👍🏻🚂

Surprised you didn't go for the DCR 56091 or Colas 56049, got both of those for myself with sound. Yes the Cavalex Class 56 is really up there with Accurascale's Class 37 and Class 55 for quality and sound, Cav & Alex really nailed it and now looking forward to my Cavalex DCR & Cappagh Class 60's later this year. Just a couple of points. 1. Not a fan of the loco being screwed onto a plinth without any protection for the loco facing up apart from the foam resting on top along the box, go back to using ice-cube packaging please. Also noticed my loco's had moved to an angle on the plinth within the box which may cause issues (apparently it has, see RMweb Cavalex Class 56 thread) but if you need to keep putting the loco back in the box for logistical reasons then having this method will be a pain. 2. Jury is out on not having all-wheel drive but instead Cavalex have gone for AIA-AIA configuration whereas every other manufacturers apply all-wheel drive to their loco's, believe Cavalex have their reasons but we shall see how this pans out going forward on people's layouts pulling heavy trains especially with inclines. To be honest not sure why having all-wheel drive now appears to be an issue and/or since Chadwick's video the other week, never seen anyone moan about it until Charlie's video and at the end of the day he had an issue with his track and for me there was too much focus on Accurascale's Class 37 which was unfair considering it had nothing to do with Charlies track issues. 3. I configured the loco's via Lokprogrammer to have the cab lights switch off after moving off and coming back on when stopped, IMO they should be configured like that out of the box and for me an annoying aspect from Bachmann as well but you can argue either way. Great job from Cavalex and they have my full support for bringing out products like this along with Accurascale & Revolution Trains. Cheers Steve

whats next peter

Hello.please could you enlighten me on something here regarding Accurscale products. i don't know what they are up to. but i get an email. here is our New release. go to the sight.nearly everything advertised is sold out. first day. i am sure they up to something in regards of limited production.(keep prices high)? so now with Cavalex and Helen making top end OO. and i am just starting out in this gauge. i avoid them like the Plague. so instead ordered a Helen class 47 and now will purposely purchase other make first!. don't care about there Guarantee,

*** WARNING *** Peter, this is very important. I am alarmed that you have highlighted the Accurascale lifetime warranty announcement at its initial face value, without explaining its restrictions and exemptions contained within it. This is giving your viewers a false sense of security about the actual cover being offered. The ACCURASCALE WARRANTY, welcome as it is, is only a "LIMITED" lifetime warranty, NOT an UNLIMITED warranty!**** READ THE WARRANTY CONDITIONS and understand the exclusions, this is critical or you could be caught out! Unless the model was bought brand new in your name from an approved retailer (NOT EBAY) or direct from Accurascale themselves; has been kept in perfect, untouched, un-weathered cosmetic condition along with ALL of its packaging, then you are NOT necessarily covered for repairs. If sent back, you may not even get the same model back! It is a NON TRANSFERABLE warranty so only the initial buyer has any cover at all for that loco and NOT a SECOND HAND purchaser. Please read the warranty and ask all your viewers to do the same. Regards Julian
