Cheers. I like to go for more muted colours and avoid the bright greens. :-)

A closer look will follow very shortly. My look at the model is not focused on driving sales. It’s to share the details with others. It’s really up to people watching whether they want to buy.

@@DeanPark yes fair point but a good review will go a long way in helping potential customers

Haha…those implements left the kitchen years ago. And they won’t be returning 😝

I’m chuffed that you think it’s worth trying to recreate, so thanks! 😊

Thanks Clive. Look after yourself! Cheers. Dave.

It’s a woodland scenics product. So any stockist of their stuff will have it!

Yeah sure! All gauges. You can stretch it pretty thin.

Hi Bob. I’m sorry to hear about your recent diagnosis. I wish you all the best with your treatment. I bought the class 66 prostate one as it’s a cause very close to me, having had family members being diagnosed and beaten prostate cancer. Therefore it’s a very special purchase for me. If you keep an eye on eBay, I’m sure they will start to pop up for sale. Best wishes. Dave

@@DeanPark 2 at the moment on eBay both grossly overpriced. I think I might go for one though as I just must have one. You know what it's like when the bug bites! Chears again Dave - Keep up the great work.

Hi, thanks. Oh that’s Simple…..an iPhone! :-) saves buying a larger,expensive hand held camera. It does 4k and I put it on tripods to keep it steady in the tightest of spots.

Hi, I’m unaware of how n gauge turnouts are wired. I suspect you don’t have to make these mods. But refer to the leaflet in with the point, or peco are usually very good with advice.

Hi, glad you found it easy to follow :-) cheers.

Thanks. Glad you found it easy to follow. I wish this video had been around when I started off!….so I was determined to share my experience to help others. Cheers.

Hi. Thank you so much. Glad you enjoyed it and found it useful.

Thanks. It was a very enjoyable show, as always. Perth is the highlight of the Scottish show calendar for me.

Shh don’t mention the word discount, the boss might read this lol Yes we said the same, the temperature last year was ridiculous, but it was pleasant this year by comparison.

It’s mounted to the cab at 5 points (two floating) and the other two are down at the light clusters. I can pick faults in any model, but as an upgrade from the hattons one it is a highly detailed and impressive model. In comparison to the bachmann model this hattons/accurascale model is far superior. Having spoken to Accurascale prior to my video, as I had a few queries on my own. They said that they rectified the issues that plagued the hattons one, but had to work around the existing tooling to a degree. You’ve got a few choices when it comes to the 66. Stick with the outdated Bachmann model, risk a second hand buy of a hattons one with all of its issues, buy a rail road one from Hornby. Or get the accurascale one. Or do without. For me, it’s the accurascale one as it was a charitable version. I didn’t claim it was perfect, but it’s (so far) the definitive class 66. Maybe Bachmann will surprise us and retool their one.

@@DeanPark Thanks for that David, I agree that it’s a good model with a few faults. Hopefully if Bachmann do release a new Class 66 it will be even better!

Cheers! Glad you like it. A organs carpet is essential for pre 1980’s offices! Scale model scenery do printed carpet tile sheets that I used on my office. They do an orange option!

Sorry I’m not aware of any that do.
