Peter, I absolutely love your layout and the amount of detail you have, true modeller!! Would you be able to do a video on how you fit buffer detail to your loco's please?, including what glue you use and techniques? Thanks Zak!!!
Thank you very much. Some new locos on order including another 37 so I will hopefully do one :) Cheers Peter
Hi Peter , great to speak to you at chatham model rail show. ( white shirt / cap) - layout looking great , Leon 😊
Brilliant Peter! Harry 37 looks superb and I do like a body swap to get a new loco on the layout 😃👍
Thanks very much Darrell. Yes the body swap works on a few Bachmann's not just the 37s All the best Peter
Not got a layout myself but just love the amount of detail and modelling involved in creating yours and other layouts…..fantastic and so life like. Love the camera angles they give such a great perspective on the shots. Keep up the great updates Peter……it’s not just train enthusiasts that appreciate them….same goes with many of your colleagues……👍
Thank you very much, so glad you enjoy what I do. All the best Peter
I have that o8 shunter in the same livery
Love watching your videos mate, they just cheer me right up. it’s a cool 18 deg on Loch Lomond, just the way we like it… honest 😂
Thank you Ross. Been North of the border quite a few time myself with city breaks and the Highlands and even a trip over to Iona one time. Really enjoyed my time there. All the best Peter
Cheers for another great video Peter, at least you now have two orange pips going round. Seriously though, it looks really good , what’s it matter if it’s the old logo, still bloody smart. Well done bud 👌🏻
Thank you very much Paul I tell myself its waiting its turn to go in the paint shop to have it done :) Just look see how many EWS 66s are still in the original colours :) Cheers all the best Peter
A very nice and interesting video and i was particularly noting the way in which you held the fan in place to allow the speaker to fit in, was it just a length stiff wire glued with PVA? good work.
Hi there yes in this body I used a paper clip which I straighten up and PVA, which lets you position the fan dead centre Just leave aside and give time for the PVA to set Cheers Peter
Hi Peter…. hope all is well…. A nice simple and cost effective way to get a Colas 37 in your fleet… good job 👍👍👍 Steve 👍👏👏
Thank you very much Steve, yes well happy with it All the best Peter
Both very nice Peter. Great idea and cheaper option just to change the body work. And the speed match idea👍🏻, if there staying together. ATB to you.Stuart
Thanks Stuart but no speed matching didn't work totally totally different locos. So for now Im cheating by removing the drive shaft and worm gear on top of the bogies, very easy to do and put back when needed. So their paired up and sound together but no drive to the Bachmann 37 Suits me as I will mostly be running them together All the best Peter
@torridonroadbypeterdixon4162 Hi Peter. I saw the message you said to Alan. I just ran the two my latest video. Mine were very close to perfect only on a very low speed. But fun to try. 😁. ATB to you.Stuart
@@StMaryChurchModelRailway Hi Stuart, the problem was running under sound. Both are totally different setup on how they power up to pull away with the Bachmann being much slower on the uptake. I had them running around to see how it could work. The acceleration was different and when it got up to speed step 10 (of 25) I had to run the Bachmann at speed step 8. So I was not going down the route of changing CVs. TBH I have the Accurascale Colas on order and when that comes will convert the Bachmann back to solo running and see how two Accurasale 37 work as a consist . Cheers Peter
Hi Peter, With the cost of these engines (& Hornby about to raise prices again Sams Trains) getting expensive this is the way to go to have engine and rolling stock matched even for trainsets £50 / £200 its no contest lets hope all the manufactorers have lots of stock of the bodys. A nice video the engines & trains looking good. Cheers Robert.
Thanks very much Robert, yes a very easy upgrade to have a different loco and always possible to swap back as there's no damage or modification needed. Take care mate all the best Peter
Super model & sound Peter, I think the HN part of the name is Harry NEEDLE as in "threading the eye of a needle"
Yes a "doh" moment when I posted the film and saw I was saying the name wrong. Take care mate all the best Peter
brilliant idea !!! genius..i have an old bachmann plain blue 37..mmm i wonder,suppose i would have to be sure of the fit..did u realise your cat starred alongside you this time?! great entertainment all the best,dave
Thanks Dave, yes I have swapped a 66 in the past with no problems, you can always give them a ring to check. The cats name is 'Ash' I have three cats, you saw 'Snarf' in the last vid, you have yet to see the black and white one 'Felix' :) All the best mate Peter
@@torridonroadbypeterdixon4162 come on Felix!
Like the guy half out the08 cab terrific
Thank you, cheers Peter
Gorgeous couple of 37s there Peter. In fact every single thing that rolls on the lines is superb 👍 brilliant as always how easy is it to remove the drive gear? Full strip down? Cheers, DOD
Thanks Dave, very easy, drop out the bogie towers, remove the drive shaft, the worm gear assembly on top of the gear towers. Leave the other gears in place and you will find you will have a freewheeling bogie. Keep the bits safe as its simple to revert back if needed Cheers Peter
Nice one Peter, another excellent video. I remain impressed that you manage to get all this spending past SWMBO, even allowing for the economical purchase of the body shell! Great work sir.
Ha ha, truth is I don't always but she has her interests which can be expensive too, so I can use that against her LoL. Cheers Peter
That was the first time my photochromic glasses worked indoors, nice, more body only swaps is a great way to increase your fleet without going bankrupt 👍
Thanks Mark and you can always revert as there's no damage or modding needed Cheers Peter
Great addition to the fleet and nice touch ups to make it stand out that much more!
Thank you Anthony All the best take care Peter
Hi Peter, Colas has the Network Rail RCT test trains contract, & has taken over the class 43's & 97's in Network Rail livery! HN Rail is a spot hire company smart livery in total Colas has 12x37, 1043, 10x56, 5x66 2x67 & 17x70 in their fleet. did have both class 47 & 60's both sold on to GBRf.
Gosh thank you very much for the info, just as long as they keep them going long may it be so Thanks all the best Peter
bachmann 47 , latest version ,with tension lock ,pullingsix new mk3 coahes , uncouples, help!
help with couplings, specifically joining bachmann sound version loco to mk3 coach.is there a magnetic coupling that fits bachman's socket. kind regards richard
Hi Richard, even before I played around with my own type of custom couplings I never had any problems using West Hill Wagon work Elite couplings on any of my Bachmann locos. Cheers Peter
Nice video, Peter. Really enjoy your layout and it's always exciting when I see you have a new update. Thank you.
Thank you very much Take care Peter
Hi Peter, Coincidence that you have the body shell of the Direct Rail Services 37405 which is newly painted in the HN Rail are both the same numbers 37405 ! Well done Peter for another interesting video , pleased to see you in the shed again , and your lovely black cat getting in on the scene too ! .Thank You , All Good Wishes - Ron
Hi Ron yes well spotted, I never noticed till I ran the loco and found the two of them running. So it made my mind up for me as to which DRS 37 from the 3 Bachmann's got the body swap :) Cat is called 'Ash' :) Cheers Peter
Hello Peter! I hope you're well Wow those 37s definitely add a lot colour. Very nice body shell definitely quicker and much cheaper way. Take care all the best Deano
Thank Deano, yes was even thinking of a Hornby railroad version but then having 3 Bachmann 37s and the one I swapped the body on was running the same number as the HN rail. So that sorted that and I still have many DRS locos of all classes Thanks again all the best Peter
Very nice video,How do you couple the rolling stock with ploughs on?
Hi there I have made up my own magnet coupling that hooks on the the actual locos trains hook, You can see me demonstrating it in the video ua-cam.com/video/oHMHTw-ZpJM/v-deo.htmlsi=e-p-PMg73YZ3MWDI
@@torridonroadbypeterdixon4162 Thank you very much, Ill check it out
Hi Peter, It’s not always dear modelling nice cheap way of changing locomotives but how do you match two different manufacturers to run the same speed cheers Al
Hi Al matey, simple answer is I cheated and removed the drive shaft and worm gear, so she's free rolling. I will always use it paired up. If ever I want it to run under its own power I can quickly put the parts back. Tried it in a consist, no way was totally totally different Cheers Peter
@@torridonroadbypeterdixon4162 nice easy fix like it 👍 cheers Al
Nicely done Peter . So much cheaper and easier to do. Did you have any trouble speed matching only with it being to different makes of locos and chips. They do run well togeather and looks the part.
Hi your Lordship. Tried it as a consist and it was terrible So simple answer was to cheat and removed drive shaft and worm gear so she is a free wheeling engine. I will always run it with the HN 37 so I don't need it to run by itself and if ever I do it quick and easy to fit the bits back :) Belated Happy Birthday all the best Peter
@@torridonroadbypeterdixon4162 Good thinking Top Man
Hi Peter great work with the stay alive i now what you mean when locos stop working when your trying to film them and like you say its great the variety of liveries we have now but its impossible to keep up with them, by the time the accurascale tpe mk5 set came out the real things were withdrawn from service after only a few years, great running session as always, look forward to your next update. Tom
Excellent video as always 👌
Hi Peter, at 40.40 you are running your Plasser Tamper vehicle, I was wondering what you’ve done to make it look so different, is it the Bachmann/Liliput model or another brand, I have one of those models that I want to put lighting and sound into at some stage, it looks like the roof section is continuous instead of 2 separate panels, I’m sure there’s a sound file for that particular vehicle on the ESU site, did you know Hornby have a mk1 Balfour Beatty crew coach in their present range? Thanks for sharing.
Hi nothing so fantastic Im afraid. It is the Bachmann motorised version I hot wired to a decoder, no sound no lights but I put a false roof on it to make it look bigger, because as you know this is in HO rather than OO. I have the Hornby coach its in white so you may miss the fact its Balfour Beatty livery :) Cheers Peter
What a stunning model! I need to save up.
Great loco Peter I’ve just acquired a class 20 HNRail only running it on dc though me being the dc dinosaur 😊 regards Fred
Stunning looking loco Peter and a great addition to the fleet. I forgot to mention that the Chatham Show will be back at the Dockyard on the 19th and 20th July next year. Cheers Kev
I'm still waiting for my Class 37 - BR 'Dutch' - 37258 - DCC Sound Fitted, hopefully sounding as good as yours
Hi there and thanks. Yes will look and sound great on your setup.Cheers Peter
@torridonroadbypeterdixon4162 Have fun, Peter. Why not check out my other Accurascale class 37 and comment as I bit of support helps. Have a good day.
Hi Peter - enjoyed our chat at the Chatham show and thanks for your mentions it was a really enjoyable couple of days . Nice work on the 08s stay alives do give that bit of reliability. Cheers Kev
Hi Peter nice video and great loco. I've purchased one too, still running it in just been a bit busy lately. Really liked the low ( track) level shots, it really showed off all the detailing. Brilliant cheers Andy
Thanks very much, can only say you've been Tangoed :) Cheers Peter
Nice as owt that Peter, those wheel details are fantastic! Great little session that 👍
Thanks very much Dave. Dave can you do me a favour ........ straighten up the "Red buffers" name plate on your class 56, it's driving mad...... LoL All the best mate
@@torridonroadbypeterdixon4162 hahaha! You’ll be pleased to know I took it off the other day 😆👍
@@doubleodave Oh no.....How about proper name plates from Fox Transfers. They will do custom ones :) cheers mate
One of these would look great on Liberty Junction! Just a thought.
its a beauty Peter,my friend Nick at redshed 66077 just got it too,..Accurascale have raised that bar!...looks superb on your layout😊
Thanks Dave and yes I watch Nicks channel. He's got the class 20s in th HN livery too which looks the part. All the best to you Dave Cheers Peter
Another great video. Love that sound
Thank you very much Peter
Hello Peter. What a great model this is. The looks and sound are fantastic. I just had to have this in my fleet. This makes 38 with the Colas one still to come. Can't wait. All the best. Mick.
Ha ha should have known you would have one Mick :) Look forward to seeing it on your video soon. All the best mate Peter

hello Peter, WOW 37405 even amoungst your fabulous loco fleet she stands out, a great addition to your loco's super running session, regards Ron
Hi Ron, yes indeed, hard to miss this one Thanks very much all the best Peter
Wow! What a stunner of a 37. Great looking and sounding!
Thanks Anthony. Yes hard this miss this one :) Cheers Peter
Hello Peter! What an incredible class 37 from Accurascale and a great running session Take care Deano.
Thank you Deano. Hard to miss this one and really looks good with all the pipework fitted Cheers Peter
Hi Peter, great video of the same Accurascale class 37 in this awesome livery, I had a few issues with mine but I’m sorting them, great running session and layout, I can’t wait to build mine, thanks for sharing.
Hi, What issues did you have
Hi matey, sorry to hear you had problems but great you are getting them sorted All the best Peter
@@paulsimpson1423 Out of the box it for about 10 minutes then it locked up and wouldn’t move, the body was vibrating when power was applied and the sound was working, I’m very competent working on model trains and didn’t want to send it back, I removed the body and desoldered pickup and motor wires from the pcb then carefully removed the pcb, I checked the motor was working correctly which it was, one on the bogie drive turrets had locked up, I had to remove the cab seating to gain full access to the bogie upper turret, thanks to Peters guidance video’s, I removed the outer bogie facia connected to the chains the removed the locked up bogie, I took it apart and reassembled it with some Labelle 106 ptfe grease, this made the drive gear move very smooth as it’s supposed to, i lightly greased the drive shafts that were dry and reassembled the locomotive, it all works very well now, I guess they aren’t tested enough before they are released, I got unlucky with mine, hopefully other modellers won’t have similar issues.
@@torridonroadbypeterdixon4162 Hi Peter, thanks to your video tutorial it was quite straightforward, with the locked up driveshaft sorted all is well so finger crossed it will run smoothly for the foreseeable.💎
Hi Peter, very enjoyable running session with HN rail 37405 my favourite livery goes well with both rakes you ran with on your lovely layout thanks for sharing cheers Al
Thanks Al, yes Im quite aware that these are not used for 'normal' duties, they go to assist Colas Rail, so will have it with any Network Rail stock Cheers Peter
Probably one of my favourite models Peter! For me the best sound to date and wow the looks, so pleased you have it now, perfect on your awesome depot. Tell you what the box aet is absolutely stunning, congratulations Accurascale! Nice running session Peter, thanks for sharing, magnificent.
Yes thank you Nick seen it on your layout it certainly has a presence. Very happy I have one now All the best Peter
Very nice Peter, the poor old wallets are taking a hammering at the moment but it certainly looks and sounds the part.
Ha ha yes thanks Andy, Post office timed delivery just right as SWMBO was out :) but I think she will notice this one on her next visit to the shed.... Oh dear LoL Cheers Peter
Execellent video interesting information on the Class 37, love the shunters
