Hi Matt, another great video. I first came across your channel when you did the 3rail build and I've been hooked ever since, love your enthusiasm and excitement when you talk about your models. Mmmmm, reminds me of someone I know ! I had to laugh about the carpet running comment, anyway keep up the grest commentary and videos. Regards, Leonard.
Thank you so much for the kind words, I really does make my day to hear this is worth while, I just started do these videos to push myself out of my comfort zone and am starting to really enjoy it. As I say if the video brightens someone's day, I have achieved everything I set out to do. Thanks again for watching and taking the time to message. Matt
Hello Matt, wonderful video, very informative. I came across your videos a few weeks back when you were reviewing the new Hornby Dublo A4. I found your style and passion for the subject very pleasing. I was lucky enough to pre-order the new Dublo Deltic from Hornby before it sold out. It looks a lovely model, hopefully Hornby has done it proud. At that price I'm expecting nothing but perfection. Take care and keep up the good work, Richard
I have had dreadful luck with Bachmann, the detail and presentation is top notch. It's when then you look under the hood that you understand what you have entered into. Some of my favourites are held together with shrink wrap and superglue. Your Deltic looks very nice, I'm glad it was a cheap fix. Enjoyed the vid. Steven.
I have the Deltic BR Green in 3rd rail; it doesn't have any glass in the side windows. Do you have the book on Hornby Dublo History?. Hornby tried to bring the Deltic out first. English Electric assumed it would be in BR Green, but came out in a differemnt livery. Also you will notice that the loco is not numbered. Why they continued to produce it in this livery until the end I do not know. I also have the other Dublo version. Sometimes Hornby had to make adjustments because of the tight curve of the 3 rail trail, so the fact that the model is not to scale, I think about 9 feet short of the real thing, was probably deliberate, and not accidental.
Apologies for not responding sooner, Many thanks for the information, It is certainly an interesting release and I am learning a lot from the comments I received, I do have the other as well, but both quite odd without windows, I would have left in the material and painted them in. Waiting for the new Hornby version, that should be good. Anyway thanks for watching and taking the time to message,
Great stuff too watch. Yep, those dublo deltics are a neat item. I'm guessing that after you'd posted this you realized the two dublo models aren't identical castings. Unfortunately of course it's a bit of a foreshadowing of dublos decline. The stocks of the co-co were so much they could sell it next to the two-tone Deltic with the modified casting right through to the end. I did modify a 3 rail into the prototype deltic: had to use the co-co shell of course, but such a great loco. I think one of the things is when dublo made it it was cutting edge tech and THE loco of the day. I had a couple of the rather elegant prewar fully valanced dublo A4's and again, it was a star when it was made. Not a modern model of a vintage loco, a vintage model of a modern loco! Cheers for the watch
Hi thanks for watching and taking the time to comment, it is really appreciated. I am afraid I hadn't realised that the bodies were different, so I will defiantly take a look, and I love that phrase Not a modern model of a vintage loco, a vintage model of a modern loco!' And I will give some thought to the idea of using the co co shell and modifying into the prototype, I may have a spare shell so this could be a project for the future. anyway, thanks again.
@@dustyshelfcollectables thanks for taking the time to reply :) It's not much of a casting mod: where the two tone is you'll see theres a casting line present for the paint mask to line up with. Needless to say this casting line would be present with the prototype deltic paint scheme. I used shortened fox decals and just built up the headlight boxes. Had the excuse for no working lights as the prototype Deltic didn't either! I actually like the shortened size of the Dublo deltics: looks better on the dublo curves, scale length looks a bit clumsy. And that ringfield makes such a great sound :)
Yes I didn't think of that angle, the old locos are built to last. I did repair the Bachmann loco, £20 for a new PCB board, and surprisingly still a spare part available for a 2007 loco- there is a follow up video. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
Got to be honest - the "Deltic" was the worst loco Hornby Dublo ever made. So bad that it bears only a vague resemblance to the prototype. It's way too short, the bonnets at each end are nowhere near long enough and the quality of the casting is abysmal, way inferior to what Hornby were producing even in the 1930s. I notice that the catalogue doesn't actually have the nerve to call it a Deltic, just a Co-Co. My dad bought me one in the early sixties and it never ran properly, being returned to the shop and exchanged for a Tri-ang Brush Type 2. Nowadays, I have an Accurascale Deltic so I don't have to worry about it any more, but as a historic curio, it's very interesting.

Sorry about your Bachmann Deltic, but Frank Hornby must be laughing his socks off. 😉

@@dustyshelfcollectables only kidding, it’s a nice loco. £20 seems quite reasonable to be honest.

I think you summed it up 'a historic Curio' perfectly! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
