    Hi, the layouts looking great. That 37 looks and sounds amazing, probably just needs weathering ..then perfect!

    Superb collection of 37’s Graham and a lovely large logo addition to the family! Personally I’m very impressed by the txs sound file 😊 Looking forward to what you have in store for the embankment area, cheers Darrell

      Cheers Darrell. I too think the Hornby sound file for the 37 is really great for the money, especially with the ability to reprogram it at any time. Just bought two more 21 pins for another two 37's with stay alives from dcc concepts. I'm going to fit these probably over the weekend. Atb Graham 🙂 👍

    Hi Graham.
    Great loco, just bought an Accurascale 37. Not sound fitted though.
    Great rake of coaches as well.
    Brilliant layout.
    Thank you for sharing.
    Thumbs up thumped 👍

    Another very informative video Graham , your 37 fleet is growing nicely!! About six weeks ago I was in my regular model shop looking at a new tooled Bachmann 37, when my wife joined
    me in the shop she was immediately drawn to the display cabinet saying " oh its one of those 37's you go on about " the shop owner looked at me for my reply which was
    " well you can never have enough 37's in your life haha " It cost me a meal in the pub next door but another 37 found its way home. So you clearly aren't the only alone in
    appreciating the legendary loco. Keep up the good work look forward to how you propose to keep the cows upright !!

    Well done Graham for sorting the decoder chip issue, I thought you were going to put your hammer into it (lol). I have one class 37 by Bachmann 37035 in Dutch livery in my fleet but have twelve class 33's by Heljan which fits in well with my southern era. Great sounds from your class 37's but I am still DC so miss out on this, I did look into DCC but with a fleet of nearly fourth loco's I could not afford the switch. I wish I could clear my garden as quick as you cleared your embankment 🤣. Many thanks for sharing regards Barry..

    • @WHP1980s
      @WHP1980s  Місяць тому

      The 33's by Heljan are great models too. I've got 2 of them plus 3 26's in my collection, they are great sturdy little runners. Be it a bit thirsty on current, which used to blow old Hornby chips. Many thanks Barry, atb Graham 😊👍

    Evening Graham. Hope your well.
    Nice to see a few 37s getting a run and meeting the fleet. Mirage, was one of a number of Tinsleys Depot, unofficial painted names, that they adorned to their locos, based at the depot. Theres loads to choose from, should you wish to renumber your 2nd Mirage 37. You maybe can get the name decals for which ever one you choose. Also don't worry about the 37043, being off region, Eastfield's 37s, got everywhere back in the day. Same with the 47/7s, when they came off the push pull sets between Edinburgh and Glasgow Queen Street, the 47/7s got reallocated to Old Oak Common, so you had ScotRail liveried 47s, scottie dogs n all running out of Paddington. Hope this helps.
    Excellent video Graham. Thank you for sharing mate.

    Hi Graham . Great collection of “ tractors” you have . I presume they are 21 pins? If so don’t forget to turn off the locos rear reds when pulling a train ! Your new project of renewing the landscape, may I suggest a line side fence to stop the cows straying onto the line.
    Keep up the good work. Regards John

      "Tractors 🚜 " I guess that's why I love them, as I worked and played on a neighbouring farm when I was a kid. And got to drive them as I worked on one while going to college. Unique sound 👌 yep I do forget about tail lights sometimes as I'm concentrating on other details. Cheers for watching atb Graham 👍 😊

    Superb mate ,that embankment two lying cows reminds me of a couple of ex girlfriends😂, my fav is the 47 I have quite a few in my fleet ,living close to the western main line and the motive power when I worked the TPOs was a 47 except one night we had a 50 failed at twyford 😂,your TMD with the AC electrics outside reminds me of Willesden Junction

    Hi Graham, you have a superbly detailed layout, I really need to get a BR large logo class 37, I will be getting a Bachmann version because I want a working roof fan like in my Bachmann class 47 which is superb, I will buy a roof fan unit if and when they become available, I’ve never had any issues with my Bachmann diesel fleet, I prefer a dcc ready model so I can add Legomanbiffo sound, thanks for sharing.

    • @StormmyStormmy
      @StormmyStormmy Місяць тому

      If you upgrade your dcc control station would you consider the Esu Ecos? Your dynamis has similar buttons to what the Ecos has and it’s the same colour.

    Hi, great video..............Just thinking about your issues, traced to a faulty decoder. I recall finding out somewhere, someone used a loco decoder in a Bachmann DMU to just work the lights in the trailer which caused issues because the decoder was always trying to detect a motor current and couldn't. A function only decoder was the answer but many people don't use them in that situation. Not sure if this is something of interest or not. All the best Dave.

    • @WHP1980s
      @WHP1980s  Місяць тому +1

      It's definitely a thought, and quite logical. Maybe it's also due to the manufacturer if this occurs, as the replacement chip is of a different manufacturer now, but be it with motor running capabilities still. 🤔 many thanks Graham 😊 👍
