An excellent review and great video. I can't wait to get my hands on mine!

Congrats to you Graham! Your one of the first to review this wonderful Accurascale 66! And an excellent review it is sir! Believe me ive been listening and watching glorious sheds for years. This IS the best sound to date and surpasses all other manufacturers inc the Hattons which i find is too bass. My dear friend Jim at the Locoshed in Manchester will receive his order next week, have earmarked Climate Hero and then i have to decide another, and i think it has to be the Freightliner 66507 having watched your awesome review. Why not do another review soon for us on this wonderful 66 from Accurascale. You have a well earned sub from me. Oh i will also do a little running session soon at Redshed Lane TMD. Thanks for sharing with us and no way is your channel boring!

Brilliant sounds!

It is i assure you buy one now! I know you want one you have to have one now go forth.

Hi I came across your channel as I was interested in how you fitted crew as I have some to fit and watched that video and enjoyed it so thought I would catch some others. By the way did I spot a Spurs badge in the 2 year video ? Cheers Kev

I paid through the nose when I got them, but lots of deals out there from Rails of Sheffield and The Model centre. Really weighty Dapol models for the money and the end units have a working rear light

Great video but please lose the music or at least turn it down a bit.

I got my Gbrf 66763 in the orange and blue livery and I ran into lighting issues already the way the switches are set up for running non esu sound decoder the switches are supposed to be set up 1&3 off position and 2456 set to on i had to set it 1&2 to off and set it 3456 to get it to work on the dapol imperium decoder

Oh dear, it is so annoying when they don't work as expected. I must admit that my sound fitted version was not touched by me and I'm glad, because the complicated nature of how to set the switches was somewhat complicated for an old guy like me. I would not want to fit a Hornby HM7000 in one for example, I bet it would be a nightmare. I have to say the model you have looks amazing on the accurascale website. I hope the future is trouble free with your loco

Hi don't you weather any of your trains ?

@FatBoysonTourHikingVideos

Ай бұрын

Yeah some, but I'm not very good at it yet, so rather than ruin expensive models, I still practice on older trains. I have only been modelling since December 2021, so early days. I do order weathered versions of certain items to gain some ideas. Hopefully my skills will develop. Thanks for watching the video, really appreciated.

@@FatBoysonTourHikingVideos fair enough 👌

Pay for quality .. But .. Bachmann still was fine all them years ago . From a distance looks like a Bachmann model until you zoom in especially in boring FL livery . Nice review but not worth the price tag in my opinion

@FatBoysonTourHikingVideos

No argument from me on that one. The cost of new models are ridiculous. I do think you get good value from accurascale in my opinion. Fantastic detail and quality, the detail in the cab for example is amazing. This is sound fitted with a great speaker and a stay alive fitted. Excellent lighting back and front and on top of that a fantastic package of instructions, additional parts and a lifetime warranty at a cost of £260. You compare that to some Bachmann and Hornby models, I think it represents good value by comparison. Today I picked up a class 70 from Bachmann at a local train fair for £115, that is what I prefer to pay for locomotives if possible 😂. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment, really appreciated.

Lol looks nothing like the aged Bachmann model from any distance and the price is spot on in today's market especially with this high quality and what you get with this model. Have you seen Bachmann's and Hornby prices at all???

@@andy81e12 Well I hope you get yourself back on the ladder soon so you can enjoy the hobby at whatever level but yes I do sympathise with you on prices. I actually sell to buy now and don't accumulate thus my collection has been reduced significantly over the years and only have what I need, yes it is just too expensive but Accurascale prices are decent compared to the competition.
