Rapido Trains Uk SECR 6 Wheel Brake Van review
Hi, Do your corners first when you start your scenery, and make sure you can get at the back easily, It was something i should have thought about when I started Smallton. Take care mate and all the best to you and your family
Thank you so very much S for watching my video and comment. Ive got a small stool I made so I will be able to stand on that to get to places on the corners of boards. I will need to lay the track 1st & make sure it all works ok with clearances & running. Then fit scenery around it. Will be a while until I get to that stage. Cheers mate, & thanks alot for advice. Take great care both of you. ATB Kevin 👨🔧🛠🤝👍
Loving the progress there Kevin. Keep up the great work buddy. All the best, Peter.
Thank you so very much Peter for watching my video and comment. Your words of encouragement for my channel are very much appreciated. Can't wait to get all the boards completed & joined up together. Hardest bit will be either doing a lift out or drop down section at the door area for access. Any tips would be very much appreciated off everyone. All the best Peter, cheers Kevin 🧏♂️🛠👍🤝
Awesome progress kev mate wow you have been busy, it will be well worth it when finished, well done mate kind regards Danny 😀 😊😃
Thank you Danny for watching my video and comment. Your continued support is very much appreciated mate. Its hard work starting off with doing the baseboards. Can't wait for that so the fun can start planning trackwork & scenery. All the best Danny, cheers Kevin 🧏♂️🛠👍🤝
I`m trying to get my head round some of these cad type things, as I have a few ideas, I`d like on paper to see if they`ll work, but till I know what I`ve got to work with i`ve been putting it off.
Thank you so very much Clive for watching my video and comment. There is lots of computer programs for designing layouts. But these symbols give you a visual guide. Basically theyre used for building a layout a bit at a time. If you have a piece of graph paper you can use that to an exact scale size. You can trace around the pieces to build up a full set of plans. Will have to see how it works out when I lay track. Cheers mate, happy modeling. ATB Kevin 👨🔧🛠🤝👍
Your planning really well kev mate hope you are enjoying the start of your layout build, looking forward to watching your progress kind regards Danny 😀 😊😃
Cheers Danny Thanks for watching my video and comment. Its a long work in progress, just takes so long to start with doing baseboards. But well ! atleast I've started building a layout. Better fun comes once you start putting track & scenery down. Thanks for your continued support & encouragement mate. ATB Kevin 🧏♂️👍🤝🛠
That looks interesting, Have you allowed enough platform for your carriages?
Thank you so very much S for watching my video and comment. Until baseboards are assembled in proper place I can't tell. Will have to wait & see once I lay the tracks & put platforms down
Nice workbench and nail tacker Kev mate that will come in handy for your model railway but just go careful when using the nail gun as I have one in my shed but way too powerful to use for my model railway, nice Bargains from Lidl hope you are keeping well kind regards Danny 👍🏻👀👋🏻🤩
Thanks for watching my video Danny and comment. Yes I will take care with the nail/staple gun. Will have to go steady at 1st. I'm cutting wood at moment for more baseboards. Hope you can get up in loft soon. It's a bit cooler up here today. ATB mate, cheers Kevin 🧏♂️🤝👍🛠
Good work as always Kevin. That will keep you busy for a while. Meanwhile I am working on researching dead rail and battery power for O Gauge. I think I am going to be getting the CVP Airwire controller which will be once I am in the United States. All the best, Peter.
Thanks for watching my video and comment Peter. The baseboards are taking longer to build as I have a lot of stuff in boxes to move around 1st in room. But hopefully will get there soon. Hope you manage to get the controller that you want for your O gauge set up. Cheers Peter ATB mate, Kevin 🧏♂️🤝👍🛠
Great start mate wishing you all the very best on your model railway layout journey, you will absolutely love it, i really do love my layout and the fact its still a work in progress and always will be lol 😆 as they say a layout is never finished but joys of relaxing and watching my trains go by is very satisfying indeed, Happy modelling my friend kind regards Danny 😊 😃 😊 😀
Thank you so very much Danny for watching my video, your comment & words of encouragement, it's very much appreciated. The 2 boards are now up & joined together. Also They're Level 😁 was hoping more people would have viewed. Creeping upwards slowly towards 800 subs. Hope I can make the magical 1k All the best mate Cheers Kevin 🧏♂️🤝👍🛠🚉
Hi Mate, Make sure that you can get into the corner and start your scenery in that corner
Thanks S for watching my video and comment. Yes I will be able to get into that corner mate. Bit stretching but won't be a massive problem. Will be a bit of time before scenery is done. Have to empty out the built in wardrobes. As going to also use that space. Build boards to go in there & finish off other boards around the room. Join them all together not forgetting sorting out where the door opens. Then I can lay some tracks & do the upper section for dc use. So it will take time, but atleast I've started. All the best to you & M. Cheers Kevin 🧏♂️👍🤝
Very interesting Kev mate not seen them before only track setters hope it will help you with your layout kind regards Danny 👍🏻👀👋🏻🤩
Thanks Danny for watching my video and comment. These are great for planning a layout. Alot easier using these instead of the real thing. Being 1/4 scale you can work out whats required easily. Having multiple packs means you have the opportunity to plan bigger track runs. I think these are a great help when 1st designing track work. Cheers Danny ATB & thanks for your continued support of my channel. Kevin 👨🔧🤝👍
Pretty cool, thanks for sharing. Dave
Thank you Dave for watching my video and comment. Thanks for the continued support of my channel, its much appreciated. These little symbols are easy to use & clip together. Having more than 1 pack also helps build a better scale plan. Cheers Dave ATB Kevin 👨🔧🤝👍
Nice trucks there mate. They would fine on a layout with an oil refinery. There are LHD trucks in the UK that go onto the continent to bring goods into the UK so I wouldn't worry about the steering wheel looking off. Nice models and never heard of this brand. All the best, Peter.
Thank you so very much Peter for watching my video and comment. No idea where I got these lorrys from. It was in the last century 🤣 Ive got so much stuff that infact I've no idea what's there in all my boxes. Everyone is like a mystery box. So its going to be a nice pleasure when I go throu them all. ATB mate, hope you are keeping well. Cheers Kevin 👨🔧🤝👍🚚🚕🚗
Great video as always buddy. I am thinking of getting the full licence for Anyrail. It looks good and will be great for my planned garden railway.
Thank you so very much for watching my video and comment. I have a pack of these that I bought years ago. But I can't seem to retrieve them from the pull of the black hole. So thats why I went out & bought another 3 packs. My layout will be quite large as I'm going to take it all around the walls of room with a central well. I did have a computer program for design, but I've not been on the laptop for the past 4years. Hope you can get something for your garden layout planning. Cheers & ATB Kevin 🧏♂️👍🤝
Excellent kev mate nice bargains for your preparations for your new layout love the little security cameras, will take time but that is all the fun, exciting times ahead happy modelling kind regards Danny 😀 😊😃
Thank you so much for watching my video Danny and comment. Can't wait to get all baseboards made & linked together so can plan the track. Thanks for your continued support. ATB mate cheers Kevin 🧏♂️👍🤝
Wow! I can't wait to see you start your lay-out
Cheers S time will tell how I get on with it. Main problem is free space to work. As I have to keep moving boxes around to free up space as I'm going alone. Hopefully will come ok in end
Nice one kev mate love the little fork lift trucks aswell as the shell tankers was probably like having a new item just purchased with not knowing you had them hidden away and just recently finding them, hopefully you find some more hidden gems mate kind regards Danny 😀 😊😃
Thank you Danny for watching my video and comment and words of encouragement. I've got 2 huge boxes of vehicles that I've come across. I've been collecting things these past 25 years since I got interested & rejoined the hobby. Trouble is I worked away from home since 1998. Had money to buy things so I did. With not having much spare time when I was home from months away. Things just got put away without me actually taking a close look at them. So yes it's like me purchasing them all over again, but without the expense. It's actually great fun. So hopefully will get many more videos done soon. Cheers & thanks again. ATB 🧏♂️👍🤝🚘🛻🚜🚔 Kevin
I`ve a few BT base toys, very basic but they do make some trucks not covered by corgi or EFE oxford
Thank you Clive for watching my video and comment. BT might not be the best model manufacturer but its great that they made these Forklift trucks. They look the part, so that's 90% of what you would need. The tynes do move horizontal & I do have some small pallets that I can put on them to give some action. I've got loads & I mean loads of other vehicles to show that I've found. But that's for future videos. I need to crack on with building the baseboards next. So bye for now, ATB Kevin 🧏♂️👍🤝🚘🛻🚜🚔
Very cool stuff. Thanks for sharing. Dave
Cheers Dave thanks for watching my video and comment. I've got so much stuff in my boxes, I've no idea what's really in them. So it's always a surprise for me when I search through them. I'm trying to get stuff together for starting the build of a layout. Hope you're well mate ATB Kevin 🧏♂️👍🤝
You're going to build your layout!!! This I have to see! I have those forklifts from base toys on my layout
Thank you S for watching my video and comment. Yes I'm in the process of clearing some space in my black hole so to start building baseboards. Please don't fall off your stool 🤣
You should have left the box open, half the vlog went before you got it open, l had to go bed then.
Thanks for your advice. Cheers Carlos, hope you had a good sleep 😴
Same as my cl66 a couple of weeks ago 3 brackets off on delivery found in box glued back on, All 4 buffers pointing skywards had to very gently bend into position, And now one of the half moon brackets on the front has dropped off had to order another piece to glue on, Never have problems with Bachmann diesels.
Thanks for watching my video and comment Tony. Sorry you had bits falling off your 66. Its a disgrace when we pay a fortune for models. ATB Cheers Kevin 👨🔧🤝👍
We dont need sprung buffers with nem couplers pointless.
Just more to go wrong!!
Nice don’t think I’ve seen anyone do a video on just a static loco, looks awesome and it’s amazing that you have stumbled across it whilst sorting out your room, I wonder what other hidden gems you will come across, look forward to seeing more kind regards Danny 👍🏻👀👋🏻🤩
Cheers Danny. Someone else i found last night has done this also but years ago. I only noticed my missing buffers & beam detail when i watched my vid on large tv. Bit disappointed so will have to try get some spare parts to fix it. Bought last century, think it was from Hattons. Just wish i had noticed at the time. Cheers & thanks for your support. ATB Kevin 👨🔧🤝👍
Wow oh my days mate another issue with accurascale yet again, you don’t have much luck with them mate, so sorry to see this happening to you yet again, the only thing that hasn’t fallen apart is your coal loads you fitted, although this is a bad experience for you, I still enjoyed watching and you have every right to speak your mind as you have spent your hard earned cash on all these models so well done for giving your honest opinion kind regards Danny 👍🏻👀👋🏻🤩
Thank you so very much Danny for watching my video and comment. Its happening to me All The Time. I must be the unluckiest recipient of dodgy items. I'm like a huge magnet for bad modelling luck. Hope you are feeling better mate. Take care & thanks for all your help & support Danny. ATB Kevin 🧏♂️👍🤝
modellers have become too serious - they take for granted the huge sums of money rolling stock and locos are paid for. start buying quality stuff and leave the brands where they should be, in the bin.
Thank you so very much for watching my video and comment. I am just so fed up of getting crap items from Accurascale. I spend a fortune of my own money on everything I buy. No one gives me any stuff for free, not like some channels. So I feel I have the right to complain when things start to fall to bits straight out of the box. I've no idea where you get quality items from nowadays as no company seems to care about customer satisfaction. ATB & thanks, Kevin 🧏♂️👍🤝
I know that feeling, my cupboard is the same
Cheers S, I'm searching through my boxes of stuff, taking note of what's in them. As hopefully I'm going to try & get some baseboards going next week.
Not only them Bachmann and Heljan and Hornby all sell things that are not quality checked these days. I am also fed up of buying things with defects.
Thanks for watching my video and comment. Oh you forgot Rapido they sent me a Guards Van with no bogie wheels. Took me ages to get some. All companies charge the earth & give us all crap. Cheers & ATB mate Kevin 🧏♂️👍🤝
@@bluebellcentralmodelrailwa4064 I have not bought much from Rapido Only recently got 3 open wagons which look OK and the APT-E a few years ago. Hope Rapido are not going to get as bad. When I go in the model shop I hear so many complaints about bits falling off and yes rip off prices almost £400 for a 37 yet my shop has a Bachmann SD40-2 for £158 DCC sound fitted, if they can sell those at that price why not a 37
This and the Class 37 they really need better quality control especially being how they charge
Thanks for watching my video and comment. I don't know if I'm just unlucky but most things I get from Accurascale have problems all the time. Locos not running properly, sound through vibrating speaker, bits falling off all over the place, wagons that derail on curves until you take a file to the underbody, the list just goes on & on. Cheers Kevin ATB 🧏♂️👍🤝
@@bluebellcentralmodelrailwa4064 from what I’ve seen on CZcams they have all the detail but can’t go anywhere which is great when you pay £200 plus on these models 🙄🙄
Hence why I only have and want older models. Robust and fun and affordable to purchase upgrade.
Thank you so very much for watching my video and comment. As you say modern items are more detailed thus more fragile. Accurascale items have the tendency to drop pieces off all the time. The Chinese have to put a bit more glue on when assembled. ATB mate cheers Kevin 🧏♂️👍🤝
It seems to me that the more detail, the more problems, Time to have things made in England
Thanks for watching my video S and comment. They just don't put enough glue on things. Like you say, more details, more to fall off. Accurascale quality control is 💩
Hopefully with a new government in place these things could happen, out of site out of mind manufacturing, I had issues with a couple of Accurascale items last year, I contacted them and told them about the issues I had, they sorted them as soon as they could, I guess it’s the luck of the draw sometimes.
Thank you so very much for watching my video and comment. Ive had no end of problems with items Ive purchased from Accurascale as a manufacturer. They must employ the local village i d i o t as quality control out in China, as quality is prone to fail on many occasions. Cheers & happy modeling (just don't expect it with Accurascale items 🤣) cheers ATB Kevin 👨🔧🤝👍
Making stuff in the UK has never been the sign of 100% quality.
Thanks for watching & comment. The thing is These Arnt Manufactured in UK, Accurascale is an Irish Company who get these Manufactured in CHINA. There's always been quality concerns with Cheap Charlie Manufacturing.
At some point they changed from 8 pin to 21 pin. Vids dated about 2020 clearly show 8 pin on these class 66 models. Fortunately I just got mine from Rails of Sheffield at a keen price with 21 pin decoders. And yes it is a budget model but some of the detailed models are really over the top now in price, or maybe it is just me getting old remembering getting a class 20 3 rail in 1962 for 17/6 or something similar. (It was probably more but a pint of beer was less than 2 bob!) And what is throwing me is the need for all the electronics on a blanking plate? Looks like a decoder in itself. Don't tell the Russians they will want the models for the chips.
Thank you so very much Brian for watching my video and comment. It was really annoying expecting an 8pin decoder to discover they changed this to 21 pin. What p'ed me off was it advertised everywhere as 8 pin & Hornby also giving me false info. Atleast I got it sorted with the adapter. I was confused as like you said the blanking plate with all its chips did look like a decoder. Cheers & thanks again, Kevin 👨🔧🤝👍🛠
@@bluebellcentralmodelrailwa4064 You are welcome. I suspect like me you are keen on the hobby but don’t need to count the rivets to enjoy it and prefer it at a fair price. It would be so easy to get carried away and spend a fortune but to me that isn’t the point. As I fast approach 80 I will be happy if my young grandchildren in Canada get their hands on the stuff. Their father, my youngest son was a conductor/guard on CN freight trains. Riding the cab at the front of 2 km long trains with 2 to 5 locos in the consist, travelling the route of the Rocky Mountaineer and getting paid!
Hi Brian, thanks for sharing your background to modelling with me & about your family. Must have been a great job & responsibility your son had. Hope your grandchildren will keep up the hobby, hopefully they will start to show more interest. But children now a days arnt like we used to be. Im 61 & have a son just turned 36. Hes no interest in trains, but he was brought up in the computer age, so he has his playstation5 to occupy his time. Make sure you take great care and all the best modeling for many more years to come my friend. ATB Brian, cheers Kevin 👨🔧🤝👍🚞🚂
Nice one Kev mate lenz are a great make and manufacturer of decoders I know a few people who use them and have had no issues, great bargain arrived quicker than most places in the uk lol 😜 thanks for sharing and another enjoyable and interesting video kind regards Danny 👍🏻👀👋🏻🤩
Thanks Danny for watching my video and comment. Lenz in UK being sold for stupid money. I've seen on Ebay for £18 but then they're asking for £17 postage on top from Germany. The postage I paid was €9 for FedEx & that included clearing Customs in UK. People on Ebay abroad just rip people off. Hope these work OK in my 105. Cheers Danny ATB Kevin 🧏♂️👍🤝
Good deal as long as you keep it below £135. theres a few bit on my list that will come from there as there cheaper than UK sellers like Gaugemaster
Thank you Clive for watching my video and comment. Yes the cut off is £135 for free imports, over that & you pay Import Duty, Vat & shipping company fees. I've bought from German companies several times & things always go great with no hassles. Hope you manage to get everything you're after. Wonder if you've Sold on your HUGE telegraph poles mate. Pity plastic doesn't shrink like clothes in a tumble drier. All the best & thanks again Clive. Cheers Kevin 🧏♂️👍🤝
@@bluebellcentralmodelrailwa4064 Haha yes I sold them on for a profit. Lol
You should get your discount next time you buy something
Thanks for watching my video S and comment. Don't know how the discount works, if its only valid for so long as I only had €1 I used off the whole price. Good thing is you don't pay Tax. That's what make them cheaper. Hope you & M are keeping well. Take care out in Ukraine. ATB mate cheers Kevin 🧏♂️👍🤝
In one of your previous videos I mentioned how the Hornby yearly range hardly had any sort of variety or uniqueness to them. This is sort of a similar thing, but something about the golden lettering over a dark green sort of stands out to me.
Thanks for watching my video and comment Daniel. I've been getting these now for years. I've managed to collect them all. Mainly buying online these past few years. Also shops, toy fairs and the dreaded Ebay (which some I paid a King's Ransom for). Cheers Daniel ATB cheers Kevin 🙋♂️👍🤝
With no licensing to pay for, dropping the price way down is smart. Plus these are a good model to test your customizing skills on. I don’t have many - about 6 models but I like them .
Thank you so very much for watching my video and comment. Yer you can't beat them at £0:79. Couldn't believe how cheap they were and they arnt Cheap Charlie Chinese Crap. Yes they're made in China but they don't fall to pieces like cars used to do when I was a kid. Home Bargains is the place for these Zuru cars. 😁 cheers ATB Kevin 🙋♂️👍🤝🚔🚘🚗

Nice waggon, A bit early for Christmas
Thank you S for watching my video and comment. Yes Hornby released this early. Every year it roughly moves a month. Suppose its for people to quickly buy a present for Christmas. Cheers Kevin 🙋♂️🤝👍
Very nice, thanks for sharing. Dave
Thank you so very much Dave for watching my video and comment. Hopefully Garden Centres where you are also do these items. But if you want I would suggest searching MyVillage.nl Stockists. Hopefully you can find some. All the best mate, cheers Kevin 🙋♂️👍🤝🛤
Ain't gonna lie, I'm not the biggest fan of these Hornby yearly sets. As a novelty they're fun but I always think the design looks so... basic, y'know? Like they could've done so much more to the livery to make it really pop. Great video mate. 😀
Hi & thank you so very much for watching my video and comment. I only collect them to keep the Series Going every year. I totally agree, they could do more with colours & liveries. Out of all they've done since 1992 most are plain red & yellow lettering. There's only been a few with different colours. Like Silver for 2000. Yellow brake van, Blue box wagon, Grey Ore wagon for the few that I can recall without checking. I have done a slideshow video on these Year Wagons showing them all. Cheers & thanks again for watching & comment. ATB Kevin 🙋♂️👍🤝
@@bluebellcentralmodelrailwa4064 Yeah I did see the video. And yeah it does show that Hornby doesn't show much variety year by year. Hopefully one day they'll create one that stands out.
Cheers & thanks for watching my other videos
Wow very nice scenery items from my village mate very reasonable in prices hopefully that will come in handy for you, another great video well done and thank you for sharing kind regards Danny 😀 😊😃
Thank you so very much Danny for watching my video and comment. These scenery items are great value from Garden Centres. If you want to know where I got mine from ask me on my whatsap mate. Its great as free delivery for £50 worth. Or do search on Google for MyVillage at Garden Centres. Hope you are ok & have got up in loft. Cheers mate take care, ATB Kevin 🙋♂️👍🛤
I knew there was some bits available, but I couldn`t remember the trading name, but seeing it, I`ve seen it in spalding garden place
Thanks for watching my video and comment Clive. Its great what you can find nowadays at Garden Centres. Used to be Horse Hair for hanging baskets or coconut husk hair that people bought for doing bushes. But now with these items from MyVillage.nl theres more to purchase at decent prices. ATB mate, take care, cheers Kevin 🙋♂️🤝👍
Howdy, nice video, greetings from the Netherlands😊
Thank you so very much for watching my video. So you are from Netherlands, great. Wonder if you have heard of this company MyVillage.nl they do great landscaping Materials & a lot cheaper than Woodland Scenics. Thanks for watching & I hope you enjoy my videos. Cheers & ATB Kevin 🙋♂️👍🤝
Hello kev mate nice class 105 looks superb, i see that advertised as a bargain at rails, shame it takes two decoders though for a 2 car unit, great video mate as always kind regards Danny 😀😊 😃
Thanks Danny for watching my video and comment. Yer taking 2 decoders is a bit much, but I've sent for Lenz 10231-02 8pins from ModellbahnShopLippe in Germany. So hopefully will arrive soon so I can get installed & fitted. Will do vid on it, taking bodies off & fitting decoders. Hopefully won't have to faf around with CV's as no experience with that stuff. Cheers mate, hope you are well. ATB mate cheers Kevin 🙋♂️👍🤝🛠🚉
Interesting! It has European couplings
Thank you S for watching my video and comment. Well those couplings on this 105 are F terrible. They don't connect together on track. I had to lay the cars on their sides to get the coupling to hook together. It might just be the design with this 105, but it's F 5h1t. I've just sent for Lenz 10231-02 8pin decoders from MBLippe with a cost of £18:57 includes post as I ordered x7. So would always have some to use. Cheers & ATB Kevin 🙋♂️👍🤝🛠🔩
Nice tools from lidle mate, Lidl is very hit and miss where I live as I’ve seen CZcams videos of a guy who buys these parkside tools for model railways and all the tools he’s filmed never ever are stocked in our three branch stores that I have round in my area, it’s great you managed to pick some handy tools up as they look like good bargains well done mate thanks for showing kind regards Danny 👍🏻👀👋🏻🤩
Thank you Danny for watching my video and comment. Is the channel you watch done by a bloke called Dan. If so I also watch & subscribed to his channel. Not sure if his videos are done on a monthly basis. So maybe when you see his videos the items may already have been sold out. Some items there's only a few go to each store. Best if you can go & just see what they have every Thursday as that's usually when new stock is put out. I usually go on Tuesdays, so that's why sometimes not much available. Hopefully you can get some useful things next time you go mate. ATB cheers Kevin 🙋♂️👍🤝🛠🔩⚙️
Lidl & aldi are awesome for getting starter tools that you don’t have an immediate use for but will one day.
Thanks for watching my video and comment. Trouble with Aldi & Lidl they can sometimes run out of the Great Items in middle aisles very fast. Think each shop only get a few of the best items, so atleast available country wide. Their tools are always great value & made in Germany not Cheap Charlie China. Wish UK would go back to home based engineering, atleast then items wouldnt fall to pieces during 1st Use like items made in CCC. Cheers Kevin 🙋♂️👍🤝🛠🔩⚙️
Wow awesome mystery box mate quite a few vehicles and they all look in great condition, love the stacker truck 🚚 thank you so much for the shout out my friend very much appreciated kind regards Danny 😀 😊😃
Thank you so very much Danny for watching my video and comment. More than welcome for the shoutout mate. Was hoping this video would take off with many views. But it seems to be flagging its arse on the ground. Well happy with box contents for 50 quid. Hope weather has cooled down so you can get up in loft this weekend. ATB mate take care & happy modelling. Cheers Kevin 🙋♂️👍🤝🛻
As someone who follows Buggleskelly Station's content (the guy is funny) it does suck this wagon didn't live up to par. Though, I suppose there is always room for improvement. I'm hoping this one was just a dud. Personally, I may not see myself buying this as I'm not a big fan of Dad's Army, but I will say this is still a better quality than Hornby's Only Fools & Horses range. Now if you made a set of wagons based off Monty Python, we'd be in business. :P
Thank you so very much Daniel for watching my video and comment. Yes the printing on this wagon is disappointing. Not sure if it was tampo printed or its decal sheet. It's very hard to tell especially with my aging eye sight. Happy modelling mate. ATB Kevin 🙋♂️👍🤝
