- Cavalex Class 56 Best RTR OO loco ever?
I’ll let you decide that one, but one thing is for sure it’s an absolute belter!
Well done Cavalex, this is my first purchase from the company & im sure it won’t be the last.
All I need to do now is build up a rake of coal hoppers for it to haul.
Thanks for watching

Thanks for Sharing. Beautiful layout. Liked and Subbed! Cheers, Andy
Lovely model with awesome sound.
Thanks for watching, yes the sound is very good. I’m using an EM1 speaker in the loco as I missed out on the factory fitted models.
Glad you liked it.

Modelu have got crew figures on sale for the Cavalex Class 56's. They do looks really good figures. Will buy some for my 56's.
The sound file is incredible
Yes it is, brilliant I’d say…🔊👍
I've bought 2 Cavalex Class 56's for my layout that is being built for me. Can't wait to run them on my layout.
Hopefully you won’t be disappointed John, I’m certainly not.
The Cavalex 56 is a fine model no doubt & if you’ve got sound fitted versions you’re in for a treat!
Thanks for watching & taking time to comment, sorry I’m a little slow in replying.

Gorgeous model, they seem to have that BR blue absolutely spot on too!
Yeah definitely, it was my first choice….trouble is I’d like another one now!!!
Thanks for watching

Looks and sounds bloody wonderful!
It is a fine machine, very impressive & so it should be for the money…..
Looks like Cavalex got their quality control spot on 👍
Very nice John, it’s looks and sounds great, great running session to.
The nearest loco that sounds as good is a Hattons 66, which is in a box somewhere. That beast shakes the loft!
Definitely get a full rake of MGRs. This 56 looks superb in blue!
Yes it does look ace in BR blue👍 The task of starting a rake of HAAs has started already, I don’t think my layout is big enough to handle 32 of them, but I reckon it will work with around 20😳💰💰💰😂
Cheers John b😎
Looks the biz, it’s the sound quality that makes the difference and seals the deal.
Still admiring your scenery, nice graffiti too👍
I like to add a bit of realism to the layout in the form of graffiti where I can, normally those IOAs don’t all have it showing. For some reason all the graffiti seems to be on one side of the train, I must turn a few wagons around😆otherwise people will start to moan!
Glad you liked the vid👍

Nice loco. I had the chance to get one but I didn't take them up on it. It does run well from what I have seen and defo think they have nailed it when it comes to quality. You know they have put thought into it as it comes in a cradle rather than the standard plastic shell. Tim
Yeah I have to agree, the quality control Cavalex have in place seems to be second to none.
I’ll be honest the 56 isn’t my favourite diesel loco, but I do have fond memories of watching them haul MGR trains as a kid. I was put off at first in buying a second hand Hornby one because of needing a good rake of hoppers for it to haul, looks like I’ll have to bite the bullet & start buying some more now!
Thanks for watching & commenting 👍

A fantastic loco, be very difficult to decide between the Accurascale 37 and the Cavalex 56 as to which is the best
It’s a tough call. 37s are my favourite loco. There’s 6!Accurascale 37s on the layout, there have been minor issues with one or two, nothing that can’t be fixed or worked around.
There’s only one Cavalex 56 & I’ll admit the real things I like, but not as much as the Tractor….
There’s something about the running & sound of the 56 that is edging it for me. I only really got one to see what all the fuss was about & now I wish I’d got another!!
It’s definitely a hard one to call…..👍
Hi, great loco, this is the best class 56 on the market to date in my opinion, I have the Railfreight grey livery model, is this the Legomanbiffo sound file? Thanks for sharing.
Yep it’s a wonderful model no doubt. To be honest I don’t think there’s a bad livery in the Cavalex range, they all seem fantastic. Trouble is I’d like another one now 💰💰💰
I need a lottery win!
I’m not sure who’s sound file it is, I’d need to check with roads_and_rails, it good 👍
Cheers John b😎
This is the sound file provided by Cavalex for the ESU Loksound V5, a few places are using it to reblow decoders so that DCC ready models can be upgraded being as the sound fitted models sold out almost immediately. I've built a few Hornby 56s over the years and I always went for the Legomanbiffo sound file. It used to be the best 56 model and sound combination on the market IMHO, but has been comprehensively surpassed by the Cavalex model.
