- A chap called Jason asked if I would like to have a rake of 9 Hornby EWS Hopper Wagons as a donation! Couldn't say no to that very generous offer. However, the offer was a lot more generous than I thought.....
Big thanks to Jason.

What a generous chap is Jason, not only does he donate you some hopper wagons but we get the benefit of a video on how to take a 66 apart and fix it! All with your excellent commentary and repair skills Bill. Thank you very much for your continuing instruction.
What a guy Jason is 🤩 Never feel guilty 0Bill as your time and effort making the videos is enough never mind the free fixing videos you do 👍🏻
This is GOOD entertainment, gentle, informative and great to watch, thank you Bill.
You shouldn’t feel guilty, Bill. Your videos are a great service to educating people on locomotive repair and giving them the confidence to do it. Not to mention I’m sure you have inspired a lot of people to take a look at older locos like Limas that they wouldn’t normally have given a second thought and bring them into good running condition. You deserve to be rewarded!
Great donation for the new layout. Well deserved. Your videos are really great with very helpful hints and comments. Looking forward to your future uploads.
an idea for when you find holes in the grill, use the fabric from an old speaker to go under the hole so it hides the wires but gives the illusion of grill.
Miss seeing my favourite railway workers watching the locos coming and going in and out of the shed😉. I do enjoy your Videos.
When I start doing the landscape detail the shed area will be done first. So you shouldn't have too long to wait before the workies are back.
Yet another gr8 fixit donation video there Bill..Amazing how memories are made when i heard heard hoppers going over the liftout section in your layout reminds me of coming back from our weekend lake house 2 hours away to our Sydney house in Rozelle and going over the Iron
Cove Bridge at birkenhead point and sounded like badump badump badump popom badump badump badonmp popom badump badump popom popom popom and it use to wake me up and i would remember how lucky i was going to my safe home and to my trainset that layed all over my floor in my bedroom. Thanks for the memories Bill.
Cheers and thanks from John in Australia.
Superb as always Bill and a shout out to Jason. 🎉
Nice gift. That low angle as the hoppers cross the viaduct is particularly good. Need to leave a camera sized gap in the landscaping there I think! Cheers
not much for diesels, but have a soft spot for boxcabs. whole train looks great! well done. looking forward to seeing your take on scenery.
All jiggery-faffery aside, that is a very nice donation, lucky you and well deserved. Looks great running on the layout. Thanks for sharing and thank you Jason!
Yes I love the expression "jiggery faffery"
Wow what a super kind thing of Jason to do!
Coming along just fine Bill. It`s nice to have a train or two running whilst working on the layout..and a `Well Done to Jason `👍👍
That was kind of Jason, you've got yourself a full train, as you said perfect for your new layout. Look forward to seeing more progress on it. All the best. Brian @ The Angels
Good job using the grey sandpaper to patch,thanks for the entertainment
Don't be guilty , they'll all be part of a thoroughly entertaining video before long . Happy days .
Lovely donation
Very lucky there Bill

Hi Bill love your donation very generous of him looks good layout looking good keep up your great work and videos Bernard
Hi Bill. Just shows how your videos are appreciated. Would have thought you could salvage a grill from a scrap loco from somewhere for a couple of quid, well worth it for such a nice loco. New layout looking good . Mick
Hi Bill Notice you use a flame for the heat shrink and burn yourself! Never tried the side of the soldering iron shank works really well ,just a thought , great channel really look forwards to the next episode ,great work new layout looks good and practical . Best wishes Dave (bish)
Wow what a donation Bill, simple service as such for you, also add some coal to the wagons not ballast!
This Jason is a top guy nice gift from him
The late 90s and early 2000s we used to go to Dawlish Warren for a holiday and you would see 47s and 66s running there and what are the 47's used to be Lady Diana Spencer and sadly when she died they painted the loco black and remove the name plate what trigger that memory was seeing that 66
Another great video tutorial Bill. I have a couple of Bachman SD40 locomotives that will try to service. Thanks Peter.
Wow, that's a great addition to the layout Bill.
i didnt realise those shafts had to lubricated so i will be doing mine
A handsome donation indeed, and nicely timed - you'll be spreading a fair bit of ballast soon. A litle stop go animation perhaps?
very nice, i have a rake of ews wagons and 4 different ews locos, nice livery
you lucky man nice loco & wagons
Hi Bill.
Great donation, you did well there my friend. And good to see you run her at the correct prototypical speed.
I always use Plastikard for filling gaps as it is very flexible and comes in many different thicknesses.
I like the way you've painted the walls a sky blue as a backdrop. Is that a DCC ready radiator I spy on one of them?
Paul. 👍
Bill, I can send you a complete PCB with all the light fittings for your 66 as I changed all my 8 pin for 21 pin.
Sounds like an offer I can't refuse. Ping me an email via the About tab!
The day/night switch *should* change the side of the high intensity headlight if it mimics the prototype. Day time should have the high intensity light on the right, marker light on the left and vice versa for night so as not to blind the oncoming driver.
Great fix.
Great shot @18:56 🙂👍🏼
Amazing gift i wouldnt feel guilty
Lucky man Bill. The Bachmann 66 is a great runner and it'll pull a really long load.
I myself would put screw couplings on make them look more realistic Bill
quite like the bachmann 66 they will happily pull 40 plus hoppers of that size
Errrm the light above the cab does not seem (on video at least) to be working! It would be powered from the wire(s) that you repaired! Edited Oh as usual I made a comment before watching to the end,... The top lights age a P in the elbow with the way that they are wired to the PCB,... Hopefuly you'll get new ones sorted from Bachmann.. Also as you found out, allways best to put the drive shaft into the bogie first, ... Once again a wonderful donation from Jason!
Great gift! Will you add a coupling at the end where its missing or add detailing?
Let us witness a rakes progress, hopper after hopper after hopper after hopper, where and when does it stopper.
Bill, I have a soldering iron same as yours and it goes through tips very quickly, what is the best temperature to set it at? I think I may have mine too high.
Great video the Bachman 66 is a great model.
Try using decent quality tips. I use a Hakko one. The ones that come with soldering iron kits are awful and oxidise after a couple uses. My iron is set to 250°
Love the new TT layout but now you need another room for your old OO stuff too.
What makes you think this is TT?
d the missing light added nice video bill
