Just shows that with a little TLC and a small update to the motor these 30 year old locos still give so much pleasure and parts don't fall off on every circuit! Great stuff and wonderful to watch!
Hi, thanks so much for watching and the kind comments. I enjoy repairing and restoring old Locos it keeps my old brain active. Lima have made some very well detailed Steam and Diesel Locos, I find the Diesels can be improved by adding detailing and getting them running much better by fitting 12V CD motors. I can now run them very smoothly and slowly which is my main goal. As you say bits dont fall off them and they are simple to service. All the best, Paul.👍👍🙏
Hi ya Paul. Lovely locos. Deltic and 37s two of my favourites. What a great bargin you got there. Layout looking brilliant buddy, well done. Thanks for showing us Paul. Thumbs up thumped 👍 .... Pete....
Hi Pete, I also really like the 37s and Deltics, I have an old Hornby 37 and was very happy to buy these two Lima Deltics as part of a joblot of 4 Diesels. Thanks so much for your kind comments its most appreciated. Have a great week. Cheers, Paul. 👍👍🙏
Wow 🤩 from no Deltics to two Deltics... that's great! The two shades of green livery is fantastic, probably my favourite. I'd really fancy a Deltic, but I should grow my layout then 😅😊 maybe a baby Deltic then, but I think they are more difficult to get. At the moment my eyesight is not yet ideal, so I can't do much on the trains... Have a nice Sunday evening! Erik
Hi Erik, I was only looking for one then 2 came as part of the joblot of 4 so a real bargain. I also like the two tone green as it was a livery actually used. Sorry to hear your eyesight is still not ideal, I hope it improves soon. I hope you can get back to your trains and continue with self builds. All the best, Paul.👍👍🙏
Hello, Paul! Awesome locomotives, beautiful and so smooth runners! (How else, they're Tommy's, after all!). The colours are also beautiful. Thanks a lot for the video, I wish you a fine peaceful Sunday evening! / Chris
Hi Chris, Its amazing what some paint and some CD Motors can make to these Lima Locos. I am very happy how they look and run. I really have enough Diesels now. Have a great week. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏
Hi Anthony, I am very happy how these Locos look and run and at bargain prices. I will do my best to stop looking for more Diesels, I really have enough. I have said a million times "dont exagerate". 😂Thanks for the great comments. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏
Hi, I actually had my mug of tea near my controllers but didnt show it as I sometimes do. Thanks for watching and commenting its most appreciated. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏
My wife sat in the driving seat of the Green Howards at Staveley last year 2 weeks before she suddenly passed away, Cannot bring myself to visit Staveley at the moment, Nice painting job though.
Hi Tony, very sad to hear of your wife passing away. I understand how difficult it must be for you. Thanks for watching and commenting its very much appreciated. Best Regards, Paul.
The Deltic's should have two exhausts Paul.Thats what makes them sound amazing. I prefer the two-tone green one to be honest. But they both look great running round. All the best.
Hi Tim, I dont understand why the repainted Deltic only has one Exhaust?. They are both Lima made in Italy.. I also prefer the two tone green Deltic as it was a livery actually used. I repainted the BR Blue Deltic as it didnt fit in with my layouts period. They are nice smooth runners so very happy with them. Have a great week, Cheers Paul.👍👍🙏
Hi James, Thanks for the kind comments, I am happy I now have this latest Deltic in my collection, They are a fine looking Loco with a great history, its good a number are still in preservation. All the best, Paul.👍👍🙏
@@DYLINGTONMODELRAILWAY Hi James, just looked at Deltic 55 013 in BR Blue, it looked stunning. I have the Hornby model of 47406 on the turntable. Great video a chance to see some super Locos. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏
Hi Michael, I have the Lima 33, very nice livery and runs well. I am happy now I have these Deltics they look superb and as you say smooth runners. All the best, Paul.👍👍🙏
@@MichaelDavies-pg8td Hi Michael, these 12V CD motor installations are really easy to do. My suggestion would be to watch OO Bill on CZcams and follow his tutorials. There are many videos covering these installs but are basically the same proceedures. You will need a sharp hobby knife, small screwdrivers, Soldering Iron, fine wet and dry paper (for deburring the gears), oil or grease for the gears. You should receive 2 gears in the set as they need to be cut as per the instructions usually 4mm long. The spare gear is included if you make a mistake cutting the gear to length. I push out the bearing on the gear side to avoid the gear rubbing on it but many leave them in. You will need to choose which CD Motor to install as there are wider motors for Bo-Bo bogies and narrower CD Motors for Co-Co bogies like on the 37s. Its all down to you which motor to install, I prefer the Wider versions which may need the center axles either being removed or glued up to clear the tracks. Wiring is simple, sometimes the red wire connects to the motor or to the front bogie it depends whos CD conversion you buy. Test the direction of running before applying the heatshrink then its job done. 🪛⚙👍👍🙏
Gid moaning Mimi, Google failed to translate moo fronsh. I cricked up liffing az wool. I cannot find why Lima changed the Exhausts from 2 to one. I nid Inspoctor Cluso to invostegoot ze moosteree of ze oles in ze rufe. Rene Atwa, Callin Nightawk.👍👍🙏
Hi Paul, That's a really good deal, especially going from none to 2. The two tone green does look very good as a livery, but the Yeomanry in green looks good too. Lima did some nice modelsnof the Deltics, along with Hornby Dublo. Steven
Hi Steven, I came across a joblot of 4 Diesels and saw there were 2 Deltics, I was lucky to win the bid and get them very cheaply. The two tone green Deltic is a great prototypical livery and suits the design of the Loco perfectly. My green re-liveried Deltic is my personnel favorite though. Fitting 12v CD Motors has really improved the running of my Lima Diesels, I need to order some more and convert the few remaining Limas still on their ringfield motors. Its far too hot in my attic now so its back to the RC Boats in the pool and finish my Submarine repairs. All the best, Paul.👍👍🙏
@@paulvozman842 Enjoy the weather mate, I'm already looking forward to Spring. It's been a chilly wet Winter down here. I've got the Dublo version of the 2 tone Deltic, named after a racehorse. Also got the Lima Fife and Foefar Yeomonry somewhere as well. I'll have to dig them out. Cheers mate. Steven.
@@stevenpeaketrainsandstuff3682 Hi Steven, it would be good to see your Deltics, I have never seen the Duplo model. I am interested in seeing these two Locos and whether there are any comparisons to the body detailing. I am spending a lot of time outside at the moment and finally getting a swim in my pool. Its a chance to test the new systems in my Sub. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏

Hi Paul, great video. There's a slight difference, but they both run well👍👍👍👍
Hi Windy, I still havent found out why one has two exhausts. Never mind they look superb and run well. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏
Hopefully, a nice cup of tea for all your hard work.

@paulvozman842 the Deltic Presentation Society, is based very near to us 🙂👍

@paulvozman842 have a look at our Barrow Hill Roundhouse video, but not the garden railway one. There's a glimpse inside the Deltic shed 🙂👍

Nice those Paul I haven’t got a Deltic yet I am a fan of the class 33 and 37 from Lima.
They certainly are smooth runners well done you 😊👍🚂🚂
Hi Michael, I have the Lima 33, very nice livery and runs well. I am happy now I have these Deltics they look superb and as you say smooth runners. All the best, Paul.👍👍🙏
I may have to try one of these motor changes out of 10 how hard is it to do? What specialist tools do you need ? I have a soldering iron etc.

No translation necessary Rene....I split my sides when I saw that....Mimi. Deltic should have two exhaust ports... bit of a mystery.
Gid moaning Mimi, Google failed to translate moo fronsh. I cricked up liffing az wool.
I cannot find why Lima changed the Exhausts from 2 to one.
