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 Andre, thanks for the kind comments. Have a great week. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏

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. 👍👍🙏

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.👍👍🙏

Hi Alberto, thanks for the great comments, these Lima Deltics are very good Locos. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏

@@paulvozman842 thanx

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 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.👍👍🙏

Hi Andrew, thanks for watching and the kind comments its most appreciated. All the best, 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.👍👍🙏

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

Hi James, I hope you visit there and make a video of these amazing Locos. Cheers, Paul.

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

@@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 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 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.

@@MichaelDavies-pg8td Hi Michael, these 12V CD motor installations are really easy to do. My suggestion would be to watch OO Bill on KZbin 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. 🪛⚙👍👍🙏

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 Windy, I still havent found out why one has two exhausts. Never mind they look superb and run well. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏

Hi Fim, thanks for the great comment. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏

Hi Andreas, thanks for watching my video and for the kind comment. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏

Hi Michael, Yes it was you I was refering to about Loco prices. I have paid high prices for my 2 DCC Locos some years ago but never again. I am very pleased how these 2 Lima Diesels turned out, I was expecting some negative comments about not liking the BR blue liverys but so far all the remarks are positive. As I mentioned I bought 4 Locos for 80 pounds and even after fitting CD motors they were around 35 pounds each. I already had the Vallejo paints and decals. I have one more from the 4 I bought that I am finishing and hope to show it on Sunday, its in its origional livery so just highlighting some details and a CD motor change. Thanks for your very kind comments and support in my efforts to keep these older Locos running. All the best, Paul.👍👍🙏

Hi Paul you are more than welcome. 😊👍🚂🚂

Hi Carl, thanks for the positive comments its most appreciated. I am very happy how these Lima Diesels turned out at a around 35 pounds each a real bargain. I have one more from the 4 I bought that I am working on, its in its origional livery. I actually got the idea to buy this one after watching one of your videos some time ago. I did mention in my comments to you I would like to have this model. All will be revealed next Sunday. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏

Hi Al, thanks for the great comments, I am very pleased how they turned out and are running with the CD motors. Thanks for watching, have a great week. All the best, Paul.👍👍🙏

Hi Steven, I have bifocal glasses but lately my vision has not been very good close up. I bought 4 Diesels 3 of them were in BR blue but had decided to change the livery to green as blue does not suit my layouts period. I am so happy how they turned out and how they run so well with 12v CD motors. Lima Locos have quite good detailing, the change from blue to green has brought these out very nicely. I have one more Diesel from the 4 that has its origional livery, it just needs a new CD motor and a good clean. I will show this one next Sunday and compare it with another similar Lima Diesel. I hope you show your Class 8 when you finish detailing it. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏

Hi, good question, I would not paint an MT Diesel in brown its not my favorite color for a Loco. Howver my GWR Railcar in brown and cream looks great as does my Class 73 Pullman Diesel in the same livery. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏

Hi, thanks for watching and commenting, to be honest I retained the Scottish nameplate as it looked nice with the new green livery. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏

Hi Phil, Thank you very much!, Cheers, Paul.

Hi Anthony, thanks for the great comments, I am very happy how these two Diesels turned out. My Nephew has much better eyesight than me and made a good job of the Deltic Loco. Have a great week. Cheers, Paul. 👍👍🙏

Hi Tim, The Deltic is amazingly quiet, I never thought it would run so well even with a CD Motor. The Class 50 is also fairly quiet so very happy how these Lima Locos turned out in their new livery. Have a great week, all the best, Paul.👍👍🙏

Hi James, We decided to make this a joint effort, the end results are 2 Lima Diesels that I am very happy with. All the best, Paul.👍👍🙏

Hi Chris, I am glad I decided to change to livery on these Lima Diesels, I am very happy with the end results. Adiing small details really changes these Locos and adds realism. The persons at 6.50 had just returned from a tea break 😂. Seriously these have been on the layout for years. Thanks as always for your great comments and support. Have a great week. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏

Hi Andre, thanks for the kind comments and xour support. Have a reat week. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏

Hi Alberto, Many thanks for your very kind comments they are really appreciated. I like the 50s and 60s periods of the railways, Cars, trucks and buses they had great designs. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏

Hi Erik, I was surprised how these 4 Lima Locos were in quite good condition for the price. The CD Motors are a great improvement to the running and well worth around 14 pounds each. I like when someone gives me advice like when you suggested painting the connecting rods its made a big difference how the Shunter looks. Its a shame you dont have a bigger layout then you could run some of the larger Trains. I like what you have done with your layouts they have a lot of detail. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏

Hi Windy, I am lucky to have a Nephew who shares my hobbies and enjoys repairing and painting models. These Lima Locos really are a bargain and run superbly. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏

Hi Al, I like to think I have encouraged my Nephew to enjoy modelling and now he is very good at many aspects of the hobby. He really did a great job on my Deltic. All the best, Paul.👍👍🙏

Hi Michael, I am also spending more time outside, been testing my sub in the pool. In my next video I hope to show some Diesels I bought used and after motor changes and new liveries have spent a fraction of what a new locos cost. I have seen Sams Trains reviewing Accurascale Locos they seem to be very well made, great if they can keep the prices down. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏

Good Morning Paul.I think a lot of the problems people have is when they buy ‘fully loaded’ locos,I mean don’t get me wrong some I have seen on DCC are fantastic to watch,but they should be for the price.But more often than not they can be a right ball ache too 😭😏✌️

Hi Michael, I like to keep my DC Locos simple with Led lamps in some and a few added details. I have two DCC Locos that rarely get used, I may convert the Black 5 to DC one day. I agree with you, these DCC Locos are great to watch but can have issues. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏

Hi Carl, This Mehano Mountain Express Loco is a gem, its an amazing looking and running Loco. I have spent a little time today fitting finer wires to the tender coupling plug as the ones I first put were too stiff. Thanks for watching. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏

Hi Andre, many thanks for watching and the great comments. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏

Hi Alberto, thanks so much for the very kind comments. Glad you like my 08 Shunter. Cheers, Paul. 👍👍🙏

Hi James, thanks for the great comments, I am lucky I dont have all the chaos of the bins being emptied on my layout. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏

@paulvozman842 it's always manic in Dylington, on bin day 😁👍

Hi Steven, I am very happy how well the Mehano Steamer looks and runs. I just need to change the wires on the tender plug to finer ones as the wires I fitted are too stiff. When I looked at the Lima 08 in the video I noticed I had missed a few spots so a touch up is needed. As I said I am not a fan of the BR blue livery on these Locos so a repaint in green it was. I call my M7 the "wisperer" it is probably the quietest loco I have and is a great looking model. I bought it new over 8 years ago, it doesnt get run very much so its still in good condition. I am glad you have enjoyed my Steamy Sundays and for all your support. Next Sunday I will feature some used Diesels that are having a makeover I think you might like the end results. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏

Hi Erik, These 4 wheel coaches are good for my tight branch line curves, although not prototypical they look nice. I am thinking of painting the Limas connecting rods in red they do look too shiny. I am very happy with my latest Mehano, one of the best steamers I have in my collection now. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏

Hi Fim, thanks for the great comment I really appreciate it. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏

Hi Patrick, The SR M7 was the last new Hornby Loco I bought over 8 years ago, since then I have mostly bought used one and like to restore them. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏

@@paulvozman842 I also like restoring locomotives. In 2022 I brought my old trainset home from its resting place on top of the wardrobe in my ex room at my parent's house. It consisted in three Lima locomotives and some passenger stock and goods wagons, plus a few buildings. Since then I've expanded the fleet with second hand purchases on the Vinted platform adding Jouef, Piko, Hornby acHO, Lima, GèGè and Kleinbahn locomotives and rolling stock. Steam engines are my favourite, but I've also like old Italian electric locos. I also enjoy making scratch built freelance railcars and rail buses based on existing models in a "what if" scenario, using diesel running units. Your layout is beautiful, mine is very basic as I don't have space for a permanent one. That factory is a real cracker!

Hi Clive, I just need to connect some finer wires to allow the tender to move more freely. I am very happy with this Loco its a great runner. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏

Hi Windy, I am very happy how the Mehano Steamer runs. I really like the shunter now its in a green livery, just need a few touch ups. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏

Hi, many thanks for watching, I appreciate your kind comments. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏

Hi Tim, I was surprised how well it ran when I bought it, just a clean and light oil was enough. The King and Lima Shunter run much better with CD motors fitted. Thanks for watching and the kind comments. Have a great week. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏

Hi Michael, Fitting CD motors really has improved the Lima Shunter and KG5, they do run much smoother. The Hornby Jinty just had a clean and light oiling and is also a super runner. I have one more Steamer from the 3 I bought which I will run next Sunday after a few minor repairs, now this one is amazingly smooth. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏

Sounds good Paul you must have a great collection now.Take care,Michael.
