They were actually sent for scrap in july 28, 1968

[@ModelRailwaysUnlimited]

Thanks for watching

[@trevorworgan1098]

Delighted- why do we always forget what we do as a country well! Thankyou

[@ModelRailwaysUnlimited]

Very true Trevor

[@mytinplaterailway]

It's surprising - in a good way - that small retailers can commission these models. Thanks for all the films - Happy Christmas to you and your family. Ian

[@ModelRailwaysUnlimited]

Cheers Ian, yes Kernow seem consistently brilliant with them, have a great time

[@phil36310]

Thanks for sharing this history Mike. Nice video ! Best wishes, Filip

[@ModelRailwaysUnlimited]

Many thanks, another BTC loco

[@djdaz72]

Very nice what a lovely locomotive which runs well

[@ModelRailwaysUnlimited]

Yes really nice it's got a coreless motor but a big one. I'll be putting a 100uf non polorised capacitor across it.

[@neiloflongbeck5705]

There were no Co-Co or Bo-Bo diesel hydraulics as all wheels were connected together through the drive shafts and gearbox.

[@ModelRailwaysUnlimited]

Yes, they were B - B and C - C apart from this one which was an A1A

[@lewiscartwright3609]

Loved the History and I thoroughly enjoyed the video thank you Mike I have a Lima Class 42 Warship D828 Magnificent Although the loco doesn't have any Running numbers so I had to do a bit of History research to be able to find out what Running number Warship "Magnificent" Carried so I could get the right Number transfers

[@ModelRailwaysUnlimited]

Thanks Lewis, sounds like you did a great job

[@christianevangelista]

I’ve been debating on getting one of these. Might just treat myself to a Christmas present. Nice review as always!

[@ModelRailwaysUnlimited]

Go for it lol coreless motor as well

[@hotdogpilot6319]

Great video Mike, never knew much of the earlier Warship, shame none survived. ATB, Andy.

[@ModelRailwaysUnlimited]

Cheers Andy, yes quite an important bit of history!

[@victorprior7610]

Nice video. That's the neatest ballast Iv'e ever seen!

[@ModelRailwaysUnlimited]

Thanks, yes it is a Gaugemaster underlay.

[@paulbache3940]

what a brute of a loco ! great model, thanks for another great video

[@ModelRailwaysUnlimited]

Glad you enjoyed it, yes very powerful

[@paulc9588]

Great video. Always been a Warship fan, a real shame that the diesel hydraulics were axed after such a short time in service. BR green without the yellow warning panels looks stunning.

[@ModelRailwaysUnlimited]

Cheers Paul, yes it was odd, given the success on the continental railways

[@neiloflongbeck5705]

Class 41 was introduced in order to compare hydraulic transmission against the English Electric Type 4 (or Class 40).

[@ModelRailwaysUnlimited]

Lovely big locos, either of them

[@ciaranburke3243]

She's lovely mike 👍

[@ModelRailwaysUnlimited]

Thanks, I think so to

[@AdiPullen]

Hi mike I hope you are well Love the history It seems a great model heljan do it great Love runner too Thank you for sharing your models with us Keep safe ARP

[@ModelRailwaysUnlimited]

Glad you enjoyed it cheers Adi, I never knew Heljan made one as well

[@zoomer1979]

Hi Adi, I think this might actually have been the Dapol factory that made this. It has many similarities to their packaging and accessories. It is a great model, I've seen nothing but praise for it online, the only issues being as Mike says, the disc fitment and some had trouble with the couplings. Neil.

[@AdiPullen]

@@zoomer1979 my mistake sorry

[@zoomer1979]

@@AdiPullen no need to apologise, it doesn't matter who made it, as long as its done well, which it is. Heljan did the Olivia's Trains Class 77 EM2s which use the same bogies.

[@sjaakmcd1804]

Hi Mike, the odd thing is the real ones lasted 10 years and there have been model ones for 50 years. Now imagine these being models for 5 times lomger than the service life; Gronks, Rats, Tractors, Whistlers and Hoovers. Bachmann still building these in the 24th Century

[@ModelRailwaysUnlimited]

Lol yes very true, thanks for watching

[@jonswinfield9336]

I really enjoyed this video review Plus I enjoy looking at the details of your layout Noticed today you have prototypical gaps between the rails I can’t quite work out what the rail is bedded on Is it cork?🤔

[@ModelRailwaysUnlimited]

Thanks Jon, really kind of you. The underlay is from Gaugemaster

[@gcmet1063]

That’s a lovely loco Mike , I had one these on order from Kernow from the time they were announced and it was well worth the wait . Here’s my video from the day she arrived. kzbin.info/www/bejne/famTnXqmd8mZidE . David
