Opening the Hornby Class 67 in DB Schenker

Whether the livery is DB Schenker, EWS, Arriva or even the Royal Train, the Class 67 by Hornby does not disappoint. Easily one of the finest examples of a modern image diesel electric in OO gauge that money can buy!
A must say a MASSIVE THANKS to Gareth Peate for the loan of this stunning model. Please check out his links...

[@rarejer]

Enjoyed this very much, and was mighty proud about the maple leaf. :) Yes, am a Canuck.

[@gawuffy]

Lovely video, Will - I'm so glad you liked it! I don't know why, but Arriva Trains Wales didn't ever apply the livery that their 57s had to their 67s when they replaced them - they just left them in blue, which is a bit plain.

[@Jonathan27172]

They had it on there DVT as well

[@Aircmdr]

Gareth I think they have added it now according to my dad who drives them

[@michaelkmathen3183]

Gareth can you send me one of those

[@Raygun-xb2st]

Aircmdr they haven't The only reason it's plain is because it can be seen on freight

[@7APT7]

Great Review! You do a good in-depth talk through! I like to hear your enthusiasm and enjoyment, the excitement in your voice like a little child whose just been given it as a gift and can’t wait to get it in the tracks lol always great to watch!

[@reynantebulaon4513]

Jamie Smith through this review, will had me buy a class 67 in arriva blue livery, and a bachmann class 66 before that, and i never even model UK prototype! Such convincing powers.

[@reynantebulaon4513]

this review made me buy my own class 67 in arriva trains livery, and i was never disappointed, you also made me buy a bachmann class 66 as well because of your reviews, you got me hooked on british models, way to go:-)

[@tjfSIM]

Wow, I can't believe there are only 30 of these, that's crazy! You see them all the time up north, and we see them all the time down here too - for 30 locos, they certainly seem to get about!

[@InterCity82]

tjf4375 I know! So true!

[@br60066]

You really need to get a Hornby class 60. It will blow your mind. The detail is out of this world and the loco is unbelievably powerful.

[@minsterley2002]

A very smooth loco. Got the Arriva Blue one on mine, behind 5x Mk3's and a DVT andit's a joy to watch!

[@InterCity82]

Minsterley Sounds good!

[@157RANDOM]

Yea, EMD builds the class 66 in London, Ontario Canada. I used to see them go through my hometown on trains headed for Halifax to be shipped to the UK

[@dgsilverman]

great review. I've got the old tooling queen's messenger and the new arriva model. Its crazy how DB are taking over british railway companies. EWS, Arriva and LOROL!

[@noelbullard4676]

Love the upgrade on the packaging the foam stuff was getting out of date and glad hotnby now put the loco description on the box

[@KeithTucker45]

Great video, Will. Excellent loco.

[@josephhearnden5156]

You sould do the sunday running video of the four of them double heading two different trains!

[@sohailanjum1439]

It's beautiful boss I loved it

[@swtrains1499]

I am really tempted to get one (or maybe more!) :)

[@2595220]

Nice review will

[@matthewwardrobe9588]

67001-67003 are with Arriva Trains Wales in blue, 67004 & 67010 is in Caledonian Sleeper Blue and operated by Serco, 67012-67015 are owned by chiltern currently subleased to DBS, the rest of the class is owned by DB schenker. 67005 & 67006 are the allocated royal train locomotives and carry royal claret, 67018 & 67027 are in DBS Red, 67026 is in jubilee silver, 67029 is in DB Schenker silver with the rest of the class being in EWS Red and Gold. 17 of the class carry nameplates

[@Moleman978]

I have the Wrexham & Shropshire Class 67 and also the W&S Mk3 DVT, I just don't have any W&S Mk3 coaches so my consist looks a little odd, however I think odd pretty much sums up my loco collection anyway ;)

[@gawuffy]

Moleman978 I think Hornby have discontinued the W&S mk3s now, so it might be worth picking up a couple if you wanted any - you'd only need three for a set, though nobody produces the first/buffet so maybe you'd need four :)

[@ScottishNSRailFan]

May start buying this class 67 for my collection

[@Class66Rocks]

I have the same model mate, great review

[@InterCity82]

***** Thanks, matey!

[@robelloway4381]

i've only got the Arriva one my only class 67 i got.

[@willwarde-norbury2402]

so much quality

[@lewiscarty5517]

I saw a DB Schenker diesel engine in a siding at a station near Coventry or somewhere near there, on the way up from London St. Pancras/Kings Cross station, into Derby, not sure if it was.

[@oliveristrainsmad]

you could be a model shop salesman as u have convinced me to get one!

[@jacksullivan3705]

You should go train spotting for this loco if you see so many 67s in Crewe!

[@hollyweaver4037]

Cool locomotives

[@AshHill07]

Fun fact, the Class 67's were originally designed to be Co-Co units, but at the time they couldn't get 3 axle bogies that could also provide 125 MPH running, so they went with lighter Bo-Bo bogies instead of the route availability.

[@InterCity82]

AshHill07 Oh! I did read up about them prior to filming (as always) but didn't read about that - so thanks.

[@Jammyhero]

Hey intercity what would you recommend as a starter set for me? I am 11 and I am really interested in these, i am looking for around 50-60 £ please respond! Thanks

[@ericpierre53]

Great Review! It would be cool if maybe you reviewed some Bachmann Junior Locomotives and maybe even Set, For example the Digital Starter Set That Came with an 0-6-0T That re used the same moulding as the US HO Thomas and A 0-4-0 That Had Percy's Molding if you can get a hand on those, i'm pretty sure they are on eHattons. I Would love to see a review on those engines, especially since they are both DCC.

[@theofreeman7770]

I think your quite right when you say "Is there anything British left?!" That's because DB Schenker own Arriva, who own Cross Country and Arriva also own Chiltern Railways.

[@joshbayliss2417]

I have the ews one 67025 it is such a gorgeous loco and that one

[@jacoblowe6475]

josh bayliss wow i have ews class 67026

[@jamesmckelvey]

for the Sunday short you should temporarily put some decoders in the non DCC ones and consist them all together

[@TransportCambs]

AWSOME

[@sammyeds6406]

could you do a review on the class 390, in know that you have done it already but i''d like to see you do it again! thankyou

[@lewiscrick674]

good vid man do one next about how many trains u have from u doing youtube

[@InterCity82]

Lewis Crick That wouldn't be a video... that would be a film lol

[@thebirminghamtrainspotter8657]

Nice

[@sbr7018]

I want to get into Hornby / Minature train sets. What do you think I should start off with?

[@nigelcarter2789]

Hornby are really improving

[@milwaukeerailroadroblox2539]

Does it the same locomotive come in the red rove train😊 set?

[@OverthrownEvan]

when are you doing the ews class 67 and the wrexham & shropshire class 67 and the arivia class 67 and the wrexham & shropshire dvt sent in from gareth

[@alfiewhittaker3763]

what type of train will they run

[@awp2902]

Cool

[@oscarlavall]

Great review as always!! I am always waiting for new videos from you, I love them. This unboxing is special for me because I live 30 kilometers far from the factory where class 67 were built. About that "strange" combination of nacionalities I can add some information. The Alstom factory in Valencia, now Vossloh España and formerly Macosa, has been building EMD locomotives since 1962, first models under license and since GEC Alsthom (hey, something British) took the factory, were developed new locomotives (Prima range) using EMD engines and electrics. These locomotives developed in Spain are exported to countries such Israel, Egypt, U.K. or reciently South Africa. The new class 68 also come from the same factory and is the Vossloh Eurolight model but in this case there is not EMD technology, instead of the 2 stroke 710 engine there is a Caterpillar 4 stroke engine and ABB electrics. Nowadays, Vossloh is not interested on building rolling stock and wants to sell this factory. Best whishes from an N gauge Spanish fan!!

[@InterCity82]

oscarlavall Wow! Thanks for the info! Glad you like the vids - I promise to try and keep it that way.

[@ratbertthethird]

I recently got a class 67 and it says DCC ready but does that mean it's got a decoder fitted

[@yamaoutboard]

no it does not it means it is dcc ready for a decoder to be fitted

[@TransportCambs]

I have seen this at Huntingdon Railway Station

[@TheDarylSharp]

Hi Will, do you think you will get a chance to visit the new hitachi train production facility up in the north east?

[@DelticSPproductions]

I'm getting one

[@HungryGuyStories]

Wow! I didn't know anybody writes actual letters by hand on thin slabs of dead trees any more and then has them physically delivered to the recipient by putting them into moving metal boxes powered by dead dinosaur farts any more, lol.

[@BritishRail60062]

Great review will. I would recommend adding one to the shopping list along with a Class 60 from Hornby as they are fantastic models. I reviewed this one back in 2013 and I have added the detail to the front end as well as I have painted the buffers into Revell USAF grey. I have added a driver to my model of 67018 to give it more realism. Tell Gareth from me that he has an impressive Class 67 fleet. Best Regards Ash.

[@BritishRail60062]

Same here buddy.

[@joshbayliss7972]

Hi will try the ews 67

[@callumnicolson9984]

I might buy one and repaint one in Caledonian Sleeper livery, does anyone knows where I can get one?

[@abtravel0279]

The Next Sunday Short Should be about all of the 67's running in a days work

[@wojciechp3752]

I saw a class 67 DB schenker in my school in Bicster

[@BRClass-jq2sb]

Why did this get a review before it appeared in a mailbox video yet the stuff people sent in months ago mostly hasn't appeared on any videos since the mailbox they appeared in? I've not sent anything in but it does seem a bit unfair to those who sent stuff in way back in January/February such as the Bachmann B1 and the Lima Class 33 and Lima Class 50 to still be waiting for a video of some sorts on it and yet this got a video on it instantly.

[@brandobyker1131]

Have you not noticed that this 67 is a bo-bo yet is called a co-co on the paperwork!

[@bradgreen6719]

On my passenger based 00 gauge railway i have: 17x class 67's 3x class 90's 2x a4 pacifics 9x class 86's 1x class 60 10x class 91 16x mk1 coaches 161x mk3 coaches 136 mk4 coaches 5x stations 3x fiddle yards

[@gawuffy]

Brad Green Wow, I only have 11x 67s (and Will has four of those now) - you must love them more than I do :)

[@GWRailFan]

hey man where is the over reviews haha miss them

[@bavarianbanshee]

Hi again, Will. Sorry to make a second request on the very next review, but I just had to ask. Haha. Do you think you could maybe, possibly review the Hornby LB&SCR A1 / A1X? (Pretty pretty please?) The A1 is my favorite locomotive in the whole world, and I would love to know what you think of it before I decide on importing one all the way to America. Cheers.

[@bavarianbanshee]

+Blue Diesel That's going to be fantastic. Do they have new tooling?

[@Aircmdr]

Arrival didn't put the logo on it as its a rent like loco. Arriva still have 2 68's 5 coaches and a DVT. This train goes from Cardiff to Chester each day!

[@gawuffy]

jackstar275 Almost - they have two sets (though only one has a first class / buffet) - both start from Holyhead, and one runs to Cardiff each morning and returns in the evening, where the other operates a shuttle service to Manchester (via Chester and Crewe) and back :)

[@Aircmdr]

Yes exactly! the 67 pulls a DVT and a 5 coach set including 1 buffet and 1 first class. I cant wait for hornby to release the DVT and Coaches in a pack

[@Aircmdr]

ignore the hornby part just looked it up and found them on there!

[@gawuffy]

+jackstar275 It's only four coaches usually - the buffet and first class are contained in the same car (there's no additional first class accommodation). This is strengthened with an additional couple of standard class mk3s occasionally though, when the train is used on football or rugby fan specials to Cardiff or Wembley.

[@sammyeds6406]

jackstar275 they also go to Holyhead On the Isle Of Anglesey/Ynys Mon (where I live.

[@joshbayliss7972]

I have got the Dcc ready eyes one

[@Jonathan27172]

When watching this my arriva class 67 was going around me

[@michaeldale5416]

Hi I love watching your videos could you post a video on the smokey joe please I will be looking forward to watching thanks good luck

[@InterCity82]

Mike Dale Thanks for the comment! I don't actually own Smokey Joe but I have looked at 0-4-0s in the past.

[@mychemicalbromance97]

EMD are no longer owned by GM, I don't remember exactly when they were sold so I don't know how many if any 67s' engines were made under GM or now Caterpillar

[@InterCity82]

iamnotgeoff Thanks for the info!

[@OverthrownEvan]

my baby brother luke loves your vids hes 7mounths old

[@coastaku1954]

That maple leaf looks like it was taken of the Canadian flag

[@ritchiescott4684]

+Ever Free Gaming Yes it is from the Canadian Flag which links Keith Heller a the former chairman of the English, Welsh and Scottish Railway (EWS, now DB Schenker), who retired in late January 2011. Heller began with Canadian National in 1966.

[@froig28]

EMD also made the American gp40.

[@olliecopie4552]

close to derby theirs a shunting yard and there tones of class 67 i think.

[@ianzthingz1]

ollie copie That's Toton yard (near me) home of DB schenker and lots of 66's :)

[@CyberGlitched848]

hey! Intercity82 i have a idea ,next time you review a other model (new one you just got) maybe put a other model on the other line... well its just for showing one working when you are reviewing a new one. good idea, right? (if you don't want to do that, i'm fine with that)

[@InterCity82]

Jon108480 Plays Games I think I have done that in the past. I tend to keep running like that to the Sunday Shorts now.

[@CyberGlitched848]

+InterCity82 oh ok then I should know that channel can do whatever they want to do on their channel but thanks for letting me know anyway

[@topdollars2]

9:44 does that manual say "Co-Co"??

[@fredtedstedman]

you're right -should say Bo-Bo.

[@Trainmaster909]

Ooooooooooh! A GERMAN TRAIN! HELL YEAH

[@TheTankTacticianofEngland]

Living near Toton means you see these 'skip's' bombing about the yard complex in many liveries like the maple leaf, sliver, DB Corporate Red, EWS livery. Shame they are wasted engines because they are designed for the mail service by Royal Mail but then got cancelled, so sad.

[@InterCity82]

TheTankTactician Indeed! And I knew they had a nickname of sort sort - thanks for reminding me!

[@christopheralvis7794]

Can you please do bachmann Shakespeare express train pack opening if you can please let me know

[@Tornado-dk8vx]

did any one see the mistake on the instructions with saying co-co locomotive but on the box it says bo-bo

[@trainsonthetrainsimworld2915]

Next please do the EWS class 67

[@trainfingers478]

will you be getting the P2????

[@InterCity82]

TrainFingers47 Video is queued for end of the month/start of September.

[@trainfingers478]

InterCity82 nice one

[@citizenerased1992]

10 minutes of the bloody box!?

[@bahnspotterEU]

I think putting a driver into the loco isn't actually that good, because it means that even though your loco has two cabs there is still a fixed "front". I think this limits the usability of your loco.

[@tr-8r750]

Can you do a class 62 DB please.

[@tr-8r750]

I mean 92

[@Ambraham]

can we do more APT project

[@InterCity82]

Jonhjon222 More is due very soon - it's Craig's project... not mine.

[@greeniestrains1856]

True facts about me i used to drive 67's before we replaced them with,sorry to anyone who likes them, the horrible 68's here at chiltern. But it can't get worse than my new job driving pacers for northern rail starting in october. You know what i might change my name to class 67 .fan

[@AlfiePerriman]

5:20 you didnt mention ews

[@belfastbusfan]

i thought the class 67s had some connection with General Motors

[@belfastbusfan]

i was never too sure if they did but now i know.

[@whitewallwheels1hardcore.m_o_h]

snow plows you must have seen them before on other deisels

[@oologahnorthernrailroad8873]

Well EMD made the GP40-2 and Bachman made your model

[@MunroMcs98]

The class 67 actualy has a top speed of 140 although it is limited to 125.

[@MisterHampshire]

In answer to your question, Will, essentially, as a King outranks a Queen, The Duke of Edinburgh can't be referred to as King because Her Majesty is Queen in her own right. Once Prince Charles is crowned King, he is King in his own right and Camilla can, therefore, become Queen.

[@Aircmdr]

Arrive have 67001 and 67002!

[@gawuffy]

jackstar275 They have 67003 too, though I believe that has some mechanical issues which means it rarely sees service. W&S had similar issues with 67010 which is why it was never named (it was due to be named Charles Darwin, but wasn't operational for long enough to have the plates fitted).

[@kieranmcgettrick9541]

Duke of Edinburgh aka dofe and it's an award council he was not a king

[@ThomasJM]

It actually also has to do with the fact that he married into the family. Also the tile of King is considered to be above that of Queen and since Queen Elizabeth is the ranking Monarch because of the line of succession . The Duke of Edinburgh is officially the Prince Consort to her Majesty the Queen.

[@RBXTrains]

Chiltern don't have 67s any more...

[@gawuffy]

***** Yep, they've finally ditched them for 68s - they've had their nameplates removed too, and the rumours are that at least some of them will go to ATW to strengthen their loco-hauled services. Exciting times!

[@RBXTrains]

Do Arriva need that many class 67s?!? They only use them for 2 services a day! I'm waiting (if ever) for Hornby to make a Chiltern set before getting a class 67 (Guess they might not as the doors are plug doors and I don't know if Hornby have the moulding for that already!)! (Don't fancy doing a re-brand from W&S on an £100+ model!)

[@gawuffy]

***** I doubt Hornby would do a Chiltern set - the doors on their mk3s are different, and W&S substantially altered their first/buffet (which Chiltern now use as their Business Zone) so Hornby can't model that unless they change their tooling - which I can't see happening as there are only five coaches in this style. When Chiltern took W&S stock they only removed the company logo, so you could probably remove those decals to debrand a 67/DVT set. The coaches would be more fiddly though. They did run for a time with Chiltern's extra blue stripes, and kept the slam doors - maybe you could model that period? ;)

[@LouBee046]

+RBXTrains There's two sets for ATW at the moment, one being the 'WAG' set whereas the other is the 'Manchester' set. The 'WAG' set operates twice daily Monday-Friday while the 'Manchester' set operates around five times a day Monday to Friday and several times on Saturdays during summer time. The skips for these duties normally stay on them for around a month before being replaced with another skip, presumably provided by Crewe T.M.D or another DBS depot.

[@RBXTrains]

Gareth On Wikipedia (So don't know how reliable it is) it says "To operate beyond January 2020, Mark 3s need to be fitted with controlled emission tanks and plug automatic doors." So maybe there is a chance for some in a few years time when more TOCs have done it and it becomes financially viable for Hornby to do it ;) Luke Bowman (ThatBowmanatorAgain) I didn't realise ATW had more than one 67 set! I only knew about the premier Holyhead-Cardiff service. Still doesn't explain why they would need more. Do they have first class on the Manchester service?

In your campaign against unnecessary and misused apostrophes, see back of box, 8:06, possessive pronoun: "its".

[@InterCity82]

avlisk I see that a lot.

[@avlisk]

InterCity82 As I am wont to say, the possessive pronoun should you use, the poor apostrophe do not abuse.

[@HungryGuyStories]

There's a British boss in the office where I work (New York City), and he's always chewing the Americans out for poor spelling and grammar mistakes like this. I should show him this video. Unfortunately, he's not a railfan and would probably laugh at me for suggesting it. He'd rather spend all his free time at his local rather than doing something fun like model railroading.

[@andrewcalldridge1644]

Hornby made a mistake ! This is not a CO-CO as mentioned on the instructions folder but it's a BO-BO !!! And Finally, shame on that society for stoling the canadian maple leaf and the logo DB of the german railways.... Sorry, it's really confusing... And..... Come on Hornby, we are in 2015, please stop producing those ugly vintage couplings...... For sure, Bachmann and Heljan are a few steps ahead...
