Class. You should definitely keep doing videos, and definitely keep up the commentaries. I am both subscribed and addicted to Liberty Junction.

Thanks Duncan 🤝

Love the honesty (what else would one expect from a Yorkshireman!), this layout looks like you have been at this for years!

Thanks for watching Ian, appreciate the comment too 👍

Much appreciated! 👍👍👍

Dave I’m enjoying your early videos I really do hope I end up with a layout half is good as yours love your channel Cheers Chris 👍

[@doubleodave]

Cheers Chris 👍 nice compliment 🙂

[@chriss2761]

@ no worries Dave really like your layout and the attention to detail you have done I can’t wait to start building a layout 👍

Layout looks amazing mate..👍

Cheers pal 👍

[@charlescrompton2009]

Wow well done Dave super slow running video. Great modelling skills. Yes the 08 is a wonderful loco. Looking forward to seeing more videos. Best wishes Richard

[@doubleodave]

Cheers Richard and thanks for the comment - as a beginner I really appreciate that👍

[@jeffreydady5213]

Really nice video and a great little layout, Love how smoothly your locos move at low speed

[@doubleodave]

Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching 👍

[@johnwyldbore73]

Just stumbled across your channel and you have gained one more subscriber!! This is the content I enjoy, have my own loft layout approximately 5m by 3m. Still in the development stage, track-work all done but no scenics as of yet. Going to watch your other videos to see the locos you have. Keep up the good work. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@doubleodave]

Thanks John, that size will make a brilliant layout wish I had a few extra metres 👍

[@johnwyldbore73]

@@doubleodave What size is your layout? You seem to have decent variety of locos and rolling stock from what I’ve seen so far. You should do a ‘meet the fleet’ video so we can see what you have at your disposal. 😀👍🏻

Just found your channel. Great video and great layout 👌 Subscribed 👍🏻

[@doubleodave]

Welcome aboard and thanks for taking the time to comment, really appreciate it

[@iangregory3994]

Really nice Modern Outline illustration. Imagine most everyone shares the agonising issue of acquisitions. I cure mine by giving in! So get that 56. Better still,get both. Coincidentally I am getting the two you suggest. ( From Rails of Sheffield. At the time of writing they are down to DCC Ready models. Fitted all sold! However no warranty issues and Legomanbiffo +Loksound combo hard to better.) Top work all round.( Commentary included!)

[@doubleodave]

Really appreciate the comment and advice, for info ultimate model railways had one or two sound fitted left this morning 👍 I’m saying no more 😁😁😁

[@breintonjunction791]

Hi Dave, just subscribed agree with you on the hunts couplings material being crap but if you use a bit of pva glue 👍 a bit of water to remove them cheers Al

[@doubleodave]

Didn’t think about PVA I did superglue a couple but they snapped off after the glue ruining the nem pocket 😫

[@danielbonham9336]

Just subscribed your layout looks great, I know what😊 you mean it's only recently I have done the preordered , the new locos as most of mine are second hand of ebay over many years and they are as good as new and the old locos are as good as the new ones, apart from the sound and some extra details they run just as good, keep up the good work 👏

[@doubleodave]

Thanks for the sub! Yeah my 37 red stripe was used off eBay, you hear the odd horror story about bad deals so I always make sure to read the full description then you’re covered, but couldn’t be happier with what I’ve purchased on there so far, nearly all my rolling stock has come from eBay 👍

[@DYLINGTONMODELRAILWAY]

[@colwichjunction3366]

Nice vid there Dave… Interesting that you’ve highlighted the fact that hunt couplings are as brittle as ****! Removing them usually ends up with them breaking & black tac is the answer to keep them going, I thought it was just me 😂 Really enjoyed your video. Cheers John b😎

[@doubleodave]

Cheers John 👍 at least it’s keeping the black tac fold in business 😆

[@dinmorejunctionmodelrailway]

I want a Class 56 too. One of the Yellow and Blue sector liveries. As for subscribers you are doing well. We all enjoy watching that figure climb

[@michaelclaydon1200]

Hi Dave, I'm newish back to the hobby. Also gone mad buying locos. I like my Bachmann 24,37 and 47's. Nice layout. Would appreciate a running session showing the kadea couplings working. As i hate the standard ones. Mine is an end to end layout. Station and TMD. Not sure what to get. Some KZbinrs recomend/ dont criticise so eventually they get free products if they get popular ! Cheers Mike.

[@doubleodave]

Cheers Mike, I’ll look to get a video done showing them in action soon 👍

[@michaelclaydon1200]

Thanks Mike

Hi Dave 👍 just come across your channel and you have an awesome looking layout. Just subscribed 👍 Andy

Thanks and welcome

[@chris_3636]

Great video 👍. I pre-ordered my Cavalax 56s from Rails, nearly 3 years ago (2021), and you pay a £30 deposit on each, balance paid on delivery. It's frustrating that with Accurascale, if you don't commit to buying when the model is announced, you miss out on it. Ordering them through Rails and Hattons (enough said about the loss of that store) you did have the opportunity to cry off if your situation changes.

[@doubleodave]

Cheers for the info, I’d still have no fingernails left waiting that long 😁

[@markjackson8789]

I've had a few hunt elite couplings break contacted west hill they sent out a replacement pack but did have to remind them to send it, it seems like its a fault with certain couplings.

[@doubleodave]

With a different print material they would be superb

[@danielbonham9336]

With the hunt couplings I use them for my coaching stock but use kadees for between locos and rolling stock and bogie tankers, there are some issues with them but in a hole I've had little trouble with them

[@doubleodave]

To be fair the magnets are amazing, there’s been a comment about using a little PVA to hold them in this may be the answer, I fully agree that when installed and held in place they are decent and as you say kadees at the sections you wish to uncouple is 👌 thanks for watching 👍

[@stephenlong5065]

I'm considering changing to kd couplings , what number or type do you use ?

[@doubleodave]

Mostly 19 but the Bachmann coaches would probably better suit 20s as they’re a bit set further back 👍

[@Andrew-mb8xp]

Good Video, look great, seems you have aquired a few more subs in the last 2 days..

[@doubleodave]

Tell me about it! I can’t believe it

[@RobertCant-mo2nk]

People pre-ordered the Cavalex 56 two years ago, then when they come into stock the retailer contacts you and you pay for it and it arrives as soon as they post or courier it out to you. No one pays at the time of pre-order, same as any other manufacturer.

[@doubleodave]

I wasn't knocking this concept just saying not for me i'm too impatient and would have no fingernails left! i'll wait until they're released and pick one up if there's any leftover. I managed to secure a Cavalex 56 this way. For info I did preorder £200+ of wagons from Accurascale last year and paid the full balance at the time and they're still not released yet. I ended up cancelling the preorder getting a refund and buying some in stock Bachmann ones. All the best, Dave

[@WayneAtkinson89]

I’ve got 4 56s and they are the dogs danglies!!

[@doubleodave]

👍 they do look decent

[@Ross-FNL]

Eh up Dave, another crack’n video lad. What digital controller do you use and how does that interface with your iPad?

[@doubleodave]

I use a z21 mate, basically the iPad has all the locos and their controls on screen, you just swipe between locos and adjust speed, direction and have all the function buttons in front of you. also has all the digital point control too. I showed the point control on one of the episodes - “why you need a z21” 👍 good old holiday binge watcher

[@Ross-FNL]

@@doubleodave Rgr that, I’ll have a look into the Z21, I currently use a nce power cab which is good but tbh I just got sick off looking at all of the options and reading watching reviews… I’ll have a look at your Z21 video. Cheers bud!

OO Railway PIVOTING SQUARE MAGNETIC COUPLINGS 23mm Nem to Nem pockets, 5 Pairs off eBay do pretty well with my EWS hopper wagons n even work well dragging my bachmann class 66 colas non runner as a double header with ma hattons class 66 one freightliner which I’d so recommend trying to get ahold of as it looks great dragging a rake of container wagons n also the OO Railway PIVOTING SQUARE MAGNETIC COUPLINGS 23mm Nem to Nem pockets, 5 Pairs work well with the container wagons too well recommended, if you ever do invest in container wagons then best ones going are the Kia/kta Dapol pocket wagons or the Dapol few-b spine wagon twin pack freightliner, avoid the real track models freightliner fla wagons twin pack as they’re so light n wobbly not the mention the wheels are so tiny the derail a lot n a mean a lot soooo annoying
