Sam your a very lucky Guy great Video yet again Keep it up my friend!

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks very much mate - really glad you liked it! :D All the best, Sam :)

[@marcod1600]

WOW! Very nice couple of class 66.

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks a lot Marco! :D

[@timbervalleyproductions]

Ive got a couple of these now - pre owned from Hattons, one in DB red the other in freightliner green (sound fitted), and theyre truly fantastic, and stand up well today for the price.

[@spicygoose4775]

Maritime is probably my favorite too! The blue looks beautiful on it! Amazing video Sam! :)

[@SamsTrains]

Good choice mate! Yeah I really like that blue!! :D Thanks for watching,Sam :)

[@ryanworthvalley]

Wow what cool models and some great new shots well done and keep up the good work

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks a lot Ryan, appreciate it mate - glad you enjoyed it! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@robmasterman]

Two very impressive models Sam, and a very comprehensive review from you. At my age, whilst a tremendous amount of detail is applied to models these days, it's impossible to appreciate it all when running on a layout, no matter how good your eyesight is...Regards....Bob

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks a lot Bob - that is true actually, a lot of the intricate detail goes wasted while they're running - but it's nice to see when they're stopped... if you're close enough of course, hehe! (My eyesight is terrible unless I'm very close too! ;D) Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@Onthemainline]

Well time to start my Christmas list even though it's only February, I'm now looking at these and I really like the look of the weathered Freightliner Green "Poppy"..... Great video, stay safe and take care :)

[@SamsTrains]

haha it's never too early! They are good locos!! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@NurseNoodles67]

Haven’t been able to watch your videos as of late and I’m catching up on all of them now. Congrats on 23.1k Subs! Keep up the amazing work! :D

[@SamsTrains]

That's okay mate, welcome back anhow! :D Much appreciated mate - it's so lovely to know that people are still subscribing!! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@PhilPage227]

Fabulous locos, I would love the Freightliner. Great video Sam.

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks a lot Philip, yeah the frelightliner one is awesome! :D Thanks for watching,Sam :)

[@freddyfazbearsgamingymas6722]

Amazing Unboxing Sam! I love it! :3

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks very much Freddy!!! :D

[@7APT7]

Both great models, great review, nice to see a Rails of Sheffield Review as I’ve never bought from them before but I must admit they both look stunning models! Thumbs up by me!

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks very much Jamie - yeah they are great models! Rails have brilliant prices too - they're well worth a look! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@vlogthatrain3152]

Ooh just what I need after my first exam! Can't wait to see this :)

[@SamsTrains]

Fantastic mate - congrats on getting through your first exam - how was it?? ;D Thanks for watching,Sam :)

[@tomjenssen7486]

Super review, Sam. So good to see Rails specials...and they really are special, too. I'm not sure which one I prefer....I like them both :))

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks a lot Tom - I really enjoyed looking at these for a change! Glad you liked it mate, Cheers, Sam :)

[@Johndctrains]

Great video dude Been watching the channel for awhile now some great content :)

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks very much John, that's very kind of you! :D Cheers, Sam :)

[@brianfearn4246]

Excellent review Sam, ive got several bachmann 66s dating back to around 2008 and still run superbly, the blue maritime version appears to be the lower emissions version with the extra middle door. 😊

[@7APT7]

I just noticed it the newer low emissions class 66 noticeable by the extra access door on the one side of the body and it’s silver exhaust on the rood. Great reviews on both!

[@SamsTrains]

Ooh that's very cool - thanks for pointing that out to me! Cheers again, Sam :)

[@Trainline5000]

Got a model of 66727 a little while ago off Ebay. Was a respray of a freightliner model. Only found out about these the night after my one arrived! But still, the one I got came with nameplates and sound fitted for much less that they're asking for there. Great video anyway, they are superb looking models for sure!

[@SamsTrains]

Ooh cool - still sounds good mate! Did they do a good job on the respray then?? Glad you enjoyed seeing them mate! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@Trainline5000]

Thanks for replying Sam! They did a great job, the paint application, custom name plate and all the other bits and bobs were certainly of a high quality. As a bonus, the sounds included were from none other than legomanbiffo! It also runs great with some of my intermodal and engineering wagons. Still tempted to get the freightliner model that is shown here, or at least another bachmann variation as its the only main 66 livery I haven't got a model of yet! I am a recent subscriber of yours and have so far really enjoyed your content. Really informative and professionally put together, and also really had a laugh with your April Fools videos haha! Thanks again for replying and I'm sure that I will enjoy your videos throughout the future :) -Trainline5000

[@sgkingly8392]

In Lincolnshire, we see these class 66s all the time. I remember seeing them in Lincoln as a child!

[@SamsTrains]

Ooh nice, I've seen a fair few in my time too! :D Cheers, Sam :)

[@victorywoo]

Looks real smooth man, real smooth!

[@SamsTrains]

Yeah definitely! They're super smooth runners! :D Cheers, Sam :)

[@tomphillips805]

WOW! Those two class 66s are really nice. My personal favourites are diesels and I am definitely very jealous of those trains! Keep up the good videos Sam.

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks very much Tom - really glad you like these, they're certainly decent models! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@themidlandcompoundarchive9430]

Very nice locos, had a nice look at them the last time I was up at rails.

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks a lot mate! Ooh very cool - did they have them out on display? :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@themidlandcompoundarchive9430]

Yeah on one of there display shelves.

[@irishsixtysixfanGbrf66739]

Bachmann grills on top are open for the reason the speaker sits underneath so when it's fired up the sound is free to hear where as the Hornby class 66 the sound rattle around the body

[@SamsTrains]

Ahh I see - that makes sense! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@jackclarke1220]

The 66s really grown on me recently, saw the BR Blue one GBRF has at their Peterborough yard this morning, as well as the morning EWS frieght train Spalding way.

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks Jack - me too - a good livery can really make them shine! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@henners247]

The pinkish line across the top of the loco is standard across all modern rolling stock, and I think it's purpose is to remind anyone climbing above the line that overhead wires may be present :) Great video as usual Sam!

[@SamsTrains]

Ahh very nice! That makes a lot of sense - thanks for the info on those! Cheers, Sam :)

[@oceanstorm9410]

I kinda like the Maritime one more cause blue is my favorite color. These are really fantastic diesels. I wish Bachmann here in the US can make diesels that amazing. Even if I only have one diesel in my collection, they're still not that bad. I'm a huge steam fan too. Awesome vid Sam! :D

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks Ocean - that's good to hear, I really liked the Maritime one too! Thanks for the comment mate, Sam :)

[@jamesthurston1212]

Cool nice vid Sam as always! Also love steam but also love these!

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks a lot James! Me too - but I enjoy a good diesel once in a while! Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@TWA1945]

These locos look smashing!

[@SamsTrains]

Thank you! They're brilliant looking models! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@marrymccreadie5094]

That looks cool great vid Sam

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks a lot Marry - glad you liked these! :D Cheers, Sam :)

[@NorbertRoll]

Great review of the beautiful diesels produced exclusive for RoS. And the best... they are not too expensive.

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks very much Norbert! Yes they are superb, glad you liked them! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@Owencr905]

Interesting to see some different age engines. I do like the class 66 to be honest. Well, I feel like I say that that for every loco you review, haha. Good video as usual, good work :)

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks a lot mate - glad you liked these for a change! haha I end up saying tha too, lol ;D Thanks for watching,Sam :)

[@rogo23]

I live right next to York goods yard, see these hundreds of times a day, very nice

[@SamsTrains]

Ooh nice - how do the models compare to the real thing then?? :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@rogo23]

Sam'sTrains certainly a lot cleaner lol

[@henkherta1vanzitteren50]

Hello Sam I am now watching a movie of the Class 66/77 from 2,5 years ago, We also drive this locomotive in Europe from Belgium to Germany and the Netherlands with Auto trains, Of 70 cars ,With 12 cars on it that are for your Country and Ireland, They are very strong locomotives of more than 4500 Hp, We drive almost every week with these machines, Greetings from Henk Belgium

hahaha! ;D

[@sgkingly8392]

I just got a Bachmann 66 (66779 "Evening Star") exclusive to Locomotion models and limited edition for my birthday today. It is very impressive with a gloss finish and it comes with etched nameplates including etched shed codes and builders plate! It has turned brass bells as well! I would be more than happy to email you some photos of it!

[@SamsTrains]

That's great to hear mate, bet it looks super in the gloss - enjoy it!! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@terrycharleslewis7565]

Hiya Sam thanks for the review process, great! Don't know if you knew but Maritime is a large road haulage company, specialising in Container deliveries. Regards Terry.

[@SamsTrains]

No problem Terry, glad you liked it! Thanks a lot for the info on Maritime! Cheers, Sam :)

[@ianhaynes5898]

Now those are impressive. The Maritime one in particular interests me as I have used the company in real life. I did not know they did rail transport but I know they do container transport by road in England.

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks Ian! Oh that's pretty cool - it'd be worth getting that for sure!! :D Thanks for watching,Sam :)

[@nigelcarter9503]

Nice of Rails to do that. They both look great.

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks Nigel, yeah they really are superb models! :D Thanks for watching,Sam :)

[@DuanLeadingham]

Yesss so glad u got more diesel reviews yess plus great vid 👌👍

[@SamsTrains]

That's good to hear mate - glad you enjoyed it!! :D Thanks for watching,Sam :)

[@aaron_m_04]

One thing I don’t like about model trains: you buy one and it takes all your money! Anyway I haven’t been able to watch your videos in a while and I’ve missed them so much! An amazing video, as always. -Aaron

[@SamsTrains]

haha yeah that's very true - I don't like that part either :( Glad you enjoyed the video anyway Aaron, nice to have you back! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@phil69881]

Love it! Sheds galore! Hahaha Btw...the "pinky coloured stripe" is orange and it's called the CANT Rail (as seen on most modern rolling stock) to indicate that you can't/shouldn't go above the level of said line...particularly when running under 25Kv AC catenary wires... :/ My favourite it 66727, as I used to see her go by on Tilcon trains when I lived near Bradford (literally overlooking Saltaire station). I used to go passed the Freightliner depot in Leeds too, but GBRf have the better looking locos (with many livery variations). Keep on modelling Mr Sam! 👍

[@SamsTrains]

haha yes indeed - a model railway shed in fact! ;D Very interesting about the can't rail - I'll have to remember that! Thanks a lot for the comment mate, glad you liked that one! Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@ronbrazy]

Hey Sam! I got my first model train set from Bachmann!! Thomas with Annie and Clarabel :D

[@SamsTrains]

That's absolutely awesome mate! Really hope you enjoy it! :D Thanks for watching,Sam :)

[@gwyneddboom2579]

I love that Freightliner, but the Maritime is growing on me:-). I hope there’s plenty more good stuff coming.

[@SamsTrains]

Ahh that's good to hear - yeah they're both great liveries!! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@NixTrains]

Now those are nice. Who knows Rails of Sheffield might come up with their own models some day! With that whispering school boy going everywhere! ;-)

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks Nix! It's worth noting that Rails commissioned Bachmann to produce these - they don't do their own manufacturing as Hatton's do - at least not with this model! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@thedarkknight1015]

They both look awesome mate

[@SamsTrains]

Thank you! :D

[@kingorry7223]

Woah!!! Those 66s look so good. Also, is the theme diesels, with the odd oneS out being the virgin voyager, because it's a DEMU, and the class 87, because it's electric. KOOTPGB

[@SamsTrains]

Well spotted mate, that's absolutely right! Glad you enjoyed the Class 66! :D All the best, Sam :)

[@nickforbes-warren6602]

Odd ones out - large logo 87 electric and the Voyager DMU! Nice vid, and the Maritime 66 looks great on monoblock tankers. Nice livery, a change from the Freightliner one I see every day on the real things!

[@SamsTrains]

Well spotted Nick - that's dead right! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@liamslayout2726]

I like the livery and colour of maritime one but the design of the nameplate on poppy are so nice

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks a lot Liam - yeah I agree, the Poppy name plates are gorgeous! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@warriorstar2517]

Good evening, Sam. These class 66s are quite something. I am going to try and get my local hobby shop to import a class 28, or Metrovick, from Hatton's. They're my favorite diesel class hands down, while the 66s are a close second.

[@SamsTrains]

Hi mate, thanks a lot for the comment - ooh that would be great, good luck with it mate! :D Thanks for watching,Sam :)

[@robkleinherenbrink5690]

When I went to Berlin I saw an Freigthliner class 66 In Amsterdam( the European class 66s are a bit different in the lightclusters compared to the British ones)

[@SamsTrains]

Oh very awesome - it's amazing how these have spread around the world! :D Thanks for watching,Sam :)

[@JustinFrazier_360]

That's brilliant

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks Justin! :D

[@jacoballsop7969]

Might get one in either ews, gbrf or freightliner

[@SamsTrains]

Awesome! Hope you enjoy yours Jacob! :D Cheers, Sam :)

[@TheTrainspotterFromTauranga]

10:02 That line looks orange to me. It's apparently called the 'Cant-rail'. It's a marker that prevents people from getting too close to the overhead wires. Of course, it doesn't matter if the engine is on a non-electrified track.

[@SamsTrains]

Yeah you're right! A few other people have said that - it's pretty cool! :D Thanks for watching,Sam :)

[@TomMaddox888]

Superb video.

[@SamsTrains]

Thank you Tom! :D

[@arman2f218]

In one of your request videos, could you double head them and make them pull a ton of coaches at speed? Excellent review

[@SamsTrains]

That's a very good idea! I could certainly give that a go one day! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@TheSharkKing45]

Technically the Class 66 is the UK equipment of the SD70Mac or other current "SD" series locomotives, as they are both produced by EMD. One for the UK market, the other for the American market.

[@SamsTrains]

Ah yes I've heard about that I think! It's incredible how far they've been spread! Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@TravelJackJourneys158]

Hi Sam I have got 3 Bachmann Class 158s all in the Arriva Trains Wales there are fantastic

[@SamsTrains]

Oh wow three of them?! I bet they look awesome together! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@TravelJackJourneys158]

Sam'sTrains I got 2 of them repsray for me in to the New Arriva Trains Wales Livery there have all got different numbers as well

[@senangleeson673]

Love you and your trainz I am just wondering Sam if you would recommend the coronation scot by Hornsby for beginners as I like the look of it but it looks quite hard to run C

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks very much mate! I do recommend the Coronation Scot, but not for beginners - those are very detailed and expensive models - you'd be much better to start with a cheaper 0-4-0 and 0-6-0 to help you get used to running and caring for them first! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@senangleeson673]

o I'm just after ordering one but I'm sure I can get use to it or just put it on display as it is so stunning (thanks for the advice X)

[@johncarvil498]

Hi Sam, two lovely locos..........John

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks very much John - really glad you liked them! :D Thanks for watching,Sam :)

[@matthewpalmer2049]

Fantastic l really want one for myself l, but I'm more tempted by the freightliner 66

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks a lot Matthew - ooh yes the Frelightliner livery is gorgeous! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@connorshorten6306]

I might get one of these

[@SamsTrains]

Sounds good Connor, hope you enjoy! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@alancarpenter2070]

Hi Sam. I do like the class 66s especially in Freightliner Green followed by ES&S Maroon. Your running of a 66 hauling the older tank wagons is not so off as I have a video of diesel and electric locos, mainly 66s, hauling the old 4 wheeled MGR coal hoppers, also the Freightliner 66 with EW&S box wagons is not unheard of. I have seen 66s hauling 19-23 fully laden 104 ton "Thrall" coal hoppers and even more container wagons. The last 66 to be delivered to the U. K. is called, wait for it, "Evening Star" and is painted in Brunswick Green. I have a radio controlled, no 1 gauge, 66, in GB railfreight which is magnificent and REALLY heavy. It also has sound and smoke. Until next time, regards, Alan.

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks a lot Alan - that's really good to hear - I tried to pick something reasonable feasible! I'd love to to and get Evening Star - that would be a great one to have! Oh wow that sounds superb - I bet that set you back a bit! Thanks for watching,Sam :)

[@alancarpenter2070]

Hi Sam. Hatton's have the class 66 "Evening Star" in stock. It would go well with 92220 Evening Star. My No 1 gauge class 66 was made by Aristo Craft and are only available "used" now. I also managed to obtain 4 twin packs of intermodal container wagons to go with it. Regards, Alan

[@_chp_]

Best 66 I’ve ever seen

[@SamsTrains]

Thank you! Glad you liked them! :D Cheers, Sam :)

[@GWRailFan]

oh my they are fab, I didn't change from 00 to n, the funny thing is watching a review on matt slades they added passengers but forgot the driver haha, I don't think a freightliner class 66 has ever pulled mega boxes, the voyager was the odd one out as it was a passenger train, and the BR electric is another odd one out as its a electric haha, , the yeoman 59 is all so odd as its the only 59 there haha

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks mate - yeah they really are incredible! haha probably not - but I have worse things I could have run with them xD Well spotted mate! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@joshmason6177]

There are a few odd ones out. The loco in BR livery (Not sure of the class sorry) is the only one without a modern livery, it is also the only electric loco (I think it’s electric) and the Voyager is the only DMU.

[@SamsTrains]

Very well spotted - yes you're right!! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@dinowhizz444]

On the railway, I feel like you should get a large station maybe near the section of track near where you show the slow speed performance. I think this is a good idea but you don't have to do it. And great video as always! :-)

[@SamsTrains]

Yeah that would be great actually! The only trouble is access - it'd need to be right next to the controller, which would mean making a lot of changes! I also like having the controllers at the front where I can access them easily, but I can't have scenery there since it's where I need to walk! :/ Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@michaelfoerster6916]

wow there beutiful locos they have good lighting cheers, Michael Foerster P.S when is your live stream?

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks a lot Michael - yeah the lighting was awesome! At the moment, I plan to do another on the 20th! :D Thanks for watching,Sam :)

[@toadsonice]

Nice! I prefer the maritime one too!

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks Toad! Yeah the Maritime livery is gorgeous :D Cheers mate, Sam :)

[@yorkshireman6650]

Nice class 66 sam grate video

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks very much mate - glad you liked that! :D Cheers, Sam :)

[@MayoHosko]

Is the odd one out the diesel next to the virgin HST because it's the only locomotive to have the British railways logo. The virgin HST could be another odd one out for being the only passenger specific diesel. Anyway Sam what beautiful and detailed class 66's. Bachmann and rails of Sheffield produced a real winner with this one

[@SamsTrains]

Hey Mayo! I think there was an electric hidden on there too! But well spotted with yours - I'll let you have that! Really glad you liked them mate, Thanks for watching,Sam :)

[@mirageinthedesert5448]

0:22 you should fill those ews long wagons with real stones or coal Edit- ews mega boxes

[@NirateGoel]

I'd reckon a Murphy Model 071 would be slightly more detailed though probably more fragile due to the handrails than these for a similar price, with similar performance as well.

[@SamsTrains]

Ahh very cool - I'll look into that! The forthcoming Hatton's ones look very promising too! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@MrBnsftrain]

7:25 I noticed under the freightliner name, it says "A Genesee & Wyoming Company!" G&W own many shortlines in the United States, and I'm surprised no freightliner engine is in G&W orange and yellow as of now! I was expecting both engines to have printed versions of the nameplates on the side, like the Hornby A4! I had no idea the class 66 was first called the class 61! 10:04 every British locomotive and passenger car has this orange stripe to show where the danger of the overhead wires start! Those tankers you use look good with any locomotive, but i would like you to get some container flatcars for your growing fleet of modern (1995 onwards) protoype locomotives! 18:23 I'm glad you're running the cranes again! the first two look great with the Lima class 66!

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks for the comment mate - ahh that's very cool! Yes it's strange that they didn't do that - but some people have suggested in the comments that it's better that way, since you can choose where to place the etched ones. Thanks again for the info - yes I should get some flatcars actually, good idea! :D Thanks for watching,Sam :)

Hey Sam have you pulled passenger coaches with the class 66? If not can you pull some blue BR coaches with the maritime one class 66 and maybe some southern railway or LMS coaches with a freightliner 66?

[@SamsTrains]

I think I have done in the past yeah - nice idea Jared! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@patrickwebb7311]

I spotted the odds one out, 19:54. Also, Poppy's number is 66614....you know that that means, take away the 14, flip the numbers, you get 999. 9's dividable by 3. 3 as in the 3 points of a triangle. Poppy's green, green like a US Dollar bill with a triangle on the back!! Illuminati confirmed!! XD In all seriousness, good video Sam, really enjoyed this.

[@SamsTrains]

Well spotted Patrick, that's right! haha that's very cool - how did you figure that out? xD Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@clipbait4410]

I bought second hand coaches with plastic wheel and they not running clean how to fix

[@DENPTrains]

Love the 66s, but also hate them for replacing the classic diesels! Have you seen the Class 66 in the BR large logo? Interesting livery.

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks mate! Yeah I know a lot of people that feel the same way! I don't think I have seen that, I'll have to look it up! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@jamestalbot4900]

Good review Sam, I’ve had a Bachmann 66 for a while and am yet to defeat it with a load. Do these have the day/night light switch under the fuel tanks still? Price wise, models have been creeping up for a while, I don’t see much changing, though the Hattons model is set to challenge that! So are we calling the Voyager or the 87 the odd one out here? I didn’t know there’d been an 87 in Large Logo blue by the way, I like it.

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks a lot James - I agree, their pulling power is absolutely immense! Yes they still have the switch! Absolutely - I still thing £169 is a bit steep for an old model - the Hattons project really will be interesting! Well spotted - yes it was the 87, glad you liked her! ;D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@miscellaneous.7127]

Great video, I'm guessing the Voyager and the Class 87 are the odd ones out?

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks a lot mate - yes the 87, well spotted!! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@nickelplatenerd6989]

Your Lima Freightliner sounds like it has an engine inside it!

[@SamsTrains]

haha I know!! ;D

[@nickelplatenerd6989]

Like another one of your models I told you about. It was a steam locomotive. The motor made the sound of a three cylinder chuff, because the model was a three cylindered locomotive.

[@michaelwhite8031]

I prefer the classic diesel engines but the detail on these is great. Love the blue/purple colour of the maritime.

[@SamsTrains]

Yeah I think I do too - though these do look great! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

Very impressed by your video! I was in sheffield last summer and regret failing to find any rail shop. But is it worth to buy ESU class 66 or this one, and how did you buy virgin train? is it possible buy any British model train abroad?

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks very much - ahh it's a shame you missed Rails of Sheffield - they have loads to offer! It may be possible to order them abroad, but the shipping charge is usually pretty high! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

I think I might have mentioned this before, but the Class 66 is HUGE for a British Diesel (But I think I said that for different class.) Did British Railways MU their Diesels a lot? Stateside that was and is a REALLY common practice to the point where almost no train had less than two diesels.

Thanks Alex! Yeah I probably mentioned that on my Lima review! Yeah I think they do as far as I know - it's fairly common to see a couple of them together, but probably not as many as in the US! Thanks for watching,Sam :)

[@TheRealEasyA]

Sam'sTrains Yeah. There is footage of Southern Pacific trains going up and down the Tehachapi loop with well around 15 diesels per train.

Wonderful Sam :-):-):-):-):-):-)

[@SamsTrains]

Thank you! :D

[@ILikeTransport]

Are you going to do a throwing a yo box out of the window video like previously mentioned?

[@SamsTrains]

Yeah I did it! It happened over last week's videos! :D Cheers, Sam :)

I agree with lazer you're awesome

[@SamsTrains]

You're very kind mate, I really appreciate that :3 Thanks for watching, Sam :)

Great looking trains Sam, 1 question though. Can long diesel trains like this go around Hornby's tighest curves without any problems?

[@SamsTrains]

Hi mate! Usually Bachmann models won't handle 1st radius curves (but I haven't tested this, so I can't make any firm claims) They should be fine on second radius or greater though! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@williamsoutar8929]

It was virgin voyager and Class 86.

[@SamsTrains]

Well spotted Will, yes it was the 86! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@SamsTrains]
