Nice idea for a test ! hitch her up to Two other locos, I will have to try that myself 😃😃

Too much chat

Why is the quality of this video so bad? Can’t really see which wires are connected where 😂

Great video mate my wife got me this set for xmas last year i need to get 2 decoders for them as well sound ones

Lovely pack! They’re certainly fetching a proud penny online too.

What an awesome train pack!! I love the bachmann class 37s, but I think the accurascale 37 is better value and maybe slightly better quality? Great video mate :)😊

I just came across this video ... Subscribed!!! 👍

Saved me money too. thats shocking. bad instructions, bad motor, even there intro video for the class is bad, it nearly falls of the track! Accurascale need to do one!

I thought your video was really good, i bought the trainbow version of this and like it, i had a feeling it wouldn't be able to take the extra coaches, If you look back in the history of Hornby Remember the HST set where they put the motor in one of the power cars, well same problem add the extra coaches well its got no chance, Personally i have no idea why hornby brought out extra coaches pack for a train that can't take them, and to be honest for the price they can keep them, Overall after doing my own test nice train but a bit overpriced, Maybe hornby should have a chat with kato and see the N gauge version and that can pull far more,

Ive got the Samaritans one it's excellent and shunts the TMD a treat.

Are you getting the drs 88 when it comes out

Weird I looked on UA-cam yesterday for a review on this exact model and I go on UA-cam this morning and this comes out nice one mate

Hi, very good honest review of a very nice loco, my Hatton’s class 66 had its issues but they are all sorted, it’s works very well and is a smooth runner, the sound from the EM2 speaker is phenomenal in my opinion compared to any thing I’ve heard before, the Legomanbiffo sound file is so good 80% of my locomotives have his sounds fitted, the revised Accurascale class 66 is what the Hatton’s model could have been but was let down buy the manufacturing process that were not addressed and poor quality control, the Accurascale engineered the EM2 speaker out of their model to fit a lesser speaker to keep cost down I suspect, I not in the market for their model and would rather have another Hatton’s model because of the sound, for those modellers who have never owned a Hatton’s model with Legomanbiffo sound and the far superior speaker will miss the amazing sound in my opinion, maybe if Accurascale do a second run with the capacity to fit an EM2 I would buy one until then I will wait for Bachmann to upgrade their old but bulletproof class 66, thanks for sharing.

This video was just what I needed, thanks!

Great video thanks for sharing J

Why do the lights flicker cause some of my models do that aswell

very nicely done a great informative video. I enjoyed my visit to your channel cheers fro now al 👍👍🚂🚂😁😁

All a can say is thank you, least a know what a need to get rather than what my local model shop advised me lol n looks great keep up the great work

The esu speaker is amazing, but the hornby sound has a bad low bit range digital sound.

This review is about the best on youtube, The sound of this 47 takes me back when i was a secondman at Sheffield midland thankyou.

You can pick this one up for £234 at moment.

5/10 for performance? How? It didn't pull its full rake. It should of worked straight out of the box for that price. Another Hornby rip off.

The basic problem with the IET is that the powered car is in the wrong place. Logic says that if its 5/9 cars the powered car goes in the centre coach so that its pulling / pushing the same amount of load. Bachmann with its voyagers / desiro & 3 ar 158/166./170. The lack of traction tyres is another issue. Conteneental HO models cost far more than 00, yet their models come with traction tyres usualy 1 on a wheel of each bogie & it makes for better / smoother running models. But Roco / Marklin have their models made in factories they own on in mainland europe, Hornby are basically a R&D unit, the models are made by 3 rd party companies in China in various factories, Hornby having very little control, the models arrive at the docks, taken to Margate to the warehouse , & then sent out. How heavy are the coaches? Problem with so much of todays new models is that the carrriages / wagons are far to heavy, the cheap die cast metal chassis that the powered cars are made of is cheap grade metal thats not dense enough, then theres the poor quality metal used for the wheels. Theres a reason Chinese metal / steel is cheap. Oiling the wheels is not the answer, the oil drips onto your track , couple that with dust & that causes the build up of dirt on the rails. Then theres the issue of how plastic reacts with the oil & can corrode it over the years. the best thing to look at is if the bogies axle boxes can be fitted with brass top hat bearings , but then you find with the cheap grade metal axles the pin point end starts to wear away because the brass is a harder metal than the steel that the wheels are made of. What you've got there is garden shed engineering, common problem with 00 of nice looking gear that lacks the real attention to detail of how it all works / functions because the specifiers are bedazzled by the fine details / tech the 3rd party vendors can offer. That said take a look at Mehanos hi speed train models of the ICE3 / TGV duplex , cheaper models but far better thought out , the TGV power car has the can motor located in the well between the bogies so it lowers the centre of gravity, drive shafts nyon straight into the bogies & no big clumsy gearboxes , the power weighs next to the nothing yet easily shifts 8 coaches & a light as feather rear dummy power car. It does make you wonder who Hornby employ when designing models & wether they every buy other companies models & see how they do things.

How did you get those gwr sleeper coaches?

Would you kindly send me the hobby shop you deal with that sells Hornby no one is selling it in Canada and I'd like to order Hornby trains. An address and phone number or email would be lovely to have. Thank you

Hornby don't build their models with problems - they pay someone else to build them like that and then take your money.

Having also had the same issue with mine, I emailed Hornby who suggested to lubricant the wheels. Glad to see it has worked on yours, I’ll probably also add the extra weight like you have as well as I feel the rear bogie on the driving car needs a bit more weight over it. I’ll be testing mine in a few days. I feel it’s very poor of Hornby not to have checked this.

Nice pack although I have recently moved over to O Gauge this month and I am moving away from OO and HO gauge as I am fed up with pool quality and the hatred/infighting with some parts of the model railway community. I will get one from Heljan if they do an O gauge model of this when I get Coconut Road built.

Well done for getting it to a state of being useable, but will still give it a miss, we need accurascale or dapol to start making a lot more modern stuff, leave the old steam stuff and class 47's etc to hornby and bachmann, and get on with making good quality stuff that is upto date and reasonably priced too, there is so much to choose from and yet nobody is doing it.

Can I be the first to congratulate you on some successful modelling.

❤

Motor drive sounds like a coffee grinder... over priced, sub par. I'll give it a miss.

Do the axles have pin point bearings?

I'm amazed they didn't lubricate the coaches- most Hornby stuff arrives lathered in lubricant and caked in grease. On another note, the wheels on my Hornby class 800 IET power car got dirty. I made the mistake of taking the bogie frames off to clean them. Turns out, the pickups are fixed to the bogie frame, and these are connected to the wires that take the power to the circuit board. This turned what should have been a 5min job into an hour of swearing and fiddling around. Still- at least the solder on the wires didn't break. That said, I know Hornby gets a lot of stick, but the IET is an amazing model. The only let down is the plastic pantograph.

Good update on your class 802, I’m sure those whom love a Hornby and believe they can do no wrong this is a classic example of where they are, they clearly don’t have a QA department over in China or over here, they do have a tendency of abandoning customers once they get their money, no oil and the wrong oil in models is standard with them, you shouldn’t have to do the investigation especially when you’ve spent to money you did on it in the first place, if Accurascale produced this model then those issues wouldn’t be loaded on the customer because they wouldn’t be there in my opinion, I guess it’s your choice to spend that kind of money on products that aren’t fit for purpose, their products are underdeveloped because they cut too many corners so their profit margins are maintained, modellers will totally lose faith in Hornby if they don’t wake up and stop doing things like this, thanks for sharing.

Glad it was an easy fix! A Hornby immersion experience. I’ve been working on the railroad 😂🎉

I had the Azuma set, and I had to send it back, as it was derailing all the time, watching your video the coach drag could of been what was wrong with it

There are two types of bogies on the 9 car. Is there any difference in the drag between the different types?

Looks nice ! Hopefully it doesn’t burn the motor out pulling all that lot .. thanks for update and review 👍 glad its now working

Simple fix that you shouldn’t have to do cheers Al

Just got an email announcing this set, but when I saw the pictures and the price I thought: you must be f…ing kidding me!!! The details look like from a toy train, and no decoder or sound for this kind of money is a joke. And the loco not being able to pull the full consist? Wow, I don’t know who engineers this crap, but they probably found their diploma in a Cracker Jack box. After my last experience with Hornby products (total junk), I will not send another penny to them. Can’t wait to watch Sam’s review… 1:10

Fantastic livery but that pricepoint is filling me with agony

SEND IT BACK MATE

The sound should really be fitted to the intermediate power cars that's where the engines are and where the sound comes from.

This could have been a nice 20 min vid. Some editing software needed for your next birthday?

Lubricating the axels made a massive difference on mine. It hauls the full rake but sometimes struggles to pull away. Ill be interested to see yours after you add weight to the power car aswell

All in all…. Not too bad.

May be worth trying a back-to-back wheel gauge, which checks the spacing between drivung wheels. It allows you to push them together to make sure they are running true

I love your videos 😊

That is disgraceful, hope Hornby offer a refund. If not, loading the power car with lead weights should make a big difference.
