Thank you,its running well,one of the pickup retaining plastic nodules came off but a dab of superglue sorted that😊.It dates from 1968 .

I have this set, and it is a great set, much more fun than most of the sets of the last three decades, IMHO.

I've got a few three rail sets and I think they are superb to play with, This set looks to have everything the 3 rail stuff has and more. You don't need to program CVs for simulating inertia, as these locos have it for real!

These sets are superb fun. First radius and you can run this sort of train. I post lo-fi vods of my sets on my channel. I have several 3 rail sets and they are so much fun. The sound they make is really good as well.

Great job.... Fitting a plug between the two small locos is a really good idea? We often "Double head"two of these together, for better adhesion and running through points, but actually wiring them together is much smoother, as neither motor falters at all.. Brilliant move !! The load that they are able to haul is really quite amazing. They seem to be capable of running at a slower speed than would be possible, if they were just simply coupled together too? A very enjoyable video. Thank you..

Another successful experiment rom the workshops of Mr. Snooze. The running of both trains did have an hypnotic effect, very relaxing. Hope you are well. Regards, David.

Nice to see our old school boy physics in application. Very inspiring Mr Snooze. Thank you for sharing this.

,ve just bought an r758 and am looking forward to working on it as its been stored for years like so many it deserves a 2nd life.

After seeing this model perform for the first time you must remember if it is a new one,it will need to be run in,to perform properly,in full working order,they will pull 3 coaches,check out the videos on this channel

Snooze. Any chance of detailing for us the line boring operation? I"m reaching in desperation for the said Golden Retriever, except I don't have one any more. Best Wishes: Pete

Wise words Mr Snooze and so true. I often put things aside and come back another day with a fresh perspective and it works every time. Beautiful loco and so well made. Interesting to see how they work. 😊

Dear Johnathan. A fascinating video away from your usual Super 4... As a clock restorer, what would be your recommendation for lubricating : gears / axles / spring. In the past I have used fully synthetic 5W motor oil.

I just got the train set out of the garage, it is a Hornby Train Goods Set Number 50, the locomotive is a Black tender loco number 60199, there are 2 wagons and a brake van, the brake van has opening doors. In the train box was a small white envelope with "Hornby Ralway Lamps" written on it, in it are 2 lamp, they are very small, about 5 to 6 mm as a cube, there is a slot in the bottom to fit on the bracket on the engine, one lamp has a silver lamp and the other has a red lamp. I could send a photograph if youtube allows it.

You're right, I'll have another bash tomorrow.

I seem to remember that I had some small lamps that went on the brackets on the front of the locomotive. I am planning to get my O gauge train out this week end, I hope that some of the lamps might still be in the box.

Fun Fun Fun that's very true, I've learned that if you can't fix it and you get frustrated leaving it for a while come back to it and heay presto it slots into place I've always believed in that phyosify, anyway I've got quite a lot of those clockwork trains around my model so I'll have to get down and have some fun time, thanks for sharing the video, John

Lovely.... I actually have one of these in Black. God bless you.

I had a clockwork train given to me for my 5th or 6th birthday. I must confess, I had it apart with in the month sorry to say it never ran again and my farther was none to pleased . My older brother still reminds me of the deed , its bin nearly 70 years now and the guilt is still there thanks for sharing and reminding me of my 0 gauge train. I promise not to touch your train.😳ha ha ha

Great to see. An excellent blend for you given your clock and model railway skills! I have a Triang clockwork set that I've never tried, might do that soon.

Great little and informative video regarding these old clockwork engines, enjoyed watching you repair that mechanism

That was an interesting look into what turned out to be a simple little fix, thanks for sharing. All the best Rob

Lovely interesting video and an insight into these old clockwork engines

You're right about stepping away from problem sets. I've got a workshop full of them! Still, maybe someday! It's important to keep these older locos in working order, after all, these paved the way for today's model railways. Cheers, Jim L

Great little video and sound advice. All the best, bob

Good philosophy. I was thinking of resting the wife for a bit 😆

Nice to see. Simple is best. Happy mending 😊

Lovely old movement. :o) I have a vague recollection that early locos had the brake tab (like yours) and the track piece was a single tab that could be swivelled up from flat to the 'stop' position - but - I'm sure we had other locos which had a second fwd/reverse tab and a newer track piece had two tabs that could be flipped up, depending what you wanted the loco to do. Perhaps someone else will have more information. It would be nice to see the lamps as well if they were ever produced. Thanks for sharing! Mike

I found one in a local antique shop. All the original boxes withtheir contents. It has been there for at least two years, and the seller has just lowered the price from US $795.00 to $495.00. If you see this new comment, where might one find those metal fuel tanks?

I would happily settle for 1973 quality today if I only had to pay 1973 prices.

I’ve tried double heading 0-4-0’s but if Found a difficulty matching rpm and Ended up using a dummy with no Motor - were these 2 compatible or did you have to change worm or drive gear?

Snooze. Hmm: There is still something a little unsatisfying about needing two locos for the performance of one. The girls around here have a bumper sticker: 'When all else fails _Hug your teddy!' It is a bit like that. Except that with us it would be our said Golden Retrievers. Now where DID I put those Peppermints! Yours Troublesomely: Pete

I didn't know that you had returned? Welcome back into our homes.. I'll have to remember that Oscar has competition again?

What a lovely running session great to see the two 040s coupled together also lovely to see the class 20 running thanks Patrick Quinn IRL

The out of Sync. Conn. rods draw the eye😁👏👏👍👍

Excellent. What a great idea and wonderful to see the little 0-4-0 locos proudly chuffing along together. I have two blue variants and you have given me ideas. 😊👍

I remember them taking quite a few revolutions before they "warmed up" to optimum performance accompanied by that savoury smell.

Great looking train, Mr Snooze. Is the chrome dome a separate attachment of a modified body moulding?

Lovely!

Great to see those two little engines working so well together.

Great video thanks for sharing, I've got a pair of Caledonian pugs pulling 3 long Caledonian coaches & my class 20 I use my converter wagon to couple up my other Triang wagons J

Very cool running session. Those little Industrial Tank Engines really are fun to run. Thanks for sharing.

just a thank you for sharing nice to see them running so well

What an excellent idea. Some older Triang locos already have couplings connected to one side of the chassis, resulting in spark displays if they're the wrong way round.

Great stuff very enjoyable, just purchased a wrenn version of the Cardiff castle..

Haa haa like it 😂😂

Relaxing nostalgic video Mr S. I had one of the 0-4-0 (forget which one) but I used to send it from the top of our stairs, but you know what? Thats right indestructible! I was bad like that, crushing my Corgi Dinky in dads vice, setting fire to Scalextric whilst moving. Now my diecasts are all very treasured. Only have the Triang Blue Pullman now . Nice presentation, subscribed

A great video as usual

Found my Connie after a while and now totally serviced and runs well

Those 0-4-0 locos were always a migraine. In all of my millions of years I have only ever see one run properly; don't know how it handled turnouts. I have been told it helps to elongate the non-geared axle bearings downward to induce a bit of slack for track undulation. But how protect the load bearing surfaces during the milling; after-all, one needs to insert the cutter before cutting. I suppose we have to grudgingly admit DKK Stay-alive would help. What would not help is to instal a capacitor in a DC model as it would attenuate what little pulse we get afforded by full wave rectified (I'm very proud of that sentence structure and vocab; marvellous!). Marklin retained their stud contact for good reason (then they messed up their 0-4-0's with rubber tyres! Amazing) One reaches for one's Golden Retriever at times like this. The other interest areas are not afraid to have bits and pieces manufactured; be interesting if the various Tri~ang collectors clubs contracted for single start worms. A single start worm would probably benefit a loco like this. Always remember to thoroughly test and monitor, specially for heat. The Matchbox cars are interesting. All but the silliest Tri~ang trains carry the suggestion of prototype well; but for me, Matchbox smash the illusion. Don't know why? Perhaps it's just me. Stay well.

Hi Mr Snooze, nice to see you back again. Re the fix on your side plates, for what it is worth, I have managed to repair similar plastic sockets by reinforcing the plastic with fuse wire, twisting it around once or twice and them twisting the ends together with fine needle nosed pliers after having previously glued the broken surfaces as well.. Best regards, Jim in WA.
