@@sullivanrachael you tell me?

@sullivanrachael Hornby do know of the issue and are looking at using a carbon brushed motor in their J50 later this year. It is possible they were mis informed by the motor supplier over the longevity of these motors.

@@timallen_uk thanks Tim, most of those new wagons want a touch of paint, a couple I may keep the names on.

@HighFell that is what I am hoping for Matt..

@kjbmodels89 hope so. The A4 runs really well as soon as I changed it to analogue, thank you.

@gregmacdonald927 thanks Greg.

@@HighFell thanks Matt

@jxxgames I think you mean Heljan? It was not really due to Hornby it was Heljans own childish attitude using Hornby as an excuse. If they had been serious about it theirs would have been out 8 months ago last year. They used it to just knock Hornby.

Heljan not Accurascale, and they never actually spent more than 15 mins on dropping TT:120 couplings onto a OO 3D image and put it out to get reaction. Heljan were lazy.

@onkelmichl3300 thank you (Danke)

@gregmacdonald927 thanks Greg, I needed the match truck to keep the rear buffer beam intact otherwise it may have looked silly cut away. One day I would like to fit pick ups to the match trucks too.

@@onkelmichl3300 hopefully not too long before it is running with the body on. The body is nearly finished just requiring the wash stripes and numbers now.

@PeachyTT120 thanks Chris. I hate talking but Nevaeh won't do it as she has a plate in and sounds different. There was a little more to it than just remove and replace though. Hopefully next time it will be easier and quicker.

@@garryhall5552 personally I find you chipping in takes the video up a notch, keep it up I say 👍

? This is TT 120 which is only 2-rail. In Dublo (and TT 120) Silver King only had a single chimney. This is a double and was William Whitelaw from the Easterner set.

@HighFell thanks Matt. Hopefully as you say, I will get an extended life from the motor. I will certainly be looking at trying to reduce the brush pressure next time. Look forward to seeing your video later to see how you manage with the swap and possibly have an easier assembly method than mine.

@class_31clag It is possible Hornby were misled by the motor manufacturer as they said they should at least last 100 hours. They are aware of the issue which is why they are looking at a motor with brushes to fit in the J50

Hi Garry. Have you upgraded your camera? The video quality seems really good here. Well done on the swap

@gregmacdonald927 hi Greg, I did get a new phone recently but the last 6 or 7 videos were with it too. This is the first video I have actually joined different clips together but that was through software downloaded. It was certainly not the easiest job swapping the motor e d cap over as this one was slightly thicker and needed some plastic removing to fit into the chassis. I certainly will not be in a rush to do others but just wait until they die on me.

@onkelmichl3300 yes, just a pity the Peco couplings are not as flexible as the Hornby ones.

@onkelmichl3300 thank you, a lot of my locos are made using 3d printed bodies on Hornby chassis's or use Halling motor bogies.

@edhiggins4346 the unrebuilt loco with tender, and, the tender for the rebuilt loco are 3D prints from Shapeways. The rebuilt loco body is a heavily modified Corgi Britannia. I do also have a Q1 and USA dock tank which are Shapeways 3D prints. My Lord Nelson is a 3D print but from Lincoln-Locos.

@T4Van-E-daycamp not that I know of. At one one time SR bodies of various classes were available from Shapeways but since they ceased a couple of months ago no idea where you can get any.

@HighFell thanks Matt. That is it for now a warmer climate is calling.

@user-lp9cr6lw6h at least you have seen it done now

@jxxgames do you mean they "asked" what we would like? I pesonally don't think the W1 and P2's would be big sellers yet but we all like to think what "we" like would be good. I would swap those for a B1 and Black 5. Hornby already have it in their pans for a 57xx and J94. I already have thoughts of an N2 from a J50 chassis as the wheelbase is correct, but the wheels are too small.

@@garryhall5552 Black Fives would actually be genius. Also I agree with you with the LNER W1s since their OO gauge ones were pretty flimsy with the win deflectors being very fragile and breaking easily. The P2s will definitely be a nice edition for a new for wheel configurations and could possibly make for great customs. But I would possibly also swap the P2s with a 9F since they’re really nice models and their OO models have sold nicely with their amazing details

@@jxxgames the P2's to be a little more popular might have to be the rebuilt unstreamlined version.

@@AllensTrains what do you mean "more money than sense"?

The whole point of TT:120 is it’s not manufacturer invention, it’s a true scale unlike any RTR scale in UK; N, OO or O are all incorrect. 1:120 is the correct TT scale as used across rest of the world. Garry has created an impressive range through traditional modelling skills, most of these don’t exist as RTR models.

@@HighFell thanks Matt.

@@garryhall5552 This is a caveat that applies to any collector of model trains, including myself!

@AllensTrains right, it is just some people have used it in a different and impolite way towards me.

@timallen_uk the two brakes coupled together (same number) are beautiful runners like most of the blood and custard ones. The other 4 (brake has different number) have a very, very slight scrape but nothing like the LMS. It is so little they run very free and it is not noticeable on the main layout. I am not even going to bother touching these.

My brake 3rd in BR Maroon runs a treat but my 50’ full brakes in early & late run well too. I like the roof detail on these as well as the variety over the MK1’s. These make great local service trains on High Fell 😁

@HighFell I actually like these better than the Mk1s and as you say the roof detail is excellent. I just want Hornby to do Stanier Kitchen and Dining cars now but a good guess says that will be a long long time off.

@@darrenfawkner2018 thank you.

@lukeslocos6610 If I cannot find any spare fuel tanks then there are two people who do 3d prints of them. The Halling bogies for the 40 should be here this week so might start it but going on holiday at the end of the week so it could be a while yet.

@MoonlitLab I have no idea which loco the chassis came from it has been in my possession since I dabbled in N in the 90's. What are you looking at using it for?

@@garryhall5552 I bought a small tank engine kit from Sparkshot - where you got your Baltic tank. Ideally I'm looking for something about the size of a J94 or a terrier.

@MoonlitLab for something like that, this would probably suit it being a short wheelbase.

@@garryhall5552 Awesome! Do you know which class of locomotive the chassis you used comes from?

@MoonlitLab no sorry, it is from when I did some N gauge in the 90's and cannot remember. It could possibly have been just a chassis bought as I used to scratch build bodies to fit Farish chassis''s, similar I suppose to now with 3D bodies on Hornby chassis's.

@MikeTT120 thanks for the comment Mike. Regarding the track, all original track, which is the lower level, is Peco H0m and was modified for Triang TT loco use. The modern Hornby still run very well on it so where possible (future portable layout) I will continue to use it. The upper level, when I get around to it, is mainly Hornby 120 as I needed the set curves as too tight to do properly with flexible. However, the station area and pointwork will be Peco H0m still.

@@garryhall5552I think the wider spacing of the sleepers with HOm really suits TT:120. Not sure if it’s more or less realistic compared to Peco/Hornby TT track though?

@MikeTT120 scale/accuracy has never bothered me and, in my own view the Hornby/Peco sleepers looks too close together. Plus, it is easier to ballast lol.

@HighFell thanks Matt, just hope it is not too long before the nameplates are made for this and the Scot. Doug at Silver Tay said he has been very busy with the names already done, which is a good thing really.

@@user-cn4rg2bs4p they do look good Caroline but are too modern for me so wont be looking at any myself.

@@East_Mallingford_Railway 50 sets of 150 wagons all sold out in 4 hours. They are looking at something again but no idea if new names or different ones.

Thanks Matt, when I was asked at one of the shows Hornby were at what loco would I like to see I did say "any, I don't mind but what would be nice is the 00 2-6-0 you have just released, or, standard 4 tank". Don't think my one view will make it happen though.

@@garryhall5552 I think the standard class locos would be a great place to extend the steam range. BR late steam is popular and standard classes were everywhere. A nice 4MT would be perfect for almost any layout

@@HighFell they certainly would. Just seen today that Lincoln Locos do the 2-6-0 3mt and I would love one. Alas at the moment no suitable chassis and doubt the J50 will fit. I want 77012 as it was a York engine and a photo I took of her won me a competition in the college photography class.

Thanks. The blue is Precision steam loco blue. I would have preferred to use a car spray like my A3 but it was impossible to mask everything so it is brush painted.

Thank you, it is a lovely 3d print too. Just washed and painted it, no sanding etc required.

Thank you.

Yes both loco bodies are. From Lincoln-Locos.

Sorry Matt, I know you are wanting a 9F for High Fell so could not resist.

Certainly unusual in any model scale and I am hoping to do it in Furness colours, similar to LMS.

Thanks, just bought another 6 to do.

Thanks, just bought another 6 to do.

Thanks Matt, just bought another 6 to do and 11 should be enough for now until the unfitted ones appear.

Thanks, hopefully better when the chassis and wheels are black and cylinders raised. For Evening Star I need a double chimney of something. I had thought with a single chimney I might do black but the paintwork is too nice t paint over.
