Wow, you are a talented modeller, a flickering firebox would look the part in this revitalised model, great work Hornby could have performed in the factory, thanks for sharing.
Great video matey - on mine i swapped the buffers for metal and scalpolled off the hooks, used a pin drill n fitted screw link hooks from the spares. Really made the difference. Cheers Shaun
The trick wilth the pin oiler is the speed at which you lift the pin out of the oil. Lift slowly and the oil runs off the pin as it comes out of the liquid. Lift the pin out quickly, and the oil doesn't have time to run pff, so you get a big drop ready for use.
And one quick question. I've always understood you should NEVER apply DC power to a "chipped* locomotive - but you cheerfully applied 9V from a PP3 after you'd connected the chip - was I mistaken?
I’ve always liked that model - had one when I was a kid and will have another, so thanks for the vid!

Fascinating. Truly impressed by the detail painting of the backhead. Would love to have watched how you did this, even if it ran for 2 hours!

Those hornby 060 with the compensated chassis can be excellent runners indeed as the springing keeps the wheels on the track at all times.
A nice candidate for a HM7000 with sound and a stay alive 👍👍
Another nice little job, thank you.
Great video Dan. Nice locos the j52 . I have one myself I may have to fit a decoder. Keep up the good work Dan 👏
Wonderful work. Thank you.
Great video Dan!! Thank you for sharing! Cheers Onno.
Great video
I like that model. I think yours is particularly nice. You should that it to a crew to completely finish it.
