- To celebrate 'The Great Gathering Event' which was held at York this year on July 3, Hornby have released limited edition models of all 6 of the remaining A4 pacifics. Here at BRM, we take a look at them.
Hornby sure does make fantastic models...
TheFattHatt yes
I agree 😊
I am not a modeler,but I truly enjoyed your posting,I live in france, but come from a railway family from Grantham, my grandfather worked for the LNER, from the thirties throgh to 1953, my aunt ran the canteen on Grantham station from the war through to the fifties, and only last year when Mallard visited Grantham I came over to visit my 85yr old father,he dropped in the conversation, he had worked on the railway for a few years when demobbed in1947, and fired "Sir Nigel and Mallard" between doncaster and Kings Cross!!!!!! after that and your piece and that bombshell I am tempted to start
Wonderful models.
fantastic models and layout. really conveys the 1930s feeling with lNER garter blue and teaks!
Full well at the 100th anniversary they will make a super detailed model
Well presented Tony and a great display of engines. Always look forward to seeing your videos, keep up the good work. After a 30 odd year gap, it was help from your stuff that finally gave me the push back into the hobby.
Wonderful models. I've seen some of the originals at York and Green Bay.
Hello Tim, we anticipate it to be shortly, the second quarter was initially envisaged.
Hello Tom,
You need to purchase all six locomotives, send off the vouchers that come with them, along with a cheque.
great video! lots of history! would love to own them!
Was just reading about the GWR s Lady of Lyon which may have reached 130 mph. This was not a recorded run using a dynometer car as in the case of the Mallard. Charles Collet did not want to upset Mr Churchward and put it as 129ish.
Very Good Informative "Waffle" Thank You
interesting video. as a relatively newcomer to taking model and indeed all heritage railways seriously as opposed to just liking train sets I found this particularly useful and very interesting. Im a GN fan and lner fan too.. thank you
Gannet isn't a name of an A4 locomotive. The locomotive he picked up which he said was Gannet was actually Osprey.
Thanks. I know that now.
love the music thats on this video
The one pulling the Pullman train was R2339 and the one pulling the teaks was the great gathering one
What a well presented video, u ought to be a TV presenter. Such lovely models too. Well done!!
Learn to Spell Kiddo
U is not a Word.
this is awesome, im only a kid, so when im older, i will always have the A4 mallard on my list. nice video, and nice facts. well done!
I'M A KID AND I HAVE THE MALLARD!!!!!
IN YOUR FACE!!!! BOOM
i want the sir nigel gresley. i was at the great gathering nearly all day today and queued for about an hour before opening. worth it!
Fantastic Video I really enjoyed that I just hope I can get all six
I already own Mallard in LNER livery, we recently mended a problem with valve gear and now she runs on 2 cylinders!!! We scrapped the 3rd cylinder and extra set of gear.
I'm not that serious about going out of my way for a model engine. I am a member of The Vintage Trains Society in Birmingham and we recently had Bittern visit us for our open day. we have regular steam runs using standard gauge to places such as York, Liverpool and out regular week-end twin pannier to Stratford during the summer. Anyone fancy joining and keeping mainline steam alive the cost is a very modest £14 per year and entitles you to half price return tickets on the Stratford run. £12.50.instead of the full £25, just mention you heard about it from member 266 Mark
And Thankyou
Interesting, Thank you very much
I have the mallard and it has no problems navigating a 2nd radius turn
One day I like to get the product
Mallard Is my favourite A4, closely followed by Union of South Africa
Not waffle at all thank you for this
Fantastic Video,The 6 A4s look amazing.Will hornby make any more of the 6 locos.I'm going to the Autumn Gathering on October 26th.liked & Subscribed to your channel.
He is the sort of guy who would call the police if you kicked a football into his garden.
you obviously have never met him
Caroline Reeves i keep seeing u sending mean comments to people
Well since this shed is probably in his back garden I wouldn't be happy either if a football came crashing through the window.
@@craigthe You sound as miserable as him!
@@runawayplane6166 lmao nah i get what you mean looking in a mood all of the time. I'm not grumpy lmao
I’ve been in that station.
My favorite A4 is Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Want them!
I might get the Mallard for Christmas
Looking forward to the Great Goodbye Locomotives
Thomas
No just Tom
Mile End Park evening star model
I could tell that one was a darker blue.
Nice video
Dominion of Canada is listed on the Hornby website in LNER. It says on this video at 5:07 that it is BR. The real on is LNER, but is was probably (I'm guessing) still in BR when this video was being made?
Hi, you mentioned that non of your locos run without lamps, where did you get your lamps from as I wish to make my locos a realistic as possible. Thanks
Hold on a Minute! The Mallard I have is Dark Green....
Harry Samuel from the british rail era...
Mallard has had various liveries painted on her in her working life. Some of these have been LNER Garter Blue, BR Green, NE black, and some others.
around the end of the month they hope
my brother has an A4 he got 2nd hand cheeply its numberd 60020 (4465) Guillemot its by hornby but the tender hosts the motor its in the dark green and red strip livery xD i just think its odd how the tender cannot cope with the a4 its self as it wont shove it like its supposed to even though my brother who is mad about the A4 class thinks his is the cheeper then one on line for £130 one in the same shop for £105 as the one he got was £50
Lilly Louise Your brother must have gotten a railroad model.
Superb and impressive video. However, your closing comments regarding not seeing a superior 4mm model appears to conflict with your review some years back of the A4 by Golden Age Models.
All of My A4's go rouind 2nd radius curves.I have 16 of them including Super Detail and Great Gathering Loco's
+Robert Farnell i got the famous of the a4's and it's mallard but sadly i can't run her because i bought her 1 day not knowing the motor was very faulty
I cant see why they call this the great gathering without the sliver link or silver fox in there true colour (silver)or is this coming please reply with info ..Thanks.. Alan
I want to see a great gathering set in G scale
Hello
Oh i thought there multiple mallards but there is just one
Hey, how do you get that free case for the 6 of the models?
really need one and soon!
I live in the USA, where is the Dewight Eisenhower located here? Would love to see it!
It is at Green bay Railroad museum in Wisconsin.It has been cosmetically restored to her British Railways Brunswick Green Livery.You should make a concerted effort to see Dwight D.Eisenhower in all it's glory.
I was going to get one before they were pretty much all reserved, does anyone know if these hornby A4's or the R2339 Mallard go round 17.5inch radius curves (pretty much second radius)?
Will these A4's be able to go around 2nd radius curves?
I want Mallard but The Price :-O
when is the release date for these, Hatton has different dates in November
who else went to the great gathering?
I went
That was the first and last time I saw 60009 Union Of South Africa. I was going to go see her at the North Yorkshire Moors Railway sometime this week because she was the guest locomotive. But, If you go there, you won't see 60009. Because a couple of days before she was due to arrive, She needed some new parts (Valve rings and some other ring) so she would not be able to go.
Thanks to the hard work of the NYMR, they managed to find a last minute replacement...
Enter West Country Class (Spam Can) No.34092 City of Wells!
She will replace 60009's duties and will be operating alongside the Class 101 DMU Daisy and one or two home fleet Steam or Diesel Locomotives.
I went to great seeing all remaining A4s together in one place also went to great good bye
How are the locomotives coupled to the train I see no couplers no Kadee or any other type of knuckle couplers
He has removed the standard couplers (probably as they look awful) and added wire bars to the buffer beam of the tenders. Small sprung brass hooks fitted to the coaches will hook on to the wires. No couplers fitted to the fronts as these locomotives rarely, if not never, ran tender first.
Hope that helps.
What is the release date for these engines?
interesting ..
Who painted his Dwight D. Eisenhower model?
Ian Rathbone.
What music did you guys use in the video?
I'd love to know as well. I'd imagine it's something with a Creative Commons licence, but I have no idea what it's called.
+Chris Bell It's from a website called Audio blocks which is all payware content
Thanks for the response!
No worries :-)
What happened to 'Sir Nigel Gresley'? My cousin and I Had 1 each.
99jfrancis it still runs and works to day but sadly mallard doesn't mallard was with drawn from service in 1963 and was taken to the national railway museum in York in 1963 and she's been there ever since
Tracy Mclaughlin Not quite right as in 1987 Mallard was made runnable for the fiftieth anniversary of it's record run. It then went back to the NRM.
It's Number is 60022
Harry Samuel nope mallards number is 4468
Actually Mallard had both of these numbers plus another. When it was working with the LNER, She had the number 4468. In 1948, her number was changed to 22. Then 60000 was added and she became 60022. This happened when she was working with British Railways
I got mallard but then it broke
you must not have taken very good care of it.
Lol
Probably because you a fool
kadin jacques It‘s a shame Hornby is not producing their engines with the quality standards of Märklin.
@@limeddasch382 so i see Bachmann doesnt exist?
Then I have the Classic 4472
I have Hornby's 4472 as it was during the 1920s it was an A1 then.
It's a railroad model.
(Flying Scotsman)
the flying scotsman is the fastest locomotive
no the mallard beated the Scotsman's record
it did
Jordan Dunbar The Scotsman was the first to break 100 mph, I think.
Cody Kaloz city of Truro was...
Me hearing “and never will” stating that no other steam train will beat it wanting to have an American steam engine beat it and leave Mallard in the dust. Anyone else?
No
The Scotsman is better than the mallard
Jack Ekins nah mallards better as flying Scotsman’s top speed is 100mph we’re the class A4 top speed is 117 mph
They are both as good as each other
He is EXTREMELEY boring...
No he is not.
**the boss has spoken**
I sure have.
William Glover
Not really.
they're not models they're toys
Jonty Marsh 04 fuck you
Really
Do you play with them?
Do you have fun?
We don’t play as such.
they are models
they are toys
