For Kato's first 009 models, they are incredibly detailed models. They really took their time to make sure they modeled the engines one-to-one with the real life locomotives. While I can't say Kato did the box much justice in terms of looks, I can definitely say the model itself is amazing
That model's details are absolutely INSANE for such a small model. Great review! Also, the layout that you're using reminds me of the Trackmaster Blue Mountain Quarry Set
3:28 Those aren't alternate whistles, They're the grab irons that get slotted into the model, The instructions booklet shows you where to put them, but you can see the holes on the tender and the cylinders at the front,
Thank you so much brother man. 🙏Honestly? I like the idea of having a normal Small England running around haha. I may even give her a female temp face for running but wanna leave her alone for the most part 🤣
A great place to buy the Small Englands including the new green repaints, is Plaza Japan. The conversion from Yen to USD is really good atm and it's about $115 for one loco.
Great little model you got your hands on. I'm honestly amazed at the precision and quality of the model particularly in it's paintwork and decals considering just how small it is. I think the value for money is a bit dubious however since for the the recently released Acura Scale Class 55 has an RRP of just 10 pounds more and yet it is a much larger model that is just as if not more exquisitely detailed and has top notch mechanism to match.
The pricing makes a lot more sense when you consider A) Kato have to fit a working mechanism into that tiny body, B) OO9 scale is relatively new to the Ready-To-Run market and is still a bit niche, and C) A lot of other OO9 locos cost significantly more.
I’d say wait for when it goes on sale or if one with less detail put in if you want to make an Duke model. The best compromise would be to put a face on Princess for now.
I don't think the parts breaking off thing was just because of poor shipping quality, only because when I bought my Prince model, I had a hell of a time before I could actually run it like normal. It looked fine out of the box, and when I went to break it in it ran fine going forward for a full 30 minutes. Then I put it in the reverse, it got halfway around the track, and both side rods popped off! Now, they pop back in easy enough, and I've never had them pop off again. Problem is, when they did Pop off, I could only find one of the connecting pins, this little chunk of plastic not even a millimeter long. It rolled off the table and onto the ground, and despite me searching for four. Freaking. Hours, I never found the blasted thing. It's either still somewhere in my carpet or in the vacuum cleaner at this point. Luckily when I went to Kato's website to buy spare parts, they email me back with an apology letter and didn't charge me for the spares. I can at least appreciate them trying to make amends for their screw up.
I was super lucky yesterday as I was able to ride on the real Ffestiniog railway for the first time. Went all the way to the top of the line to see the old slate mines, the scale of them is immense, it was truly a huge operation back in its day. The train I was on was pulled by a Double Fairlie, a really terrific looking engine. I was going to by a Bachmann double Fairlie in the shop, but the price was well over £300. So I bought a princess loco instead, and I’m glad I did. Such a fantastic model
I agree the Small England is worth its weight in gold for looks and performance. I hope KATO will make more OO-9 scale models! (They were supposed to produce the Double Fairlie as well) From the good reviews of this I'm sure it'll also be well-made.
Bruh, I shit you not, as soon as I saw yesterday’s post about this, i believed myself to be in a simulation. Because 20 minutes prior to first seeing said post, I actually bought Prince.
Fantastic model, released by PECO made by Kato. Great pronunciation of the welsh names. The box is printed with bricks to represent the platform and the white rectangles above are representing a face where the Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland logi/sign is hung on the fence. Great engines to ride and bigger than you think in real life. I only live 1 hour away from the Ffestiniog railway and 1 1/2 hours from snowdon mountain railway and 2 hours from talyllyn. And yes im welsh lol. But great to hear someone not butchering welsh names. Also just an observation, when you talk about gauge 1 and tenmille it's pronounced ten mill not ten mile.
Great video as always, TrainBoy! I'd wish this model wouldn't be turned into Duke, but it would be so cool to see a custom Duke model.. Sad all the detail will be gone, but eh. It's Princes̶s̶ Duke. Who wouldn't want to see him?
It’s Duking Time Edit: If you do end up deciding to make Prince/Princess into a Duke, what will happen to your old Duke custom? Well he become Bertram?
hey train boy this is great and all....... but.. *wheres grape juice James train boy* *i need to see my boy grape James* also are you a sonic fan, or are you just playing some sonic music that you found?

Nice model, great video mate. I'd hope this model wouldn't get turned into Duke as it looks awesome already. 👍🏻

Train boy can you get me a model train
@@lafrancishurts8333 no he won't
200 is a hefty price tag, but seeing all it has, it seems worth it. Really nice princess engine. Great review as always

“Listen Dukey,” he drawled. “In the States, we don’t care a dime if Trainboy uplo-“
“YOU LISTEN HERE YOU LITTLE SHIT-“
🤣🤣 This got a genuine laugh out of me haha!!
Thank you so much :)

Just a suggestion : under your ho scale layout you could have a miniature replica of the tallylyn railway. But other then that! Great model review!
I’d say wait for when it goes on sale or if one with less detail put in if you want to make an Duke model. The best compromise would be to put a face on Princess for now.
Those aren't whistles it's knobs for like hand rails and snadpots and the tender. Like the entrance of the cab.
It’s Duke’s sister

@TrainBoy Maybe she could become a character of her own, maybe Duke's sister. Always trying to keep him in check and making him blush?

God damn, that thing looks beautiful and I’m ordering one today.
Blown away by how narrow a curve it can handle.
If its so good don't tempt to make Duke. Just keep the one you have until the right time to get another princess
Kato did a great job on that model
This model is pure beauty its taken my breath away
That Robotnik boss music remix reminds me of music TeamFourStar have used in their video.
Mainly in outros i think...
"this would definitely suit his grace!"
All of your models are just amazing..
Excellent review! I'm very tempted to purchase one now. Nice to see it left as is.
very nice video! I really enjoyed the music choice! loved the cinematography as well!
can't wait for more 009!
Since you built duke I thin you should build Bertram
I wish that Trainboy would make a LBSCR E1 Thomas
awesome unboxing review video 🚂👍🚃
Awesome model and review. Would love to see your thoughts on the new Bachmann N scale James model. The Daisy in HO as well.
Omg it’s happening
Awesome video! Convinced me! Now my question is what size radius is the layout you had her running on?

Great review, just curious what carraiges you added as they look very cool but Im having issues finding similar.

I find it hilarious that I was actually listening to the Percy remix on SoundCloud right before this was uploaded 😂
If you get the Petersam model, will there be a video about it?
“Now subscribe, you won’t!”
Boi you wanna bet I won’t?
Lemme just-
Great video as always, TrainBoy! I'd wish this model wouldn't be turned into Duke, but it would be so cool to see a custom Duke model.. Sad all the detail will be gone, but eh. It's Princes̶s̶ Duke. Who wouldn't want to see him?
Nice review man! Wish i had the money to get one of these to repaint it into duke instead of chopping an ertl model into 009
When this model was announced, everyone collectively said "Oh yeah, it's duke'n time".
6:27 Robotnik Theme Remix
honeslty, never saw this much detail on a 009 scale model
its a simply wonderful model and im hoping you dont turn it into a duke lol
Time to get one and yeet the shell to make a J&L 58
Time to *Duke* it out!
Into the Dukeverse 😳
Do you think they make 009 scale models of Bertram with theses models too
Princess looks great in that red! If you do fit a face on her in future, I think a Capsule Rosie face would add a lot of pizzazz.
you should make a bertrum if you decide to get another one
Did you know that the new wooden line is able to run on Lionel track
I mean you turned a Dean Goods into a James model, I wouldn't mind if this became Duke, especially with your skills.
Awesome 😎
i love a good old duke modle
Like how you use sonic and mario music in your vids👍
Currently begging for an N-scale/009 collection video
There's a green version coming soon... 😉
*looks at a fence* "We got some track here-"
why would you make this into duke?
you already made a duke 8 months ago
Cut to like a week or two later and someone has sent you one to turn into Duke and/or Bertram
8:48 jokes on you i'm already subscribed
Train boy are you ever going to get Narrow Gauge number one engine from Thomas and Friends forgot the name of him
Watching this video makes me want to model this in Roblox.
Do it. 😤 (In Palpatine voice)
On it! >:D
HEYA GAMERZ
Ur first man
@@WalterAndMatt4084 hell yeah I am my days a good day when train boy uploads
I wonder how Duke will react to see his sister.
When are you gonna make a J50 Thomas.
It’s Duking Time
Edit: If you do end up deciding to make Prince/Princess into a Duke, what will happen to your old Duke custom? Well he become Bertram?
Speaking of duke do you still have that duke model you made a while ago
He's thinking about Duke but what about Bertram?
7:54
That would never suit his grace
Hell yeah!
What happened to your old duke?
Gone, reduced to atoms
you should get a double fairley
@Commodore Cardinal pretty sure
hey train boy this is great and all.......
but..
*wheres grape juice James train boy*
*i need to see my boy grape James*
also are you a sonic fan, or are you just playing some sonic music that you found?
Sad and disappointing quiz: Duke never made it to the CGI Series.
The biggest loss of the CGI series imo 😔
Les go
What is the name of the song at the end
Check desc! It’s on Soundcloud thankfully
Isn't that a fence and not track?

What about bertam
this engen is sonserd by Doctor ivo robotnic/egg man
You turned one of Duke's siblings evil. Why Robotnik?
What are you talking about?
@@Sudriantank743 At the beginning of the performance section he has a slowed down piano version of Sonic 1's, the game from 1991, boss theme.
Impudent scullywags
She is beautiful
Hey, can you do a Capsule Plarail industrial/rural layout? I wonder how that would've looked like.
Ok, so European gauging confuses me. Is this essentially 00n2’3” ?
As in 00 scale & a gauge 2’ 3” in that scale?
For almost $200 I wouldn't want to do any modifications.
"Birring shit that no one reads"
*my bored ass*
Money is higher than get a loaf of *BREAD*
is oo9 and n scale the same thing
Almost. oo9 is ho scale narrow gauge
Same track but 009 is Narrow Gauge scaled to OO while N is just N scale lol (it’s confusing my bad man)
