I just love the BR Blue Livery, the early BR crest and the blood & custard coaches and I think that you have got yourself a real nice BARGAIN there for £100 quid. Regards from Ron.
Got this set last year was my dream set love it hornby should still be making these sets so much better than the rubbish they produce now train set wise
Thank you. There certainly is something about this set that makes you want to purchase it. I think maybe train sets need to be reinvigorated in design and content to get them back to this standard. Cheers
i do like those lms pacifics in br blue i got one myself a few months ago for an absolute bargain because the previous owner didnt know what it was it was put up for 40 euro (wich is 34 pounds) and its runs and looks like brand new and i guess its from around 2010 so great value for money there
I bought this set while at Uni, had a lot of fun with it, especially since it was the first loco drive Duchess I acquired. You got a real bargain there
Thank you. Definitely a bargain and still looking good after all these years. I’m certainly seeing in the comments how this set is bringing back memories for viewers. Cheers 👍
Hi ben I hope you and your family are well? I remember will (ic82) reviewing it. It was a stunning set then and it a stunning set now Them coaches are something else Thank you for sharing your models with us Keep safe ARP
Hi mate. The set still stands today I think. It might not be all bells and whistles but definitely presents value for money. I did see some of the coaches at the weekend but they were priced a bit steep so left them. Cheers mate
Flush Glaze do vac formed replacement flush glazing for these coaches (p/n SE-46 available from Peter's Spares). Cheap as chips, easy to fit and they make a massive difference to these coaches. Beautiful loco, particularly with the upgrade and weathering you've got planned.Good bargain.
Just had a look and they are out of stock. Had a word with them and they’ve had them on back order for ages so unsure if they’ll come back into stock anytime soon. Cheers
@@AidansRailways There's a few available on a well known auction site - I think 1 pack does 1.5 coaches. There's also a video on my channel of me upgrading these coaches. Doesn't take much work to really make them look good - they're worth the effort.
This looks like quite a bargain. I just picked up my first BR Blue steam engine a few weeks ago, that being the Bachmann Peppercorn A1 'Curlew'. I never realized how brilliant the livery is until I had it in my hands. Now I want as many BR engines as I can find, so I will have to keep an eye out for this set.
That is a really good set for £100, I’ve just paid £115 for a Princess Coronation locomotive alone which I thought was a good price as it is the latest version of the model. They usually go for a lot more even 2nd hand.
Hi Robin. Although this one is not the latest version it certainly doesn’t disappoint. Just goes to show there are still bargains to be found out there. We still need to pick up a streamlined Coronation in LMS blue. Hopefully we can get one at a good price. We did see some of the coaches for this set at the weekend but the prices were a bit steep. Cheers 👍
why were train sets so much better back then? I wish Hornby would go back to that type of train set. £100 is an absoloute bargin! The mordern hornby princess coronation is £250+ so I think that set offers excellent value for money. I can also back you up on saying that DToS is an excellent model shop, the guy is great to talk to and the have a very good stock, I can thourghly recomend it.
Howdee there m8 ,, yes a cracker of a train considering that over here in oz they are want anything upto $180 (ausd) and that to me is crap as i may as well buy brand new. Good video there m8. Cheers from John in Australia
@@AidansRailways sorry m8 i made a bit of a typo there as we dont get much sets over here any cheaper than $180 ausd ,, dont know how i did that but anyhoo all good ,, id still want to get 1 of these sets they look gr8. Cheers from John in Australia
Hi , 👋🏼 . Not sure this answer will help but I work on the premise that an item is only worth what someone is willing to pay. Alternatively look on eBay and refine your results to sold and completed items within the last six months and get yourself an average from that although that Is not totally accurate as many sold items have not really sold and often find themselves relisted 👍🏼

Thank You Ron. The BR blue has a unique appeal to it. This is one of my favourite sets.
Lovely aidan, really like this period of hornby train sets 👍
Hi Ciaran. Definitely something about these sets. I’ve been after this one for a while and it’s not disappointed. Cheers 👍
Hi Aidan, what a cracking train set. All the best. Carl.
Thanks Carl. Another set off the list 👍

Definitely. This will be the third loco we have in this livery. like you I really like this livery and I’ll definitely be looking for more. Cheers 👍
Great video here Aidan it’s a great looking set this one, would defiantly been a very good locomotive to get as your first when this was on sale.
Hi David. Definitely would have been. With a few modifications we’ll have this looking even better. Cheers

Hi Robert. I agree looking back, the sets seem so much better then. I think including accessories also helped. Cheers 👍

Hi John. It's a lovely set. Sometimes a cracking good deal can come along and I have waited a long time for this one. Cheers

Always wanted this but missed out.
I was the same when they were new. Glad this one came up when it did. Cheers
I like those coaches. But I very very much prefer the Crimson coaches
Do you prefer the crimson LMS or BR
Hi there Aidan, what is the value of a this train set as i own the exact same 1 and want to sell it,
