i'm old enough that i might actually have had that set, 1983 i was 8. definitely had a BR hst with some random editions like a car trailer thing. ive n ot had a train set since then but interested in buying a hornby TT120 set.
She sounds like she may need a little grease on her axle gears . Maybe even to have the commutator on the motor polished as well as the metal wheels that pick up power. That should vastly improve operation .
That is such a cool set - especially with it being an old one! Definitely needs some extra carriages but overall it's great, I'm sure the motor will get a bit better the more you use it, if not you can easily buy new motors, not too sure on the prices of them though. Great video bud!
@@Welshtrains2024 yeah, which livery do you prefer, the one you ordered or this one? 🤔 Anything and everything from the 80s is amazing, music, trains, cars and all that good stuff! 😂😉

@@TrainGuy_2008 i love the green midland mineline livery with its green white and orange colours
For its age it looks really well looked after to be fair. A great present man
