had that meccanno yellow geared motor one xmas when i was young and over joyed with . these are things that just light you up and condition means everything too me like yourself .keep it up
Watching you go through the contents of the box reminded me of turning the glossy pages of the TriangHornby catalogue with wonder as a boy. My own std class 7s are of the tender drive variety, as are my 9Fs, although I do have both a Triang class 31 & 37.
Nice collection. N stands for Noise. So NS is Chuff Chuff and Smoke. Really interesting to see these old items. Let's see the Britannia puffing smoke on the Super 4 layout . 👍 Stay Safe. Mon
Thanks for helping out with the meaning of that N. I shall look for my old catalogues to find this model when I get a spare minute. All the best to you
Fantastic collection in the box....the Oliver Cromwell loco is a great find.... Love the Triang Hornby stuff... Nice to see how you repaired the Bo - Bo....🙂👍🇳🇿
Well, Mr Snooze I enjoyed that video very much thankyou. Nice to see the repairs youve done to the Bo Bo. And then a box full of goodies that could have been from my childhood, which for me consisted of Meccano construction kits and Hornby Trains along with Matchbox and Dinky cars. The Only thing missing was a nice old Scalextric car and an Airfix spitfire. 😂 Id love to see that Brittania with some Pullmans please. It was Lovely to see some clock content too. Ive missed seeing clock of the week. All the best Ted.
It sounds like we enjoyed similar items back in the day. It's nice of you to mention Clock of the Week, I'll try and show one if I'm indoors. Take care, all the best to you
It has been a little chilly here too Mr. Snooze, windchills down to -37c. but my layout room has maintained +23c. As is usual with you, you have made a great repair on the Wrenn class 20 side frames. The box looks to be a dream come true with all the wonderful items contained within. I have a few Husky models, they were a wonderful collection. Mine have chrome plated plastic underframes with built in springs. I cannot think of anything better than Pullman coaches for the Britannia to pull, I hope you will agree with me. Regards, David.
That -37C sounds too cold for me David, This weather is a good time to do jobs in the warm. I envy your 23C layout room. Take care, all the best to you
Brilliant video, nice fix on the side peices, lovely selection of old triang locomotives and carriages, the husky car manufacturer was taken over and became part of the corgi range named corgi junior's, the pullmun coaches would look nice behind the britania.
Thanks for looking, I did enjoy going through these items. I'm glad you liked watching, I'm looking forward to running some of these engines. Take care, all the best to you
That is a wonderful box of goodies. I think the Britannia should go with a good rake of blood and custard coaches when run. Nice to see the Meccano pieces as well, that was another of my favourite childhood toys I’ve got the 70s blue and yellow up to set 8. I’d still like to get the full No 10 set but they go for a pretty penny these days, I do have a red slimmer version of the last motor you showed & a couple of modern sets, the Chinese made quality of which isn’t a patch on the English made originals. The Wrenn bo-bo restoration is coming along nicely, like that you left in the minor mishaps. All the best, cheers Rob.
Thanks Bob, I remember that 1970's Meccano, I always liked the excellent dark blue boxes. Unplanned things happen sometimes when filming, I quite like showing things that go astray sometimes. Thanks for looking, all the best to you
Mr Snooze. 30 minutes of Triang Hornby inspiration... My choice would be to recreate the final 1968 BR mainline steam operation with Oliver Cromwell hauling a mix of maroon /blue-grey Mk1 coaches.
I re-named/re-numbered Tennyson to Oliver Cormwell to do just that! Now I live in Wast Anglia, OC is a bit of a celebrity loco, as after it completed its 15 Guinea Special duties, it was stabled at Diss station for a while, and then ended up at Bressingham Steam Museum for years. After finally being returned to mainline condition, it was the first loco to use the re-commissioned level crossing that re-connected the North Norfolk Railway to the Network Rail line at Sheringham.
Note that Meccano went to the trouble of fitting the Pullmans with Gresley bogies rather than BR standard bogies. Attention to detail for the time is amazing.
Thanks for this information, I will admit that I hadn't noticed this. I admire the effort they put into these models. I love to see the Meccano prototype drawings in Michael Fosters book. Take care, all the best to you
Maybe you could either put 70000 back to stock with her original nameplates (thoughtfuly preserved by her original owner), or complete the Job by fitting the cabside transfers and smokebox numberplate? You’re right, it must be one of the very last examples before tender drive, of which I have a very early example. It has an identical chasssis to this one, with flangeless centre drivers and including locomotive pickups and a cut out in the paxolin plate where the drive gear …er… isn’t ! The tender drive is the original Fleischmann copy (I believe the Germans got a bit stroppy about Triang Hornby copying their design of motor!) Clearly in both our models the Margate Factory was using a common parts bin as production of the locodrive models was phased out and the new order came in. My model as far as I remember has its production date on the instructions from July 1971… Looking forward to seeing this hauling a mixed train of blue /grey and maroon MK1’s. However, the one I’m really looking forward to seeing is Winston Churchill, I’ve always wanted one (with smoke of course!). 34051 with a rake of SR green MK1’s and an SR utility van coupled directly behind the tender would be brilliant to see. All the best Rob PS my 70000 may be a factory « one off » it was given to me a couple of years ago after the passing of a distant cousin. As the southern « Branch » of the Forrest cousins and family all hail from the Margate / Ramsgate area, there have been lots of friends who worked at Rovex over the years so Christmas presents were often sourced from the factory. I imagine they had some sort of staff discount scheme back in the day.
If your 7P is tender drive and from 1971 it could be a nice prototype. That's a lovely thing to have with some great local history. I will definitely run a mixed train behind it at some point. Thanks for watching, all the best to you
Snooze, Your videos are never too long. Perhaps it might be a good idea to plate the handrails on the EE Type 1, and if inspection suggests a model is mint and has not run, as do the wheels on the 'Oliver Cromwell', refrain from running them??? Just a suggestion. Also, as the 'Brit' name plates are still there, it might be possible to reinstate. Also, today I saw the new 'Rapio' N scale model of the Co-Bo. See if you can find one to look at. It is everything the HD one was arguably not, though we must remember what is now sixty years. Just don't bring your wallet. Specially note the glazing and how it sets the whole effect. Thanks and best wishes. Pete
Hello Pete, The Co-Bo is a strange Hornby Dublo beast but I'm quite fond of them actually, they have a sort of charm of their own. I'll see if I can take a look at the one you mention. Thanks for watching, all the best to you
Danke mein neuer Freund für das interessante Video. Ja, viel alte und gute Firmen gibt es nicht mehr. Viele Grüße aus Deutschland von Wolfgang
Hello to you Wolfgang, thank you for watching this video. I hope you find time to watch other videos on the channel. Best regards to you
had that meccanno yellow geared motor one xmas when i was young and over joyed with . these are things that just light you up and condition means everything too me like yourself .keep it up
It's great to hear you enjoyed seeing these items, thanks for watching, all the best to you
I put silica gel packets in with my locos when in storage. Another great trip down memory lane, thank you
This is something I'm going to have to start doing myself. A great idea, thanks for watching, all the best to you
An amazing box , the britannia always looks great pulling a long rake of blood and custard coaches
That sounds a good idea, I'll be running the loco soon. Best regards to you
Watching you go through the contents of the box reminded me of turning the glossy pages of the TriangHornby catalogue with wonder as a boy.
My own std class 7s are of the tender drive variety, as are my 9Fs, although I do have both a Triang class 31 & 37.
I did run a tender drive Oliver Cromwell ages ago on the channel. They are smooth runners. Take care and all the best to you
Husky models !...That brings back memories.Had some in the mid 60s.
Thanks for watching, best regards to you
Cool stuff be nice to see them running 👍
Thanks, I'm looking forward to getting them up and running. All the best to you
Nice collection.
N stands for Noise.
So NS is Chuff Chuff and Smoke.
Really interesting to see these old items.
Let's see the Britannia puffing smoke on the Super 4 layout . 👍
Stay Safe.
Mon

That’s a great video Mr Snooze, and what a great find. My vote is for the Triang Winston Churchill and a rake of Pullman’s. Kind Regards Adrian
That sounds a great idea for the Battle Of Britain loco, I'll try to make this train up soon. Thanks for looking, all the best to you
Fantastic collection in the box....the Oliver Cromwell loco is a great find....
Love the Triang Hornby stuff...
Nice to see how you repaired the
Bo - Bo....🙂👍🇳🇿
I'm pleased you liked seeing this stuff, Take care, all the best to you
Lovely stash, those locos bring back fond memories of my childhood, look forward to watching them running around your layout..
I'm glad you liked seeing these. I'm looking forward to getting them back to life. All the best to you
Well, Mr Snooze I enjoyed that video very much thankyou.

Great collection of items Mr snooze, be great to see blood and custard MK1s
I have a rake of these still on the layout, I'll run them soon. All the best to you
Fabulous collection, look forward to seeing them running on your Super 4 track..
Thanks for looking, I shall definitely be getting these up and running. Best regards to you

Great video, and btw, baking powder works the same as the granules with super glue, just apply glue to the part first and then sprinkle on the powder.
I think that sounds like something I should test out. Thanks for mentioning it. Best regards to you
@@MrSnooze No problem, Ive used it to rebuild parts of Matchbox and Dinky toys, hard as the original metal, take care my friend
A good stash the pullmans and the meccano my husband dave got one of them motor he recently found it
Thanks for watching again, it's good to hear your husband has some Meccano. All the best to you
Clear-story... As in a level or storey of a building that is glazed or 'clear' to let in light. Most cathedrals etc have a clerestory.
Thanks for watching and mentioning this. Take care, all the best to you
Not at all. I remember this from Architecture/ A Level art many years ago.... Your videos are a great pleasure...
I cut my teeth on these, run them as is, excellent stuff.
Apart from the Rocket set these are all going to have a turn on the layout. Best regards to you
NS = Noise and Smoke.
Thanks for this, I found some old Catalogues to show in the next video. Take care, all the best to you

Husky manufactured by Mettoy 1964-70.
I remember a Mettoy factory in St James, Northampton back in the day.
