Gorgeous train Richard, so jealous lol. Would be bit big for my OO layout. Lovely to see it running on all the varying layouts and especially yours.
Thanks pal, hope your keeping well!
Good to see you back Richard! Keep the updates and running sessions coming mate
Thanks Josh!
Lovely looking models. The train looked really nice going around the layouts! Enjoyable video. All the best, Clint
thanks Clint!
Normally I come back to this video because of how realistic it looks in the station, great job and and stay safe for the future👍
Good to see you back at New Junction again Richard and a lovely coach set you’ve got yourself too. Looked great rolling past the Premier Inn! 😝 Paul
That super quality hand made premiere inn? ;-)
Lovely coaches, good detail for such a plain livery.
Excellent! It has been an age since your last one! It’s great your back on! 😊
Thanks, I'm over on the Hornby magazine channel more recently lol
Great video and I wish everyone well and my thought goes to everyone through this tough time we can only have hope ☺️ love the model
Thanks!
Richard, you're reviews are great as usual. Never mind punctuality of videos, I'm always happy to get a notification 🔔 from you. The Azuma set is looking great on your layout. 👍 GWR
Thanks a lot!
Great to see you back on new junction, great video,
Thanks Daniel!
I wish there have a n gauge version of the class 800 on the market. The quality of Hornby OO guage product is solid as always.
That is a great model that is now complete thanks to the coach pack being available. I am planning to get one in June for my 40th.
Don't wait, there's only 500 available
An absolutely wonderful presentation. Excellent.
thanks Norbert!
Lovely model. Good to see hornby's quality getting better and better. Looked good running on yours and the two exhibition layouts
The other layouts more so! 😅
The professional is back, yet again, another stunning video. It’s been too long Richard but we’ll worth the wait. 👌🏻
Wont be as long now John!
Thanks for sharing Richard...
Your very welcome!
Impressive coaches like the details and stickers 👍🏻👍🏻😄
can't beat a good sticker
Nice to see the test train finally a complete set!
yes it looks great!
Great to see you back at New Junction - lovely (but expensive) coaches....
Cheers John B
worth saving for, thanks John
Looks really nice the new train carriages
Thanks Dan!
New Junction where did you find it as I can’t find it anywhere in Stockport p/Manchester
I saw this running on another UA-cam didn’t realise it was yours but WOW I am going to add this if I find it to my Collection
Good luck with the hunt, theres only 500 made.
Guess what Richard none available Grrrrr
The 800s are an awesome piece of kit, both real and model. Time will tell if they serve as well as the HSTs. Look forward to more videos while you're self isolating. Keep safe and well buddy, regards Bobby 'T'.
Thanks Bobby!
Your very lucky to have that! Very nice video I subscribed!
Awesome set Richard!!! Nice video. Cheers Onno..
Thanks Onno!
Great video they are nice coaches and finally nice to see that as a complete train
I have the GWR ones but from the full 5 car pack
Yes it's been a while!
Great Video, Love Class 800s
thanks!
Brilliant video Richard the 800 does look good on your layout good luck with the move I had noticed that there was not much new context on your channel. Good luck to what you get up to in the future and what you your plans are.
You can see me over on Hornby Magazines channel if you miss me lol
Very smart looking thingy that train thingy.. it was great seeing it on West coast Cement very sleek.. I come over all funny for a minute and thought I said I liked that modern train 😯
Now I know for sure rust looks bloody awesome on white 😆
Haha stay away! 😆
Brilliant video and not bad set of coaches either
You know it! 😅
Great video as allways and keep safe mate
Thanks Jason! you too
Hi Richard. Very interesting narration. I only have the front and back part for my collection and will be getting Road and Rails to fit sound for me in due course, when this troubled time is behind us.
Yeah I'd like sound too.
Great video Richard.
The test train looks fantastic as a set.
Almost as good as my GWR version ;)
Almost! 😆🥒
Got my set out on my channel yesterday 🙂 they do make a gorgeous train 🙂
Stunning train!
@@NewJunctionI think the azuma will be even more gorgeous, when they finally get it out
That is stunning. I haven't liked something so much in quite a while.
me or the 800? ;-)
@@NewJunction I resisted actually making that joke in my original comment! ha ha. You are a thing of beauty for sure and maybe if we met in a bar and I had had 10000 million pints, you could take me back to your railway and try out the toilets at your station!!! ha
@@vxrdrummer haha
Does look very smart as a full set, bet you can't wait for the LNER set!
I hope it's not delayed too much
Hi Richard saw your video on the new Hornby Hitachi Azuma class 800 looks awesome When my wife and I went to stay with our daughter in Thatcham west Berkshire we took our daughter and grandchildren to London for the day so we were lucky to travel on a brand new Azuma 800 GWR in first class from Newbury to London Paddington great journey on a fantastic train also got my grandson into the hobby got him Cock. O the North dcc
Best Wishes
Kev Beighton Parkway Sheffileld
Thanks Kev, glad you enjoyed it, I must say first class is very nice!
Hi Richard- They look very impressive going round the layout and when you consider the price of a normal top range coach when you add the lights into the equation the price is reasonable. Looking forward to what other videos you have up your sleeve. Keep well & safe ------------------------Cheers Kev
thanks Kev!
Great vid Richard I'm mainly modern freight but that looks fab especially in the dark.
All the best with the move i know you only live down the road from me and look forward to seeing the new layout
Love the modern image scene 👍
Mike kryton central tmd.
Thanks Mike!
Nice to see the full set hope that you are OK keep in touch mate
Hiya pal, how have you been?
@@NewJunction I'm doing well started working on a new project on my layout hope to see you again soon
wow this looks perfect with the ends and the cars aw man i wish i was born in the uk
great vid. The set do look going running round the 2 layouts at the show. its a fab set and think its worth the money
Your right, don't you have them?
@@NewJunction i have the GWR set not the one you have
Nice 👍 video
Very nice review Richard! You’re ever so pushing me to get the test train 😩
haha do it! you know you want to
I'm waiting for both azumas for my collection but i love the video as always
Thanks Jamie!
Stay safe Richard 👍
Thanks Paul, you too!
Nice new train, good to see another video from you Richard. So let me see if I get this right, you buy the two end units as a set, then wait two years for the coaches, which are then released as a limited set of 500 and you have to hope you can get them............Wow that's risky...................Anyway, stay safe, and thanks. Regards Dave.
Yes, lots of pestering to my local shop to make sure I got a pack hehe
Kool video Azuma model is kool and that 156 would look good with my 156 s lol
hehe my little easter egg
So many trains 🚞😱😱😱
I’ve uploaded a few videos of my sound fitted Class 800 in Hitachi test livery to my channel this weekend. The coach pack is long overdue
Your not wrong Adam!
That Test 800 looks absolutely fabulous, definitely want one now! It looks so good sweeping along the shallow curves under the wires - can I ask about that concrete-sleeper track, looks awesome, is that Peco flexi track in code 100 or 75? Thanks, awesome video across all three layouts, look forward to more!
Hello Richard. I was thinking of having a model railway in my bedroom using a full 9 coach set Azuma. Using these illl have to save up for two sets. And the front coaches as well! I’m using a pool table so it’s not too big. And it fits in my bedroom. I’ll probably get a NR Test Train and a shunter so I can drag this around.
Sounds good
@@NewJunction yeah. But it will take a while to save up. I’m thinking about buying the track first. Then the trains
Who's this stranger 😂. Nice video Richard, great carriages well worth the money
Ha! If you miss me you know which other channel I'll be on! 😅
@@NewJunction certainly do
Locked in with trains, some positives
Glass half full!
Yay a video 👍👍
At last!
I saw you at the Basingstoke model show. Never did see the iep, as it wasnt on west coast cement, mike said it was on loftus road, of which I never did find it
its on both layouts in this video! :D
Great to see another video for new junction! I’m currently trying to add coach lighting to all my fleet during covid 19 and wondered how Hornby have added lighting to these coaches and how it works. Of course you don’t work for Hornby but do you have any ideas of what sort of leds they have used and how the lights operate? Secondly are the lights that yellowish in real life or is it just the camera. Was expecting a new model to have a much more pure/ bright white as per modern stock? All the best Matt
They are yellow which may be the light or the 'glass', it's more realistic in my mind.
No idea what LEDs they use. 😆
Brilliant video Richard very nice coaches to go with the Zuma hopefully a TPE version gets announced soon. But we need to talk about your realtrack class 156 northern rail Purple/Blue repaint sneakily sitting on platform 2 😆 I'm sure rainbow Railways said I had the only one 🤣 I'm sure there's going to be review soon 👀. Take care
All the best Craig 😁👍
Haha they did two and I have one! 😆
@@NewJunction 😆
@@NewJunction yeah I got the other after there Scotland show
@@hydetmd7884 twins lol
Hi Richard , great video , thank you for sharing , a few questions if I may please, one is how or where did you get the station sounds and ambiance, at the moment I use a Google home to play railway station ' ambience ' but yours had actual station announcements about your Azuma , so is this some sort of pc software please? I really would like to know especially as it had the sound of the MTU diesel powering up as your set departed , or is it one of those sound cubes ?.
Another question I'm new to the hobby I have a GWR green version of this and it looks great but some of the bogies catch on the bodies and I'm not sure what the fix is, I'd thought of small plastic washers ? And , one thing I'm not sure how to remove the coach bodies two I don't know but would appreciate advice on how to open the ' power cars ' as I have some DCC chips to fit , and annoyingly these things need two, for the direction lights to work) ( ps I loved seeing the proper IET/HST in Lner livery sat at your station, I also liked the , highly detailed, not sure of the manufacturer I can't think the - northern coloured 156, although I'm.a 158 fan , I didnt know they did it in northern livery or was it hand painted ?, Either way nice touch on your layout !🙂).
Also I note you have what looks like the peco OHLE electrification masts , my question with this, is having got a class 91 ( old tooling ) and a 90 ' ditto', both have a switch on top to make the pantograph draw power , I did call one model shop in the south , the guy seemed very short , curt and unhelpful , kinda rubbished my wanting to use the overhead wires for power , he said they are only for decoration only , yet the pack says different, so how does one , get power to the contact wire, given how thin the masts are, secondly how would you get ' live and neutral ' ? This may sound like a silly question, but I'm rather new to the hobby , as I got in memory of the last thing my dad and I did together before he was killed , which was setup a then small model railway , so now much older ' 40's', I'm back in the hobby , my layout is loosely based on the borders railway set around my version of Hawick , only this Hawick has two main stations on the Hawick side the middle a full sized airport , realworld details and 1/100.scale that is a match for 00 gauge ( the people that you have on the layout , match the size of the aircraft doors on the aircraft models ) the trains run full length under the runway , i made it into a tunnel , the airport building modeled on Doncaster Airport, with its own station to fit upto a four car voyager . But anwyay I really love your layout , I also need help with point motors , I made an error in building the layout and buildings before doing the motors , I've also done a fair amount of ballsting, but any help or advice I'd be greatful, as I say your layout looks amazing I did wonder if you'd painted the 156? , Or is it Adam at Electra graphics who does the amazing vinyls for various trains , not sure yet if he's done the 800, but if he has I'd bet the 800 would look nice in Transpennine , I have a class 350 in that scheme it looks great .
Once again great video on this train, I do hope you may be able to help, I have a disability so sometimes things are more difficult to do, and i have to get help with stuff, but that's like sending away faulty trains , eg the new tooling bachman class 158 has two flaws one out of five bought all had one or more wheel sets at an angle bit in the bogie frame , the other is some after a while just stop running , the lights are on but no action , that's DC and DCC so hence they got sent away . Well good luck with the layout , I look forward to seeing more reviews, especially if you should get the upcoming ' class 745 or 755 four car bi mode flirt train sets that run in Anglia, they are from Hornby and are due very soon .
They do look nice Richard. I'm tempted to get the LNER set but not sure if spending $600.00 ish on model railway stuff is wise with the current situation in the world. Take care, hope to see you at another show sometime. Regards, David.
You may be right David! Take care chap
What a beautiful model, it looks stunning, I am just getting back into model trains so I have a bit of catching up to do can you also tell me where I can get a railway sign like your New Junction sign on the wall of your layout, regards, Colin.
Hi Colin, The sign comes from a chap who makes them while you wait at big shows, he's normally at Warley
Very nice. Starting to regret not buying that pack now. Have you upgraded you're dcc system? What are you using now? Great to see the layout again.
well spotted Gary, I use a Gauge master advanced
Wow.. I thought you would have “chopped” the layout by now
😉 you never know when this was recorded lol
New Junction TBH, I did think about that before I added the comment
Another great video there, I’ve always wanted a class 800 but their a bit out of my budget 🤣, also, what type of ballast do you use on your layout as I do like the overall look? Keep up the good work 👍🏻
Hi Callum, its a mix of woodland scenics and hattons stuff, all N gauge
New Junction looks like a really good combination, I’m a massive fan of your layout 👍🏻
Is this what heaven is like 😂
Where did you get that train
Nice to see you back in your own loft! I saw you at Modelrail Scotland but you were busy filming whatever Hornby was revealing so didn't get a chance to say hello.
Nicely detailed on the outside, however, for that price I wouldn't expect to have to dismantle them to deal with the light bleed!
Hiya chap, your not wrong!
Jolly good show mate. Where’s the best place where I could get one of these sets? I’m in Australia
Brilliant take it you be putting people inside the Coaches?
After watching the other Richard do that, I'm not sure I have the patience
did you notice the light bleed from the cockpit door 8:54
the body could do with being removed and the inside painted with a black undercoat then white over the top so that the light stops a bleed through
I mentioned it too lol
HI there can i ask if you have ever had any problems with your Class 800's starting up moving and then stopping multiple times then creating a short circuit. i am in the throws of returning my 800back to hornby for the second time now with the same motor fault. yet all my other hornby and bachmann locos all work perfectly fine.
Not personally 😕
One thing what about the haulage capabilty with the new coaches , must be good i guess ?
Lovely 156... Also, will we ever hear the story of those europhoenix class 91s?
They have been spoken off! :D
New Junction where can I find this video lol
is there anywhere to buy this train and some of the trains you have because i can’t find anywhere that has them
or a model shop
Well, the face and place are familiar. Welcome back to your channel. lol Gorgeous set, even if "test liveries." The price is (comparatively) very nice with what's included. The light bleed is a small bit of an issue. I can pay over £200 for a 3 car set with equivalent extras on my Railjets or ICEs. Anyhow, hope the move is as smooth as possible. Stay healthy!
Thanks Ant, good to be back!
Hi Richard long time know see i see have you not more yet I hope you are keeping well mate at this bad time stay safe mate clive
Thanks Clive, all.good this end ta!
The cab door was glowing! Great video as always! Would you consider sound chipping it or an LNER class 800 if that were to come?
Yes, waiting for Paul Chetta to do.something 😆
Was great meet u in glasgow in feb photos on Instagram
Hi Callum, The pleasure was all mine!
Could you share the pictures on the New Junction Facebook page at all?
Regards
Richard
@@NewJunction will do ,calum started on garden railway
Is your layout still up or was this filmed in advance? Very nice video!
Bit of both! 😅
@@NewJunction Oh i see! Good luck with whatever happens next on your layout
Are you getting one or both of the LNER 800s Hornby is bringing out?
I hope so!
👍🏽 👍🏽 👍🏽 👍🏽 👍🏽
If and when your get the class 800 in the LNER livery will you try and double end both class 800s to try make a 10 car....?
Yes! Can't wait
New Junction yes!
Beautiful world you be putting people inside the coaches?
Yes its on the list!
Sorry for the miss spelling would and thanks for replying xx
@@p.r.tfilms9777 I didn't notice hehe
Hello, I enjoy your videos and am thinking of starting a layout. My loft space is quite big but like a FREEZER! how do you heat, ventilate and then keep it cool in summer? Thanks, Nigel
Jumper or Tshirt is normally my choice haha a small electric heater and good insulation will help
@@NewJunction Thank you, my loft is very old. appreciated.
Nice model but I prefer the LNER and GWR livery to the plain white. Transpennine looks the best but not made yet.
not announced yet either! I hope it will be
6:29 those handles deliberately not painted yellow like the rest?
Yes, no idea why not mind lol
Is it dc or DCC
Do a 2020 layout tour before you move house 🏠 please 😀
Good Idea!
I’ve given you the 99th like
Thanks Karim!
Are there model class 68’s or 88’s?
PS: Light Bleed! You'd think by now Manufacturers would have over come the issue in 1 of two ways themselves for the price charged these days!
The light bleed is terrible really for a £170 coach pack to be quite honest
@@thomasthornton2002 Its not noticeable in the day light
The light bleed is not slight but very noticeable. There is no excuse for this.
is the train able to draw power from the pan or not
nope
@@NewJunction thanks love the videos , really miss not having the space to get my original hst running along with the class 25
👍👍👍❤❤❤🚂🚂🚂
The 156 at 10:00 😲
Rainbow railways special
New Junction I seen that.
What is the name of the Facebook group you and the other are in?
Model Rail Network
Great looking train but 2 year wait between ends and intermediate coaches hardly joined up thinking. It’s the same with Scotrail HST . Still waiting for the intermediates . I thought you were dismantling New Junction ready for house move
I am, it's in bits lol
The delays are annoying sometimes, as long as they eventuality get here.
I imagine you get asked this all the but do you play any games like Cities Skylines or Transport fever? i don't have the space for a real set so i kind of use the games as a virtual train set haha
That's a good idea when space is limited! I tend to play real time strategies myself like Roller coaster tycoon.
Are those the new Hornby LNER powercars i spy there?
They are indeed! 😉
@@NewJunction Nice! Picked them up myself too, excellent set of powercars but the price is a little high... Also having problems with my virgin powercar (dummy unit) where it makes a high pitched squeaking noise while running, I tried oiling and it made it worse 😂 any ideas?
Looks good, have run my gwr one in the dark and the lights are great. However I don’t know if it’s just the camera but some of the light bleeds out on the coach sides and does not look good. Almost toy like. Excellent presentation!
Yes the light bleed is noticable
Moving,are you coming back to geordieland,just stay safe dude.
I wish, only moving a few miles down the road.
@@NewJunction As long as the attic is bigger you will be champion,0 guage needs space for a full 91 rake.
How much is it?
£170ish
Why havent hornby or bachmann done any networkers like the 717 or the 465/466/365 or 700 surely there must be a reason
