My mate got a Tango O2, I told him to send it back because they are rubbish. He said “No, it’s Heljan, they are great with locos”. And I just got an Email from him saying it is rubbish and he is going to send it back.
Haha! Sometimes you have to let people find out for themselves - at least he knows what he’s talking about though, to spot that it was in fact rubbish!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Nice review - I've just got one today and she runs like a charm!
I bought one prompted by your earlier review of it. It turned out to be a good runner for my branch line smallish layout. No big loads required, no hills, and a quiet runner, which I really like.
That sounds perfect mate - with smaller loads on lighter duties, you can't go wrong with these! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Oh my goodness! This loco is beautiful! The livery suits the loco so nicely. Amazing review, Sam.
Thanks very much mate - I think so too! :D
Nice little model, but it definitely looks better in L&Y livery (one of the rare instances where black is a good livery). I really liked the Class 5 when I saw it at the Railway Museum.
Well done on this review Sam! The l&yr tank looks lovely! :D
Thanks a lot mate, really glad you enjoyed it!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Hi Sam, just bought one of these as a present for my dad. Thanks for your review, it helped in my decision.
That's fantastic Dave - really hope he enjoys it! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
An excellent review of a very nice locomotive. These engines were used by the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway on express trains and had water pick up apparatus which allowed them to take water running both forwards and in reverse. One is preserved in York Museum. I have bought one for my collection.
Thanks very much John - they are lovely machines - hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Hi Sam your the best model railroad UA-camr ever!!
Bless you, that's very kind of you to say mate, I don't think that's true though! ;D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Wow super beautiful locomotive! I love it😍 great work Sam!
Thanks so much mate - really glad you liked this one!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Oooo I do like that, the livery makes it look great, as you say the wheal configuration also gives it character!
Well done Sam Great video 👍
Thanks a lot George - yeah definitely - I just love the way this one looks! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
An amazing video, an amazing loco, from an amazing youtuber!
Keep up the good work Sam!
You’re very kind mate, thanks a lot for your comments!
Cheers,
Sam :)
Hello Sam, great vid. Another midland loco in that beautiful Crimson Lake. Well done,
- Dylan
Thanks very much Dylan, appreciate it!
Cheers,
Sam :)
About 20 years ago I built a NuCast kit of the Belpaire boiler version, as its white metal it weighs a lot and it has the leading and trailing trucks just floating along. This puts all the weight on the drivers as a result it will pull a good load of coaches.
Wow that sounds superb - have you got any videos of that?? :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
@@SamsTrains I havent got any videos unfortunately I recently converted my layout to DCC and I havent got round to chipping the loco yet. Funds are a bit tight after buying 15 chips :-)
Wow Sam this looks like an amazing model especially the livery captures my eye so well great review can’t wait for more!
Thanks a lot mate - really glad you liked this one, it is a real beauty! :D
I came back to watch this because I pre-ordered when I saw it on the rails website some time ago (I was ordering the Presidents and 812s I think). I had already bought the black LMS version. Rails wrote to me aobut 6 weeks ago to say that the price was going up and was I ok with this. I said I was but a week later I found this crimson version in my storage! I couldn't beleive I already had it, so I cancelled my pre-order. I have written a data base for a model railway collection but I haven't put my own stock into it yet and this is the result!
Sam, the lifesaver!!!!!!!!!
haha - the loco lifesaver ;)
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
yep got it, its run in on myflat layour with 3rd rad curves 4lit pulman coaches caused a lot of whee lsli p so schools wellington has taken over, might try it with 2 57 foot lms coaches, eventually will get some of the new 4 and 6 wheel heritage coaches
Great video Sam it is a great model may have to get one some day
Thanks a lot David, I can certainly recommend it!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Great vid Sam . I just thought you might do a running session on pre-grouping engines
Thanks a lot mate! I have done that, hopefully you can find it?? :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
This is my favorite tank engine as i think the 2-4-2 wheel base is kind of unique.
Thanks Patrick - I really love the unusual 2-4-2 wheel configuration too!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Man that engine looks amazing, i just wish it had more side-rod/piston action visible
Yeah me too - it'd look even more amazing with that!! :O
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Nice one Sam!
Thanks Marco! :D
I went to the Crewe open day. For the first time, I saw the hatton's p class on sale, it was so tiny, I swear the locos look so much bigger in your video!
That's awesome mate - hope you had a great time! Yeah it really does - it's amazing how tiny they really are! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Now I actually have one of these and I see it is not just me with the pickup issues. I find it can stutter a bit from cold but after a bit of running it can just creap along with no problem. Of course if I clean the wheels and track it goes perfectly. Interesting about pulling power as I have had mine pulling 18 coal wagons with no problem.
Sorry to hear you have that too Ian - I think they needed a bit of clever pick-up design with this one, which sadly they didn't deliver! haha - your trackwork must be much better designed than mine is then ;)
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Seems a balanced locomotive very nice wheel configuration.
Yeah absolutely - definitely a nice balanced wheel configuration! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
One of bachmanns best
It certainly is!! :D
Really beautifully done. I think the upcoming Crimson Lake scheme will have "LMS" rather than the seal.
Thanks Andrew! Is that so? Quite a nice variation this time then!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Woah! So unusual, with an even more unusual history!
haha thanks mate - yeah definitely an odd one this!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Nice video Sam. VERY INTERESTING INFORMATIVE. I think two early crest B R BLACK based at Manningham BRADFORD would suit me just fine. Subject to being passed by the locomotive committee ( MY WIFE) 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I did not know how old the locomotive was. Great review Sam . Happy Christmas.
Thanks so much Mark, that sounds great - hoe you can get a couple too!
Merry Christmas - Sam :)
thanks Sam, missed out on the 1p 4-4-0but they offered me one of these for $160nz which is about 80 quid, so I said yes and I'm off to get it on Wednesday week, which is the next pension pay dayso seeing this reasured that I willlike it,i think its crimson, gone off black which i used to buy as its area anonymous as I am split between Birmingham's lms/gwr split and my southern love wehich comes from my homby dublo first train set and my parents loveof the south, despite both of them being front line ww2 there so it must be special for them to love what was dubbed hell's corner hope the chap in the orange overalls on the footbridge is ok, he must be getting a sore situpon by now
all the best thanks for another great review, roy
Blimmey - £80 is very much okay - hope you can get one! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Great review.
Thanks a lot Jacob! :D
I prefer the 2-6-2 and 0-6-0 tank engines, plus the 2-6-4 tank engines. I'd like to see an updated review of the GWR Manor 4-6-0. I love that engine best of all. Broome Manor is more beautiful than any other engine you've reviewed so far.
That's fair enough Kelly - those are indeed more conventional! So what is it about the Manors that make you love them so much?? :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
@@SamsTrains 7822 Foxcote Manor makes me jump for joy. She excites me more than any other engine. That's because she has a shrill Swindon whistle that echoes around the railway scenery, and I always recognise it when I hear it. Foxy has more Great Western charm and magic than say Sir Nigel Gresley and Sir Lamiel. I love Foxy with all my heart and soul; she is my one true love and I wish I could marry her. Thus, I've taken a shine to Broome Manor 7805. This is why I love the Manor engines so much.
There’s a few models I’d love to see in 00 gauge... a Brighton J Class, a LNWR Precedent.... and maybe even as adventurous as a Webb Compound Dreadnought... now that’s something id love to see! If you haven’t heard of them, I’d recommend looking up the Dreadnoughts, as they are very strange engines!
Ooh a Precedent would be amazing to see - you're right about those!! :O
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I really like this loco for some reason.
haha me too - it's just one of those fascinating ones isn't it?? :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Really nice loco I will hopefully be getting the older one I think that the RRP is to high really good video Sam 😀
Thanks a lot mate - I can certainly recommend it - check the link in the description, the older one is very cheap indeed at the moment! Agreed though - the RRP is taking the mickey very slightly ;)
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Interesting wheel arrangement
Definitely - pretty unique!!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Hi Sam really enjoy your videos. I have one of these but its the locomotion special edition of the one in the nrm 1008. Mine doesn't have sprung buffers though 🤔
Thanks very much David - ooh that sounds fantastic! I wonder if it's prototypical for that version not to have sprung buffers? ?:D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I’d love to see the Bachmann 08 shunter again.
Me too! I love that engine!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
It kind of looks like Oliver but with 2 mini wheels at the front,Its a Noice model of the class 5!
haha yeah! You're not the first one to say this looks a bit like Oliver! ;D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
This loco looks great in the maroon!
Thank you! I love the maroon too! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Hi Sam, You do a Very good job nice to listen, I like the engine but the price a bit to high , like the other engines , All the Best Brian 🤗
Thanks Brian - yes indeed, a bit too much for this! Appreciate it mate,
Sam :)
It really looks good with the livery, I looked this up and apparently one of the class suffered a boiler explosion, those explosions are brutal on an engine, pipes blasting out of an locomotive or for the image on the wikipedia page on boiler explosions, a locomotive is thrown onto the roof of another.
Edit: I would point out the odd one out, but it's a toss up between 21:41, 22:06 and 24:14, I'm betting on 24:14.
Thanks a lot Harry, I think so too! Yes you’re right - I read about that too - pretty scary and brutal stuff!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
There is only one Bachmann tank engine which I am looking forward to at the moment, that is the Johnson 1P. Assuming Hattons are actually able to get stocks from Bachmann, that is; Bachmann are still refusing to supply Hattons.
Ahh yes - it should indeed be very interesting to see how the 1P turns out - lovely looking thing!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I was so confused when I saw the video cuz I thought u had already done this loco, then u explained why. The reason I bought the original version was because of ur video
Ahh that's fantastic to hear mate - glad you got one too! Yeah I thought it was time to redo my old review!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I say it every time Chris green does a sole slip on 19th century locomotives, and I’m gonna say it again for this one; it never fails to amaze me when 19th century engines survive well into the British Railways era.
haha I know - those engine builders really did know what they were doing!!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
This one is a beauty 😍
Thanks a lot mate - I think she is too! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Looks amazing! Unfortunately Ii haven't had pleasant experiences with Bachmann locos, and also have to shell out a bit of my pocket money to fix a coupling on my Hornby A4 so I don't think I will be getting new stock anytime soon.
Sorry to hear that mate - sorry but not surprised, I don’t consider them to be very good quality most of the time!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
@@SamsTrains yeah. Went to couple up to my WCRC Mk1's and as soon as it coupled the attachment broke. Managed to get it out now, but by the looks of things they aren't NEM pockets and are proprietary, so yay(!)
Love tank engines......thanks Sam.....by the way with you all the way about the price....not sure if I will get one...but tempting though 👍
Thanks a lot mate! Yeah it's a shame they have to price their models the way they do - I just hope the public vote with their wallets!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Hi Sam, nice loco,
It is a bit odd that r-t-r 2-4-2ts are rare beasts considering in real life 2-4-2 tanks were very popular. A lot of pre grouping companies used them to some degree, manly those with heavy commuter and suburban traffic. These include the GWR, LNWR, GCR, GER, NER, LBSCR and a lot of smaaler lines like The Wirral and Colne Valley. Its not that were rare in BR days either, they were used well into the 1950's, with some of the Great Eastern locos lasting until 1960. Surely a model of a GER F4 or F5 would be a good seller.
Just interest, the GWR built 31 class 36xx 2-4-2 tanks in 1900, one of William Deans last designs. They were call Birdcages due their large well windowed cabs (The GER also had 2-4-2 tank with the same nicknme, the F6's). They used the same water pick ups the GWR used on their fastest express locos like the Dean Singles and the Badminton 4-4-0;s. The result was they picked water far to fast and the preasure burst the tanks open. In the end they were fitted with huge overflow valves, three times the size of normal fitting, they looked like huge metal mushroom, so the class got another nickname 'the mushroom tanks'
Anyway great vid as always.
Jon
P.S. - Any chance of a retro review on your triang side tank 0-4-0t, the Nelly / Polly / Connie one?
Yeah that is quite unusual - this is the only one I can think of! I didn't realise there were many though, thanks for letting me know about those! Appreciate your kind words mate,
Sam :)
I quite like that loco. If I wanted to buy one, I would get one from second hand market possibly in BR Black
Sounds good! Second hand is definitely a good way to go! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
It’s a very nice model. In terms of tank engines, it looks an awful lot like what we have Down Under.
Thanks very much! Ooh does it?? I'll have to look some of those up! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Wonderful video as always. I actually was just looking into the Class 5 and ended up seeing that you did a video on it. How I love these little engines.
I did want to ask seeing as you might know a thing or two about the Class 5, do you know how fast this tank engine actually could go? I have looked all over the internet but so far no luck.
Wish I lived in the U.K. 😭. I’m so jealous of the fabulous engines you have over there.
Thanks very much mate - I really do love these ones too! I'm not too sure actually - I wouldn't have thought they'd be super fast for that era... my guess would be 60-70mph max??
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Sam'sTrains Oh wow! For a tank engine that seems fast but then again it isn’t unheard of. Thank you and keep up the superb work.
There are a few 2-4-2 engine from the Great Eastern thanks to Holden
I've been hearing about those! I'd love to see some in model form! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
This L&Y tank looks a fine model Sam, but once again the Price is an issue, thanks for your honest review...Bob
Thanks a lot Bob - yep, starting to sound like a broken record aren't I?? ;D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Not at all Sam, your opinions are impartial and very helpful to your loyal followers.
Hey Sam'sTrains, nice Little 2-4-2 I like 2-4-2s the Engine looks like Furness Railway Tank Engine 2-4-2. 1,000,000/1,000,000
Thanks very much Benito - it does actually, you're right!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
@@SamsTrains UR WELCOME
A very charming little engine, Enjoyed the video as always Sam.
~James
Thanks a lot James, really glad you liked her!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
The cylinders on the prototype are pretty much directly under the smokebox between the 2 front wheels. I'm not sure, but it looked like they weren't included on your model (although to see them even on the prototype you'd have to get down on your hands and knees in front of the loco...)
Anyway, I loved this video! The Class 5 tank is probably my favorite Brittish locomotive. Too bad about the high price, though.
Ahh very interesting John, thanks for this - I'll definitely try and find some material on that! Glad you liked the engine anyway - and yeah, the price is going in the wrong direction, for an ageing model ;)
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
hello, that is a lovely loco i love the livery
Thanks a lot mate, glad you did!
Cheers,
Sam :)
21:52 I've also noticed that the back rear wheel on the N7 is dragging on the tracks and is de railed.
Ooh really?? I never noticed that, haha - well spotted! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I always use my class 5 with 4 wheel coaches, I think she always looks better with about 4 or 5 of them with a break van, that or I put her with a mixed train
Yeah I agree - I really like to run mine with the 4-wheelers too! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Beautiful.
Thank you! :D
@@SamsTrains np
Cool video
Thanks Justin! :D
Rails of Sheffield have the LMS crimson lake 10730 on their website for GBP 111 retailer's price (no RRP indicated by Bachmann), and no issue date. Hope they'll put a 5 poles motor for this price...
When you see what Oxford Rail and Hatton's use to sell for GBP 100, it's a shame that Bachmann does not make no effort to put their prices down.
Ahh fantastic - that's not to bad at all - but I imagine they'll still have the same old 3-pole motor!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I like your trains and rails
Thanks very much Jesus! :D
You don't drop the water scoop unless you are picking up water, therefor you wouldn't expect to see water scoops under the locomotive. The word is dissect not disect. People often mistake the word. There are two words bisect meaning cut in half and dissect which means cut open. Remember, that as a 2-4-2 it wasn't expected to take high numbers of coaches but was a good commuter engine.
I see Don, thanks a lot for letting me know - and yes that's very true, it's certainly not a dreadful puller by any means!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I genuinely wonder if there will ever be a time where Sam will run out of a item to review
I wonder that too... it shouldn't be a problem for a good few years yet though ;)
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Oh wow i like it ! :D
Glad to hear you liked it mate!
Cheers,
Sam :)
Hi. I am not very fond of Bachmann Trains. In fact I've got only four Bachmann locomotives : two 80-Ton 3-Truck Shays and two GE 44-tonners for switching in the yard of my (future) sawing mill company. I had to fully disassemble and rebuild even the pickups of both Shays (I also took the chance to install a Loksound , led lights, and a fire-effect led in the boiler) to be able to make them run smoothly. And I will have to rebuild the GE-44 tonners too... It was hard with the Shays...but I learnt a lot and I enjoyed a lot too. But I am totally convinced that the price for Bachmann locomotives is not fair. They are very good looking locomotives but their mechanics is rather lousy. In my humble opinion they don't offer what they are priced for.
I can understand that mate - they have made some poor engines in the past! Glad you were able to do something to improve them though mate! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I'm waiting for the L&Y version to be reissued as its the closest thing to a Barry Railway Class J.
Ahh very nice! Will you be converting it into a class J? :D
@@SamsTrains Yes. With the help of more talented modelling friends than myself.
Hi Sam. I have got a crazy idea for a video; even though the Class 5 tank engine was once part of the Metropolitan railway line, you should make it a new friend of Thomas by supergluing a close up shot of Theresa May's face onto the smoke box door. Then the class 5 will be named "Theresa May" and then you should make all your other real-life engine friends, Thomas trains and sticking faces of famous people, especially politicians.
haha!! What an interesting piece of satire that would make! If I ever lose my mind completely, I'll be sure to give that a try, lol! ;D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Don’t worry; you might lose your mind if Boffin Johnson comes in!
Very beautiful train
Hi Sam! Excellent review! I think it's too expensive! Please could you do some more diesels? You still haven't done your Lima EWS class 60. Also I recommend the Dapol class 68. How long till your next video?
Thanks very much mate - I agree, pretty expensive! Yes, more diesels coming very soon!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Looks fantastic! Shame about the slow running though. If you're paying the high price for the newer versions you'd hope that wouldn't be the case on those examples
Yeah I agree - for that price, there was really no room for anything other than perfection!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I heard that this locomotive is used as the basis for a Disney World attraction called the Wildlife Express. How come nobody didn’t made a custom out of this mold?
Bachmann prices never come down. They milk the enthusiast for everything they’ve got . You are paying the Kader premium because they expect European levels of pricing from their U.K. arm. I got a Lancashire and Yorkshire liveried one, when prices were ok , probably about 5 years ago. I think it was a limited edition from Locomotion , but it’s almost never used. I find the wheel arrangement tends to derail easily . I actually prefer the maroon LMS one but definitely not buying another. The Fowler 4MT I think is the odd one out or is it a Fairburn tank , couldn’t quite make it out , dating from LMS days
Absolutely right Russell - and it annoys the hell out of me! Yes I think that will have been the Locomotion one, they did do the L&Y version! And very well spotted with the tank - that's correct! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Hi Sam, really nice video and a really nice loco. I was interested in your comments about Bachmann motors and oiling them. I’m running N gauge, but have also recently had some problems with Farish motors, which, again, are basically Bachmann. Have you had any experience of these, and any suggestions about how to best look after them?, cheers, Stewart.
Thanks so much Stewart! I've never had any experience with their N gauge motors, but if they're anything like Bachmann's, don't put any oil on the brush end of the motor (the end the wires are connected to) - and that should keep them in good shape! Also, running-in is essential with them before loading them up with rolling stock!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
@@SamsTrains Hi Sam, thanks for getting back to me so quickly, I really appreciate it. I normally run in new locos for about 30 mins in each direction, and have been lightly oiling the gearing when the locos seem to be getting noisy . However, I've recently been having 'fun' with a Class 37 and Class 47, so was wondering if there was anything else I could be doing. I'm really enjoying your different videos. They're really good fun and great to watch, cheers, Stewart.
Hi Sam can you make a video explaining how to keep a electric current throughout all the track on a model railway this would really help as I’m starting to build a model railway thanks.Lewis
Thanks Lewis, I might look into doing that :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Hey Sam did you know that James the splendid red engine was built by the Lancashire and Yorkshire railway
Yeah I did! So this might be a relative of James's?? :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I have question so I got a new Bachmann Thomas set and I don’t know when I have to clean the track do you when I have to clean it? I was thinking of doing it every time I play with it
Hey Merlin - every time you play with it is a very good option - but really, I'd do it every week if you play often, or every month if it's just a few hours a week!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
@@SamsTrains ok thanks!
Very nice
Thanks mate! :D
I seem to have a different experience with Bachman.... I've never had a problem with their motors ... I run american engines so perhaps the size of our engines has something to do with it but I digress... great video though you do a good job
Glad to hear that! Don't get me wrong - it isn't every other engine's motor failing - but it's certainly more frequent than from other
manufacturers in my experience!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I love this 2-4-2 Tank Engine from the late 1880s! Quite an odd wheel configuration and a wheel configuration you don't see that much at all like 2-8-2T, 2-8-2, 4-4-2, 2-4-2T, 4-4-2T, and 0-4-4. But isn't this the same 2-4-2 tank engine that you shown in lots of your older and previous videos or is this a new one with a new running number?
Thanks a lot mate, yes it’s very odd indeed! Yes it’s the same, I decided to make a fresh new review!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
If possible, could you re-review the Royal Scott? I know it’s been troublesome and problematic, but I’d love to see it again. You could also just review it by itself on the white background, but, if it’s not working, run other LMS engines like the duchesses?
Yeah that would be great - I'm actually thinking about getting one of the Hornby ones to do a review!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I might be wrong, but that engine looks like Albert from the Thomas Railway Series.
Yeah it does a bit!! ;D
Hey Sams trains can you do another train review of a chessie system diesel that is if you can find one if so thanks keep up the good work 👍👍👍🇬🇧 and then can you compare American diesel and a England diesel trains
That sounds great, I’ll be sure to keep en eye out for one! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Speaking of L&YR Tank Engines I've seen another weird wheel configuration for another L&YR tank engine and it's the L&YR Class 32 and it has a 0-8-2T wheel configuration. Quite an odd wheel configuration for a tank engine. Also they got withdrawn and scrapped pretty early during the late 1920s and none got preserved.
Image: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%26YR_Class_32
Oh really?? That is quite odd - I'd love to see that in model form! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I’d love to have a lot of these OO gauge steam locomotives but I’m having trouble finding retailers that sell them over here in the States
Ahh sorry to hear that! Check Hatton's - they do ship to the US quite reasonably! :D
Happy New Year - Sam :)
Sam: I can’t buy every new loco that comes out
Me: Not with that attitude...
Hi Sam. Nice little loco but again Bachmann have overpriced their models in my opinion. Following you're review on the N7 I have pre- ordered the BR black version with dcc sound with the new loksound decoder for not much more than a basic Bachmann tank. Hats off to Oxford rail and sensible pricing!!. Cheers Sam.
Thanks Dave, I’d agree with you there! Absolutely right - here’s to oxford rail for showing up weaker manufacturers!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I have been curious about the posting order of your videos. Today’s video for instance says 4 years ago. Why do we see these older videos? Thanks!
Sam, please review hornby duchess of Hamilton
I'd love to Edward - she is lovely! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
Sam, when will the maroon livery be out and where can I get it? Do you have a Hattons link?
Hey Gino! It was announced in January, but I don't know of any firm dates - I imagine next year some time! I have included a link to the ones available at the moment in the description!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I like it’s maroon livery
Me too!! :D
Nice
Thank you!! :D
Hey sam, those two coaches that you ran with the l&yr class 5, are they Bachmann or mainline?
Hey Nicholas - I think they were Mainline, but Bachmann produced the same coaches for a time I believe!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Can I install a hornby 6 pin dcc decoder in it? I’m just curious because I’m hoping to pick one up next week from my hobby shop.
If it's 6 pin then it should be fine - not tried that myself though!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
@@SamsTrains ok thanks!
that is 1 cute little thing :)
I think it is too!! :3
Stanier 2p 2-6-4t
Well spotted!! :D
They are old and i don't think they'll need to handle the coronation scott anytime soon. So you can't complain about the power also i think the cab is good too a bit too harsh but you were generous by giving it 5 stars.
haha yep that's true - though usually models this size have much less scale tractive effort than their real life counterparts, so there's always room for more pulling power! Duly noted, thanks for your thoughts mate! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
