Who Crashed Duck At St Lukes Model Train Show ?

- St Lukes model train club celebrated 26 years, here is my coverage of the layouts with my son enjoying the model trains along the way.
The highlight for me was the Hornby Live Steam trains, which are a range of steam powered locomotives that operate using real steam. They are controlled via a separate power controller which is incompatible with existing controllers. The Live Steam locomotive must be run in isolation from other DCC or DC engines.
It is impressive technology but sadly these sorts of trains are no longer available. Possibly the very high cost killed off Hornby Live Steam or the sheer novelty factor. It's amazing to think that steam technology can be miniaturized because of the problems which happen when trying to scale down anything to do with water.
The large TOMY drive through mega Thomas is something I would love for my ever expanding Thomas Tank collection.
I feel the best display this year was the LEGO trains which had the fire in the LEGO police station. Doing that simple special effects show really pleased the audience and children at the train show.
Yep my son crashed Duck on a HO U-Drive layout....it's a very sensitive subject.

I did a fair bit of reading up on the model train forums about Hornby Live Steam, and yes I did read performing repairs was difficult, getting spare parts was sometimes near impossible. It also seems that they are very difficult to control and run and required a dedicated area in a layout to be any sort of success.
The Hornby Live Steam stuff was amazing, so sad Hornby stopped making these sorts of model trains.
Thanks for your thoughts about the Hornby Live Steam Mallard, it's such an unusual bit of gear I think thats one of the real draw cards of it.
I have been watching the prices on the Hornby Live Steam Rocket, and thats also been interesting.
I really liked the video leo it was a blast watching it. I felt like I was there with so much more knowledge you just gave me. And 1 last thing, NEVER STOP MAKING VIDEOS!!!!!! :)
the branch line shunting yard is like the little western because of the "duck" and "oliver" engines and the rusty it is like a real life version of it.
this looks like a great exhibition.I used to be into model railways,but gave them up a few years ago.I started viewing your vids reacently,and they have got me back into hornbys!!!I subscribed,thanks very much,great and helpful vids!!!
My grandfather is heavily into model trains and he has his own layout... I’m sure he would have absolutely loved to see all this.
The stars of the show were the N scale layouts, last year there was not much N scale but this year it was everywhere. All of the N scale layouts showed the tiny scale a it's detailed best and it was mighty impressive.
I loved the LEGO rides in this video! That was a cool surprise to see
Lovely Display of trains, I for one have been to a train show a few weeks ago and I shall be putting together a video on it.
my son whom is four loved your video!
What an amazing display! I would love to take my sons to a Model Railroad Convention! Loved the Video... Keep up the good work!
Hi how are you
Great video, watched right to the end. :) I like the live steam!
Neat video, Leo. I was surprised to find that customised Rusty the Diesel on that truck at 3:34. They really did a nice job of converting it into a heap of scrap to take to the junkyard. Though at 3:40 in reality I think it would be very dangerous to sandwich an explosives van between two loaded trucks like that; empty conflats would provide a safer distance between the truck, engine and cargo. Loved seeing the Lego layouts; that was a nice touch, neat special effects for the fire
3:33 rusty omg
Oh no
I've dreamed about a Hornby live steam Flying Scotsman, but modified slightly to look like Blue Peter, ever since I've heard of these. They are neat little models and are a marvel in technology.
Leo, that was brilliant coverage of the event, well done! :) I certainly enjoyed watching it :D
Yeah same
i love your videos. they are very informative and hilarious. my 4 year old son sit and watch them together. He is a huge train fan, especially thomas and chuggington. so needless to say he loves to watch your videos.
yes, thats a really neat way to do your layout, dust free out of the way yet still enjoyable
Well captured Leo, great fun video
If you were ever thinking about getting the live steam A4, live steam stuff do need a lot of care and attention, as they do need water and i read somewhere it needs a bit of coal to, but i guess that would be in the box.
Also it was nice to see a bit of English stuff there, in the mix. I didn't think anything like that was sold over there.
Another great video, keep up the good work
Wow, impressive exhibition Leo,
Looks like the second Lego layout took your advice for fake fires.
There used to be a big train show in Waterford, Ireland when I was younger and I remember it was in a sports centre and they used to put trains on modified aircraft carriers and have races in the pool
Love the little Midlander Custom(talyllyn railway's "Midlander" is rusty's prototype)
You know there are quite a few people saying to snap up the Mallard Live Steam which is still mint in box. I have a hunch these Hornby live steam trains will become highly sort after in years to come due to the problems which have occurred with this line of model trains.
I just need to get my head around how many did Hornby produce.
I think getting a Hornby Mallard Live Steam mint in box is possibly worth getting only because of the problems Live Steam has had, I'm pretty sure it will become fairly sort after in future years, especially if it's all mint in box.
when i saw that scraped version of rusty i was like R.I.P rusty he was known for being chad and saving stepney.
I think there are many people hoping LEGO will do the monorail again, LEGO has a habit of returning to the past and improving on it almost every time...
I WANT THAT BIG TOMY THOMAS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH, THATS ONE I AM STILL TO COLLECT.
I just had the old video game Thomas from the charity shop...it's a prime piece to collect and my son loves the simple game it plays
leokimvideo I know this video is sooo old but now you have 2 or 3 of them!
Great video, I love watching model trains going around on there tracks it's a shame that my bedroom sucks and I can really lay down a track anywhere
I like this video, thanks for sharing with us.
Yes, I lasted that long haha... Very cool sets. I can say that I liked them all, but for bells and whistles coupled with some smoke, the Legs set was at the top of the heap!
As always very nice job on the camera work.
Thumbs UP Mr. Leo!~~John
thanks for the video leo i really enjoyed it i used to have one near my home in the us but sadly they no longer have it
niice little show . didnt need the music . :)
look on the young mans face , priceless .
oops i crashed my tgv v150 on defty , im the driver with the white and gray striped shirt wearing the gloves with robert evans .enjoy people
well done getting FIRST, my son has still not got over crashing Duck on the u-drive layout
The G scale train track is still out there, been a few big rain storms and it seems to have survived so far
Great video very interesting layouts of all types
Interesting to see quite a few US layouts. And seemingly, quite a few American model trains are sold in Australia. But then again, many Australian locomotives are direct descendants from US locomotives or have similar designs. But sometimes it seems more foreign model trains like US and UK locomotives are being sold in Australian hobby shops rather than Australian locomotives. Nice Video.
o
Nice montage.
On the Live Steam front: if this is discontinued, might be an idea to snatch it up while you can. $1000 is a lot, I admit. But for a future collectable, it seems pretty uncanny
There was one store locally that used to carry hornby stuff. That was Allied Model trains in Culver city. when they downsized all of the exotic stuff went as well. I really miss the hornby models and it is too bad they couldnt figure how to get live steam on a DCC setup. In g scale however Live steam is alive and well...
Best camera handling ever
Wow Leo I wish I had Hornby trains for my layout
thanks...the model trains are the stars
Thank you for sharing. The HST at the very start if of particular interest. The reason for that is I believe whoever painted it was trying to represent a CountryLink XPT which is indeed based on the Intercity 125 in Britain and basically Australia's counterpart to the famous train :)
Hi there
Has been a long time since I last went to a model railway show. As I mentioned in the past, I want to try and recreate Kelvedon Branch Line in Hornby scale one day.
Indeed alot of impressive layouts there as well as locomotives ^^ Your son must have had alot of fun there.
Euan
thats intresting because here in Britian most models are of a British type and every now and then an over seas one, it is very few models shops in Britian which sell overseas models so its intresting to that forgin models in Oz are easier to get hold of.
as yet no one else has done it....Hornby cracked the miniature live steam but dropped it after a short time....it's impressive technology and possibly well worth the price
Because Hornby has had such a huge influence on the hobby here the English aspect is always going to be strong. Also considering that England has so much rail heritage and history to call on it's always going to be a modelers delight. To pull off Oz themes and rolling stock is all custom stuff and mighty expensive.
Literally every boy growing up in Oz had a Hornby train set at some point, not sure about today though.
No, the display of red rattlers was not there this year...in fact there were many layouts missing compared to last year. In the void some new layouts appeared.
I really wanted to see that Hornby O gauge train set again it was a killer last year, sadly it was not there. Those old train sets have a magic about them that the new stuff can't compete with.
The best layouts were the N gauge, I'm sort of hooked on these small scale trains now and when it's done right it looks mighty impressive
Very nice video. i really like Hornby and Bachmann and actual have my own OO layout. speaking as a collector, i would say that the Mallard is very good value, as it is discontinued, plus its live steam. im sure it will turn up again somewhere but for more than a thousand. anyway, i am quite jealous that you can go to things like that. i live in the country so its hard to get to places like that. its up to you whether you buy it or not. anyway, keep the cool videos coming!
I've been in same place as your son at a model train show near me I got to try driving a model HO scale freight train I went a little fast around a curve and off the rails it went
this is amazing Leo i love trains especially Thomas (no one post mean comments about this)
Good to see people still run those LEGo 9-volt monorails, I've seen them in meusiums but never running.
That Rusty in the truck was a nice addidion.
The back of the mountian layout was amazing.
I like the look of that purple Olimpic-themed train.
TOMY Big Loader!
Was that Junior o the winmill on the layout Duck was on?
Leo you should show off some of your Thomas collection at that train show. BTW great video
12:22 Those coaches should have been the Hornby Annie and Clarabel !
Great footage, leo!! Oh! The trains are so beautiful.. ^^
Nice! That's some fine-looking rolling stock. :)
I'm thinking of it more as a put away investment, I see loads of interest on railway forums about these trains, and also the huge problems in running them. It does not look like there is much low speed control.
I have a mega tomy thomas thingy, a bit broken but still usable
Thanks, I will go and have to have a look...mind you they may chase me out with a big stick if I appear there..!
that honrby steam mallard would be worth the cost if its discontinued I would snatch it up as fast I could
There are Oz companies and hobby shops which supply Oz rolling stock. It comes at a fairly high price..!
I would the overall demand for such model trains would be very limited compared to English, European and American model trains
yep, detail is where it's at on model railways, but it's also the thing which needs the greatest skill to pull off, not to mention a good amount of money....but hey it's worth it in the end
Omg I wish there was one in Texas
There probably is one
LongCrow Xx there's one in Plano that me and my uncle go to every year. It's not British trains though. But it's still fun. I get things there every year.
yes. live steam is quite amazing for such a small model. its very impressive. Now i would be astounded if they did this with N gauge engines. but im not sure whether we will see much more of the live steam.
If I had a Live Steam, I'd take it out thr bix and use it as intended
I used to have the hornby live steam locomotives and they were horrendously expensive. The never ran very well and were difficult to repair. :(
If I do buy it it will remain as mint in box, once it's been used once that MINT aspect is gone forever....and thats what's worth more than anything to a collector.
MAKE THOMAS MAD BOMBER 2! I've been waiting years to see the next episode!! Sorry for my rudeness, Leo, but please make the second one! people have been waiting 3 FRICKING YEARS just to see the next episode.
why..?
It's a fantastic way to promote a train show. i'm pretty sure St Lukes will be better off in years to come due to my videos about their train show, it's the best free advertising a train show can get.
would be cool to see you do more reviews on HO trains like the hornby live steam engine. =)
Nice video, like your relaxed but informative style. Have the same problems re copyright and music btw. So frustrating and time consuming!
you ever seen a 1/8 scale train before? don't know how big they are, they go up to your knees in height. also, movies where there were train crashes used the giant 1/8 scale trains instead of the real on screen one. Like the movie under siege 2 dark territory for example, the scene where the trains crash is here on youtube
_I wish I had a TOMY Duck._
me to
I have a Close-shave duck, but one of Duck’s wheels don’t even work anymore
Thats the BIG question, could I pull a bigger investment of the $1000 in 10, 20 years time when all this Live Steam stuff is much older.
Will Live Steam ever return...thats also another BIG question.
Remember I could put the $1000 in ING bank and pull around 6% interest ( subject to market changes )
every year the watermark gets bigger and bigger...it does not stop those stealing my video's as all they do is put their watermark over mine
real soon I will need to put a watermark across the middle of the video, and even that won't stop some......because of the stupid partner for all deal on youtube a ton of people are spending all day opening up channels and filling it with stolen content, it's possibly the easiest money ever
Mum can be seen in some of the Spider videos...but no one watches them
sadly the XPT is looking like a sad old fast train these days, here in Oz we can't run the 3801 but we can run the XPT into the ground..
Australia....going backwards real fast
The most awesome hobby! :)
He failed to get to the lake, he was trying to get there
quack.
man, I wish I cud go to this! I live in the US. I actually have a few n scale models, but no track unfortunately.
WOW, 1000 dollars, they are about 500 more here in the states, if you can even find them
I remember quite a few. Was it for the SNES, or PC? I had the one with a Carnival and another with repairing James.
hornby said live stram was to exspensive to make, so if we get another company to make it, live steam will remain
If I were there I would do multi track drifting
I just had a youtuber leave personal contact details here on this video....please do not leave this sort of info as it will cause all sorts of trouble, and is in essence spam
Love the coffee one
7:25 leokim s son actually ignores him and that makes me sad😕
nice video, tell in Australia are there any companies that make australian models, or do all the models cope with US and UK models, because apart from the XPT I didn't see any.
a few years ago a hobbytown usa store closed down and my uncle was given all the N scale stuff to give to me...I still have it all
hey leo me again XD but i have seen the hero of the rails wooden railway set in the toy r us pamphelt and when i turn the page i see a imagium version of it look like the same thing as the real one but for a good price of $29.99
At 10:27, the top, you will see a blue and white loco, I think that might be mine when my uncle went there!!
Cool!
no..but I want one bad
3:33 oh look its Rusty he sure is "Rusty"
*RimShot*
Probably *the freindly child* touching the tracks
Do you mean the green handheld grandstand console?
How's your garden train set coming along?
The green one that was my favorite one his name was the flying Scotsman
