I have recently purchased a Dapol pannier tank engine in O gauge and just love it. I got it shipped to me from Hattons in the UK to here in the US. Love these videos Lawrie keep them coming! 🚂
I always have a soft spot for Jintys My first proper model (not a Hornby 0-4-0) was a Bachmann Jinty from my grandfather, since I don’t have a very large railway for it to run on, it now acts as station pilot for Valentine St. on my grandfather’s railway. Brilliant model in OO gauge let alone in O gauge! Brilliant video as usual!
What a loveley engine, also nothing wrong with a small layout. shunting allows for a lot of play and variations to do. Although since Its a very small layout you could use a very small engine. I would reccomend for the size of the layout the Dapol O gauge 0-4-0 Sentinal shunter so you could get much more on to the layout. very good video as always!
Lawrie's Mechanical Marvels and the guy called Sam’s trains on UA-cam is pretty good too with the OO and O gauge stuff. As a model railroader/ railway the o gauge stuff is amazing and looks to run like a dream. Keep up the great work I really enjoy you all’s content.
Now, I might have got the wrong end of the stick here Lawrie, but I have the impression you’re pleased with it? ;) I’m looking forward to getting home where my new O gauge Sentinel is waiting for me 😁
British O is such a different flavor to US O but it is so satisfying to watch! The Jinty looks great, a very solidly big shunter for such a layout - The size contrast is much better appreciated in this scale
Laurie, I enjoy your "Little Loco" videos as much as the others that you do. I have a 12'-6" x 2', "0" gauge shunting, "Preservation" layout. As beautiful as you think your "Jinty" is, I would still complain about the missing handrail. You have paid for it and it will finish the loco off. Alan
I know this video is about model trains but my favourite part of the layout is the brown truck, I'd be happy with just that on a plinth.....now I'll go sit in the corner haha!
I bought a brass kit of the LNER J68 "BuckJumper". Just finished it in LNER unlined black, I tried to join your Discord channel to show how it looks. but sadly the invite had expired.
Was the smokebox door handrail loose in the box or just missing altogether? Either way, for the price of these new models, a little bit of QC from Dapol wouldn't go amiss. Still, it is a stunning model. Hope you have many happy hours shunting with it.
I do like 0 gauge locomotives coming out but I am more excited about the 009 scale narrow gauge locomotives and rolling stock coming out as I love narrow gauge railways as much as standard gauge railways.
Hello Lawrie if you ever up in the midlands telford area i have a 0 gauge layout with 15 engines working signals if you like to do a review you be most welcome to keep up the good work on the videos they help me during lockdown plus i'm a huge fan of the channel. Stay safe and god bless you and the team
All nine Dapol o guage models I have bought recently had faults of varying degrees from broken parts, missing parts, loose and/or popped out windows right up to a driving wheel completely off of the axle on the 57XX. Being a long term modeller and engineer I undertook to sort the problems out myself rather than. return the items for replacements especially as a few of them were sale items and replacements weren't available. I suppose I am undermining my argument by not returning the items and therefore alerting Dapol to there rather lax QA department. I will purchase further items from the Dapol o gauge range as they are simply the only game in town with some ready to run locos at a reasonable price range. It's just that I know there will be things for me to fix when they are delivered. Perhaps I've just been unlucky but nine out of nine? 🤔
Silly question, could you do a video on some of the differences between A4, 3F, and any other numbers? Or Class numbers? :-) I do like these Lawrie Goes A Little Loco's! I never had a model railway, but I was always more into cars, and lorries anyway! :-) Stay safe! :-)
Don't know if this will help at all, but here it goes. :) In the case of the A4, that's just the name of its class, like the LMS 1000, the LNER B12, or the USATC S160. Basically; what all members of that class are known as. When it comes to 0F through 9F and 0P through 8P, those are power classifications. F and P representing "Freight" and "Passenger", with 0 being the least powerful, and 8/9 being the most powerful. Sometimes locomotives were named after their power classification, like the magnificent S&DJR 7F, the LMS 4F, or the LMS 3F "Jinty" seen here.
Hi Laurie,just finished watching your video of dapol jinty on scolecould you please let me know the dimensions of scole,as I am moving up to o gauge. Regards Alan Toulcher.
Nice model. Was that on pure DC or pulsed? Surely a DCC decoder would allow even slower speed. And with sound, it would be even better (especially on small layout)
@@lmm Pure DC isn't always that good. I have recently corrected my heskethscalemodels O&K MD2 in Oe16.5, and the small Mashima motor didn't turn alone below 3 V, with the transmission, it wasn't really working below 6V, which was already a good speed even with the big transmission. But with the DCC decoder, it crawl very slowly.
Hi Lawrie. I have been following your channel for some time and enjoy it. But this series has me beat. As soon as you start dabbling with toy trains, you start to use the railway modellers favorite word "Prototypical". They all do it, and it drives me crazy. In this episode, you actually say "STEREOTYPICAL". What kind of f@cking word is that? If you look up the word "Prototypical" in a dictionary, it says that it "Represents the earliest iteration" of a particular object. But all of the toy train enthusiasts bandy it around as representing the subject throughout its existance. It's getting so I can't even hear the word "Prototype" without shuddering and wondering what is going to be tacked on the end. For Christ's sake stop using that word! It's wrong! I'm off to get some medication, and in the interests of full disclosure, I have disliked this video. Cheers!
I really adore these 'little loco' series. Though I'm not in the hobby any more, Ive a fond place in my heartbox for model railways.
Heartbox wut¿

Hi Lawrie. mine works outside for 7 hours at a time and is serviced once a year. Caroline
As I model mostly American railroads I do have a soft spot for British tank locomotives and narrow gauge.
We did make some very pretty engines
Lawrie's Mechanical Marvels and the guy called Sam’s trains on UA-cam is pretty good too with the OO and O gauge stuff. As a model railroader/ railway the o gauge stuff is amazing and looks to run like a dream. Keep up the great work I really enjoy you all’s content.
This video is a joy to watch! Such enthusiasm! That tiny layout has given me some ideas too, cheers!
Oh yes!! Brilliant choice of locomotive!

Glad your enjoying it matey. Nice to see it finally being used. Enjoy it
It's super - been a long time coming 😂

Enjoying all of the model train videos very much!! Thank you!!! 🏆🥇🚂
Jinteh!!
Puhg
I know this video is about model trains but my favourite part of the layout is the brown truck, I'd be happy with just that on a plinth.....now I'll go sit in the corner haha!
I take it you're quite pleased then Laurie? So many superlatives! Happy new locomotive.
One of these would go very nicely with my Hornby OO Jinty and the 7 1/4" gauge live steam one I'm trying to build!
Get yourself scanned and 3d print a mini Laurie to be driver. It's not even super expensive to do.
Just a idea for you, get a 4 wheeled push/ pull carriage for the jinity to work and wissington can do goods trains
That would be quite nice, have to be something small though!
Could you do a Lawrie goes loco on the full size jinty. Keep up the great videos
I would try a14xx
Charming layout, locos and stock👍😊 How big is the layout, especially the scenic section?🤔👍
Did you buy it new, if so get on to Dapol or retailer for the smokebox door handle to be replaced, it should be there.
I bought a brass kit of the LNER J68 "BuckJumper". Just finished it in LNER unlined black, I tried to join your Discord channel to show how it looks. but sadly the invite had expired.

Nice, but your missing the handrail on the smokebox door
Yeap, since recording I have a replacement
Who doesn't love a Jinty and that's a beauty. Many thanks Lawrie.
I'd love one of these. But it would have to be 47606 😉
Enjoy it mate👍
Wow! Fantastic locomotive
NICE
The engine looks stunning, especially on that layout, I only wish it had somewhere else to go, that would be stunning to watch
I do like 0 gauge locomotives coming out but I am more excited about the 009 scale narrow gauge locomotives and rolling stock coming out as I love narrow gauge railways as much as standard gauge railways.
Sams trains has a dapol jinty
He's got a lot of stuff.
Hello Lawrie if you ever up in the midlands telford area i have a 0 gauge layout with 15 engines working signals if you like to do a review you be most welcome to keep up the good work on the videos they help me during lockdown plus i'm a huge fan of the channel.

That sounds amazing!

All of mine have had detail parts fall off. And one sentinel I had to return as it just didn't run
they were also used in Ireland by the NCC, wonder if they're lettered for the NCC?
You can pre-order an NCC one now.
Got the NCC version today from Rails for £125 Many thanks for the video. Rob
Yay
You should build an outdoor o scale railway
No that hole in the tank is a hamster hole duhhhh
Silly question, could you do a video on some of the differences between A4, 3F, and any other numbers? Or Class numbers? :-)

They're completely different forms of classification.
You just need to put a smoke generator into the model and maybe a sound chip
Have you ever thought of going to the North Yorkshire moors railway
Hi Laurie,just finished watching your video of dapol jinty on scolecould you please let me know the dimensions of scole,as I am moving up to o gauge. Regards Alan Toulcher.
I think its episode 9, correct me if i am wrong
Almost similar to an LB&SCR Billington E2 loco.
Neat :)
Nice model. Was that on pure DC or pulsed? Surely a DCC decoder would allow even slower speed. And with sound, it would be even better (especially on small layout)
Pure DC. I've not dabbled in DCC yet
@@lmm Pure DC isn't always that good. I have recently corrected my heskethscalemodels O&K MD2 in Oe16.5, and the small Mashima motor didn't turn alone below 3 V, with the transmission, it wasn't really working below 6V, which was already a good speed even with the big transmission. But with the DCC decoder, it crawl very slowly.
Needs a crew. Looks more perfect.
I have a 3.5" Gauge Jinty. Live Steam
Oh very nice!
almost missed it
thank you
Hope you invest in some O scale crew.
It should have a coal load.
It'll get some at some point
But, did you really like it? 😁
Well, it's alright 😂
Lawrie is it possible to buy reassurance built O gauge layouts
I meant ready built layouts
What track do you use? Can you give me the item number for the point ?
what controller do you use 12v or 24v new to o gauge
12 volt. It's the same as oo
@@lmm thanks for the quick replay👍
reply
Are you going to build a layout ?
Episode 9 if you didn’t remember
The thumbnail confused me I thought it was a LGL episode oops...
I have the same loco and it is a plastic piece of crap, the worst O gauge loco I have.
