    A proper DMU, and Hornby have done a great job here! Used to go on the real things to school from Solihull to Warwick (and back, 1980-1981) when the Tyseley-allocated ones dropped instead of the Derby Works suburban ones. Preferred the 101s by far, and occasionally a Cravens one would turn up as part of a hybrid set. Odd one out in the running session? The 2-HAL.

    Fun fact: The BR Class 101 with the green livery is the basis for Daisy The Diesel Railcar in Thomas & Friends. She is pretty sassy in the show which is quite entertaining to watch! The Rev Awdry's model of Daisy is made from a Triang Class 101 and was repainted in the late 60's to have a yellow panel at each end

    Fair review Sam. I think this model was a updated version of the older Lima model and was in a period where Hornby had purchased Lima and had started to add some of their products into the hornby range, but updated the details and motor to make them look more impressive and perform better. Unfortunaley lights and super detailing has only been a recent as 2010 due to DCC users. Some of the items in the railroad range we see today are old Lima items with slightly better detail like the hornby class 121 (the one you couldn't remember the name of).

    Hi Sam, you've pretty much got the thing about the couplings spot on. The 101 and the 121 Bubble Car were originally Lima models which Hornby inherited. These models would of used the standard 'pancake' motor that we all know and love. When Hornby re-released the 121 and 101 with upgraded skew-wound motors, they would of had to redesign the skirt around the motor bogie. My guess is that they redesigned the molding to have the NEM pockets for the 121. As the 121 and the 101 have the same bogies, it made sense to use the retooled bogie skirt on the 101 as well. This explains why the motor unit has detachable couplings and the other units still have the much thicker and chunkier molded Lima tension locks. Hope this helps!

    An asome review Sam, good to see another DMU. The 101 train (Daisy from Thomas an Friends!) was a very nice pack, with a great perfomance, a proper quality, and the detail was very good. Even if doesn't have the best detailing is still good and impressive to be from 2006. It is enteresting that there are a mix between the Railroad and Railways range, but I guess is due to the age of the set. And overall, it is good for what it is, and the value was worth in my opinion. Anyways, thanks for the attention, and I'll see you next time.

  • @Steamjammer
    @Steamjammer 5 років тому

    How interesting. It looks a bit like an older tooling that has had a partial upgrade/refresh (maybe done with a limited or minimal budget), the rather eclectic mix of NEM/non-NEM couplings and painted underframe moulding might suggest this. Hornby certainly have form for inexplicable couplings, I'm sure that I remember seeing a RailRoad A4 that was sold with a narrow tension lock NEM coupling on the front of the loco and a moulded-on wide tension lock on the tender.

    • @SamsTrains
      @SamsTrains  5 років тому

      Yes, you're absolutely right - it turns out this is an old Lima model that Hornby updated! Yes indeed - they certainly have done a fair bit of that, haha!

  • @james.m.evans.
    @james.m.evans. 5 років тому

    The couplings are the way they are because this model is a retool of a lima DMU. They kept the two non powered cars the same hence the different shaped tension locks. The reason the Loco has NEM couplings is that they had to redesign the drive system, as you said with the inclusion of more pickups. They could then use the same clip on piece from the motor bogie for the non motorised one, saving money.

    Hey Sam. If you can find one online, have a look at the old Lima 101 DMU. Hornby bought Lima in 2004 and they used a lot of the old Lima moulds. I suspect your Hornby DMU is the same tooling as the Lima version (that had pretty good windows too), but with new swapped out bogies on the drive unit.

  • @montyburns56
    @montyburns56 5 років тому

    As you suggested in the video, I suspect the reason why only the motorized coach has the NEM couplings is that Hornby generally re-designed/re-tooled the motor bogies (Lima power units were pretty rubbish!) when they re-released the Lima models, but probably didn't think it was worth bothering with for the unpowered coaches.

    • @SamsTrains

  • @TrainFan_95
    @TrainFan_95 5 років тому

    Although the Hornby-branded version of this DMU came out in 2006, it is actually an old Lima tooling, probably from the 1980s. After Lima went bust in 2004, Hornby bought them and so inherited all the toolings. A lot of the less-detailed models in the Hornby range today (such as their class 66) are ex-Lima items.

    • @SamsTrains
      @SamsTrains  5 років тому +1

    Lovely DMU, have you ever considered buying the Bachmann version? From what I've seen, they have working lights, an electrical connection between the units and can be bought for around £130 brand new, which is not bad considering how great it looks and runs. My local model shop has a DCC ready one for sale for £127.50.

    Sam, this class 101 dates much older than 2006. 2006 is when Hornby took over the old Lima range and re-released this model, which dates back much further into the 1990's. It was one of Limas better models, which is probably why it was one of the earlier models to reappear in Hornbys range.

    If I'm correct, I spotted three other DMUs. The odd one out is the GWR Railcar. Your green one-car DMU looks a bit like a Wickham car, yet I'm not sure what it is either. You can show DMUs all you want, including the Janus, 04 and 08 shunters. But not those ugly boxes on wheels. I sniff and and sneer at all diesels, plus I hate them with a vengence. I can tolerate DMUs and shunters equally; they're not quite so bad and just as useful as steam engines. Make no mistake.

    But this 'OO nutter' has No Idea what that 3rd mystery coach/DMU is either..!
    So No Screaming at Screen from me. ( And I doubt if you would hear it from Adelaide anyhow..!)
    I am looking at buying a DMU for my Collection.
    So before I bid, I refer to SAM for his un bias opinion, before Bidding/Buying a 2nd Hand Hornby DMU.
    You posted this years ago but still worth Checking out Sams Opinion.
    And as for 'Screaming'
    I doubt if your still listening out for it Now anyway..!
    Thanks for your Efforts, it Does help us 'On a Budget Buyers..!' Even years down the Track..!! ("Boom Tish")

    Nice little thing. One thing came into my mind when watching, are you using a new / different camera? Just noticed some different characteristics from the camera. The Bachman 101 has lights in and from memory its approx £125 (But if anything I think it's cheaper). Thanks

    • @SamsTrains
      @SamsTrains  5 років тому +1

      Hey, thanks mate! No it's the same camera, just new lights - I'm used to them now, but this was the first one I recorded with them - just takes some getting used to! Yes the Bachmann 101 does look superior, that's true!

    Hey Sam, you should try to review the Bachmann HOn30 Skarloey and/or Rheneas models, sometime. I understand if you wouldn't want to, however, since they are quite expensive, for their size, and since they're not 00 or 0 gauge. Just an idea! By the way, I love your videos! I'm getting into starting my own model railway, now that thankfully I have a decent paying job.
    EDIT:
    Maybe, since I'm planning on ordering one of them for my birthday this year, maybe I could lend it out to you, for the video. If you want, please feel free to contact me, if you would want to do that.

    • @SamsTrains

    I have a few coaches now with close couplings as they have NEM pockets or needed to add couplings as someone had cut off 1 or more on one end, I even got more Hornby close couplings in MIB models Porthcawl for just £3.25, they are £7.40 I believe on the Hornby site so I got a bargain, also that is a 121 Hornby DMU, dapol also make a 122 version as well as 121 versions, but their ones are way too dear for my liking, prehaps hornby could make a railroad 121 DMU Arriva wales livery one?

    I'm faiirly sure this is an ex Lima model, certainly the high body on the bogies suggests that. I would guess the motor coach is new compared to the other two but again almost "Tweaked" Lima so that's probably why there are NEM couplers on the motor coach and not the others.
