Not LMS livery - BR Maroon/crimson. Sorry, I'm an LMS guy. The noisy coach may be defective. If a lube doesn't fix it, get in touch with Hornby. They need to know that the quality is not up to scratch and hopefully, they will replace it for you.
I appreciate this was a quick temporary set-up, but see quite a few missed rail joints - watch out for that! Always assemble track on a hard flat surface not in mid air or on a soft surface.
Hi Allen. Congratulations - you appear to have received a loco that doesn't have a bit loose in the packaging (ah, you seem to have a different loose bit to many others)! In your test, did you use the controller that came with the set? If so, that's interesting because often there is a hum from the locos motor that doesn't occur with a better quality controller.
I didn't use the supplied controller. I used an H&M Duette. The buzzing sound caused by the supplied Hornby controller affects any kind of loco. So that's why I didn't use it!
The discussion about track radius is not correct because the TT track in the set is R3 not R1; the TT R1 is considerably tighter than that shown. I have the same issue with coaches in my set and also the whistle is upside down! Considering whether to continue with my TT experiment. Disappointing lack of QA from Hornby. I usually model US HO and not used to this kind of poor build quality.
The Triang TT track fits inside the TT:120 3rd radius track, so it must approximate to TT:120 2nd radius. I have not got any other radius Triang TT track to compare. I think the loco, coaches track and controller are fairly good for the price. Thanks for watching.
Yes! My video shows Windsor Castle going around with 3 Triang coaches at the end of the show. Unfortunately, the Sun came out during the take and the camera went out of focus!
The loco must have been tested at the factory prior to boxing and dispatch. It must have picked up the dirt from the test circuit at the factory! Thanks for watching.
@@AllensTrainsif that's the case, the factory should be cleaning their track. As for parts falling off, doesn't sound like good quality control. Not saying they are bad sets either.
It is not just one of the coaches - it is all of them! The wheels are scraping against the sole bar. I am not sending my Easterner Set back because the issue can be resolved using larger radius curves.; Thanks for watching.
At 7mins10secs check the tender brake blocks, one looks bent. Bent brake and other broken bit (is it loco brake rigging) are probably due to snagging on the track where its not joined correctly, check video at 5mins55secs.
I have examined the tender, and it is okay. The noise is being made by the coach wheels coming into contact with the sole bar. The noise occurs when you push the coaches along by hand. When you run the loco on its own you don't hear this noise. The noise does not occur on straight track or on the one piece of larger radius track supplied. Thanks for watching.

Simon's Shed has reported the same issue. I think it necessary to increase the width of the rolling stock bodies by 2mm. Thanks for watching.

Yes. I noticed I had done that! But I didn't have time for another take! Thanks for watchig.
4:46. BR maroon IS NOT LMS livery. BR Mk1's did not appear until '51, 3 years after nationalisation
You are correct. I have mislaid my reading glasses and am having to make do with an old pair!
Moin. Gibt es schöne TT - Packungen bei Euch in GB. Tiptop. Danke für'S Zeigen. Gruß aus Thüringen. Das ist mir gern ein ABO wert.

@@AllensTrains Very sensible!
Just been looking at these. it seems 2 versions. $ 525 and $ 665 at the local dealer .
West Australia.
DCC ready and DCC fitted?
@AllensTrains I have to find out . They look the same
@@chuckmaddison2924 The DCC decoder is fitted in the tender. There is no point paying the extra for this, unless you want DCC.
@AllensTrains Juat want basic system for kid . Nothing complex
@AllensTrains just looked one has a socket other is fitted.

Has anyone tried a Tri-ang TT gauge locomotive on Hornby TT track?
Yes! My video shows Windsor Castle going around with 3 Triang coaches at the end of the show. Unfortunately, the Sun came out during the take and the camera went out of focus!
How can the wheels get dirty on a brand new set so fast on a set you just opened and new track you put together?

@@PlatformONE For a complete train set for the £165.32 I paid with the Hornby TT:120 Club discount, you can't grumble!
One of your coaches seems to be making a lot of noise. My Scotsman set was crap and so I sent it back for a refund.
It is not just one of the coaches - it is all of them! The wheels are scraping against the sole bar. I am not sending my Easterner Set back because the issue can be resolved using larger radius curves.; Thanks for watching.
I so hope you play the guitar ....
I had a guitar, but I sold it to pay for my model railway exploits! I shall have to get another one on your recommendation! Thanks for watching.
that middle coach looks wobbly - not good enough for a hornby TT, get that rubbish back to margate.
I can't be bothered to send it back to Margate! Thanks for watching.

@@AllensTrains Apparently, this noise disappears when the track is properly pinned to a baseboard.
