I have just looked and they were part of a train pack and I have now sold it . I think the coaches are R826 Mk1 Composite First coach. I have a few gwr coaches for sale but not those specific ones .
Love the old Lima Lerino station. I still have my old 6042 black loco pickup goods set from 1974. Strangely the older wagons on your version look much nicer
That tank has nothing to do with Holden. Holden left the GWR 17 years before this loco was built. Originally, it used oil-firing "on the Holden system" (possibly using Holden's patent), but the Hornby model shows it after conversion to coal-firing. So: not Holden, just Churchward. (I thought Hornby had stopped calling it the Holden tank - maybe not.)
Hi there Tom, trust you are mighty fine, great video...I have a GWR similar set - although it was in a Christmas set box - it had the lowbed, 2 x express GWR coaches (4 wheelers) and GWR Single low flat wagon with GWR box on it and the brake van....do you perhaps know of this set - it is the Saddle tank set?
Nice Tom....these were the toys my late Father and Grandfather had as their train play time hobbies....and my late brother Gavin Lines....the toys are old and need tlc...once you get them going they be a bit alright (Remembering our Lines family accross the big ocean - Regards Elizabeth Lines)
What motor is this running on? If it’s the original 2 pole motor then I have a service guide for adjusting the commutators, tender body should just lift off Repaint is interesting too, if the blue was just a bit darker it could look like an LMR loco!
@@tomstrains-sy4tq like I said, I’ve got a service guide for the old 2 pole motors, I’ve posted it onto my community tab but I’ll happily repost it for you should you like to see it, often the issue is that the commutator arms aren’t aligned properly
Hi Tom. I have the very same loco and quite coincidentally was resurrecting it from almost 50 years of inactivity the day you published this video! It was a firm favourite of my dad & me. We'd watch it charge around our layout for hours. Happy memories. So yesterday it got its first run out for decades, and will now spend the rest of its days (or perhaps mine?) either having a gentle trundle around the current layout, or standing proudly in my display cabinet. Thanks for sharing your example.
I have the same model, which runs really well. I bought it because I wanted a FS as it was when it hit 100 mph (ie, in its original A1 guise). I also fitted some oval builders plates to the smoke box. It's a regular performer for me.
Remove the stiff bogie and gently with sandpaper sand where it is catching . I have a few Lima like this and a lot of them stick . I don’t know if it’s the temperature or humidity.
Ive just bought one of these, but, the drive wheel base is very stiff and it derails at every turn. Any ideas in how to fix this problem? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
