Thank you very much, I must say being such a readily available product it makes sense as to why people use it. Is there a specific type you use as I’ve seen on forums people talking about factors like tobacco free oils etc to be less harmful to breathe in. More curious than anything else. I will get some oil off eBay made for the models myself. Cheers, Matthew
@@nickwhite6066No steam locos going for scrap these days in the UK, unless they’re being used as spares I guess which doesn’t really count. Kind of ironic given Lady of Legend is made from a butchered Hall class.. If you’re curious about where a loco going just google the number and look in the news (recommend RailAdvent) and it’ll generally pop up. Moves by rail require a mainline connection (obviously) and the locomotive to be mainline certified. Even if its not in steam it still requires a certificate to run on the mainline. And good luck with the first bridge you come to if you put them on a railway flatbed…
Lovely review and overhaul of this loco. I have the same unit but, she is a slow mover. This will eventually get a good cleaning. I too am curious to know what liquid is used to fill the smoke unit.
Hi there, thank you for watching the video, I am glad you enjoyed it. You should get proper fluid made for the triang engines which you’ll find on eBay, just search something like “triang smoke fluid” and plenty of options should come up. Hope that helps, Matt
Hello, I’m very glad to hear you enjoyed the video and thank you very much for subscribing, I hope you enjoy what you see! More content due to be released soon so keep your eyes peeled. Matthew
It definitely was a good event. The Ivatts are lovely to work on and like you say, suitable for most heritage lines. That was my view as a secondman on the sentinel! Thanks for watching, Matt
I know what you mean, however the main reason was that this was an engine that had gone its entire life of 35-40 years having never steamed. As it was early days it took a few steamings but I can tell you now that it’s a completely different engine in terms of performance nowadays. Runs very sweet indeed! I also do use oil from the manufacturer themselves. It was just at the time I didn’t have any! Take care and thanks for watching!
If this was once a model of MR 1000 as you suspect, then whoever converted it has also extended the frames at the front, as well as changing it from right to left hand drive. 1120 was built 1925 by the LMS at Horwich. Withdrawn June 1959. Don't have the shed allocation for that year, but in 1955 she was at Chester, 6A .Interesting that she received the 2nd version of the lion and wheel crest on the tender. Thanks for another interesting presentation.
Thank you very much for watching the video, I’m glad you enjoyed it. What I will note is newer models can have more details making it a bit harder to dismantle, all you need to do is be more careful but overall they are rather easy to dismantle. Cheers Matthew
@MapTheDragonRailways lol thanks for that. 99% of our trains are Dave's and certainly pre 1960ish. My two are second-hand and possibly between 1960 and 1980. I've only been into trains this past year or so but learning so much about it all.
@MapTheDragonRailways it took a good few years for me to appreciate that, and I've joined in my own way - more into research and finer detail work but we fit together really well doing it this way lol. Independent yet together ❤️
A lot of people seem to dislike calling model locos toys however I put it like this. Model railways started out as toys for children, then as time went on they got more detailed up to a point they are more aimed at adults as accurate scale models. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching
@@Aircraft_collection the one in the video would be more considered a scale model due to its fine detail and intricate parts. This model isn’t for children, just adult collectors.
@@HenrysAdventures always nice to see bahamas. Rode behind her at Keighley but she’s definitely better suited for the mainline where she can work hard. Thank you very much for subscribing, it’s greatly appreciated! Take care Matt
I sadly don’t have any express points to try that out. However I believe Sam’s trains has tested his Barclays on express points before if you wish to check on his channel. Apologies I can’t help there, Thanks for watching Matthew
@@MapTheDragonRailways Arh ok then I tend to run bigger locos so express points work better for that. How did it go when he tested it on them do you remember?
@@mattseymour8637 I’ve just taken a peep at both reviews and it stalled at slow speeds but if you had it going a bit faster it coped alright. Maybe a slight stutter. If you do go down a DCC route there’s always stay a lives!
@@MapTheDragonRailways Thanks for looking at the video and that doesn't sound too good as I like to run at slower speeds and from experience of my Peckett loco it runs like that too on my points so not sure want to take the risk.
It is surprising how loose it is being able to slide. A magnet system would be one way of holding it into place securely although that would increase cost. Having 2 of the containers would be good. Thanks for watching Matthew
