model railway channel, for OO Gauge, Tri-ang , Hornby, Lima, Joufe, filmed on my shed layout , with updates, and features. I specialise in model railway video's sometimes set to music. Sometimes not.
I don't deal in Hornby anymore. Not for a time. The build those crappy Hitachi 800 ugly Azuma's class. I prefer my Athearns GP 40-2 Rocky Mountaineer loco. I also deal in Atlas & Kato American stuff! Much better than the British stuff.
In my experience, you don't need the sponge behind the plastic. Just keep it under slight compression at the ends so it pops up just above rail level. It'll be enough to lift the hooks without risk of derailment etc. when travelling forward. This also works for the "hook and loop" style continental couplers.
Great video bi have the same train and I personally think there beautiful and brilliant and they run so well. Good luck with your trains sending regards from London
I like the way your tension lock couplings make the sound of wind chimes when travelling over the uncouplers, you are dead clever coming up with that design,
How affordable were the prices mentioned at the time? Despite Lima having a bigger range of modern image trains, they never advertised! Those adverts are a nice reminder if yesteryear.
I would get the catalog but never bought any trains as a kid. Looked for Cuneo mouse on the cover. £5 for a basic layout was like a weeks wage in the 1960's. My "2/6" went on Airfix kits. Time when i would cycle to the model shop.
Hi Mark,..Found this by luck as always and a joy to behold....Great idea between the two layouts..Nice to see yours up and running again...Hope all is well...We are down with Covid....Got So much to tell thee !!! ....Cheers...Ade
Well, well, well, Mark, what a refreshing change. Just came across your video and really loved your 'no nonsense', attitude to railway modelling. Good old fashioned 'spit and polish' way of thinking. I'm impressed with your homemade uncouplers. Thankfully I haven't ballasted my sidings yet, so I'm going to experiment with your cost effective idea and attempt to make some. Am I right in thinking that you have to have room to move the load backward beyond the uncoupler, when connecting, before bringing them out?? Keep on shunting pal, cheers, Rick the Bulldog.
As a Yank, I really enjoyed peering into the British history of model trains via these vintage commercials. Seems like the fun and nostalgia of model trains spans oceans and borders!
i have great difficulty knowing where my stick is each morning mark,and am always confused....lovely to see.....hope all`s well.....just found this video by accident again.....ade
Hi Ade all is well here. As I said he's a wonderful friend, he's just not very good at being a Dog, he doesn't beg either. And balls are a mystery to him, but for all his faults he's one hell of a friend. cheers old pal I hope you are doing well.
Great to see Archie enjoying himself, Chester my dog loves balls either chasing them and bringing them back or finding balls other dogs have lost and on a couple of occasions stealing them. Lovely video. Cheers Grahame
Thanks Grahame, Archie has no idea what a ball is for, the last one he had, he chewed till it split in two, However on his walks he likes sticks best, and he has also murdered many leaves, cheers Mark
Hi Mark, hope you had a great Christmas, certainly a colourful train, did the loco start life as a Hornby Ivatt class 2mt?, just liked and subbed, anyway, Happy New Year, stay safe, all the best from (North-East) Scotland, Stephen, p.s. my club will be at Modelrail Scotland in Glasgow, if you are there, hopefully we'll be able to have a chat, (fingers crossed it goes ahead).
'Brilliant!'. Hope you have a good Christmas, when if comes, providing worzel doesn't cancell it. Will you be making further videos in the new year? Regards Nigel
Thank you for posting this video, Mark. It is a brilliant concept and very well presented. The first time I have ever seen a 'Santa Special' train on a model railway. They are fairly normal occurrences on Heritage Railways of course but yours is really Special. What an amazing idea! Hoping you have a Blessed and enjoyable Christmas and an excellent Hogmanay to follow. All the very best to you and yours. Thanks again. Bob.
Hi Mark, great video i hope YOU JANE, & family are well give Archie a pat on the head from me stay safe all the best for Christmas & New Year TONY [ GRIFFIN STATION ]
