The trouble with the Heljan Garratt is that most things are a friction fit like the side rods and the handrails. It's woefully put together with no quality control at all. I bought one and it's knackered with the driving wheel centres splitting and the spares are expensive, so into the bin it went. I wouldn't dare sell it online giving someone else a lot of grief for what looks like a great model but isn't.
Thanks for the video! The link isn't working unfortunately. I'm interested in the stone harbour walling here and only see piling walls on your website. Can you post the link please?
It really is quite impressive that the Mark Coach series has been going on for over 100 years 110 years to be exact. Ever since the Great Central Railway designed their Mark 0 Coach in 1910.
Thanks for sharing! It's good information that I feel can help just about anyone. I'm good with analog, single unit control. I didn't know anything about controlling more than just one unit on analog, or anything about dcc.
Many thanks. I learnt something. I've just bought 009 track and put it together and everything derailed and then I ran my finger along it and realised how badly I'd put it together. An issue solved! Cheers.
I may have a red one with them big letters on the side tho it wouldn’t hurt to get a second one . And it would only be fitting to get evening star … the diesel
Ohh ...I agree with your point on coal livery. I grew up by Cockenzie power station and during the timeline you mentioned it was 56's and 37's after the double headed 20's and 26's in blue or grey. Then of course suddenly mid '90s the mixed liveries of Transrail, Loadhaul, Mainline before EWS came along, eventually bringing 66's in.
All three would fit on my layout plan of 90s mgr. For 40 years I've been '00', but now seriously considering N for my mgr project replicating Cockenzie coal plant. Any tips on scale accuracy regards track length?
Both awesome locomotives. I do miss the water tender behind the Gresley pacific. BR said not allowed water tenders on mainline running. I have a water tender behind my OO scale peppercorn pacific aptly named TORNADO. They obviously had to be corridor tenders.
hello im from pakistan we still see these signals in some areas. kindly tell what it means when there is X shape on the signal and when O shape on the signals. i have also seen thoese type of semaphore signals having X and some has O on them. but these signals i usualy saw on big tailway stations or theoes stations whih has workshops too
speaking as someone who owns a GWR 2301 class in BR black it's a reliable locomotive and is great on the goods work as long as i run her on smooth level track.
Hello, how many excact minimal volts it could provide? 0.1, 0.2, or 1V? For coreless motor it is very important. It has halfwave like Duette or pure DC?
Class 53 Falcon carried the chestnut brown and lime green livery at first but was repainted British Rail blue in 1970. It retired in 1975 due to its non standard nature and on the grounds of cost.
Good video. Thanks! As a former SR fan from Farnborough, Hants on the Waterloo-West of England main line, I've recently purchased Hornby's 30863 Lord Rodney with some Maunsell coaches. Runs like a dream. I think it's worthwhile mentioning that Oliver Bulleid's (late 1930s) modifications produced a great improvement in their performance (according to O. S. Nock). They look more impressive too!
Watching this less than a fortnight after the fatal blow was dealt, I can't but feel bereft. Hattons was such a gem that it's encouraging to get news of former competitors coming to their senses and taking in ever more departments under their wings. I just hope that all the superb staff are found new homes too. Just one thing about the turntables here. I did want to see at least mentioned the wonderfully child ahem friendly water pipe that Hornby had by the wheelhouse so that little chaps could enjoy turning it round and seeing the whole turntable rotate too. Simpler times!
Help!!! i am looking for a part for my dads realtrack class 156. I believe it is called the power truck. were located in the USA which makes it harder lol. (its what holds the wheel to the locomotive) im new to model trains so any help would be fantasctic. Thank You

I bought an old Dapol model of Stepney from Hattons. I think it was used as it was long after the tooling was sold to Hornby. But before Hornby started making the Thomas version. Hattons shipped it here to me in the states. Too bad to hear they are closing.
I want a true coal burning/propelled ho scale locomotive. I know it would require constant replenishing and be messy....but how cool would it be to have a true identical working scale replica of an old locomotive? Thats what i want. And if i get rich i will make it real.
How your order gets to you It's parcelled up in a box which hardly protects the product, thrown in the back of a Fiesta and driven over every speed bump and pot hole in Widnes and then delivered to you. My last order arrived broken.
