hi Bill, great video..i ave 2 Triang jinties made in 1967.good solid and reliable and easy to maintain,nowadays Bachmann is leading the way with jinties
Bill, the Hornby Jinty is a Railroad model. It is simpler mechanically and less detailed than the Bachmann. Its also not DCC ready though your layout is DC and so its less of an issue. The Hornby model will be a lot cheaper as well.

I'm kinda new to model railways, maintenance of my locomotive is an area I'm not 100% on yet learning loads from your videos. Thank you for doing these videos Bill
I have the Bachmann Jinty in early British Railways livery. Sam's Trains did a review a while back listing its many shortcomings. However mine has been super reliable for the past 5 years and I love it to bits.
I'm a big fan of Bachmann's 0-6-0 Chassis that they use for the Jinty and Pannier tanks. I'd go with the Bachmann Jinty personally. Not sure if you'll do DCC at all but the older models without DCC readiness are usually available for good prices.
I have an early Hornby one with a X04 motor, runs like a dream, and a heck of a lot easier to open up for maintenance, only one screw, straight down the chimney.
As an LMS man, I have a bunch of Jinties, as they were one of the most commonly used locos on the LMS, both for freight and passenger duties. The Bachmann model that you serviced there would be the most detailed and accurate. On the downside, they can be a little temperamental, I find... but then, you're good at servicing things. The Hornby Jinties are fine also, and I wouldn't be without mine. They're not quite so accurate, but they're good, solid, dependable locos. The Hornby model hasn't evolved much, other than updated motors, and both older and newer motors have worked ok for me.
Hi Bill good interesting video as usual, my favourite jinty is the Hornby SDJR version for the best all rounder, ie looks and good running capability. Cheers Tim Knight NZ
Hi Bill..another great video 👍🏻..I’ve a few Bachmann Jintys and having had a hornby example to I’ve found Bachmann to be a better quality build..although I suppose it’s personal preference really
I actually have that Hornby Railroad LMS Maroon Jinty in the cabinet! Very good runner, looks the part at any distance, although I do believe they are falsely advertised as being DDC ready. They're not, the only DCC Fitted Hornby Type M 0-6-0s come with the train sets I reckon. Highly recommend it if you want it.
Great video Bill, I would recommend getting the Bachmann version. How about the LMS Maroon Jinty No.16440? There are two left in stock at Olivia's Trains. I have one too.
Quite a difference between Bachmann and Hornby on jinties . The Hornby one dates from 1978 . It’s ok but is definitely a Railroad model now . The Bachmann one is more detailed and runs better . Red ones aren’t authentic . There is a Hornby one with 16xxx number based on a preserved red one , but it’s not a colour they wore in LMS days . I think Bachmann released a Collectors Club special of this same loco , but very scarce and probably expensive. Before then there are the Tri-ang Hornby but these are really past it now .
I have models of both the Hornby and Bachmann locos, and feel that the Bachmann is the better from a detail point of view, as the Hornby one is a much "older" design, but it is a good runner!
I don't about best but I've got the Hornby S&DJR Jinty which IMHO is the best liveried Jinty. I got mine very cheaply as a non-runner. It turned out that the connecting rods had been put on wrong and stopped the wheels turning. It may have been a factory error as there was no sign of usage on the wheels.
As others have said, the Bachmann version is the more detailed but, I wouldn't mind betting that the Hornby one will run for many years longer with fewer problems.
With the grinding noise it was making at the start I was mentally shouting at the screen “turn it off you’re hurting it”! It was like fingernails on a blackboard to my ears. Love these videos. Your layout is looking smashing too.
Sorry I can't help the the best Class 3 Jinty loco. I have been giving some of emlocos a run round my layout. Sadly I seem to have accidently cause one of the two motors in my Heljan LMS Beyer Garratt loco to burn out! Not sure what to do with it at this stage! I'll try and check out replacement motors for the things. But I would just add that the Bachmann Jinty is the newer and perhaps better detailed model, wether it is better in the long run then the Hornby model I could not say.
I've bought several railroad jinties recently for conversion to other classes. The running of these varies from silky smooth to absolutely terrible and with so many variations in chassis design it is really luck of the draw. I did get a nice running J83 (68472 in BR apple green) which is the same chassis as the jinty but might be a better fit with your other Scottish locos
Hi Mike. I can see you're relatively new to this channel. If you click on 'more' under this video's title (or, for that matter, any other title on this channel), you'll see a couple of links, one of which refers to 'FAQ'. You'll find all the answers you seek on the 'FAQ' link. Good luck, Paul. 👍
