Hornby's Sir Ralph Wedgwood A4 set, is it better than my Bachmann A4 Set? 

Fascinating A4?, A4's History and Collectors set. I find this set hard to pass up and I can easily see it running in the McKinley Club time-lapse series. As always well done. Beautiful examples of OO scale models from the past.

Nice set Matt. One interesting piece of research I've just done. 27.56 according to an online inflation etc calculator in 1994, is now worth just under 69 quid. Highlights the absolutely ludicrous prices Hornby ask for poor products today.

A few of the A4s had the yellow stripe applied so that they werent able to run under the wires on electrified lines around the West Coast Mainline

Spooky was looking up the Ralph Wedgwood Friday 😱😱.great to see 👀you got vfm and pleased with set.

A stunning models of Sir Ralph Wedgood

Three different locos is a huge improvement on the 10 year old mirror image set with different name tags Matt. They look good and run welll. Great for anyone's collection. 👍 Happy modelling

Thanks Matt - great review of a really collectible set. There is a set for sale locally equivalent to £300.

After the Air Raid, the Tender was not that badly damaged. So it was repaired and then ran behind Bittern. A nice set. I like the A4s. Only 2 of them are Loco driven. Martin. (Thailand)

My 1960 Hornby Dublo loco hauls better than any new plastic model.

Very interesting video, most informative. I found it particularly interesting as my A4 is a Hornby TTS sound Railroad ‘Gadwall’. I think I need the wartime 4469 ‘Sir Ralph Wedgewood’.

Back when Hornby made models actually worth collecting, now it's just Beatles toys.

I remember seeing "Dominion of Canada" at Newcastle quite a few years ago but it was really Bittern in one other numerous guises. By the way its GADWALL

Lovely set of hornby a4s thank u for showing them

the alloy gear in the middle I suggest replacing with brass as the alloy gear slips, and oil both sides of the motor bearing :)

Nice video! Please be aware though the two differing levels of volume between the music and speaking parts of your excellent video. If your using in ear pieces when watching, this can be very unpleasant! I love your collection of collectables. Thanks!

I'd wrap the locks in an acid free tissue paper, when that foam eventually goes off it can be pretty ugly😖

I always thought that Sir Ralph Wedgwood was Chief Mechanical Engineer but what do I know?!

price on the box has to have been a second hand item , full price would be double that in 94
