26:00 Such a big "Super failure" this "Super rescue" reference this was, very funny! Henry was supposed to save the diesels from breaking down. But just tried to push them off the railway-
I don't know about Meme's but you have earned this one! There was a young man called Sam, cheekily grinning in front of a cam, curving his rails tight, gave his Peckett such a fright and at Minus One Hornby said Goodnight!
In my experience, go for any train set made by Hornby as long as they are DCC ready (since if you go digital you'll be able to fit decoders into them easily, which you can't do with the basic 0-4-0 loco sets you'll also find). A quick search from me may reveal these sets to be good starters: The Flying Scotsman Master of the Glens Tornado Pullman Express East Coast express Flight of the Mallard
Hi Sam; Greatly enjoy your videos, and I've got to say, your comment on the tank's finish: "...the decoration doesn't look like decoration, it looks like some kind of fungal infection..." had me laughing for a good five minutes. And it's a comment I'm certainly gonna remember because it could be used to comment on oh so many things.. Quick change of Subject: What's the gradient of your hill where you test wagons and bogie stock for 'free-running'...? 1 in 200...? More? Less? Just curious., as I'm changing out wheelsets on some poor runners, and I figure having all the stock meet a 'minimum' standard would reduce problems a bit.
Hi Sam, interesting video. I Liked the tight curve experiment. What was that Airfix Royal Scot locomotive you have. Was it Royal Scot's Fusilier ? Thank you Sam 🐖🚄🚅
27:05 “I’m going to come apart!” said Henry. Then there was trouble. “Oliver the diesel, it seems you don’t know your own strength” said the Fat Controller.
Sam, as to the minimum radius per loco, sometime back in the 50's(IIRC), a reader of the USA magazine Model Railroader send them a photo of an Archimedean spiral he'd built in HO scale. I think it progressed from 32" radius all the way down to 4". He reported that a Varney 'Dockside' (an HO 0-4-0 Tank Engine with a wheelbase of perhaps one inch) "went all the way to the end and back out again." Might be interesting to build one around one of the roof 'props'...
I think one of the first things i would do with a model train layout would be a 50/50 split of watching it run and intentionally cause a massive train crash. Never thought you would be memed, that was a real surprise and keep up the good work.
4:19 I haven't serviced my hornby Thomas since I got it in 2008 still going strong

I've bought 3 of them Dapol Egg vans and put 10 ounce weight over each wheel axel, 20 ounce in total and had no derailment since. Got the idea from Sam's Trains.
Hi Sam using this vid to make contact,expat living in Belgium know nothing of model railways 🛤 but have had an interest since early childhood ,now recently retired, with a good budget would like to set up my own model railway ,after months of research into Hornby, Bachmann,etc,etc,have been advised to seriously consider Marklin ,completely confused, don't no what line to consider,can you help? Thanks .
9:28 I have actually seen someone put proper HO wheels on one of those cars (Specifically the covered hopper that says DANGER! on the side) so it is possible. Fun fact that same car appears to share the same mold as a car that bachmann offers. I think the same goes for the red cattle car but I'm not 100% sure.
Personally I would’ve used shoe polish to paint those wagons and i would like to be great friends with William he ideas of running session blows my mind😂 best series so far Sam 🙂
You should wire up an emergency stop button to your desk which cuts the power when you press it - just wire up a light switch to the input in your controller
Thank you! I get hundreds of comments every day at the moment, so it's impossible to respond to each one... I'm doing my best though, and your viewership is always much appreciated! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Thanks for another... Entertaining video. Off topic. Did you see the recent Guiness World Record set in Germany? They had a model train playing music with glasses of water. (In case anyone missed it, search Model Train Plays MUSIC - Guinness World Records)
Does anyone want to know anything about southern Greek steam locomotives. O_O Nope, ok :( Also congrats on 100k Sam :) . Road to 200k let’s go :D Edit: for anyone who wants info im going to write them on sams next video :)
