My favorite 4-4-0 type (in real life anyway) is the PRR D16 class. They got used a lot I believe even up to the end of steam on the Pennsy. One is on display at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania in Strasburg, PA.

Wonderful. The British steamloco liveries have always been profoundly impressive and a joy to the eyes. They are so extensively detailed that it must have been a nightmare to keep them clean somewhat. The German locos where just black with red wheels, red frame and red painted running plate. Many British steamers were truly something else. My absolute favorites are SR designs bulleid Pacifics in streamlined form.

@ivovanzon164 3 года назад
Most German locomotives are indeed red-and-black, but there are exceptions... The baureihe 61 was cream and purple The 18 201 high speed locomotive was painted in red before it was changed to green again. The class 05 was red, as was the case with a few streamlined 03's Before they decided on red and black the early DRG scheme was olive green, with black smokebox and brownish red wheels.

I agree, if steam engines were bought back, I'd expect them to look like an Bulleid SR air smoothed design. They are timeless (still look modern).

4-4-0s are my favourite locos by a fair margin. Some of the best in my eyes would be the likes of the Furness K2 Larger Seagulls and the GNRI S, Q and Vs Classes. Unfortunately, there aren't any RTR models of these, but kits do exist of some of them, so it's something.

Sweet video Sam. Given it's been years since I last did railway modelling, the video has brought back memories of a railway gala which had plenty of experience of this wheel arrangement. Back in 2009 the Llangollen Railway had a 4-4-0 day as part of their 9-day Steel Steam & Stars gala & I travelled behind all 3 4-4-0 guests rostered for the days service: the Bo'ness Railway's LNER D49 No.246 Morayshire from Llangollen to Carrog, the NRM's GWR No.3440 City of Truro from Carrog to Glyndyfrdwy (a steam rally at Glyndyfrdwy prompting the end of too short a ride) & the Bluebell Railway's GWR Dukedog No.9017 (freshly turned out for the gala in BR black) back to Llangollen 😊 If I was to choose from these models, I would go for the GWR City but only downer: shame you did this before the SECR D37 review 😝

A google image search for the term Victorian steam locomotive shows a favourite of mine. The Victorian Railways AA 4-4-0 of 1900. Thirty years ago there were brochures issued for an expensive brass model of this, but there was more demand for larger steam types. However one new local maker, who I have helped out in the past, have made progress on this, but possibly without knowing it. This is due to the tender they are working on for another locomotive being shared among several classes.

The problem with the Claude to be made in GER blue livery is that the current Hornby model is in LNER rebuilt condition that was years after the GER blue era. A complete body re tooling to provide the GER cab, Belpair boiler of smaller diameter that may require a new mechanism then the valances around the wheels. So not so simple as a re paint if accuracy is required. If accuracy is not required get out your spray cans.

Quite the interesting list, and a great honourable mention of the Dapol D Class in the description! I have to admit that my personal bias lies with the Bachmann Branch-Line City Class, "City of Truro", but, then again, it is the only 4-4-0 locomotive that I own in OO Scale. This makes me curious, and I must ask- Have you ever done a Top Five/Ten Pacific Locomotives list? I reckon you would have quite the running in figuring out which locomotives go where, and who claims the top spot.

I'm not so fussed on the pre-grouping liveries and my favourites are pretty much the ones I own, the Southern L1 ( my first ever from 1972), the LMS 2P, love the red-lined black livery) and Schools class (the latter is a pain to put on the tracks and the packaging is stupid as you showed in one of your reviews, but it helped swapping the drawbar round). 4-6-0 is probably my favourite wheel configuration.

4-4-0 locos are such nice looking things, just the right wheel configuration to have a decent look. Do you know there were British built 0-4-0s that operated in Japan? Would love to see some of those in RTR, probably not enough interest to justify tooling those.
@wellsworthflyer2924
@wellsworthflyer2924 3 года назад
Out of those five, I think I'd have to say my favourite is the T9, I love the LSWR locomotives, and I hope we see more oo gauge models of engines such as the T6, in the future. As for overall favourites, I think, with a name like mine, it would be weird if I didn't mention the Furness Railway K2 class. I would like to see a model of that, as well as the GNoSR "Gordon Highlander," which became the LNER D40, in later years. I am in love with my Bahmann Midland Compound. The detail is superb, it's a smooth runner, and it looks good hauling anything. I've had mine moving freight around, at the time I'm writing this comment. I might change it soon, to a slower passenger haul.

The GWR Armstrong class 4-4-0 would be a strong contender for the best looking of the type. No mass market models yet, but would loved to be surprised by one being sprung onto the market. No preserved example survived so a scanning excercise could not be made but that would keep the development more secret. Designed by Dean so could be considered a development of the Dean singles. Lack of a preserved one did not stop Hornby with the Claude and Dean singles etc.

Why oh why has Hornby not produced a Claud in its famous GER blue livery? That would surely sell in quantity as it's beautiful and famous. Indeed, why is the GER so poorly served generally by manufacturers? I will always have a soft spot for the T9 as it was my late father's favourite loco from his trainspotting days round Bournemouth in the 1940s and together we built one from a Wills kit in the 1970s.

@johnd8892
@johnd8892 3 года назад
Lots of love for 4-4-0s despite the pulling power issues from light weight on drivers and balance problems leading to common use of traction tyres and their replacement involving taking crankpins off and on. Surprising but understandable the the international sign for a level crossing is the outline of a 4-4-0 smoking. Diesel and electric design outlines too box-like and varied to be universally quckly recognised as a train by the public. Same with the Monopoly board.

Sam - excellent, yet .... I'm disappointed!! No Hornby Schools - the non Railroad is excellent, and a superb runner as well. No Bachmann Midland Compound - pistols at dawn for that oversight!! Entertaining video and thanks for sharing. Al.

Agreed, but we all have different opinions and maybe Sam has them as 6th and 7th or something…

@Sam’s Trains 4-4-0 are called “American” type because this type was more common in America than in any other country in the world. Some of the 4-4-0s are among the most popular in the world both irl and in many forms of media.

You should do a running session with the number 1 locomotives of each year and compare them to find the ultimate locomotive so far.

😱 No Bachmann NRM Midland compound 1000, or Hornby Schools Class ? Wish someone would made a new SDJR 2P.
@SamsTrains
@SamsTrains 3 года назад
Nope! Sadly I don't have the NRM compound, and the Hornby Schools weren't good enough quality for me... but both lovely models for sure! A new 2P would be amazing to see! Thanks for watching, Sam :)

@@SamsTrains I have since watched your Video for Hornby schools class, and how you had 3 and all have been "off not the best quality". I have a friend that works for Dulwich Estates (The school and college). So when hornby Released Dulwich School SR 907 in 2016. I knew this was the school for me. Lucky for me I not encountered any of the problems you have had and payed alot less. But on a similar note you I brought The SR oliver green T9 120 the same locomotive as your LSWR T9 120, as well as the Tender frames fitted 180° the wrong way and the locomotive is higher at the front, it been problematic at best. I think unfortunately no 2 models are alike, as so much of it is now hand fitted/ built. It's this reason I now try and buy if possible models in person and if I'm not happy with it, It's not coming home with me.

Wow! What an awesome list! I must say, the t9 has to be my favourite, but the d16 is just as Great! I have to ask though, what is your favourite 4-4-0 in real life?
@melchestermodelrailway
@melchestermodelrailway 3 года назад
Agree entirely that City of Truro made 2nd place, a lovely looking model.
@AndreiTupolev
@AndreiTupolev 3 года назад
I suppose the choice here is determined by what's available in model form, but my personal favourite 4-4-0s are the Midland Compound, the GWR County and the LNER D49
@SamsTrains
@SamsTrains 3 года назад
Yeah you're right - and the compound is a sound choice too, love those! Thanks for watching, Sam :)

I Really like the T9 for two reasons, Reason 01- It my colour of Green. Reason 02- It based on my second favourite engine at swanage heritage railway 30120

I do like the 4-4-0's quite a lot myself. Especially that County Class you have! Will you be doing a Top 5 2-6-0 Steam Locomotives of All Time in the future?

Tank engines in general are my favorite (which is ironic for an American like myself, given how rare they were over here.) Were I to pick a favorite wheel arrangement, though, I guess I would go with the Prairie 2-6-2 for its symmetry (although the Mikado 2-8-2 looks nice too.)
@platformten5958
@platformten5958 3 года назад
Hi Sam. Can't argue with that top 5. I agree with the inclusion of all of them. However, if you had made it a top 6, then you could have squeezed the SECR D Class in there, something you had much praise for in your last video. Take care! 👍

Call me “far fetched” but Central Pacific Jupiter and Union Pacific 119 are my favourite 4-4-0 locomotives because, well, they were involved with the Transcontinental Railroad in 1869
