Oh no smelly messy steam engine you cant ask for better realism.
Realy amazing!
Beautiful
Lets get the Facts right / The robbery that took place that night was carried out by members of the Luton Model Railway Club
Nice !!
How do you keep it dust free ?
Fantastic - thank you! Never had the balls to try a brass kit, but a lot less daunting now. I'm off to Screwfix...
Nice idea and very useful, but there is one thing you and others need to be aware of. When left on the desk, they can be easily knocked around and then you may have a flame pointing at you.
There's always someone who finds something to harp on about when a new model appears, and this time it's me! Steam issuing from cylinder drain cocks is such a distinctive sight and sound when a big steam loco moves off. Surely that could have been programmed in? But I'm not a user of DCC and have yet to hear a decent steam loco sound from a model. (diesels aren't too bad,) But after half an hour or so of having my ear drums assailed I'd rather just hear the sounds of the model. Yes, you guessed it, I'm an oldie!
I've been using a couple of these, and a micro torch for soldering for quite a while now. One thing you realise very quickly is that there is a superheated exhaust coming out of it when using the soldering tip.. as long as one is well aware of where that's going, and ensuring that it wont burn/ignite/melt anything important is very easy to use.
Salut my friend super Diorama super video subscribe subscribe
Well worth mentioning, useful video. I've been using similar on and off for last twenty years, a requirement for 7mm scale brass or nickel silver kits - which act as a heatsink.
A wonderful creation and a charming video, and man.
I travelled on the Hayling branch line. I was 7 when it closed. Great layout, a joy to see. I love also the boats and sailing barges you have made. Very nice!
quite a good informational video. Can you use a different color jig next time, that would make what you do show up a lot better on camera. Even just light grey would greatly increase contrast.
GO YOU 'R's!!!
Wow I just absolutely luvit who needs sound to have that look and sound of the wheels hitting the rail joints and coming at you and going passed you. The pullmans are just gorgeous and seeing 10 carriages pulled behind an a4 is just awesome. Cheers from John in Australia
Also your camera skills are great too as it looks like a real camera sitting next to a real train...Good work...
Great model. Well done Hornby. Thanks WoR. Chris, you need to Hoover up the rubbish wood chippings on your track. ;-)
Wow, wow, and again, wow!
I had one of these and it was troublesome from the word go. Mine would barely emit a wisp of steam and then the sound gave up all together. My ECoS controller would immediately short out when trying to read/write the decoder and DCC experts diagnosed this was due to the locomotive having two decoders fitted (one in the tender and the other for the steam generator). Finally, the locomotive stopped running. Hornby technical services were at a loss as to why it stopped working. It wouldn't respond to the HM7000 app either. My supplying dealer tested it on their DCC control systems (Gaugemaster Prodigy and NCE Powercab) and couldn't get it to respond to either controller - so I managed to get a full refund and back to Hornby it went.
Thanks so much for creating this tutorial video.
What a glorious video! I knew Little Bytham well in the late 1950s until 1963 trainspotting on the 3 arch Bridge in school hols. So realistic that I could be there again whilst watching the video. Lovely piece of nostalgia, so full of memories!
There good little kits but if your after an accurate looking narrowboat there's only really the Skytrex steam natrowboat, it's easy to convert to a diesel or a liveaboard instead of a work boat using the likes of balsa or styrene
Your anecdotal commentary compliments the wonderful models on display perfectly. Thank you for sharing.
Typically British, Mad as a hatter but we love it and what a fab layout he built. GT
Very nice 👌
Very nicely done on the atmospheric look, first class buildings and perspective . Felt odd not having any figures about particularly no engine diver?
I agree Tony, in my experience smoke and sound doesnt scale well, but this has to be the best version yet, impressive.
Horribly plastic.
The Hornby patented Smoke Generator doesn’t use heat it’s an incredible bit of tech 👍
What do you mean "patented"? It's just an ultrasonic atomizer on a box. They have not invented this, just seen it popularised by TRS trains and copied the idea.
@@macnavi After reviewing this myself, had to answer some questions that you raise here, in part and Hornby couldn’t say too much as it was their own patented design. Don’t see why they’d make that up. Of course they’re all based loosely on the household atomisers. Having these factory fitted is very cost effective👍
@@modeloco There is actually a British guy who owns a patent on a smoke generator, you can find info about it on-line. Possibly they bought that one. It would be hard to imagine this is a new, fully completed patent and not patent pending.
@@macnavi maybe, you’d have to call them but, it’s what they said and just today mentioned to my son that the pioneer who actually invented, what would become TV was written out of history. I wrote the riff to Clocks by Coldplay years before them. Only I really know that. Saved my ex company 96K and got paid a wage so, got told to get over it. It’s not cricket. Man who wrote bass riff to Lou Reeds Walk on the wild side, that Lou didn’t like at all ironically, got paid a session rate. Maybe it’s the system but, try tell that to the one who profiteered 😷
Yeap we have used water vapour diffusers with piezzo transducers for about 12 years or so on 5 inch gauge "diesels" (battery) models . They use small (well about 30mm ) fans to blow the vapour out, but certainly the amazing bit Hornby have done is scaling it down and getting it to chuff by controlling a tiny fan. Well done them. Shame they cannot offer a retro fit option for folks like me who bought the Prince of Wales P2 when it came out
Very nice, sound. steam and lights are deffo' the way to go now. HOWEVER - why-oh-why can't Hornby get the audible beat to match the wheels/ctlinders of the loco....? Even my little Kernow GWR SRM manages that....!!!!! Hornby seem expert and the 'Ha'peth O'Tar' trick...!
Never marry your cousin, and this is the reason why😂
That 2nd coach I recognise as a Mainline LMS P3 Corridor. Nice to see that even advanced modelers like Tony Wright have the odd bit of ancient Mainline rolling stock. Their locomotives may be unreliable, but their wagons and coaches were fantastic
Lovely and relaxing to watch. Thanks for sharing
Magnificent model railway! Very very quaint and charming. I’m in awe of how many wagons there are on some of the trains, and hearing your description of how smooth everything needs to be running leaves me wondering at the skill and experience needed. All sounds a very strict and orderly, I don’t know if I’d fit in with that level of knowledge. Would be fun to actually see it all for myself though!
. ...stunning layout....and locos.....
They look like the real thing on the stills
What a wonderful model railway it's absolutely beautiful. Thankyou for making this it's a real gem and the backstory you gave was very interesting.
Great video and commentary. Thank you.
Excellent video
Great work. I tend to prefer using cotton buds to take off excess water and then I roll the bud gently and lightly over the top of the decal to push out any excess water to prevent any bubbling/silvering. I am not a pro but I just love modelling within the limitations of my skills. I use Railtec Transfer and they are very easy to use for novice modellers and newcomers.
Very smooth quiet running Tony👍💜✌️😊
Great job Ivan - video as well as the layout.
3:57 don’t let and women know about that. They’ll see it as their duty to barge in and take over.
Makes me want to be 00 and walk around.
Coming from East Sussex originally, I knew all about this small branch line. I love your compact layout and am thinking of building a small steeple cab type shunter for my garden railway.
My brother sent this to me as I live in Abingdon and he is a lifelong railway modeller. It’s a wonderful layout and nice video inspired by the Abingdon railway station.
At 2:10 or so, the loco seems to wobble a great deal. I'm sure the engine crew would be shaken to bits.
