OO 282, Another Rolling Road
zhlédnutí 450Před 3 měsíci
Welcome to my two hundred and eighty second video on my work with OO gauge. This video will feature yet another rolling road. I've gone through quite a saga with rolling roads. I initially bought the Hammant & Morgan (HM) 'loco tester' (see Part 24 of this series). The track base of that was solid, but the small brass rollers that came with it were very awkward to keep positioned on the track, ...

Welcome to my two hundred and eighty first video on my work with OO gauge. In this video I'll be looking at the Hornby's brand new tooling of the LMS Stanier Black 5. This was announced as the 'ultimate' OO gauge Black 5, back in 2022. The first versions of it finally became available in April 2024, and mine arrived last week. Sadly - spoiler alert - this will not be a happy story. Others have ...

Hi hand good afternoon I I watch your videos. This help me out a lot. I did a Jubilee class but I use the main line tender using Hornby dublo pick ups. I purchase from eBay for the plungers put weights in the tender runs great so watching this I have a hornby F4 this as giving me an idea I’ve got two on them ones and give it a go to 3 go to three rail
Hi Ken. I hope you are well and just taking a break for the summer. I look forward to your next video.
Thanks for the very informative vid. Like your self I am setting up my Hornby 3 rail system and one of the pieces of equipment is the tpo carriage. The condition is the same as yours, appears brand new and never used. As they were quiet expensive at the time and according to my catalogue came late to 3 rail just before Hornby switched to 2 rail. I would imagine that quite a few remained on the shelves at the warehouse to be sold off cheap when they had the big clearance. Speculation on my part of course. Like yours there were no instructions which brought me to your page. Now I know how to set it up using the fixed voltage on the old C3 controller. Thanks for the information.
I have recently bought a Duette and find it a great unit for my layout. I also find that using it in High resistance is a good setting for my older steamers. Thanks for the video and your thoughts. Cheers. Tim Melbourne Australia.
Great video thanks for sharing, J
Hope everything is ok with you. Missed your ranting and raving!!!! A very enjoyable channel. Return soon!!!!! Nigel S
I have everything working on the V977 but one thing is when in Idu1/staboff the Thrcut wont work..Thrcut only will work when in normal mode.what do i have setup on that part wrong ?
He just keeps repeating himself far too much
Great video and very sad to hear of your troubles. I recently got the very latest hush hush with the same connection. Lots of little faults and decoration issues, the connection seems very fragile and motion was very tight out ofvthe box. It took some serious running in, extra oiling and a gentle loosen of the crank pins before it performed well 😢 - hornby are just so hit and miss these days
Hi had good evening. after watching your video, how to convert mainline Jubilee to three rail this was a great help to me, but what I did purchased, some spare plungers and converted the mainline tender drilling holes in the tender chassis put to small spaces in them put the plungers in just doing the wiring which was simple, because of the weight on your video, using the hornby. Dublo 8 f tender I thought this was the right approach and also the body on the tender top the colours remain the same I hope this help many thanks Colin.
the power and sound control maybe old technology but it's really cool - the whistle/horn sounds more simulating an Nth American loco - but at one point when you were reducing the slider it made an Gresley A4 note.
Thanks for this video I have just gone over to the Hornby Dublo three rails I have got a lot of mainline bachmann and Hornby tender drive and loco locomotives drive some I will convert to three rail if I can this should help me out so thanks Colin.
Sorry to here your woes with this model...I'm one of the lucky ones as my version works perfectly, and its one beautiful unit that I'm very pleased with. I just think its fair to point out there are good ones out there. Everyone seems to be slating Hornby, and understandably so, but I think its the chinese factory cutting corners rather than any inherent design fault, and they have well and truly dropped Hornby in the mire.
Yes Oxford, sort it out! Great video on an interesting subject, many thanks.
Hi, I have several of these engines like you. I have found them all to be very good pullers. You can try and re-magnatize the original magnet. I used the magnates from an old hard drive to do this. you can find instructions on line about manually doing this. Or you could buy one of Ronald Dodds re-magnatizers. The old hard drive magnet trick is a lot cheaper.
Hi, I have just got one of these plus the clockwork Hornby Dublo version. Both have fully working clockwork motors. Unfortunately the Trackmaster engine is missing it's pony truck. Do you have any idea where I might be able to get one.
I can only run mine on radius 4.
If you want to do a fitted version you will need a Parkfield PA16 LMS J hanger underframe. Also the clasp brakes, and short brake handles, that come with that underframe and the upright vacuum pipes and cylinder from the Ratio kit. Note that the Ratio kit you assembled was antediluvian and the underframe now comes in three parts, floor and two solebars.
Thank you so much the instructions are terrible.....your video saw me threw thanks again
What Kato needs to produce is controllers incorporating the soundbox features on one chassis. That would reduce wiring complexity and improve ease of use.
The main question, how many volt provide this Duette with high resistans and half way mode in the lowest point?
The one thing I’m going to say is… THATS AN LBSC E2 TANK ENGINE!!! WHY ARE YOU GIVING IT LMS DCALS (note: that was probably a BR (British rail) paint scheme or the black LBSC paint scheme)
well sorry to say this is probably going to the bin, too many complaints to list, unfortunately my new layout is laid for this terminus, so I am off to see who else makes one, if I owned superquick I would fix this or delete it as I will never use them again.
Always looked hard to get right when you have to cut most of the pieces out of sheets of paper. I marvel now how dad made this station, given that he did it over 50 years ago; not sure if the original owner would be in a position to improve it.
thanks im only a bit through this , what a complicated instruction manual , im making mistakes at every turn
It was always meant for 4s
I'd give you a dozen thumbs up for this video , but CZcams won't let me !
I don't feel so embarrass about my work/ modelling bench LOL !😀
Hope everything is okay with you - not seen you post anything in a while... always enjoy your posts!
I've been feeling a bit discouraged lately, what with my complete failure with the new Hornby Black Five, and some historical things I was pursuing not working out too well, and increasing difficulties using eBay. And real-life problems keeping coming one on top of another. So I've pretty much put my model railway stuff aside for a bit.
@@kleedhamhobby Ahh sorry to hear that - yes the Black 5 issue was particularly frustrating. All the best to you, hopefully things will look better soon - I for one always enjoy your detailed commentary! Cheers, Sam :)
I am on my second one and it has exactly the same issues with the connector. I can’t even run it in I’m so disappointed as it’s such a stunning looking loco. No choice but to send it back
i use triang princess elizabeth rolling chassis & they work great with the bodys
sadly with any company manufacturing in 2024... 'new' is doublespeak for cheap, nasty, disposable
I have seen other videos of this model and the main problem does seem to be the connecter between loco and tender. One CZcamsr did find the problem and it was the tender connecter. The two outer connections were not touching the train connector and he was just able to push down the connectors with a small screwdriver, the model worked perfectly, but how long this would last I have no idea. In another video, the loco had glue marks everywhere and even the lamps had been glued in place. Hornby's lack of quality control sticks again. I hope you do get a replacement and that all will be fine. Martin. (Thailand)
What appears to be exhibitor 7 ‘Leadenham’ is actually the new modular exhibition layout from The BUFFERS Model Railway & Transport Group 🇬🇧 🚂 ⛴️ 🚌 🚗 🚁 out of London, ON. Yes, the helipad, harbour lighthouse & airport tarmac area which my pal & I are building is still a work in progress, as is the turntable area, as there is a substantial bit of 3-d printing required to complete the project. As we retired the old ‘Ardleigh Bitton’ one & sold it to some chaos down Hamilton way. It’s rising from the ashes, and was t’riffic to see it there at the opposite end of the ice pad. 😉👍
Mine is sitting with Hornby for an assessment.
Seems poor quality. I qas going to buy one but I think I'll give it a miss
Hi and thanks for making this very useful video…. You set swash to 120 degrees in heli setting but why is this needed? It doesn’t appear to be required since the helicopter does all its own mixing onboard. Can you explain this please?
I'm sorry, I did this so long ago that I can't remember. All I can say is that the settings shown here definitely work. I'm sure other, slightly different, settings would work as well.
I see you found your nail-clippers at last! lol
I recon there is a solder dry joint somewhere, much Chinese electrics are mass produced and use a dip solder method.. I collect RC trucks / excavators too, and some of the soldering is just appalling, with wires dropping off, left right and centre..these are not cheap either, some costing twice as much as you Hornby steamer..
Thank you , Mr.Kleeman . That you finished the kit I'd give you a dozen thumbs up , but CZcams won't let me !
The same issue as both the first and second of Sam’s Trains models *and* as Little Wicket. Such shoddy workmanship - and all three of theirs ended up with another problem when a pin was shed from one of the con-rods as well. Like you, I’m in Canada and won’t be touching any new Hornby stuff with a barge pole any more. I’ve just sent back a new Hornby 14xx that doesn’t work either. Such shoddy workmanship and poor quality control could see them go under.
I have the 20 year old super detailed loco driven model. Runs great, looks great, couples close, and bits don’t fall off…..no way I would pay 200 for this….
I like your chimes in the back ground .
Because their seems to be many problems, they need to do a recall on the item.
Obviously this new coupling system has not been factory tested properly.
I’m in Canada as well (west coast). We lost our Hornby retailer as well last year. I’ve contacted the Hornby mothership and they have no answer other than online ordering from the UK. I do that through a uk retailer
Junk and shit LOL !!!
Roll on with the kit bashing Ken! Love it 😊
I miss it this year , maybe next after year .
8:59 An American outline locomotive of freelance design, German and it likely would’ve had red frames & wheels, not to mention the lack of a cowcatcher, I’ve been meaning to get one of those TTR 0-4-0s for a good while for converting to 2 rail DC with a heavily modified Triang 0-4-0 chassis…
I think you mean an off position thats we call it in the uk. How many detents did you say in this video?
