- It's back to Hornby we go to both satisfy a request made to me several months ago and to check out this charming little shunter. I was asked by many different people to do a review of a smaller loco, a beginner's loco. And so here she is!

A quick search on google and a helpful forum post reveal that Hornby's loco is based on an industrial shunter built for the Dowlais Ironworks in Wales in the early 1900's. The body has been lengthened to fit Hornby's generic 0-4-0 chassis, but otherwise is surprisingly prototypical. Great channel, Will: hope to see you back soon.
i like the brunswhick(?) green.
we have such fun with locos like these at the model railway club.
we have it bombing around the layout at full speed.
watching jump points and falling down an embancment to the lower track.
and the great thing is that there really robust.
yay!
i'm the 1000th viewer!
Nice! These things can be supersonic! Brilliant things... I have a bright pink 0-4-0 - I turn the lights of in the layout room and you can see a whole light-show of sparks! The motor in mine is very heavy and with extra weights it can pull 6 coaches! amazing.... they really are awesome little things! Yours is decently detailed as well! :) Awesome!
I got my Hornby Collector's Club 2011 loco last week, and it runs perfectly, it's the same class as this, in a gorgeous Midland Railway maroon, numbered eleven. I'd say it's a great engine. :D
Basic or not, for a person like me who lives in the US, who can't get good Hornby stuff so easily, this would be a golden treasure to me.
1) I need more engines on my layout
2)...ITS SO CUTE >
I love your vids
@joetorsneyTrains - refer to the instructions that come with each model. But in most cases it's just a case of getting underneath with a screwdriver.
@modelrailway01 - I'll upload a video on the proper layout when I'm ready. For now I've still got lots of other videos to get through first.
@trainguyrocks - it is possible to DCC these locos but not easy as there's very little room inside for the chip.
Cool video, I have a few of these 0-4-0's and they are actually quite good locos.
I'm definitely planning on buying one of these, because I own at least 3 of these Shunters, and they would make a nice collection of 0-4-0 Industrial Locos! Also you can get these online for like £14.00 or something, very good prices, but you can expect why, because they're for younger enthusiasts.
@rose2productions - they go at the front and back
that info is on my database.
i have 10 of these engines all in different liveries! im trying to find more of them and collect the whole series. even tho im a very serious collector i find to be obsessed with 0-4-0 s. lol.luckily ill be going to a model train convention at a horse race course so ill be able to get more!
@a4stan - it can be made to look a lot more detailed. I have a video where I do just that coming up later in Series 3. :)
@GeeksvilleStudios - it could easily putt 3 coaches yes. I think it was about £15
@SuperMarioNJ - ALL working engines are referred to in the feminine context. This dates from times when only men worked on them. For a man to say "oh yeah, he's gonna need to be in for a while" was confusing and other men thought he was on about an actual man. For him to say 'oh yeah, she's gonna need to be in for a while", all men instantly knew the man was on about a locomotive that needed work doing to it.
@modelrailway100 - I can't say I've noticed anything wrong with it but I will keep my eye on it for sure.
oh gr8 thanks!! :D
My first loco!
@joetorsneyTrains its just 1 screw at the front for the body
Nice opening vid as always! Quite a nice little engine except they go to fast!! have you thought about getting the royal mail train set with a lms loco?
The LNER N2 looks somewhat similar to this, but bigger.
Intercity82 all your videos are really great
are you going to upload the video with all your little engines like the Furness railway 0-4-0t and how many off the industrial engines do you have
i have a train like that in a set (the southern star)
Fun fact it's a prototype called a class D
im so exited im getting railworks2 train simulator XD im sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo exited when i get it im going to do a review on it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@InterCity82 thanx
@StrettonJunction yes it is
With this particular shape of loco are/where there any steam locomotives in existence which this particular shape loco is based on? Hornby seems to have done a lot of these type locos over the years. Personally I quite like them but I agree with you saying about them being primarily juvenile locos. Great video as always
@hornbytrains100 - my proper layout will have a turntable
hmm not sure actually! Maybe something someone else could look into and find out?
Wow very good price for this shunter £15.00
she might be basic but still a good runner, cool review mate :)
Well, they're basic, but pocket rockets on wheels, infact... if all industrial tank engines ran at the speeds she ran, coal mines across the country would be emptied in a matter of minutes, lol. Hornby should really look into re-designing this little engine, like fitting hornby toby's chassis instead of the 0-4-0T style, infact, you should give it a try, cause it fits perfectly, and looks terrific :)
She's exactly the same body as the southern star 0-4-0
i found it and £20 is quite a good price!
@InterCity82 Same engine, but with M R on the side tanks and 11 as the number, painted Red :D
can you upload a vid on opening a train set called the royal mail set
@InterCity82 push down the cab then push down on the front of the engine and you can tell the diffrence
hey the top is like a 0-6-0 E2
my mslr loco looks a lot like that
No he said SAT ON A BOX!
@deano91209 - about £15
how much was it
In your videos could you please show the locos at their top speed
I wouldn't call it a beginner loco bc it's cheap and small, what if there is a person whose been working on an HO/OO scale railroad, but can't afford an expensive locomotive. Even elite model railroaders buy cheap locos and rolling stock bc usually that's enough especially since EU Freight rolling stock is generally pretty small. Huge fan!! Hope u had use of this comment!!
were does the vacuome brake go ??
Nice, whats up with all the blu tack on your track? :P
can you review hornby the night mail train set
will it go on dcc?
i have one i lion works coleries
came in my starter set
is your loco unbalaced? because one end on mine is heavier than the other and sometimes if the loco stops sudenly one set of wheels comes off the track and once did a wheelie by stoping it to sudenly
@a4stan Stan what are you talking about!
My only loco gets abused a lot in this video lol
can you go smaller? mabey a small pug not the one that id in the railroad range but the one that they reintroduced
can you review a hornby night mail
Where do you buy this? I can't find it...
I have a very similar loco, just a different livery if you wanna check out that review!
how much did u pay for pay for it?
well she is cheap i think its alright actuelly i would replace the moter with a slow geared one and detail her if it got it you get the idia
yeh don't expect any thing amazing, just basicly smokey joe type engine whith diffrent bodie but its ok
nice review
i always think these little locos are cute lol not to sound like a sado lol
i have never saw a real loco like that, 5&*****s
It looks sorta like a 14XX knockoff
why
connor herd Western region paint and water tanks that don't go that far to the smokebox.
This is based off of a real locomotive called a Class D Tank Locomotive. There are quite a few pictures of them. I believe two were built, and they were unfortunately cut up, but luckily people took pictures of them. Hornby simply made up most of the paint schemes they put on these.
not really.
ummmm why do you keep calling this little engine her and she. i thought it was a boy
