I love those small simple tank engines, I personally think smaller engines have more personality than the bigger engines in my opinion.
Thanks mate, yeah I think they do actually, you’re right!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
It was certainly interesting to see the "discussions" between Hornby and Rails on the recent BBC4 programme!
haha! It most certainly was! xD
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I liked how Simon Kohler handled it...lol. Don't think hes a man to take on without careful thought lol. I want a terrier for my Dean Park Station layout. Dave
@@SamsTrains I'm hoping you'll review those programmes in your next "news" posting! I too found it fascinating although, unlike DaveClass47 (sorry Dave) I thought that Simon, or Hornby anyway, came across as a bit arrogant. Discuss :-).
@@Robutube1 Mabye he was a bit arrogant, but that's the world of business I suppose. Hornby have to make their money too, and in my opinion it was a dirty move from rails to put all their large signs right above the hornby stand at the model railway show, they knew what they were doing but then they get annoyed when hornby makes a terrier?
@@jonathankelly7430 You could be right about it just being business Jonathan and I agree with you about the Rails of Sheffield signage too. I did however think it odd that Hornby's launch product selection looked petty rather than coincidental (but who knows how these things are edited by the programme makers?) and alienating towards their own customers. Nevertheless, the biggest orders then came from those same customers so it seems likely there was game playing on both sides. I just wish they'd made the series longer; perhaps they'll revisit to see how things are going in a year or two :-).
That BR Black. Just keeps getting better and better. You should review the Bachmann Henry.
I agree - it's just lovely! I have been keeping an eye out for Henry, but they all seem to be gone :(
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Hello, Sam!
I've been watching your videos for a little over a year now, and I just wanted to thank you for getting me back into the model railway hobby! I had them when I was younger, and eventually moved on to other things, but seeing your reviews has shown me what beautiful locos and rolling stock are available on the market, and have given me the bug to start again! I chose this video in particular to comment on because I just received my own Hornby Terrier in the mail today!
Thanks again!
That's my pleasure, really glad to have been some help to you! Hope you are happy with your own Terrier! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Hi Sam, more trivia. The "brass" fittings on the sides of the boiler are the water feed "Clack" valves, so named because of the clacking noise they made in operation. The ones on the sides of the smokebox are lubricators. Good review, I agree with you. Best regards, Alan.
Hey Alan, thanks so much for these tips, much appreciated!
Cheers,
Sam :)
Nicely detailed performance and construction review. It goes far to maintain the reliability of your reviews.
That's very kind of you to say - thanks a lot mate! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
Outstanding review Sam! This was definitely a important key to my purchase of this terrier, it arrived only yesterday and I’m already enjoying it! Thanks again for the well detailed review. Have a great day/evening!
Thanks a lot Ryan - ooh awesome, really glad you like it! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Love BR black
Me too!! :D
One advantage of buying from your local retailer (if you have one) is that you can check it out before purchase.
This is very true - definitely worth doing where possible, provided it's a good price! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
Great job on this review Sam! The new hornby terrier looks amazing! :D
Thanks so much Kameron, really glad you liked it! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
I Love the terriers, nice to see a new review! Have a Good Night-Axel
Thanks Axel, glad you like these! Have a great night! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
No joke I saw the video and have never clicked on a video faster, great review Sam I love these terriers
That’s lovely to hear, thanks so much mate!
Cheers,
Sam :)
Very pleased with how this model looked and Thank you so much for the Hatton suggestion. Plan to get the Stepney version once released and with having him shipped to the US any bit helps in lowering the price.
My pleasure Moy, glad you liked this! Hope you enjoy your Stepney, they sure look great! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
They have done a good job with it and it was interesting to watch the James May background programme.
Thanks mate, they certainly have - and it really was an interesting program! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I was really looking forward to this model, and I'm not disappointed! Great review Sam!
That's great to hear mate, I'm not disappointed either! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Excellent review of the brand new Hornby LBSCR Terrier tank Sam 👍😉
I'm going to get one of these in Southern or LBSCR liverys in the near future when there come out.
Thanks a lot Jose, hope you enjoy the versions you go for! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I'm looking to buy one of these for my stand alone layout of Havant station c. 1960. These terriers were used on the hayling branch line until 1963. Great review thank you.
Ahh very nice Gary - that sounds like a brilliant layout concept, hope all goes well! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Yay finally a new video from Sam!
Thank you! Hope you like it! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Reminds me of Stepney a little bit :)
Yeah me too - it's certainly the same class! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
I have DS680 and it's a brilliant little model. It ran perfectly out of the box. Well worth it
Excellent review. This has made me very tempted to purchase one myself. However, the assembly is where Rails might have Hornby here. Always tense when two companies make the same model. Hornby have flexed their production muscles with how fast this has been released, but at the cost of certain areas you've highlighted.
Always enjoyable. Looking forward to the next review.
Thanks so much mate, that's great to hear - yeah I agree, there's definitely room for Rails to beat Hornby on this - we'll just have to wait and see! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
This little model is definitely on my must have list it looks fantastic in that black finish.When those Beatles wagons come available I'm ordering them, this locomotive would look great hauling them im a big Beatles fan.Once again great review Sam !!
Nice to see that the terriers are starting to come out. Really hope Stepney comes out very soon!
Alex Productions Stepney from Thomas and friends has already been released
Thanks a lot Alex! Yes the others should be along soon - including Stepney! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Hi Sam, im going to get the Southern Green version. Thanks again for a great video
That's awesome Thomas - really hope you like it! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
Very nice little loco, I’ve got the SECR green one on order looking forward to it ! Certainly a lot of Tank locos being produced of late..cheers Ryan
That's great Ryan - I think the SECR green will definitely be the most impressive! That's certainly true! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Woah! She looks beautiful Sam! I really wanna get one! It's sad I don't have enough money though. Thanks for sharing this to us!
Jack
Ahh not to worry Jack - maybe one day mate?? :D
Glad you enjoyed it,
Sam :)
The Terriers are nice little 0-6-0 Tank Engines. Yours are the cutest I've ever seen. I don't have an 0-6-0 Terrier in my collection, but if I see any somewhere I might try and buy two making sure one of them is Stepney.
Thanks a lot Kelly, they certainly are cute looking things - I can recommend them overall!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
WOW!!! thats so cool!! im gonna look around for one of those!
Thanks a lot mate - there still should be plenty in stock! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
That was the loco that came with my very first ever Hornby electric train set mate & I have very fond memories of it! Lovely loco mate!👍🚂🚃🚃🚃🚄🚅🚉🛸😁👍
Ahh very nice - glad this brought back some memories for you! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
I really like the Terriers their amazing, and I love their detail
Thanks Corey! Yeah me too - Terriers are lovely! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
Hi Sam great looking loco
I agree you shouldn't have to do repairs out the box
I bought my first n gauge engine and It works
Looking forward to tomorrow's live stream
Thanks a lot Lewis, yes a little disappointing, but overall not too bad! Great to hear your N gauge engine works well!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I've always thought that it need an update!!!! My prays have been answered
haha absolutely - they certainly did need an update! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
Great video mate, I saw this loco on the BBC 4 documentary. It was very interesting
I hope you enjoyed running it on your great layout.
Thanks very much mate! Yeah me too - it really was interesting! Definitely an enjoyable model! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I'd like to see you compare the Rails Terrier to the Hornby one.
I hope to do that too! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Yep you saved me from saying that,it will be interesting comparing the two side by side.
Agreed a comparison would be really good... especially after the animosity that was shown on James Mays program and the claims by Rails that theirs would be better!
I agree John, I think the Rails one will be a gem as well. Might even get one to run on my Dean Park layout lol. Dave
@@DeanPark I saw the photo and could have sworn it's an 0 gauge given the number of details.
Well I was going back to modelling an OO end-to-end layout, but I was slightly upset when I read about the 3-pole motor.
But, it looks as if the mechanism does not hinder smooth slow running, so back up the wishlist it goes!
Yeah that’s true, the 3pole motor was definitely not an issue on this - it’s only really the build quality I have a problem with!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Good Evening Sam,
The brand new retooled Hornby A1X Terrier is an excellent model despite some of the detail is made of plastic, the running performance is superb, despite being fast at half speed, I did tell you long time ago, the Terriers are quite speedy Tank Engines back on the LBSCR while hauling commuter trains, the Terrier looks like she's travelling at around 40 miles per hour.
I can see 6 Southern Region Tank Engines in the sidings.
Talking of Tank Engines, yesterday I went to the Spring Steam Gala on the Severn Valley Railway, it was brilliant seeing a lot of Tank Engines running and a few Tender Engines, most of them are Great Western and the 2, a LNWR Coal Tank No.1054 from the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway and the Severn Valley Railway's recently overhauled, BR Standard 4 4-6-0 No.75069.
While I was in Kidderminster, I treated myself to a new model steam locomotive, it's not a British one, it's a German DB 2-8-2T Class Steam Locomotive made by Marklin, Marklin is a model railway company in Germany, it's a interesting model.
Now back to your brand new Hornby Terrier, again it's a excellent model, I'm planning on getting 2 Terriers, No.655 Stepney in LBSCR Improved Green Livery and No.2662 Martello in Southern Railway Olive Green Livery, I haven't pre-ordered them yet.
I give your video as always.
10/10
5 Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 😉
Thanks very much for this Jordan - ahh yes that's true, I remember you saying that they were speedy! Hope had an awesome time at the Gala - it does sound fantastic! Hope you enjoy your new engine, that sounds brilliant! Thanks again for the comment,
Sam :)
Definitely going to buy this one!
Awesome, hope you enjoy it! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
Getting this engine too. Thanks for the review
I watched this with quite a lot of enjoyment. I have one OO guage engine as they are quite hard to find in america. The terrier. I have the same exact one in this review. Same number and everything just the old style run. Very cool to see the new run.
That’s good to hear Jack, sorry to hear they’re hard to find over there! Ooh cool, I didn’t know there was an old version of this one!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
What a wonderful terrier!
Absolutely!! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
On the Hayling Island branch line, I think the normal load was 2 or 3 bogie passenger coaches. They had a couple of mixed trains per week, which would have 2 coaches and a few goods wagons (including the goods brake van).
Thanks for the comment Richard - seems as though these can definitely haul a prototypical load then, which is good! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
An amazing review, Sam. Fenchurch the Terrier was a very nice locomotive, with good detailing, a powerfull engine, and its small design was very attractive too. However, there are some areas that it could be better, like the fact that is very speed at the control, (but I think its due to the small gearing on the chasis, since that also happened with the Midland 1F) and especially the quality, since its a bit disapointing that you have to fix parts of a new in box model. But other than that, it is still a beautifull model, even if its not perfect, it is incredible how much they improved it, and it was worth the wait in my opinion. Anyways, hope you have a good day, and I will see you later.
Thanks very much Valentino - glad you agreed with my points in general, appreciate it mate!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Very nice review of a very nice loco! They only brought this out to challenge the one rails of Sheffield are making. I can’t wait to see more videos of Diesels I would love to see you review the new Hornby class 66. Keep up the good work.
Ned
Thanks Ned, yeah I got a similar impression from the program too! The Hornby 66s is jut a rerelease of an old Tooling, possibly even the old Lima one? I’m not sure about that though!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Your videos are amazing, i watch them everyday and they brighten up my day, i hope you get stepney in A1 or A1X terrier
That's really kind of you Morgie - thanks so much!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
@@SamsTrains I got a A1X terrier Waddon in a green livery and a A1 Stepney in his green yellow livery
Another great review sam
Cheers mate - much appreciate it! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Hey Sam. Another great video. Would be interesting to see a full comparison against the previous Hornby version...AND perhaps the Rails of Sheffield version..? But at £110.00 that one better not have any glue marks or bent pick ups!
Thanks Alan! Yes those are good ideas, I could certainly give that a try! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Everyone wants a Terrier!
I love Terriers although I don't have one! I hope there's an industrial livery one.
Haha absolutely! I’m sure there is, it’s worth double checking though!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Nice review Sam. Always liked the 'cute' look of the Terrier which Hornby seem to have got pretty much spot on. Funny you having problems with the pickups, I had some problems with another - older - Hornby loco as well. Reasonably priced, relatively speaking these days. Al.
Thanks a lot Alan - me too, they look fantastic don't they? That's true though - very reasonably priced!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
That model is so tiny it looks so funny pulling all those coaches. And a little fact the coaches it was pulling are the one that were used for the express coaches in Thomas and friends.
haha yeah I agree - it really is tiny!! ;D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I was listening to the argument between rails of Sheffield and Hornby. It was quite interesting!!!!!!
haha! Yeah it was very interesting, lol! ;D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Saw another A1x Martello running at Nene Valley Railway's Southern Steam event and did a footplate and brake van ride with her!
Ahh very nice - that sounds awesome, hope you had a great time mate! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
This Terrier is very nice Sam!
Thanks a lot Marco! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
I wasn’t at all interested in these until I picked up the 2662 Southern terrier. I’m actually really impressed with its performance, I did have a minor issue as you did with one of the pickups, but as you mentioned I got curious about the other pre-grouping liveries and I have a LSWR example coming in the post!
Thanks a lot for sharing Owen - yes overall fantastic models for the price... I've found later examples to be better quality too!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
wow this looks and preforms awesome I can’t wait for them to release A1X Stepney
realSponge _o they already released a Stepney from Thomas and friends
Thanks a lot for that mate! Yes Stepney should be awesome! Dahcoolmincrafta BRUH - true they do have a Thomas Stepney already, but that's a very old model - the new Stepney is to represent the real thing! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Hi Sam, yes a nice little engine, I think Hornby was to quick off the mark , but still a nice one, P.S have run out of birthdays, All the Best Brian 🤗
Thanks Brian - yeah overall a pretty good model, quite pleased with this! Blimey! That doesn't sound like good news?!? :O
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
nice looking loco for the price am looking forward to seeing the comparison between hornby and rails of sheffield when there model comes out
Thanks a lot mate, yes I'm certainly looking forward to that too! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
I really like the way you do these videos. 1 👍 from the USA.
Thanks so much Ramon, that's lovely to hear!
Cheers,
Sam :)
The best terrier t I have ever seen
Probably me too! For now, at least! ;D
After this review and the programs (Which were great!) I'm HAVE to get one!
Haha that’s good to hear! Hope you enjoy mate!
Cheers,
Sam :)
I recently clean my loco and it runs way better than before
Great to hear that - well done!! :D
I love the Hornby terrier
So do I! :D
Great video mate! Shame there still isn't the character category because this one would score very well! :)
Thanks very much mate! Yeah very true - if I still had the character category, this would have gotten a 5 for sure! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I finally got this model
Awesome! Is it good?! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
I like how this terrier is one of the models without the sandbox at the front connected with the wheel arches apart from the Hornby terrier southern engine number 2662, (correct me if I got the boxes at the front wrong) most models have this, even the Thomas and friends Stepney Hornby model.
I'm not too sure about that actually - I'll look it up! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I HAVE FINALLY ACHEIVED MY GOUL... i have a southern railway number 10 terrier.
haha amazing!! A Hornby one?! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Just got myself a second hand GWR 14xx loco for £30. Test it at the shop, had some problems but everything is ok now.
However they don’t have a auto coach for it. Better keep on looking.
Hey Connor, that sounds very good for £30 - great bargain! Hope you're able to find a good autocoach! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Sam'sTrains thanks.
However i tested it on my layout and it keeps stopping when it goes forward. I cleaned the track and everything
Very good video Sam! :D
Thanks Freddy!
Great and fair review of a beautiful steam loco. But again well known Hornby quality issues.
Thanks a lot Norbert! Yes it's a shame about that - I thought these issues were behind them :/
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
hey Sam i am so excited to see this new terrier by hornby, but please please please review the Rails of Sheffield A1x terrier as well and compare them both. It would be great to hear which own is the better buy?
Thanks a lot Thomas - yes I do plan to review theirs too, and maybe even do a separate comparison! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
I think that’s a good lesson- just check over the train before running to see if there are obvious defects in assembly especially where the pickups are concerned.
Yeah absolutely - it's definitely wise to look it over!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Great vid and ur Merch is awsome
Thanks so much - glad you like the Merch! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Allo all what's all this then. A new terrier. Thank you Hornby
Haha absolutely! Thank you Hornby!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Great video as always Sam, I have pre-ordered the Southern lined green one. It's a bit of a worry though that Hornby have yet again let build quality drop. The recent pecket I purchased was to excellent standards and it regained my faith with hornby. I really hope that Hornby hasn't dropped the ball yet again.
Thanks a lot Jose, I hope the SR version is a really good one for you - let's hope they're not all like mine were!! :o
I agree - I thought the quality problems were well in the past!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I know it's been suggested before, but would you be able to compare not only the old Hornby terrier but the p class as well against yhe new terrier? Very similar models really.
@@SamsTrains well southern 2662 has finally arrived . Hornby have definitely dropped the ball yet again with quality control. Broken cab steps, ugly scratches on the running board and what the really annoying thing is the missing coupling hook! I think I'll cancel the pre-order for the rest of the terriers and wait for the rails of Sheffield one's.
That 'copper device' is a clack (non-return) valve, it is the valve through which water is injected into the boiler. The brass taps either side of smoke box look like lubricators for the cylinders.
Duly noted Matt, thank you! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Ok the decals on this engine look great :)
They certainly do! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
Another model I need to order but only if it is as good as the rails of Sheffield, from Sheffield (great James May joke) versions. I had to buy the GWR shunters truck (fowey one)on Friday because of your great review on it.
Thanks a lot Ben! Yes that's the big question - we'll have to wait and see how that one runs! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
Great video Sam I'm hoping to get the Stepney version
Thanks David, that’s good to hear, hope it’s good! :D
im saving up money to expand my fleet of locomotives and this will be one of them and I plan on getting the one in SR Green
Ooh amazing - I bet that'll look fantastic!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
very tempted by this, i was planning on buying the old tooling second hand, but seeing them run i'm not sure which I'd pick, considering the difference in price. does seem like it pays to get a good look at them out of the box before you pick one though.
Can only hope Hornby are planning to retool more of their old Dapol locos, having heard only negative-to-mixxed reviews on the J94 and 14xx from DJM in terms of performance.
Thanks for the comment - yeah with these it would be good to take a look in the box first, if possible! Agreed - a new J94 and 14xx from Hornby would be fantastic - I'd certainly buy them!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
10.09
I believe that’s a lubrication cup, for oil and the like, we have some on the little industrial tank engines at the railway I volunteer at
Duly noted Benjamin, thanks for letting me know! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
As ever, a very fair and enjoyable review Sam. Hopefully Hornby will send you another livery FOC for review to show that they can do better than this. All the best.
Thanks very much Andrew, very much appreciated mate! I highly doubt they'll do that - but it'd be very welcome if they did! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I think you should take a look at some of the other terriers but I also think you look at Dapol. Yes there much more expensive but based on previous dapol models it should prove the better model. Also the guard irons are wrong on Hornby’s new terrier whilst dapol Dapols are correct. Either way another great review and I’m loving the camera work , I think it’s improved heaps over the past few months.
Regards
-Harry
Definitely Harry, I’ll certainly be taking a look at the other models! And thanks so much for that, really glad you’ve noticed a difference!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
From what I can gather, the taller lamp irons were added during their days under Southern Railways ownership as the LBSCR “Stepney” model that has yet to release, doesn’t have the taller lamp irons and neither does the SECR or K&ESR versions.
MachRacer4 used for the extra disc/destination codes the SR used
Very interesting - thanks very much for letting me know this, duly noted!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Looks really nice, although a few inaccurate details it seams just about spot on.
I now just wonder who's going to win the terrier wars?
Thanks a lot mate! Yes it’s very difficult to say -plenty of room for improvement on this one though, so I’m really interested to see the Dapol one! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I’ve been eyeing two Hornby Terriers on Amazon in Southern Green and Leadenhall for under $100. I’m currently leaning towards Leadenhall since it looks like Stepney from TTTE
Ooh fantastic - sounds quite reasonable - good luck if you go for it! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Two on preorder Stepney and SE&CR, little worried as that pick up looked terrible. The rest of the detail looks good. Good video Sam.
That's good to hear Malx! I'd just suggest doing a quick visual check before running - any issues, I'd return them for replacements! Glad you liked this anyway,
Cheers,
Sam :)
Sam'sTrains will do, thanks
$118 USD seems a bit expensive for a terrier, but admittedly to a college student everything seems expensive. I’d like to see another terrier, hopefully this was a fluke. Good video Sam, as always.
I agree it is pretty expensive - but not so much when compared with other models on offer, many of which cost more than double! Hopefully this was a fluke, can't say for sure! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Need this thanks.
That's good to hear - my pleasure! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
The old Dapol/Hornby Terrier had a number of problems, but the obvious one was that the body sat too high on the body and the buffers were also too high relative to the running plate. I was part-way through doing a fix-up of the old terrier as well as converting it to an Isle-of-Wight example with the extended bunker when this model was announced and subsequently released. So that is that for the conversion. The mechanism will go under a narrow-gauge O-16.5 loco and the body will probably get junked.
Yeah I've noticed that too - the old version is noticeably much much higher than this!
Thanks a lot for the comment,
Sam :)
Hope you had fun with your trains today sam
Thanks mate! I definitely did! :D
In real life the terriers are quite hard to drive because of the size of the cab but on a model it looks so good
Ahh is that so? I can imagine it being a bit of a squeeze! ;D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Excellent, really excellent
Thank you! :D
Lovely loco, one of my favourite tank engines, I do prefer pre grouping liveries though.
Thanks a lot George - yeah me too I think mate! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
My Hornby terrier arrived about a week ago now, I got the SR, 2662 Terrier as that's the one I'll be driving in real life soon. My model was in prefect condition and pickups where fine so I'm guessing you got a "damaged" model. I also believe that the BR black terriers where rushed to beat the Rails of sheffield Terrier.
That's good to hear - glad yours was much better! Could be - mind you, Rails still don't have theirs out yet!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I'm thinking about picking one of the new Centenary Year Limited Edition ones. I'm not too fond of how yours turned out, but I do like the Terriers and it would be cool to add a limited edition to my collection so early on (this would be my third loco).
Ahh sounds fantastic mate - I've seen other examples that are much better than mine - seems the factory are better at assembling these now ;)
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
@@SamsTrains Oh I am so glad to hear that!
maybe they released the black first so a less popular livery gets sold quickly it worked for me. the tall lamp irons were because the southern railway had two extra lamps in there head codes. looks good with those coaches they would have pulled similar trains on the hayling island branch. can't wait to see the a1 version in some more colourful liverys.
Yeah that certainly will be a factor, but I’m sure it would cause a bigger stir if they kicked off with one of the massively complex liveries! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)

Perfect for Stepney the "Bluebell" Engine.
Yes absolutely!! :D
That is a cracking Terrier! Do I need one at Dean Park?....hmmm I could be persuaded lol. Cheers. Dave
haha!! I'm sure one would fit into Dean Park just perfectly, haha!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Yes go for the others
Thanks for that! I'll be sure to look into it! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
Four bogie coaches is a bit more than prototypical for a Terrier, in preservation if nothing else.
At the K&ESR (which have owned and run the majority of preserved Terriers), they usually only haul the "vintage train", a rake of five coaches of different pre-Big 4 companies, all but one being four-wheel; or a rake of two MK1 coaches. A driver told me that the Wealden Pullman, currently a 4-coach rake, is too heavy for a Terrier, but two of those vehicles are Pullman cars which are a very heavy wooden construction and a third is Maunsell.
Thanks very much for the info on this Douglas, duly noted. So this model is roughly prototypical in it's pulling power then! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Yes it was a very good stress test :)
Will you be doing a three-way comparison between the two Hornby models and the Rails offering when it comes out?
