Previous Deeley 3F Running: • Tri-ang Super 4 Three ...
Thanks for looking at todays video. I found a couple of nice Tri-ang Hornby R.251 0-6-0 3F locos. In this video I see if I can get one out of long term storage and up and running on the Super 4 mainlines. Thanks for watching
Thanks for sharing these wonderful models with us.....👍👍
Be careful with the wasp nest...
Thanks for watching , I'm always careful around waspies, especially after I accidentally strimmed the top off a nest once, they attacked and stung me in the head. Best regards to you
@@MrSnooze Lucky they didn't sting anything important then, eh?...lol...I tell people my mother told me if I fell over I should always to try and land on my head. That way I wouldn't damage anything useful...
Cowardice is the better part of valour where bugs with stingers are concerned! I walked over a nest in the ground as a kid, they gave chase? & were inside my clothes! 8 stings! on top of 3 the week before! Another good informative Vid. Mr S🤤👏👏👍👍
That's far too many stings for my liking, I'm still observing the nest but I think it's safe to have a go at it now. All the best to you
Lovely model ,they were built to last. The good old days 🙂regular maintenance and they will run well. Richard
I agree with all that you say. 57 years old and still great to run. Best regards to you
Very good runner,works a treat .
Thanks, it's a great loco, all the best to you
Good to see the Triang Hornby c1960s 1970s (British made) demonstrated on a decent layout.
Thanks, I'm glad you like seeing these older items in action. All the best to you
Love these 3Fs alongside the Jintys
I agree, these are a true Tri-ang classic. Take care, all the best to you
The 3F tender locomotives in maroon look great on you railway, Transfer on the cab side was very delicate on those and seems to be very susceptible to damage. Very impressive wasps nest..

Thanks for watching Oscar, I always have liked these little locos, they are good looking items. All the best to you
👍
Thanks for watching 🙂
Nice work.
Great to see them running together.
I always found my Black earlier model was a great little runner too.
Such a joy to see them. The red livery really is stunning.
Stay safe.

I like the black livery too Mon, I shall have to sort one out for a run. Take care, best regards to you
Fantastic looking locomotive Mr Snooze, your not going to get much closer to brand new condition than that and it’s around 5 years older than me. It’s also good to see your not afraid to give it a run.
I was going to suggest a bit of cleaning fluid on a piece of paper for the pickups and you mention the method yourself.
Thanks for sharing. Cheers Rob.
Thanks for watching Rob, that paper method works really well I've found. Take care, best regards to you
The modern day Hornby Railroad boxes seem to echo these old Tri-ang/Hornby ones...
That's interesting to hear, I bet the modern boxes look great with the more advanced materials and printing techniques. Thanks for looking, all the best to you
Such an attractive loco and to see it in as-new condition is a treat. Quite interesting to see the lovely packing and the pre-painted crew as well, a nice touch. The peeling decal made me nervous. I was thinking that a drop of Humbrol decal fix (or similar) on a fine paint brush to soften it would lay it flat again and revive the decal adhesive. Nice running session at the end. 😊
I like your thinking on that decal, when I'm feeling brave I might try to save it using that method. Thanks for watching, all the best to you
@@MrSnooze Yes, definitely have to be in the right frame of mind 😊
Nice to see the 3F out on the rails. I take it the TV suppressor is in the sleeve at the back of the magnet?
Indeed it is, It's a very small capacitor on this item, thanks for watching, all the best to you
Do they have that fruity, ozone, electrical, marmite sort of smell I remember so fondly?
Quite a lot of the time yes, even more so if over oiled and it gets on the commutator. Best regards to you
Excellent ! I’ve got a black one somewhere waiting patiently for a new layout.
I’ve noticed that you’ve got the south end of the hump yard connected back to the mainline. Is it operational now ?
There was a video some weeks ago showing a bit of hump shunting action, there is some functionality now and I'm hoping to sort the rest soon. Best regards to you
You would swear it had never been out of the box
It does look like new and that's pretty cool for something made 57 years ago. All the best to you
