Good and fair review Sam
I THINK that thing behind the dome is a steam powered bell. By law in the UK any loco that ran on tramway type tracks where rails are embedded in public roads, had to carry a warning bell. Normally this was mounted on the front buffer beam and rang by a string and pully system from the cab, although the GWR in their docks around Newport and Swansea gave the crews a hand bell in the cab and it was the firemans job to hang out the side and ring it like ballyhoo when the loco was crossing or running along public roads. However the LSWR at Southampton and a few other places like Plymouth did experiment with a steam opperated bell, controlled from the cab for a while, and I think that is what that might be. I think this was removed under Southern ownership and I've not seen any of these in photos of them in latr Southern or BR livery with the steam bell fitted.
Also those weird nem pocket things in the accessory pack are special couplings so it can still pull wagons around very very very tight curves, maybe as tight as 10" radius. (Such tight curves are prototypical of many dock lines and factory sights
As for the axle play - One of the problems of 0-4-0 models is that they very rarely have all four wheels in contact with the track, you will always get one wheel a tiny bit clear of the rail. Scratchbuilders for years have got around this by giving the chassis a bit of compensated suspension which makes sure all wheels are in contact with the rails at all times. I think thats what Dapol are doing here, and as it is very unusual, if not unique for a r-t-r brand to even attempt this, its gonna seam abit weird.
Shame about her lack of grunt, in real life one of the things the prototypes did was as pilot loco at Southampton Passenger terminal, where they had to move 8+ coach boats train stock around, and they also used to haul 30 wagon trains from the docks to the marshalling yards at Milbrooke. Infact the B4's were on the most powerful 0-4-0ts in the UK and it wasn't until WW2 and the arrival of the USA tanks that the Southern found anything to compare with them in Southampton Docks, but even then a few were kept on cos they could handle the REALLY tight curves the USAs couldn't.
Any keep up the great work
Jon
Hey Jon!
Thanks a lot for the info! Supposedly the thing behind the dome is an oil filter - because the water at the docks was so foul - that's what another commenter said anyway!
Ahh duly noted on the couplings - I haven't seen those before, but it sounds very clever!
And again, thanks for the tip on the wheelset - that does make sense!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
@@SamsTrains I think he could well be right,
Sam I believe the extra play in the one driving axle is to add a touch of triangulation to improve power collection. With such a short wheelbase any minor track deficiencies would have the loco jerking and stopping constantly. By having one axle having leeway it allows maximum contact with the railheads at any one time. Cheers mukka. Gaz
Many thanks for sharing Gary, I bet you're right there!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
This is my new favroute channel its so interesting and just fun to watch Ive always wanted a room just like yours with a big railway
Thanks so much mate, that's really kind of you - really glad you liked the videos! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Great review as always Sam, I got my B4 last year ad they’re one of my all time favourites and so far she’s been a sweetheart. FYI the thing on the boiler behind the dome is the linseed oil filter. These were fitted to the Southampton dock tanks as the water supply was so foul!
Thanks very much for the comment Iain - really glad you like the B4! Blimey I did not know that about the oil filter - thanks a lot for the info!
Cheers,
Sam :)
Hey Sam!
Awesome video and nice unboxing & review!
Keep up the good content/work!
Love your videos!
Roy :D
Hey Roy, thanks a lot for your kind words mate,
Sam :)
This is definitly my favorite locomotive.
Ooh very good choice - it is lovely! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Absolutely love the engine ! Looks fantastic.
Thank you Stephen - really glad you liked it!
Cheers,
Sam :)
Great video. Here in Chicago we are having a snow storm. High winds, lots of drifting. I'm inside running my trains & having a cup of tea. Doesn't get much better.
Blimey John, be careful and take care of yourself - hope all is well! Sounds like you're having a good time out of it though!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
What a cute little engine to start off 2019! It’s sooo adorable!
Thank you!! I agree - it really is cute!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
This was an amazing review Sam! Well done! 👍 :D
Thanks so much Kameron, that's very kind of you! :3
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Liking the new visuals, Sam! Happy 2019! Can't wait to see the rankings fill-up this year!
haha thanks mate! Ooh me too - can't wait for them to fill up! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Wow! That looks like a really interesting little 0-4-0T!
Thanks mate, I agree - very interesting indeed! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
2 reviews in a new year so far and not such bad models yet!
Yep! We're doing pretty well so far!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Hi Sam, I read your review before buying a B4 recently (at a great discount!) and would like to make two comments. Firstly, my model, at least, has a five-pole skew-wound motor. Perhaps Dapol have changed them in later production models. But perhaps more important is the mounting of the front driving wheels axle. You point out that the wheels are have a lot of movement up and down. The reason is that this is a very advanced design, even by modern standards, as that axle has three bearings on it. The centre one takes the load and provides three-point compensation so that all four wheels remain on the track no matter how poorly it is laid thus ensuring all wheels pick up power at all times.
A very fair review. Before viewing I was for the yellow model, but your brown-umber is very convincing. Thanks for your contributions: could not purchase models without you!!
Thanks so much Christopher - really appreciate that - yeah these are good looking little models!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Just got one, the Sussex Yellow version.
Have yet to run her but already love her!
I looks amazing. Great video Sam 👍🏻👍🏻😁
Thanks a lot mate - I do like the look of this loco! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Awesome video today Sam love the loco
Thanks so much James, really glad you liked it! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
I like those transitions
THank you!! :D
Fair review of a nice small steam loco.
Thanks Norbert! :D
I have the early BR one and it runs like a dream.
Great to hear that Daz - they're certainly not too bad! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Beautiful! I am thinking about getting the Bachmann London Transport pannier tank, but now I've seen this I'm not sure. Great video!
Ooh sounds good! Always so difficult to decide on these things!! :O
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
clanline35028 go with the pannier tank, I picked mine up just over a week ago and it’s a fantastic engine.
Im thinking about the pannier, but only because I've ridden behind L94 before. Another to add to my wish list.
@@georgeyoung1210 same, I went to record the little loco blasting over the Dartmouth Steam Railway. Made for a great video (barring wind noise)
@@StaxRail yes that's where I went on it, in August. Went to Kingswear on it and back on 6023
I have not seen you in a while lol....... good to be back Sam.
haha thanks mate - it's very good to be back!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
It is a very smart looking loco, pulling power does seem to let it down a little compared to the others you showed but I guess it is for light shunting duties so shouldn't cause too many problems.
I have to say I'm with you on the brown livery, there is just something about it that looks so nice.
Thanks a lot Rob, yes agreed - there's definitely something about that livery, love it!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Very nice review Sam :D
Thanks a lot mate! :D
@@SamsTrains No problemo chap
Great review Sam! I also love the brown livery on this loco. It makes it look a bit elegant. I think your ratings were spot on too. Only if there was more metal instead of plastic the model could've been an 8 or an 8.5. Keep up the great work! Can't wait for you to hit 40,000 subscribers!
Thanks a lot mate - glad you thought the ratings were okay anyway, appreciate it mate! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I have two of these and they are superb runners. Good work Dapol I think they are worth 9.
Love it, great review. God bless you.
Thanks so much - glad you liked it!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
A nicely done review Sam. I had tried to get No.96 in model form and eventually got one in the summer when on holiday. Unfortunately I had to send it back as some of the separately fitted parts under the running board weren't fitted at all.
Ahh really sorry to hear that Paul - yes I wasn't overly impressed with this one either - I did notice that the assembly left quite a bit to be desired!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
What a cute little engine!
THank you Kris! :D
It looks great!!
Thank you!! :D
Our B4 has been fixed :) I remember an old Bachmann J72 of mine fell apart when the nuts loosened and suffered mangled valve gear on bigger engines so I do not envy you fixing that Coronation :)
That's good to hear Stephen - what was the matter with it? Ahh yeah those J72s are quite typical for failures like that, lol! ;D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Great video Sam it looks like a great loco
Thanks a lot David - glad you liked the look of it! :3
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Looks really nice Sam! I have bought the Bachmann permantet way set as well DCC sound class 20!
Thanks a lot mate! Ooh that's awesome - I bet that's amazing! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
ive got the dapol club edition LSWR livery one and love it she does her job i found that coreless motors work realy well on guagemaster controlers (somthing you could look into) and im not shure if you coverd it but there is a firebox glow in her on dc you need to go over a serton speed but o
its a realy nice effect
great review as always and look forward to the rest of your videos in 2019.
Ahh that's good to hear - I bet that LSWR livery looks great! Yes they will work best of all on the Gaugemaster controllers, since those don't use feedback - I might have to try one!
Sadly I didn't notice the glow until after the review - it only works at full speed (or close to full speed) so it's not a feature I can really use on DC :/
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Must say, I do like the flickering firebox light, a feature I’ve only seen once before on the old Hornby tender drive 28xx, whether any other models have this feature I don’t know? I managed to pick my B4 up at the great electric train show for only £79.50! Keep up the good work with the channel Sam!
Yes!! To be honest though, the light only turns on when the loco runs at nearly top speed.... so I filmed the whole review without seeing the light at all! After I'd finished filming, I sped it up, and it came on! So great for DCC users, but not much use to me on DC :/
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
A very nice 040 loco Sam!
Thank you Marco! :D
I love your trains and how you bring life to your collection. This feels like what a train set is supposed to be. however, I'm the type of guy who loves whistles and smoke along with a large size, so Lionel tends to be my go-to for train sets, along with Bachmann. I'm just a big kid with the sets, set them up in my living room, play with them. I think I'd like to try out European and UK sets.
Thanks so much Joshua - really glad you like the way I do it! Great to hear you have fun with them too! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
That is cool sam!
Thank you Justin! :D
I love those Kit Kat box/goods vans
Thanks a lot Mayo - me too!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I love this pretty little thing. Its wheelbase does look strange with the overhang at the back. I'm quite interested in the "Guernsey" one that's coming out in late March. It has such an unusual cab design and is my favourite colour.
haha thanks Damian - it certainly is a strange one for sure!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Great review! I have been following your channel for a long time and it is stunning. I wish i could get it the hobbit, but I live in the USA, so everything is much more expensive.
I meant hobbie
Ahh sorry to hear that mate - I know how expensive the US models are :(
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I like it and presumably weight can be added which might improve performance.
I haven't had this open yet, but presuming there's enough space, you could add some extra weight!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
She looks very nice! Never knew that there were two, I only thought that Normandy No.96 was the only one. Thanks
Thanks a lot mate - it is great that more than one survived! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
My b4 has a light up firebox and it can also pull 4 mk1 coaches up a slight uphill gradient
Great video.
Daniel:)
Yes mine does too actually - but it only comes on at full speed (or close to!)
Blimey - yours does well to pull that much!!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Love the loco I agree the brown is an interesting livery I don't know if I told you I so think the rating system is great
Thanks very much George, and really glad you liked the new rating system! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I really wish the makers would include multiple running numbers with the accessory pack, it wouldn't add much to the cost and you could have more than one of the same loco. Happy new year Sam.
Yeah that would be good actually - there was a time when manufacturers would do that - I have a few with a choice of numbers!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
that is a very lovely lil pug/shunter engine, in brown too very nice 70's colours, seems more a narrow gauge engine then hornby 00 sized track,
Thanks mate! I agree - it does look very narrow-gauge-esque!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I love the B4 Tank Engine mate. Does look nice & stylish. I love all the 0-4-0 locos mate. I noticed the Smokey Joe & Caledonian Belle on your layout mate. Although I now do n gauge, I recently treated meself to the Hornby Country Flyer train set from Hatton's mate. And why not!!👍🚂🚃🚃🚃🚄🚉😁👍
Me too - definitely a nice stylish model! Ooh that's awesome - hope you enjoy the Country flyer! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Hi Sam, nice to see I love these. Designed only as a dock shunter, 10 wagons? well maybe. Mine can pull four coaches. The up and down play on the wheel set is to allow it to maintain contact with the track for continuity. But you missed a big feature!!! Get her running and look in the firebox :)
Thanks a lot Mike! I know 10 wagons is a bit much - but my point was that for the price, it ought to have been heavier!
Yes I missed the glowing firebox during the review - but only because mine doesn't work unless she's running at close to full speed, which isn't something I like to do!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I do love dapol. The factory is about 10 miles away from me and their staff are so friendly and the shop has thousands of different kits you can buy either pre made or ones you can make yourself
Ahh that's very interesting! Where abouts is their factory then??
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
@@SamsTrains it's in chirk by Wrexham my wife and I go there every so often lots of rolling stock in 00 there but they seem to be producing mainly n gauge and 0 gauge there
Cute model! Very successful shutters! Good to have 2 preserved!
Thanks Ryno - I'd love to see one of the preserved ones! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Mmmm, I like Coronation coaches in the intro! Also, stunning loco!
Thank you Tom! Glad you liked the loco too! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Great review. Be good to see a short follow up with some extra weight inside the body to show how it improves the performance.
Thanks a lot Edward - that would be good, though I don't know how much free space is in there - it is a tiny model!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Great video and I loved the libe streams i was in ont of them
Thanks so much Jayson! Ooh very nice - glad you enjoyed those and got a shoutout! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
This is one for my industrial layout... though money is tight as my layout fun stands at about 50p after I bought the new Hornby 14xx
Ooh blimey! You'll have to start saving again then, haha! ;D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Personaly a nice engine, hope I get it oneday
Thanks Liam - I hope you do too! :3
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Nice review Sam
I agree that the power, slow speed and cheap areas let it down, but from what I could see the cab (especially the regulator) looks beautiful
George
Thanks a lot George - yeah for the price I couldn't help expecting more, though it's definitely not bad looking!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Such a beauty! Dapol did a pretty good job!
Went to a Train Show today Sam, it’s run by my Club (Brambleton Model Railway Club) It was lots of fun, I’ll be uploading a video on it soon!
James ;)
Thanks so much James - yeah it's definitely not too bad! Ooh awesome - glad you had a good time, looking forward to the video! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Very pretty livery. Another one for a micro layout. Sweeet
Thanks a lot mate, absolutely!! :D
4 wheel tankies + cylinder= glory!
haha absolutely right! :D
Hi ,Im from Germany and I love your channel
Hey Phil, greetings from the UK, really glad you like my channel!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Adorable loco!
Thank you! :D
Its about time
I know!! :D
Yes, the 'thing' behind the dome is called a 'filtrator'. It adds linseed oil to the boiler feed water - hence the top-feed pipes on either side. Salts in the water, which would otherwise form damaging scale, are thereby converted to a soft sludge which can easily be washed out. They were fitted in 1927-29, only on the Southampton Docks engines, and disconnected around 1938 after the water quality improved - though not all were removed. The Drummond-built engines had them in front of the dome.
The Southampton Dock Company was purchased by the LSWR outright in 1892.
That's very interesting David, had never heard that before! Please excuse my ignorance, and thanks for the info!
Cheers,
Sam :)
Great loco review I really do like the loco in model form I wish I could get one but that's not so easy when you live in Western Australia but any way great review and know you should realise why my user name has Normandy in it! Can't wait for the next review/video!!
Thanks a lot Arthur - ahh sorry to hear these are harder to get where you are! :/
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I live in Western Australia good buddy... as backward as the place is, Hattons delivers to my door quite regularly with no issues what so ever. Give them a go... tell them Gary sent you!
The preserved B4s are Normandy and Granville
Ahh duly noted, thanks for the info! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
The rock on the front axle is following the principle of 3 point compensation. Rear axle is fixed and the front rocks to enable the locomotive to traverse any dips in the track and improve electrical pick up. Whether it is needed or not, depends on how flat your track is!
Many thanks for sharing this - very interesting! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Great vid sam this is so good for an 0-4-0 its so cool . James
Thanks a lot James - yeah it actually wasn't too bad!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Another great review Sam....have to admit that I rather like this engine.....and like you love the brown colour....as a Shunter on the layout I think this will be OK...cheers, Myles.
Thanks a lot Myles, i have to admit that too - I do quite like this!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Hi Sam I love Brown engines.
I am planning on painting my class 25 into a police livery and als painting matching coaches
Thanks a lot Lewis! That sounds awesome - do upload a video when it's done!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Ey up, he’s got new slippers for Xmas 😂. Nice to see a dapol tank engine. Pleasant change. Nice one Sam mate.
haha yep - absolutely right! And a very pleasant change - enjoyed doing a dapol review for once!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Haha. Us viewers miss nothing you know. Yh I agree. Nice little loco.
I think it’s a good looking model i own some model trains there brown nice colour great video as usual
Cheers mate! Yeah I love the brown too - just lovely really!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Hmmm... now that you mention it, you're right about brown. It does look surprisingly good on small locos. Color aside, the form of the loco is attractively quaint.
haha I really think it does - I really like it! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Bill Oddie would call it a LBJ aka little brown job (usually in reference to small feathered flying things). Good to see you supporting a smaller UK company! I like it and it is era 2.....
haha!! Yes indeed - these are pretty good overall! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
WOW lovely engine
=D
Thank you!! :D
The rocking front axle will be to aid pickup on uneven track while the fixed rear axle keeps the model stable. Its usually something kit builders will consider but other RTR models have come with what is called compensation, such as Hornbys Rebuilt Merchant Navy pacific and it usually does improve matters. This model seems to be a hangover from DJMs days with Dapol though, just simplified a little over Dave Jones' usual over complex disappointing plastic tat.
Duly noted, thanks a lot for the info! I suppose I was wrong to criticise that then! I certainly did get a whif of the 'Dave Jones Design' from this, which is very interesting!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
You should try a pulling power test on your Peckett. Mine managed 20+ wagons with no slip, even at slow speed! Completely agree with your points on this loco. Great video, as always :)
Okay William - I can try that some time - thanks a lot for your comment!
Cheers,
Sam :)
Hey Sam, can you please do a video about your layout in general? I really want to hear about why you picked that layout design and about the scenery you added.
haha yeah sure! Check out my railway room tour - just search that on CZcams! It all happened very slowly over time - so I don't really remember making specific decisions! ;D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Now that’s a livery I can get behind, love this little 0-4-0 definitely need to get one of these.
Will you be looking at the hornby J83 this year?
Absolutely - it really is a good looking livery! I already reviewed the Hornby J83 - check out my review if you like! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Apparently the chassis from this loco is a good fit under the old Triang "Polly" locos, which would make for a good bashing project.
22:25
"Pullback, Pullback! " shouted the troublesome trucks
haha!! xD
Nice video Sam , I have the Southern railway lined green version and the seam on the chimney on mine can barely be seen , I don’t think yours has been finished properly . David
Thanks a lot mate - ooh that sounds fantastic in SR green! Interesting that the chimney looked better on yours - I guess whoever assembled mine must have been a new employee ;D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Wow, I was expecting that this would be an exceptional model, such a shame it couldn't live up to the standard of its Hornby and Hattons counterparts. Great first review of the year Sam, the name of the loco Caen is actually pronounced Cane. looking forward to seeing what you will be reviewing next year.
MDHGames no I haven’t yet actually, maybe I should do a little more research before I open my mouth 😉
Thanks a lot Callum - pay no attention to our tyrant Marcus! Hope you'll enjoy what's coming next! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
The noise could be due to the controller and the coreless motor not agreeing. The loose front axle is a form of compensation to keep the axle on the rails. As its an 0-4-0 uneven track could of course lift a couple of wheels off the rails so the axle is given more movement to keep it contacting level. The mould line on the chimney is sadly just a bit of poor toolmaking, overpacking the plastic in the mould causing flash or lack of part QA before assembly.
Yes that probably is the reason - this is exactly why I don't like coreless motors - I can't see the point! Thanks for the info on the loose axle though - that makes sense!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
For some reason it looks like they took the lower half and cab of a Peckett and put the front of a Jinty on it, still looks good, especially in that livery.
haha yeah, it does look like that actually! Still quite a nice loco though! :3
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I love it. Can you please do more races?
Sure Nicholas - I can do more races! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
They were used in Southampton docks until replaced with USA tanks. They were also seen in Plymouth.
Thanks for this info Don, appreciate it!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I enjoy your reviews and the practical tests with slow running and Gordon's hill being an excellent comparison test. Thanks Don
This little B4 is the ultimate for trouble free running
It does run very well, I must say! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Hi Sam, Thanks for another great review. I have one of these locos in BR Black and it is one of my best runners. Two points I would like to make though are firstly I thinks you are a little unfair in always trying to run any new loco very slowly without letting it run in for 30 minutes at least, in each direction. Secondly I think if you were using a Gaugemaster Combi or similar controller you may get better, smoother and slower running especially with modern locos like the B4 etc. Cheers and keep up the good work.
My pleasure Stephen - really glad yours is a good runner for you! I know what you're saying - but as you saw, I did let the loco run in before testing the slow speed for the second time, so I think I was perfectly fair there.
That's true - the gaugemaster controllers will work better with coreless motors. But I don't use a gaugemaster controller. It is incumbent on manufacturers to produce models that work well on all popular controllers - and 5-pole can motors are the way to do this.
I use the HM2000 which is one of the most commonly used DC controllers!
Thanks again for the comment,
Sam :)
the wheels may be compensated which is meant to help it over points as it keeps all wheels on the track as much as possible but it clearly didn't work but at least it has realistic pulling power.
Yes I think that's probably true - yeah the pulling power was fairly realistic I suppose, though that's no excuse for such a light model. Also - I'm fairly sure they'd happily manage 10 empty wagons in real life!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
@@SamsTrains yes I may be wrong thinking of it as the bluebell used to us theirs for carriage shunting which may involve pulling several mk1s at a time but for. other 0-4-0s a mk1 is a heck of a task.
A very good review, Sam. Caen was a very nice model in my opinion, with wonderfull detailing and a lot of character. But it could be better in quality, and in power (because in real life the B4 was known to be a strong type of locomotive). However, despite its flaws, it doesn't ruin the model and it is something I would buy. Anyways, hope you're having a nice day and I'll see you soon.
Thanks a lot mate, yep that's right - not bad, but could have been better in terms of quality!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Another 0-4-0 running session would be great! I'd love to see a Pullman running session, using locos that come in the hornby Pullman sets, and just other engines that look great pulling Pullman coaches.
That would be great actually - I'll have to try that some time!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Sam'sTrains no problem!
No you showed us your dapol track cleaner. I think that is the safety valve
Oh that's true! I'd forgotten that!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Will you be reviewing the 0 gauge version Dapol announced in March 2021 as well? I think it'll fit your 0 gauge collection nicely!

My birthday is on the 29th
I think this will be on my wishlist
Thanks mate! Ooh fantastic - have an amazing birthday on the 29th! :D

Nice Bullman Shirt.
haha thanks John! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
24:52 Hi Miles! also the Terrier was the odd one out
haha Miles says hi to you too - and well spotted on the Terrier!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Good job, this is one of the better ones, other than that, it was cool!
Thanks a lot mate!! one of the better Dapol locos is it??
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Yes, and I need no thanks, you are a great channel and when I get a PayPal account, I will try to support dude. 🙂👍
You said that the caen doesn't stop on the express point but the hatton's.....!
Also this loco wasn't quite as perfect as I thought, but I usually just go for loooks
Yeah it doesn't stop too badly on the points, at higher speeds at least!
This definitely wasn't too bad!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Hornby are releasing a new Terrier which is the Kent and East Sussex Railway A1 Terrier Rolvenden which I am really tempted by.
Absolutely - it's a very tempting price, for sure! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
For sure and no problem.
