- To celebrate the channel hitting 3k subscribers, in this video I show you my entire 00 Gauge loco collection!
Hey everyone, I wanted to do another special video to celebrate the channel hitting 3,000 subscribers recently and a lot of you have been asking me to do a loco collection video, so I've finally gotten round to doing it.
In this video you'll see every 00 gauge loco I own, from the first engines I got as a kid to my Hornby Live Steam Mallard. There's quite a few locos I've never shown on the channel before too, so you'll definitely want to check this video out if you want a sneak peak of what's coming in the future.
Again thank you so much for helping the channel reach 3k Subscribers - whether you're a new subscriber or have been here since the very beginning. Thanks for watching!
Congrats 3k. (btw, you do not have a 'class 33' - it's a '31'.)
Thanks Michael! Ah good to know. It’s not my area of expertise really, made even more tricky given that it was passed down to me without any info really 😂 Thanks for watching 👍
I really wish more CZcamsrs did videos like this. I think a lot of people now have more locos than they are comfortable with showing!
Glad you enjoyed the video Ewan! I'll admit I didn't think people would be interested enough in seeing all my locos (does feel a bit like showing off!) but a few people asked for a collection video so I was happy to make it. Thanks for watching 😃
@@ThatModelRailwayGuy I just realized, the red 0-6-0 and the blue 08 have had their chassis swapped.
An impressive collection. Congratulations on 3000 subs at this rate you'll be on 10,000 by the end of the year :D
Thanks, it's certainly growing quickly! 10k may be a bit of a stretch but I'm more than happy to be proven wrong. Thanks for watching 😃
So, I've absorbed thousands of hundreds of hours of youtubers talking on the topic of model railways, taken in thousands of pages worth of bile about how railways are unaffordable.
Can I just say, in years of this, i mean literaly flipping years of this behaviour from youtubers you are the first person ever to admit publically that they had to save up as a child to buy a model or got one as a gift from a parent or grandparent as means of affording the "unaffordable" hobby.
Thank you for saying this even in passing and not just pretending that you could buy a model loco for 20p when you were a kid and have spare change to go out and buy a PC a mobile phone and 7 new outfits from addidas.
It begs belief that its taken this long and this much viewing to witness one, one solitary instance of someone saying "i had to save up for it".
🏆🏅👌
Interesting, that's really surprising that no-one else has said anything similar - but I guess I've never really stopped to think about it before. Models were cheaper when I was younger but - being a kid - I had less money than I do now so I had no choice but to save up for something if I really wanted it. Even though I'm now in a much more privileged position I think I've stuck with that mentality since returning to the hobby. Thanks for watching 😃
@@ThatModelRailwayGuy is a bit suprising isn't it, given the climate of people ranting about how the kids can't afford to just buy loco anymore... yet there it is, someome saying they had to save up, does rather run contrary to the narrative put forward by certain other youtubers as to then vs now. Likewise with this reply where you mention your are only in possession of such a collection and able to persue such a layout not out of it being a cheap hobby but out of good fortune one presumes through work or other means.
A rare glimpse of reality in a sea of nonsense stand points found on youtube about model railways.
Congrats on 3k...well, 11.5k! (I'm a little late)😄
Thanks Will, perhaps I'll have to do an update to this for 12k Subscribers since I seem to have accumulated a lot more locos over the last year! Thanks for watching 😃
Congrats for passing 3000 subscribers!
Thanks! It's so nice to see the channel and the community around it continue to grow. Thanks for watching 😃
4:01 I agree the austeritys look so good
Yep, it's a shame they're a bit unloved in this preservation era. The old Hornby/Dapol model still holds up in my opinion and all four remain some of best runners. Thanks for watching 😃
I do love a good J94! :D
Me too! Having grown up around heritage railways with plenty of J94's/Austerities about, they will always be special to me and the Hornby model is a joy to run! Thanks for watching 😃
Your a Thomas fan. I'm a big Thomas fan, I still play with Thomas Trackmaster from when I was little and I also have watched Harry potter though it came out long before I was born
Yeah I guess I am a Thomas fan, although I'm definitely not a expert on the lore or anything! But I was exactly the right age to enjoy the original model series when they first came out. You've definitely made me feel old with Harry Potter though! I remember being reading the books before the movies came out 😂 Thanks for watching 👍
@@ThatModelRailwayGuy I was born in 2006 and I watched the first movie when I was 8.
An impressive collection ,& even more impressive 3,000 subscribers well done.
4 j94s get in. Have to look around for a dj models one or get a EFE one.
Thanks Tom, glad you enjoyed the video. I have to admit all my J94's are Hornby ones. I've heard mixed things about the DJM ones and the EFE one is based on this too but just at a higher price... still maybe I should look into getting one to do a comparison. Thanks for watching 😃
impressive... every locomotive or set (Dmu HSt ) has a real place in your railway which is nice . 👍🏻
Thanks Neil. It would be nice to get some of the older less seen engines running on the layout sometime soon. Might have to look into that for a future video. Thanks for watching 😃
Such a nice video. Did not know you had 4 J94s. Such a cool collection and hoping to see more of the unseen ones running.
Thanks! Yeah the heritage railway I used to work on was practically run by J94s/Austerities at one point so I've always like them. It's helps that the Hornby model is a superb runner despite being over 20 years old at this point! Thanks for watching 😃
Well done 👍
Nice collection
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching 😃
Very nice collection and congrats at reaching 3000 subs - although notice you're already over 3.5k now!
Thanks! Yes it looks like I'll have to schedule another livestream for next week - by which time we might well have passed another milestone or two! Thanks for watching 😃
Congrats on 3k
Thanks! Can't quite believe how quickly the channel has grown in the last few months. Thanks for watching 😃
It's my pleasure your videos are very entertaining and informative
Very nice! Your channel is great! Your SE&CR Locos look great. Can't wait to see more.
P.s you've got another subsciber!
Thanks, really glad you're enjoying the videos! I love the SE&CR locos to, I really must do a running session with them sometime. Thanks for watching and subscribing 😃
That Hogwarts Castle loco you have is actually quite rare. Originally, when Hornby got the rights to make the model they thought it was an actual Castle when in actual fact it was a hall
I thought it was because Hornby didn’t actually make a Hall at the time so they used the Castle tooling instead since they figured most people wouldn’t notice 😅 Thanks for watching 👍
Looks amazing and I subscribed
Awesome, glad you enjoyed it Jacob. Thanks for watching and subscribing 😃
@@ThatModelRailwayGuy of course and I also have a model train set of the flying scotsman
Very good video!!! Impressive collection. What do you use to film?
Nice collection
Thanks, I have to admit it’s bigger than I realised! Thanks for watching 😃
You Make Awesome Videos!
Glad you enjoy them! Thanks for watching 😃
@@ThatModelRailwayGuy Thank You!

Fun fact,, on the Bluebell Railway the real #27 is nicknamed Primrose.
Yes it was and I think Hattons also did a version of this engine in Black with the name Primrose on the side. Hopefully we get to see the real engine back in service in the future. Thanks for watching 😃
@@ThatModelRailwayGuy Indeed.
Nice collection, Joe. Dean Goods ROD would be a fantastic addition. It's superb when it comes to pulling some massive rolling stock :D. Jokes aside - would be nice to see that Rocket on your layout one day (assuming you're happy to run it). 6-pin decoders on sale on Amazon... Jus saying :)
Blimey, I'll have to add that to the list along with the railgun! 😄
The plan is definitely to get Rocket on the layout soon, especially when I complete the circuit on the layout! Thanks for watching 👍
Congratulations on 3k! You have a lovely variety of locos. Were the J94’s from Hornby?
Thanks Harry! Yes the J94's were all Hornby one's. I got most of them over 15 years ago now so they've held up incredibly well and are still some of the best runners I own. Thanks for watching 😃
Nice collection you have there.
It's certainly an eclectic mix! 😂 I must try to cut to cut down on buying more locos in the future. Thanks or watching 👍
@@ThatModelRailwayGuy do what makes you happy, I wouldn't consider spending money on any hobby a waste as there is always a value attached to what you buy.
That NSE train is a Class 466 Networker, a type that's still running today.
Indeed it is! It's very similar to the trains I grew up seeing at my local station in this livery which is why I wanted this. Thanks for watching 😃
Congrats on 3k maybe a American loco next?
Maybe! Does a USA Dock Tank count? Or perhaps an S160 if someone announces one soon! Thanks for watching 😃
@@ThatModelRailwayGuy Yes, but something more iconic would be cool.
The blue class 33 represents an ETHEL, which were designed to provide train heating. The London Midland Region were the first sector of BR to start using electric train heating; early Diesel engines were fitted with steam boilers so older steam heating could still be used. Problems arose when the sleeper services ran into Scotland, as certain routes, such as the line to Fort William, were unsuitable for class 47s, and the class 37s used on the route were still set up for steam heating. The ETHELs were put together as a solution, and were towed as part of the train to keep the passengers warm. They even saw use on rail tours, so perhaps its non-functioning status is actually more appropriate? 🤔
Ah brilliant! Now that you've said it that rings a bell - aren't Heljan working on the 33's and ETHEL? Thanks for watching 😃
Maybe the H2 and B1 should be seen on your layout livestreams maybe even the newer scotsman doing a railtour
That's definitely the plan - just need to get a few more decoders now that I actually have a layout I can run them on! Thanks for watching 😃
You should get a bachmann GNR or LNER C1 Atlantic and the LNER version will look great with your 6 wheel coaches
They would look great! Never say never, I got the Bachmann H2 for a very good price so if I see the C1 going for something similar I may give in. Thanks for watching 😃
1. How can I join the Hornby club?
2. How did you get models from them? Do you buy them or are they given to you?
Hi there, just head over to the Hornby website and look for The Collector (that's the name of the club) and you can sign up from there. They give you the club loco for that year but obviously you have to pay to join and get the other benefits. The other exclusive locos, like the H Class in my case, you have to pay for but you get at a slight discount. Thanks for watching 😃
Its easy to mistake a class of diesel, I'm always getting 33's and 26/27's wrong If looking from the front with no jumper cables. However it is a class 31 you have, with it being blue I'd say it's an older Triang version. Hope this is of some help
Also what a collection. Mine is simply steam and all 2nd hand which I prefer as with current prices it's hard to justify a new purchase....although might be tempted with the dapol prairie when released
Haha, yeah I just had a few other comments telling me it was actually a class 31 too. As is probably evident from the rest of my collection, diesels are not really my strong point 😂 Thanks for watching 👍
Where can we get good quality (running and detail) j94 locomotives now?
Hmm, this is a tricky one. The Hornby ones are fantastic runners but they are older models. The detail isn't terrible (it's actually incredible given how old they are) but it's not Super Detail. That said they are relatively simple engines so it's easier to get away with it.
On the other hand the ex-DJM now EFE branded J94's have better detail in some ways but I've heard lots of people have had issues with the running. It sounds a bit hit and miss on whether you get a good one or not and don't forget it's much more expensive than the Hornby version too.
Unfortunately there isn't really a clear answer to this as it comes down to what each individual deems acceptable. For me the Hornby ones hold up to close scrutiny and their slow running ability makes them one of my favourite models to run.
Sorry for the essay but hope that helps and thanks for watching 😃
@@ThatModelRailwayGuy seems like the Hornby ones are the way to go. Do they still produce them or must you buy them second hand?
How much dust on them
Yeah I know! 😅 Believe it or not every engine was lightly dusted before being filmed but it's amazing how the camera shows up every little speck in the areas you've missed. Thanks for watching 👍
The lms tank engine is a jinty
Indeed it is! I have to be honest I thought I'd mentioned that in the video but obviously not 😃 Thanks for watching 👍
It’s not a virgin class 04, I believe it’s a class 07
Not a class 07, but a class 06.
Ah you know what, it's the 2004 Club Model - that's why I got it mixed up. My bad! Thanks for watching 😃
not got many then
I'm sure I'll find room for a few more 😆 Thanks for watching 👍
