Thanks Oscar, yet more Dublo wagons I should probably look out for! I did get a mail coach the other day, very cheap in great condition.
Good morning Paul, great to hear you've got the mail coach they're beautiful item, Glad you liked the look of these wagons I can't believe it's taken me so long to get around to using them. But that one of the reasons I was quite keen to try and get the 3- Rail down so I was able to use some of the items I've had sitting in boxes for far too long, inevitably, though, I have now bought a few extras here and there, I was at TCS show in Leicester last weekend I couldn't help but come away with some lovely wagons.
All the best.
Oscar
Really interesting video Oscar love them wagons to.All the best.👍
A whole 40 minutes and not one Tri-ang model turned a wheel. lol. Great running from the Duchess and the standard tank. The wagons, a type I don't recall seeing before, looked fantastic as a rake carrying those wooden beams. Regards, David.
Wasn't the B12 right at the beginning a Triang model?
@@OOElectronics Yes, of course it was. I got called away and it was over two hours from the time I watched the video until I commented. My mistake.
Evening David, there should be plenty of Tri-ang bits and pieces in next Sundays video including the B12, Glad you like the look of the wagons, can't believe it took me so long to get them on the rails.
All the best.
Oscar
Thank you Oscar for another pleasant start to a Sunday. Those wooden coffee stirrers are easy to cut and shape and make an interesting load on that type of wagon.
Morning Jules, thanks for watching and the tip. I shall keep that in mind.
All the best.
Oscar
Hi there Oscar ,, another gr8 video there m8. All the trains i have been getting in the last 12 months or so i have given them all them a good clean with cotton buds or tips and i use the generic home brand surface cleaner that you use on benchtops and stoves and sinks. I usually do a test on the painted surfaces first to see if the cleaner is going to affect the paint or not and then just go at it until my eyes get sore or i have had enough of cleaning for the night. Ive found it gets rid of dust dirt oil residue and nicotine stains off old trains and dry and dry it with a clean cotton buds or a tissue to clean up the bits that are still wet form the clean.
I have a process of of giving the carriages or loco's a good brush down with a soft brissle brush the give it a going over with a manky brush (old shaggy toothbrush and the shaggier the better).
I have this big long toothbrush that is from the 1960's and it works a treat. After that i clean all the trains roof sides and underneath i clean and polish the wheels with metho and that gets the wheels grime and dirt off them really good. Then i oil the axle boxs axles or pin points and then put a drop or 2 on all the moving parts like the hooks the centre pivot between the bogie and the carriage then laslty give the wheels a good spin and adjust the back to back wheel width if needed.
The word you are looking for is corrosion or electrolysis beetween the alloy and the steel and is a common thing that iv seen in the last 30 or so years of owning a scrap metal business. The steel has a reaction to the alloy or die cast and corrodes each other out so if a boat is getting built it has to be all alloy construction as in the welds. I have seen old ally boats i have picked up for scrap that have used steel bolts on alloy and has rotted the alloy into a fine white powder but it does make it easier to clean up the alloy for scrapping of it.
Anyhoo thanks again for the gr8 videos you do for us all.
Cheers from John in Australia.
Good morning John, thanks again for looking in and detailed information on the process is used for cleaning. I quite enjoy the cleaning and light renovation of these older models and find it very rewarding.
All the best.
Oscar
Good ‘verbally video here Oscar, a nice rake of wagons that you have there, need to look into getting more wagons myself, those loads you made for them looked really good especially the wood loads, nice seeing the dublo Duchess of Atholl running again, think I have mentioned before that I have a converted 2 rail model of that locomotive, keep up the great work Oscar.
Thank you David. Glad you enjoy that, I was very pleased with the way loads looked on the wagons.
All the best.
Oscar
Thank you Oscar for another entertaining and informative video, you are a must watch for me, often imitated but never equalled.
Oxidisation? is that even a word .... thanks for brightening Sunday mornings Oscar.
Yes it is.
Yes, it is a word. And as gently as can be, it is spelled oxidation.
@@WhatAboutTheBee As gently as can be, oxidisation is the correct English spelling while oxidation is the correct American spelling for the same chemical process.
@@trainsontuesday Fair enough!
@@trainsontuesday As an American who appreciates OO English Railways, I plead guilty!!
Excellent. Nice wagons and good to see how you clean them. The Duchess looks superb with a decent load. The mail van on the back is just right.
Just caught a whiff of the distinctive smell those point motors give off... just by looking at it. Thanks for another great vid.
Thanks Oscar. The timber wagons look great and very interesting to see how you cleaned them up and fitted loads. Always a treat to see your railway, thanks again.
Hi Peter, glad you enjoyed that. Thanks for watching and kind words,
Oscar
Hi from Glasgow Scotland 🏴 Good morning to you Oscar and thanks for the great video 📹 of your three Rail Hornby stuff Thanks again for the video 📹 all the Best from Glasgow
Good morning Cameron, thank you again for looking in. Glad you enjoyed having a look over these Hornby Dublo items.
Take care.
Oscar
Always love seeing your train videos, thanks for sharing these, J
When I had my Hornby Dublo system, I had 3 Duchess class, one in LMS red, one in LMS black and the 3rd in BR green. They were great looking locomotives. The only fault I found was that the rear 2 wheel truck had a tendency to de-rail, when proceeding backwards through points in the loco shed/yard area. I never had any trouble with the A4’s, or the Standard 4 tank, or the 0-6-2 tanks. There are several Dublo layouts which can be seen on CZcams. I greatly enjoy watching them all, but I always look to see what you are doing first! Kindest regards from Christopher in sunny (today) Sussex.
Interested to hear about that LMS black loco (Wrenn perhaps)
@@ldb281 Having seen a photo of Sir William Stanier in the cab of 6256 (at the naming of the loco I believe?), I wanted a Duchess in the late period LMS black, with broad, maroon centre lining, with a fine, straw yellow edging.
I got an old, much play worn, Duchess of Montrose at a toy fair, and stripped the body back to bare metal, and resprayed it with Halfords car paint. I bought some transfers of the lettering and numbers and had a go at it!
This was back in 1999 and it was possible to pick up Dublo bodies which had been refinished, some quite skilfully.
I also had a BR blue Duchess and an 0-6-2 tank. I also attempted to convert a Hornby A3 to three rail, but it lacked the weight to pull more than 2 coaches! Watching the splendid videos that Oscar does, I am tempted to run a bit of Dublo, but I lack the space. At the moment I am content to run 1970 to 1990 trains (Hornby, mainline, triang, airfix, wren etc in my loft space.
Thanks Christopher for watching and kind words. I had a few derailments running the duchesses through the curve & point near the engine shed near the sper that goes off to the turntable initially when I was putting the track down I lifted, adjusted, relayed the track slightly differently on a couple of occasions, I've hit upon a combination of curves and points, which seems to work... fingers crossed for now.
All the best.

Good morning Oscar, another great video. Love your new wagons with their wagon loads, you've done a great job Oscar. It's not always easy to find the time in the week to do jobs when you have other commitments. Hope you manage to fix your hand held controller, I would imagine the wires inside it are very fine and small. Well done Oscar, well I am going to make a cup of tea, but I forgot to buy some tea cakes 😮. Oh well, I'll just have to dunk some biscuits in my tea instead . Keep safe Oscar, and i shall look forward to your next video .🙂👍🚂🚃
Good morning Martin, thanks for watching, they are indeed very fine wires inside. I broke one earlier in the year by tripping over and kicking the control unit, which I stupidly left on the floor! It seems like a good idea at the time... It was relatively straightforward to fix. Hope you got buy with just biscuits with your tea... Just had tea and toast myself, but now sadly have to go to work for the day.
All the best.
Oscar
Hi Oscar great running show and good tips for cleaning very enjoyable
Thanks Patrick, glad you enjoyed that and found the information useful.
All the best.
Oscar
I always like your presentation. 🙂 Take care. Cheers Andy 🤠
Thank you Andy. Glad you enjoyed that.
Take care.

Good morning Oscar, that's a nice rake of wagons and they look good with loads, its all about just a bit of imagination. Good idea using pledge type cleaner polish, also if you can give the steel axle alight coat it helps with rust in the future! That's a good bit of maintenance done. Always enjoy watching the movement's of engines around the Railway enjoyed the Hornby dublo this week, the tank engine train with the wood load works very well and looks fantastic. thanks Oscar always interesting. Look after yourself see you next time, Eddy xxx
Thanks Eddy for watching and the tip about using the polish on the axles, Great idea, I'll give it a go.
Take care.
Oscar
Hey Oscar - @ 19:09 Is the word that you were looking for is ironized??? 🤔 A good running session Oscar - thanks for sharing 🙂🚂🚂🚂
Great bit of running there Oscar. I was a bit concerned when the Duchess shot off very quickly backwards! You got away with that well. I was sure there was going to be carnage in a difficult place to get at. Those wagons came up very well. Lovely start to Sunday as usual. Thanks for sharing. Roy.
I had never observed Oscar propelling carriages in that manner before. Yikes, that was a frightful moment.
Disaster avoided with a quick hand!
Thanks Roy, glad you like the look of the wagons, I really wasn't expecting that train to run backwards that quickly, definitely took me by surprise.
Thanks again.
Oscar
Nothing wrong with playing trains ! Great video as usual Oscar
Good evening Russell, just been playing with Trains again this afternoon and managed to get down to the TCS show in Leicester yesterday, Great show with lost of trans being played with and came away with some lovely items...
Take care.
Oscar
@@oscarpaisley yep I managed up my loft , otherwise known as Ice Station Zebra, and played with my trains . They behaved themselves this time . Very relaxing .
It was quite interesting to watch your methods for cleaning up the wagons.. A toothbrush works well too on the plastic Tri-ang.. The timber loads have worked out really good and look nice going around too.
It is very informative to see how to do jobs on the Dublo wagons.. A bit different to Tri-ang ones? A great look over all of the railway today.. The table looked very tidy, with very few tools sitting about anywhere.. I am not sure if I like the Tri-ang or the Dublo mail pick up and delivery system the best? I tend a bit toward The "controlled" Dublo way a bit?
Some lovely running in today's video.. Well done Oscar.
Good morning Robin, a rare tidy moment... Glad you enjoyed the video and seeing how I cleaned up and prepared those wagons, I was very pleased with them and they are still on the railway as I type. The Dublo TPO coach and Line side equipment are such beautiful looking items in the lovely tinplate plus a terrific rewarding feeling when pressing that button to actuate the pick up and collection process.
Thanks again take care.
Oscar
So I`m not the only one that`s had problems with the Morley hand held units! I have had 3 that have had wires that have broken in various places, one went the same place as yours near the controller itself, I did a repair only for a few days later a wire broke near the middle of the cable. Then the other hand held unit did the same thing as your with the dial on zero the train went off like a shot, that wire had broken near where the plug goes into the unit. Then when I was using my Morley Crawler controller one of those hand held units developed a broken wire, that was found to be about 5 inches from the controller plug. These had held units seem to have real quality issues which is very disappointing as the controller itself is a good piece of kit.
Regards
Kev
Hi Kev, yes this is the second unit that this has happened to, although the first unit that went was as a result of me, accidentally tripping & kicking the control unit which I had stupidly left on the floor. This time around, I couldn't pinpoint an exact time it happened so I suspect just through use the cable has fractured. I've also had to rewire my Hammant & Morgan Hand Held Control Unit CUI in the past as one of the cables had fractured were enters the metal housing. I think there is only so much manipulation of any cable before it brakes, maybe a slightly heavier weight cable would be the an improvement, but I suspect with continued use a fraction will eventually develop. Still a lot more reliable than a Bluetooth or Wifi connection.
Thanks again for watching take care.
Oscar
👍
Morning Oscar, have you seen how Ronald dodd makes his turntable work remotely using meccano parts.
Hi, thanks for watching, yes, I've seen Ronald Dodd working his magic with a number of things on his terrific railway, sadly my engineering skills fall a little short... I have one of his excellent magnetisers, works for Hornby Dublo and the Tri-ang.
Take care.

Hi Oscar,
Great maintenance video and running session with the refurbed trucks. Very timely as I picked up an EDP12 train set this week for a good price. Some damage to the end flaps of the box, otherwise play wear in keeping with age. The Duchess of Montrose, in green livery, is slightly below yours, condition wise. I don’t do 3 rail therefore considering converting to 2 rail, any pointers greatly appreciated. To some it might be sacrilege to do that but I am not in a position to branch out into 3 rail.
As always most enjoyable,
Gordon
Hi Gordon, thanks again for looking in. Glad you like the look of the trucks after the cleanup. Sounds like a great idea having a go at a conversion with the Duchess of Montrose. I've not tried a conversion either way from 2 Rail or to 3 Rail or 3 Rail to 2 rail. It might be slightly more complicated going 3 Rail to two Rail as a way of isolating/ insulating the wheels on one or both sides of the model will need to be worked out. I've included the link below which addresses the issues when making the 3 to 2 conversion.
Take care.
Oscar

@@oscarpaisley Many thanks for that Oscar. One of the guys at the club has a two rail chassis which he is willing to swap, will have a look at that this week re condition etc and will keep you posted.
Hi Oscar,
Your Duchess seems to have plenty of get up and go for a horseshoe version.
I have two Atholls, one a horse shoe type and the other a block magnet.
The horseshoe type has never has the sort of get up and go yours has, no matter how much I fettle it or magnetise it.
New wagons look good with the timber loads.
I also have Morley Controllers so I may have to keep an eye on my handhelds.
Although I find them generally very good.
If I had one gripe, it would be nice to have a positive click for off when using the main body control rheostat.
Hi, thanks for watching I magnetised the horseshoe as recommended by Ronald Dodd a number of times down the length of a magnet. The horseshoe motors definitely don't have the get up and go of the block magnet motors. Both my handheld units and the main body control units have centre click off, I got my first unit coming out of the first lockdown, I had read when researching these controllers that originally there was no centre click off position on many of there units, the centre clicked off feature was listed as one of the features of the Vanguard unit on their website at the point, I made my first purchase. I found them to be great equipment, far and away the best control I've experienced so far with the old model railway items in my collection.
Take care.
