So glad to see your return, wonderful to see and hear your videos. So agree with you on the bright in your face with this, I’m lucky to have the red version with a single tool van; always looking for the red staff coach to go with. As you say they look great moving around the layout at slow speed but where to keep it. Always think of rolling stock; this is more than something to keep hidden in your rolling stock siding; something special to see out on the railway. Looking forward to next video, all best Marc from Leighton Buzzard
The first model railway crane I had was the Hornby model you showed first, once I saw the yellow one I knew it was the one that I wanted, sold the red livery model and bought the yellow livery model along with the breakdown coach and the track cleaner, never got hold of the smaller crane, the main crane hasn’t changed much in over 40 years, when Hornby bought Lima they used the Lima crane in the Railroad range, thanks for sharing.
Hi Barrie. Sorry to hear about your unwanted trip to hospital. Hope you are now feeling better. I was bought one of these for my 14th birthday 50 years ago(Must be the Triang version). I still have it in my collection. I cannot see the 4 balancing arms on your model that came with mine. Have Hornby stopped putting them on the model. The model still has the mounting holes on the crane chassis. I also have the H/D crane I bought as a spares and repairs and fixed up.
Good Morning Barrie great to see you are back again . I hope you are all keeping well . An extra splash of colour via a model railway on a sunny May morning . Cheers !
I believe breakdown cranes should run jib. 1st for safety reasons ? And as for the red vent Van's they had a prefix or DE prefix for the dept of engerniring department . And they were called packing vans for tools but all the different sizes of wood blocks known as packing for blocking and jacking purposes s . Red was the 1st colour out follow by the yellow then followed by the grey . Hornby 1st riding coach was a red Thompson coach labelled as breakdown riding coach . Yours I believe was the 2nd . . Hope this helps . Try to stay in the shed . Not tbe hospital. Best of health to you.
Informative as always. ✔️
