Congratulations on reaching 70 thousand subscribers! And I'm proud to be one of them.
The LSWR green looks very nice on the Terrier. I say that from my experience in Train Simulator. The reason why the LSWR bought two of them (46 'Newington and 68 'Clapham') in the first place was so they could be tested on the Lyme Regis branch, which ran from Axminster (Devon) to Lyme Regis (Dorset). The branch had gradients as steep as 1 in 40 and curves that were sharp enough to twist an engine's frames. 'Newington' became LSWR No. 734, while 'Clapham' became No. 735. In the end, three Adams Radial Tanks ended up running on the Lyme Regis Branch in place of the Terriers, and they did so right up until 1961. Thankfully one of those Adams engines (LSWR No. 488) is preserved on the Bluebell Railway. And - as was stated in this video - one of the LSWR Terriers is now preserved (as Southern Railway No. W8 'Freshwater').
Thanks so much mate - really appreciate your kind support mate! Yes the livery is lovely isn't it?? Ooh interesting - I'd love to do that too! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I’d love to see a large tender engine in O gauge. The details should be incredible.
Ooooh how about a 9f?
There’s a O gauge Flying Scotsman/LNER A3..
Bro the Flying Scotsman would be a good one to see!
Like a coronation class! I love them!
@@TKS60163 I just looked at Hattons' and it's £750. I'd expect the driver to get out and make me a tiny brew for that.
I think you need a actual o gauge layout, and document your progress. I would definitely watch. Great vid. Lswr green is a great livery!
Stay safe!
Lewis
haha I would love it, I don't have the space sadly though :(
I will be extending it soon though!!
@@SamsTrains I have been interested in 0 Guage for a long time I own a bayour Garrett in 0 Gauge was wondering how I could reach out to share my photos of the train it is a fully brass train kit built by my uncle and me over the past few years
I agree even if it's just a small shunting layout. A bit of track on some shelving isnt doing videos and products justice.
@@SamsTrains what if you built a layout on top of the existing 00 gauge one? eg the whole thing is on legs and removeable/stackable, so when you want to run some O gauge things you have it in position, then when you dont you just remove it all and have it tucked away out of sight etc.
hes working on it
The best channel to entertain myself when I’m in isolation
Same with me man
That's so kind of you mate, thanks a lot!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Sam'sTrains you’re very welcome
I agree with this!
Sam: has money
O gauge: allow me to introduce myself
Lots of money :D
Well compared to other 0 gauge brands Dapol is cheap. But for you Brits save your money, there will be hard times in front of you now after Brexit and I 6 month after Corona
Or it could go like this:
Hattons - Has something in stock.
Sam - Shut up and take my money!
Overdraft: allow me to introduce myself. But in all seriousness, can we have a moment of silence for his credit score.
L0L
A beautiful tank engine and LSWR green and red is just a match made in heaven. I’m looking forward to seeing what you do in the O-Gauge genre.
Thanks very much mate - I'm a huge fan of this engine too! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I hope you can review the o gauge pannier tank, seeing as it has the functioning valve gear
I hope so too - they look amazing!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
O gauge, or as we say in the lower middle class, “O no the kids college fund is gone, gauge.”
haha I can see why, lol! ;D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
*Sad peasant noises*
I can’t believe it’s that expensive. Maybe one Loco in 0 costs thrice as much as the same in OO gauge? Of course you can’t collect them as OO. But if you add up the average amount a OO consumer buys over a year, I am sure it tops the price for a small O gauge loco. And in 0 gauge you can’t even collect the locomotives as easily because space is limited. It’s simply a very different type of railway Modeling. With a few coaches and a locomotive the experience is quite sufficient. As you can see in the video...
I have even seen Gauge1 Märklin locos in Germany being sold for 300 Euros in good used condition. And that’s a much bigger and more complex loco than this one. What I mean is that if you are disciplined you can afford the hobby in every scale. Heck, i can’t even have more than a couple locos in HO for space reasons, and I am happy with it nevertheless. One nice cargo train and one nice passenger train. That’s it.
I’d love an O gauge, it’s just I don’t have the room for a loop and if I had a linear layout I’d always be crashing off the ends because I’m an idiot.
Same plus I really enjoy setting up a loop and getting to sit and let it go around on its own. It's quite relaxing when you got your scenery done up and of course a dark tunnel to get some use out of the lights. And right now that would be nice to get something in O scale going but without renting some space in my neighbors basement I don't see it happening soon.
MEGADEUS the cost is annoying as well, one Heljan O gauge class 37 is 4 times the price I payed for my Bachmann OO gauge class 37.
Get a track plan book they have plenty of ideas how you can do it. I have a few for ideas and they are amazing. Any manufacturer like Peco and Hornby have one.
Yeah I know I wanted to build aftrer my oo gauge layout but it won’t fit
haha yeah - I'm having to be very careful with that too! The Heljan prices definitely don't seem as good as Dapol's!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Hi Sam, I recently received a Heljan class 47 in virgin porterbrook livery, it ran silently and faultlessly and is a stunning model in my opinion, I highly reccomend Heljans 47s!
Great to hear that - I might have to try one! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
Oh my! The way the buffers and the hook sprung when coupling. Simply poetry in motion. You definitely don’t get that kind of quality in US O gauge.
I agree with you - it's mesmerising isn't it?! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
You get large knuckle couplers that you can sometimes replace with Kadee scale couplers if you want in US O scale
What a beautiful model and what a lovely gauge to work in. With many thanks for a great review Sam.
Thanks very much Mike, so glad you enjoyed this one! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
Sensational, Sam. Makes me want to sell all my OO kit and invest in an O gauge layout with just a few lots like that one!! As always, many thanks for an excellent review. Chris
sam: do you want to see more o gauge locomotives?
(sam's bank account has left the chat)
haha exactly!! ;D
Wow! That is awesome! Please keep on reviewing O gauge models and keep us updated on your O gauge layout!
Thanks so much Marie - I'll do my best! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Sam you just arranged, signed, and delivered my death warrant!!!!! I sooooo want to go with O gauge, but my wife WILL kill me if I do.... problem is that I don't know if I can resist the temptation! I have to say some of the applied detail is not as accurately applied as I WOuld have hoped, like the front lamp, but have a feeling that that can be relatively easily rectified..... it's also interesting to see that the lining appears to be applied by painting decal.... that's what I think I saw with the overlap of the lining when you mentioned the accuracy.... However I still say .... well done, you have just had me executed!!!!! Great review.... ill see you in the next world!
haha thanks William - I don't think you'd regret it, even if you were flayed alive for it afterwards! Check out some of Dapol's other O gauge locos - it turns out this isn't even one of their best, compared with the likes of the 14xx and Sentinels - all great stuff! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Be the light of the silvery moon, nice song, where do you keep getting the music from?
Thank you!! That one was in the CZcams library! :D
Hi Sam i would love too see you review more 0 gauge locomotives & rolling stock, great video as always.😁
I'd love that too Matt - thank you! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
Fabulous review of a fabulous model. I really appreciate the thoroughness, frankness and honesty of your reviews - I could now confidently purchase one of these locos, (funds permitting) enlightened by your review. Thanks a lot for sharing, Sam!
A great choice for a starter in O gauge, Sam. Even if you only get 3 wagons you'll have a smile all day playing trains!
Thanks a lot John, I'm really happy with this! I could do it for hours, definitely! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Sam could you review your other two o gauge engines
Yes! :D
Hey Sam, I've always been more attracted to O gauge because it's more interesting and everything works with each other more realistically, I'd absolutely love to see more O gauge content...if your wallet allows it
Yeah I think it's very interesting too - I'll do more soon!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Wonderful choice of livery, Sam, and a great video! You can't go wrong with a terrier.
Thanks very much mate - I'm so happy with mine! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
What a delightful model. 😊
British tinplate (3-rail) O gauge trains are a charming spectacle, but this 'scale' model magnificently does the Terriers justice in detailing!
Twice the gauge (1 dimension) would be 8 times the volume (3 dimensions) so 8 times the mass, not 4.
Ooh really?? I measured the mass to be exactly 4x that of the OO one - but the difference is not necessarily proportional!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
@@SamsTrains height x width x length.... 2x2x2=8, not 4.
OO is not half O. Half O is HO. O is a sort of bastard being 1:76 while running on 1:87 tracks.
This looks absolutely astonishing! I'd love to have one, although I'd have to avoid getting terrier hairs round the axles..! (sorry)
Thanks mate! ahaha see what you did there!! xD
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Nice, a O-Gauge Loco with tradition. I have a 90 years old Märklin-Brochure and there was a Terrier-loco in O-Gauge for the english market back then! Then it was made of clockwork and of tin and was L.N.E.R livery. I like this Terrier-locos!
Thanks a lot Paul - ooh that sounds amazing - 90 years ago?!? :O
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Hi Sam love the videos. I am mainly OO gauge like you but have now started my first look into O. My Dapol Terrier arrived from Rail of Sheffield mid week so got it out the box for a close look while watching your review. Mine in the BR black early version box number 7S-010-012. The steps on mine were intact. It is a great model and I love your review.
Thanks a lot mate, that sounds awesome - really hope you enjoy yours, they look amazing in BR Black!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
The fitting on the boiler is indeed for putting the water in the boiler (known as a clack/check valve (more commonly clack valve)). A lot of the time you have one piped up to an injector, and one piped up to a mechanical water pump (although sometimes they do just have 2 injectors, would have to double check in this case). Certainly most road engines have a pump and an injector, and my own miniature loco has a water pump and will have an injector (when it's finished off course).
Thanks for this William, that's the one!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Gotta love a bit of o gauge!
Please do some more
Great video as always!
-Dj
Thanks mate - for sure!! Really glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Hello Sam!
I love the couplings on these O gauge trains. In the US, we use a type of coupler that looks like a hand (both on our real trains and models all the way to N gauge. Not sure about Z or smaller) There are a few other coupler types over here but for the most part they are the knuckle couplers
Hey! Yeah I like those too - they're great fun!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I've seen the original on the Isle Of Wight. It wasn't in use, the day I was there, but an 0-6-0 Hunslet Austerity was being used. You might find an old steel crochet hook useful for coupling and uncoupling. Even better, would be a stainless steel dental probe with a hooked end - these can be bought quite cheaply on ebay. Ever thought of a garden layout? O gauge is perfect for that, and you'd be able to get a circuit to run engines in with. A man who lived in the house at the end of my garden had one, and it was a thing of beauty. Cleverly, it had a section that ran through a tunnel, into his conservatory, so he could still run trains if it were cold.
Ooh fantastic - yes that would be useful, I'll have to get one of those!! I would love a garden layout, but my garden isn't suitable (or quiet enough) for filming!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I have been doing US O gauge 2 rail (1:48) for a while now. It's wonderful to see British O Gauge (1:43.5). Might have to check these out.
Thanks Nicholas - I can highly recommend this stuff!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
hey Sam ive actually helped with a O gauge layout at a train aircraft and road show in various model form since they man who was a lovely chap couldn't couple them up since of a lil difficultly but he had the actual tools to couple them up so i gave him a lil hand coupling wagons and the locos up and he actually allowed me to run his O gauge layout from Kallum.
Ooh that sounds great Kallum - I'd love to see some of those! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
@@SamsTrains you could use dentist hooks or use some hard wire to make a hook wish i had the money for O gauge
"Conjunction has been reversed." Brilliant bombast. I've just made my first O gauge purchase- a Dapol wagon and guard's van; god help me.
Shelf layouts can often benefit from a diode interrupting current near the end of the layout. This way, if the engine crosses the diode in one direction it will stop, but if the polarity from the transformer is reversed, it will proceed past the diode in the other direction no problem, since diodes only block current in one direction. Also, if you set up diodes this way at each end, you can use a Dalee automatic reverser to very simply create an auto reversing shelf layout.
Great video as always, thanks Sam.
Yes that would be a big help actually - I might look into that one day - very smart idea!!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Gday Sam
I predominantly collect HO and OO gauge. But I recently picked up 5x O gauge British wagons. Thanks to your review, I think this is the loco I will get to haul them. Beautiful model and great review. Cheers.
Ooh that sounds great - I can highly recommend this one mate! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
Great review Sam, I would love to see some scenery along that stretch, just grass, ballast and a back scene where possible would make some magical scenes to show off the Engines. We had a massive attic layout and there was never any scenery on it, which looking back was such a shame.
Thanks a lot Robert - yes it would be fun to try - maybe one day!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
00 gauge is amazing and can't be beaten in terms of value for money on average. But there is something particularly magical about the larger scales!. I saved up for ages to finally buy myself a live steam locomotive in 16mm scale narrow gauge. It is primarily a shelf queen that comes out for day trips on the rolling road...given the obscene price of track in that scale, my small wallet and even smaller garden (yard) paha. Would love to see more O gauge form you!. Great stuff!
Yes I'd agree with you based on what I've seen so far! That sounds superb, I'd love to see that!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
More o gauge sounds great to me. There are some unbelievably detailed models, however the price reflects the level of detail. Have fun Sam, I converted about 20 years ago and never looked back. The range of kits out there is astonishing, and the resale market is great. Check it out you can get some really great deals on older kits and update them with newer technology. Love your videos.
Thanks Wayne - yeah you're right, I didn't think the price was too bad at all, at least not with Dapol!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
OH MY GOD, WOW 😯 Excellent big review of your first O gauge model Sam 👍👍
I’m glad you bought a Terrier as they are excellent in O scale and I’m very excited for you to buy more locos & rolling stock in this scale in the near future.
I’m also glad that the price of this model is £179 as that is the cheaper model in O scale to buy and that is a great way for any one who are going for beginners.
The O gauge locomotive for you to review next is the ?-?-2 locomotive and (hopefully) carriage in the near future.
Thanks very much Joe, really glad you enjoyed it! I agree - the price was fantastic! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Hello Sam, I'm relatively new into O gauge as well (about the past year). For the coupling, my solution was to dowel a short length of 0.9mm or 0.7mm brass wire (maybe 4-5cm) into a cocktail stick with a 2-4mm diameter j bent into the end. I've also seen it done by taping the same wire to the end of a pound shop torch. You may find either of these to be a satisfactory tool.
I can also heartily recommend wagon kits from Parkside (Peco) if you're feeling particularly ambitious to build up an army of wagons, quite literally.
Great suggestion on the dowel - I'll try to make one of those too! :D
Thanks for the Peco suggestion!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
The only experience I have with O gauge (apart from exhibitions) is in the hobby shops _ recently I gazed longingly at a BR green 37 up on a shelf & felt I was seeing the real article as the painted details were incredible 😃👍
Ahh that must have been amazing - the 37 has got to be gigantic in O gauge! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
It was used for Stepney the Bluebell Engine for a model layout by the Rev. W. Awdry.
You're right - it was! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Very beautiful model Sam! Nice to have 10 surviving examples including Stepney! Fenchurch is hoped to be returned to service in 2022 for her 150th birthday!
Thanks a lot Ryno - yes indeed, it's lovely so many survived! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Can't wait to see your progress and experience evolve with this gauge. 👌😁
I can't wait either - it's been great fun so far! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I would recommend using paperclip bent into a shunters pole. That works really well for me and I do it with OO scale.
Great idea - I'll try that! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Yes Sam, more 0 gauge please
I guess you will have to get at least a circle of track to run them in. And we can enjoy watching you build it.
Where you going to put it though is another thing, perhaps a garden railway as the summer as summer is coming!
Thanks mate - coming soon!! I would love a circuit, but I don't have the space :(
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Sam id love to see you take a look ad Dapol's N gauge Terriers, Get the whole trilogy of Terriers by Dapol.
Before the intro
"This is my first O gauge locomotive review"
After the intro
"Now I must say I have done an O gauge review before"
haha yeah - though this was the first one I'd actually owned myself! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Hi sam, lovely to see this review. Watching your shows has given me back the model railway bug! I used to model in N-gauge, 00 and G scale. Sadly while I still all the models, I now only have room for my N-gauge which Iv just started a new lay off. After not doing anything with the scale for over 10 years, I’m stunned by how much the models have improved. Please as your my main site all things model railway, can you included more N gauge in your news shows? I only ask because the new steam range offered Bachmann and Dapol is quite poor, (unless you want GWR) , but I gather new things are coming and want to keep up to speed.
Thanks very much Matt - really glad to hear that mate! The improvements are massive in recent years - that's very true! I'd love to try some N gauge some day!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
YES! I would love to see more O gauge locomotives and rolling stock!
I'd love to do more - hopefully I will do! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Sam thanks for making this quarantine enjoyable as it can be. I have been watching all your videos to pass time thanks.
It's a pleasure mate, really glad you've been enjoying the videos!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
The Terriers are the very definition of Victorian Era tank engines.
haha you're right!! :D
I bought the 00 gauge WC&P terrier back in November. My grandparents lived in that region while my dad and his siblings were growing up. thought it would be nice to own a little link to my family's past
Ahh fantastic - did you like the OO terrier?? :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Sam'sTrains Ooh yes! Runs like a dream! Although it can get a little warm. I have noticed that with a few recent engines so when Bruce been running for a while I feel the tanks/tender (in one case) and if it feels warm I’ll switch the engine for a different one
LSWR Chocolate and Mint with Cookies and Cream lining. Yum yum!
I got a 3 rail O scale GP60M. The box it came in I think was like twice the size of your box. I got a Steamer I purchased used off Ebay and couple frieght cars. Excited for those to come in. The diesel I got also came with a smoke generator. Also is tmcc equipped but dont have money for the controller.
Wow! That must be a total beast - very cool! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Yes I would like to see more 0 grade I have just started. I have 2 class 33 cromptons in BR. I have also been given an 060 LMS which you have just done a review on.
I got to say Sam this was an impressive loco to see up close. The 0-6-0 Class A1X LSWR Terrier in O Gauge is wonderful and you gave it a very fair review. A beautifully detailed model from the small lamp irons the whistle, the paint lining and interior of the cab, etc. The permanence was incredibly good and smooth enough for its first out of the box running. Power rating can't be fully tested as you don't have much stock, but you can retest it again later. The motor looks good and should perform well over the months as you run it in. The quality is a bit shaky in areas, the white flecks in the paintwork suggest dust particles. Plus, on the ends of the water tanks, there is the moulding circle or ring, otherwise, a good well-made model. The value for the Terrier must be good as I've only seen prices over the £250 mark. It is an expensive gauge to get into and to gather up rolling stock to run will take a while unless you have deep pockets. It was great to see this Sam and good luck if you are going to expand on it further down the line. Thanks to Grandpa Trains too, in getting those first bits of stock for you to run and I enjoyed seeing this as an alternative scale on your channel.
Really glad you liked this one John - I thoroughly enjoyed this one!! The ring on the ends of the tanks is supposed to be there I believe - I've seen it on the real things! xD
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
@@SamsTrains Oh okay the rings do look like a moulding issue, I must look at my 00 Terrier then to see if they are the same. Thanks for keeping us entertained Sam on your channel. I'm on my own and it is comforting to listen to another's voice.
My advice to use is bending a paper clip to use as a makeshift shunter's pole to couple up rolling stock
Thanks for the tip - I'm thinking of making a video on this! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Great review Sam. Makes me want to get into O as well. But most of my cash being sunk into SM32 in the garden. As you have a shelf layout, what about reviewing a single car DMU next, say class 121 or 122 from Dapol. They would look great on your shelf and are perfectly at home shuttling on an end to end... Blue and white or green with speed whiskers, lots of great choices.
You can do it! I'd highly recommend it! Great idea - I'd love a 121! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Yes Sam. Please. review more '0' Gauge locos and rolling stock. I have two 08 shunters, a terrier and a NCB Sentinel, 4 banana vans, some open wagons and some guard vans but no space for much track. I am hoping to get some 4/6 wheel Stroudley LBSCR coaches for the Terrier to pull. Bye from Ian.
That loco is beautiful. Sam, I would like to do review more if your able. I hope you can expand your track. Stay safe.
Thanks a lot Ross! I'm hoping to do more, and expand the track! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
This is a really good looking engine although I didn't think it was O Gauge by looking at the thumbnail :)
I really enjoy these so keep it up and I'm also excited for your April fools video
Have a good one Sam!
haha I know - it's hard to make it look as big as it is!! Glad you enjoyed it mate!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I nearly got a terrier for my start in O. Instead my grandfather gave me his unwanted E4, which is basically a big terrier 😆👍
As for those A3s, I’m still waiting for the broken ones to go for sale so I can have a scrappers loco of a decent size for once 👍
Ooh fantastic - wow the E4 must be amazing in O gauge! Yeah - and there seem to be a lot of broken ones ;)
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I love both your OO and your O Gauge stuff.
Thanks so much mate!!! :D
Sam'sTrains You’re welcome Sam :D
I'm hoping that in the future , I can have a layout similar size to yours with 3 00 gauge , etc but on the inside , 2 lines of 0 and N. Think it's a good idea to have all three gauges together. 00 will always be my go-to
Ahh fantastic - good luck mate, hope you can do it! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Sam, Welcome to a much larger world and with O Gauge you'll need it:) keep up the great work and I look forward to more O Gauge reviews
haha absolutely - I can't wait to do more!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Amazing locomotive sam would you be able to do an o gauge brake van next?
Thanks a lot mate - ooh I would love that! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
Glad you liked the O Gauge Terrier, still waiting on bits to fix mine which wasn't too expensive, also finally gotten a wagon for it to pull round though still need some track for it! Planning on someday getting mine battery/RC converted so can run around the garden without conductivity issues.
Also speaking of track, I've done major rework on my N Gauge layout, needed a bit more simplifying, did require me ripping it all up however.
Wouldn't mind seeing more O Gauge reviews, as always enjoyed the video!
~James
Thanks a lot mate! Sorry to hear yours was broken?! That sounds great - hope it all goes well for you! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Was bought broken so it's not all bad (and bit cheaper than others in SR Olive), still runs fine though, will be using it in a video to compare N Gauge with both OO and O... and also cause who can resist another Terrier!
Yes please I’d love to see more O gauge
I have exactly the same loco. A super model, but I doubt it will haul 10+ coaches unless it is on a downward gradient. The maximum number of coaches I have got it to haul are three Gresley coaches, even then it has wheel slip going up a slight gradient.
Dude, imagine how crazy an O gauge Big Boy would be!
26k away from 100k I hope you get there Sam
Thanks so much mate - that would be amazing!! :D
Watching a model review at 3 am, internet finally fixed itself and playing another game on mobile. Feelin really good atm
haha awesome mate, glad you're doing okay!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I’ve seen some comments about these being budget O gauge locos. Part of the reason behind this is (I think) that there is only one variation of pipework on the side of the cab, and only one type of cab.
Ahh I see - thanks a lot for the info! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
If the scale is doubled, the volume is cubed: 2 x 2 x 2. 2 long, 2 wide, 2 high. That is a beautiful locomotive! Love that color!
Yes you're right - my bad!! xD
O gauge is great! you don't have to worry about coupling heights with the three links and sprung buffers are actually useful. also that slow speed is acceptable for the larger scale, i.e. the larger the scale the faster the speed.
It really is John - and that's a very good point!!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Sam this is great! It definitely has helped my decision to get into British 0 as soon as my 009 display layout is done. I am looking forward to many more O videos from you. Be well.
Thanks very much Robert, that's great to hear - good luck mate! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
This is like a shunting challenge for the Terrier when it has to pull the red wagon to the other siding. :)
BTW, I find it satisfying to watch the sprung buffers joining in towards the buffers of the red wagon! Looks like we have a reason on why the buffers are sprung! :P
haha yeah - that's what I was going for! The buffers do look amazing! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
A great review of a fabulous model.No. 734 was one of two sold to the London and South Western Railway. I wonder what it would look like with a rather more glossy finish.
Thanks a lot John - yes a glossier finish would be interesting to see!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
You should make a O gauge shunting layout!
I'd love that Jack! :D
I also don't know if you noticed but in the diagram photo thing on the front of the box has no steps and a condensing pipe, but when you look at the model itself, it doesn't have the condensing pipe and the step is broken off.
Yeah you're right - I wonder if the diagram represents all versions of the model, even though many of them have variations?
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
you made me very nervous, when you ran the loco back and forth over the unsupported track at around 16.45/8...!! it reminded me of my older brother (causing crashes!!)
haha yeah it's not ideal - I've tested that track under hugely unrealistic load... it's not going to fail! ;D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
NICE looking locomotive! O Scale does seem like more fun! I SAY YES... MORE O PLEASE!
Thanks a lot William - I find it to be a lot of fun! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
@@SamsTrains Have you experienced O scale model train operation with sound? To me, that is the ultimate in enjoyment! My dream is to have a DCC eye level O scale BR Traction Depot switching layout in the 1970's era (with full sound, and just move around the Class 37-47-50 Westerns and Deltics in an around the shop tracks. Maybe have a DMU set or a single Steam Special locomotive as well come in for servicing now and then Cheers keep up the good work Sam!
I would love to see more Of gauge stuff Sam! I'm thinking on starting with O gauge myself.
Thanks very much Jack - good luck! More coming soon!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
A stunning loco Sam, a wonderful review clearly showing why 0 Gauge is becoming so popular, and at this price, this is a great starter for most people compared with 00 Gauge...I'd love to see more loco reviews in this Gauge, as unfortunately, they are well beyond my finances these days.
Thanks a lot Bob, yes indeed - amazing for the money really! I can't blame you there - I won't be able to afford very many!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Interesting review Sam - good to see this in the flesh. Not sure if its my thing. The kids have a some Lionel O gauge stuff, but never really been drawn back to expand (Price does not help either). Went US outline "N" for a while (Lots of great stuff there), but OO is always drawing me back!
Thanks a lot Tim - that's fair enough - there are certainly a few drawbacks to O gauge :(
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
That Terrier is amazing, yes you should do more and try to extend the layout as much as you can. You should have got one of your 'oo' gauge Terriers and the 'o' gauge Terrier and put, them side by side to compare the size difference. Sam you are a legend, you are the best. :)
Thanks so much! Yes I'm hoping to do that for sure - and great idea, I could do that! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Even as someone who doesn't like O gauge all that much I can honestly say, that terrier looks incredible
Glad to hear that mate - I definitely thought so!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
21:03 Since your layout is so small to frequently run two locos, you should make the layout run on one controller and rearrange it as a layout with one main line with a passing loop and three sidings at each end of the layout (your shelf seems to have room for three tracks).
You should try to get some Heljian O gauge Mk1s and utility vans as those could suit a shunting layout
That would be awesome, but space will be a problem for that - the radius of the curves is pretty huge in O gauge - I will be extending it soon though! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
watching this with interest, as i'm considering an N gauge terrier, for my 11x27 inch layout.
I love the channel and vidios, I'd also love to see more O guage stuff reviewed. For someone who models US railroads, and HO scale, its nice to see something a little different.
Thanks a lot mate - I'd love to do more too - more coming soon hopefully!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Fun fact they were designed as a suburban class of engine to be lightweight and have a high pulling rate which were to run over line with shallow ballasting. Let me get my book on this for more information.
Ooh nice - thanks for the fun fact!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
What a beautiful model, several years on. I wonder if it is still available. Then I would need track to run it on.
Definitely want to see more O gauge stuff Sam. Really enjoyed this.
Awesome, thank you! :D
Another great review. Oh for the space for an O gauge layout (and money)
haha I know mate - I thought it was impossible for me too for many years! Have a think about it - you might find a way! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Even if you just had one O gauge engine it would look really good on a plinth as a stand off model. O gauge can be built into quite a small space as in just a shunting yard or small siding. I think O gauge will be a huge success especially with Hattons producing their own models and of course Dapol producing well priced kit.
It is a stunner and I am tempted ! That cab is crying out for some crew.
Thanks Scott - and you're right - some crew would be excellent!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I think, if I've calculated it correctly, that it would be an entire 8 times bigger than OO as you have 3 dimensions to play with meaning you would need to cube the scale factor to get 8. I would definitely go for O gauge if I could afford to go so big as you get so much more detail and it feels a lot more alive. Great video and I love the livery on the loco.
Yes you're absolutely right Dom - I got that wrong - seems obvious now, haha!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
