I have a Hornby 2721 class that the qheels just... don't freeroll? My other hornby model, a Hymek, rolls back and forth fine. I don't have any track and I'm a bit skeptical about putting a battery to the wheels. It's the 2788 numbered model if that helps any.

And replacing the fishplates makes better electric connection

Thanks Good tip!!!

Thanks for this great tip appreciated

I have a coupling in one of my Hornby mk4s and it is deformed so i cant get it out, what should i do?

Hornby have definitely upped their game recently I think that they have realised that they have competition. Good video keep up the good work mate.

The average number of parts in a Rapido 4 wheel wagon is 44, I doubt any of the other wagons in that train are anything like that many, the H&BR fish can from triang for example in your train has 7 parts, that is a lot of molded detail and no ability to offer variation within a range of liveries of a single wagon.

Nice review. I have the Guy Fawkes one, rather expensive but lovely nonetheless! Joachim

I agree that Rapido wagons are a bit on the expensive side, you will find their open wagons the same price as they seem to have one price fits all for most of the range. They are still good wagons but not that much if any better than the competition in complexity Oxford Rail being a good example of very similar looks and finish. The one thing Rapido do have that others RTR don't is the brass bearings in the axle boxes but some of the kit wagons do have them as well.

The big job is keeping the track clean, those track rubbers are not too recommended by many railway modelers

I'm pretty sure you're wrong about his audience. Could you point to your source for the statement about the demographic of the audience?

I'm well past the bloom of middle age and I'm a fan of Sams - mostly for his reviews and his mellow demeanor - there are more than enough "Serious Model Railroaders" (tm) on youtube already. As I recall, he was pretty clear on his intent with these mystery boxes - a couple of good bits and a random assortment of stuff. Based on his usual "retail" prices it seemed a pretty good deal. I did not buy one because the shipping to Canada doubled the cost. You raise a really good point about his younger audience members. As a parent it could look a bit underwhelming. As for the scrap bits - I would use that balancing coach body as the basis for a small ticket stall on a preserved railway, or perhaps a hut for platelayers etc. Thanks for all your mystery box reviews and other content.

Great stuff, in my experience the best wagon kits, are Nigel Brooks 3D printed ones, supreme detail, easy to build and cheaper than Dundas

Just what I needed. Thanks.

Great start. I'm doing my OO on foam over a folding door.

It's a shame that all of that great detail is on the Underside ..oh well.

Pity they don't do TT120

once you start with Accurascale there is no stopping, the detail is fantastic. all the best

Nice video. You take 'hand of God' to the extreme! I'm (painfully slowly) working on a new Inglenook project ... If it works it'll definitely be RUclipsable.

Use a bent piece of wire as an uncoupling tool.

Just came across your channel. It seems the algorithm knows me well but now, i love your humor! I subscribed within the first minute. :)

I feel personally attacked from your biggest fan shoutout 😂 0:54 However, on that note another good video mate! 👌🏻

Such logic puzzles are always fun. All the best Valentin

Hello A good comparison video there, Although I have to say, as an N gauge modeller, I personally prefer the Sawyer Models Mystrey Bags (and he has recently changed how these are done, and are now £10 only, no more £20 or £30 plus bags). I have had several of Sawyers about 6 or 7 now, (bought 2 last weekend...lol) although never tried the Rocket Railways ones (do they do those for N gauge?). Also I can add that there is a firm called "North Western Models" (they do small white metal, plastic and laser cut models and items) and they now do a 'Mystrey Box', for both N and OO gauge, although these are around £25 (for the N gauge one, not sure how much the OO one is), which might be worth a try if your feeling flush...lol. Good video though, thanks.

The best ideas are developed by trying new methods and ways. The cliff already looks good, with additional green (moss, very small bushes and gras) it will even look better. Keep up the good work. All the best Valentin

Crazy stuff that foam. I’ve used it on my layout a little and it can have a kind of its own 😂. Well done for getting the end result 👏

I love experimenting, always something to learn.

you and me both mate except mine is in the garden , muddling ahead

Hey, good on ya for percevering with that foam monster, lol. It takes a lot of imaginating to get to your end goal. My wife has none, so I always get funny looks from her at the start of a project.

Not a bad idea for extra bits on my alien landscape on my layout . I’ve used a multitude of things for landscape but not this yet 😊

Dear Sir, Methinks these British locos are very good looking. I was lucky to acquire some Hornbys, but they are all steam 0-4-0s. But, these green classes 35, 37, 45s are great. Cheers frm Brazil!

Should have cleaned the commutator whilst the two sides of the motor body were separated. Basic oiling on the moving parts and grease on the cogs, and oil the axles for the two none driving wheels

Great channel, plenty of hands on benchwork, subbed.

Instead of glue you could use double sided tape.

Good value

The dog seems to approve

Hello I've had five of these Sawyer Model 'Mystery Bags' so far and every time I see thier stand at a show I will buy one. I've all sorts of stuff in them but all useful in some way and those little bits (like the Peco milk churns and things like that) are the sort of things that you wouldn't want to buy on their own and always worth more than what I paid. A great bit of fun. Just for info, Andy Sawyer did tell me he saw what Rocket Railways were doing and decided to do it differently and give people 'value for money' bags instead some items are pre-owned but of reasonable quality. Thanks

the D prefix went over into the early BR blue period ,, it is known as pre TOPS ,, the tops system was an automated system introduced for the monitoring and tracking of locomotives so they knew what types were available and where and if they needed re fueling servicing etc

Been looking for that mail hanger but no one seems to sell them anywhere

I was wondering why you only put glue on one side of the flatbed when you were laying the stir sticks

You need grease the gears.

Always my experience although I can usually get to them. One has been at a similar location as you are experiencing and I eventually realized the point was not sitting completely flat. It was just enough to lift the loco off tgd track especially at slow speeds . I continually keep a keen eye on what’s going on and often it is a case of adding another pin somewhere. Good luck with that

Congratulations on your century

Nice ,like your style 👌😎☕️ regards Fred

Very nice little score you made there. Dogs are the same across the world, interested in stuff they shouldn't be. Gotta love em' though.
