Its sad that hornby buchured it to make Thomas

I dont think the e2s ever carried South eastern and chattam rail way livery

Nice to see a smooth running CN set John. The red and yellow boxcars have eluded me so far. I do have a ew of the CN diesels but all have the knurled wheels and don't run too good. The Ivatt has always been a favourite of mine but I don't have one of those either.

Great fun as always John! Reminds me of when I used to freely run Tri-ang British and Canadian models together. Love your Merit forest!😊

The Ivatt box (according to my Guide) is 76/77 - The Ivatt that I Have is a bit Noisy, but the more she runs the Quieter she Gets as she pulls her Royal Daylight Tankers- those Box Cars Look absolutely Mint - Gotta love the Classics 😄👍🏻

Nice running session John cheers Patrick Quinn IRL

Gerry, Gerry, Gerry😁😁👍👍👏👏

Nice colourful selection John. Interesting comparison between the B.R. & Canadian stock, combined with entertainment from Gerry Giraffe too. Great start to the day!

Hi John, good idea to buy another set. I actually have two sets, one has black undercarriage and the other silver. This I think depended on when they were made.Yours are in nicer condition than mine. They look great. I also have a couple of power/dummy grey/blue pullmans

500 quid, was that for a return journey? You guys must have been made of money back in those days. Very nice model mate, it runs very well. Steven.

Brilliant! One of my (many) favourite Tri-ang items, certainly my favourite diesel. Was given my first Blue Pullman set in 1968 by my Grandfather, but sadly it went missing somewhere over the years. I have gradually collected most of the Tri-ang & Tri-ang Hornby Variants but the oddball 5th variant is proving difficult to complete a set, the rare rail blue yellow nose version only made in a small batch. Perhaps this was due to running out of Nanking blue colour ingredients. I have a fond affiliation with the Blue Pullman, and the later Grey style, as an Uncle was a steward on them during the late 60's/early 70's and he got us free tickets now and then, Paddington here we come! Thanks for another great video John bringing back fond memories.

Always loved this set! I don't think the modifications made by Tri-ang later on did anything for it, but they were only following BR practice at the time. It is ironic that the HST became the basis for a resurrected version of the Blue Pullman!🙂

I love the older models I find them more interesting somehow.That is a beauty 😃👍

Great video John, I've got all four versions of this iconic model. Michael

I Resonate with your Logic on this one and Great Result - Very Smart Indeed 👍🏻✨

just won one on a famous site, mint its coming today i hadn't noticed the frosted windows great vid thanks

Splined wheels keep the track clean😁👍👍

Hi John, you are correct that the multiple-coupling connectors on the Lima 50s need touching up, and it looks like you have done an excellent job - I have tried getting 50149 with these well painted wondering if sometimes they came out of the factory with a good finish, but they are rare, and maybe touched up by someone. Please can you say which orange paint you use as it looks quite correct? Thanks for another great video!

Hi Jon, I really like the Deltic. That's a nice one and i imagine quite rare. All the best. Carl.

i run a lot of the old triang. triang/hornby locos from the sixties/seventies sometimes putting some graphite (pencil lead) on the worm drive can help. great models from the time they were toy trains.

Greetings again John! I believe the Hymek initially appeared in the duo-tone Green colours for the first part of 1967, then went to blue and yellow through the Tri-ang-Hornby and Hornby Railways period to reappear in green in 1978. There were blue variations as with the other diesels and Mark 1 coaches. Another delightful video!😊

Hi John, very nice finds you have there. I've had a look through the relevant catalogues, there were two Tri-ang Hornby Flying Scotsman sets, R605 in 1970 which had two Thompson coaches and a Pullman car; and your set, R608 for 1971/72 with two Thompson coaches. Into the Hornby days, the set became RS 508 for 1973, again with just the two Thompson coaches. There was no Flying Scotsman set listed in the 1974 Catalogue, but one returned in 1975 as the R549 with two Thompson all 3rd and one Brake 3rd coaches. This set became R176 in 1976, which was the last year the Thompson coaches were produced. As you noted, it is a shame that not more variants of the Thompsons were made. I believe the reason these coaches did not have interiors was due the them being a compromise based on the unit style mark 1's, and are slightly under scale in length as they use the mk1 underframe & bogies, and the window & door layout is different to the B.R. style sides used for all the other models. However there is a chap selling 3D printed interiors to fit the Thompson's on Ebay which will improve them greatly. There was indeed an Electric Blue Version of the Hymek made for a short time, along with the Brush type 2 class 31 and the type 3 class 37 plus the overhead electric loco's. Another thoroughly enjoyable video John, Hope my ramblings are of interest.

🤤🤤😁👍👍

Hi John, I have one Flying Scotsman but I couldn't say which version it is. It has a tender drive so no huff-chuff. A very nice runner and much quieter than yours. Hymeks, I have two, one with a Tri-ang drive and one with a Hornby drive. Neither one is terribly reliable. Yours seems to run very nicely. David.

Good vid John. The one thing I never repair is the chuff chuff set-up. It's like scraping your fingernails over a chalkboard for me. Although the lit firebox and the chuff chuff was probably the equivalent back then, what dcc is today. I'm probably in the minority on that point. Steven.

Excellent video again John. Handrails for Deeley 3F are available on eBay.

Lovely to see 017, limited edition 1000 yes. I started off collecting tri-ang but I am on a quest of getting one example of each deltic lima did. Yours is a lovely runner, exactly as they can run with TLC. No need for the CD motors etc. I have one that comfortably pulls 12 of those Mk2s and barely shows any signs of slowing. I do find with the later ones (with the better gearing) often click and have flash on the first gear's teeth. Often there are sprue bumps on the face of the gear that make that whining noise, but i've worked mine to be as quiet as the 'Railroad Plus' stuff hornby do today. How much did you get 017 for? I'm trying to get bargains only! Lovely to see the set going round as it left the factory to do. All the best Will

You were very lucky to find that Midlander set in such good condition John. It's a treasure.

Very nice running John but the gem of the day is that RS8 Midlander set.

Thank you for showing us your Midlander set John, It brought back very happy memories of my very first train set. I still have the contents, though sadly not the box, and in a fit of madness in my early teens painted the loco B.R unlined black. I have since acquired an excellent boxed set to keep safe. I have also left a further comment on your treasure chest video. once again a very enjoyable video, look forward to the next instalment.

Sorry for not leaving a comment i always watched your videos when posted very informative and a joy to watch thanks Patrick Quinn IRL

🤤🤤😁, the next Vid. will be Jerry stretching his axle boxes😉👍👍

As a child, I became aware of HO when I received the br lima 33 with continental couplers for Christmas. The year later I received the deltic with British couplers but I felt it was still HO as the scale didnt feel right to my youthful eyes

Great selection of locos and stock, and liked seeing the early blue 08 - one I've never had!

lovely running session

great vid which track system do you pefer super 4 or the new track

Hi John, I really enjoyed the video. That's a cracking Midlander set in great condition. All the best. Carl.

Greetings again John! I have the 'Midlander" set as well. I don't believe the maroon 3F ever appeared with BR emblems in a production version, but I've been surprised before!!😊

🤤😬👍👍

Good to see more variants of popular long running models. Much prefer this version of the class 37 than the large logo one. The B12 also looks superb pulling the B.R. Mk1's. Looking forward to seeing the Midlander set, once again you are bringing back wonderful childhood memories for me John. I was given the Midlander set by my Grandfather for my third Birthday, along with a B.R. Jinty and some wagons. I can still hear my Mother saying "See, I told you all he'd do was push it along the carpet!" Unfortunately not boxed, but I still have them today, but in a fit of madness at around aged 12 I spray painted the Deely 3F Black! Doesn't look bad though, must get round to finishing off by numbering it one day! Thank you for evoking more happy memories John.

Two really nice models their John. Have to admit the B 12 was an early favourite of mine. I have the Lima version of your next subject, its HO scale tender drive. Runs really well though. Steven.

Hi there new subscriber 😊👍✌️I have been running one of those little 040 today,Hattons were selling them for £15 what a bargain.

" R " might refer to Rovex - Triang. ? The couplings would be the clue. Can't see the detail. The Signal Box looks Hornby Dublo original. The Ringfield Motor referred to was a Hornby Dublo development.Good video of trains running - good perspective .

The front cover of these catalogues always had a mouse hidden somewhere

👍

What a find! Nice loco. Everything looks in great condition. Thanks for sharing

that`s an interesting find..never heard of these boxes..nice running,tunnel looks good,fits in well..

Nice find there John. Be interesting to find out exactly how these sets were distributed. You're a lucky chap to find that one, well done.

Good find/acquisition🤤🤤🤤🤤 2nd train set😁👏👏👍👍

Very soothing , the Co Bo could be on a Barrow Lancaster with through sleeper coach for Euston 😊👍
