- This video features many of the secondhand locos I have bought over the past few years, either from toy fairs, off ebay or online sites that sell secondhand (e.g. Classic Rail, Clark Railworks). Each loco in the video cost less than £50, each coach less than £15, and each wagon less than £5. Locos featured include J72s by Mainline and Bachmann, and J52, J94, D49 and Flying Scotsman by Hornby, V2 and J39 by Bachmann and an O6 (LMS 8F) by Hornby Dublo.
Coaches are a mix of kitbuilt (Ian Kirk and Ratio) and Hornby, and wagons are all sorts from all the older manufacturers and kitbuilt. Rolling stock was all bought in job lots where you can make big savings.
Soms really nice locos there, running very well indeed in my opinion. Thanks for sharing 👍🚂
Thanks for a really nice video Richard. Very relaxing after a long day. Keep up the good work of showing that you can model effectively on a tight budget.
Hi Richard, I thought I would take a look at your channel after your kind comments on mine. I totally agree with your views on saving money when buying Locos and rolling stock within a budget. You have some very nice Trains running in this video which proves you can get a lot of pleasure from these older models at reasonable cost. Cheers, Paul.👍👍🙏
Considering that the LNER was always impoverished, yet succeeded at innovating and constantly improving in spite of such, makes this little budget running session quite the appropriate event! with a little attention, I doubt many would even comprehend that the budget was tight.
Hello. I was directed to your channel by Adi Pullen, after sharing with him my interest in the GER/BR(E). Glad he did & I've now subscribed.
My J52 & J72s look great, but as you say, are not great runners. My B1s are pretty ancient too, although I did resist the tempation to snap up a new example at Rails of Sheffield beung offered for £99 plus a 5% bank holiday discount. There was also a new Q6 for sale somewhere for well under £100.
I have several tender driven A3s, which still run extremely well, as does an early loco driven Flying Scotsman (the one that made a chufding sound via a piecw of sandpaper under the tender). I also picked up a loco drive Prince Palatine a while ago for not much more than £50. She runs fine too.
Personally, I like the Hornby B17s, but have - despite Adi's excllent review - decided not to buy the new stramlined version.
Thanks for sharing.
I can receommend both the Hornby B1 and the B17 - really good runners. I've got an older B12 and one of the newer versions, and although the newer one costs way more, is more accurate, has 12 wheel pick-up and is DCC ready, it doesn't really run much better (in my experience).
@richardhiggins6471 I'll keep a look out for a Hornby B1. Not seen one in a while. I have several B17s (Inc 2 Norwich City's/Cities - I plan to rename/ renumber one to Hull City). I replaced the original traction tyres with Marklin items and they seem to have made a big improvement in performance. I also have a couple of split chassis V2s, but they're not great runners, although the LNER livered version is better now I've changed the tender wheels from the awful original plastic items to metal examples.
Hi Richard
I hope you are well

Hi Adi, I've been very busy with work until recently (which is why I haven't posted any videos for ages), but now that I've got a bit of free time I will have a nice relaxing watch of your video. Best wishes,
Richard
