Peter who sent me the Bachmann Jinty also sent me this Hornby one. It's a complete non runner and has a loose body shell. FAQ - ko-fi.com/post... Support - ko-fi.com/00bi...
I still love my ancient R52s 3F 47606 with its smoke unit from the late 60’s. I repainted and detailed it with metal handrails and upgraded the XO4 motor to a 5-pole Airfix motor when I was a sprig. It was my birthday present when was 6 back in 1970. Still a stalwart favourite.
These videos are absolutely brilliant. As a former 00 gauge modeller, I find them informative and clear on what is what. I always look forward to seeing new videos on here, especially the ones on the older stuff (ie Triang and Jouef).
Hello Bill. I thoroughly enjoy your videos, on several levels. I am always learning and I think you have a terrific compact layout. I live in Australiam my father was born in Kirkcaldy and I was born in Reading. We immigrated in 1964.... so I am not a young man, but can't wait to get started!!!! Enough of my blethering,,,,, please show more of your layout? Kind regards and thank you once again. Keith Blyth
Brilliant video again My jinty have the x04 motor in theme I love how you explain what you are doing and which locomotive you like keep up your brilliant work and videos Bernard
I've got my old 16440 that I got when I was 6 as part of the Country Local set. I've got it running and obtained some new traction tyres courtesy of Elaine's Trains. I cannot recommend the jinty enough they're great little locos and you can pick up a tidy example on ebay for not too much.
Brill Bill - Supersmooth Runner, would love to get any one of my 6 Hornby ones to run like that - your a braver man than me dealing with a Mainline/Bachman Good luck with that mate 👍🏻
Hi 00 Bill Cab off for making a decent locomotive out of something that should really only be used for spare parts. Impressive. Excellent video - usefull tips as always. Mogens V. Denmark
I have the R.052 Hornby LMS version with the same body tooling. It has the X03 motor without traction tyres or sprung rear axle and is a little noisier but is a very smooth runner all the same. I think the Hornby is the more solid design but the Bachmann is better detailed. The Hornby dates from 1978 so must be an earlier tooling than the Bachmann. I prefer the Hornby version because it is cheaper and is good enough looking for me, but it depends on what you prefer. I would like a black version though. It was nice watching both versions going round.
Another great fix. Bit worried about the red Range Rover in the station car park. Has it been stolen and dumped? I’ve noticed it hasn’t moved for ages. Perhaps P.C. plod should check it out, may not even be taxed. All the best Bill. Mick.
Nice work. I wondered why you didn't strip the wheels off first? They would always need a clean? I have 2 Tri-ang Jinty's with X04 motors from the 1950's and 1960's. Both are great runners and quite quiet on my old layouts. Your newer version seems louder in comparison. Great clip idea. Monique from Brisbane
Hi Bill watched your layout update video and you said you didn't need your station building l would like it if no else has claimed it. Regards Ronald Morritt @ Willenhall Parkway
Hi Bill. Good job, well done. I happen to possess 2 x Hornby LMS maroon Jintys. One has ‘LMS’ down both sides, and the other has the running number down both sides; both are in lovely condition with all couplings, buffers & vacuum pipes present and correct. I purchased them second-hand from the well known auction site and, after my usual service on locos purchased this way, are nice little runners, although they were fine even before I serviced them. The one with the numbers down the sides is definitely a later release as its Hornby number is ‘R301’, whereas the other one has the Hornby number ‘R052’. Unfortunately, they are rarely used and just sit there in a box as, when shunting is required, I use my blue Hornby S&DJR Jinty. I suppose I should move them on to someone who has use for them but I’ve never gotten around to it. If you are interested, just give me shout. Paul. 👍
Bill. Okay. I just thought I'd mention it as, in your previous video, you stated that you was after a maroon LMS Jinty. I wasn't going to ask for any money but, as you are not presently taking anything else on board, another time maybe. All the best, Paul.
Hi Bill ,, i suppose you could always make a failsafe for the little bras tab you put in it for the body and that be to put a small screw through the the plastic and into the brass tab and it would never fall off ,, just a thought. Also these x7 motors you are talking about there & do you have an idea of what year they came out in them jintys and were them motors put into other locos as hornby triang use to do. Cheers from John in Australia
Type 7 motors are used in all sorts of locos. There are several based on this chassis, including 'Thomas' and the open-cab Pannier. (There's probably a Class 08 shunter using the same chassis too!) The Class 58 uses a tiny motor, so it may be one of these.

I never thought of using 9 volt batteries as loco supports. Good call. Carry on !

Think it's broken down. Like most Range Rovers do....
Hihi that’s what I was thinking Bill 😂
If no one claims it you could get a V5 issued and claim it. Decent mk1 Range Rovers are worth decent money these days!
@@robinforrest7680 - I think that's a P38 (much later) and less desired. But yes, good original Range Rovers can be worth a mint.
Very Good.
Nice work.

Bill another excellent video, could you tell me what thickness of brass you use to make the clips to hold the body. Thanks Frank

I would be interested in the later one. However, I just don't have time to look at anything on top of what I have at the moment!

Hi Bill ,,
i suppose you could always make a failsafe for the little bras tab you put in it for the body and that be to put a small screw through the the plastic and into the brass tab and it would never fall off ,, just a thought.
Also these x7 motors you are talking about there & do you have an idea of what year they came out in them jintys and were them motors put into other locos as hornby triang use to do.

Could you put a Bachmann body on the Hornby chassis?
Would it make more sense the other way around
It depends which mechanism you prefer I suppose
Nice work Bill
Nick Australia
Nice one !
cool vid thanks lee
Nice fix on that body clip - what thickness of brass did you use?
0.5mm
How do You replace broken front clips? Same method?
Not sure how practical it would be to replace the front clips. I'd be looking for a replacement part.
