- How much loco power do you really need? In this video I reveal the loco fleet on my private 00 gauge model railway layout and the reasons why they are here!

Buying too much stuff is an easy trap to fall in to. I reveal the loco fleet on my own 00 gauge layout, explain why I bought them or have them here. Sorry about the noise from the Peak Class 45…..forget where the mute button was…but anyway….enjoy….
I have fallen into the trap of buying "too many" locos - over 100 of them. But for me, this has nothing to do with status, it's all to do with having a choice of locos to run and, of course, not all at the same time! I too have my favourite locos - I really love the sound of the Class 37 and some of its stable-mates. I love your attitude of not just binning non-working locos and using them as static models on the layout. Good luck with the servicing and repairs.
@@PaulSmith-pl7fo Many thanks for your continued support Paul. I do realise that not everyone associates stock quantity with status and I possibly should have made that clearer in the video. The repairs/upgrades to my own fleet for my private layout will take place in due course. i also said that the 33 was probably my favourite loco of all time but since releasing the video I forgot about the Hymeks and Westerns that I also really love. Too many locos = too many mistakes maybe lol
nice haul there my friend
Thanks for the visit all though it is really more a collection of hand-picked locos for a memory :)
nice collection of locos, i have a collection of hornby pacers that i keep meaning to upgrade to dcc, ive just put a new motor into an original old hornby br blue hst so it could be dcc fitted
Sounds great! Very easy to discard old stuff and buy new but then we cease to become scale model engineers :) Many thanks for viewing and leaving a comment :)
Roger - much 'stuff' is acquired on the basis of what was on sale at any given point in time over the decades.
Today production runs are smaller so it can be a case of buying new items while they are available.
Notwithstanding, a lot gets superseded and sold-on as the choice expands with new models being released - Colin
_Still got my Mainline D49 and a Lima EDL albeit on a Hornby chassis with Ultrascale wheels......_
All very true and valid points there Colin. As ever, many thanks for viewing and taking time to leave a comment :)
Ive got far too much stuff …
I got carried away when retuning to the hobby and working abroad .. the perils of e bey.
However a lot of the stock I bought was lower quality , and my range or area and epoch was too wide.
Sorforthilfe the last few years I’ve sold more than I’ve bought.
So now I have less stuff ( Slightly) but it’s higher quality and a more focused collection …
WE all have had similar experiences I think. Part of me thinks why bother to fix/upgrade my old stuff when newer and better is out there but I keep coming back to my ethos that we are all scale model engineers so why not keep older items going? Many thanks for viewing and taking the time to comment :)
You'll find your own limits so there are never too many train items. 😅
Happy modelling
Well I'm not sure about never too many :) but as ever, many thanks for viewing and taking the time to comment Sir
Class 03 shunters were 0 6 0 wheel arrangement.
Correct sir and very well spotted.....A senior moment as an old man tries to mke another interesting RUclips video :) Many thanks for your time and your comment
No probs - keep up the good work.
I don't throw anything out. I still have a jinty I got for Christmas about 56 years ago and my older brothers princess which needs a little work. I don't buy new models to replace older ones either.
That is so good to know. I still have the Jinty that my father bought. It is at least 60 years old now and it still works! It all just shows that quality at the point of manufacture will always stand up! Thanks for viewing and taking the time to leave a comment :)
Hang on a minute c'mon, Scrap them apart from the 45 what about the famous five, Cl 35 Cl 42 CL 43 CL46 and the best of the best CLASS 52!
