The British Rail 08 class is a remarkable loco in real life. Some are expected to reach their 100 years in service they are so reliable and well made.
S is an ideal scale in many ways and a shame it never took off globally.
The nickname for the 08s is Gronks from the sound they make. They're the shunting workhorse for shunting in the UK. Some even made it to the Netherlands.
and Irish railways had a couple of variants which worked the freight yards in Dublin for decades. Lima even brought out a OO Gauge in CIE livery back in the early 80s.
Nice, cheers Steve, I enjoyed this. Bear in mind that the British loading gauge is a lot smaller than in North America (and Europe... and probably just about everywhere else) so the BR Class 08 in TT looks a lot closer to North American N scale in size. If you put a real life 08 next to an EMD SW7, you would definitely notice a significant difference - 11' 9" vs 14' 6" in height and 8' 6" vs 10' 2" width. So a TT SW7 will look closer to halfway between N and HO.
Oh, and strictly speaking, the BR Class 08 is a shunter, not a switcher... we have no switchers, we have no clue what switching means 😉😅
Thanks for your content - I don't think I've commented often but I do enjoy and appreciate what you share.
S scale was great because it's the right scale with hot wheels
TT scale is great almost the size of HO but a smaller radius of track.
TT Scale the orphan American scale.
I've seen numerous S scale freight cars and cabooses on ebay and at train shows. Mind that they are mostly vintage built kits, but still pretty good.
Trix Express in the 60s had a side shoe pick-up on some of their DC models. A bit like Marklin 3 rail AC with a single small show for one of the rails.
Great review. I have seen a couple TT train videos but its really hard to tell actual size but your video shows that clearly.
The S locomotive is from the same tooling as the original America Flyer from the late. 50’s so it has the same level of detail and oversize cab which was made big enough to fit the motor
S scale in New Zealand is a popular niche scale using Sn3 1/2 as this ttanslates HO track to New Zealand 3 1/2 foot track gauge.
Personally, I think it was really progressive of Lionel to allow someone who was dropped on his head as a child to design the power pickup system on their American Flyer locomotives.
Nice review! Liking S scale!👍👍
In the uk its khowned as the 08 shunter
Bad comparisons as the British loading gauge is a lot smaller than the US loading gauge.
You are comparing apples with oranges.
Good video…note uk n scale is 1:148 so in reality much smaller than us n scale
1:148 is significantly *larger* than 1:160.
May I suggestion you get a dapol n guage class 121
British TT is 3mm scale at 1: 100. That 08 is to continental 1: 120, making it totally incompatable with British TT. All because Hornby does NOT listen to its customers and modellers
Goodness. This gets more complicated the more I hear about it (scale variations, etc)
@@StevesTrains Hornby's fault. Had they listened to the 3mm scale society and made the models to 1/100 scale the sales would have,in all probability, gone through the roof. Thus making 3mm scale more attractive to a wider section of the hobby.
Scales are more complicated for G gauge because of the models done as mainline like Aristo and narrow gauge like Bachmann
S and TT are both good scales if you want to do Narrow Gauge. The smaller scale track sizes are suitable for some narrow gauges. N and Z mechs are good for TTn42, TTn30.
I’ve settled on “Z” scale.
6:28 Is that a remote uncouple feature, or just a sound effect feature?
It has remote couplers (they open with the button press)
Are you gonna build s layout if you are building a layout for the uk locos if you tipe uk shunting yards you will get the inspiration and information for building a uk layout wish I could send
Pictures of uk railways 😊👍👍🚂🚂
TT SCALE PIKO
america doesn't have sets you can buy and operate even if you have to buy it from a forien country
WRONG AGAIN STEVE! AMERICAN MODELS HAS A FULL LINE OF LOCOMOTIVES AND ROLLING STOCK !! WITH HIRAIL WHEELS OR SCALE WHEELS AND KADEE COUPLERS!!!!!
Interesting. I never came across that site in searches before.
No need to yell!
