- A look at the Hornby Mixed Freight digital train set (R.1126) including a review of the individual contents, a quick look at DCC control with the Hornby Select, and everything in operation.
Very good and detailed review. I just bought this set after 45 years away from the hobby. Could not decide on DC or DCC but finally opted for the future and DCC. The set arrived yesterday still in its box but looking forward to setting it up and running the two locos in the very near future. Looks like a very nice set.
Glad you liked it. I am hoping to begin work on the proper layout soon and will be doing videos from the start - planning through to completion. DCC is really easy to use and adds so much to the operation of the layout.
Hornby OO scale trains are great! Bachmann Branchline, too!
I like that mustard-coloured Private Owner truck.
Lovely set mate with 2 locos! Hornby do a lot of good sets to start you off. Great vid.🚂😀📹
Genuine thanks for this, its a great video. I had an early DCC 10 years ago, all Lenz and Bachmann sold up and regretted it. I realize these are not the same as class 37's and 25's from Bachmann but im going to buy after this vid.
Cheers Al
Looks a good set. and an ideal starter
Thankyou for this video. I’m 27 and thinking about getting into the hobby and this looks like a great set
8:46 Interesting seeing that comparison... I had that old Hornby 08 shunter as a kid, it riled me then that it didn't have the external wheel frames like the real thing! Passed hands long ago, I plan to get one in N gauge.
Nice video,, Look forward to seeing your layout develop ,,, I wish my N gauge loco would run that nicely at slow speed ,,,nice controller explanation,,, many thanks
@BR75069 - Not sure. Might go for one in old BR blue or the sector railfreight. I love my Bachmann 47 and was so impressed I will probably get a Bachmann.
Nice review. I have this set myself, and it was interesting to hear your thoughts on it.
Really enjoyed this review, I always wanted a train set as a kid but alas Santa never brought me one, but watching your vid has got me very interested, even though I'm now nearly sixty! The DCC seems much simpler to operate and I really do fancy a small end to end shelf type layout. Keep your reviews coming, have subbed.
Cut a sponge to size, paint the top of them for coal, flat black, or for gravel, tan, and you'll have a load to fill the empty open wagons. Lightweight and easy to insert or remove, and not very expensive.
Thanks for that - i'll give that a go.
If this doesn't do the job good enough, glue some hobby coal to the top of the sponge. It will probably look better than what you can buy.
Useful review, and well presented. This told me a lot. The slow running speed is pretty good. Certainly better slow running than a cheap Bachmann set I've seen.
You seem to get what you pay for with DCC decoders but this is pretty darn good for entry level. I was impressed.
Thanks for your comments. These little engines run ok but they are not to good across insulfrog points due to limited pick-ups and short wheel-base.
@BR75069 - it runs ok on DC but its kind of 'digital' as its stop or go with no fine control between static and full speed. I am hoping to get a new 37. The 900 DC controller is great for running in the new locos.
@geezenstacks well my opinion the best livery for a class 37 is the railfreight grey with a red stripe at the bottom. Basicly the same livery as your class 31 by hornby
These locos do not have the standard nmra couplings - take a look at 2.42 in the video. The couplings are bolted on but it should be possible to attach different ones.
Very good video and review.
great little set there :)
It’s a j83 not a jinty although the old version of this train set the Mixed Goods had an 08 and jinty
you are indeed correct - just had a look at images of both and also confirmed by engine number. Thank you!
@Crazy99Dave - this set comes with the basic Oval and extension pack A. The layout you see in the video includes extension packs B, C & D, plus a few other odd pieces of track.
Also have you tried mix and match of different trains across OO and HO, any videos on that please?
My first ever one.
Thanks for the quick response. Can we add sound for the mixed freight train? Do you have a video for the same ?
I totally agree with you!
It does, i'v got a few of them.
yes i enjoyed your video
Good comparisons
yeah i was thinking its a j83 wen you said the tank engine was a steam shunter
do you still use DC for your 34 year old class 37 by hornby which is in the intercity action mail set
@geezenstacks what new class 37 are you getting Bachmann, Vitrains ect
ive got a j83 in LNER livery thats second hand
Thanks for the detailed review.
I am newbie to this railroading as a hobby. In India, we get Hornby OO scale products easily than the other companies. My question
1) which is the number that I need to look for if I want to purchase another train such as from Bachmann or peko to run on the same track as that of Hornby mixed freight.
2) Is the EZ track system from bachmann compatible with this mixed freight train set and vice-versa ?
The track gauge is OO. There is another which is called HO and is fully compatible with OO, more prominent in the US and Europe. EZ track is HO and so fully compatible with Hornby OO and Peco.
can i switch the couplers with knuckle cupplers
I've subbed, well done
Are all those rail tracks part of the set?
Sadly no, the track that comes with the set is the loop with a single siding shown on the box.
I just bought the set is it easy to wire up with the added track packs?
Yes, very easy - just make sure all the track is powered for DCC
i just got this for 135 pounds at modelzone greatdeal used my 10 percent off as im with the hornby club
im preaty sure that the box van roof van comes off
the price?
@nicolas7757 - around £150
Do the two locos have the same chassy?
Hi Oliver. They are the same size and wheel configuration so possibly, yes.
Ok, thanks!!
yes
what class is the steam loco?
I believe that it is Fowler 3F 0-6-0T
ok thanks I just got the set I was wondering
no it is a lner j83
thanks
Jinty
It isn't a Jinty engine it's a j83
Thanks for the clarification.
@@geezenstacks no problem
I got that i cool it cool
