One of the beautiful Princess Royal Class steam locos. Absolutely wonderful.
Cheers Norbert - I fully agree with you! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Great engine Sam, and I definitely agree that this period is the 'Golden Age'- locos ran well, were reasonably detailed and didn't cost a fortune!
Thanks mate - it really was - I don't have a bad loco from that era!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
The weathering is done perfectly !! A stunning loco!! Cheers Onno.
Thanks Onno, glad you thought it was good! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
In my opinion Sam, factory weathering is always crap. Doing your own weathering is always better. Removing factory weathering is somewhat difficult
Yeah that's probably a fair comment - I've heard quite a few people saying that about factory weathering!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I agree
Jake darling don't be rude
Don't be rude... What?
If you want to see crap, you should see my attempt at weathering. I’ll take factory weathering when available.
Excellent review video of this incredible model of the Princess Royal Sam 👍😉 When Hornby does release this model of this locomotive, I'm getting one in BR blue livery with red & cream ex-LMS coaches.
Thanks a lot Joe! Ooh that's awesome - let's hope they do release these again some day! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Nice loco I love the LMS princess’
Thanks mate - me too - they're amazing aren't they?? :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Sam'sTrains the princess royal looks a like a black 5
Very pretty loco!
I don't think the weathering ruins it. But, for this loco, I would prefer an unweathered version. :-)
That makes two of us
Thanks Sammy! I agree - I do wish this was un-weathered!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Hello Sam Another Great video keep up the Great Work and i hope your gonna have a great Christmas this year ;)
Hey Lazer, thanks very much mate! Hope you have a wonderful Christmas too!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
oooo looks amazing great looking weathering too! nice vid sam!
-Harvey
PS. I bought a hornby GWR king charles 2 train pack cant wait for it!
Thanks Harvey - I just love this one! Ooh that's amazing - hope you really enjoy the train pack mate!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Wow that is lovely! Especially in the blue!, I may have to consider buying this with my pocket money from Christmas, great video, Austin
Thanks Austin - I agree, just a gorgeous engine! I can definitely recommend it - just make sure you get one in good condition! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Back in November 2017, I also bought one of these Princess Royals. Mine is in BR Green and she is 46212 'Duchess of Kent'. I got her from a small model shop in a town called Ngongotaha for $150 (I think that equals to £75). Detail wise - I think she's half way between the Railroad and Railways Ranges. Sadly mine doesn't run too well, but I still think she's a nice piece of kit, if you will.
And this is where the silly part comes in. Just four days after I bought the Princess Royal, I got a brand-new Hornby Peppercorn K1. That engine was $199, and she's in BR lined black with the number 62032. I probably should run the K1 again soon, since I haven't done so in a while.
Great to hear you got one too £75 sounds about spot on! I would agree though, it's certainly between the Railroad and Railways range! And the K1s really are fantastic too! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
You can definitely see the GWR influence on this loco.
Ps that wheel slip was glorious Sam.
Yeah you can actually - interesting point! Ooh I agree - I liked that too! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Very nice. She looks good in blue doesnt she! Great vid sam well done
Thanks mate, yes indeed - just love these in the blue! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
A very nice loco and tender. The weathering looks nicely realistic.
Thanks a lot Scott, glad you thought so! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Looks very Beautiful! Nice video once again.
Fun fact of the day! Blue is the most liked color
Thanks a lot mate! Ooh is that so? I can see why! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
great video I still run the triang princess with x04 motor.basic detail in the early 1960s and no one complained
Ahh yes - I still love my tri-ang princesses - they're so reliable!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
WOW, that crimson loco is just beautiful. That would be my choice.
Ooh I know - the crimson really is smart! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
The princess royal is fantastic it’s looks very nice great job sam
Thanks a lot Thi - glad you liked her! :D
Cheers mate,
Sam :)
Woah! What a huge and big 4-6-2 locomotive. I love the weathering effect on it. I always love british locomotives in BR Blue. :D
haha absolutely - and glad you liked the weathering too mate! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Hi Sam!! This is one of my favourite train reviews of one of my absolute favourite trains :) I love the princess royal class. I have the slightly older Princess Elizabeth from 2001 or 2003 (not sure) great model!
Thanks so much Luca, it is a lovely one! Lucky you - they are fantastic! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
I bet that Tri-ang loco was jealous at the end. Lol :D
haha yeah, a little! xD
Hi Sam, all three fine weather on the blue is in front. All the Best Brian 🤗
Thanks a lot Brian - glad you liked these mate!
Cheers,
Sam :)
With the weathering it is difficult because yes it adds realism to the loco but you can see non weathered ones in a pristine condition and they look lovely.
Great video
Daniel:)
I agree Daniel - that's the problem I have! Oh well - a nice mixture of weathered and non-weathered stock is perfect for me! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
A great revieview, Sam. The princess was a very atractive model, with amazing quality and perfomance, despite the age. I personaly think that the weathering is good, nothing out of this world, but Its very convincing model. Some people may think its bad, but to me it just adds more charm to the loco. Anyways, hope you're having a nice day, and I'll see you next time.
Thank you Valentino, really glad you liked this one - just a top notch model all around really! Glad you liked the weathering! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Ooooh this music in the beginn is so good for this Pacific ❤️
haha thank you - glad you liked it! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
I like it, the weathering makes me think it went through a muddy puddle, and I'm about a week away from getting the Tornado, it'll either be my birthday or Christmas.
Thanks Harry! haha yeah the weathering does make it look that way! Ooh awesome - I hope you love your Tornado! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Beautifull colour setting and lining, does the motor has a flywheel? superb driving indeed.
Thanks so much! I'm not certain about the flywheel - it's possible, but I will check! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
@@SamsTrains Yes pls. The best part of the videos is always the last part, when the train drives around with other trains. The part before is not bad either, it just a what I prefer.
I bought this 'new' after InterCity 82's (gone again) excellent review.This class is my favourite and I have five of them.
My green Princess Elizabeth has been weathered by Grimy Times, and shows how weathering should be done.
Ahh fantastic William - they are superb models for sure! Ooh wonderful - I've heard good things about Grimy Times!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Great Video Sam, Sorry I have been around for a long time just busy.
Thanks Chris :-)
That's okay Chris - great to see you again! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
That British Railways logo is beautiful! I want one... :-)
Ooh I know - Hornby always do a great job on those! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Sam'sTrains do you know where I could get a metal logo for display of this style? :-)
Its beautiful!
8 coaches is very impressive.
I've recently added to my chocolate and Creams for the newer hornby King class. Looks lovely :)
Lovely video
Thanks William - yeah I thought that was fairly good too! Ooh chocolate and creams must look amazing with a king - great idea! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
That is a beautiful model. I do like BR blue (though I can't choose between that and maroon, though I do prefer blue to red) the weathering does slightly spoil it for me, but, to those who like it, I have no qualms. Great video as always Sam.
Thanks Patrick - me too, always been a big BR Blue fan!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Good thing you showed the slow speed running Sam. It answers a question that was hanging over from the Bachmann H1 review. The LBSCR H1 prototype wheels were only one and a half inches larger than those on the Princess Royal Class - half a millimetre difference in 00 scale. That proves that with more thought, Bachmann could have made the H1 with better slow speed running if they had chosen the right gearing and motor combination.
When you know the size of the driving wheels, the top speed of the engine in real life, the starting rpm of the model's electric motor and its top speed, you can work out a good gear ratio in less than five minutes. Sometimes it's necessary to choose an electric motor with a lower top speed or lower starting voltage/speed. Well within the capabilities of any competent manufacturer. When it takes months of work to produce a detailed model, there's no excuse for a manufacturer not doing the small amount of work needed for proper motor and gear selection that will result in realistic running and an impression of quality.
That said, it looks like Hornby are getting it spot on!
I absolutely agree - I reckon it must be the gearing, and the 5 pole motor that does it - I still can't find a Pacific that runs better than these Hornby 2001 models! I agree with you - a little more care in mechanism design from Bachmann would go a long way!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Hornby's magnificent Big Boys Sam...superb....I've got one of the last of the Chinese built tender drive Princess Royals, and she's a superb runner....Bob
haha thanks Bob - yes these are really top notch! Yes I've seen a few of those tender driven ones too - they are great! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I love me a gorgeous 4-6-2.
Wonderful.
Me too - they're superb aren't they? :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Hi Sam great work merry Christmas and a happy new year from all of us at the BVR railway
Hey! Thanks so much for that - hope you have a very Merry Christmas too! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Just subscribed. Love the videos. Keep it up mate!
Thanks so much Andy, really hope you enjoy the channel mate!
Cheers,
Sam :)
Just say it Sam... trains used to be made in England in the Golden Era... now we at the mercy of the Oriental manufacturers and still paying British made prices! Cheers from Oz mukka.
I suppose so - though some Chinese models have been fantastic - far superior to the british-built ones!!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Well done Sam. Merry Christmas. :D
Thanks Kameron - Merry Christmas to you too! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
Great video Sam they look like great locomotives
Thanks David - they really are fantastic! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
Lovely!!!
Merry Christmas btw!!!!🎄
Thank you - Merry Christmas to you too! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
A nice loco review To brighten up my day
That's lovely to hear mate, thanks a lot!
Cheers,
Sam :)
Amazing vid as usual Sam!
Thanks so much Tobin! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Given Hornby's recent new tooling choices, I have a feeling a new Princess Royal class is in the works.
I know! Let's hope that does happen! :D
cheers,
Sam :)
oo i do love a princess class, i dont mind that weathering as its very minor i seem to all ways fall behind massively with your videos haha, think im gonna have to spend today trying to catch up
Me too mate - just fantastic! Not to worry mate - hope you enjoy any that you watch! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
got one of these in the LMS maroon absolutely love it
Fantastic - they really are lovely!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
The only videos I love on your channel is the reviews on the locomotives and I feel jealous that you have a lot of locomotives. Not me lol but I’m getting there soon. Takes time.
Hey Connor, really glad you like the reviews! Don't feel jealous - having so many engines means that I'm always having to maintain them! :O
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Sam'sTrains your welcome. Ok I will :)
Hey Sam is always great video and as you know I will always be a fan but I must go with the baby or blew the maroon one is nice but the blue one is my favorite blue is my favorite color keep up the good work
Thanks very much Stuart! Ooh yes good choice - I'm a huge fan of those too! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Lovely engines Princesses . I’ve a BR Crimson one from the same era. Curiously she is quite light footed. I might have a look at the forward bogie in case it’s sprung too much reducing tractive power . I’ve also a Triang Hornby Princess Elizabeth which is too short but as it was bought by my parents for Christmas back in 1971 it’s still one of my favourites.
Thanks a lot Russell - ahh fantastic! Strange to hear she's light footed, mine are noticeably very strong - yes the front bogey is often the culprit there, bending it up a touch might help!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I like them both, they are both beautiful :)
Ooh me too actually - they are both beautiful :3
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
That's quite a nice engine, especially when it's an older tooling!
I also noticed the first three Pullmans looked different than the rest! were they from a train pack or starter set?
Thanks a lot mate - yeah I agree, very impressive for an older loco! Yes the three odd ones were the Queen of Scots coaches - slightly different livery on those!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Amazing review on a LMS locomotive Sam.
Thanks a lot mate - glad you enjoyed this one! :3
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I agree with you Sam about the weathering on the tender. It's a bit too high really and it does detract from the details on the tender. I personally love weathered locomotives, but too much does take away the realism. Great job on the review and video!
Thanks mate - yeah it's odd that - no idea why it's more heavily weathered than on the loco!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Great video and review of one of my 3 favourite LMS classes, the other two being the Royal Scot and Jubilee. The BR Express Blue really suits the Princess Royal as it does the Duchess. I really believe if Hornby can re-tool the Duchess then surely they can do the same for the Princess Royal. On a totally different note i have finally bought a Large Logo Hornby class 50, it is a recent release which is named "Leviathan". I look forward to your next video as always. Be well and keep safe, regards Gary.
Thanks a lot mate! Ooh yes, the Scot and Jubilee are superb too! I agree - I'd love to see a brand new Princess in the range... or even a re-release of this one! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
This is a gorgeous loco! Thanks for sharing it with us. As always, your content is awesome! (P.S. I love weathering on models, especially steam locos; it gives them that extra realism: steam trains were really grimy in real life, so nice clean locos look good but look less realistic. That being said, I think they went a bit overboard on the tender when compared to the loco.)
My pleasure mate, much appreciated! Ooh so you weather them yourself then? You must be very skilled! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
☺️ Actually, I've just come back to model trains after a couple of decades (I used to build a layout with my dad when I was a kid). In fact, I just got my first OO loco today in the mail! Following your recommendations, I finally chose the Gresley A1 Doncaster (with the Sheffield Pullman set, in order to get me started with track and accessories) and was able to get it half the listed price in an eBay auction! So I'm pretty happy! It's smaller than what I thought it would be... but, then again, last time I had one I was about 7-8... so the world looked bigger back then, hahaha. It's really a beauty, like you said. Even though it might not be as detailed as others, being that small, it just looks so delicately detailed. Anyway, I'm not at all skilled... I dabble; and I remember we used to weather our trains back then -or, rather, my dad did that and I watched him do it- but I'm not planning on weathering this one because I'm sure it'd muck it up. I do however weather other things, with varying degrees of success. In fact, I've just weathered a Christmas tree toy train set (the kind that goes around the tree half way up the tree) and it doesn't look bad: it gives it a nice vintage feel where it used to have a very plasticy look. (I also put some LEDs in its cars and it now looks like it cost 3 times as much as it did!)
Amazing video Sam that’s a hard choice which one I prefer lol
Thanks James - definitely a very hard choice!!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Sam'sTrains anytime Sam
Hi Sam, I love your intro, the only thing that I'm wondering about is: What engine is pulling the train?
haha thanks mate! That's a good question... I never made the engine... so we'll never know! ;D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Hi Sam, whats the longest you're comfortable running trains around your layout? I have an old Eddie Stobart Hauler set set up around the tree and I've oiled the loco. I just don't want to burn it out since its the only one I've got
Hey Cam - at a sensible speed, a loco can run miles and miles on a layout - as long as you keep things clean and fluff-free, it shouldn't be a problem! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Hey Sam,
Do you like the LMS Princess Royal Class or the Coronation Class?(excluding the streamliners)
Thanks...
I like them both! I prefer the Coronation though - not sure why! ;D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
The BR express blue looks great
Thanks Bernhard, I agree, it really does! :3
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
She’s a beautiful one for sure
Thanks a lot mate! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Great video as always :)
Thank you! :D
Lovely video sam been thinking of getting big LMS power myself since the biggest i got is a crab but anyways Merry Christmas mate
Thanks mate! Ooh fantastic - I can definitely recommend these! :D
Merry Christmas! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
Hi sam, just curious. On the 24th november i went to the NEC in birmingham for a comic convention, but as i was walking i saw there was a train show on at the same time, after i got home i saw you were at a train show. So was it at the NEC? shame if it was because i would have said hello.
Ps, nice loco, expecially the slow speed.
Hey Christopher - yeah that was happening in the same place at the same time, just in a different hall of course! Would have been great to meet you - maybe they'll happen at the same time next year?!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
The model is nice. I would say that the weathering would be great for use in dioramas that represents their final BR days or being in a coal yard.
Thanks a lot mate! Yeah that's true actually - for a realistic layout like that, it'd be just the job! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
She is so majestic looking
haha yes she is!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Great video. Looks like a nice model but I like mine to look clean. :)
Thanks mate! Yeah me too - I definitely prefer them looking clean too!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Great video Sam
Do you know what good oil to use on engines????
Thanks mate! Yes the Hemline sewing machine oil is great - you just need to find a good way to apply it! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Would be cool to see it unweathered and looking really “new” but it’s still really great
I agree! It would have been lovely to see her like that :(
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Looks great, only thing I don't like is the weathering, I like my engines clean. I have a Princess Arthur, which is similar only in red and she goes very well.
Thanks Ian! Yeah I agree actually - I do prefer my engines clean too!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I've got the Duchess of Kent in BR Green and she is a beautiful Princess Royal... Although weathering kinda kills it for me.
Although I'm getting Princess Alexandra with the Royal Scot Train Pack, she's a Coronation Class in BR Blue!
Ooh sounds lovely Jack - yeah I'm not a huge fan of the weathering either, I must admit that!
Sounds awesome mate - hope you enjoy! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
The princess royal class are sooooo good looking
And big
haha I know - they're just so attractive! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Sam, so I have the blue coronation class, and I've spotted your blue coronation coaches, and where did you get them?! All i've found is 1 of them on hattons for 39 pounds
Yeah sadly those are quite rare and expensive - ebay is a good bet - or wait for Hornby's announcements.... I have a strong feeling they may be about to release new ones in a train pack! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
@@SamsTrains i hope lmao. I think i may buy a different coach with similar colors, i found a few on hattons for a decent price
I got limited edition pack that is worth over £200 and is locomotive driven
I like the train and the weathering i love steam and diesel see you in 2019
Thanks a lot mate, see you in 2019!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I'm gonna start collecting trains and wooden trains too
That's awesome! Good luck with the collecting! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
You need to do a review of the Hornby R2447 Class 8P 'Princess' 4-6-2 46207 "Princess Arthur of Connaught" in BR Maroon.
Great idea Kenji, I'd like that! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
@@SamsTrains 00:08:47 - we should put the gift picture in front of the smoke box door.
Very nice loco, I do like both the blue and crimson lake liveries the latter just a little more but not much.
Thanks Rob! Yeah I love both too - I reckon the blue just about wins it for me though ;D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I think light weathering is most appropriate for the post-WW2 grouping and early BR era that this belongs to. In austerity Britain, loco cleaning wouldn't have been a huge priority. Unlike the inter-war grouping days when the railway companies would ensure their express locos would be clean, but even then they wouldn't always be as clean as you see in preservation.
Yeah that's very true - it's certainly realistic, but perhaps not all that attractive!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
The weathering on the loco is pretty much a good amount but I think they went over the top on the tender over all it’s a good loco also im getting an NEW sr q1 non weathered or Christmas love your videos there awesome
Thanks Corbin! Yeah I agree - the tender does look more ditched than the loco, haha! ;D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I do like the look of the Princess Royal class in weathered BR Blue but I would like to see an updated model in un-weathered BR Blue and with a painted cab interior. BR Green looks nice as well but my favorite has to be LMS Red
Thanks Conrad, me too - it would be fantastic to see a new Princess from Hornby - fingers crossed for their announcements! ;D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Hi Sam. I've always wanted to start my railway, but the problem is that I live in Colombia and if I want to buy a loco, I have to do it from a website like hattons, and then pay for the transport all the way from UK TO Colombia. The thing is, DC is more affordable to me, but it wolud be more complicated if then I'd like to try more than one loco at time and turn to DCC. What do you recommend me?
Hey Andres! Sorry to hear about that - is the postage very expensive then? DCC is great for running multiple locos and using sound but it is very expensive. I still have a lot of fun with my DC trains - so it's really up to you!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
@@SamsTrains Well, I'm not very interested in using sound or smoke. I guess I'll try DC because of the price and anyway I don't have enough space to make a large layout. Thanks for the answer Sam!
And yes, it is quite expensive to ship from UK TO Colombia, at least un Colombian "peso".
Sam, love the loco!
And, please can you do a video for how to do scenery?
Thanks for a really cool vid
- Ewan
Thanks a lot Ewan! Ooh I'm no expert on scenery, but I did show the process of making my big hills - look that vid up if you like! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
very nice model, that works, blue and weathering that works as it looks aged black and weathering depends on the model same with green but red eh its okay but i like bright red or dark red engines and the weathering is just another way of added £10 to the price still a great engine
Thanks for the comment mate, and yes that's true - still not sure where I stand on this yet! ;D
Merry Christmas,
Sam :)
I like the maroon and Bullman is there yet again. 19:03
Me too John! And haha, very well spotted with Bullman! ;D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Beautiful model! Theses engines are absolutely gorgeous! It’s amazing even though 13 were built, 2 have been preserved!
Thanks Ryno! Yes it is amazing - a very good ratio of locos produced to locos preserved!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Your welcome Sam! - Ryno :)
Gordon was probably based on the A1/A3 Pacific that is mixed between this Princess Class due to the shape of the roof of the cab and the oval buffers and the proportions of the model that look a bit similar to Gordon.
Yeah I bet you're right about that!!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
This loco is not very detailed, but it is very beautiful!
I agree - a very fair comment!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
awesome sam
Thanks Jayden! :D
Sam, make a video where you test how many coaches she can pull max
Good idea! I can definitely do that some time! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
This Hornby LMS Princess Royal Steam Locomotive Is A Bit Like Gordon The Big Engine From Thomas The Tank Engine And Friends. Thanks Sam'sTrains Mate. X
Yeah you're right - they do look pretty similar!!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I kinda like weathered BR blue, though I might be the only one. I mean, there is a reason it was changed to Brunswick green.
haha I like it too, I just probably prefer un-weathered - glad you did though mate! :D
And that's very true actually - good point!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Also, I noticed two different types of buffers at the front and back. Is that a new green loco I see!!!! For Christmas, I'm going to get a deans goods with a......snowplough!
KOOTPGB
Yes that's very true actually - I forgot to mention that! Ooh sounds awesome mate - hope you love your Dean Goods! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Me myself, I don't like weathering on my personal models, but it looks like this model is very well done. The weathering is not over-done, and does not cover the big details. I like the beauty of a un-weathered locomotive personally though. Nonetheless, looks great. Looks like it was used on an actual railway
Thanks Nathan, I agree with you - I prefer them clean if possible! Glad you enjoyed this one though mate! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
I've been meaning to tell you. I work at an old train depot in my town, and we have a volunteer there who is from the UK! He grew up between Manchester and London. Wherever that is lol
Personally I think it's best to keep the weathering effect on the model because I think it makes it look realistic.
That is very true! The Weathering certainly is very realistic! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Getting them second hand you can get a real bargain I am investing in sound locos at the moment I guess people will want the latest locos which is not a bad thing will bring the price down on the older ones.
Yes indeed - second hand is definitely a great way to go for a bargain!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
You can’t get the limited edition pack on a bargain....it’s worth around £200 while these ones are on the cheaper end
So I am guessing u reviewing this cause their new version Princess Cornation is coming closer to release?
The Princess Coronation is, though this is the princess Royal - a different class! But I am looking forward to the new Hornby Coronation coming soon! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
hi Sam one questions tank engine or tender engine I love both of them
Ooh for me it has to be tender engines! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Hi I am looking to spend around £350 on Hornby for Christmas I have a few sets do u have any recommendations for me for eg train sets or locos or digital stuff
Yeah lots of the Hornby stuff is great - so it all depends on what you fancy! I'd strongly suggest buying from Hatton's though, rather than on Hornby's site - it's so much cheaper!
Cheers,
Sam :)
The Stanier tender is a bit small isn’t it alright weathering in my opinion (merry Christmas)
Thanks for the comment mate, glad you think so! Merry Christmas! :D
Sam :)
Amazing.
Thank you! :D
