      Very close but not quite.
      Sir Nigel is currently at the Railway Museum workshop, but has its own society and its "home" is at the North Yorkshire Moors Railway. The late Roger Barker and his team worked very hard to get it's last boiler ticket and it's currently working towards its next one. Reason that the NRM don't have much say in its preservation is because the loco was privately saved during the 60s (the National Collection already had Mallard). The loco will continue to wear darker blue "pyjamas" & 60007, not the 4498 LNER garter blue.
      I had the privilege of riding behind it in 2015, some 40 years after seeing it at the Shildon cavalcade in 1975 when it was still 4498......
      My favourite A4 and probably my ultimate favourite of all

    I've looked up the Silver Link and found out that a few more of the early A4s were also painted in Silver and also had matching streamlined Silver coaches that were a part of a train called the Silver Jubilee. HIGHLY recommend getting any of the early Silver A4s and any of those Jubilee coaches if you can manage to find them.

    • @SamsTrains
      @SamsTrains  8 лет назад

      Hi Alex, yeah you're bang on - Silver link is probably the most famous A4 in silver, though if you check out a guy called 'Liverton Simon' his channel shows a set of 4 (I think) all in that livery!
      Here's the link either way: ruclips.net/video/3k21CTxFIJg/видео.html

    6:06 Wow it's pretty nice to see some figurines inside a model steam locomotive. I never seen you have figurines in your locomotive cabs but this sure looks brilliant especially for a serious modeler with loves to put figurines on his layout and the scenery and inside the cab of tender locomotives. :D

    @kellyashfordtrains2642 5 лет назад

    Sir Nigel Gresley is partly being overhauled in Llangollen Railway Workshops at this moment in time. My favourite A4 is probably Mallard, but she doesn't steal the show in the same way as Broome Manor does. The chime whistle of an A4 is nice to listen to; pity Gadwall is the only A4 model you've got with TTS sound. But we can't have everything we might want.

    • @SamsTrains
      @SamsTrains  5 лет назад

    even though it's a seperate model on it's own.. the full trainset would be called the blue streak which is hornby no. (R682) and by looking at the way it's boxed up and especially the wiring.. the trainset itself looks like it was made in either the 1970's or 80's..

  • @iceeblueburst03
    @iceeblueburst03 5 лет назад

    Wow its pretty cool to have a LNER A4 to be named after a person who created the class of locomotives which is Sir Nigel Gresley. :P

    I'm surprised that photo of Gadwell badly damaged doesn't appear in an A4 Pacific book I have, and I've never come across that photo online. I'm not sure about the nameplate on that Hornby model the lettering doesn't look right (the plate looks too wider compared to the letters and the plate sticks out too much). I have N gauge model of Mallard in blue, but for some reason the model I have doesn't have the full valances (skirting I think it's called) that Mallard has when in that colour livery. I think the only time Mallard never had valances was when it was green. Why the company (I presume Graham Farish) who built the model didn't show it as it should be I don't know. And for some reason Hornby sell a blue version of the Flying Scotsman, but since when has the Flying Scotsman ever been blue?.

  • @davidsmodeltrains9943
    @davidsmodeltrains9943 8 лет назад

    Great video I love the A4, I am unsure what the cover thing is called but Gresley designed the A4 class like that as it stopped air getting to the wheels which slowed it down, it helped it run as fast as it did and eventually break the World Steam Record.

    • @SamsTrains

    • @marsvltor2
      @marsvltor2 7 лет назад

      The valances were removed during WW2 to both ease maintenance and help the war effort by giving valuable steel for re-use. As for overall effect, we really don't know - after all, 60007 ran up to 112mph in 1959 in her post-war condition. No idea what kind of speed she'd have made had not Bill Hoole been given the 112 as a strict maximum by the authorities!

    Hi Sam, I’ve picked up one of these but am having problems with the motorised tender. The driven wheels are proving a bit loose on the axles. If I press them hard enough to stay in place, the motor won’t turn. But if loosened off, they work loose very quickly in use. Got any experience of this? I can’t find anyone who can supply new wheels for this version. Glue? Loctite? I’d welcome your thoughts. Cheers 😃👍

    • @SamsTrains
      @SamsTrains  3 года назад +1

      Ahh sorry to hear that - no I haven't had this happen, maybe the wheels have been removed too many times and have grown loose... if it's the side with the insulator (non conductive side) maybe a dab of superglue will hold them in place? I'd try that!

  • @johney-duh-one
    @johney-duh-one 7 лет назад

    Hey Sam, I think your model of Sir Nigel Gresley was modded by previous owner because I don't think Hornby would ever paint the cabs on their locos. Also another reason why I think it was modded is an obvious thing that sticks out like sore thumb, the trailing bogey, it's a camo color, not black like the rest of the bogeys. Its odd and it isn't something that Hornby would do or make. Not that it being modded is a bad thing, it's just when you went to the cab and windows, you thought Hornby did it.

    • @SamsTrains
      @SamsTrains  7 лет назад +1

      Hi Johney, thanks for the comment! The cabs did actually come painted like that from Hornby for a while - I've got quite a few that have that, including the compound and the 8F, both from the same era! You're right about the trailing wheels though - it's a very strange on that!
