Hearing Sam call a 4-6-2 a huge loco is weird, because in the U.S. that would be considered medium. The huge locos in the U.S. are the Big Boy, Y2Bs, and the Southern Pacific Cab Fowards.
Thanks for taking my suggestion! The Electrotren Barclay 0-6-0 was my favorite! I'd like to see a new 00 gauge Rocket with tender pickups, and maybe even coach pickups!
Sam featuring diesels?? Madness!! As it happens I am developing a bit of a taste and collection for little shunting Diesels... Currently have, all hornby, class 08, 06 and a Sentinel! The sentinel is an absolutely beautiful bit of kit and very well replicated! As it happens we actually have 3 still in use today at Preston docks, Theres a regular Bitumen train for Total which arrives several times a week. Train gets dropped off in an exchange sidings and then the sentinel, usually "enterprise" comes and shunts it into the depot❤️
I normally don't care for British locos and trains, but your's have a delightful charm about them. It's nice to see you running on the floor without tremendously realistic (and intimidating) scenery. Plus, I could understand your speech quite well because I often have a very hard time understanding the speech of English and Aussie people, which is a delightful change. Thank you for uploading your tiny trains. And about your microphone next to the train--don't. All I could hear were the typical sounds of an electric train running, which is not realistic at all. I was expecting one of the modern sound effects from your loco and was surprised by electric static noise. Oh, and might I say it was very pleasant to hear the history and background information about your locos. Rarely, if ever, do people explain their models. I enjoyed that about your video as well.
Hi Sam - watching this video with my little grandson. I think you are wrong about the Electrotren 0-6-0 . It was built for Spanish Railways but not by Andrew Barclay . It was built by Sharp Stewart and is not freelance at all. They were another UK manufacturer. It is in HO scale really so is a little smaller than it should be for UK Oo layouts. Having said that it’s a nice model, if a little basic. The chassis can be used for industrial bodies if you’re that inclined. Hornby have issued it in the UK in a couple of forms, originally commissioned by Golden Valley Hobbies .
Great video Sam. I do like the Beattie Well Tanks by Dapol, the B4 Adams tank engine again by & the Peckett by Hornby. We seem to be spoilt right now quite a wide range of small & beautifully detailed small tank engines.
Thanks a lot mate - ahh yes I've heard about those, I might look into that!! We certainly are spoiled though, that's for sure! Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Love the terriers, but never been sure what to run them with as I always thought running them with full size (particularly height) coaches looked wrong. But glad to see you doing it and looking really good on your railway so I may have to try it more! Thanks for the great video!
The Terrier the LBSC withdrew in 1901 was acquired by Col. Stephens for his Kent & East Sussex Railway (where you can still find it) and was renamed 'Bodiam' (with the local area in mind). Three years earlier in 1898, the Newhaven Harbour Co. acquired another Terrier (in this case, No. 72 'Fenchurch'). Both built at Brighton in 1872, not only Bodiam has survived but also Fenchurch. The latter was the second Terrier to be acquired by the embryonic Bluebell Railway in 1964 (Newhaven Harbour gave up the engine by then).
I like those small kettles, the Barclay and the Caledonian. For modelling a light railway, free-lance or not, those are ideal models. I would see the 0-6-0 hauling mixed traffic trains, and the 0-4-0 used for freight and shunting on a light railway... Gives me a modelling idea, then !
I adore little engines, found your sound test good, I do love the little purr, might even try overlaying some shunting sounds haha, seems I like the real loco sound overlayed than the sound chips hehe Brilliant video sam, shall go on to your interview next
That Class 04 looks amazing! Aswell as the Barclay (Both of them) and Terrier. I have a model 03 in BR Green an 04 in BR Black, which currently has one of the rods failing of, and a Sentinal in NCB Blue, but interestingly, without Rods. That Rocket Really flys! Sorry, Couldn't help mlyself with that pun, haha, my Smallest loco is a few years old but I love her, a Hornby 0-4-0 Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Pug. Do you reckon some time you might do a Diesel Running Session?
See what everyone says? Little engines can do the biggest things eh Sam? Actually, the stroudley terrier engine does capture my attention. They really are stunning. Thanks Sam! Have a great day, and make sure those trains aren’t late! Your Friend, Sai
haha I agree - definitely very impressive engines! Ooh yes the Terrier is an old favourite of mine too - got to love those! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)
My friend runs a rocket he has when he was a kid, it’s been perfectly serviced and also suffers with pick up issues on the rear axel. The model is an original triang one dating from the mid sixties. Two carriages have gone missing but I did manage to get a short video of it in action at my local pub which has a working layout we run trains on. Nice video. Thanks mate. I’ve messaged you on fb btw. If you have a moment to reply I have a couple of questions for you.
That's great to hear Chris - amazing how these things keep working! Mine has a pick-up issue too - it's very awkward to get the wheels out for cleaning, so I don't dare try it, to save breaking it! Thanks for the facebook message - I'm doing my best to get through then as quick as I can, I do get quite a lot though! Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Sam'sTrains yes. Triang instructions for rocket detail it all if you didn’t know already. I’d love to have a look at your collection, you have some really fantastic locos and stock in your collections.
Excellent video of the small locomotives in action Sam 😉👍 I personally like smaller locos on model railway layouts the most and my favourite is the Andrew Barkleys 0-4-0 saddle tank & BR Class 04 diesel shunter. I'm also running my Hornby Peckett 0-4-0 saddle tank on my small layout and she running smooth, but she keep on jerking a bit. I think it something to do with the wire connection from the track or something else, what do you think?
Thanks a lot Joe - yeah there's definitely something special about the tiny engines! I don't have a Peckett unfortunately - but I'll let you know how I find it when I do! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)
@@SamsTrains ok. I'm also running my Hattons SE&CR P Class this morning and she running absolutely fantastic. But I notice the lamp iron is missing and I woulder if it alright or should?
19:40 footage of rocket running for its life. XD Also, did anyone else start playing Stepney’s theme song when Whitechapel appeared? Great running session Sam.
I love your videos, and you inspired me to make my own RUclips channel about trains too. Thank you for making your videos, I really enjoy watching them
Great theme for the running session. Glad the Sentinel got a look in, lovely little model and I really need to get a steam one. Shame about the Gandy Dancer, pump trolleys are a lot of fun after hours at a heritage railway. 😉 I’m still amazed by how tiny the P class is, and powerful. It can pull as much as my Stirling Single, I thought you might run it in place of the Terrier! Good motor on that Terrier, it’s a good idea with the microphone as motor and gear train noise can be a big difference between models. Got a question for you, what software do you use to have the tablet set up as a throttle for RailMaster? I can’t find anything for the life of me.
Thanks very much James, yes I was excited to get the Sentinel in another video! Haha yeah - sadly my Gandy Dancer didn't last very long at all, haha! Oh yeah me too - such impressive and powerful engines those P classes - Hatton's did such a great job!! You need to google instructions for the Railmaster app - it isn't on the app store - if I remember, it's a URL link that you need to enter into the browser - it's all very strange! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I model Mid-19th Century US trains. Specifically the "American 4-4-0" pieces. All of the motive power I can locate is Tender Drive and in need of reworking. The biggest problems with them are missing drive shafts and the Gawd-Awful power pickup systems. I have discovered workarounds for the missing shafts but the adding and modifying of the electrical pickup can be sketchy at best. Once the missing shaft has been addressed, The electrical system can make the world of difference in running. Thanx for showing me the small loco's of the UK that you run.
Ahh that's fantastic - yes I'm familiar with those 4-4-0s, not very nice things - so good luck to you, haha! Good to hear you've figured out some decent fixes though! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Very nice. I'd love to see a running session of your smallest passenger trains - no shunting locos, just short branch line passenger trains. DMUs can join too.
I've just had an idea for a running session. Double headers, but each pair has one tiny engine with one massive engine (e.g. the SECR P class with the Berkshire).
Great video! I have a question. How do you keep your tracks clean? I have a bunch of old Bachman and tyco and unnamed German tracks, but they are all copper and as copper does, it corrodes very easily, causing the train to shudder and stop. Do you have a track cleaner that you would recommend?
Thanks very much mate! I use a Peco track rubber- they last absolutely ages, and they clean track like nothing else does - worth their weight in gold! Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I like little trains ! Like Ho / OO narrow gauge (Hoe in France) Ho with 9mm raiways like MinitrainS products... who made Ho narrow gauge in England ?? 😊 Sam thanks for vidéo.😁 Patrick.
Me too mate - they really are awesome! There are quite a few manufacturers doing H0 narrowgauge, I think Dapol or Heljan did some?? Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I honestly LOVE the Terrier class from Hornby, it's my favorite hands down, but the Barclay 0-4-0 from Hattons is a CLOSE second favorite. Those 2 are VERY beautiful little engines. :)
I love that 'Barclay'. I prefer shunters and wagons to, say, a 'Pacific' and coaches. I have always wanted to make a layout based on the war time ammunition depots in Corsham, Wiltshire, most of which was underground, but had a large, dedicated rail network, most of which was, sadly, scrubbed up immediately following the war. The Rocket also has a rather grim claim to fame: it was the first railway engine to kill someone. On the opening of the Liverpool to Manchester Railway, the first train to run on it, stopped about half way, to let the no doubt shellshocked passengers stretch their legs, and watch the Rocket pass by. MP, William Huskisson, somehow fell in front of the speeding Rocket, and his legs were severed. George Stephenson used the Rocket to get the poor man to hospital, but sadly, he died from trauma and blood loss. There is a memorial to Huskisson at the point where he was injured - but it's right next to the track, and virtually impossible to notice, let alone read, as you speed by.
The smallest engine out of my steam fleet is the Bachmann Junior 0-6-0ST in BR lined black with the early crest. The smallest of my diesel fleet is the Hornby Railroad Class 06 shunter in BR blue
I bought the electrotren tank engine after your review, and it runs so very well!. Its a nice little freelance industrial engine but not a real GWR loco.
Nice running session Sam! Could you please do a session with locomotives with my favorite wheel configuration - eight coupled driving wheels, such as the Northern or the Consolidation? I would appreciate it very much!
Hey sam great video love all the tanks and shunters. Just thought i ask i bought a black 5 yesterday in a br green livery and it came with a certificate saying it was a limited edition of 1500 units what does that mean?
Hi Daniel, that's great to hear! Ooh that means you have a rare one - it means they only made 1500 models like that - it should have a number somewhere! Thanks for watching - Sam :)
We still have a sentinal shunter working hard daily at the Ford engine plant (bridgend) where I work, she’s a bit tired now but still earning her keep!
Sam'sTrains well the factory was built in1977, but I assume she was probably bought from one of the local collieries that we’re closing around that time, I shal have to find out more info from some of the old-timers here! No problems dude, amazing channel, I only discovered you the other day, and you’re all I’ve watched since 😂. Cheers. Mark.
A fascinating review Sam, just one further comment regarding the correct pronunciation of the Pugh name in the first clip...if you say few, replace the f with a p and that will sound like pew....simples!....Bob
Very nice video Sam. This is Ocean Storm with a new channel. This is the channel that I use for trains. Lol. But yes, from now on, I hope you'll recognize me with a different name. ;D
Thanks a lot mate - feel free to check out my review on the plows - ruclips.net/video/xbw6y4hGbxU/видео.html Yes I recommend them - they're great! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Lovely little video, that. In all honesty I loved the 04 the best. Not sure why, but I just like the look of it more. As for the kettles, that Barcaly 0-4-0ST is damn cute! But the 04 wins overall. Maybe you should get an 03 shunter as well?
Thanks a lot Phil - ahh interesting choice with the 04 - certainly a lovely shunter that one! I'll definitely keep an eye out for an 03! Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Hello, Sam. This was a great video! Would you ever consider doing a "Ages of Modern Traction" series? I think it's a great follow-up to the "Seven Ages of Steam" series you did a couple of years ago.
Favorite engine of this video/your collection: Barkley 0-4-0st My smallest engine: hornby 0-4-0t Prize of the small collection: Diesel: Frateschi NZR Da Class in NZR red Steam: Oxford Rail LSWR 415 class in southern black
Once again another great video 😀sam it really is amazing to see a small loco to go at a shunting speed . Just out of curiosity sam may I ask what you got in your GCSE’s for steam train loving 😂🤣 I got an A*
Hi Sam, Was the 'Electrotren' O-6-0 (the loco which looked somewhat like a Barclay) either an HO or OO Scale model? I'm an N Scale fan & there's a very popular (even here in GB) Spanish 1:160 loco, called the 'Cuckoo', which happens to be made by 'Ibertren', over there in Spain. IMHO, their N Scale 'Cuckoo' looks very similar indeed, to your 'Electrotren' model. Of course, the N Scale 'Cuckoo' is even smaller than your 0-6-0 because of her scale! My guess is, that 'Electrotren' make an HO version (as they don't make any N Scale models) of the ubiquitous, 'Cuckoo' & because of 'Ibertren's' success in selling their N Scale 'Cuckoo' over here, it was probably a safe bet for 'Electrotren', that a larger gauged version of the same shape, would also be popular here too! They possibly then also gave her some extra British heritage, by pretending that their 'Cuckoo', was actually a Barclay! My hypothesis then of course leads me back to my original question to you, that was as to whether your 'Electrotren' (Barclay), is sold over here as an HO or OO Scale model because if the former is the case, then it is quite feasible that the model sold here as a Barclay, may well be a 'Cuckoo' & is made simply as run-on production, when 'Electrotren' are using their 'Cuckoo' jigging & tooling. In fact, they just make a few more of their same HO 'Cuckoos' before giving them a British name & livery & then shortening their 'Cuckoos', slightly longer beak (aka smoke stack). They then go about repackaging their 'Cuckoo' and selling it as a Barclay, over here! I guess that what I'm saying is that we British railfans, may well have 'A Cuckoo in our nest'! I must remember to see my doctor soon, about all these 'Cuckoo' theories I keep getting in my head, as maybe you will have now realised, that I may well be a bit 'Cuckoo', myself?? He-He Finally, this was a nice 'little video' dear Sam. Keep up the good work & all the best to you mate. Andrew ps I preferred the little Hattons 'Bluebell', that I think you may have reviewed, a few months ago..mind you, as you say, your Caledonian 0-4-0 Barclay Saddle Tank, is pretty darn nice, as well! :-)
Hi Andrew - yes I believe it's a H0 Spanish model (or something like that) made up to look like a Barclay, as far as I know! That sounds great anyway - thanks a lot for the comment and the info, Cheers, Sam :)
+Sam'sTrains I've found it in their product lists. Not only do Electrotren sell the identical model in Spain & England but they are also promoting exactly the same model in France, calling it an SNCF tank engine!! To be frank, I think that this is getting very close to the edge, of being deceptive. The same size loco is called OO Gauge in the case of your Barclay lookalike + there's another, so called British train, given another name, that I've now forgotten but I think that you may have mentioned it, in your video here). In the case of the SNCF Tank Engine & also the Spanish version..both are claimed to be HO Scale..Huh!!
Back in my youth, a local shop had an oval track in the shop window with the Rocket pulling the Triang giraffe car. There was a slot for a penny which would start the train running for a short while with the giraffe ducking its head when going under a loading gauge .
Hi Sam Love these smaller loco's, nice to see a running session to celebrate them! I admit they make up they make up most of my fleet (and therefore reviews, sorry shameless plug) Great idea and upload OR
Little engines (Class 04 horn) Little engines (sentinel horn) Little engines, can do the biggest things. Little engines (Andrew Barclay whistle). Little engines (Terrier whistle) Little engines, can do most anything. They'll carry on, until the work is over. They'll carry on 'til the end. They're the smallest in the station, don't underestimate, they're not such little engines after all.
Idea: you get a small shelf or box to put the small locos in so they don’t need to be using room needed for big locos and since there small it will take a lot of small locos to fill it
I did like the blue Caledonian engine, but it was 'Rocket' I liked the best. Nice to see the 'Gandy Dancer'. Mine is still running well and I can get a nice slow speed, if it stalls it is always on a curve. Oh, I think they got rid of the man in yellow as I have red and green men on mine. The yellow fellow was too lazy I think.
Thanks Ian - ooh good choice with Rocket, that engine still amazes me! Ahh you did well with yours - mine was second hand, and it never worked properly! Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Great ideas Dom - here's the Collet one: ruclips.net/video/Bp-gKyOqFi0/видео.html Churchward is one I definitely need to do - good point! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I have a few motorized railcars (actual converted cars with flanged metal wheels) but i never call any of those "loco" do to they can not pull wagons (and don't do passenger transportation), but my Trackmobile is could be the link between them, and it is very small. But for actual locos; in 00 I have a PUG, and a Beattie Well Tank, in H0 is my T3 is the smallest I think, dough i have a few H0f locos too. The reason why high quality/detailed small locos are less common like their bigger brothers is their price. Its similar to an Express loco, and an average buyer says: -This loco is tiny, and unobserved, but cost as much as that big, spectacular, colorful one! I'll take the big one! Even I don't have that much (in normal gauge).
Ahh yeah I've seen a few like that - still pretty cool though! Yeah the Pug and Beattie are good shouts - pretty tiny those!! Thanks for watching - Sam :)
By any chance would you know of any large tank locomotives and short tender locomotives that are near equal length? (I also suggest you search RUclips for "0-4-4 ajax").
I have an issue, I have one of the oldest triang dock shunters there is, but the engine isn't functioning, do you know the potential issue and how I could fix it. It's been sat in an attic for a while
Hi mate, it sounds as though it might need a full strip-down and service. There are videos online to show how to do it, or I can do it for you (if you're in the UK!) Drop me an email if you'd like me to! Cheers, Sam :)
There is also a replica of the Rocket in an American Train Museum in Miami, Florida in America and the American Train museum is called The Gold Coast Railroad Musuem

19:40 footage of rocket running for its life. XD Also, did anyone else start playing Stepney’s theme song when Whitechapel appeared? Great running session Sam.
haha absolutely! I'm sure some people did - she's a very popular engine! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
There are actually two stations on the London Underground which are after each other called Whitechapel and Stepney Green
Do another one of these
That would be awesome Alfie! :D
I love your videos, and you inspired me to make my own RUclips channel about trains too. Thank you for making your videos, I really enjoy watching them
Thanks so much mate, that's really lovely to her! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Great theme for the running session. Glad the Sentinel got a look in, lovely little model and I really need to get a steam one. Shame about the Gandy Dancer, pump trolleys are a lot of fun after hours at a heritage railway. 😉
I’m still amazed by how tiny the P class is, and powerful. It can pull as much as my Stirling Single, I thought you might run it in place of the Terrier! Good motor on that Terrier, it’s a good idea with the microphone as motor and gear train noise can be a big difference between models.
Got a question for you, what software do you use to have the tablet set up as a throttle for RailMaster? I can’t find anything for the life of me.
Thanks very much James, yes I was excited to get the Sentinel in another video! Haha yeah - sadly my Gandy Dancer didn't last very long at all, haha! Oh yeah me too - such impressive and powerful engines those P classes - Hatton's did such a great job!!
You need to google instructions for the Railmaster app - it isn't on the app store - if I remember, it's a URL link that you need to enter into the browser - it's all very strange! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I model Mid-19th Century US trains. Specifically the "American 4-4-0" pieces. All of the motive power I can locate is Tender Drive and in need of reworking. The biggest problems with them are missing drive shafts and the Gawd-Awful power pickup systems. I have discovered workarounds for the missing shafts but the adding and modifying of the electrical pickup can be sketchy at best. Once the missing shaft has been addressed, The electrical system can make the world of difference in running.
Thanx for showing me the small loco's of the UK that you run.
Ahh that's fantastic - yes I'm familiar with those 4-4-0s, not very nice things - so good luck to you, haha! Good to hear you've figured out some decent fixes though! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Very nice. I'd love to see a running session of your smallest passenger trains - no shunting locos, just short branch line passenger trains. DMUs can join too.
Thanks Ken - lovely idea, I'd love that too! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I've just had an idea for a running session. Double headers, but each pair has one tiny engine with one massive engine (e.g. the SECR P class with the Berkshire).
That's a very very good idea - I could definitely try that one day! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
Such a lovely setup 😊
Great video! I have a question. How do you keep your tracks clean? I have a bunch of old Bachman and tyco and unnamed German tracks, but they are all copper and as copper does, it corrodes very easily, causing the train to shudder and stop. Do you have a track cleaner that you would recommend?
Thanks very much mate! I use a Peco track rubber- they last absolutely ages, and they clean track like nothing else does - worth their weight in gold!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
+Sam'sTrains Thanks for the response! I'll be sure to check those out!
I like little trains ! Like Ho / OO narrow gauge (Hoe in France) Ho with 9mm raiways like MinitrainS products... who made Ho narrow gauge in England ?? 😊
Sam thanks for vidéo.😁
Patrick.
Me too mate - they really are awesome! There are quite a few manufacturers doing H0 narrowgauge, I think Dapol or Heljan did some??
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I honestly LOVE the Terrier class from Hornby, it's my favorite hands down, but the Barclay 0-4-0 from Hattons is a CLOSE second favorite. Those 2 are VERY beautiful little engines. :)
Ahh that's good to hear mate - they certainly are excellent models, I can see why you liked them! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I love that 'Barclay'. I prefer shunters and wagons to, say, a 'Pacific' and coaches. I have always wanted to make a layout based on the war time ammunition depots in Corsham, Wiltshire, most of which was underground, but had a large, dedicated rail network, most of which was, sadly, scrubbed up immediately following the war.
The Rocket also has a rather grim claim to fame: it was the first railway engine to kill someone. On the opening of the Liverpool to Manchester Railway, the first train to run on it, stopped about half way, to let the no doubt shellshocked passengers stretch their legs, and watch the Rocket pass by. MP, William Huskisson, somehow fell in front of the speeding Rocket, and his legs were severed. George Stephenson used the Rocket to get the poor man to hospital, but sadly, he died from trauma and blood loss. There is a memorial to Huskisson at the point where he was injured - but it's right next to the track, and virtually impossible to notice, let alone read, as you speed by.
Glad to hear that - yes I love those samller engines too! Was it really? I didn't know about that accident - crikey! :O
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
The smallest engine out of my steam fleet is the Bachmann Junior 0-6-0ST in BR lined black with the early crest. The smallest of my diesel fleet is the Hornby Railroad Class 06 shunter in BR blue
Ahh very cool - those are definitely pretty small! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
A very nice selection of your small locos.
Thanks a lot Norbert, really glad you enjoyed this! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
I bought the electrotren tank engine after your review, and it runs so very well!. Its a nice little freelance industrial engine but not a real GWR loco.
Ahh that's great Allan, really hope you enjoy it! It's definitely brilliant for the money! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
@@SamsTrains haha I also picked up a sentinel shunter too! I should stop watching your reviews.
Nice running session Sam! Could you please do a session with locomotives with my favorite wheel configuration - eight coupled driving wheels, such as the Northern or the Consolidation? I would appreciate it very much!
Thanks very much mate! Yes I did a 2-8-0 session, check it out if you like: ruclips.net/video/cBz5DTCPoRw/видео.html
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Thank you very much!
Really love the Barclay 0-4-0 Burgundy/Blue color combo. Really a beautiful piece.
Thanks Scott! Me too actually - such a lovely engine that one! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
Great little engines, nice to see Rocket living up to her name. I'm torn between the 0-4-0 Barclay and the Terrier for favourite.
Thanks a lot Rob - ooh very tricky decision, yeah I was struggling with that too! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Hey sam great video love all the tanks and shunters. Just thought i ask i bought a black 5 yesterday in a br green livery and it came with a certificate saying it was a limited edition of 1500 units what does that mean?
Hi Daniel, that's great to hear! Ooh that means you have a rare one - it means they only made 1500 models like that - it should have a number somewhere!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Oh right thanks sam and the number pack number is 213 of 1500 and the loco number is 44932
We still have a sentinal shunter working hard daily at the Ford engine plant (bridgend) where I work, she’s a bit tired now but still earning her keep!
Ahh that's great to hear - how old must that be now then? Glad they keep her around though!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Sam'sTrains well the factory was built in1977, but I assume she was probably bought from one of the local collieries that we’re closing around that time, I shal have to find out more info from some of the old-timers here!
No problems dude, amazing channel, I only discovered you the other day, and you’re all I’ve watched since 😂.
Cheers. Mark.
A fascinating review Sam, just one further comment regarding the correct pronunciation of the Pugh name in the first clip...if you say few, replace the f with a p and that will sound like pew....simples!....Bob
haha thanks a lot for that Bob - much appreciated! I did rather enjoy pronouncing it 'pugh' though, haha!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Your Terrier has a VERY buzzy motor ...
And yes, the blue Barclay 0-4-0 hits the spot for me too ... :)
You gave me inspiration to start my channel with my train set (Hornby country flyer)
That's awesome Louie - good luck with the channel! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I watched like 20 of your videos today and I was busy with my own railway 🚃.
Favourite locos here has gotta be Barclay's 0-4-0, followed by Stephenson's Rocket! Very impressive vid mate! :-)
Ahh great choices - yes those are my favourites of the day too! Really glad you enjoyed it,
Cheers,
Sam :)
do you think you could run a class 55 DELTIC with a few marroon coaches ?
Thats a great idea - I could do that if you wanted to request it! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Very nice video Sam. This is Ocean Storm with a new channel. This is the channel that I use for trains. Lol. But yes, from now on, I hope you'll recognize me with a different name. ;D
Thanks very much mate, and a very cool new channel name - awesome!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I know one smallest loco i have is the Hornby pug
Ooh yeah - now those are tiny!! xD
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Ikr and i got the Hornby tts sound mallard from kallum
Yes I have two of them the slow speed is good
@@danielanderson5364 i have 10 of them
I've got one of them. Its in MR livery and came with the Midland Flyer set
Nice idea Sam also would you recommend the hattons beilhack snow plow’s
Thanks a lot mate - feel free to check out my review on the plows - ruclips.net/video/xbw6y4hGbxU/видео.html
Yes I recommend them - they're great! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Hey Sam where did you get that beautiful Barkley 0-4-0. It’s the most beautiful train I have ever seen I need one (great video as well!!!)
They're made by Hatton's - look up my review if you like them! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Youre the Star of the show Sam, a really nice guy,who knows his stuff !
That's very kind of you to say, thank you mate! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
When I lose motivation to run/work on my railroad, (the QLL) I watch a Sam's Trains video and I feel better again!
Ahh that's lovely to hear Kurt - thanks for the kind words! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Nice video! Do you have a GWR 101 0-4-0 or did you not include one?
No I don't think I have that sadly - I'll look out for one though!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
@@SamsTrains ok! Thanks for replying!
Brilliant. Little engines are so cute, sometimes i think they look better than the big engines
Thanks a lot mate - I agree, they really are lovely!!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Lovely little video, that.
In all honesty I loved the 04 the best. Not sure why, but I just like the look of it more.
As for the kettles, that Barcaly 0-4-0ST is damn cute! But the 04 wins overall.
Maybe you should get an 03 shunter as well?
Thanks a lot Phil - ahh interesting choice with the 04 - certainly a lovely shunter that one!
I'll definitely keep an eye out for an 03!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Do one with the biggest ones
I think I did do!! :D
When
Amazing job as always Sam.
Thanks a lot mate! :D
Hello, Sam. This was a great video! Would you ever consider doing a "Ages of Modern Traction" series? I think it's a great follow-up to the "Seven Ages of Steam" series you did a couple of years ago.
Thanks so much mate, really glad you liked that! Ooh that's a great idea - I'll definitely look into that, cheers! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Favorite engine of this video/your collection: Barkley 0-4-0st
My smallest engine: hornby 0-4-0t
Prize of the small collection:
Diesel: Frateschi NZR Da Class in NZR red
Steam: Oxford Rail LSWR 415 class in southern black
Ahh good choice - yeah the Barclay really is superb! Ooh those do sound lovely - I'll have to look into those! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Once again another great video 😀sam it really is amazing to see a small loco to go at a shunting speed . Just out of curiosity sam may I ask what you got in your GCSE’s for steam train loving 😂🤣
I got an A*
Thanks again Faizan - really glad you liked this! :D
Ooh yeah I got an A* too in that xD
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Seeing that little Caledonian loco reminds me of the steam railway in Brechin (Scotland). They have one of those.
Ahh do they?? It may be the same thing then - I'll have to look it up!
Thanks for the comment,
Sam :)
@@SamsTrains yeah, fairly certain it's the exact same locomotive. Caledonian Railway Brechin is what you're looking for.
"And the brilliant thing about these is they almost never derail" hahaha good job :D
Also love that Southern Pacific Daylight!
haha it's very true!! :D
do they make a tripple rail to accommodate two size trains if not they should
I think I have seen those - no idea who makes them though!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
fabulous video! I think you should get a replacement gandy dancer! wh?en will you do the class 60?
Thanks a lot mate - yeah I should do! I don't own a class 60, but if I ever get one, I'll review it! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
you had one last year. Lima Ews class 60
Hi Sam,
Was the 'Electrotren' O-6-0 (the loco which looked somewhat like a Barclay) either an HO or OO Scale model? I'm an N Scale fan & there's a very popular (even here in GB) Spanish 1:160 loco, called the 'Cuckoo', which happens to be made by 'Ibertren', over there in Spain. IMHO, their N Scale 'Cuckoo' looks very similar indeed, to your 'Electrotren' model. Of course, the N Scale 'Cuckoo' is even smaller than your 0-6-0 because of her scale! My guess is, that 'Electrotren' make an HO version (as they don't make any N Scale models) of the ubiquitous, 'Cuckoo' & because of 'Ibertren's' success in selling their N Scale 'Cuckoo' over here, it was probably a safe bet for 'Electrotren', that a larger gauged version of the same shape, would also be popular here too! They possibly then also gave her some extra British heritage, by pretending that their 'Cuckoo', was actually a Barclay! My hypothesis then of course leads me back to my original question to you, that was as to whether your 'Electrotren' (Barclay), is sold over here as an HO or OO Scale model because if the former is the case, then it is quite feasible that the model sold here as a Barclay, may well be a 'Cuckoo' & is made simply as run-on production, when 'Electrotren' are using their 'Cuckoo' jigging & tooling. In fact, they just make a few more of their same HO 'Cuckoos' before giving them a British name & livery & then shortening their 'Cuckoos', slightly longer beak (aka smoke stack). They then go about repackaging their 'Cuckoo' and selling it as a Barclay, over here!
I guess that what I'm saying is that we British railfans, may well have 'A Cuckoo in our nest'!
I must remember to see my doctor soon, about all these 'Cuckoo' theories I keep getting in my head, as maybe you will have now realised, that I may well be a bit 'Cuckoo', myself?? He-He
Finally, this was a nice 'little video' dear Sam. Keep up the good work
& all the best to you mate.
Andrew
ps I preferred the little Hattons 'Bluebell', that I think you may have reviewed, a few months ago..mind you, as you say, your Caledonian 0-4-0 Barclay Saddle Tank, is pretty darn nice, as well! :-)
Hi Andrew - yes I believe it's a H0 Spanish model (or something like that) made up to look like a Barclay, as far as I know! That sounds great anyway - thanks a lot for the comment and the info,
Cheers,
Sam :)
+Sam'sTrains
I've found it in their product lists. Not only do Electrotren sell the identical model in Spain & England but they are also promoting exactly the same model in France, calling it an SNCF tank engine!! To be frank, I think that this is getting very close to the edge, of being deceptive. The same size loco is called OO Gauge in the case of your Barclay lookalike + there's another, so called British train, given another name, that I've now forgotten but I think that you may have mentioned it, in your video here). In the case of the SNCF Tank Engine & also the Spanish version..both are claimed to be HO Scale..Huh!!
Back in my youth, a local shop had an oval track in the shop window with the Rocket pulling the Triang giraffe car.
There was a slot for a penny which would start the train running for a short while with the giraffe ducking its head when going under a loading gauge .
Ahh that sounds fantastic - what a great idea!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I need my own Timothy the Ghost Engine and I like how I did all the details on to it you should try and make your own Bachmann version.
Ooh great idea Liam - I'd love to give that a try :3
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Hi Sam
Love these smaller loco's, nice to see a running session to celebrate them!
I admit they make up they make up most of my fleet (and therefore reviews, sorry shameless plug)
Great idea and upload
OR
Hey Oliver, me too mate - got to love the little ones! haha no problem - I'll go check your reviews out! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Thank you
I won't do it again....promise....
Olly
Make a hill what can cause a RUNAWAY train or rolling stock
A
haha that'd be awesome!! :D
Hi sam. From small to big. Do you run any inter city, virgin type trains
Thanks a lot John! Yeah I have a few intercity HSTS, and a virgin one - I'll have to break them out again soon! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
thanks would be good to see that one day
Hello sam, is a largest engine running session coming soon. I was wondering nex year for April fools you could review a premium bullman.
Also I really enjoyed the video.
Hello - yes I think I'll have to do a largest engines session soon - and good idea, haha! xD
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Do your locomotives get wheelslip? Mine do, and I love it.
Yeah they sometimes do - and I love it too! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)

Sam: *slams ground *
People down stairs: WTF IS HE DOING Up THERE!?
haha!! xD
Little engines (Class 04 horn)
Little engines (sentinel horn)
Little engines, can do the biggest things.
Little engines (Andrew Barclay whistle).
Little engines (Terrier whistle)
Little engines, can do most anything.
They'll carry on, until the work is over.
They'll carry on 'til the end.
They're the smallest in the station, don't underestimate, they're not such little engines after all.
haha I love it Nathan! :D
Great video Sam always good to see some small engines
Thanks David - I really enjoyed running the small'uns for a change! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Idea: you get a small shelf or box to put the small locos in so they don’t need to be using room needed for big locos and since there small it will take a lot of small locos to fill it
Good idea, I could do that! :D
Mavis (sans cowcatchers and sideplates), Den, Stepney, Toad, and Stephen.
The Terrier in Improved Green is an attractive loco. I don't have one, but it's one of my favs.
Thanks mate, really glad you liked that one - they are lovely from Hornby! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
15:50 🎶 Rocket man, burning out his fuse up here alone 🎶 😆👍
haha! ;D
I did like the blue Caledonian engine, but it was 'Rocket' I liked the best. Nice to see the 'Gandy Dancer'. Mine is still running well and I can get a nice slow speed, if it stalls it is always on a curve. Oh, I think they got rid of the man in yellow as I have red and green men on mine. The yellow fellow was too lazy I think.
Thanks Ian - ooh good choice with Rocket, that engine still amazes me! Ahh you did well with yours - mine was second hand, and it never worked properly!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Hi Sam. Can you do a Collet and Churchward running session please?
Great ideas Dom - here's the Collet one: ruclips.net/video/Bp-gKyOqFi0/видео.html
Churchward is one I definitely need to do - good point! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I have a few motorized railcars (actual converted cars with flanged metal wheels) but i never call any of those "loco" do to they can not pull wagons (and don't do passenger transportation), but my Trackmobile is could be the link between them, and it is very small. But for actual locos; in 00 I have a PUG, and a Beattie Well Tank, in H0 is my T3 is the smallest I think, dough i have a few H0f locos too. The reason why high quality/detailed small locos are less common like their bigger brothers is their price. Its similar to an Express loco, and an average buyer says:
-This loco is tiny, and unobserved, but cost as much as that big, spectacular, colorful one! I'll take the big one!
Even I don't have that much (in normal gauge).
Ahh yeah I've seen a few like that - still pretty cool though! Yeah the Pug and Beattie are good shouts - pretty tiny those!!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
By any chance would you know of any large tank locomotives and short tender locomotives that are near equal length? (I also suggest you search RUclips for "0-4-4 ajax").
Hmmm, I guess the 72xx and the J15 are similar in length? I'll have to look into that though!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
1:39 is that a custom crane on the right side? it looks like construction paper.
Yeah! Here's the video from when I built it: ruclips.net/video/2N3tdgfBBhc/видео.html
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
The terriers are my fave out of them, but i chose the 040 as it looks the best in the cr blue
Ahh yes, got to love the Terriers! Can't beat the Hatton's Barclay though - just amazing that one! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
My choice is the 0-4-0 in blue - but the Rocket's "photo-bomb" was funny.
Thanks for sharing...
Ooh mine too - got to love the Barclay! Haha yeah that made me chuckle too!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I have an issue, I have one of the oldest triang dock shunters there is, but the engine isn't functioning, do you know the potential issue and how I could fix it.
It's been sat in an attic for a while
Hi mate, it sounds as though it might need a full strip-down and service. There are videos online to show how to do it, or I can do it for you (if you're in the UK!) Drop me an email if you'd like me to!
Cheers,
Sam :)
I was hoping you would be showing off a Hornby Peckett but I am guessing you maybe after the Ironwork blue one...
Yeah I'm still waiting on getting a Peckett unfortunately - but watch this space!! :D
