That would be fantastic - I will follow this up with my largest engines, but not necessarily tank engines - that could be another video though! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)
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.
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 .
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 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.
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!
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 :)
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 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.
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'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).
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?
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 :)
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 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 :)
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!
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. :)
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.
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 :)
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?
Little engines (Class 04 horn) Little engines (sentinel horn) Little engines, can do the biggest things. Little engines (Andrew Barclay whistle).

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
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.
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.
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
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 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 :)
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 :)
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 .
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.
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
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 :)
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
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 :)
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").
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 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 :)
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.
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 :)
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 :)
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
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
Hi mate, feel free to send me an email with photos and info. Usually I can do the tri-ang stuff for under £20, depending on what the problems might be! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

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 :)
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 :)
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 :)
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.
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
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 :)
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 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 :)
This was another great running session, but just a bit of a missed opportunity to use the 4-wheeled coaches...
Thanks a lot mate! That's true - I'll be running them tonight in the live stream though, if you're around?? :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
"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
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 :)
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 :)
Maybe a 'Record Breaker' Running Session?
-Dylan
Fantastic idea Dylan - I'll look into that! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
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 :)
Most enjoyable, great little locos.
Thanks a lot Geoff, glad you liked them! :D
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!
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.
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 :)
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
The Electrotren "Barclay" is a great little engine !
I agree Fred, it really is! :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 :)
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 :)
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!
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
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
Thanks so much Mark - me too! Yeah I thought it was quite interesting - I might give it another go soon! :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 :)
She’s a labour of love that little Rocket
haha, for sure! Not too bad for the age though! xD
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I like the Barclay 0-4-0 and the Terrier.
Me too Edward - great choices! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I’m gonna be getting my first model train set tomorrow! MONDAY 11/1/21 8:47 AM
So how is it?
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 :)
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 :)
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
Liked you rocket flying round the track and Whitechapel Terrier .
haha thanks mate - yeah I always love getting that Rocket running!
Cheers,
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 :)
These Engines really are the Smallest I’ve ever seen in OO Gauge!
haha yeah! They're certainly the smallest I have! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Yes
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
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.
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 :)
My favorite little locomotive is LBSCR Terrier 55 "whitechapel"
Very good choice - very nice loco that one! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
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 :)
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 :)
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.
where is your ruston shunter another very small loco ok is got a tender but so has the rocket
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 :)
A little upset that the P Class wasn’t there but a great video none the less
Yeah true - but I had the Terrier instead, which was very similar!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Amazing job as always Sam.
Thanks a lot mate! :D
Now theese are more of my type of engines
Also 1:43 that sound! Haha
That's good to hear - I love these too!! :D
haha - it was worth a go! ;D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
@@SamsTrains yea I just bought a small engine on amazon
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
Ahh is there really?! That's very cool - I'll have to look that up! :D
Thanks for watching - 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 :)
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!
sounds great
Thanks Gabe! :D
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
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 :)
Could you please tell me How much would it cost to send you my triang dock shunter
P.s. it has an LED and I live in the east Midlands
Hi mate, feel free to send me an email with photos and info. Usually I can do the tri-ang stuff for under £20, depending on what the problems might be!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Do another one of these
That would be awesome Alfie! :D
Yes do it again this a good show with the small engines
Thanks a lot Louis - glad you enjoyed this one too! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
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
