- An A4 that I was not expecting to get. A Great Goodbye addition of "Union of South Africa". I filmed this while my Hornby Toby was breaking in, and I did have fun with the two engines that I got that day. Hope you enjoyed it. :)
Very nice, you just can’t beat the A4’s. Lovely model
No you cannot. lol. :)
I love her
Same. She’s a beaut.
👌quality unboxing
Thx. :)
Wow your really lucky to get one of my favourite a4 locomotive. It’s quite hard to find one in the uk I’m sure there’s one hiding somewhere in a store or online
I met the real union of South African at my local heritage railway where I work as a volunteer. But sadly she’s retired from service. Not sure where she is now
Yeah, I was lucky to find this engine from someone on eBay in my country. You’re right, she is pretty hard to find now, cause every model of this engine Hornby has released, they always make her a limited run. I think this is, what, their third or fourth Union of South Africa?
It’s amazing you got to see her in person, I wish I could’ve before they retired her, completely, but I guess you snooze, you lose. Same in the US. Lol. But oh well. :)
@@skylitejunction5589 yeah but one day soon I might find one hopefully. Actually union of South Africa was the 11th a4 to be built, her original name was osprey.
Yes it really was and got photos and selfies of her. I believe she’s going to a museum somewhere
@@Pirate-Scorcher-1998 Well, I knew her name was Osprey, I actually meant Hornby’s model, but thanks for that info. Lol. :)
Hi. Some little update on number 9. Recently they change the name plate to black. The reason why is that the photographers having troubles to see the name in the red background. I don’t know will they put the original red name plate back on when it’s in a museum
And now sadly union of South African is now retired and it’s still at my local heritage railway. This weekend it’s the autumn steam gala and originally number 9 should be taking part but it had a problem. So they gonna put her on display at a station
Do you have other social media sites like instagram, Twitter ect ?
@@Pirate-Scorcher-1998 Yo, apologies for the late reply. But yes, I do have an instagram, actually. You can follow me @skylite_junction ;)
Again, apologies for the late reply. I must’ve gotten the notification, but I probably forgot about it entirely due to work, or life in general. 😣
0:09 running in the 90s
The 90’s? 😂
For some reason union of south africa's boiler ticket is suppose to expire in this year but i think she is still working an engine with an expired boiler should by overhauled or withdrawn it for awhile i think
Ah.
If sir nigel gresley's overhaul will be done union of south africa i think will be retired from service maybe
@@cubekid8977 I didn’t know that.
@@skylitejunction5589 ok
@@skylitejunction5589 one more thing union of south africa will be withdrawn from service in 2022 and will be a static display sir nigel gresley will take over her mainline work
Awesome dude that’s amazing absolutely astounding I love it
The engine or the thumbnail? Sorry, a bit confused. Lol. :)
@@skylitejunction5589 obviously the a4 look at that absolutely beautiful and remember I said you should do a race pocket rocket hornby Percy and an a4
Oh, right. Sorry. Lol. 😂
Percy and the A4? But it wouldn’t be fair. Percy would be much faster, and he would fly off the track. The A4’s, I can make them go as fast as Percy, but if they fly off the track, oh man, it wouldn’t be pretty. 😱😱
But I do have an idea similar to that. :)
@@skylitejunction5589 you should put both of the engines at the same speed
@@magicguystudios7940 I can do that. It’ll be tricky though. Lol.
union of south africa go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Indeed. :3
