Opening the Mixed Goods Train Set by Hornby
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 мар 2012
- Yes, I KNOW 9 is not a prime number - I blame the sun (too much of) Now called the 'Mixed Freight' set, this train set is Hornby's defacto DCC beginner's set - featuring 2x DCC factory fitted locomotives, a small rake of rolling stock, some track and of course - a DCC controller. Whilst the overall quality of the set is far from premium, for someone wanting to enter the world of DCC, this set makes for a great stepping stone.

i have weatherd my bp wagon and class 08 and the set got me into the hobby
witch is amazing and i have 5 trains on my layout :)
Thank you so much for doing a tutorial for the DCC
thanks for the comment! And it sure is a great stepping stone into DCC - fact.
Great video Will as usual. Great that you get two locomotives in the same pack, track, cars, and DCC!! great value for customers
Thanks for reviewing this set Will. Was thinking of something like this when I dive into DCC.
great video as always i would also like to congratulate you on 4000 subscribers!!
I'll take a look at scenery and buildings when vids on the new layout are well underway.
Well done will! You have sold me with this set - right after Christmas I am running down to my model shop and buying the 'Mixed Frieght' (the current version) set from Hornby! I have never been sure about DCC. But I have decided to dip my toe in!
Will amazing as per usual cant wait to see what you come up with next
You have a great sense of humor!
I totally enjoy watching your videos dude. In fact, its been enough to get me back into the hobby! After losing my job in the recession I was forced to sell a lot of my loco's (heartbreaking), but now (and with the help of a new job) i'm slowly buying them back from modelshops. Thanks again.
It's a great little workhorse, you're right. Thanks for the comment!
the chip in my jinty broke but ive fixed it now. 6 years in the running. nice video. can't wait for more
Excellent review as usual.
I'm new to model railways and I'm trying to build a layout with a number of different types of train. I found this set perfect as a beginner because it introduced me to DCC . As is said in this video the shunter and loco are fine for us beginners. It didn't take long for me to want more so I bought a Virgin Pendolino and more recently the Flying Scotsman. With a few more pieces of track I soon had 2 oval circuits and watching the Pendolino and the Scotsman going round the track and reversing them into sidings is fantastic. Everything came into life. So for what it's worth I thorougly recommend this set for beginners but you will soon want newer DCC locos.
Brilliant set! :D Look great double heading those locos :)
Great info as I'm about to buy this set. Cheers.
ahhh! A very nice set indeed - good choice! :)
Time flies
A good idea for a video! I'll plan an entire DCC series.
Thank you very much for your excellent video.
Thank YOU for the comment!
+InterCity82 wow. I'm not the only one! I thought everyone who had this set had the 08 and the J86 and I was the only one who had the 08 and the 3F.
This is a great video for 8 years old 😁👌
Amazing set!
Keep up the great videos
I love this locomotive's engine sound... 8)
More on that to come. I get asked it a LOT. All I can say is keep watching if that is what you'r interested in.
Great video well done.
thanks for the comment!
good work mate!!
thanks for the comment! :)
Love your videos. I'm thinking of getting into this as a hobby, but it seems like one that can easily get out of control! :D
thank you for the feedback!
well yeah, I hoped it would be a useful video for people you see. It really is a great way to get into DCC - on a budget too.
yup!
thanks David! :)
I had this as my first DCC set. I use the steam train as my test train as i am laying track, its been a real workhorse for me.
thank you for the comment!
Oh wow love it i want this soo much...just to get started with dcc
that's excellent! I work these two quite hard too - and the Class 08 is tasked with the job of moving the Dapol track cleaner around the track.
i wish you the best in building your layout!
this was my first ever train set, i got for it my Christmas when I was seven, I really wish I got it when I was at least a bit older because I wrecked the hell out off it
I have a diesel ending in 24 and a steam loco ending in 24 - what would you do then?
thanks on this review I may get this set for my Bday
I already have a system that works very well for me. I write them down in a book and as I learn them... I need the book less and less.
I have already done several on the Class 153.
I have a premium 08, it's amazing, nice vid
That set might be reviewed soon!
I love jinty he's my favorite steam engine
haha thanks!
DCC fitted means they have put a DCC chip in at the factory, DCC ready means there is a socket in the loco, ready and waiting for a chip of your choice.
thanks Jaike!
I've just bought this set as new, but there is no documentation at all in the box. Should there be, and if so what should I be looking for, could you tell me please?
20:11 "He says" Thats what my Technology teacher at school says :D Great video :)
awesome mate :)
have I just seen what looks like thomas(jinty0-6-0) and diesel (class 08)
I know thomas is an e02
Miraj Ali why do people think that diesel was a 08? He was not. He was a prototype build somewhere in the 1930s
Arry and bert were class 08s
Miraj Ali Im pretty sure thats a J83,Could be wrong tho
cheers buddy!
thanks! how come you got out can I ask?
How would I get the dcc controller to power two ovals of track Thanks from Australia
very good point!
I love classic coaches! )))
I wish I had the money you had to get one of these awesome sets
just realised wheres the blue tack. and if i have an oval like mine and keep all of my loco's in there small sidings with the points switch on the oval, so no power is going in to the sidings will it change there number or keep it the same. do i have to take all of them off the track?
if two loco's have the same number but there are point's separating the two for example one of them is in a siding would both of them still run ? ( i dont think it will i was just wondering )
I saw a diesel like that in this second hand train set from the 80s made by hornby and it was this coal dumper kinda thing
Where did you buy this and how much did this cost and what is the track size as I will put other train on this I hope it is 1:87 please tell me
Hello could you tell me the difference between the Hornby mixed goods train set and the Hornby mixed freight train set please it's baffling my mind thanks 🤣😁
"Doesn't look like a class 40 or I doesn't look like an apple!"
I shall look into it but you're right, it won't be for a while as I have so much to do!
Great review will. Im jealous that you live in england im american and shipping is pretty high to get a parcel here from the uk. Sweet set too. Great DCC simplification
haha! You're quite right! I needed to go up to 11! lol I shall annotate the vid accordingly. (The locos are now renumbered back in accordance with my system anyway - under 20 being steam, under 40 being diesel and under 60 being electric)
yes! All DCC works with all DCC
Could you do a video about points that you should use with DCC. Electrofrog or insulfrog?
Thanks
GYRUSSE
Thanks +InterCity82 I now undersatnd what DCC is
yes! I think the set is called 'The Majestic'
i liked youer tarin and nice video
I recently got the dcc ready flying Scotsman, and no matter what number I set it, it just sits there making a grinding noise
Set it to "00". That's the address for running non-DCC trains on DCC equipped layouts. "DCC Ready" means it's not fitted for DCC, but can be adapted easily. "DCC On Board" means it's fitted for DCC.
What control do you use on your layout generally? I currently have the Bachman Dynamis & Hornby Select but I am thinking of getting the Hornby Elite as the Dynamis doesn't cope well with my accessory decoders & reverse loop modules both by Hornby.
I think the wind blew a blind which knocked a wagon off the window sill - it looked so cool tho, I thought I'd leave it for a bit lol
Hello, I am a long time viewer and considering to switch from N scale to OO Scale. I have been looking at the Mixed Freight DCC Set for a while now. But I have seen 2 versions, the one you have with a Class Jinty and another set with a J83, is it by random chance of getting once of these? Thank you!
Good day, BigAllan
No mate if you order the one from hattons or hornby it's a jinty
awesone wish i had it
It was bought off a friend of a friend. Details for it on the IC82 website.
Don't you find the Hornby Dcc controller to be a little bit annoying? I do because when ever I try to put the lights on i always mess up lol
I wish this is available in Asia😢
Errman Saif theres always ebay :)
think it might be
I live in a country that buying the things from internet is not a good idea people are careless or steal them in airports and you have to pay half the price of to get it in my country so it’s cheaper to go to the UK
(My country is Argentina)
I remember this until now
hi have you worked out how to get their sound effects working if you have let me know how to do it because ive recently went over to dcc but im trying to figure out how to use the sounds of the locomotives thanks Michael
I do not think there is sound effects I have try ed to get them to work.
iv got this set, love it, Will does hornby do a dcc sound 3f jinty???
Ryan Andersen yah
can u put a track out for a month or something and put it away quite a few times without braking them?
I'll post it before anyone else does: 9 isn't a prime number as it can be divided by 3. Aside from this, nice video as per usual!
Do you get them holding sheds with the sets or to you have buy them,if you do how much are they
thanks!!!
i think it fell off the window sill above - but it looked so cool I left it for a bit haha!
haha thanks for the comment!
Hehe they switched the locos around on some of the boxes.
Is the this Hornby DCC controller better than the Bachman EZ Command thing?
PLEASE DO THE HORNBY TORNADO PULLMAN SET
Anita B I agree
Anita B p
hi what controller do you recomend bachmann dynamis or hornby selesct
can a hornby engine be outfitted with a bachman decoder???
Could you please do a reveiw on the NRM Flyingscotsman because I am thingking of geting and whant to see what you will say about it.
Will you be getting one of the two E Link sets,Or just trying out E link?
