Hi I have a set of Mail Coach kits of the Coronation coaches. I bought them from a friend who was left them in an estate. He was only interested in US prototypes. Have you tried Hobbyrama? Good luck and you've got a nice layout. Paul from Zillmere

I strongly suspect Hornby will do another release of these coaches so hopefully you'll be able to get the missing pair then and not at highway robber prices. In the meantime they did sometimes run with just six. Sadly I missed the inital pre-order at £99/pair as I wasn't working at the time so couldn't afford them. However my finances have improves since then and I got a pre-order in for the full rake just before hornby raised the price again last year. Their a quality set with great detail, interiors lights and the tail lights. And the close coupling is fantastic, especially when you fit the magnetic coach ends and couplings. Hornby have just announced A4 'Dominion of New Zealand' in the Coronation livery of garter blue and silver trim in their Dublo range to go with this set. I've already got Dublo 'Dominion of Canada' and the extra weight of the diecast body makes a difference when hauling the full rake compared to my plastic A4s, which manage but sometimes have a bit of wheel slip when starting off. I was surprised your tender drive D49 managed it.

Hi Stewart, Super set along with mighty fine locos as for the odd one out set could you have it resprayed a lot cheaper than A$500 I would think, keep up the good work so nice to see your layout running so well. Cheers Robert.

I always watch until the end Stewart - otherwise I’d miss out on other gems like the brush turkey! Those articulated coaches are pretty smart, and the blood and custard set doesn’t look out of place at all. The night scene was excellent. All the best mate.

Steam at Night is magical. I'd love to see GWR steamies running at night.

I’m running a seven car set as really I don’t have enough space for the final pair .so coaches A-F and the beavertail car hauled by my old Hornby Seagull . With magnetic close coupling she looks superb. Cheshire dates from 1981 .

Nice find. THose are some stunningly beautiful coaches, and you got the cab car! Best wishes on completing the set soon!

You want it you oays for it ..thats another saying ..but yes a great find and well worth paying for what you want , not seen those articulated ones before but certainly look great ..making for a very nice rake on the A4 .....Golden Eagle sure sounds and looks great also

Hello Hollpll, what a lovely set the Coronation set is.. Loved your comment "at least Dick Turpin wore a mask, just priceless fella..! An absolute load of highwaymen on auction sites these days its actually cheaper to buy new from retailers now..! Always great to see your lovely layout, just fantastic, and never boring.

Lovely coaches, but $500 for 1 rareish coach is a bridge too far. My missus would skin me. That's a very nice layout too, sets the trains off beautifully. Steven.

Those Blood and Custard Coaches look like they have been repainted. Could they have been Teak coaches originally? I can only run a six-coach train on my layout. Like you, I model LNER. Martin. (Thailand)

Always a pleasure viewing down-under, thanks for posting 'Hollpoll'! Even loved the little nature clip at the end. Does 'Chugger' get to make appearance next time? Si

just love these old videos Thanks for Posting this gem

心に染みるねー！❤

Excellent documentary but I find the music intrusive and too loud

I’m sure that this has been answered elsewhere: where can we see more of the amazing layout that features throughout the film?

Merry Christmas HollPoll, from Lincolnshire. Great vid!

Excellent work mate always a pleasure to see your progress

Merry Xmas from UK,Thanks for many hours watching your videos,Lookin forward to watching many moe in 2025.

Merry Christmas and or whatever you may celebrate! Wonderful model and great addition of the classic footage! Wonderful production.

All the Vry Bst to you and Family Stuart fro Christmas and the New Year ....a lot gone on in the 15 years and more we have been in the hobby ...unfortunatley prices are getting ridiculously high ...The Coronation Scott is a nice set , I have the same one but never fot round to adding sound to it ...Dave

Hi nice video Happy Christmas😀😀😀

Merry Christmas to you Stewart

And seasonal greetings to you Stewart! Always a pleasure to watch what’s happening on your layout and new acquisitions. The Jones Goods looks a fantastic loco - so look forward to a bit more air-time at Angeltown in the new year. That Coronation is as impressive too. Take care, and I had a smile at the end at that caption about 2025😂😂Yes, it’ll be interesting what’s around the corner.

Amazing film footage compilation and very important for recording these train movements in Folkestone & Dover before they are forgotten by the next generation. Thank you so very much. 👍👍👍

Is there any chance of parts 1 & 2 of this trilogy being posted on this channel?

In no time at all, Liverpool went from being world-beaters to the worst I had ever seen from that club. The recruitment under Souness was abysmal.

イノセントマン の中で一番好きかも なぜか ビリーザベストに入ってない😭

nice to see such fab footage especially of those not often seen on video ex Southern classes. Love the R1s and have two on my layout still running sweetly at nearly 60 years old! Great to see that one with the cut down cab for the Whitstable branch?

Don't be too hard on yourself, mate. We all make mistakes. Perhaps the mistake you made was made for sentimental reasons. Yet I agree that it's no good purchasing an expensive model, which you can't run on your railway. Can't you send it back and get a refund? It might make you feel better.

Nice update. The City of Bristol looks lovely. Happy Trains. RIP Bob.

Think it’s called old age Stuart .. we all fall for things too quickly without reading the small print … someone will buy it from you .. keep smiling and keep em rolling ..

Gee Stewart, I think we’ve all been caught out by expensive mistakes! I’ve done it, but on the other hand, I’ve picked up some decent bargains along the way, so maybe in the long run they even themselves out☺️ See , you picked up your $100 bargain with the blue loco! And please - don’t do carpet reviews. If I tried that, I’d have trouble getting up off the floor😀 Always enjoy your videos!

Marklin do make DC two rail models, but importantly now under their Trix brand, at least in this century. Was pleased to come across their Trix K class 2-12-0 second hand in excellent condition at a very good price in a Melbourne local hobby shop.

Unless one is in the genre, it is an easy mistake to make. I am a Märklin fan and runner, but when I bought my first train in late 2015, I didn't know they were 3 rail, either. Now, I am all 3 rail (AC). It is a bit involved, but there are videos to show you how you could convert it back to DC (2-Rail) and maybe still enjoy it. It's a bit of re-wiring and switch out the wheels to DC (insulated) ones. You may even have spares of those around. Anyhow, that was a BEAUTIFUL blue steamer. The 4-6-0 was sharp, but the blue just stands out nicely. The Chinese DF11 was definitely an impressive weight. Nice layout and great running trains!

How much do you want for it ??

Amazing ....songs nowadays don't modulate or have a sax player

Liked this. However, shouldn't the title be as per the record, 'I Named My Little Girl Holly'? Anyone know what happened to Lee Jackson?

GREAT !!!

Excellent, thank you.

Now the journey only costs 50¢* 😂

Wonderful to see 32424 recreated.

Liked the DB br232 diesel

Great selection of stock you have and great to see on your layout Stuart

Hi Stewart, A very nice collection of clips edited together made a super running session thank you. Cheers Robert.

Excellent running. Cool layout and fantastic trains. Very enjoyable.

Should have ended with a more atmospheric GWR steamy and a rake of Chocolate & Cream Mk. 1 coaches. That's so much more magical. I'd like to see those diesels static, and every single one of your steam engines running, in a fun Steam Gala event. Bring out short goods trains, double-head some passenger trains, run a brake van special with P Class Bluebell at the helm. Steam Rules supreme, except the ugly P2 and GT3.

Such a good new version of this tune. Thanks. Such a great find. 👏👍👏

What a wonderful way to spend 15 minutes - watching the trains go by at Angeltown! That’s a pretty evocative end as well Stewart - although I’m uncertain if the guard in the brake van is happy about the tank pointing its turret at him!

After that modulation on the last verse this song is SO freaking high, and Joel's all over it! He has such excellent timbre and complete control you don't even notice what an incredibly high voice he has. BTW, the music to the chorus was written by Beethoven, who gets a credit on the album. the original version was Karl Haas's theme for "Adventures in Fine Music."
