Tbh I want one of these

This is excellent

Thank you so much for making this programme available. I had just the last nine minutes of this on VHS from when it was first shown.

I like to ride one of those and those products for my birthday

I like to have those train products for the exhibition and my birthday

I think this is pretty clever for heritage railways because it shows how the trains can’t run without your donation

The only thing to do with n or ho scale locomotive if it doesn't work and cant be fixed is strip it's mechanicals out and yet it be a non power control unit

Thats really cool

British models are overpriced crap

Where about is this? Nice little layout!

Surprised on how well this video has done, not sure if its due to Thomas in the thumbnail or something else...

At that point you might have to just put a diesel behind it and use it as a dummy Loco and make it seem like it’s running

I know that music!

😢

I have heard the background music from somewhere on one of BBC’s breakdowns. I love trains, shame this one couldn’t be saved.

ARTHUR-

I bough a mainline 43xx like 2 years ago spent around 10 hours fixing it and buying some new parts and now its working like new

Awesome!!!!!

it could be used as a scrap dressing

Yeah, that folks is what you called timing and in anime it's always like this haha.

The unquartered wheels are the result of the nylon gears and axles cracking overtime (fixable with CA glue or replacement gears/axle)

I wonder if a 3D printer could be used to make a new chassis...

I first saw Bob on Mark Found's Garden Railway series and at once I found him to be an enjoyable person. He always appears to have a smile on his face which shows just how much he loves this hobby. He even came to my old miniature railway club which even featured on one of his programmes talking about model engineering. If there were to be more Model Railway themed programmes made in the future, we need more presenters like Bob who sees the potential in railway modelling and not joke about it being an old fashion hobby.

Darth Santa Fe made a decent video on repairing an old Bachmann split chassis loco, if you can get the driveline sorted and everything mechanical working then try making some tender pickups, a far more reliable connection than picking up through the axles Electrical faults (barring a cooked motor) are far, far easier to rectify than something mechanical

"stays nice and dry"...tell that to my old layout before it got flooded

Great video as ever Callum, I can’t relate, I got an old Tri-ang Britannia, had a few good runs, then gave up the ghost.

Man, even sooty has a gaugemaster

Last month I bought a Mainline Manor Class and it was very similar. The axles all split and it was a nightmare to glue them back together. Some came loose again, but it's now able to carry it's own weight. I still like the model though. Old Mainline locos are well known for split axles and if someone tells me a model doesn't run I wont touch it because it's many hours of work to correctly quarter the wheels, clean the chassis and the motor. The one resurrection which went wrong was a Tri-ang BR Flying Scotsman. That one had a chassis issue and it burned three motors. Had to throw it sadly and buy another new chassis, but I always keep the spare parts even when I decide to "scrap" a locomotive. I have one final Mainline loco coming this month, a Modified Hall and I'm curious if it will be a 10 minute clean or a 2 hour quartering job.

I was in a pinch finishing my layout one night. I needed some long grass so I used the hair off of my nutsack. Worked 👍🏼

I thought he train was gonna hit him at the start

So, driver and fireman in train cab and passengers in real carriages, will there be the same in the models, thus giving a true rendition of railways life? Or will it be the usual ECS or painted out black windows, thus negating the need for a proper job, by taking the easy way out? If you are only going to portray half the picture, you may as not bother at all, because i am ex-train crew, (both guard and driver) and will not be watching if you don't.

I miss his lner colours

That is lovely

I operated one of those before when I was at a NEC event

This set predicted the Steamies vs Diesels teaser trailer

I had seen these products at the model railway exhibition in Gaydon motor museum, all I ever wanted was a train set for my birthday or Christmas

I do got a six wheeled Thomas the tank engine from my father Peter

Got one of these locomotives 2-8-0, it smokes well but it's chimney has slammed with the heat for some reason

I also go to a model club that’s just up the road from me 😊

Ive started collecting all of the stuff my dad did. Its great for distracting me from all pf the rubbish the media is pushing.

I think for a basic hornby suggested layout this is brilliantly done. I love your bargin finds and am going to try copy some techniques from you. Well done love the collection 👏

Wish i had a club like this in new zealand. Only club near me does old tin plate stuff

Lovely little layout

😮what railway was this sorry?

What kind of sd card do you need to put inside the camera

Super layout. The buildings were a nice find. Nice tunnel setup. Nice running as well.

Nice video. Where did you get the music? 😊
