Happy New Year 🎉🎉🎉

The truck described American style looks like a Swedish Scania. There is few like this in the UK.

Do you have any Hornby catalogues from the 1920's (if they even exist) It would be great to see one from the very early days of British model trains. Cheers!

Cool looking models, thanks for sharing. Dave

That was a small catalog. Thanks for sharing. Dave

Year I was born. Thanks for sharing. Dave

Really good looking rolling stock. Thanks for sharing. Dave

Looks a good layout.

That is pretty awesome, when i went to the SDR, bubble cars where about £120 or something, which isnt too bad!

Great video thanks for sharing this video and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you, John

Nice one! I've never actually seen an Oxford Models catalogue before. I couldn't read the text clearly but enough to work out what they are. I think sometimes the focus isn't 100% as it varies between videos. Look forward to the later catalogue which includes newer models. Happy Holidays!

Perfect size small yes but not to tiny either

This was the very first catalogue I had. I was 9 (65 now). I would spend hours poring over it and it completely fell to pieces. Dad bought me another one. That was on it's way out too when next years came out. I recently picked up a copy from eBay. So many memories.

Something different and interesting catalogue, nice to see different gauges, thanks for sharing

Thank you for all these interesting videos !

Great video

It seems the pre-production R997 looked better colour wise, as oppose to the awful orange production version. What was Hornby thinking.

I remember buying their "0" gauge set at that time, and I still have it !

Another interesting catalogue, thanks for sharing J

Always interesting and nice to see something different, thanks for sharing this video, John

Nice 👍

I had more fun with a clockwork 0-4-0 70 years ago than DCC sound today.

Big selection back then. Thanks for sharing. Dave

Can u imagine putting a tie on to run trains. Thanks for sharing. Dave

Great video yeah very early HD range, just looking at those early couplings, imagine Christmas morning waking up to a train set like these, John

Very useful identified my child hood set. Now ordered

Thanks for sharing!

are there no 00 steam trains by lima please?

Really enjoyed another look at this interesting catalogue thanks for sharing J

Wonderful memories. I had some Wrenn models on my first proper layout; my Dad built it for me when I was about ten!

What about the nir 70 class in its sealink

Another interesting HD foldout, love the 3 rail, thanks for sharing J

Did the Wrenn line produce good locomotives? They had a great selection of coaches. Thanks for sharing. Dave

I can remember my dad having a couple of these.

I've been there a few times, great shop

Something different today, I've got some clockwork stuff, never had any as a young person so it's nice to have a few items, thanks for sharing John

Great video, not seen this one before, enjoyed it, John

Great video as always, thanks for sharing John

Again I must comment, class 800 are not like HSTs. The driving cars are NOT power cars so you don't have power/dummy cars, the power cars are the intermediate cars with the engines.

Great short video, the early HD were fold outs, always interesting, thanks for sharing John

Thats the 73 stock The s stock is on the sub surface lines and the 73 stock is on the Piccadilly line

Yet another classic catalogue!! You must have a wonderful collection of old catalogues!!

Another great video of the catalogue, I've got quite a lot of these clockwork trains, rolling stock, buildings etc, just love them, thanks for sharing John

Really enjoyed it, I've got the 1961 catalogue, not much change really except only showing series 3 track and not standard track, thanks for sharing this video, John

Really cool models. Thanks for sharing. Dave

I think the ones with the Euro couplings are definitely HO. Their class 33 in HO is much smaller than the OO version, I have both. I specifically sought out a HO scale class 33 in order to use the chassis for a DMU kit bash project. The Lima HO coaches are quite small too. If you want to turn a Dapol Kitmaster Park Royal Railbus into a bubble car, the empty body shell clips straight on to a Lima HO scale Class 33 chassis. The HO version is a perfect fit, the OO version is way too big. Just throwing that in for fun. 😊

Thanks for sharing. Interesting comment from CZ350tuner.

In 1953, the then new Triang Railways, expanded their locomotive range by adding the R.51 "Jinty" 0-6-0T tank loco. At the time, nobody realised that this marked the impending doom of Hornby Dublo, 12 years later. The model was powered by an X01 (disc commutator) motor, with a double length magnet installed. Removing the motor meant dismantling the chassis. The cellulose acetate was painted satin black and the boiler front had a clear space under it (a "see under" boiler). The model had alcohol BR unicycling lion transfers, on the water tank sides and tampo printed running numbers, on the coal bunker sides. This model was a tad underpowered, compared to later X03 & X04 versions. I own one of these very first production run R.52 "Jinty" locos.

Something different, love these catalogues, anything related to the Oxford would be great, J

I have a couple of EFE buses, so would like to see more of these, cheers
