Did anyone else see that the city class is derailed on the thumbnail? Ha, ha, that's a fun little Easter egg.

[@SamsTrains]

haha very well spotted - not many people have noticed that ;D Happy New Year, Sam :)

[@comradeopthomasthehedgehog]

I noticed that once I read that main comment.

[@chumgalaxyaltk3723]

I did

[@theresawhittington9849]

I noticed it to

[@jamiekat5755]

Me too

[@white_star_locomotive5180]

I hold a special place in my heart for the Q1.

[@SamsTrains]

Me too - such a fantastic and unusual class! :D Cheers, Sam :)

[@solar_9878]

Same here, its one of my favourites

[@williamtacey7770]

Neville been based on Q1 we’ll remembered from Thomas stories

[@connorscobbie1037]

Despite the Q1's very undressed appearance the sheer simplicity in wheel configuration for a tender engine really gives it that WorkHorse feel. It wasnt made to pull them fancy trips from city to city, this one got the work done as it shouldve, quite frankly however I prefer the more industrial side to the railways so the Q1 is really a beauty in my eyes. Excellent running session as always. Cheers.

[@SamsTrains]

Hi thanks very much for the comment! Yeah you're dead right - they're so businesslike, which is what I love about them! All the best, Sam :)

[@colinbesio2024]

I Love model trains Ho my name is Colin besio

[@markrobert6028]

Good one, Sam. I love Q1's. Good to see how little has changed on "the Railway" over the years!

[@jojowhyte7540]

I've heard that Edward James and Thomas when was in the war as well

[@SamsTrains]

Yeah they would be actually, if they were built between 1939, which they were!! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@PCMan8922]

Your Trains Look Magnificent.

[@JaeV2000]

finally go round to watching it and its a great running video, love all the different loco

[@SamsTrains]

+GWR23 Studios Thanks a lot for watching and commenting mate - glad you enjoyed the locos! Cheers, Sam :)

[@user-ps9fo1kj8e]

Really enjoyed that sam love the ambulance train it would have been nice to see the coronation Scott among them too great video thank you 😊😊

[@michaelgamble296]

I recall "Sir Ralph Wedgewood" used to run through Welwyn Garden City where we lived throughout the War. Yet you say it was destroyed? My memory must be 'going' then! But I do remember travelling up to Kings Cross with my Father and sharing a compartment with Sir Nigel Gresley - from Welwyn Garden City to Kings Cross. When I told him 'Your engine is dirty!' he sent me a works photo of it - we were behind his name-sake, of course. That was in 1940 - I still have the Works Photo from him.

[@k1ngt1g3r]

Hi Sam bit of history on your 8F. She was built at Crewe works for LMS and went into service in October 1942. Served for 24 yrs, 9 months, 22 days. Sadly, she was scrapped in December 1967.

[@SamsTrains]

Hi mate, thanks so much for the history on her - much appreciated, and great to know! All the best, Sam :)

[@patrickmurphy6775]

A very enjoyable and informative video. Great work!

[@mariebcfhs9491]

I'm not a rivet counter but in mix freight-passenger trains, the coaches are coupled behind the freight cars, separated by a flat car or a tare box car. The reason for this combination is that passenger trains are heavier and putting them at the back would help tighten the couplers, secondly if the freights catches fire (yours is full of tank cars so...) the separator car will protect the passengers.

[@SamsTrains]

Yes you are right, this is true! Though maybe crazy things happened during wartime, who knows?! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@MatthewChenault]

This reminds me of N&W 1218’s history. She was built specifically due to the wartime demand for locomotives and entered service in 1943 along with her sister locomotives.

[@miscellaneous.7127]

Fantastic video!! the info was great and so were the locos!

[@SamsTrains]

+Why Not? Thank you very much, really glad you enjoyed it! :D Cheers, Sam :)

[@brianartillery]

Engine cabs had blinds which covered the windows and doorways for night running, to hide the glare from the firebox. German bombers often followed main lines to cities on night raids. German aircraft did shoot up railways here, but as the war drew on, RAF air cover got better and better, as did anti aircraft guns, and large railway installations would have had barrage balloons, keeping enemy aircraft higher. Stations in London and elsewhere were bombed - but the trains kept running. The 'Shire' guide, 'Railways In War Time' is a fascinating little book.

[@SamsTrains]

Duly noted Brian - thanks very much for the info! :D Cheers, Sam :)

[@TheYjmfan]

Great video Sam really interesting. Thanks, just set my one up today first time,and it all works lol, got the tornado express.

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks very much mate! That's fantastic to hear - glad it all worked for you! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@kyankoh2991]

Henry and Neville were war heroes?

[@SamsTrains]

Yeah I guess they were! :D All the best, Sam :)

[@kyankoh2991]

oh and Edward too as well?

[@comradeopthomasthehedgehog]

No.

[@ryanjames1691]

Kyan Koh and spencer was one too

[@supergeorge8603]

Kyan Koh not quite Henry’s basis it has an 2-8-0 wheel arrangement

[@peters1127]

Excellent running session, would like to see more of just running trains with a theme or not.

[@caiusmartius]

Hi Sam, the Q1 is a beautiful loco, how dare you say otherwise! lol. Excellent upload once again...keep sharing your videos...cheers Kev.

[@SamsTrains]

nice running session and different idea like the war trains idea and love the bachmann war set

[@SamsTrains]

+layout 123 Thanks a lot mate, thought I'd try something different - glad you liked the Ambulance set, it's one of my favourites! :D Cheers, Sam

[@lawrenceogden8682]

GREAT VIDEO GREAT LAYOUT ONE CORRECTION THE Q1 IS NOT AN UGLY LOCO IT IS A BEAUTIFUL LOCO AND ONLY ONE REMAINS AT YORK I SAW SEVERAL OF THEM ON SOUTHERN REGION RAILS AND THEY ARE A FANTASTIC LOCO

[@SamsTrains]

THANKS LAWRENCE, I THINK THEY'RE QUITE BEAUTIFUL IN THEIR OWN WAY TOO!!!!! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@Steamking-fr9zl]

Sam I adore the q1 class and plan on getting one on my American layout

[@SamsTrains]

Hi! That's an awesome idea - they're great models! Good luck with the shopping! :D Cheers, Sam :)

[@Bruno.Trains]

Very nice, I do like this set!

[@SamsTrains]

+RAILsIMAGES Thanks very much, it's a gorgeous set! Cheers, Sam :)

[@ChapelEndJunctionUK]

Nice video Sam but had to have a little chuckle at the very important wartime frieght that the Q1 was pulling , Smiths crisps , Weetabix and Kit Kats . Keep the old moral up Eh ! Noticed Bully at 20.25 .......Peter.

[@SamsTrains]

+Peter Shaw haha thanks mate - I don't have much variety in freight, so I just used everything! I should have said that it was just war locos, not the rolling stock haha ;) Cheers mate, Sam :)

[@jimbo57109]

very good sam well done on the knowledge i too am a keen railroader with out a layout

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks very much, really glad you liked it! Ahh that's a shame - maybe one day eih?? All the best, Sam :)

Derailment on the thumbnail 😂😂

[@SamsTrains]

haha well spotted!! :D

[@infinitethenextkazekage392]

Idk why but ever since I saw the episode of Thomas that Neville came I always had a love for that type of engine

[@SamsTrains]

haha yeah me too! :D

[@Hiawatha_Productions]

My favorite train out of that entire video is the Southern Railway Class Q1

[@SamsTrains]

Ooh good choice - I love those too! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@Night_Star6248]

The black steam engine is Neville from Thomas and friends

[@SamsTrains]

Yep that's right! :D

[@christopherwarren9439]

Hi sam just saw your video yes I know it's a few years old but can you give me the name and types of war trains from ww1 what might have been used on the front of ww1

[@Mildcat743]

Another good loco choice for the A4 would have been Dwight D. Eisenhower, since it was named after the Supreme Commander of Allied Forces during WWII.

[@SamsTrains]

I didn't know that Lucas - thanks for the tip! :D Cheers, Sam :)

[@NorthernSoulExpress]

Good video, the trains weren't very accurate but the loco's were so that's good, FYI the A4 was named sir Ralph Wedgwood when it was destroyed

[@SamsTrains]

+Northern Soul Express Thanks a lot, sorry about the rolling stock but I don't have a great deal of variety in freight! Thanks for the info on Ralph, I found that out when it was too late! Cheers, Sam :)

[@AlanPalgut]

S69/B12 - GER, presented in LNER black livery of WWII, so these guys were around during both wars

[@SamsTrains]

HI Alan, thanks a lot for that - yeah that's what I was thinking, they served for an impressive length of time! Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@zanethompson6087]

His Q1 is beautifully weathered

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks Zane - that one was done in the factory, but yes it's very nicely done! :D Cheers mate, Sam :)

[@LHoriginal]

I do love that 8f in this video. Did you know that the lner ordered some 8f's and re classified them as 06 locomotives

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks very much Sharky! No I don't think I knew that! :O Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@RufusBoi2008]

This audio was really good for 4 years ago

[@towcat]

I notice this is all standard track and is not combined with a roadbed such as Bachmanns's E-Z Track (nightmare) and Kato's Unitrak. Is it secured to the floor or is it just sitting there? Most of the time I try to use standard sections, it's very annoying and barely works.

[@SamsTrains]

Yeah that's right - in places it's secured down, but in other areas it's free to move around a bit - that way I can modify the track if necessary! Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@samrudge2726]

Yeah I did

[@samuelelder9434]

8:30-8:40 you lost a passenger 😂

[@SamsTrains]

haha!! ;D

[@joshuadell3279]

Love them all

[@SamsTrains]

Me too :3

[@tomlikestrains4071]

Oh dear, the bogie in the thumbnail does seem to have come of the tracks! My favorite would have been the City's, but I do love the Q1's too!

[@SamsTrains]

haha very well spotted Tom - not many people saw that! Ooh yeah me too - tricky to choose!! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@scarey1985]

(4)8154 built Crewe, October 1942. spent most of its life around the north west/Merseyside

[@SamsTrains]

+Simon Carey Thanks very much for the info - duly noted! Cheers, Sam :)

[@jerry2357]

I thought you would concentrate on locos that served with the armed forces or are particularly associated with the wars, like the Q1. For WWI I would have gone with the NBR class J36 “Maude” (available from Hornby) which was a loco sent to France in WWI and later named after a general, maybe the GWR Dean Goods 0-6-0 (Mainline version available second hand on eBay), some of which were sent to France and the Great Central/ROD 2-8-0 (available from Bachman) which became the LNER class O4, quite a few of which were built for the Government for war service, and some of which were bought by the GWR and LNER after the war. For WWII, while I approve of the O1 and the Stanier 8F, I would also have included the WD Austerity 2-8-0 (available from Bachman), and the 0-6-0ST Hunslet Austerity (after the war the LNER J94). These were all also used by the War Department.

[@SamsTrains]

I didn't really have enough suitable locos for that at the time - these days I could definitely do that! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@W0wzersNumber1337]

The BR 8F looks almost like the Black-5 4-6-0, also produced by stanier.

[@SamsTrains]

Yeah it does - you can definitely tell they were designed by the same guy! Cheers, Sam :)

[@tanktimeboomtime3507]

The one on the the right on the thumbnail is actually Neville 😱

[@SamsTrains]

Yeah that's right - though he looks very different all weathered up of course :3 Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@Alexander-wq8nh]

The B12 is still in LNER liver as NE was one of their war liveries

[@SamsTrains]

Ah yeah, I remember someone else telling me that too - thanks for the info! All the best, Sam :)

[@Heroduothecomedian]

that B12 looks a lot like the train James should be based on even though it not.it even in James's pre sodor colors and wheel configuration to.it a beautiful looking tender engine

[@SamsTrains]

Ahh really?? That's pretty cool - I don't think I've ever seen a picture of the real James - I'll have to look that up! Cheers, Sam :)

[@victoriantimes4522]

Great world war trains mate it’s all great I also love the WW1 British Ambulance Train it’s my Favorite. Spencer was in WW2 wow....

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks a lot mate - ooh yeah, I do love that Ambulance train, is'a a great set! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@Chris9017]

Love the Q1 and City Class:)

[@SamsTrains]

Me too - they're awesome aren't they?? :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@Chris9017]

Sam'sTrains most definitely!!!! They’re very unique locomotives. I find the Bulleid Q1 to be a very cool looking locomotive and I have a huge soft spot for the City Class 4-4-0, so I had to pick those 2 as my favorite :)

[@dthapa5903]

suggested intro : sam's war trains

[@comradeopthomasthehedgehog]

What about the E2 or Thomas? The E2 Class locomotives were built before and during World War I.

[@SamsTrains]

Yeah they would have been great it this too - I might have to do another war trains session soon! :D Cheers, Sam :)

[@lazertrain9326]

I lovvvvvvve the Q1. I 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 your videos !

[@SamsTrains]

I do too - and thanks so much!! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@LukeThomasFilmReviews]

The Q1 is at the NRM in York! 👍

[@SamsTrains]

Absolutely! I've seen her there - she's so impressive! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@LukeThomasFilmReviews]

Sam'sTrains have you been to the NRM in York?

[@williamhawkes7437]

It seems that 48154 was made in 1940 by Beyer Peacock & Co. and weighed in at 72 tonnes. Oddly though her boiler pressure was relatively low at 225lb/sq.... an interesting Loco!

[@SamsTrains]

Ah very interesting - I'll have to read up some more on that! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@michaelschultz5127]

A lot of short lines did that by using freight and coachs cars in the USA.

[@SamsTrains]

Ooh interesting - I didn't know that!¬ :O Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@russellsmith1060]

where did you get that cool kit-kat covered van wagon

[@SamsTrains]

I found that one on Ebay - they do turn up from time to time! All the best, Sam :)

[@SimonLivertonCentral]

Very nice session and theme Sam, I think I have a lot of the same locos. Was the 8F a little noisy, or was it my old ears. ..Simon

[@SamsTrains]

+Liverton -Simon Thanks a lot mate! And yeah, the 8F is pretty noisy, and I'm not too sure why, she seems nice and smooth despite it though! Cheers, Sam :)

[@lewisshields2701]

Hi Sam, Cool video depicting the war in Britain. you run some lovely locos today especially the 3700 class (my favourite loco of all time) and the 8F. poor Gadwall but not all of her was lost, her tender was repaired at Doncaster and given to a rebuilt P2. Sam could you maybe do a video like Chambs 123 Wrenn video where the viewers got to pick a loco to see, you could do this as a running day. Cheers Mate cool video!, Lewis:D

[@SamsTrains]

+Lewis Shields Thanks a lot for your comment - glad you liked seeing the City of Birmingham, they are fab! That's cool about Gadwall's tender too, I never knew that! And yeah, my 'Winter' running days were all picked by viewers, but I'll definitely do something like it again! Cheers mare, Sam :)

[@lewisshields2701]

Sam'sTrains Thanks I can not pick any locos because I haven't got Facebook but could you do it in the comments next as well. Cheers mate. Lewis:)

[@SamsTrains]

Yeah no problem mate, you could have made requests any way you like - I think all of them came from comments anyway! Cheers, Sam :)

[@lewisshields2701]

Sam'sTrains all right thanks Sam. Thanks, Lewis :D

[@lukenoble3319]

Great video! Nice to give it a theme! Could you please do a video on express passenger and express freight for me. I think it would be a very interesting video and many people would enjoy it. : )

[@SamsTrains]

+Luke Noble Thank you very much, and for the suggestion! I've done lots of videos like that - the last ones were in January - called winter express trains, and winter goods! Cheers, Sam :)

Sam'sTrains I just bought the Duke of Gloucester 71000 train set. It's my first. I always wanted but never got, an electric train set. I did however have a tiny train that had no power except for pulling it along by hand and I remember how smooth and beautifully built it was. I should have done this years ago! At first I thought it's silly at my age (past my 50s) but older guys than me enjoy them. I love the first black one you showed that looked weathered. More realistic imho. My train hasn't arrived yet ( realistic eh? lol) and I'm as excited as a little boy again. 😀 There's a great video on you tube of the footplate of the Duke of Gloucester and the driver gives a running commentary as he operates the train's controls. The whistle sounds fantastic! All the best.

[@emilycurtis2138]

Are you running dc or dcc

Hi! I run a mixture of both - I depending on the loco I run, I connect either the DC or DCC controller to whichever track it's on - I'd say it's 85% DC though! Thanks for watching, Sam :)

hi Sam. do DCC locos run well on DC or not. thanks h

[@SamsTrains]

Hi mate, yeah generally they're fine - though it depends on the controller! Modern Hornby controllers, yes fine! Old controllers, I personally wouldn't - it's risky - and that includes the Hornby one with the red knob! Which controller will you be using?? :) All the best, Sam :)

[@hstrains8053]

Maybe the HM2000 or the cheap analogue controller cause that does the job
