17:01 The issue there is the couplings - you can see the couplings bang into the point and click. My Hornby LMS Blood & Custard coaches are the same

1. Use a track gauging tool to re gauge the wheelsets 2. Lightly lubricate the pin point axles 3.check the tightness of the bogie screws, loosen if needed

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks Greg - very good tips! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@Zebrails]

Sam, remove the axles, and take a pencil and rub the point of it onto the axle ends and where the axles sit in the bolster. It's graphite and works as a dry lube. Put the axles back in. Then, do the hill run test again. John Canada

Hi Sam 'Black bogies' were / are a BR code for goods stock bogies up graded to be able to run at passenger train speeds, improved springs, brakes, grease boxes etc. Those 'black' warwells with decking were the type used on 'Motorrail' trains in the 1970s and early 80's. Motorrail was a service where you could drive to certain mainline stations, your car would be loaded onto the warwells via a special loading ramp. The passengers would then travel in normal coaches (Mk1 and 2's in blue / grey inter city livery) with the warwells with the cars on marshaled at the rear of the train. When you got to your destination you got out, retrieved yer car and drove away. These services were popular in the summer, serving tourist spots like Devon & Cornwall, The Lake Distict, The Scottish highlands etc. Maybe you could run a motorrail train at some point. Any more powerful BR diesel would be accurate, western, 40, peak, 47, 50. And blu-tack a couple of Oxford rail cars to the warwells then Robert would indeed be your mothers brother.

[@SamsTrains]

Many thanks for the info Jon - really appreciate you always sharing! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@GaryNumeroUno]

Hi Mukka, does the deck unclip or did you have to unscrew it? You made your... 'point' with the points! Thanks for the video... cheers from Oz.

[@SamsTrains]

haha thanks William, I was pleased with that one, lol! ;D

[@TATICMOOR]

Another great review and testing of these Warwell's. I would recommend checking the back to back on all loco and wagon stock and re-gauge if necessary. To aid the wagon flow if the wheel sets are causing fraction, is to dab a droplet of oil onto the bearings. They are a better version of the model for detail (nice if chains supplied in detailing pack) and the variations Hatton's have made them in is very good too, so top marks for the options of livery etc.

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks a lot John, yes I may well do that - but as I say, I think the points are mostly to blame here! Superb work from hatton's no doubt about it! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@TomPrickVixen]

Yes i do met/have issues with similar (cheap) points! And the Hornby ones with the huge plastic crossing part (specially on curved points) are prone to wear, making locos and rolling-stock derail. The wear of the "frog" and (specially) the "guard rails" is to blame. I wonder if these wagons would work with close-coupling?

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks Tom for sharing that - I've certainly heard a lot about that before too! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@Zack_The_Fox]

Hello Sam. How's your day? I've been trying to start a model train collection, which hasn't been easy since model trains are so expensive, and I have you to thank for that. Your videos are the reason I've been trying to get more model trains. Whether it's engines or rolling stock. I actually ordered the Hornby Smokey Joe online recently and I can't wait to get it.

[@SamsTrains]

I'm great thanks Zack - yes it's not easy, but keep looking mate! Lovely to hear that - good luck! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@OlivierGabin]

Good evening Sam ! Thanks for your review of the Hattons Warwells. I have noted two important informations you gave me : 1) the Warwells are excellent wagons, you can buy some, it's a good deal 2) the 0-4-4 Wainwright H Class by Hornby is a lemon, don't buy. Thanks to warn me, I had it on my shoping list. Scrubbed right now, I have my dose of SR problem locomotives : the Oxford Rail Adams Radial, replacec by an Hornby, an old Q1 class with coupling rods problems (the fixation pins comes loose when running and the coupling rod falls away, I have planned to replace the wheels when I would find some), and the famous Hornby S15 with the temperemental motor... Seems SR locomotives and Hornby does not goes nice toghether... I don"t want to have a fourth problematic SR engine on my roster, three, that's enough for me. Well... One positive thing, I really loves those warwells. I will buy one or two as soon as possible.

[@SamsTrains]

Many thanks Oliver - yes it certainly is a lemon - nothing but trouble with mine!! :( Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@leilacentral1883]

What a pack! Definitely some good value right there. Them warwells are a really nice piece of rolling stock. Think I need these in my life. Clint

[@raymondleggs5508]

Diamond/Archbar trucks (Bogies) were known to suddenly develop fatigue cracks in the cross pieces and would fail suddenly especially in the wintertime, and/or the cars/ wagons were poorly maintained. Thus they were banned for interchange service in the US

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks a lot for the info Raymond, very interesting stuff! Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@cadetkohr5508]

I don't know about in the UK but over here in the US we still use Warwell cars for construction eqiupment all the time, such as front-loaders, backhoes, crane trucks, stuff like that. Most of them don't have the deck conversion like yours.

[@SamsTrains]

That's awesome - thanks a lot for sharing, didn't know that! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@cadetkohr5508]

@@SamsTrains No problem, happy to help! And thanks from the Underground!

[@mgr_video_productions]

Nice. In North American, these kind of freight cars are called depressed flat cars that usually carry high and wide loads like electrical transformers.

[@sptco100]

I see the derailing at the switch was caused by the couplers hanging to low. Note how they pop up after smacking the rail.

[@fredstrains789]

Sam look at your video the new Hatton's Warwell the coupler appears to be ridding about 1mm lower than the Warwell with the tank on it. It appears to hit the track on the switch and then derails the car.

[@SamsTrains]

Yes you're absolutely right - I can see that too now - can't believe I didn't notice it at the time! I will investigate! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@TheScotsalan]

From watching these videos, I am positive that many of the designers and staff in these companies dont actually play with trains 😂

[@johnrowbotham9757]

Hi I had a similar problem with a set of hornby points on my father in laws layout. It's hard to see but there is a slight kink in the molding where the track guide ends if that makes sense. A small file sorted his. Hope this helps.

[@SamsTrains]

Yeah it's very strange isn't it? I think Hornby's points are known for being a bit dodgy! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@martinpattison4018]

Sam, those WarWells can carry 26 tons. It is printed on the sidebar. It would have been nice to see the platform removal and refitment. As far as the free-running goes, the Oxford Rail has been running before and the Hattons haven't, so a little unfair there. if they are Pin-Point Axles, then some running in is required. Maybe you can do a Retest at some later date. (They are Black on the underside.) Martin. Thailand.

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks Martin - I learned that once I watched the footage - they were too small to read! The platform removal wasn't pretty - and I notice they didn't sit quite right after I'd done it - probably not really recommended, but can be done as I say! I've never known wagon bearings to get looser with running in - in fact the opposite is true - when new, there's no debris to cause friction. After some running, the bearings can become dirty or worn causing them to run worse! The Oxford rolled just as far when I did the same test from new. Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@skuula]

Sam, you wonder what the weight restriction of the decks would be? It's actually readably printed on them :) Does anyone know if the prototype would work with both vacuum and air brakes? Because there seems to be a huge vertical vacuum cylinder and also an air tank underneath the cars.

[@SamsTrains]

Yes you're right - I couldn't read that when I was there in person! I'm not sure of that mate - I'm no expert! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

Hi Sam, Nice to see the Hatton’s packaging is like a previous Prime Minister... strong and stable. Phew. It’s not like you to go out and spend money on Warwell’s. What we need is more wars, then we can have more drab war-time locomotives and drab war-time rolling stock. And with more wars we could weather the Warwell’s with some Humbrol “Dried Blood” or fun-time “Brains & Guts”. Yay. Numerous opportunities there then. Jim

[@SamsTrains]

haha thanks Jim, it certainly is! Ooh I like that idea - Halloween suggestion perhaps? Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@redversb2347]

I was lucky enough to grab a brand new Hattons Warwell on facebook marketplace - different version to this - for a bargain price and was really amazed at the quality feel especially with the diecast.

[@SamsTrains]

That's fantastic - great to hear you got one too and are happy! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@brianartillery]

They're fascinating wagons. Were they replaced by the 'Weltrol' wagon? I had a Triang one in the early 1970's, and that was a big ugly beast. I was happy simply to have my 08 Shunter push it around. Have you got any 'Nuclear Flask' wagons in your collection? I have fond memories of these slightly sinister things, as they ran right past my primary school, back in the 1970's, on their way to and from the old Sizewell 'Magnox' Atomic power station.

[@SamsTrains]

Ahh yeah I've seen those - not sure what the story of those was to be honest! No flask wagons as of yet, but maybe one day!! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

great review ! - exquisite model from Hattons - they have done a superb job - 22:02 the whole train looks fantastic - absolutely love the look of the loco on the issue of points I have decided where ever possible to replace short or medium ones with long ones - perhaps only on my main lines because of expense - but I think with short points (and I only ever use electrofrog ) a lot of my trains/wagons/coaches could derail at anytime I just can not trust them 100%

[@geoffbuck6865]

At 14:59 there was noticeable hunting on the Oxford which I didn't like compared to the more solid coupling dynamics on the Hattens which I thought looked more realistic. I guess this is due to the lack of damping resulting from the Oxford's low friction running gear ? I know absolutely nothing about model railways so I apologise if the comment is fatuous!!!

[@SamsTrains]

Yes I can see what you mean - it could be that the two manufacturers mounted couplings differently - one mounted to the chassis, the other mounted to the bogies! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@greg_mmm]

I suppose this question works with rolling stock as well as locos, Which would you prefer? Plastic models that are well detailed and run very well but may not have great mechanisms and cost say £100, or have slightly less detailed diecast models with great mechanisms but can be finicky at times for around £200?? As always, great reviews!

[@SamsTrains]

I'd honestly say both Greg - there'd be huge value in both types of design... as long as the price always matches the model and it's features, I'd be up for anything! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

Amazing review overall and it’s nice to see that we’re getting positive again after what happened when you reviewed that horrible derailing Bachmann train set on Saturday I believe.

gauge is 16.5, you cant judge by the inside measurement as the wheels could be different thicknesses

[@SamsTrains]

Yes you're right actually - I didn't think of that - will try again! My measuring did reveal the inconsistency though - I collected quite a range of values from different axles! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@jamesdunloptrains]

Awesome video today Sam loved the wagon might get one

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks a lot James - I can recommend it! :D Cheers, Sam :)

[@jamesdunloptrains]

Sam'sTrains cool

[@Jordan-sj5ky]

How come u didn't do it as a bundle

[@SamsTrains]

I wanted to do them separately - the loco deserves it's own video! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@Jordan-sj5ky]

Oo9 I'm evicted now

He may have got the idea of that improved engine green livery from his highland railway locomotives

[@SamsTrains]

haha interesting though! ;D

[@slowmosounds8947]

Nice model you got there sam i like it so much!

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks mate - I love these too! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@catherineday2292]

My parents got me a Murphy models 071 class yesterday for my birthday

[@SamsTrains]

Ooh awesome - how was that?!? :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@Deuce_and_a_half]

11:27 haha Sam the answer to your question is in the previous shot (11:13). Authorised to carry up to 50 tons. 😄

[@SamsTrains]

haha yeah you're right - I couldn't read that with the naked eye - I learned the answer while I was editing this! xD Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@tinplategeek1058]

Sam, the side label showing the colour scheme as "BR black" must be a labelling mistake. Even though the photo on the Hattons' site of the box says Black, their description clearly states Brown. I guess someone at Hattons didn't check the box labels.

[@SamsTrains]

Yeah you're absolutely right - it was correct in the listing, just not on the box! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@garyjones6438]

Great video Sam, what is your all time favourite Steam Loco , Diesel Loco and your Favourite best train set for value and detail to date, Thanks Gary

[@SamsTrains]

Ooh tricky! Probably the Bachmann C1 atlantic or Hornby B12 for me! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@o-tuathail]

Oh my goodness, great video once again, Sam! Keep up the good work!

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks so much mate!! :D

[@jamestalbot4900]

Fair play to you for leaving the drop in there Sam 😂. I got the same bundle a few weeks ago, it’s a good deal isn’t it! I might try and modify mine back to tank carrying ones, the deck is easy to remove.

[@SamsTrains]

haha thanks mate! Yeah it's such a great deal - I've had so much fun with these already!! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@theretrocrowe]

1:43 Made me laugh a lot more than it should have lol

[@SamsTrains]

haha!! xD

[@DmanOfficial15]

21:16 When I saw that, I instantly thought of the Scottish twins(Donald and Douglas)

[@SamsTrains]

haha me too!! xD

[@lewishughes8541]

I like the idea of the train packs but there isnt enough variety in the locos for me

[@SamsTrains]

That's fair enough Lewis, thanks for the comment! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@gtptvanbuuren3795]

It's the couplings jagging on the points causing the derailments

[@SamsTrains]

You're right - I didn't notice that during filming! :O Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@crazywelshman5909]
