I've just shared this video with my mate over in Quebec Canada. He's English not French. Each year, he and his wife set up a little Lilliput type village Christmas scene with many illuminated buildings and a loop of 00 track around it. He originally purchased the Hornby Christmas train set using one of those really old revamped Tri-ang deisel shunter locos. This gave me an idea for secretly getting them something much better. His wife's maiden name is Earle and I noticed the B2 had just been released with a blue one called The Earl. Hornby had also advertised a cute Christmasy looking W4 in dark red called Daphne in Tytherington Stone Co purple ? He had the choice of either, not both. Luckily he chose The Earl B2, because at time of posting (Dec 2021), the W4 Daphne still hasn't been released. I've ordered it anyway for myself. Also by chance, Oxford Rail released a private owner coal wagon as T. Bowler, so as my mate's surname is Bowler, I slipped that in the package to him unannounced. He was advised to keep the package unopened and hidden from his wife until the village was again set up ready for Christmas 2021. It now has been and their feedback has been very positive, with the B2 being very powerful for its size he says. The T.Bowler wagon however is a bit light and derails, so he's going to add some sparkly stones as a load to give it some weight

Beautiful B2 Peckett! I've never seen a Peckett 0-6-0ST before. I've seen a 0-4-0ST W4 peckett but not a 0-6-0 Peckett. This has got to be one of the best Hornby tank engines they got! :) BTW, congrats on 50K subs! I hope you get to 100K subs soon! :D

[@memahselfni]

I love this tank! Honestly it's probably my favorite British tank now too. I saw the thumbnail in my recommendations and had to watch immediately. Also I wanted to thank you for your recommendation for paper buildings. After you said you liked your paper models, I downloaded some kits and my layout has so much more life to it now. Two cabins, a loading dock, and a country store all for five dollars at the print shop. I appreciate it!

[@SamsTrains]

I love it too - it's definitely one of mine now also!! Great to hear you got on well with the paper buildings - I love mine! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@donsharpe5786]

Well done for reaching 50,000. Peckett have a similar 0-6-0T at Bristol Docks, which is an FA class with a shorter chimney. The brass maker's plate is modelled well. I have an original Peckett plate from 1941. The 0-6-0s were a heavier duty than the 0-4-0s. Some docks and collieries needed stronger engines because of slopes or heavier loads. Some had quite long link lines and needed a better locomotive to pull them. Another excellent review that makes me covet the model.

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks very much Don - oh wow, it'd be nice if Hornby did that one at some point then, thanks for the info! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@RockyRailroadProductions_B0SS]

Ooh yes! These turned out excellent, Hornby outdid themselves on this little loco. Congrats on 50,000 subs!

Thanks mate, they certainly did!! APpreciate your kind support too my friend!! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@MikuJess]

Not entirely related to the video, but I subscribe to several brass players on youtube, one of whom collects and reviews many unusual instruments. When I opened this video in a new tab I immediately got a phone call, forgot about this, came back to the computer, and the title in the tab was perfectly cut off to "Brand New Horn..." so I was very confused when I clicked back to it and heard the sound of the intro trains! Again, sorry for not being relevant but it made me smile on a troubled day just like your videos themselves do, hopefully I can pass a smile on for once. Cheers, Sam! Congrats on the milestone! I may be a recent addition but I plan on sticking around! - an American fan of British steam

haha that's pretty weird stuff actually, lol!! ;D Thanks a lot for the support mate! Cheers, Sam :)

[@hughmunford7297]

Very good work once again Sam, and congrats on 50K, you deserve them all and more. I think this is a wonderful little engine: definitely a must have for an industrial layout. However, I still think the LNER N7 by Oxford Rail is the best: it just has such a wow factor to it and I adore its history and looks. Keep up the good work!

Hi Sam today I have decided to give my triang hornby pannier tank a little bit running session and I have created a scene where the pannier tank is stuck near the signal box on my straight piece of track due to one of her crank pins (the screw that holds the piston rods ) coming off leaving the rod link rod hanging by on pin at my fowler Steam wagon has come to the panniers rescue but until then The pannier tank is going meaning the siding is blocked so my 4mt is well and truly stuck in the siding which means that trains services will be delayed for quite some time (no Pannier tanks were hurt/damaged during the making of this scene)

[@miked6335]

Hi Sam, Your mention of no detail pack and the price has me wondering if an assumption I had made was incorrect. I thought the reason for detail packs was that the small bits would break off when the locos were boxed at the factory. For that reason (and my shabby gluing technique) I've never applied the small details so that I could re-box my locos. Now you have me thinking that maybe the manufacturers include detail packs so they do not have to pay the assemblers for the time it would take to apply those small bits. Fun video as always!

[@SamsTrains]

It certainly can be for that reason Mike - or also because certain details can interfere with the running of the model (vacuum hoses, screw link couplings etc)! But yes - from some manufacturers at least - I feel it has to be a cost-cutting measure at times! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

The first thing that hit me when you took the model out of the box is that the model looks more yellow than the image on the box I really like how this locomotive looks, though! I was expecting this model to rank higher than the N7, similar to what the 4-wheel peckett did last year on your channel!

[@Simon-Davis]

I absolutely adore the Pecketts. I think for outright cute factor the W4 is still my favourite by a long way, but the B2 is certainly more forgiving of pointwork with its larger wheelbase, and that makes it a much more joyous model to operate. I really can't wait for the NCB version to arrive!

Thanks very much Ben mate! Ahh sorry about all that - I'm looking forward to the Ruston though! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@delaray7]

Nice model. I prefer the 0-6-0 to the 0-4-0. Especially with all wheel pick-up. So it's all about crossing the points.

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks very much Ray - me too, definitely a better model for that! Happy New Year, Sam :)

[@harrymartin3747]

I think rails of Sheffield are having a sale of this new peckett for £69.50 and keep up the good work and videos sam and I glad you have reach 50k subscribers because I have been subscribed to you’re channel for 3 years

[@SamsTrains]

If only they were Harry - they're still about £100 at Rails too! You're very kind mate, thanks for all the support! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@harrymartin3747]

Sam'sTrains thanks Sam would be great I think it might have been the peckett W4 instead

[@2112pk]

I've been tempted by this ever since the hornby January announcements, i love small industrials, especially steam locos with wasp-stripes. looks like I'll be getting one for certain at one point or another. I hope hornby brings out more pecketts, I've seen quite a few liveries of them that I'd love to have.

[@SamsTrains]

Glad to hear that mate - I can highly recommend this one, don't think you'll be disappointed! For sure, it'd be awesome to see even more! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@cameronmcilroy8261]

Another brilliant addition to the railway! She's a beauty alright

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks very much Cameron - I agree, she certainly is! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@BowmakerFox]

Just got my b2. Can't wait to run it! Might double head it with my W4

[@SamsTrains]

Ooh fantastic - really hope you enjoy it mate! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@Steamjammer]

Not sure that I'm a fan of that particular shade of green, but a stunning model nonetheless. Would have been a struggle to resist a B2, but I'm waiting on one of the October released W4s, Lady Edith, as she worked very locally to where I live. Well done on the 50k, that's quite a milestone. On the upside, if Sherwood's out of the top five by year end, that means you've had at least two more really good engines.

[@SamsTrains]

It definitely is pretty unusual - though there are some nice other options! Ahh of course - those do look superb! Appreciate it mate, thanks for the support! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@theflyingshunter]

The one thing that catches me on this model is the pistons and wheels Also the box next to the smoke box is that the sand box

[@SamsTrains]

Yeah I agree - they are very eye catching! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@mariebcfhs9491]

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks so much mate - I hope you enjoy what's still to come!! Yeah of course, all of Hornby's stuff is available in Wales! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

The Met had an 0-6-0 Peckett. Lined out in Metropolitan livery to boot.

[@connorshorten6306]

Ooh the big 50k. I like the look of the locomotive

[@SamsTrains]

I know Connor - I'm amazed! Me too - it's epic isn't it! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks very much for that mate - you've been around for ages, that's true!! :O Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@ChaoticCaroline24]

Well that is an absolutely amazing model, Hornby really hit it out of the park here. It also really complements your layout, and I love the J83 on the turn table in the running session. ;)

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks mate, yeah they really did - amazing stuff!! Really glad you liked seeing the layout and the lovely J83! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@williamhawkes7437]

For me it’s still the oxford rail N7 that’s the best, but that’s just me, I’d like the London Coal Board version in royal blue!

[@SamsTrains]

That's fair enough William - that one was absolutely superb!! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@laaeeh]

Beautiful! I love the detail and the way it runs

[@SamsTrains]
