Hatton's Genesis Coaches

[@dialwright]

I really like your style and quality of presentation - I've 'liked and subscribed', therefore. (The evidence of the level of your modelling is encouraging, as well.) Thank you very much for sharing. All the best, Mike.

Excellent video. The guard's lookout with the two lenses is called a "ducket" for future reference. If I may make a suggestion with regard to rolling stock; do a free rolling test on a flat section of track. I saw a review of these on not-so-level track and he had trouble getting it to stay still (lol) because they are VERY free-rolling. Very much like your presentation style and have subscribed accordingly. All the best, Andy.

Good idea on the free roll test. That is a problem with new models as they often now come with free rolling wheels. That can make it difficult to couple up since they will roll away as soon as the coupler faces touch. Add to that many UK wagons are very light weight and it can be even more difficult fir shunting work. More videos coming as soon as I get time for uploading them.

Thanks for the interesting review. I've now bought 2 Southern 6 wheel coaches and they really look great.

Glad you like them!

Thank you for an excellent video. A couple of weeks ago my three LB&SCR coaches arrived and they looked fantastic. Performance was great on my layout, so good that I am purchasing two more units. I installed 24 figures easily in the coaches and found that Preiser HO figures look the best and some need a little modification depending on the figure. When the lights are on, WOW what a look. As for the online instruction information I dropped the word "instructions" and it took me to the web site that is Project Genesis and the brake down of all information related is great, But there is in fact no Instruction page, I guess the paper instructions states it all.

Peter-yes they are excellent models, well worth the wait. I git an email back from Hattons saying the page they listed was only set for viewing by UK based customers and they needed to update the settings. Interestingly when I did manage to access the page, it was simply a repeat of the printed sheet, word fir word, including the website link!

@@UKModelRailways Thank you, good to know.

A very good presentation and makes me even more excited about the SECR version of this stock that, I'm told, should be despatched 2nd week of December. The video also confirmed my dislike of the sound that is provided for model steam locos, to my ears it has none of the drama or feel of the real thing. Maybe there does exist better versions but I can happily give it a miss.

Itmis difficult to get enough bass and volume out of a small loco installation. Part of the magic of a steam loco is the hiss of the steam and the blast of the exhaust felt trackside.
