HORNBY | Ridiculously Railroad!

[@gordonhanning476]

Railroad is definitely the best way to get youngsters involved in the hobby

[@modelrailwaynoob]

...and people that cannot afford the better detailed models. There should be something for everyone's pocket.

[@hollyhillrc]

I liked the heavier music that you originally used that was shown on your TV program. But I understand that not everyone is a metal head 😎, and this is a good comprise that will appeal to a wider audience 🙂👍👍

[@odenviking]

Nice locos from a less expansive train model range. You do not have to shell out a lot of money that you other wise have to for a similar loco. The models are nicely decorated and they have a expansive feel and a robust constuction. Again Hornby have hit the mark.

[@j.k.hauser5492]

One of my first Hornby locomotives was the Deisel Freight Pack Peart Industries No. 6 and I would highly recommend it to anyone starting in OO scale or with Hornby products.

[@L0rdslashstab]

I like that you can still see all the crap, cardboard boxes and tool boxes in the background in the rest of the store room they filmed in as a shed or loft full of boxes and tools in the natural environment of the train set XD I really want to buy the flying Scotsman set now but I'de only get a few days to play with it till I start in the army 😭

[@welshrails]

I love the shots of the trains idle though. Never seen a shot like it

[@richardswiderski4985]

Great video Railroad is a good alternative to the dearer models for those who do not want to much fiddly parts.Love them and the more detail ones.They all have a part to play on a model layout.Thamk you Hornby.

[@Flymochairman1]

Roll on Hornby Railroad! They are aimed at being fun and they are. I've got Hornby kit from the 70's and 80's and the Railroad Range fits right in. I will say the newer kit I have(Hornby Railroad, mainly) runs a lot better than the now aging 'First Trainset' stuff, as is to be expected. I hope to see the range widen with the better detail but it's not worth having it if it's just going to get damaged. They're also 'starters' or 'Bases' for some more ornate 'scratch-work' as is desired. Great stuff as long as the price reflects the differences. Cheers!

You legend. :)

[@bennickss]

Ridiculously railroad- and ridiculously expensive!

[@lordluffington2351]

Much better than the one on the tv show!

[@pheonix__kit-kat897]

I think railroad is great for getting kids into the hobby as the Thomas the tank and the flight of the mallard were first 2 sets i got as a kid and I’ve collected Hornby models ever since

[@modelrailwaynoob]

I bought this crane to paint into a military crane for a breakdown train. It looks fab.

[@modelrailwaynoob]

PS I buy some of the locos and put sound and lights into them.

[@bentullett6068]

I do like the items in the Railroad range. I do have that crane but it's in the BR black livery and weather and I think only designed as a limited run for Hawkins bizzar I think? P.S I would love to see that layout track plan in a future edition of Hornby track plans, I have a 009 plan for the top section.

[@bendavis6121]

Great video Hornby I think the Railroad is a great range as it allowed kids to get in the hobby. With not worrying about breaking the detailing on super detailing trains. As I'm looking at one of the Railroad packs want is R60047 Triple Wagon Pack, Mixed Wagons with Brake Van. Hornby, do you know where R60047 is coming out? And Have Hornby fix the light bleed problems with their LSWR, 4 Wheel Coach,?

[@tonyroe2299]

Will the wagons within the Diesel Freight Train Pack be available separately?

[@johnd8892]

What would be the total cost of this cheap railroad set shown here? Or even the total RRP of all the Hornby items shown.

[@petersmith4455]

why have you stopped the railroad 08, ?, i still have one in Anglia Railways colours and a Stolt Industries 08 along with 2 Triang 08s

[@User-3O3]

Sounds great. I've never seen one in AR livery. It seems they have also discontinued the Class 6 from the RR range which I also think is a pity.

[@petersmith4455]

@@User-3O3 look on ebay, sometimes they come up for sale, good luck

[@brucewoods9377]

Yes! I would love to get an 08 class

[@Easternspotteralfie]

Will you be doing any hornby railroad modern image wagons?

[@RBXTrains]

"designed to be less easily damaged" yes, that's exactly what lima thought when they made them originally...

[@alanrobertson9790]

Today I marvel at how easy Lima are to maintain. Modern locos are not only very expensive but have far more faults. Have about 3 with faulty motors, another with fractured bogies, several that are noisy. Only ever had one faulty Lima. Lima 60, 59/66, 73 and 156 are their best. I suppose we would have to stop buying for manufacturers to take reliability seriously but we don't.

[@Jimyjames73]

@ 1:10 - I have got 2 older version of that Loco - Lima Versions - 1980's - this 1 must be a newer up-dated version!!! 🙂🚂🚂🚂

[@andrewpadkins]

Shame the freight train stalled slightly at the end of the video.

[@lapiswake6583]

When are we gonna get a super detailed LMS 2P or class 06? Also a caledonian 264 and a GWR 101 would be nice, although I do realise the 101 was a singular locomotive.

[@PuuberZ]

I only buy the Railroad range now. No way I'm paying £180 for a train with lots of fiddly bits that fall off. The Railroad D49 and Class 73 being my favourites. Post some footage of the Class 20 please.

[@fabatron-gr5ed]

Hi

[@DavidRobinson-rj2sp]

Looking at the breakdown crane it is so 'toy trainset'. Yes it's Railroad but the R-T-R market is crying out for an accurate model of a Cowans Sheldon steam crane to rival/complement Bachmann's stunning Ransomes & Rapier yet there seems to be a reluctance to produce decent Engineer's Trains. A good business model is to indentify voids and fill them. Serious modellers are willing to shell out the readies as Bachmann has proven with their Ransomes & Rapier nearing two hundered and fifty quid and Bachmann's crane is getting harder and harder to get hold of as demonstrated by major retailers no longer discounting them.

[@petersmith4455]

why not get the bachmann crane or a hornby-dublo crane,just as good, to tool up costs money,bachmann have done this, so why should hornby bother ? at the end of the day they are all toy trains even if you pay 150 pounds for a loco

[@DavidRobinson-rj2sp]

@@petersmith4455: What an asinine comment. I have a Bachmann Ransomes which is NOT a Cowans Sheldon. They are quite different. You dispaly a considerable lack of knowledge on railway matters so I should stick to maybe Noddy.

[@User-3O3]

Doesn't the Bachmann crane cost something like 200 quid? I also believe it's not even operational.

[@DavidRobinson-rj2sp]

@@User-3O3Selling for around just under 250 quid at the moment, but it is operational.

[@petersmith4455]

@@DavidRobinson-rj2sp yes, i guess so.maybe top cat and yogi bear.when i worked for the railway only saw one crane in west ealing when a class 52 came off the track in 1974,think it came from old oak common dept.it was a steam crane

[@Sanity800]

Original heavy hitting soundtrack, as per Yesterday channel tv programme was much better, more impact.

[@keithlemon457]

Why on the suspension bridge have the overhead wire support loops been fitted when there is no wire no apparently any locos that have an overhead pick-up ? What's the point............

[@johnd8892]

When the bridge was tooled up in 1963 by Triang they had an extensive range of overhead catenary wires and masts with several Locomotives that could be powered independently by the overhead wiring. A puzzle that as the full size railways have moved much more widely to electrification models have moved away from it. Producing working overhead electrification seems to be too hard for Hornby and other UK manufacturers and even exhibition layouts.

[@jprp999]

It would be nice if they would stop releasing non prototypical models and liveries or at least state that they are so on the advertising and packaging, i'm sure many are dismayed when they realise half their collection is more toy than model.

[@gopivasudevan9593]

The class 37 hornby still looks like the old one . Not worth the retail value . Better buy used models for half that
