Thanks for another great video Sam, I ordered one from Rails on the day that the 2020 range was launched. This would later be cancelled so I quickly found another more local retailer who also sells at at least a 10% discount. I’m pleased with my first pecket (it probably won’t be my last) for £98.98. I use my builders plate as a paper weight now. Thanks Eddie

Always fancied a Peckett - It was the 'Bristol' resin builders plate that sold this for me. ..Having a West Country misses, and fellow model railway enthusiast, this was a great shared birthday present. Also managed to get one for £96 so well below the 'normal' Peckett RRP.. so well pleased. .. Great review as ever.

I don't blame you Kevin - fantastic price for a fantastic model, hope you really enjoy it! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@stashyjon]

Nice loco Sam. If your interested 614 spent a couple of years as works shunter and demonstrator at Pecketts Bristol works before being sold to Colvilles steel works in Lanarkshire in Scotland. She survived in service until the early 1960's when The British Steel Corporation withdrew her. After a few years dumped in a siding she was brought for preservation and had several owners and is now 'plinthed' and non running at the Sittingbourne & Kemsley Light Railway in Kent, in a nice blue livery.

[@SamsTrains]

Duly noted on this Jon, thanks a lot for all the info! Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@tryffan-ddu009-layout9]

The resin builder's plate is, as you say, £10 piece of TAT. Swap it for a real copper chimney top or a real chrome hand rail. Superb review Sam. Bought one. Lovely.

[@modelrailwaynoob]

I bought this (my first Peckett) a few weeks ago but haven't opened the box yet. The same with four other locos! I am obsessed with grey locomotives and have two others.

I great wee loco released within the Hornby 100th Year Anniversary. I acquired my Limited Edition # 831/2000 model for £98.99 last week (Feb 5th) from Kernow Model Rail Centre. I just checked before typing this and they still have more than 10 in stock if you are looking one for yourself or as a gift. If you get one of the angled plastic plate stands, you could have your Peckett Plaque sitting out on display. Otherwise if you like a cuppa from your army mess kit mug, then this would be about the right size and shape to use as a coaster, lol. As for the loco a good review by you Sam as usual and I am pleased with the models livery printing, details and running.

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks a lot John - that sounds like a great deal, hope you enjoy yours!! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)

What a neat little loco we have here! Love the red and gold box it came in, not worried about the bulky builders plate though! It runs so well with just a 3 pole motor and no flywheel. If Hornby can do it then so can Bachmann. A very nice industrial loco. Hope you got my sad email I sent you earlier today via your Facebook page about my Southern Class T9 4-4-0 loco, Sam.

You need DAPOL range of plastic kits . Locos, waggons , structures and buildings . I built and painted all the ones for their new website . cheap to practice on .try a PUG to start with . Wales UK.

[@RHaenJarr]

@@fredtedstedman Just googled those. Wow, they're so cheap! Thanks for info! I love assembling my own models. And can I put an engine inside and make them run? Or are they just static? The wheels look plastic.

[@fredtedstedman]

@@RHaenJarr The range of kits goes back to the 60's when you could buy them (AIRFIX) in a little plastic bag , with the instructions stapled to the top , for 2 shillings or 10p. they are old and need a bit of care but with careful glueing you can make the wheels and motion move on a pug . people used to motorise them before the HORNBY ones were created , but I think it was rather complicated . Good luck , I have had many happy hours building the range . I sent my friend in Japan a Pug at christmas ( He is a Micro Modeller !) and he loved it .

I've really enjoyed this one Sam - infact, it might be one of my favourite reviews of yours yet 👍. Best model of the year so far lol 😂! It is a shame that some details aren't metal, or that they have been painted in a plasticy colour. I quite like the fact that they have included a certificate (I quite like showing them on display) & a builders plate - it is quite unusual, but I wish they had made a bracket on the back so you could hang it up! Other than that, I think it is a really good quality model and it performs well too. The packaging looks fab too. Thanks for this one! 👍

Bye for now basil.

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks a lot, overall no complaints with these - great quality! Thanks for sharing - I'd be interested in trying one of those! Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@Onthemainline]

Very good video mate, a really beautiful loco, worth the money I would say, some great detail. Stay safe :)

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks a lot mate, really glad you liked it, Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@bendavis6121]

Great review of the Peckett I would love if the white part got paint in black. As a think, it would make the model look better and then I was ordered it. Love super details 0-4-0 train as I order the Andrew Barclay ‘No.10’ in NCB lined black. But love the look of the R3702 Class W4 Peckett 0-4-0ST "Daphne" in Tytherington Stone Co. purple. But R3702 Class W4 Peckett 0-4-0ST "Daphne" in Tytherington Stone Co. purple was announced back in 2019 and hope we get it soon as I want to see a finished model and there if look good I will there put I order in for one. But keep safe Samstrains in these hard times.

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks Ben - ooh that would look good in black, good call! The NCB Barclay does look good - great choice! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@bendavis6121]

@@SamsTrains I got Hattons Originals Andrew Barclay ‘No.10’ in NCB lined black today and love it. I'm looking at Andrew Barclay No.3’ in Fina-lined blue hope to get it tomorrow and hope to see Hornby R3702 Class W4 Peckett 0-4-0ST "Daphne" in Tytherington Stone Co. purple and hope to see the finished model soon. But keep safe Sam'sTrains in these hard times.

[@Alpha-oo8]

You could use that builders plate as a coaster!

[@SamsTrains]

haha good idea!! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@Theoriginalborgy]

Love the video, I got the Forest No.1 Peckett for Christmas but the whistle is snapped off and missing ( waiting for a reply from Hornby USA, I'm in Canada) but it runs very nicely and crawlsover my Peco Medium points.

[@SamsTrains]

That's awesome Leigh, so sorry to hear about the whistle - they are very fragile things, I've found that myself. Hopefully they'll reply to you satisfactorily! Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@boblatzer]

Perhaps the disc is a platform to sit the loco on as a display on a desk.

[@SamsTrains]

Yeah maybe, I hadn't thought of that! ;D Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@gordonmcillroy455]

Please explain why sprung buffers are an issue? Most rollingstock dont have them and I dont see what they would add to the enjoyment of the running of a model

[@highbrookendmodelrailway]

Sprung buffers are a nice touch, it's just nice to have an extra, more realistic feature, even though they might not be functional when using traditional tension locks. If you modify the couplings to use magnets or close couplers, which are produced by other companies, then the buffers may actually spring back when coupling depending on the product used and how close the couplings go. It is a nice feature, even though it may not be used. Like a "roast chicken" setting on a microwave, you may not actually use it, but it's nice to have it there!

[@SamsTrains]

Absolutely - it's the same with any detail... ultimately pointless, but a representation of the real thing... so that's the point! I say such omissions should be reflected in the price, which is why I usually mention it! Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@lewiscartwright3609]

Hi Sam please can you do a running session with all of the pecketts you own ( Similar to the videos you made of trainspotting)

[@SamsTrains]

Great idea Lewis, that could make a cool video! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@thesassieststorkalive5614]

I am not too sure about the white smoke box but it’s a nice loco through and through

[@SamsTrains]

Yeah, it's odd isn't it? I think I'm sold on it though! ;D Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@phil36310]

Hi Sam, Very nice loco. Love it ! A bit hairy... but a fantastic performer and amazing puller even with the 3-pole motor. It just needs a 'stay alive' to cross the points on slow speed for aren't they shunters prototypical ? I would give this an overall 9/10. (You're a bit harsh here imho). Thanks for the nice review. Greetings,

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks a lot Filip - yes one of the hairiest locos I've ever seen! Sure, stay alive and DCC (space permitting) would do wonders for this! Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@ivovanzon164]

AFAIK below the photo colors is the scheme ordered by the customer. The white, gray and black are chalk mixed with various amounts of charcoal, and will be washed off with a steam cleaner before final delivery

[@SamsTrains]

Ahh very interesting - duly noted!! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@azuma7628]

Wow the TransPennine Express Class 68 is in stock at Hattons. Please get that Sam at £136 it's good value. I am sure you have heard great things about the Dapol Class 68s.

[@SamsTrains]

Ahh excellent - that does sound good, I would love to try one! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@paulpilkington1797]

I am lucky enough to have number 200 in the production run.. Not run it yet even though I've had mine for three weeks. Nice for the money

[@SamsTrains]

Ooh that's a nice round number - hope it works well for you! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@sturmtigerking4263]

Oh wow another Peckett. Great review. Its nice to see a few small locos from time to time. A hair wrapped around the wheel?!

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks very much - and yep, vile isn't it?! Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@martinpattison4018]

A nice review, Sam. If someone can install a Sound Chip and a Stay Alive to a Ruston and take away the Conflat wagon off, then I am sure you could fit a Stay Alive. Martin. (Thailand)

[@SamsTrains]

You're right Martin, though I'd never be able to do it myself! xD Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@TKS60163]

Hey Sam I was wondering if you could tripple-head all your W4's at some point, that would be awesome!

[@SamsTrains]

That'd be epic, I'll do that some time for sure! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)
