Over there, over there you guys are lucky to be able to get the products so quickly. Last month some of the Peco wagons became available here. Hornby still waiting on the new Oil tankers and the rest of the releases after them. But great review, thanks they look amazing.

[@mactrains]

Yes, we forget in our impatience how long others have to wait. Thanks for watching!

[@MrLotus8]

I couldn’t agree more, the other day I randomly walked into our local (Canberra) toy shop and they just had a shipment from Hornby including the TT Mallard with sound fitted! I snatched it before it even hit the shelves!😂

[@mactrains]

Thanks MrLotus - patience is a rare virtue in our fast-paced culture. Appreciate the comment.

[@AllensTrains]

It is good that Hornby are producing this range of TT items. The drawback is you would consider yourself done at half the price for a dinky little item like this! Thanks for uploading

[@mactrains]

They're not cheap - thats true - but I don't consider myself 'done'. Considering that most manufacturers are at roughly similar price points, I'd suggest it's a sad economic reality that stuff we want costs more than we want to pay! Thanks for watching.

[@lukestevens8735]

It's not the size that costs but the detail.

Coupling, the 50 is derailed!

[@mactrains]

Aargh! Well spotted Andrew. It's amazing what the camera spots that this scale that my eyes miss.

[@ElaineJones-w5e]

For now I’ll stick to my oo gauge though liking what I see 👍

[@mactrains]

Thanks Elaine - OO will always be at the heart of the hobby in the UK, and there is plenty of OO stuff that I don;t ever intend to part with!

Another great addition :)

[@mactrains]

Glad you think so! Totally agree

[@BaseSet_77]

Useful insight into the wagon thankyou.

[@mactrains]

Thanks. They're really excellent little models. Unpretentious and none the worse for that.

[@ElaineJones-w5e]

What about magnetic couplings

[@mactrains]

I haven't actually tried magnetics myself. I like the idea of them for coaches, but less so for freight, where the strong magnet pull when they couple feels somehow wrong to me! Just personal preference of course.

[@ianhughes-zf1ll]

Great video nice wagon but not going to get any yet my two new class 50’s going back as well as intercity 125 also not happy with Hornby at moment

[@mactrains]

Sorry to hear that. Usually Hornby have great after-sales care. Did you buy direct?

[@ianhughes-zf1ll]

@@mactrains yes directly from Hornby this makes 7out of 9 gone back now mostly motors but one 50 and 125 they are thinking prop shafts not buying anymore so much money and having to go back think it’s time to get out of trains unfortunately

[@mactrains]

Sorry to hear that. But all the more thanks for still watching!

[@andrewstewart-wright4131]

Great wagon though. I have 4 of them

[@mactrains]
