Opening the Western Express TTS Sound Hornby Train Set

[@BritishRailways60163]

Reminds me of when I opened up my Western Pullman set back on Christmas 2005, which of course you also have ☺️

[@MrKenichi22]

I liked that set too.

[@CPonSound]

Cylinder Cocks are "taps" that are found on the bottom of the cylinders. Essentially, when a locomotive stops, steam in the pipe feeding the cylinders will condense into water. Cylinder cocks allow this water to drain out. If water was allowed to stay in the cylinder, when the piston travels to the end, the water would be "compressed" (which is nowhere nears as ""compressible" as steam) and create v. high pressure that can blown the ends of the cylinders. The cylinder cocks is what creates the characteristic cloud of steam from the front of the loco when starting off. You will notice this more in early morning, as once the cylinders have warmed up through use, the water is far less likely to condense. If a loco has been standing for more than a few minutes, you will normally open the cylinder cocks for a couple of wheel rotations to make sure the cylinders are water free.

[@kanesawday6440]

Well it is lovely to see that you are back. We've all missed you quite a lot.

[@starwolf1986]

It's great to see IC82 back on the Tube and such a beautiful set, hope you enjoyed your time off Will.

[@miscellaneous.7127]

I can't believe you're back! I missed you A LOT!

[@nathanielhull4930]

Exactly 1 year ago, today on the 20th November IC82 came back to youtube and series 7 began!!

[@Dave_The_Drone]

E-Link works perfectly with Win10, no more of this "com3" / bad drivers business. Glad you are back and enjoyed your holiday Will.

[@TheCatOfWarCSGO]

+Dave Murphy Thanks, good to know, I'm considering getting E-Link and my pc is win10.

[@caiusmartius]

Good to see you back in action Will. Looks like a very good train set that will give many years of enjoyment.

[@APOTwixx]

Very happy to see a new IC82 video. Welcome back Will!

[@XJoshuamiller]

i got the magestic set last christmas. it came with a class 47 and a class A1 it had elink. and nem couplings!

[@ConfusedShelf]

I was worried this had become a dead channel. Glad to see you're back.

[@keesgardner5360]

Sven van der Plank then it became a dead channel like at the start of the year! RIP IC82

[@RedfernModelRailway]

Its about time manufacturers recognised your channel!!

[@most_hat3d502]

glad to see you back ic82

[@WHRBERT]

Love the breakfast sound, have cooked breakfast on the shovel many times myself!

[@davidsweeney111]

Oh this is great Wil, you are the Chris Packham of trains, oh yes!

[@StevenJam]

Who else was thinking Riviera Line in the 50's from Train Simulator 2016 for half of the video. The King, Castle, Hall, are just some of the locos on the route in the game.

[@stf2222]

glad to see a vid again will. hope you had a good break and a good run up for the new series.

[@Colin21454]

Very nice, thanks for sharing

[@JaeV2000]

hi will glad your back and what an epic train set to start off with exellent

[@andyherb]

It good to see your back

[@literallylego4720]

While watching this I was sorting my OO/HO scale trains over here in the states. You sir make very good videos.

[@jleoneleone8760]

the blow down is the condensed water that buildssup in the cylinder and a valve under the cylinder is opened and the water is cleared to prevent piston damage

[@GrahamWalters]

+Jleone leone Wrong ! A blown down is done to help clear the boiler pipes of any scale that has formed on them, as the blow down cock is opened, cold water is injected into the boiler, causing the pipes to shrink quickly, this cracks off any scale and cinders that has formed in or on them. Piston damage is avoided by opening the drain cocks, and passing steam through them to warm through, this is done as part of the warm up process.

[@jleoneleone8760]

+Graham Walters thanks

[@danieljarvis5650]

+Graham Walters water is not injected while the loco is blowing down. The blowdown stirs up rubbish and impurities in the boiler so the boiler doesn't corrode. Usually the boiler goes from a 3/4 or more on the glass to 1/2 full when the man on the footplate will blow the whistle to signal the glass is halfway

[@sammybfilmsxtra-cinearray]

Good to have you back, Will! And congrats for all that's going on with Hornby too. :-)

[@tovnnozae5484]

P

[@rowangwrfan3228]

I love that GWR Hall I wish I had one

[@belfastbusfan]

thank god your back glad to see you will

[@PorridgePalexAlex]

Is ELink essential for TTS sound, or is TTS backwards compatible with the Select? And also, are regular digital locos forward-compatible with ELink?

[@stirlingsheep]

TTS is compatible with Select, though I think you only get 10 sounds due to the limitations (apparently you can send the select to Hornby and they'll update it so all are available though don't quote me). All digital locomotives that have a DCC chip should be compatible with the eLink - the eLink is just another DCC controller like a Hornby Elite, but you control through a computer/laptop etc. Personally I think it'd be better value buying a separate eLink, proper TTS sound loco like the Duke of Gloucester and 3 full price Pullman coaches than buying this set for £250+

[@thomasfan1756]

yes he's back!

[@CyberGlitched848]

Hey +intercity82! Omg it's been a long time since you uploaded (people will think you was dead) so good to have you back!

[@KPTHR3]

The eLink does not work with windows8. But might work with 10 would you be able to try this?

[@wanderingwarrior8517]

horray!!! ic82 is back!!!!🙆

[@mattmurphie5107]

My favourite in fact the only Western engine I properly like is the 57xx pannier tank

[@SpottingWithSam]

if you had that loco could you control the loco just with a normal DCC controler (or a DC controler if you take the DCC chip out of the tender)

[@Mipexdee]

on the laptop, right click and use compatabilyty mode for windows 7 to run anything on win10

[@DarrenHickeyhornbyGWR]

i have the Western Express TTS Sound Hornby Train Set to i thinck that is good i luv it

[@riochcogan8913]

Best review ever Will. Comprehensive as always.

[@SeaToby11]

Isn't this the first ever Hornby TTS Sound train set? Wow!

[@SeaToby11]

Unfortunately, the Windows software required to run Hornby's software is getting a bit old and tired. Especially when Microsoft is pushing very hard their latest system software, Windows 10... Hornby needs to get on top of this, ASAP... It is getting harder and harder to find Windows 7 system software, well, computers that run it... Everyone has updated by now to Windows 10...

[@cerysstorey6821]

Well done for another great video.Can't wait to see some more! Well done :)

[@antonyharding5640]

Matt you should open a competition where every month you pick a top 3 layouts from your fans via DMs on social media

[@mattmurphie5107]

Loco 10/10 coaches 9/10

[@WDG13031]

Beautiful set...Lovely video!!! GOOD JOB HORNBY

[@MrKenichi22]

I also like some of the cities.

[@initialbreez]

Can I use these locos with normal a DCC controller?

[@columnedfox5508]

of course you can but you just won't be able to use the sounds, the Rail master software is out of date by 2015 so if you got the set, Then use the Hornby Elite or the digital select...

[@jamesrice21]

Hooray, you're back!!

[@Thomas__Blue]

Yay hopefully more of the model railway village series

[@SeaToby11]

+Thomas Blue We are also waiting for the continuation of the ATP project Will. We do want to see what Craig does to bring her up to today's standards. The Train Tech sound device I installed to a Hornby GWR box van is working great, and the battery is still running now after three months. I use her with all my steam shunter locos, the Hornby GWR Holden tank pocket rocket, the Hornby GWR Prairie Tank, and the Bachmann GWR Pannier tank.

[@modelmilitaryaviation5614]

Yeah! You're back!🚅🚄

[@mrbluenevertoleratehatred]

Glad your back mate. Good honest review!

[@gwr1787]

glad you're back will! :)

[@wellsworthjunction]

+InterCity82 You now have a Hall, A King & a Castle classes. You must be a very proud man.

[@thomasgray4188]

yes he's back with the gwr my favorite :)

[@SeaToby11]

+83c PRODUCTIONS Mine too, God's Wonderful Railway...

[@devonjunction5930]

yes ic82 is back

[@NorthernSoulExpress]

great video as always

[@zanethompson6087]

if you have a table you can put your test track under the layout like I have

[@erikblair4671]

HOORAY!!!!!!! Your back! Also we can see u

[@ch13f14]

this came out on by birthday :) im getting the tornado traib set aswell

[@timdamberg]

such a nice birthdaypresent! thank you!

[@tiffanyswadling513]

FINALLY YOU ARE BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@DunoonModelRailway]

all dcc train sets seam to come with green power tracks! idk why but mine did to!

[@streamleazefishhouse]

Not quite sure why they didn't do this with a castle class locomotive surely they would be more likely to pull pullman coaches?

[@KeithTucker45]

Welcome back, Will. Missed your regular video updates. I can understand why you are so enthusiastic about this train set. It looks, sounds and appears to run well. Hopefully, Hornby will resolve the issues with the software, although I suspect that some of the problems are Windows related. Looking forward to the next instalment.

[@Mildcat743]

Wasnt one of the 4900 locos used as the engine for the Hogwarts Express?

[@SempleProductions]

yeah it was Olton Hall I think

[@Pinchess789]

Imagine putting a GoPro on the loco...

[@tresandmyclass3494]

one of those pinhole cameras at the coal opening in the tender to see the inside of the cab

[@godlydestroyer8658]

I've done it once and it was cool

[@2595220]

woot!! been waiting for this!!! :D

[@davidbrinklow5752]

I would like to know how many locomotives can you have going on a big train set?

[@DeafIaint]

Regarding all these TTS locos, can you program the rate of chuffs per revolution. All the KZbin demos I've seen show the locos moving along with too few chuffs!Thanks

[@mightymackrel5548]

Welcome back to KZbin Will!!!

[@alfiewhittaker3763]

ive sent two locos to you and im not 100% sure if they have arrived at crewe works yet can you give me info. thanks

[@tushardewde5715]

it is a good starter set for who likes a digital world of train because it has elink!. I give u a suggestion that you rarely use 2 lop so make it elink

[@TheMagpie83]

Wotcha Will, good to see you back. Looking forward to that king class review :)

[@alecsmodelingstudio7006]

Another amazing review, I believe cylinder cocks are valves that use high pressure steam to discharge condensed water from the cylinders as that can be quite dangerous if the water pools up when the engine is under way as the pressure buildup is akin to that of a miniature boiler explosion.

[@awp2902]

dose it work on hornby tts digital sound locmotives

[@kieranmcgettrick9541]

He is back

[@jacksoncadengo898]

yay!!! I have been checking the channel Daly.

[@christinelucas9346]

Firstly welcome back,I was hoping you would be back on KZbin this side of Christmas.Secondly series 7 wow were have the series gone (posted by her son)

[@Alexander-wq8nh]

From what I've heard I think that she's GWR's Black Five cause she aint pre grouping

[@joeygmc528]

yes! youre back!!!

[@icurus222]

Welcome back Will :)

[@Battleb0rn]

Why is it that hornby and bachmann are behind in their sound systems and details? I know that here in America, Lionel and MTH trains are all very highly detailed and have fantastic sound systems. Why are British/European model train manufacturers so far behind?

[@bahnspotterEU]

The sound chip manufacturer ESU is from Germany. You might only know them from their impressive sound systems, but they also make locomotives too. Most of them are H0 scale. They have a Class 66 with working break sparks which are LEDs that light up when you slow the loco down quickly. Other than them, there are more companies doing many sound equipped locos. Most of them are from the continent though, not from Britain.

[@Battleb0rn]

My apologies, friend. I am from America, so i'm more used to our manufacturers here. lionel and MTH on some of their larger scale locomotives as well as their smaller scale have some seriously impressive effects like smoke sounds that are synchronized with the turning of the wheels and automatic brake sounds when you slow the train, as well as lights and incredible detail.

[@CharleetheGiraffe]

welcome back my son

[@therealr1703]

Can I use a train that is e link on a DCC or a DC controler does it have to be e link to drive the train

[@robinbird1510]

Your BACK!!!!

[@stevedaly1440]

Welcome back.

[@kampferking1]

Well you be doing a review on the p2 soon

[@tushardewde5715]

one more thing can you make review of class 43 HST vrigin East coast TTS and DCC fitted : )

[@jordansfrye]

what is the difference between TTS sound and DCC sound

[@ClamTram96]

jordan frye TTS is more cheaper then DCC, and Hornby are the only ones that use it (due to them creating it)

[@jordansfrye]

Z19/ C30 Guy thanks

[@ClamTram96]

jordan frye No prob

[@godlydestroyer8658]

Tts is hornby venison

[@robertsowden1454]

Cylinder cocks is where it drains all water out of the cylinders whilst starting movement. If not done the cylinders explode

[@wellsworthjunction]

+Robert Sowden I am really glad I open the drain cocks on my engines before moving

[@BrianPannier]

Will you be attending Warley national model railway exabition?

[@tmb4623]

yay wills back😁

[@putridvomit]

You can use the e link software on Windows 10. Even if it don't work it's not going to break anything.

[@ironhorsestudios5068]

5:28 The first legit train set I got was the Emerald Night for my birthday. LEGO, no track or Power Functions included.

[@aaronjonesmodelrailways5429]

Hurray for series 7! Would you consider doing a workshop video showing the installation of a smoke generator for a steam locomotive? That would be awesome!

[@louisjamescarroll2173]

intercity82 you 2 elink sets have to one e link layout

[@jamescumberland348]

yay your back woo

[@trainzville9237]

Hello InterCity82 Glad you are back and be doing videos again! Don't forget to buy the Hornby TTS Sound Flying Scotsman. Remember the message I sent you on Facebook? Well done! Your Sincerely Jordan Shingler

[@वैभवचौबे]

Man.. I wish I could have Hornby.......

[@wellsworthjunction]

also. that tender is I think a churchward

[@nigelcarter2789]

Nice review

[@martinwillis9601]

Could you ask hornbey if you can do a review on their majestic set, I've been wondering if it's worth getting or not, it is a lot of money but you do get basically two full sets.

[@dave41184]

Sound quality seems very impressive - with all the software and what have you, could you have multiple locos playing sounds at the same time?

[@vlakyokoloprostejova722]

I'm also a modeler and I want to ask you also have some trains Czech Petr Halabrín Czech Republic já jsem také modelář a chci se zeptat máte také nějaké české vlaky Petr halabrín Česká republika

[@howdoiputthecheeseintheove8437]

I've got a book that has a lot of Czech trains (steam,desiel, etc) and it's called 333 Lokomtiv And my favourite Czech train is the Rada F locos

[@vlakyokoloprostejova722]

Hello I read your comment and I can not remember the series F: Can you please describe this train. Dobrý den Četl jsem váš komentář a nemůžu si vzpomenout na řadu F Můžete mi prosím Tento vlak popsat

[@callumnicolson9984]

Love the new intro!
