Hornby Belmond British Pullman Train Pack (R3750) | Unboxing and Review

[@stewartclark1847]

Hi Rob, came across your channel last week and very impressed with your presentations. Enjoyed your review of the Pullman train pack. I was surprised to hear the UK rrp. I purchased my Pullman train pack last year for $389.00 Aussie dollars. The hobby shop commented that he thought the the Hornby rrp wasn’t right. A win for me! Looking for to your future videos (I’ve been going through pass videos). All the best from Down Under.

I can easily see why you bought this. I bought the deluxe Orient Express train set several years ago. It had a Merchant Navy class loco, which I believe occasionally pulls the train today, and it started my love affair with British trains. Like you, I love the working table lamps in the coaches, which give the train such a nice feel. It's an amazing kind of train to own.

Hi Diedert! I saw the deluxe Orient Express set come up on Ebay the other day (for crazy money!) and it does look amazing.

[@diedertspijkerboer]

@@LittleWicketRailway Yes, it is really nice, but it would give you a lot of stuff you don't need anymore. Yes, current prices on Ebay are crazy. I paid about GBP 300 for a near mint second hand set back in 2015, which I think was reasonable. BTW: the loco in it is Clan Line (non-streamlined) which occasionally pulls the train today. I add this, because it can be bought separately, of course. Note that mine is less detailed than what you can get today, with no painted cab detail, for example. I hope that this comment helps you or other people who are interested in the set.

@@diedertspijkerboer thanks for sharing, that's definiteily useful. If you were interested in the British Pullman track pack then Amazon are doing a very good price at the moment amzn.to/2ZU3yNt

[@diedertspijkerboer]

@@LittleWicketRailway Thanks, that is indeed an excellent offer. Unfortunately, importing things from Britain has become very expensive since Brexit, since there's a hefty import tax now. I do hope to go to an exhibition in Britain someday, though, and get some second hand lighted Pullmans. I'm allowed to take a limited number of things home with me tax free.

Hello. A Lovely Looking Train Pack From Hornby & A Great Review. I Have The Hornby EWS Class 67 Freight Pack Which i recently fitted a 67 TTS Decoder. They Are Fantastic Hornby Models. Cheers Andy.

[@LittleWicketRailway]

Thanks, yeah, agreed Hornby did good one this one. Did you have to de-solder the speaker and fit it underneath on yours?

[@somersetandy9238]

@@LittleWicketRailway Hello. Yes I did the same. my first attempt at soldering. A bit fiddly but worked first time so i was very happy. Great sound aswell.

[@mrhaggit]

[@andykopgod]

Sorry im new to the Hobby. Is one light more lit than the other? Beautiful set 💪

[@ryanstephenkristoferkearns1319]

The Pullman coaches used to be part of the train called the Brighton Belle.

[@modelrailwaynoob]

Part of a few packs but there are labelled slightly differently.

[@Flyingscotsman19_23]

It’s beautiful

How can I get DCC current from the outer loop to the inner loop without interrupting the DC current?

[@LittleWicketRailway]

Hi Scale Models, I'm not sure I understand the question, can you give me more details? I don't mix DCC and DC at the same time on my layout, I think that would end in disaster, but I have a way of changing between the two systems when I need to.

[@scalesmodellingmagic5883]

@@LittleWicketRailway what I mean is that I have an independent dcc circuit and I would like the current to go into the inner loop but will the wire for the dcc connection interfere with my two independent dc circuits wile operating the dc current?

[@scalesmodellingmagic5883]

@Ashton Robson I’ll look into it

[@williamvanalen9414]

Nice little review but as a steam man I’m using the money for other projects. If your worried about damaging the boxes try using a small screwdriver to open the flaps.

[@LittleWicketRailway]

As a fellow steam fan I understand that decision. Thanks for the tip!

[@andykopgod]

Impressive, can you get these in N Scale?

[@LittleWicketRailway]

Looks like Dapol make a version (www.dapol.co.uk/2D-010-010-N-Gauge-Class-67-Belmond-British-Pullman-67021) no idea what it's like.

[@generalgrievous5615]

I go to school overlooking the Victoria Station throat and depot. See this every Friday at about 10 if you want to try get pics of it!

[@LittleWicketRailway]

You've got a great view then! 👍
