[@davidstrains4910]

The southern region locomotive named Sir Dinadan is actually a N15 Daniel, the N15 and S15 are very similar looking locomotives and as a result people do get them mixed up a lot of the time, the best way to remember it is the S15 has smaller driving wheels than the N15 because the S15 is a freight locomotive, think of it as S15 (small), N15 (normal).

[@SMTMainline]

That's a pretty extensive list, thanks a bunch!

@@SMTMainline SMT what happened to the live stream form the other day its not on the channel? And I added two traction tires on one of my big boys I used the factory ones I took off and carefully spot glued the edges so it would not come off definitely helped I can now pull 12 cars up a percent grade were as before I was lucky if I could do 8 I had led weights to put in I have metal in it now the led should help being that led is heavier

[@paleopotato736]

The brown engine looks to be a North British Atlantic of some kind

As a OO modeller from Aus, I might be able to help identify these for you. I really liked the video. Based on the image at 11:10 (Left to right and top to bottom): Top Row- Hornby tender drive Black Five/ 5MT from the 70s, matched with a 60s Triang B12 tender; Triang Hornby class 08 shunter bodyshell, looks 70s or 80s; Triang Blue Pullman dummy power car, 60s; 2nd Row- Triang 2-6-2T 3MT tank, 60s; Hornby Intercity 125; Hornby class 29 bodyshell, 70s, the Bo-Bo motor bogie in row 6 goes with it; 3rd Row- Airfix Castle, 80s, looks renumbered/renamed; Lima class 52 Western, looks repainted/renamed/renumbered, 80s; Triang Co-Co power bogie- suitable for class 31, 37 or EM2; Row 4- Kit made (?) NBR Atlantic, know little about it, but it uses a Triang princess chassis; Mainline warship class 42 bodyshell, 80s; Row 5- Hornby 57xx pannier tank (8750 subclass), 70s/80s, mint but looks to have missing buffers and chimney cap; the matching Hornby Intercity 125; Hornby 'Sir Dinadan' with matching tender, 70s; Row 6- Triang Hornby class 31 (Co-Co power bogie could be source of spares), 70s; Triang 'Princess Victoria', 60s, the tender is a later 70s Mainline/Airfix one from the Royal Scot, its matching tender is actually the middle one from the 5 spare tenders; Bo-Bo bogie for class 29; Bottom Row- Triang Maroon princess and tender, looks like the loco was repainted to match the tender, 60s, would've been 'Princess Royal' in maroon; Triang black Princess Elizabeth with tender, these have been partially repainted with the red lining, but it looks ok, 60s. Also, the spare tenders are (from left to right): Hornby Dublo A4 tender (repainted green), 40s-60s; Hornby Railways Princess tender in LMS maroon, 70s, Triang Princess tender, 60s; Triang GWR tender, matches 'Lord of the Isles', 60s; a Triang B12 tender, repainted.

[@SMTMainline]

Thank you!

[@Tobeshadow]

Very cool lot/video! As I live in the UK, I always enjoy seeing your Canadian/US locos (I have very little knowledge of them!) so was a treat to see you open things I know a bit better. At 5:35 is a Triang Blue Pullman, very desirable models even now! What you have looks to be the dummy car as the wheels are all plastic. The power car has a motor on the front bogie with metal wheels (plastic on the rear), otherwise it looks the same as the dummy. You should be able to find a power car reasonably cheaply but the coaches are a different matter entirely. They tend to fetch pretty high prices. Well worth the spend though, they look fantastic running. Not bad going for a 60+ year old model. The real sets carried either 4 or 6 coaches in between the power cars. 3:30 is Hornby R154 (called the King Arthur class loco, they all have names of King Arthur's Knights, this one is Sir Dinadan) a superb runner when serviced. Won't identify any more here as this comment will become War and Peace but enjoy the new locos! Toby

[@williammcgeehan3424]

Those Inner City 125 ( HST ) were introduced in Britain in the early 1970's and were very successful for British Rail. They went up against another design called an APT. APT was a tilting train to ease the transition on curves at speed.

[@rdrogel1116]

and the Australian XPT(Xpress Passenger Train) was developed from HST and it was introduced in 1982 to revolutionize country rail services in New South Wales.

[@thomaspayne8478]

Some Intercity 125s are still working in Scotland!

[@animaltvi9515]

The HST didn't go up against the APT it was designed as a stop gap while the APT was doing developed. . But it turned out to be more successful than the APT. . The red one or maroon is a class 52 western diesel hydraulic.

[@williammcgeehan3424]

@@animaltvi9515 The APT trains weren't as successful because they made people feel sick. They disturbed equilibrium leading to nausea and vertigo ( dizziness ).

[@animaltvi9515]

@@williammcgeehan3424 that's a bit of a miss noma. The press were very anti British Rail and had been filled with free booze before that fateful test run. So obviously they all felt a bit sick. Tha APT was basically doomed from the start. The press hated BR and the government didn't want to pay for it. The technology was later refined and used on the pendolino tilting trains ..

[@historyotaku]

I have to say what an amazing haul and I'd be lying if I wasn't a bit jealous. I'm always on the lookout for Bitish stock this side of teh pond and have only to this date managed to acquire to locomotives, A Triang Flying Scotsman and a Triang M7. Here is what I believe everything is. 1:55 - Triang LMS "Princess", this engine is rather special in that it was the first mass produced plastic OO gauge steam locomotive in the UK. The chassis of the first run was much different but the body is more or less the same. 1:31 - Shell of a Triang BR Standard Class 3 Tank Engine. 2:32 2:51 - Mainline Class 42 "Warship". 3:15 - Triang Southern Railway N15 "King Arthur" Class. 3:51 - Lima BR Class 52 "Western" 4:34 - Airfix Great Western Railway 6000 "King Class". 5:20 - Shell of a Triang BR Class 08. 5:39 - Triang Blue Pullman DMU Dummy Car 6:00 - Hornby Ringfield motor bogie for a diesel. 6:09 - Tender for a Triang LNER B12. 6:19 - Triang GWR 57xx Pannier Tank Engine 6:44 - The top tender is a kitbash/ custom and the bottom is the tender for a Triang GWR 3031 Class, specifically "Lord of the Isles" No. 3046. 7:12 - Another Triang Princess. 7:31 - Another Triang Princess 7:52 - A custom model, of what I believe to be an NBR Atlantic, the tender from 6:44 goes with it. 8:14 - A Hornby LMS Black 5, this particular model is tender driven. 8:45 - The power bogie of a Triang diesel. 9:07 - Triang Class 9:35 - Hornby Intercity 125 11:31-You actually got pretty to matching the tender with their locomotives, The only one you got wrong is the Princess in teh 2nd row should have the BR Lined Black Tender (it says British Railways on the tender and has red and white lining).

[@aj50person82]

2:32 - Hornby Class 29 4:34 - Airfix Castle class 9:07 - Triang Class 31

[@historyotaku]

edit I don't know how I made such a noob mistake but 4:34 is a GWR 4073 Castle Class not a King Class.

[@SMTMainline]

Thank you so much for this list!

[@MrBnsftrain]

1:28 that's the body for a BR standard 3MT tank engine 2:28 North British Type 2, also called the class 21 3:10 that is an N15 class that had the name "Sir Dinadan" 3:53 the "Westerns" are cool diesel-hydraulic locomotives. They all had 'Western' in their name and worked on the former GWR lines 4:43 Airfix was a separate company hence why you see pre-built model trains with their name. This engine is a Great Western 4000 class which were also known as "Star class" 5:18 these little diesels are the Class 08, and they have rodded wheels like a steam engine 6:16 a GWR 57xx pannier tank! The most iconic GWR tank engine with over 800 built 7:45 that does look like a custom-made engine, a north British H class It seems like tenders for British locomotives are more common than the locomotives themselves. I have two British tenders (one Tri-ang, one Bachmann from the Flying Scot set) but no locomotive

I had one of those GWR pannier tanks, I sold it a few months ago. I paid next to nothing for it, and got it running great, but I just never used it much and I didn't have anything for it to pull. In the end I put it up for sale online (it had the original box and papers) expecting to receive an offer or two... and then shortly after listing, somebody bought it for the list price! I think I had it performing as good as it was ever going to get, reasonably smooth for the sort of drive it had, and as quiet as I could get it. Another reason I could justify parting with it was that while it could manage 18" radius curves, it didn't particularly like them and you could see it slow down a little while it squeezed through them. I hope it's new owner is having a lot of fun with it, and I hope you get yours running! It was very simple inside, very similar to the drives in Mantua steam locomotives but less smooth and quiet. Iirc mine had a 3 pole motor.

[@SMTMainline]

Some of these models didn't run perfectly even when they left the factory so even decent performance is good.

Ebay: here's an auction lot of parts locomotives. Harrison: challenge accepted. Harrison a lot of those freewheeling steamers are built as that with the power unit in the tender. Had a fellow from across the pond in our model railroad club in the 80s that ran a lot of British stock and also a long time friend that ran a lot of Thomas stuff for the kids at shows. Still get a laugh about the time at a show where Gordon the bigger engine derailed and was shoved up the up the platform of a depot snuffing out several HO scale lives in the process while the tender and train continued on it's merry way oblivious to the scale carnage it left in it's wake

The green diesel shunter uses the same type of chassis as the small tank engine you've got there. As for the black 4-6-0 I believe those were tender driven for the most part, though a friend of mine did put a motor in the engine as it's got the room for it.

[@exlimey1417]

Still have my InterCity 125 that I got in 1980 before we left the UK. Mine had one dummy and one powered unit. It still worked in the late 80s. Haven't tried it since then but it is on a display I built with a Deltic and a Hymek.

Not only did (“Air-Fix”) make model trains, they also made model planes, model cars, and model boats as well as the ever popular and famous at one time visible V-8, as well as some of the finely 1/72 Military and Armor ! So far, what I’ve seen is all Hornby, Air-Fix, Lima, or Trix ! Most of original Märklín is 3 Rails like Lionel ! All OO/HO !! The advantages that you have are that (“American HO”) is 1/87 scale, while British- OO is 1/72 Scale ! Still close enough to work together ! Interesting fact; In 1940 Lionel also had OO GAUGE BUT @ 1/76 scale ! The corridor on the old original NCIS; Doc “Ducike” had a locomotive above his desk if you remember ever watching the show ??? 🌊🐺

[@Hiawatha_Productions]

Just a heads up, some of those engines with the tenders that have the axles sticking through the plastic are triang models, they have thicker wheel flanges meaning that they may tend to derail on modern track. I could be wrong on that bc I believe they may have changed it up later on, but it is something to be wary of, and the green diesel shell isn’t compatible with the spare bogey you have

That "spare" two-axle bogie with the gears missing appears to be a spare from an IC125, as it has no coupling hook and has the cylindrical bits the same as the two IC125 cars. At a guess, a previous owner was trying to modify a front draw hook for one of those power cars, as they've cut into the lower nose. This was used whenever a set suffered a failure, as it allowed another locomotive to attach and 'drag' the IC125.

Thanks for all the info!

[@gamingwithlukeJToH]

How do you always find these great lots???

[@SMTMainline]

Keep hunting until I find what I'm looking for. I had to pay through the nose on shipping for this one.

[@gamingwithlukeJToH]

@@SMTMainline I know, literally I found a dummy engine coming from Spain, and the shipping was 5 times the price of the actual item!

[@exlimey1417]

I have some old Hornby Catalogs I used to drool over back in the 80s. I'll have to see if I can get some pics and email them to you.

[@SMTMainline]

That sounds good!

[@anthonyj.adventures9736]

Thats cool the green locomotive you pulled out near the beginning had blind driver wheels in the middle. Thats a detail alot og model companies dont do. A blind driver is a driver wheel that doesn't have the flange on the back side of the wheel. Blind drivers are actually milled with the center of the wheel that contacts the track in the center as the highest point. Think of the profile of an inflated bicycle tire. Theres a channel i watch with a guy who is a real world railroad singal engineer and also works a the Colorado RR museum. He does 101 video about all thing mechanical about trains. He did a video on blind drivers.

Hey Harrison. What interesting buys from England in HO scale. Wow 2 of those engines i was concerned. 🤣🤣I am sorry Harrison i didn't see the smoke come out of the High speed train i have a medium sized screen on my phone when i watch all my videos. I didn't expect that poor diesel smoke i could tell with your voice then the steam engine my goodness. 😳😵 The high speed train i am familiar with. LIMA came out with this in the 1980's & 1990's I saw it in the catalogs like you i wanted one for years please hope you csn fix it. Also Charlie at CHADWICKS MODEL RAILWAY had featured this in his collection. I was cheering when one of your steam engine took off on the layout then derailed .Maybe that should be in outtakes. 😄As for AIR FIX trains a rarity. I know this. I price so many of them where i work. They're mostly AIRPLANES , MILITARY TANKS, AIR PLANES BOATS & SHIPS, & model cars most kits come with some paints. AIR FIX is part of HORNBY they also make CORGI as well that steam engine & tender is a gem treasure it. Always my pleasure to watch looking forward to seeing future videos. 💡I had brainstorm : Why not in a series in parts we all can learn & enjoy that . Good purchases risky but i know you can rebuild & modify them even better. Harold A CN / BC RAIL/ CPRR fan as well.

I was your video during school today

[@dylanSNL816]

FYI: you can pull the top of the boiler off of the gwr pannier to access the motor if needed.

[@al7857]

7:47 Did anyone nows the Brand? Its 100% a kit, i have a similar one

[@SMTMainline]

I wish I knew.

[@TheKingRacer007]

I maybe wrong but the green western tender isn't supposed to go with the GWR locomotive? It's seems to be the same color and liveries except the truck covers. But really nice set of steam engines in here!

[@SMTMainline]

Probably so, I don't have a good eye for this stuff.

[@spring626]

The brown nbr Atlantic loco is a kit model, I've seen some people have one in better condition online and I've seen pictures of it too.

[@SMTMainline]

It certainly was not built right but I don't think it was built to actually run.

[@robertknight4672]

I'm not sure what the truck you were trying to put in the shunter goes to. The correct wheels for the shunter look the same as an 0-6-0 steam engine. That's something that's always fascinated me about the smaller British diesels.

[@Theoriginalborgy]

I’m a little jealous. I think I bid on the same lot but I didn’t like the repainted locos LOL. Hornby bought out Triang, Lima and Airfix to name a few. I really wanted the GWR pannier tanker, intercity 125 and the warship. the class 8 Diesel shunter doesn’t have a chassis. Not sure what the 6 wheel chassis is for. A lot of the steam locos of this era are tender driven.

[@SMTMainline]

I overpaid but I really wanted this one. They're almost all gonna need work too

[@Theoriginalborgy]

@@SMTMainline And the shipping cost really hurts too. It’s something I always factor into the price and bid. I found it’s hard to find spare parts here as well. But it looks like you have a spare Ringfield motor? Because it’s hard to find motors and parts I design 3D printed adapters with modern motors. Especially the Triang and early Hornby 0-4-0’s known as pocket rockets. after I’ve converted them with a 6 pole motors they make great little shunters (switchers ?)

[@QuinnsVictorianTrains]

Nice. The chassisless shunter shell numbered D3010 is an 08 or 09 class

[@mr.c.railway]

Most of them are all triang and imma guess some early Lima locos that look absolutely amazing

[@kalebscherlie1503]

Yay! I’ve been waiting to see some locomotives from across the pond! I can’t recall if you have some British locos already? Maybe a small 0-4-0 tank engine and a 4-6-0 tender engine with a huge nut in it?

[@Heroduothecomedian]

Sam's train here on youtube might be able to help you figure out everything as he specializes in hornby 00 scale British locomotives since he lives in the U.K.

[@SMTMainline]

I'm sure he'd know what these are
