New Junction - Under Closer Inspection: Hornby Class 08 'DB Schenker' '08623' with TTS Sound

[@cytrix9585]

Just come back from school after waiting and wanting to see your next vid! Great edition to the layout! I like the intro and outro Ollie

[@NewJunction]

Haha I think the next station update is next Friday!

[@wolvertoncentresidings5676]

Hi Richard. I've just bought one and am super impressed with it. I've got the bachmann DB 08 too and the Hornby one is so much nicer. One detail I really like is the cold start function!

[@onnomulder9775]

A very beautiful loco!!! After the second world war the Dutch National Railways (NS) bought a lot of these shunters (NS class 600). Some of them are still in use by privat companies and museum railways. In H0 scale made by Roco.

[@NewJunction]

I never knew that, how fascinating! Regards Richard

[@modelsandtrains7915]

This is a great little engine it's never let me down sad that hornby discontinued them now so I'm quite lucky to grab one

[@timsytanker]

Love the new look, the whole thing works very well, impressed!

[@dartwear-formallystationwi4828]

Great vid as usual. Keep up the sterling work👍🏻

[@michaelwhite8031]

Having been born in 1959 l have a very vague memory of travelling on steam trains from Paddington to Fishguard during family trips to Ireland. As l was only 3 years old at the time l did not appreciate their beauty. I do remember seeing these little shuntters working. Would you have any idea of the steam train class that would have worked the Paddington to Fishguard line ? Many thanks for an enjoyable video.

[@darrelldeltic807]

Sounds incredible for such a limited space for a decent speaker , need to get my hands on one of them beauties! Nice new intro btw 👍 cheers Dazza

[@NewJunction]

Glad you liked it Dazza, you wont be disappointed, Richard

[@Finnertoncentralmodelrailway]

An 08 is definitely on my wish list loving the new format Richard.

[@NewJunction]

Well worth it Brian!

[@Finnertoncentralmodelrailway]

Yes im on the look out for a good used one.

[@Steamjammer]

They must be useful, I saw five at the Severn Valley this morning! Though, admittedly, I was taking advantage their Open House weekend to mooch around their Diesel Depot. And if I'm honest there could well have been an 09 and an 11 in the mix.

[@jaywatchtravel6146]

nice video by the way from my uncles class 08 by Hornby the cab side windows and roof vent opens

[@ScottishNSRailFan]

Liked your review. May consider buying for my collection. Do not have an 08.

[@RailwayModellerBen]

Lovely new addition to your fleet Richard.

[@NewJunction]

Thank you! :D

[@bjoe385]

The unsung hero of the rails.

[@brnesouthwest9915]

Thank you for your video particularly highlighting the opening doors, having being into model railways for over forty years this is a welcome development. You mention the problem with the 0-6-0 locos and this one does not suffer the same problems over the slips and express turn out. It would be interesting if you could advise whose track you're using and their product codes, as I would like to ensure I am purchasing the right components for a smooth run on my new layout project

[@LEWISDALTON460]

That is one of my favourite loco , stunning model

[@kodibellchambers1290]

Love the video! I'm curious do you know if there's room to fit a stay alive in this model?

[@class158productions]

Nice format and review

[@NewJunction]

Thanks!

[@Fred-Wilbury]

Hey I love the intro I could have watched that a lot more just what I like .... looks a good bit of kit ...seems strange to think I’d watch them shunting in our rail works yard then all these years later now playing trains ....although I don’t have an 08 yet .....regards Fred

[@NewJunction]

That sounds like something that needs to be rectified Fred! ;)

[@chefblanc]

tested one of these at local model shop and thought straight away how much better the sound is from Hornbys original 3.5 08s.. Love one but it will have to be a respray or a body swop as the DB red is a bit to modern .. funny choice.. why didn't they do a blue!!

[@daviemaclean61]

Looks good at slow speed and I'm sure a small adjustment is all that's required to get that coupling to line up correctly

[@NewJunction]

To be fair I shouldn't have used a Hornby engine with a Bachman wagon. :D

[@douglasallen511]

@@NewJunction "To be fair " ? Shouldn't any brand of loco couple correctly with any other brand of wagon?

[@ChapelEndJunctionUK]

Very good intro. on this video and excellent review , yes I like the new format and looking forward to more . Cheers.......Peter

[@NewJunction]

Glad you enjoyed it Peter, regards Richard

[@MarkCroucherRC4fun]

Enjoyed your delivery have subscribed

[@NewJunction]

Great stuff Mark!

[@MarkCroucherRC4fun]

Checking out your previous videos

[@samodelrail6976]

Well done. Like the new format.

[@NewJunction]

Thanks!

[@SouthWesternModeller]

Nice video Richard and lovely loco!

[@NewJunction]

Thanks Jamie!

[@ScottishNSRailFan]

Approaching 300 locos in collection and still without an 08. After your review, will seek out at least one. Have you replaced the speaker?

[@bigfella1952]

Nice informative video

[@tsrail9244]

And great video as always

[@NewJunction]

Thanks!

[@GalgormHall]

Love the title sequence and name for the new series. You seem to have captured a slightly different approach to what others do in reviewing the stock. What better choice is there than an 08 to kick the series off, every layout should have one although mine doesn't! Paul

[@NewJunction]

Galgorm Hall OO Gauge Railway Layout take your own advice Paul haha Regards Richard

[@Mattslade6024]

good vid. Hornby have done a great job on this loco. the only thing it need is a new speaker to make the sound better

[@thebritfarmer]

Nice loco., not my era but hopefully we'll see a TTS version in a 1980s guise. Love the intro too !!

[@NewJunction]

If nothing else a stand alone TTS chip for the class 08 would be nice!

[@class66]

Is a must for a body swop project!! Can't believe hornby are churning out faffy lima 66s in every colour imaginable and yet havnt done blue 56 or tts 08s in other liverys!!!! Get ya act together simon k!!

[@Anthony.1967]

Sounds good looks a nice 08 I have the class 92 in the same livery enjoyed the video

[@NewJunction]

Now that's one class I don't have, must keep my eyes peeled! Richard

[@BearwoodWestYard]

Great video Richard! Reviews are always hard work but its definitely paid off. I look forward to the upcoming videos in the series :D Jordan

[@NewJunction]

Hardy-Rail / Bearwood West Yard Thanks Jordan!

[@davidcurrie8564]

Hi Whats the music please sounds great!

[@paulbaker916]

Very enjoyable video.

[@NewJunction]

Paul Baker thanks Paul!

[@stewartatkinson4179]

Great video!

[@NewJunction]

Thanks

[@NickSilverstein]

What song is that in the Intro? I love it!

[@TrainSpotter-nh2yp]

Great video! Does TTS sound require DCC?

[@NewJunction]

Yes & its well worth converting, super simple too!

[@TrainSpotter-nh2yp]

OK, thanks!

[@derekarnold167]

Loco looks good, I have a Hornby 08417 yellow one, the push rods are much wider and so the loco will not pass through my station is yours the same?

[@NewJunction]

Hi Derek, I'll be honest I've not checked...

[@DeanPark]

Nice titles! What software is that on? Good stuff with the review too! Dave

[@NewJunction]

DaveClass47 software?

[@DeanPark]

yes those titles.....the fading out of the light etc

[@NewJunction]

I'm with you, its simply a 'cartoon' effect on my phone video editing software, really nothing special. :) You can answer my request now ;-) Richard

[@DeanPark]

your request?

[@davidstrains4910]

Great intro it looks like a nice model what will it be doing on your layout

[@NewJunction]

The joy with this livery is it can be on the 'old' & 'new' parts and still fit, most likely a shunter on the heritage line for me. Richard

[@greghale9972]

Great little loco, I think the sound is fine. Diesel locomotives seem to have more realistic sound than steam locos. Quite often with steam locos the "chuff chuff" is not always in sync with the speed of the loco. Cheers Greg

[@NewJunction]

Your dead right Greg! Steam sounds don't bother me but upset a lot of modellers :D regards Richard

[@andrewcollins6525]

What brand points are you using. Ive had to switch to peco as my hornby ones are terrible for derailing

[@NewJunction]

I've had to switch the Peco much to my annoyance, that said the new station I'm creating was forced upon me because of the issues. :)

[@andrewcollins6525]

New Junction do you know the track spacing fir peco code 100. Seems different to hornby setrack and im having to rethink everything

[@LondonEmergency999]

3rd nice end of the week in a row!

[@NewJunction]

They'll be a few more like it too! ;-)

[@nigelcarter9503]

Good review.

[@NewJunction]

Thanks Nigel!

[@PenyghentProductions]

not to be rude but how much is that because I have been searching everywhere for it and just asking how much is the shutter DB

[@NewJunction]

Deltic Warrior Not rude at all, it's around £130-140.

[@howarth004]

Deltic Warrior Looks good and the sound is very good for TTS

[@jmprailwatcher3081]

Great video! How did you make the intro/outro?

[@NewJunction]

Its just an effect on my phone video editor, nothing special :D

[@JamesWilliams-ws3ic]

The intro and outro are a bit weird but apart from that an amazing video.

[@NewJunction]

Ha! It keeps it interesting at least

[@drewliszka4186]

I like the sounds mate but the there is no depth to it its very tinny hope an after market speaker could add more but i do like the model great livery . And good work with the new format .

[@NewJunction]

Hi Drew, I'll let you have a go at squeezing a new speaker into the shell hehe Richard

[@drewliszka4186]

my local model shop has fitted two in on on the front of the motor and a small sugar cube low level in the cab then fitted light and a driver ouch hard work for small fingers .....

[@PenyghentProductions]

Ok thx

[@latestapplevlogs6515]

Are you going to put your virgin east coast trains in LNER livery

[@NewJunction]

Latest apple Vlogs you never know. :-)

[@tsrail9244]

Nice intro

[@SuperWHIZZO]

Come on Hornby , lets have a green one with wabbie stripes ! T.T.S. sound on this one might destroy the sound buff snootiness , out there ,as its most convincing.Betters many of the sound files on the sacred E.S.U. chip for this locomotive ,to my ears.

[@NewJunction]

They do get better & better!

[@TheSystemofajack]

Nice Vid Mate, My Boi Eduardo Reccomended this shizzle. Tell him he needs to change his clothes everyday, You'll be a babe

[@SimonLivertonCentral]

Very nice review, I am trying to decide if I should buy one, I can get one for £129. I have the older Hornby Class 08 with the Loksound version 3.5 sound decoder...Simon

[@NewJunction]

You wont be disappointed if you do! :)

[@suffolkpompey]

Good video, but as is the case now with all manufacturers it's over detailed. Detailed underframes and paintwork I can live with, but when you consider the distance that most locos are viewed from I can't for the life of me see what use an opening door and sprung buffers are. All it does is add to the price. I also noticed that the coupling hangs too low and didn't couple up to the wagon, which for a shunting loco is not acceptable. Sorry to ramble on but this typifies now the attitude of the manufacturers, all geared towards the collector rather than the modeler who just wants to run trains. I bet you didn't get much change out of £100 neither, just for an 0-6-0 loco.

[@NewJunction]

Hi Mike, I'll be honest I wasn't expecting that as a criticism, I'd say the opposite more detail/quality is required especially to justify higher prices. Also the use of HD & 4K cameras for things like KZbin sadly really show up a lacking tooling. Regards Richard
