NewTri-ang Railways & Hornby Dublo Items With Light Maintenance

[@RonnyTheEngineer]

My favorite is the 3 rail version of Hornby Dublo. They are amazing. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@SveinArne66]

No!!! Not dull at all!!! Keep on doing this!!

[@IanMASSIE-r4v]

Hi Oscar , when dismantling items with lots of small parts I have found it useful to place a cat litter tray on my bench and do all the work over the tray. This stops items bouncing away onto the floor. If you choose a brightly coloured tray the colour contrast makes small parts easier to see. Many thanks for the pleasure I have had from watching your excellent films

[@oscarpaisley]

Hi, thanks for watching that sounds like a great idea to keep it all bits and pieces together. Glad you enjoyed the video. All the best . Oscar

[@michaelstaley2241]

Hi Oscar ; lovely iconic railway..

[@mikeking2539]

Class 20s' were often used on passenger trains as well as freight and perhaps engeneers trains. Some are still in use today, they would often be coupled together in pairs nose to nose (E.G. with the cabs at the outer ends) this was to increase the power available, as well as to give better visability of signals etc. They have been used 'Top and Tail' on RHTT (Rail Head Treatment Trains) during the Autumn, to combat the effects of leaves on the line,.

we know all this.

Thanks for entertaining Sunday morning with coffee and now breakfast.

[@ChrisSM1679]

Hello Oscar! Your layout looks amazing and you have done a wonderful job on the tank loco. Cheers!

[@l1a146]

Hello Oscar, I am a new convert from modern built OO. Having recently started getting more into dublo 3 rail and just dipped a toe in the water with wrenn. No Triang .... yet. But I am having fun with nice simple trains again after years of always trying to keep up with the latest and greatest. Im Slowly working my way through your catalogue of videos and have learned so much. Personally I loved watching you strip down that 2-6-2 and resurrect the old girl. It really is great fun.

[@oscarpaisley]

Hi, thank you for watching it's terrific to hear you're enjoying these videos and the older model railway items, definitely plenty of fun to be had. All the best. Oscar

[@roystudds1944]

Hi Oscar. Just caught up on the second half of the video. Excellent as always and a great example of your patience and problem solving ability. Thanks again for sharing. Roy.

[@stevenperry7493]

Thanks Oscar another enjoyable video to start Sunday morning .😊

[@oscarpaisley]

Glad you enjoyed it. Oscar

[@rodericfindlay4147]

Excellent. A very enjoyable maintenance and running session. The elevated station has a certain amount of atmosphere. It works really well.

[@cameronpatterson1045]

Good morning to you Oscar from Glasgow another great video 📹 from you I've got the New Hornby L.N.E.R LOCOMOTIVE Prince of Wales and LORD PREADNNT THANKS AGAIN for the video

[@oscarpaisley]

Morning Cameron, great items for your collection, thanks again for looking in it's much appreciated. Take care. Oscar

[@Jimyjames73]

Hello Oscar - Your Layout is looking really good now 🙂 @ 8:48 I have a similar Loco - a BR 2-6-4T Fowler Class 4P No. 42334 - it has a slightly larger Coal box at the back - probably why it has 4 wheels at the back to support the extra weight!!! 🙂 🚂🚂🚂

[@oscarpaisley]

Hello Jimyjames thanks for watching glad you like the way the railway is coming together.. All the best. Oscar

[@playpaulbee]

Thanks Oscar, I really need a black 2-6-2! The Class 20 as you say was designed as a freight mover, and not having the dreadful steam heating boiler probably added to it's excellent availability, it did however have through steam heat piping so it could, when in multiple, with a boiler fitted loco work passenger, and of course in summer, where in theory, heating wasn't always required. There is plenty of footage of 20's working passenger, sometimes singly or in pairs as is normal. A great machine outliving by decades some of the other attempts at a type 1 locomotive.

[@oscarpaisley]

Thanks Paul for the great information, I think there's an excuse here to try and get a second model... All the best. Oscar

[@playpaulbee]

or even see if you could convert your original 20 into a dummy loco, like Wrenn did.

[@tonybarfield5148]

Class 20 Locomotives are mainly for freight work. Mainly seen on Merry Go Around coal trains, before being replace by class 56 , 58 & later Brush Class 60 diesels in 1980's. There are still are still class 20's in use in 21st century for stock transfer work. Class 20's main passenger work was seaside trains to Skegness.

[@oscarpaisley]

Good evening Tony, thanks again for watching and the great information. Take care. Oscar

[@donniblanco5239]

Perfick Utilisation of Available parts to keep those old Girls running and performing to the best of their ability and Great tips about those old motors being Noisy - Great Vid & Thanks for Sharing. Cheers Oscar 👍🏻

[@oscarpaisley]

Thanks again Donni great to hear you enjoyed the video. Take care. Oscar

[@petertate5741]

Tinplate sounds amazing running round .👍

[@roystudds1944]

Wow Oscar. An epic episode. I’m half way through so haven’t seen the outcome of your reconstruction. I’ll have to watch the rest later. Running late today as it’s my birthday. Thanks for sharing. Roy.

[@oscarpaisley]

Good morning Roy hope you enjoyed your birthday. Take care. Oscar

[@Steven_Rowe]

Another brilliant video of your railway.. The before and after demo of the 262 tank was amazing. I'm curious why you have a giant letter Y on the wall.

[@TheShadman47]

Great long video!

[@davidstrains4910]

Great video here Oscar, some nice additions there and really good overview of the 2-6-2 tank.

[@oscarpaisley]

Thank you again David glad you enjoyed the look over this iconic model tank locomotive from Tri-ang. All the best. Oscar

[@PaulinesPastimes]

It's such a lottery with Tri-ang motors. Some of them are noisy and some are quiet and I don't know why. I have been inspired by Mr Snooze to fit a ball race rear bearing to one and it made it run as smooth as silk but it is still noisy in my 08 shunter. The body shape seems to be the perfect echo chamber. Always satisfying to resurrect a neglected model.😊

[@oscarpaisley]

Good morning Pauline, thanks again for looking and I know what you mean about the motors, some models they run quiet and others they do not, switching one motor to another body can get quite different results. Great to hear you made the ball race conversion on one of your motors. That level of engineering is still something I find very daunting to take on at present especially with the tools and equipment currently available to me. All the best. Oscar

[@PaulinesPastimes]

@@oscarpaisley The conversion was easier than I expected but still scary.

[@shedhead00]

Hi Oscar, Triang hornby spares have replacement front and back bearings for the x04 /03 motors , I've found the locomotives run a lot quieter, plus the morley controller's make a difference in motor noise.

[@oscarpaisley]

Good morning, thank you again for watching and the information. Much appreciated. Take care. Oscar

[@martinhall60]

Good morning Oscar, it's Martin from Hull in the East Riding of Yorkshire. Just watched your latest video and as always very interesting and informative. It was very interesting to see how so much better your tank engine motor ran after you had cleaned the wheels ect , and so quiet as well. A job well done. 👍 It was very interesting to see the new canopy that you had printed Oscar, your 3D printer is an amazing piece of kit. To be able to print items that are probably hard to find nowadays, like chimneys, canopies ect, is really amazing. Could you print a full station building or maybe a locomotive body ? And I love your tin plate coaches Oscar, I love the blood and custard color of them, I love that period of British Railways history, circa 1950s. Your elevated section looks great Oscar. Well I am going to make a cup of tea and a toasted tea cake as usual 🙂👍 stay safe Oscar, have a good week and ill see you on your next video Oscar. 🙂👍🚂🚃

[@oscarpaisley]

Good morning Martin, thanks again, it's amazing the difference in the motors, some might as well very quiet until you put the body on, and then they're incredibly noisy, but can very good in another model. The 3-D printer has turned out to be quite flexible tool, it's quite good fun, but very time consuming. Thanks again, all the best. Oscar

[@mikehebdentrains]

Thanks once again Oscar - I have a similar model with many of the same issues as you found - so I now feel more confident about a bit more maintenance than I've done so far. I hadn't spotted the plastic bushes on the bogies - I'd guess these are to isolate them electrically from the main block, to prevent shorting through the couplings to anything not insulated?

[@oscarpaisley]

Good morning Mike, glad you found the information useful, lovely a bit of design this locomotive. All the best. Oscar

[@AnnSmith-u9c]

All good fun

[@PlatformONE]

I think it may've been better to have this video in two or three parts. What do you search for to be able to find old locos & stock like that?

[@robinmathews2446]

Hi Oscar, I had not realised that the Cable Drums on the depressed center wagons were not original Hornby items?? Another great job from the 3D printer.. I'm guessing that the same drums could also probably be fitted as loads on the Tri-ang well wagons too? Didn't Tri-ang have a cable drum load in their Transcontinental range once upon a time? I seem to recall 2 drums in the catalogue. As the Triang wagon may have been slightly longer than the Hornby one? The 3D printer is certainly a great tool for a model railroader to have.. You will have to have a go at making a replacement motion bracket to have on hand for repairs? I am anxious to see how the new yellow material that you have on order, will match up to the early station canopies? We tried a grey colour for a few printed sidewalls last year, but it never really came close to the same colour.. Still I'm sure that a coat of paint will match them up (when I get time)? Time is always the problem for our projects? I am amazed that all of yours seem to get finished.. Mine seldom do.. Often taking years to get done?

[@oscarpaisley]

Good afternoon Robin, I took the basic measurements for this cable drums from Cable Drums used on the Triang R.238 Depressed Center car with cable drums. From what I read these cable drums were originally part of the Minic range, I have a pair of quite old cable drums which appear to be made from the bendy acetate. I've not had a go at making any of the motion brackets yet, there are a number of sellers online now with reproductions 3-D printed which look quite promising, it's getting the fine slot to suspend the metalwork from which I see is the problematic bit. Thanks again for watching all the best. Oscar

[@robinmathews2446]

Yes, I assumed that thin slot would be the difficult part? From our experience with a 3D printer such small openings can be very difficult? I have never seen the large Tri-ang Cable Drums in real life and did not realise that is where yours were influenced? Great job as usual.. I have just been reading the od "Triang- The first ten years" book that I had bought back when it was new. Truly a wonderful product? Cheers, Robin

[@spongatejunction]

The Class 20s were used especially on weed killing trains in the late 1980s to the early 90s

[@croydontramcabrides9767]

IT'S BETTER TO LEAVE THE MOTOR OFF UNTIL THE VALVE GEAR HAS BEEN REBUILT AND TESTED FOR CLEARANCE AND FREE RUNNING.

[@PlatformONE]

What's the approximate gradient?

[@oscarpaisley]

Hi, gradient rises at approximately 3° Oscar

[@kevinsturgess1475]

👍

[@oscarpaisley]

Thanks again, Kevin. Oscar

[@mikeking2539]

Backside or Back Side is an awful American expression that I HATE, We in the UK just say Back.

[@DubloAirfix]

What I really hate is people who use capital letters for words in the middle of a sentence. Capitals should only be used when it is a proper noun. You should also use a full stop after the word hate, rather than a comma. I'm not even English and I know that. Also, it is bad grammar and impolite to use all capital letters to emphasise a word. I think this channel is a relaxing Sunday morning treat. Let's not get hung up on words and just enjoy Oscar's lovely railway.

[@gordontaylor1483]

Hi Oscar, Poor show on the tinplate carriages not turning up, sadly that is common these days however, I think you’ve scored on the new ones. Good old R59, my first train hiding on top of the wardrobe pre Christmas 1957. Good troubleshooting on the pickup and cross bracket. I am now inspired to get the old beast out and give it a bit of TLC. Decals and lining are not the best ☹️ Great video as always. Gordon

[@PeterYeadon-js7ou]
