Hornby 0-6-0T Class 3F "Jinty" : Donation Overhaul

[@YsanneOshea]

A prerequiste of any model railway, a Hornby Jinty or a Pannier tank. Cheap to buy, robust and easy to service and run. Really enjoyed watching that! Thank you for everything you do to make the modelling hobby even more approachable and much less daunting!

[@PaulinesPastimes]

The perky little Jinty is always a pleasure to watch. I think it's excellent proportions make it such an essential loco. These later versions with the improved styling and type 7 motor seem to be quite good. Nice repair. 😊

[@peternorris6438]

Another good repair I have a couple of very old jinny tank engines still run well

[@jeffreysmith156]

It is quite a quiet runner.

[@rogergaspar709]

I always enjoy your videos. Fascinating. But I think it is also worth saying your continued work on the layout is going very well. The layout in operation is looking great.

[@jonnyt7435]

Hi Bill Another great video , I’ve learned so much from watching your videos and about to watch the latest instalment! I’m travelling up to Falkirk from Cumbria, hope to see you at the exhibition. Keep up the fantastic videos !

[@stephendavies6949]

A sound, old-school fix to the step problem. Who needs a 3D printer? One of my 2 Jinty's is so old that it won't run on anything other than Triang Super 4 track, due to the depth of it's wheel flanges. PS: Re-motored Flying Scotsman continues to run excellently. Thank you!

[@chrissharp5073]

Looking good Bill. Excellent tutorial on how to service a loco, very effective and making it a nice little runner. The layout itself has come a long way and a great way to display your locos. Thank you for sharing

[@dinmorejunctionmodelrailway]

Excellent work, Bill. From scrap to new. I can't believe that locomotive wouldn't move to free running and quiet.

[@monsvillerailways5736]

Nice work bill. I have that model in my collection so it's good to see your service. Recently I picked up a Hornby Pannier Tank that didn't run. Taking the underplate off revealed exactly what you found. She was Drowned in oil. There is a difference between lubrication and drowning. . Looking forward to see more progress on the layout. Happy Modelling Mon

[@thestocktonflyer4059]

Nice to see you back bill . Great video my friend.

[@steveambler7985]

Enjoyed the service on the jinty will help if i need to maintain the four you serviced for me which are now in excellent condition thanks again steve

[@vikingsmb]

glass fibre pens are good for cleaning the pickups and T cut as well,

[@robertmarsh3588]

A lovely loco and a decent runner now too. I always think that a 0-6-0 tank is a fabulous basis for any model railway. As a GWR/WR fan for me that means a Pannier but the Jinty is another great example of such. There isn't really a diesel equivalent. An 08 wouldn't be seen on a passenger train and a DMU wouldn't haul a freight or do shunting. Maybe something like a class 25 comes closest? Lovely as they are, I still prefer a Pannier though.

[@petersmith4455]

hi Bill, great video. i have 3 of the later jinties with the brass worm drive [ much better],all were bought when they were 25 pounds each,now the clowns at hornby will charge 75 pounds when the next batch come out,

Bill is my go to railway Bob Ross!

[@barrytillman2818]

Bill does you wife know you’ve nicked the towel from the downstairs loo 😂😂

[@peternorris6438]

Railway looking good

[@marcdempsey5850]

Another excellent video; nice step by step and instructional video as always. The layout is coming along slowly and looks fantastic. I sometimes miss the original layout but this is superb. Thanks Bill; all best Marc from Leighton Buzzard

[@glennwoods2462]

Some great camera angles towards the end, there.... Your layout is looking fantastic, well done... 👍👍🙂🙂✅✅🇳🇿🇳🇿

[@daviemaclean61]

I have the very same Jinty. I'll follow your video when it's servicing time. Cheers

[@rikmorley6469]

Ewww bogging loco Bill, another nice fix 👌

[@peterm7548]

Nice job Bill. The black BR Jinty was one of the first locos I had as a boy! Today I have one in LMS livery and one in Somerset and Dorest colours. Absolutely love them and agree that everyone should have a Jinty regardless of where their layout is meant to be located!

[@stephendavies6949]

I've got 2 Triang Jinty's (they of the non-flanged middle wheels variety), one of which won't run on anything but old Super 4 track due to the size of the wheel flanges! Nice little locos though.

[@donniblanco5239]

Nice Swag! - Sounds and Runs Excellent - All my Jinties (X03’s) Make a Racket 🎧 tho I Serviced a Type Seven in a GWR Tank recently, that Runs So smooth and Quiet Now - Big up to Steve 👏🏻 and Congrats on your New Jinty 🚂🚞🚞💨💨

[@rogervipond]

Yet another inspirational video, Bill. We'll worth another Kofi! Love the way you made the new steps using plasticine and epoxy resin. Could you tell us the name of the epoxy product you used, please? I wonder, could the same technique work with more 3 dimensional pieces, by "burying" the original in a lump of plasticine, then slicing the lump in two to extract the original part, reassembling the two halves, then pushing a rod into the plasticine to enable the epoxy to flow into the void?

[@oobill]

I just used a fast setting Araldite. It wouldn't be impossible to do what you suggest but I suspect it would be very hit and miss. The process you describe was done by sand casting traditionally. It's how most cast iron objects were made. It was my father's family trade back in Industrial times in Salford.

[@DJ_K666]

I got a maroon one, no 16440 for my 6th birthday as the Country Local set, with two clerestory coaches and I still have it. It needs its front wheel set re-quartered and loctited but once that's done itll be good to go. Not bad for a 37 year old loco...

[@williamscates3915]

Would be better to remove the old plastic bush and put a new one in, that way no nasty glue is relied on and its as per original design with only a good shove/clamp to get it firm in. I think Bill has done one on this channel, an R257 Schools Class, but either way a new bush will do better than a gluey degraded old one

[@DJ_K666]

@@williamscates3915 yeah maybe. I'll have a look on Peters Spares if he has any.

[@ciaranburke3243]

Nice one again bill, runs very nice 👏

[@bigmac60]

Nice repair.

[@bobsmodelrailways]

Fab!

[@roberthocking9138]

Nice work Bill

[@MarcNaylor]

Hi Bill I love your videos and always enjoy watching them I have a Bachman Daylight locomotive which I bought and wondered if you would have a look at it for me please? I suspect that the quartering may be off as it jerks when power is applied but then goes no further. This is beyond me and I would rather you look at it as I would probably damage it! If you could look at it I would be incredibly grateful. Very best wishes Marc

[@oobill]

Click on the FAQ link in the description. It's unlikely I will be able to look at the loco for a while as I have a lot scheduled but I do make exceptions for anything unusual or something that would make a good video subject.

[@MarcNaylor]

@@oobill Thank you for your reply. Would you like me to send you the loco? If you see it and think it would make a good video then you can, or, if not, then I will leave it with you until you can fit it in. Very best wishes Marc
