Opening the Class 50 by Hornby

[@EverardJunction]

Another great review mate For those wondering what the livery issues are, see below... The loco numbers on the side are too big The red stripe is too narrow The yellow ends are far too dark, looks out of place when parked next to another diesel. However the model is fantastic and the errors can be sorted out with a partial respray. It's also worth mentioning that the spinning fan can cause severe running issues when the model has been used for a few months.

[@DTChapman1]

I just bought one from a model exhibition a week ago. Weathered and it was called 'Superb'. Showy much.

[@br60066]

Great review good to see the class 50 back. The class 60 is a really good model as well. The detail and power of it will blow you away.

[@mirageinthedesert5448]

This model looks beautiful

[@JD1611]

Based on the original review alone I searched for a Class 50 'Dauntless' at the sort of price you paid for the best part of 4 years, glad to say I finally found one and it really is something special, thanks for the review Will, this and the original one.

[@pepperthekobold]

I've never seen a chassis mounted NEM pocket before and the motor/mechanism is very impressive too. I can see why this model got full marks. It's amazing how far Hornby, and model rail in general, has come in my lifetime. N gauge especially in the last couple of years, since Bachmann took over Graham Farish

[@Thunderbolt3021]

I just watched the first 5 minutes and i want that train for my layout !

[@mirutanable]

i haven't seen thee original review coz it was taken down, but i have been waiting quite a long time for this and i must say i'm happy to see it

[@BritishRailways60163]

Awesome locos the 50s, even though I've had bad luck with the lights & fan, lol, they run so smoothly & are nice & quiet, & loads of power! Great redone review!

[@liftylu]

I’ve actually seen a class 50 in this colour scheme, think it was 50 006 at Swanage Railway. The colours work very well in my opinion.

[@brandondavis-white3352]

Excellent review on class 50,that model looks excellent with those NSE coaches.Top marks on review will

[@bjoe385]

Seen one in my local model shop in BR blue, I want one.

[@julianwhitbred7070]

Yes! A new video! Just the one I wanted!

[@julianwhitbred7070]

Watching this made me obsessed with the class 50.

[@bjoe385]

The class 50 is a great locomotive, it’s one of my favourite.

[@2TATrains]

Really nice Class 50. There really good value for money!

[@Jacktoro44]

I don't have any diesels on my railway apart from a Bachmann class 03 shunter (which I highly recommend, It has cab lights!) so this would be a great model for my railway.

[@SecondValveSteam]

Good video Will, any more Heritage Railway visits planned, I know your very busy but it would be nice to see lines like Nene Valley, Butterly, Kieghly, East Lancs or even Crewe Heritage Centre on the Channel. Great Video, Cameron

[@jacobporrett]

Fantastic video well done.

[@figleydale3915]

I love how angry the window wipers look XD

[@sohailanjum1439]

Yes its most beautiful boss I love it

[@JD1611]

I've been trying to find this for a reasonable price since you uploaded the original review, no luck so far, if it hadn't been for the review I probably wouldn't have thought of trying to get it :)

[@phuckwangsho1832]

Amazing

[@starshine_2850]

you should get the heljan class 57 pendennis castle in first great western liverery its amazing

[@sohailanjum1439]

It's most beautiful I love it

[@CallingAllStations]

Just bought a Class 50 based on this review! Excellent model, managed to get hold of the weathered version 50 002 (rather ironically called 'Superb') at a good price as they seem to be hard to get hold of now. I usually buy Bachmann now but this is a fine effort from Hornby - if only everything they did was of such high quality. And you're right everything down to the packaging of this model is a cut above what they usually achieve. My only one criticism is that the couplings on the rear of the loco often lock up on curves. I think it's getting caught on the buffers, oddly doesn't happen the other end of the loco. Anyone find this?

[@InterCity82]

Nice!!

[@belfastbusfan]

Hornby is generally better than Bachmann money wise for the people who don't have much they can buy the. cheapo models and weather it and add some details and make it more realistic and then their hornby premium models are forth people who love excellent models amd can afford them

[@PeakeyFortySix]

Great vid mate, keep them up!

[@LB91119]

That is the best Hornby box because the loco won't get damaged

[@Cerebro1983uk]

The class 50s are one of my favourite diesel electric locos. Can you do the class 35 HYMEK / 42 WARSHIP / 52 WESTERN and a Beyer-Garratt.

[@Matthewmodeller229]

1. The blue is too light, the grey is too dark and the red stripe is a little too thick. 2. Why are loco mounted couplings better than bogie mounted ones? 3. What was the black thing that fell out just before looking at the NEM couplings? 4.That shot at 19:13 would look amazing with two long trains passing eachother in opposite directions going at high speed. 5. Morley Controllers are worth a look at. I've got a four track model called the Vortrak which is DC, but they do DCC ones too.

[@GreyTheFloydianSergal]

also, I think you should get a Dapol class 22. I've got one after years of saving up after the model's announcement

[@Nathan_A_RF]

Great! You did the Class 50! I've been wanting you to do this becasue I love the NSE livery. It's so striking. This is the first video of this loco on your channel though

[@jacobwilson5468]

Another great Review InterCity82 . Well done. I am looking forward to watching your next Review in the IC82 Series 4 Reviews Series. Do you know when you are going to Upload your next Video, and what it will be InterCity82 .?

[@LB91119]

Waw the fan spins :O

[@Matty_98]

Network SouthEast had two liveries that look the same but with some minor changes

[@GreyTheFloydianSergal]

keep an eye on the fan mechanism as it can over-tax the motor. I don't have one but hornby premium diesels do have a reputation

[@lukestrainsandengines4014]

A nice looking hoover

[@Swifty11Productions]

Personally Hornbys locos aren't my first choice as usually they are lazy on the tooling (class 90, class 87) but there super detailed models really do give Bachmann a run for there money and this is certainly model I like!

[@RealTylerBell]

some people say they hate the fan because it "to nosily" , but then they want more realistic trains. what your thought on the fans ?

[@Reefy1952mereman]

Another great videos. I'd also love to know how the ngauge project is going, being a n gauger myself.

[@kyleneale9451]

you should put the class 67 with Keith hetla

[@chelmswoodjunction]

hi will once again a great video mate you can not beat the class 50 but i will agree with richard from everard junction that the livery does need looking at by hornby but hey ho they have done a good job on this loco peter essex

[@Matthewmodeller229]

Yes.

[@phuckwangsho1832]

You should see how many wagons it could pull

[@samcooke-thomas4786]

thats amazing your the best at this kinda stuff :)

[@AmtrakandAWVRFan]

Where is the N gauge project part 4? I thought it's up this weekend.

[@adventureswithh7685]

i have a class 50 by hornby (50 002 superb)

[@rossmallwood7523]

Before watching this video I didn't like the class 50 but Know I love them

[@drs66412]

Oh ignore my comment didn't watch that far when you mention the buffers

[@Locomotore99]

If the loco needs oil to be added to it, not the easiest of tasks, and TLC to get it running well, is it fair to give it it perfect marks? I would expect a perfect loco to be ready to impress me right out of the box. Hello from Toronto.

[@davidsweeney111]

great review as per, have there been any recent n-gauge vids that Ive missed ?

[@trainboy3801]

Nice train

[@drs66412]

What happned to the buffers at 1 end?

[@Trainmaster909]

You could renumber the locomotive to its original BR road numbers

[@thomasyoung3875]

Hey will great loco. Can you please review a 4mt steam loco thanks

[@Ryan871]

Wheres the buffers on one end?

[@0llieM142]

can you do a review on the lego layout??? ide like that!

[@oliversinton948]

Can you fit a sound decoder?

[@Xantec]

you want a BR Blue LARGE LOGO livery, (the nicest BR livery ever made)

[@joshburdall8357]

what happened to the dcc sidings

[@TomCrippsTrains]

Wheres the front buffers?!

[@BritishRailways60163]

50 011 Centurion is the one I have :)

[@fireglo450music]

Looking at the livery on the real things, I think the blue on this model is just a tad too bright/light.

[@OverthrownEvan]

can you run the coaches with it

[@sohailanjum1439]

Sir I need this model you have shop adress

[@captianconnorusafbr03.65]

Lionel trains started that design. I believe.

[@SecondValveSteam]

Secondly, is it just me, or do the ends look at little like a cross face? reply and tell me what you think!

[@christopherblum7871]

As Hornby no longer make this model, do you know of any good place where I could buy one, other than eBay

[@julianwhitbred7070]

The fans spin on the class 50 too.

[@Jacktoro44]

Does hornby still make these and if not where can I get one?

[@mentalhotchilli]

Quality.....

[@robbiegrant5729]

Buffers ?

[@MrSmokin123]

it was built from the same place I was born

[@jontymarsh0463]

hi Will, Graham farish are making a how lot of Network southeast in n gauge. Jonty

[@bjoe385]

If you want to run it realistically, run it at 0.588 meters per second. That’s 100 miles per hour in 00 gauge.

[@edwardjb1021]

the buffers ARE missing from one end

[@sirbraddingham]

Could you do a live steam review please

[@phuckwangsho1832]

Just to say there is a weathered version in sandjmodel.co

[@riccardod441]

Bro. Can a job for me can do a class158 In central train

[@AnabolicKet]

You can see why it got full marks

[@johngarland6782]

Hey will I have a British rail blue class 50 called revenge (50 020)

[@GYRUSS]

How can a company like Hornby muck something as important as the livery so badly. The rivet counters will not like it at all.

[@Helloworld089]

ummm only 360p. anyone else have this?

[@cherrymi1640]

Well, some of it is accurate.

[@phuckwangsho1832]

100th comment, I am going to get a BR blue one 50 018.

[@Italkgadget]

Where do u love I'm in the north west

[@vinnygeorge2447]

GET A 611 PLES

[@tombranchline6858]

A quality model you have there! She runs so smoothly! For a more advanced DCC controller I would recommend the NCE PowerCab, it's not too hard to use ans is very good! Can you check out my channel please?

[@julianwhitbred7070]
