Hi Oscar l have been watching your site on my big tele for a couple of years and have been unable to make a comment except for a like. I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos and thank you for sharing.

[@oscarpaisley]

Good morning Robert thanks for watching and taking the time to comment, it's very much appreciated, great to hear you've been enjoying the videos and seeing these Tri-ang Hornby items in action. Take care. Oscar

[@michaelstaley2241]

Iconic locomotives I own three of them excellent Oscar fabulous content and background music..

[@gordontaylor1483]

Hi Oscar, Stunning couple of Coronations and coaches. Some really nice low level shots in the opening sequence. The running session with both trains towards the end of the video is what playing trains is all about. Thanks again, Gordon

[@oscarpaisley]

Good morning Gordon glad you enjoyed the video, the running at the end was great fun! Although it's a lot more fun we're not using a camera at the same time. Thanks again for the kind words, take care. Oscar

Hi Oscar, really cool looking steam engines. Great model rail video 👍👍😀Have a great weekend.Greetings, Martin 🙋‍♂🚉🚂🚆

[@oscarpaisley]

Thank you Martin glad you enjoy the video with the great looking coronations. Take care. Oscar

[@ChrisSM1679]

Hello Oscar! Two fantastic locomotives! Another great Sunday watching your video.

[@oscarpaisley]

Thank you Cristian glad you enjoyed seeing this pair of model coronations in action. Take care. Oscar

[@eddyweller4503]

Morning Oscar, you've got two fantastic models there, they look stunning as they weave their way through the layout. If these models were looked after then they were a great investment. Looking at the price in 1972, about £4/19/6 to now where you can pay between £100 to £130 for one in very good condition. I am not sure I could pay that much. I'm so pleased to see that you take such care and pride in these models they are so worth preserving. As always I enjoy watching and look forward each week to seeing your collection. Thanks Oscar see you on the next one take care Eddy xx

[@oscarpaisley]

Good morning Eddy thanks for watching great to hear you enjoyed seeing this pair of Coronations with their coaches in action on the railway. They really are quite beautiful items and they are rather fragile. Hopefully they will remain in great condition for the next 40 to 50 years! for someone else to enjoy in the future. Take care. Oscar

[@martinpattison1567]

They look great together and in good condition. How you store all these numbers in your head is amazing. Martin. (Thailand)

[@oscarpaisley]

Good morning Martin thank you again, glad you enjoyed seeing these terrific model locomotives in action. Take care. Oscar

[@trainsontuesday]

A pair of beautiful trains, well worth having. Alas, all I have is the maroon King George VI. I think a rake of 5 coaches would be good to have. Thank you for another great video Oscar. Regards, David.

[@oscarpaisley]

Good morning David glad you enjoyed seeing this pair in action. A rake of five really would be quite stunning... Take care. Oscar

[@greenslider]

Lovely running session Oscar. I remember ogling these in early 1970's Hornby catalogues.

[@oscarpaisley]

Hi thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed the video. There are some great images in those catalogues. Take care. Oscar

[@roystudds1944]

My usual Sunday morning fix. What a beautiful pair of trains running around together. I think you are right about 3 coaches being enough. Or that might be because that’s the optimum length of train I can run on my layout. Thanks for sharing Oscar. Always a pleasure to watch. Roy.

[@oscarpaisley]

Good evening Roy glad you enjoyed the video this morning with this pair of terrific looking model locomotives. I keep getting tempted to make the trains longer! but three always look great. Thanks again take care. Oscar

[@MrSnooze]

Hello Oscar, how great these two excellent items looked and ran today. Those red coaches look superb but the Loco looks even better. I look forward to seeing the little 4-4-0 loco running in the future. Best regards to you

[@oscarpaisley]

Good morning Mr Snooze glad you enjoyed seeing this pair of coronations in action, it really is a tremendous finish on the maroon one. Thanks again take care. Oscar

[@marksinthehouse1968]

Yes 2000/2001 for the coaches I have a train pack given to me for Christmas with a coronation Scot updated motor etc,I also have a Lima class 50 in the same livery they teosinte’s the real one as a support locomotive I believe ,great video would love a blue one ,all the best Oscar ,Mark 😊👍🏻

[@oscarpaisley]

Good morning Mark thanks for watching and the information, Coronation Scot train pack sounds like a terrific Christmas present. Take care. Oscar

[@stevenperry7493]

Thanks again Oscar for a very enjoyable video .The locos & coaches are superb & run well with the good old xo4 motor ,still my favourite motor .Makes my breakfast even more enjoyable watching your videos .Must catch up on your earlier videos .

[@oscarpaisley]

Good morning Stephen thank you again for watching it's great that you're enjoying the videos. Take care. Oscar

[@thedepot7416]

I have the maroon coronation class, love it, seeing the real one in the NRM was awesome

[@shedhead00]

Two great locomotives,

[@keithlemon457]

I have a Princess Elizabeth in the same style sleeve cover, there was not any wrap around the inner box and the plastic cracks are from having to 'force' the loco and tender from the tight fit. I bought mine around the same time -1972 - it cost me £4.95, at the time I was earning £1 a week from my paper round. I still have her and she runs perfectly - complete with 'real chuffing sound' in the tender and 'Synchrosmoke' !

[@oscarpaisley]

Good morning Keith thanks for watching and the terrific information. Great to hear your Princess Elizabeth is in excellent condition. Take care. Oscar

[@DEVILTAZ35]

These were such beautiful designs. It's a travesty the real ones were not kept.

[@marcdempsey5850]

Morning Oscar, a really enjoyable video looking back at the Coronation Class locomotives. I have the Blue “Coronation” and “Princess Alexandra” with the matching coaches, the Red “Dutchess of Hamilton” only has standard maroon LMS coaches. The red coronation Scott class are very sort after and silly prices… love the two clips at “0.58” through the point work and then “37.30” with someone enjoying the speed a little to much, racing on the railway. Lol All very best and looking forward to next video. Marc

[@oscarpaisley]

Good morning Marc, that's a great collection you have and you're right about the silly prices. It seems odd the run on the red coaches was so limited. Although the blue coaches now seem to have increasingly strong prices. Thanks for watching take care. Oscar

[@gavintempleton7264]

Terrific tutorial as always.. If you ever have enough time or patience, you recently mentioned replacing "Running Gear" on a loco. I have a Princess Class that was as new. But the reason it had never been used was due to the pistons working antagonistically. This made the engine shudder as the wheel rods on each side competed. I ended up using the motor and a different chassis. If I had known how to remove and replace the rods on the wheels it would have been a rare new engine. Maybe some day you can do that. I think there will be flanges, maybe plastic but I think there will be a danger of losing or breaking them.

[@oscarpaisley]

Good morning Gavin, I've not really done any servicing videos as there seem to be so many videos on this subject already and a wide variety of opinions on how to approach task. I do have a video, the link is below, of a strip down of a 1950s Princess R.50 that I did some time ago which you my find interesting. Thanks again take care. Oscar kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5atq3uMmLOVatk

[@gavintempleton7264]

@@oscarpaisley Hi Oscar, Thank you for replying. It's all time consuming. Yes I have seen your R50 video and it was great. I will run it again. It was rather about the Top Link. These are much altered and don't run like the old E50s. Longer and the bogie is a hazard. Like the modern Tornados etc. I've been trying to alter it. I have little experience with later Hornby configurations. Probably best to stick to the 70s and early 80s that I am used to. Do you know when they started doing this new configuration? Probably late 80s? Gavin.

[@stevenpeaketrainsandstuff3682]

Hello Oscar, really enjoyed seeing those beauties having a gallop, and the coaches look terrific. Gotta admit, I prefer the maroon, but the blue look impressive too. I don't have any of the streamlined coronations yet, maybe one day i might splurge. Steven

[@oscarpaisley]

Good morning Steven great to hear you enjoyed seeing this pair of fine looking model locomotives in action, the maroon one does look quite something with its deep varnished finish. Thanks again take care. Oscar

[@paulosman3369]

Hi Oscar Great session with the streamlines, did not realise how see through the maroon one is will look at mine next service. Bit scarey when you wound up the blue one. Looking forward to seeing the rest of your l.m.s collection. Isn't it amazing how much more expensive the maroon ones are over the blue. Regards paul osman

[@oscarpaisley]

Good morning Paul glad you enjoyed the LMS Streamliners, I was quite surprised at how thin the plastic appeared to be on the maroon version. The blue one dose not seem to be translucent, maybe it was down to the type of plastic is used. Thanks again take care. Oscar

[@Jimyjames73]

Hiya @ 7:47 - Yes I saw the light coming throw the plastic & @ 8:02 - yes also I can see the 'over -print' aswell 😐. & I thought I had a lot of boxes...🙂🚂🚂🚂

[@oscarpaisley]

Hi James, I was amazed how translucent that plastic was thanks again take care. Oscar

[@transittown7891]

Nice model railway bro 😎 😊👍 love it. By the way that dark pink colour locomotive and blue colour locomotive at the start of the video look a little bit like Connor and Catlin from Thomas and Friends

Hola buenas tardes excelente video muy bueno los modelos abrazo grande

[@oscarpaisley]

Hola Miguel, gracias de nuevo, me alegro de que hayas disfrutado viendo estos fantásticos modelos de locomotoras de vapor aerodinámicas. Óscar

[@antmerritt]

Lovely vid these are nice train sets. Like the maroon set more. Runs nice too but great to see them both. I just was curious about how much these coaches cost. 🙄 oh my! Puts things into perspective! Your commitment to buying and running these old models and then filming it to share with us is very much appreciated Oscar! Keep going and I for one will keep watching. 😁👍👊😎

[@oscarpaisley]

Hi thank you again for watching I've just copied part of the reply I made to John Gibson in the comments regarding the purchase of the models which may be of interest. (The maroon LMS Coronation Scott coaches, we will just say are a silly price and it was one of those weak moments and I just bought them! The blue ones for about £15-£20 each quit silly, I got them in two lots one of which was tied up with the later Hornby Railways Blue Coronation R.685 somewhere around 2014/15 shortly after getting the R.864 Blue Coronation which was £55 which came from an event at the Shildon NRM. The maroon Coronation R.871 was offered to me for £70 by someone who knew I was looking for one in late 2018). Thank you again for watching and the kind words, take care. Oscar

[@melplows1078]

Very nice video once again Oscar very nice to watch, i still like the blue one well keep well Mel nz

Good morning Mel there's definitely something about the blue steam locomotives, they look terrific. Thanks again take care. Oscar

[@oscarpaisley]

Hi Cameron thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed the video, great to hear you have those models in your collection. Take care. Oscar

[@TRTX-em8kl]

It is great to see the streamlined coronations running. I wonder if Hornby put a little more plasticiser in the bogies of the coaches that were made in China so that they could bend them to fit metal wheels but it makes them wobble on the pivot more. They make a good train set anyway.

[@downthegaragelayout.7465]

Another great video 👍👍

[@oscarpaisley]

Hi thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed the video. Take care. Oscar

[@RobA500]

Superb pair of trains, I have grown to like the Coronation Class though I think the A4 still has the edge on them. I have the modern Dutchess of Hamilton but don't yet have any matching coaches for her as the maroon ones seem to be super crazy prices, probably now exceeding the new blue ones. Definitely a sellers market at the moment.

[@oscarpaisley]

Hi thanks Robin, glad you enjoy that. A traffic pair of models from Tri-ang Hornby, great to hear you have the Duchess of Hamilton. Coach prices definitely a bit on the steep side... Take care. Oscar

[@gavintempleton7264]

Hi Oscar, I have a loco I think from the 90s. Well after my time. It is a "Top Link", similar to the Duchess Class LMS. It seems to have a normal Ringfield tender C 1980s. The loco is a dummy and it is longer than the Hornby Princess Class that I am familiar with. The issue is the same as the modern Tornado. It derails on anything other than an outer radius on a non-incline/ decline track. I have dismantled the front bogie many times. It is not a weight problem. It lacks flexibility. Therefore coming out of an incline the bogie "takes off" and lands off the rails. Removal of the second row of bogie wheels and slackening the screw allows it to stay on the track, but it is unstable and can twist without the second row of bogie wheels. Adding small washers or tiny springs has no benefit. A longer rod to the bogie may help. The problem with a slack screw is the screw will gradually loosen and fall out. When did they change to this from the usable Princess/ Scotsman formula? It's just less bullet proof and the selling market must be tiny as it's almost an ornament without a lot of changes. Shame for such a well made thing.

[@oscarpaisley]

Hi Gavin that sounds like a curious model. Top Link and the ear beyond are out of my comfort zone! Sounds like a great item, but maybe made just for static display. Take care. Oscar

[@gavintempleton7264]

[@davidstrains4910]

Great video there Oscar both of those trains looked great, those made in China coaches looked fantastic and the quality and extra details is very noticeable compared to the British coaches, the thinking’s that they Chinese ones have compared to the British ones makes them far better for me, one good example is the metal wheels which don’t get dirty as quickly as plastic ones do and they run a lot smoother.

[@oscarpaisley]

Good morning David thanks again for watching glad you enjoyed seeing that pair of trains. The wheels on those maroon coaches do run very smoothly, I was very surprised at how well they dealt with my truck work. Take care. Oscar

Hi there Oscar ,, How much are the maroon and blue coronation engines if average to good condition cost ? That if ya dont mind me asking .. Also how much roughly would the lms cars worth each or do you have to buy them in a set ,, and finally what does the LMS stand for. Both of them locos are really good looking and in really good nic , also what year where these first brought ie the coronation loco's. I cant stop thanking you enough for a putting these video's you post as there awesome.. Cheers from John in Australia

[@oscarpaisley]

Good morning John, L.M.S. was the London, Midland and Scottish Railway. The maroon LMS Coronation Scott coaches, we will just say are a silly price and it was one of those weak moments and I just bought them! The blue ones for about £15-£20 each quit silly, I got them in two lots one of which was tied up with the later Hornby Railways Blue Coronation R.685 somewhere around 2014/15 shortly after getting the R.864 Blue Coronation which was £55 which came from an event at the Shildon NRM. The maroon Coronation R.871 was offered to me for £70 by someone who knew I was looking for one in late 2018. Both Coronations in the video were available in the shops in the early 1970s the blue one being released first in 1970 and the maroon on following in 71 I think they had both been dropped from the catalogue by 1974. There may have been a number of coronation Scott Train packs/sets over the years by Hornby although these would be in the 80s and 90s and 2000s, which is the period the coaches I have were made. Thanks again for watching hope the information was off some help. Oscar

@@oscarpaisley yes very helpful indeed ,, jeez sum times i wished i lived in the uk as the prices for the trains over there are quite reasonable compared to here in oz.

Those boxes where never meant to last 50 years Ive had a few of these George VIs making good ones out of two.. the body is so fragile it really was a bad design... as the chassis was essentially a re-engineered Flying Scotsman without the illuminating firebox glow

[@michaelchester8997]

How much would you expect to pay for a blue coronation loco?

[@oscarpaisley]

Hi Michael it's a difficult question to answer. They come up for sale at all prices but as an average for one in very nice condition they seem to be approaching the £100 mark. Oscar
