To me Sam, a wonderful loco that performs well, and not too expensive for the basic model...Thanks again for your in depth review...Bob

[@clivebulmer5225]

Thank's for your humorous, "Mutton-Dressed-As-Lamb" review! You are spot-on with your overall comments about Model Railways as a Hobby in general. I became "Addicted" to the hobby just three years ago, and yes, this can be an expensive hobby - if you don't control your spending!! I think Hornby Class 4F with TTS Sound represents good value for money, given what I have paid for new and second-hand models from retailers and on ebay!!! An interesting video Sam - keep up the good work!!!!

[@SamsTrains]

haha thanks Clive, glad you liked that! Yep I'd agree with that - we've definitely seen worse from Hornby! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@Chris9017]

An Oldie but goodie. :) I enjoyed the last review of this engine, and I've enjoyed this recent review of the engine. Those sounds for that engine are actually very incredible, and help make up for what it lacks in external detail. Now if Only Bachmann had the TTS sound in their 4F without a ridiculous price tag, then the Hornby 4F would be in trouble. LOL!!!!

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks a lot Chris, glad you enjoyed it! That would be great actually - if only Bachmann would come up with a budget sound system! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@Tombola1993]

Thank god that loco is still around and most likely running. Such a cool looking goods/mixed traffic loco.

[@joelightrailway2362]

Excellent video of the Hornby LMS 4F with TTS sound Sam 👍 I enjoyed my visit to the Warley exhibition at the NEC yesterday and I bought a two wagons from Oxford Rail. Shame we didn’t get to meet yesterday as I’m a big fan of your’s and I was bit disappointed but oh well, maybe next time. I think that TTS 4F looks nice, but it is basic as it look more like a Railroad model with the motor can be clearly seen between the boiler & running plate.

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks very much Joe, glad you had a great time - I bought some stuff from Oxford too! Sorry not to have seen you, maybe next time! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@rynodynomyte2755]

Awesome model! You’d think more than 3 would be preserved because so many were built! One of those 3 preserved examples is the first one built and is part of the National collection!(currently being restored)The 2nd preserved example, I heard is hoped to be restored by 2025 for its 100th birthday!

[@SamsTrains]

I agree Ryno - it's strange! That would be amazing if true! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@nitrothemountainengine66]

Actually 4 were preserved if you count the midland version (which is technically a different class) as a 4f

[@SamsTrains]

[@bentullett6068]

To be honest it isn't a bad model for a old Airfix design and I am guessing it was slightly retooled to make it slightly more detailed. A similar model that is a old Dapol design but is still pretty good looking for its age is the LMS pug. Hopefully I can find some pretty good bargains tomorrow at warley show.

[@SamsTrains]

I agree, definitely not Ben, but also not up to modern standards - the Dapol design is the same thing again! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@russellbenton2987]

It is 41 years old because I’ve got a 1978 Airfix Tender drive one . But it’s a fair enough loco . It looks like a 4F and Hornby are at least delivering value for money including TTS sound on this , compared to Bachmann who just rip you off with high prices . There is a Bachmann model which from memory retails at about same price as the Hornby one but of course not DCC or TTS Sound . From a distance can you tell the difference?

[@SamsTrains]

Blimey Russel, quite an old one then! Yeah it's fair enough - glad it wasn't more expensive though! The difference between this and the Bachmann version is huge - in both detail and price! From a distance is different, but then again - a hand drawing could look just as good from the right distance ;) Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@davidwatts1871]

The old Airfix/GMR loco ( I have 4454 ) is actually quite a good runner and puller, considering the tender drive with plastic wheels and traction tyres. PS, you can pick them up for about £25 on Ebay.

[@SamsTrains]

Yeah they are actually - I've serviced a few before in my time too! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

This engine did not seem too bad to me, I could put glass in the windows and paint the controls but them there is the dreading traction tire. One thing I noticed is that there was no brake sound when the engine stopped, or maybe I did not hear it.

Is it possible though, to re-engineer the Loco and install Loco Drive yourself, in an older model? I understand the Centre Drive axle is available, from a Middlesbrough spares supplier, as is its reciprocal motor and worm. (See Barrie Davis’ series on YT). Hmmm, should I buy one?!

[@SamsTrains]

With enough skill I'm sure it would be possible, but to be honest they're not that bad as tender driven machines - at least not bad enough to warrant going through the hell of a conversion! It might be more worthwhile to try to replace the motor in the tender with a better one! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

Hey Sam, do you think it would be possible for Hornby to start selling there railroad range locos for 40 quid and under? The only reason my fleet is so small is because I could not afford it. I would buy a few locos a year for 40 pounds. I just do not see why models that are low detail and have been around for years being made in China, are being sold for over 40 pounds. In the US I can get a brand new train set with 9 pieces of rolling stock, a 4-6-4, track, controller, and various other accessories for $100.

[@pchar99]

I've always wondered how they get the speaker inside the train

[@SamsTrains]

haha yeah - it's quite impressive! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@wyvernmodelrailway]

I've just bought "Maude" with TTS, special from Hattons at £120

[@SamsTrains]

That really is incredible value - hope you enjoy mate! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@Tribesman72]

This got more promising as it went along, what is the LMS loco over in the scenic sidings, think I prefer it to the Coronation

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks a lot mate - that'd be the Hughes crab! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

Hi Sam I sprained my wrist and I’m lying in bed watching your videos Edit: turns out I broke it and have a cast

[@SamsTrains]

Awhh sorry to hear that mate, hope you feel better soon :( Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@iceeblueburst03]

Are you planning on doing more remakes of your old reviews in 2020? If so, which old locomotives? I want to see your Q1 from Hornby in BR Black (unweathered) and possibly a remake review of your A1 Tornado in BR blue.

[@SamsTrains]

Yes! I'm hoping to update all of my old reviews - or the ones that are still relevant at least! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@ironcityrailfan8467]

Just noticed something: didn’t Hornby use the 4F to make their James model but with an extended footplate and added pony truck?

[@SamsTrains]

Not quite - they used their Deely 3F, from the tri-ang days! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@ironcityrailfan8467]

Sam'sTrains oh yeah. I got a bit confused

[@bowdendrake6316]

Hi Sam I just wanted to suggest a very expensive model though if you want it I would consider you buy it as soon as possible because the price of it is going up It is the Hornby live steam mallard It works on real steam heated up in the tender

[@SamsTrains]

Hey Bo, yeah I've seen those, they do look incredible - love to try one some day! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@sosig1341]

Yesterday I signed of for my year 9 duke of Edinburgh rewards scheme

[@SamsTrains]

That's amazing - is that bronze silver and gold then?? I only ever did Bronze - it was quite enough, so you're pretty brave! ;D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@sosig1341]

Sam'sTrains thanks

[@benthecarspotter439]

Great video Sam I love 0-6-0 locomotives the Q1 being my personal favourite. I'd like to requests loco for you the PRR T1 it's an ﹰAmerican locomotive and it's probably got the most unique streamlining on any steam loco I know you probably wouldn't get one for cheap but they're well worth it

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks a lot Ben - I love them too, especially the Q1! I would love one of those! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@jacobhampshire1181]

Have you ever built a loco kit?

[@SamsTrains]

I never have done - I'd love to try it though! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@benray9071]

Ahhh another model i want now! Lol. Anyway nice vid as always sam!

[@SamsTrains]

haha yeah they're pretty decent - glad you enjoyed it! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@lukegreen5341]

This LMS 4F Is A Bit Like Donald And Douglas From Thomas The Tank Engine And Friends. Thanks Sam'sTrains Mate. X

[@SamsTrains]

haha yeah it is actually!! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@steamie98]

How much would this cost? I would love one for my layout

[@SamsTrains]

Check the link below - I'm not sure whether Hatton's have any more new ones! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@Evanrailway]

Hi Sam r u going to new junction tonight

[@SamsTrains]

Noo, we've already pre-recorded the video! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@TrainGuy-tl8ke]

Hi sam! aka my favorite youtuber anyways I am writing this on the way to a hobby shop because I'm getting my first ho train set! I wanted to as if you had any tips for starting out though?

[@SamsTrains]

Hi mate, bless you you're very kind! That's super exciting mate - hope it really goes well for you! Feel free to check out my video on getting started with model railways - hopefully that helps! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@TrainGuy-tl8ke]

Thanks alot man! Your the best!

[@covertjunction3122]

Hi Sam, I'm amazed that you don't have a 'full' sound loco, given your rather massive collection! I would recommend them, they have plenty of features, depending on the loco/decoder. Hornby have done a few when they first started with sound, which can be decent value.... Also, do you still do loco servicing/maintenance? All the best, William :)

[@SamsTrains]

haha yeah - I guess I'm too tight for it! I certainly will have to try it though! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)
