Another great video Sam. I did notice that the rear wheels on the tender didn't seem to turn when you were running her slowly. Sometimes the middle set of wheels didn't rotate either. But they did seem to turn when the loco was moving faster.

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks very much Charles - yeah unfortunately the wheels are quite stiff on that tender, so it looks as though I'll need to add more weight! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@logangarrett2681]

hey sam sometimes the wheels on the tenders screws on the tender are screed in to much try unscrewing them a bit

[@asmodeus599]

This is the greatest review on a weathered locomotion. Nice work with the video Sam.

[@SamsTrains]

Ahh that's very kind of you - many thanks! Cheers, Sam :)

[@vincentberkan605]

#6869 "Resolven Grange" was built at GWR Swindon Works on March 31st, 1939 and was withdrawn from service on July 31st, 1965 from Cardiff East Dock Shed. It was cut up at Birds Scrapyard on October 31st, 1965 at the age of 26.

[@SamsTrains]

Hi Vincent, thanks very much for the info on Resolven - much appreciated!! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@welshrails]

Nothing better then a classic great Western 4-6-0! There also my favourite train (I have a county class)

[@SamsTrains]

Yeah I agree - I can see why! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@thebluejelly4460]

I want that train

[@SamsTrains]

haha I don't blame you! Link in the description! :D

£80 is ok but i don't have that money i spent it on a mallard and a deltic:)

[@shawnstanley8748]

Beautiful model, I love pretty much any GWR 4-6-0!!! I know I’ve probably said this before but my favorite engine of all time is Olton hall!!!❤️❤️❤️

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks a lot Shawn - me too, they're awesome aren't they?? :3 Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@darkpencil8482]

Wen r u going to do the class 170 in scotrail saltire livery

[@SamsTrains]

I don't have that one at the moment, but I will keep an eye out for them! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@a.r.productions]

Could you do a video where you compare all your Great Western 4-6-0's

[@SamsTrains]

Ooh I do like that idea - thanks for that mate! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@nnrfanoldaccount]

I gave you a shoutout on my channel! In a video dedicated to it!

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks so much for that Fuzzy - I'll take a look!! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@bigsai4472]

Hello Sam! Very nice video! Also, what song was that in the beginning of the video?

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks a lot Sai, I think that one was Sour Tennessee Red! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@Toxic_The_Folf]

Did any one else notice the two back tender wheels stoped moving when The 4-6-0 went to couple up to the coaches or was it just me.

[@SamsTrains]

haha yeah - I think the tender needs a bit more weight, since the wheels are quite stiff on mine! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@charlescurtis2915]

I noticed that, too. The middle wheels did the same thing at times.

[@davidknowles2491]

I noticed that too. Would probably explain why she slowed down on Gordons hill.

[@jasonjohnson892]

Modern design was in the 2000s, its gone down hill since in late 2010s and 2020s. The patchiness would have been because they would have washed the parts that need to be clean for regulation purposes. In the last days of steam, usually only the number plates and the br emblem would be cleaned. While everything else would be dirty. "Yea" to the visable valve gear which would have shown the internal stephenson valve gear. The tender wheels are stiff, but great model nonetheless, love the weathering. It's on my list of future locos to buy lol😄

[@bigsai4472]

*SCREAMING* I’ve been waiting for this moment! Although I’m not a big fan of the GWR, I say that their locos are quite stunning. Anyway, have a great one Sam! You always bring joy, happiness, and trains into our life! Your Friend, Sai

[@SamsTrains]

haha thanks Sai, really glad you found these stunning - I'm a big fan of them too! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@TRAMJUNCTION7147HG]

I spent my youth in the LMS Region, but somehow, I just love the GW, All my locos are GW pre BR era. The Grange is on my to buy list. Great video Sam.

[@richardclowes6123]

Not in the same league as the new King Class for sure but a nice looking loco nevertheless. I couldn't help but notice that the tender wheels were not turning much on linking up with the carriages and then again when setting off. Maybe the tender is too light.

[@trainkid0481]

Thank you Sam trains

[@SamsTrains]

No problem mate! :D

[@Bittern19]

Wow 😲😃👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@SamsTrains]

Thank you! :D

[@rynodynomyte2755]

I made a mistake. I meant to say 25 more were originally going to be built not 15. WWII made the project get cancelled. If the project went on, 6880 Betton Grange would've been the next one to be built

[@SamsTrains]

Ahh that's okay mate, no worries!! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@a.r.productions]

Just wondering Small do you prefer the Gwr collet Tenders or the Hawksworth Tenders.

[@SamsTrains]

Hmmm, I've always been a collet man, but I do like both! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@rubysrailvideos0261]

That dust (or rust) effect really makes the loco stand out, like it's been restored or saved from scrap! :) - T

[@SamsTrains]

I agree! It really enhances the model, makes it look almost real!! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@haseebkhan-wl2ne]

Can I get a cheeky pinned comment? Haha Good work Sam, I love your videos so much they really cheer me up! Keep up the amazing content! :D

[@SamsTrains]

I've given it a love for you, how's that?? Glad you enjoyed it mate - that's lovely to hear! Cheers, Sam :)

[@Owencr905]

Sam'sTrains aah, lovely! Your welcome as well :)

[@jmream2618]

Sam'sTrains is this GWR grange model tender driven

[@robmasterman]

A lovely model Sam, and a great review as always. It's always personal choice, but when these locos are running on a layout, it's difficult to see all this fine detail, so getting a value purchase as you have managed to do is the right way to go. If they're purchased to go into a display cabinet, then the extra details is fine....otherwise, the extra costs do seem difficult to justify...Just my own opinion...Regards...Bob

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks very much Robert, really glad you enjoyed this one! Yeah this is true actually - I don't mind lower levels of detail provided the price matches the product!! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@a2020vision_official]

"...I joke you need an engineering degree to open the package..." I've got two and sometimes still struggle to figure out particularly "clever" packaging

[@SamsTrains]

haha I know - it can be a real challenge can't it?! Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@williamsoutar8929]

I have a Grange Class My is in BR Black, my called Derwent Grange, my have cab Details Sprung Buffers. My costs me £80.00, I bought it at a Model Railway exhibition and it so Beautiful. It is my birthday today i am 15th years old on Sunday can run 9F please because it is my birthday wish and it is my favourite locos?

[@SamsTrains]

Ooh fantastic - I really love the BR black ones, sounds gorgeous, and £80 is a great price!! I will definitely be taking requests on Sunday, if you're willing to take part - have a great birthday! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@kellyashfordtrains2642]

I spotted LMS Crab, LNER B12, King George 6th and a Southern Tender Engine (can't remember which class loco it is). I prefer pristine engines. Weathered ones put me off buying them. Your weathered Grange engine, Resolven Grange, is nice enough in her weathered condition, but you would have done better to buy a pristine model of her. On the subject of GWR 4-6-0's, I was thinking you could have a running session with Resolven Grange and King George 6th double-heading a matching GWR passenger train of six coaches, Pitchford Hall with her Tysley Set and Broome Manor with four Mark 1 Chocolate & Cream Coaches.

[@SamsTrains]

Well done with the spotting as always - I think that's all correct! :D Cheers, Sam :)

[@kingorry7223]

That's the most detailed loco ever!!! Have you found the 15 guinea special yet(limited of 1000) or maybe a britianna which I like. KOOTPGB

[@SamsTrains]

haha yeah it's soo nicely detailed! Not yet, but I will continue to look! :D Cheers, Sam :)

[@Taggart00]

I don't know if I should feel old when you refer to 2005 model as being old. Especially as I think that wasn't that long ago...

[@SamsTrains]

Well thirteen years is quite a long time where unserviceable motors are concerned! ;D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@bruhprod3365]

Im not too big fan of engines pulling coaches, Don't know why though.I personally prefer freight engines and mixed traffic pulling heavy loads. My personal favourite locos are the 4F and anything 0-6-0

[@SamsTrains]

No problem Pasty - I do try to show goods from time to time too!! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@rabg7479]

I bought one from a fare last year for £100 and 4 hornby pullman coaches with lights I think I got a bargain 😂🚂🚂good vid mate

[@SamsTrains]

That's very good indeed - bargain!!! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@adamrushton1740]

Sam Remember you drove a Grange class in train simulator and that was 6800 Arlington Grange.

[@SamsTrains]

haha yeah I do remember! It was a lot of fun to drive too! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@kellyashfordtrains2642]

Johnny the Jinty is a good runner. He fits in with my pristine engines better than I first thought. They've welcomed him very happily, I'm glad to say. Jimmy nearly scorned him, but the two are best of friends. I have three Jinties altogether: Weathered BR Black Johnny, LMS red Jamie and BR Black Jimmy. Does your LMS red Jinty have a name beginning with j? It doesn't matter if he hasn't got one yet.

[@SamsTrains]

Glad to hear that Kelly, I've heard good things about those Jinties!! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@Jarmy05]

Nice I recently purchased the weathered BR black D16 and Pullman coaches by the way it's ECML man my mate changed my name

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks a lot mate! Ooh superb - hope you enjoy! And no worries, I'll try to remember it's you! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@ItzDecster]

The next loco you review should be the Hornby Peckett 0-4-0T! It's a lovely loco from what I've seen in pictures!

[@SamsTrains]

Absolutely! I'm hoping to get a Peckett when they release more green ones! :D

[@drummerdude123456]

Hello again Sam, another great vid! Need to ask though.... what’s the story with the cow? Lol, I’m dying to know!

[@SamsTrains]

haha that's Bullman - he turns up from time to time - look at my Christmas train series of videos - you'll find out more about him! ;D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@nigelcarter9503]

Loverly Loco, Sam but a am a GWR nut. weathering looks fair. If the year is right Hornby did do better locos than Bachmann. Great detail for the year. I like weathering. Traction tyres, i hope not.

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks a lot Nigel! I agree - this was far better than what Bachmann were doing at the time, by a country mile!! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@MrBnsftrain]

2:51 I'm surpised that they didn't put the BR power classification on the back, even though they were used until 1965! 15:52 I noticed the tender wheels weren't turning while the engine was moving!

[@SamsTrains]

Yeah I agree! This must have been made before Hornby started doing that! Cheers, Sam :)

[@oceanstorm9410]

Very great vid Sam. Hey, I think I got an idea just for you. Do u think u can do a Flying Scotsman running session from oldest to newest tooling, if you have enough Flying Scotsmans. Lol :)

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks a lot Ocean - ooh that's a very good idea! I'll have to keep an eye out for some more Scotsmans ;D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@a.r.productions]

I have a castle class that has a similar motor and it also makes a lot of noise, I think it's just due to the age.

[@SamsTrains]

Yeah I suppose it is the age! This version doesn't have the ringfield though, if that's what your thinking?? Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@pjstar4561]

The tender wheels are barely moving, which is rather strange. Nice video though Sam! : )

[@SamsTrains]

haha yeah well spotted - the tender needs some more weight! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@TGM_2018_III]

Would you say that a new Hornby Grange for about $130.00 (US) is fair?

[@SamsTrains]

Yeah I think that's just about fair, assuming there's no extra postage or anything! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@munchkinman9186]

I don’t know what it is but there’s just something about GWR 4-6-0s that reminds me of Christmas

[@SamsTrains]

haha I've always used a GWR 4-6-0 as my Christmas train actually - great minds think alike ;D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@warrenlehmkuhleii8472]

I like weathered locos but I would always take a mint Flying Scotsman over a weathered one but that is just me. But the GWR Grange class looks grate weathered. Also why was B.R. so hasty in getting rid of all of there locos, and it was the same here in the states unfortunately.

[@SamsTrains]

I think I'm the same Warren - but I'm not too bothered! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@kellyashfordtrains2642]

In fact, that new Jinty of mine is weathered. So I've had to break my own rule about weathered engines on my railway. Johnny is a good runner. One weathered engine won't hurt.

[@SamsTrains]

Ooh I see - what do you think to your Jinty then?! ;D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@ianhaynes5898]

Another fine engine. I thought the detail looked very good, especially from the front. Never worried too much about cabs myself, though I have painted in detail and I do like to add a crew. Of course I am not really one for the weathered look, I would want to dust it!

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks a lot Ian - yeah this one really does look great from the front, what with the weathering! haha I'm the same - I keep wanting to clean it ;D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@1701_FyldeFlyer]

Nice review Sam. Good to see Bullman again! It looks like the middle and rear wheels on the tender are not moving at slow speed when you was doing the slow speed test. I was wondering if them dragging was likely the cause of the noise? For a 13 year old model I think the detail is very good myself. Not sure about weathering on locos, some seem to suit it and others not. think this would have looked better without myself.

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks a lot mate, well spotted on Bullman! Yes the tender wheels aren't too great - but it's really because the tender is too light - I had it all to pieces when it came, so I know all the bearings are cleaned and oiled! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@thomashambly3718]

I like the weathering, I've just been to the ravenglass and eskdale railway, I got to go on the new old European train.

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks mate, me too actually! Ooh awesome - did you have a good time?? :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@arman2f218]

In the cab, the hole in the firebox, you could put a light to make it seem like the coal is being burnt. Lovely review as always

[@SamsTrains]

Yeah you absolutely could - quite a nice feature that!! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@OddBallThe4th8382]

hey sam i am having trouble choosing between the hornby s15 or the hornby grange class i love both engines but i cant buy them together beacause i dont have $400 laying around

[@SamsTrains]

Ooh that's tricky - I think the S15 is the better model in my opinion! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@robertlucido3686]

You should get and review the bachmann Thomas and Friends narrow gauge trains

[@SamsTrains]

I know! Those would be amazing to get!! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@a.r.productions]

22:10 the only southern loco among the lner LMS and Gwr locos

[@SamsTrains]

Well spotted mate!! :D

[@marijanamodric6050]

Dont get me wrong the GWR grange is a lovley engine but i prefere the Hall class and the King class

[@SamsTrains]

Ahh yes the Halls and Kings are much more prominent - I know what you mean! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@jakedarling7549]

Personally I prefer pristine condition locos so that I can do my own weathering. Hornby did a pretty good job on the grange, now if only they would tackle the manor, we need a new one...

[@SamsTrains]

No problem Jake - usually I much prefer pristine too! haha I agree - let's hope for a manor!! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@a.r.productions]

I believe it's actually a screw link coupling.

[@SamsTrains]

It is!! I keep getting that wrong, sorry mate xD Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@adamrushton1740]

I don't know if you noticed it or not ,but in the cab of your Hornby grange, the Firebox hatch is open which you don't see these days.

[@SamsTrains]

Yes you're right! I wonder if that's so you can add a light?? Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@AdiPullen]

Hi Sam Yes I have one in br black it stunning Derwent Grange is mine think I paid £70 new. But that weather version stunning too in my opinion Tender wheels I'd go round Keep safe ARP

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks Adi - they really are stunning, and you got a good deal! haha yeah the tender wheels are a bit dodgy on mine ;D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@paulcherrytrains3339]

I have just bought Derwent Grange In black I agree stunning locomotive 🚂.

[@kevinhale9400]

When you mentioned the weight, couldn't you some weights to the underside of the Loco, or isn't there enough room??

[@SamsTrains]

You wouldn't want to add any to the underside, but possibly there would be some room in the boiler/smokebox! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@paulcherrytrains3339]

I have one in B R black Derwent Grange. It looks super. Great review thanks.

[@SamsTrains]

Ahh fantastic - they are lovely models! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@DrAl60103]

16:30 - tender wheels are dragging and not turning - worth a look ;-) that'll be cutting the pulling power a bit and put flats on the wheels.

[@SamsTrains]

Yeah they are - I've oiled them but it's not fixed anything - I think the tender is just a bit too light :/ Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@TheOnlyHollywood1]

Nicely done Sam. Well done. Can you do custom models? I spotted a maroon tender engine in the shed at toy town and a blue and green b12 in the siding

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks a lot mate! Haha no I'm no good at painting them myself ;D Well spotted there!! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks a lot mate - yes it's a real shame, hopefully they'll finish the new one soon! Cheers, Sam :)

[@danielannett1019]

I do prefer the older models as the tender is disconnected from the loco which makes handerling much easier

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks Daniel - yes it definitely does make them easier to handle, that's true! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@totalal4601]

Nice. A lovely bit of 4-6-0 passenger action!

[@scottno4294]

Sam can you do a video on how to replace a broken side rod (if that’s the right term)

[@SamsTrains]

Hi Scott - it'd be very difficult to do a video on that, because there's so much variation between models! If I ever need to replace one though, I'll be sure to film it! Cheers, Sam :)

[@nnrfanoldaccount]

B12 is the odd one out because the cylinders are inside.

[@SamsTrains]

Ahh that's very original - I'll let you have that! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@mihaelalaber2084]

i think that hornby made a mistake or is it just me cus the tender seems to be to high or did i just get confused with he early castle class (Pendenis Castle)

[@SamsTrains]

I'm not absolutely sure about that - you might be right, I'll have to check! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@alexjones4249]

Why not 009 mixed with you layout

[@SamsTrains]

That'd be really awesome Alex - great idea! :D Cheers, Sam :)

[@kevinhale9400]

Did you notice that the tender wheels were more static than actually rotating. Perhaps a little weight added to the tender would cure this.

[@SamsTrains]

Yes they're very stiff on this one - I think extra weight would definitely fix the problem, I just haven't gotten around to it yet! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@tombore9516]

The back wheels on the tender are moving at all sam, if you have not noticed

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks Tom - yeah I'm getting onto that soon, it's a weight issue with the tender I reckon! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@lucasnowlan3026]

I like the light weather, it makes it look real, but I do not like the heavily weathered ones

Hey Sam, I had a question, is there a version of that model but without the weathering and with the GWR markings? Let me explain, I like the weathering effect but I like my model Locomotives to look like their new, and I just like the GWR markings. OK, thanks! Have a nice day! :D
