Unboxing the Hornby Class 40 with TTS Sound

[@TheWGLOVER]

Another loco you have persuaded me to buy. Upgraded the speaker to a YouChoos Flame 12, and added some weight. I am very pleased with it.

[@SamsTrains]

That's great to hear William - did the new speaker make a big difference?? :3 Glad to hear you're pleased with it! Cheers, Sam :)

"Not bad, I've seen worse, at least you're all clean"-Class 40 Diesel from Bowled Out (Thomas & Friends) all seriousnes, splendid review!

[@sirmugman]

sounds like its just idleing over rather then moving but it is nice to see there giving more to the loco guy,

[@SamsTrains]

Yeah I guess that's true - but you do hear it spin up when it starts moving! Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@RichardJoganah]

Nice review ,just pick my lovely railroad range class hornby class 40 very happy with it ,will go well with my lovely lima class 40 😊😊😊

[@NorbertRoll]

A wonderful diesel loco. Have to buy one as soon as possible from Hattons.

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks again - yeah they're very good for the price actually, enjoy it! Cheers, Sam :)

[@The_elite_soldier]

10:47 this was my favorite part of the video its so realistic and amazing and i really enjoyed the video sir and what a great looking diesel👍🏻 and i also like how the other trains by on each other just like in real life

[@oscarpaisley]

I had to look again on a larger screen, as I had first seen this on my phone. There really isn't much detail on the front is there!!! they got some great detailing elsewhere ( the fan and roof are terrific ) looks like they just forgot to finish it!! love the video Sam. Oscar

[@SamsTrains]

Yeah it really is very basic - no doubt based on a much older tooling! But yeah - I was very impressed by the roof, but you're right - it does feel a little unfinished! Thanks for watching mate, Sam :)

[@johncarvil498]

Hi Sam, great value for the money dcc and sound fitted. Loved seeing all the diesels running in the same session. Cheers John.

[@SamsTrains]

Hi John, yeah it's fantastic value this one! Glad you enjoyed it mate, Cheers, Sam :)

[@maxoyew2965]

I find it hilarious that in TTE, Class 40 and Caroline get name plates and a spot in the closing of certain episodes while Oliver never does. Truly hilarious. Class 40 barely even appears! 😂

[@joshuariddensdale2126]

Class 40 was a one-shot character, but a memorable one. Like Diesel before him, Class 40 Diesel was very snobbish towards steam engines, thinking them a relic of the past while diesels are the future. Unlike Boco, who was a kind, hardworking diesel, but stern when he needed to be. Especially concerning Bill and Ben's antics. Only he and Edward could keep Bill and Ben in line.

[@paulkandi]

Just purchased one of these BR green, which I intend to change to D212 Aureol , add bufferbeam detail, mega bass speaker, lights and Car wheel balance weights, I find the most effective...

[@marbleman5669]

The class 40 always sticks in my mind when I think of BR diesels. Might be because two characters in the railway series were based on it. (Im obsessed with Thomas)

[@victorywoo]

You're not alone lol

[@SamsTrains]

haha! That's fair enough - I know a few people that are like that! All the best, Sam :)

I am big Thomas tank engine fan too😊😊

[@michaelmyers7526]

No way! I was just looking at these today so I searched it up on KZbin and you have made a video on them a 2 days ago. What a coincidence 😂

[@SamsTrains]

haha blimey! It's scary how these things happen, lol! Are you thinking of getting one then?? :D All the best, Sam :)

[@josephhernandez4437]

I enjoyed watching the Class 40 run, its one diesel I like and yours looks superb. Great video Sam Thank you!!

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks very much, really glad you enjoyed seeing it! Yeah those 40s are quite nice actually! All the best, Sam :)

[@SDJR7F88]

Superb review indeed! Hornby really have done a superb job with their TTS sound system. For the price you really can't go wrong, especially with the diesels. It serious has got me thinking about DCC. Good tip with the extra weight. Excellent diesel running session. Certainly a good varity in action. Keep up the superb work and thanks for sharing!

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks very much mate, really glad you liked the review - but yes, I wish all of their models were such good value for money, and I'm sure they'd do much better for it too! Thanks again for your lovely comments, Cheers, Sam :)

[@jackmorro8822]

Hey Sam,I'm enjoying the intros and the music that's being played during the Running session I quite like that.And the class 40 is a amazing train.And the class 37 she had a bit of a work out pulling that freight! THANKS SAM!!

[@SamsTrains]

Hi Jack, thanks so much for the feedback mate - glad you think the music works! Glad you liked the locos - yeah that 37 had some work to do, but they really are very powerful! All the best, Sam :)

[@victorywoo]

Wow, I've never seen such a long load! I love how jakeyboy gaming's favorite engine is always so casually passing by without you acknowledging her and I find that hilarious- haha! Great review once again, 100/10, and my favorite today has to be Hymek 'cause she's the basis for a friendly diesel in The Railway Series called "Bear..."

[@SamsTrains]

haha, thanks! Yeah it was a long one that! Glad you enjoyed Bullman's appearance - I'm still trying to find his lair! Thanks so much for the kind words - and yeah, got to love bear :D Cheers, Sam :)

[@RHaenJarr]

I absolutely love the class 40. I love driving it in both Train Simulator and in Train Sim World. If I ever got into british model trains, it would definetely be very high on my "to buy" list.

Me too Adam, they are awesome! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@stashyjon]

Nice one Sam, That 40 takes me back, they used to show up at Bristol Temple Meads on Bristol to Derby trains in the early 80's, were always very impressive, if noisy and dirty. Love the massive freight as well, and thanks for running the Hymek, my second favourate diesel after the class 52 Westerns. Have a great weekend Jon

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks Jon! Thanks for the comment mate, glad these brought back memories for you - yeah apparently they were quite primitive reading about them! Glad you liked the freighter too - I enjoyed doing that! All the best, Sam :)

[@daverichards4415]

Hiya Sam. Grand vid mate! I got a little excited when I spotted the Vitrains class 37. Bloody marvellous model! Nice to see some diesels mate. Have a great weekend Sam. Catch you on the return journey!! ;-)

Class 37s have 3 rows of wheels. The 40 to 45 peaks have 4 rows of wheels with 2 pilot wheels front and back. That's all I've to say

You forgot to mention that this is the old Lima model, the bodyshell is at least... the chassis will have have a few tweaks to it as there wasn't a place to put a sound unit and I think that the motor will hopefully have been updated

[@vlogthatrain3152]

great video today mate :) , this is one of the few none steamers that I like !! but I've always thought that they look more like freight locos so it's a bit strange for me to see them pulling couches ...still a lovely model and the sound is great too - all the best :)

Hi mate, thanks very much for the comment! That's fair enough - they may well be for freight, I really don't know, haha! Glad you enjoyed it mate, Sam :)

That diesel used in my series is the character name Rudolph

[@SamsTrains]

Awhh I love that - such a cool choice of name! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@geekyboringfilms233]

I bought a 1980's Lima 40 off ebay, and it looks almost identical. I assume hornby bought the mould when they took over the remains of Lima.

[@SamsTrains]

Ahh fantastic - Hornby certainly own the Lima moulds now! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@russellbenton2987]

The InterbCity trains match perfectly. It could be a Glasgow Aberdeen service from. 76 or 77 with these coaches. The 40s didn't have electric train heating so couldn't pull the later air conditioned mk2d/e/f or mk3s

[@SamsTrains]

Ah okay mate, thanks a lot for that - I'm still quite ignorant when it comes to diesels, so that's good to hear! Thanks for watching as always, Sam :)

I got one question, if I were to put a hornby 0-6-0 jinty a front of the class 40 engine while coupled, would it still run or do I have to put a specific setting

[@SamsTrains]

If you're running on DC, both engines should run fine, though they might run at different speeds! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

Just gone and bought one of these on eBay yesterday, trying to buy more TTS sounds locos... great video on this btw 😀

[@SamsTrains]

Ooh fantastic - hope you enjoy it mate! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

Love the Loco! In fact, I have this one myself! Not the TTS sound version, though. Also, should my next buy be from Bachmann or Hornby?

Thanks very much! Ooh nice - I bet the DC version is just as good for value! ooh I don't know mate - what are you thinking?? :) Cheers, Sam :)

[@bennickss]

[@miscellaneous.7127]

Nice vid mate! I didn't try the spotting as I am even worse at it with diesels. I only just manage with steam!

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks very much mate! No worries - I'm pretty bad on the diesels too! Thanks for watching though, Sam :)

[@trainsontuesday]

Early cow this time Sam. The class 37 would be my fav. of the day although the class 40 is very nice. Be careful adding weight, I added weight to a loco once and it pulled the load beautifully but the motor got hot enough to melt the plastic around the armature bearings. David.

[@SamsTrains]

Hi David, thanks very much for the comment - yeah I love those 37s too! Blimey, that sounds drastic - I'd never overload them with coaches though, and I added around 100g - it's still lighter than some other locos I have, but I'll bear that in mind! Cheers, Sam :)

[@alanbroadbent8624]

Hi Sam, hope your well. The sound on the TTS 40 isn’t to bad for the price. As for the loco it’s self, it would need some serious modifications doing on it, especially on the nose ends, as they are to high. But like you said, it is a budget model (Ex Lima Body). I still may purchase one just to do the modifications, as I do believe it would look pretty good when stood next to my Bachman 40. Great review.

[@SamsTrains]

Hope you're well too! I agree, for the money it's just fine - but not ideal for a proper modeller! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

My Favorite Diesel Class 40 a model stunning

[@mrtbag6889]

Must say this is one of my favourites just picked this up second hand on eBay for a whopping £100 not sure if I paid too much? But one of my nice little memories when I was a kid

[@SamsTrains]

That's great to hear mate - that's not too bad with the TTS sound, hope it brings back some nice memories though! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@modelsandtrains7915]

Must day this is my favourite loco! Just a couple of quick questions in regards to adding weights where exactly are the best to add weights? And also does it resolve problems going over Express points ie bouncing over them or getting stuck as if it's in a wheel spin? The points I used are Hornby R8078 00 Gauge Left ones

[@SamsTrains]

Great to hear that Paul, they are fantastic! With these, I added them onto the chassis at each end, underneath the front windows! Generally speaking, you want to add the weights as low down as possible, it should improve traction and bouncing issues for the most part! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@mercury7590]

Could use some more detail, but it's no doubt a good loco. Thanks for sharing this with us. And, just to let you know, the Class 40s were not 1Co-1Co, but 1Co-Co1.

[@SamsTrains]

Yeah definitely - a little more detail wouldn't do a miss! Glad you liked the video - and yes you're absolutely right, definitely a slip of the tongue there - sorry about that! All the best, Sam :)

[@TomPrickVixen]

I saw one of these (DCC fitted) at one of the used toys shop, in perfect condition, but its light weight scared me away, but since its very cheap (less than the Tri-ang versiont at the same shop) i might reconsider to buy it, than upgrade and weather it.

[@SamsTrains]

Yeah you're right - I'd have been scared by the weight if I'd held one before buying - though I ordered mine online! Luckily there's plenty of space to glue in some lead balls, phew! I'd go for it though mate - they're really quite good! All the best, Sam :)

Yeah I think so too! Check the railmaster PDF manual (it comes with the PC software) there are instructions on how to get the app on there! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)

Really nice loco, I like these types, especially the similar class 44/45/46s. I think it is the bogies I like on them. Are you planning on doing something similar to your diesel month again-i really enjoyed that?

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks a lot mate - yeah these are pretty awesome looking things! I doubt I'll do another diesel month this year - but I will keep showing diesels from time to time! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

40 164 was involved in a nasty (but ultimately, amusing) accident on Christmas Eve(!) 1977. The brakes failed coming into Glasgow Queen Street, and hit a rake of coaches - thankfully empty - that were being prepared for the train to Mallaig. The reason why it is amusing is that the only injury was a broken finger for the Driver, and the reason for the accident is fun - the wheels had been re-profiled, but they had failed to take into consideration what effect the re-profiling would have on the braking system.

[@SamsTrains]

That's very interesting - I hadn't heard about that one before - oh dear! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@Alexander-wq8nh]

[@JustaGuy_-wh1sd]

You should review the Hornby J15

[@SamsTrains]

Yes I should!! I have one, and it's ready to review soon! All the best, Sam :)

[@arman2f218]

It's surprising but the steam locomotives they replaced were a lot more powerful!

[@SamsTrains]

Yeah I know! But not for long I suppose - they soon outdid them! Cheers, Sam :)

[@siweljohn7468]

Can you do some more diesel/ electric train reviews please?

[@SamsTrains]

Yeah absolutely - I do have some more to show! :D Cheers, Sam :)

[@WDG13031]

If you're impressed by the Class 40.... you'll love the TTS Class 37, 47 & 67. They're as good if not better. Can you tell me more about this artwork stuff?? And lastly I remember telling you about the Class 90 last time. I just bought one myself... for £41 it was a steal. On second thoughts I should've sent it to you to review.

[@SamsTrains]

Oh really?? Thanks for the recommendation - I'll check that out! :D What do you want to know about the artwork?? Oooh wow - that's a great price, well done mate!! :D Cheers, Sam :)

[@WDG13031]

Sam'sTrains Can I actually send you some artwork? And do I email it or send it via post?

[@AmeryJunction]

Such a great video ! well done :)

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks so much, I really appreciate that! Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@jordanthomas2567]

Hi Sam I enjoy watching your videos I would like to see the class 40 pulling Pullman coaches

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks Jordan! I'd love to try that too - great idea! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)
