Nice one hope you are having a great day,got to love a bargain😂😂

Love it! I picked up a MK3 for a pound at my local shop. Gonna use it for when I repaint my HST​@@trotskis00layouts

What a find, £25 plus postage, the clipper is actually my dc controller of choice. Have had one from very early 80s. Have 4 125s, one original from 1979 and an executive livery one. They look fantastic all together. Ringfield motor is in so many vintage trains; few small difference between them but just little care with oil and they work. Great find; well done

[@trotskis00layouts]

Yeh nice one,there is a lot of power in the clipper,it works lovely,been testing it on my big layout for power.the motors are very easy to work on which is great and they run forever ish ,yes was definitely a great purchase,👍👍👍👍

[@rossisleftknee]

Wow. What. A. Beauty!

[@trotskis00layouts]

Another great purchase 😂😂😂😂😂

[@gs425]

Apart from the drop of oil on motor bearings, ringfields enjoy most a light oil on the axles. This is because it self cleans and stops the differing metals black corrosion. Its through the chassis that they pick up of course.

Yeh so very true,it dosnt take long to get the going great

LOOKS GREAT

[@trotskis00layouts]

Yeh nice one it’s a great set👍

Good for £25, bargain. Those "soldering" marks, are sometimes a chemical reaction between the plastic coating on the controller wires resting on the body of the locos, rolling stock etc. I've had a few items with this burn mark on them.

[@trotskis00layouts]

Hi well I never knew that,a lot of trains from this era have the marks ,got a few in my collection,yeh really happy with the set runs like a dream,and still with the original bulbs in 👍👍👍

[@robertleem5643]

I bought a 125 set a few years ago on ebay fully boxes for £15 along with a 225 for £22, I still look for bargains now

[@trotskis00layouts]

Now that is a great bargain for sure,got a few 225 sets myself,bargains are definitely the best 😂😂

[@keithshayle7027]

The motor bogie wasnt clipped into the chassis, and using sand paper will take the protective coating off the steel rails, unless they were rusty already of course. Back in the day i could strip down a Hornby ringfield motor including spur gear removal and armature in minutes. They were never made from quality materials, with the plating from the wheels particularly susceptible! I believe it was Xmas '77 i got my HST, and i supplanted it with an additional 2nd class mark 3. At the age of 11 I was very impressed... Your video certainly brings back memories...

[@trotskis00layouts]

Hi,yes the track were a bit rusty yes,but the sand paper I was using was the finest you can get,a track rubber is useless when for years of crud on them,.everything was in place just me dislodging things with bit mitts👍👍 track won’t be used again,,I can go as far as taking motor fully apart,as I have track record of loosing parts,even if I put them together when taking apart.very happy with the set it will survive for years to come .👍👍👍👍

[@davidrigby7984]

Thanks Trotski for another great video and fantastic find, 👏

[@trotskis00layouts]

Nice one cheer,I waffle on a bit ,but got a great deal for sure👍👍👍👍

[@davidrigby7984]

@trotskis00layouts When you compare to the current TT120 HST that hornby have just released. the power car and dummy car retail for 219.99. then you need to decoders for either end which are 69.99 each, and then 37.49 per coach. it's mega money. it makes me think I need to start hunting for bargains on ebay aswell 🤔 👍

[@trotskis00layouts]

@@davidrigby7984 it is unbelievable how the hobby as gone,my wife bought me the kato azuma for my birthday I was having palpitations,and the digi chip for it was 70 quid yikes. Yeh love grabbing a bargain,it well worth it and loads out there 👍👍

[@nononsense3528]
