Thanks Mike. It is pretty easy to keep the old girls running. And always satisfying to have 60 plus year old trains working well on your layout. Thanks for watching and commenting. Always appreciated. 👍 Enjoy your weekend.

@@midsomerrailwaynscale Thanks Greg. The oldies are often the easiest to maintain. I do get a kick out of running loco's that are older than me. Thanks for watching and commenting. Always appreciated. 👍

Thanks Bob. More projects coming soon. Thanks for watching and commenting. Much appreciated 👍

Thanks Ian. Yes, a little oil and they are back in action. So simple to maintain these old girls. Thanks for watching and commenting. Always appreciated 👍

Thanks James. The thing is that they were made to be serviced, so in trueth they are pretty simple to keep in good working order. I like the fact that many of these old girls are older than me and yet are still running. Thanks for watching and commenting. Always appreciated 👍

@monsvillerailways5736 I've got a couple of really old locos in a box at my sons, I must get on to him to find them out 🙂👍

Definitely do that. As long as you can still run DC on your layout, they'll be a nice addition to your collection. Happy Trains

Hey Deano. Trix/Hornby Dublo couplers or Hornby tension lock? I guess that when you work with vintage trains you get to see vintage couplers. 🤔 Have a great weekend.

@monsvillerailways5736 hey Mons, I have upgraded them to magnetic couplings video coming soon

Will watch for that Deano 👍 I've stayed with originals to keep the units more authentic. Happy Trains

@@ModelTrainOutsider Thanks Anthony. The beauty of the early electric motor is its simplicity and ease of maintenance. It is always nice to get them back in fully working order. Thanks for watching and commenting. Always appreciated 👍

@@TimsBitsnPieces Hi Tim. Yes, Classics back in motion. Always a good thing. Thanks for watching and commenting. Always appreciated 👍

@@railway187 Thanks Erik. The old girls are so easy to maintain. Thanks for watching and commenting. Always appreciated 👍

Thanks David. These old girls often just need a drop of oil on bearings, and Drive Worm to give them a new lease of life. So simple to do with such a great result. Thanks for watching and commenting. Always appreciated 👍

Hi Clive. That makes sense given the opening bottom doors. Another donated item back on the rails. Thanks for watching and commenting. Always appreciated 👍

Thanks so much. Yeah, most of my Trains are vintage and still running at 60 plus years old. Simple electric motors are easy to keep going. Thanks for watching and commemting. Always appreciated. 👍

Thanks Dwight. Old loco's running on old steel track. Easy to maintain and lots of fun. Thanks for watching and commenting. Much appreciated 👍

Happy New Year to you both. Thanks for watching and commenting. Always appreciated 👍

Thanks John. The Trix/Hornby Dublo couplers are getting harder to obtain, but the Tri-ang/Hornby couplers are much more available. I've tried to replace the ones in this video with what was used originally. It is good to see old wagons etc back on the track. Thanks for watching and commenting. Always appreciated 👍

Thanks Lee. As always, appreciate your support. Stay safe. 👍

@@delphjunction1168 Thanks Pete and Su. Another Hornby Dublo addition to the collection. You heard it first. A Hornby Dublo Shelf Layout is already commenced. Stay Tuned. Thanks for watching and commenting. Always appreciated. 👍

@@railway187 Thank you Erik. Glad you liked it. These old girls still play an important part in the model train world. Thanks for watching and commenting. Much appreciated 👍

@@anthknill Thanks so much. Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching and commenting. Much appreciated 👍

@ no bother at all 👍

@@trainsontuesday Thanks David. She still needs a lube and a service, but ran well enough for an introduction video. Like all these old girls, once warmed up they run best. Thanks for watching and commenting. Always appreciated. 👍

@@ModelRailwayShed Thanks Deano. Another Classic to add to the collection. Thanks for watching and commenting. Much appreciated 👍

@@newlynnrailway Thanks Clive. She needs a lube and a service, but still runs to ensure an unboxing video was possible. May do a lube video next. Thanks for watching and commenting. Much appreciated. 👍

@DYLINGTONMODELRAILWAY Thanks James. Another vintage engine 😀 Always a good thing in my mind. She needs a lube and Service yet. Thanks for watching and commenting. Always appreciated 👍

@@anfieldroadlayoutintheloft5204 Thanks Lee. Always good to add another vintage engine to the collection. Thanks for watching and commenting. Much appreciated 👍

@@DiggerEvans Thanks Digger. Anothe Hornby Dublo engine to the collection. Thanks for watching and commenting. Much appreciated 👍

@@ModelTrainOutsiderThanks Anthony. Not really a fix. The Tender was separated for postage. She still needs a lube and service. Just wanted to get her on video to close off the pre Christmas Mail Call. As always, thanks so much for your support. Always appreciated 👍 Happy Trains

@@steve87thpsap Thanks Steve. Quite right. A bit of everything really 😀 Thanks for watching and commenting. Much appreciated 👍

@@steve87thpsap Thanks Steve. The Class 8F is a nice additiion to the collection. I was looking at the 1960 Hornby Dublo catalogue page and now have many of the steam engines included. Thanks for watching and commenting. Much appreciated 👍

@@wanndanneisenbahn Hi Erich and Willie. Apparently RGBW is the way to go for more natural lighting colours. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching and commenting. Much appreciated.👍 Have a great weekend.

@@LowriseEagle thanks for that. I'll have to see if I can incorporate that some how. 👍 A bit hard when its a lighting strip suspended above the layout, but there is probably a way. 🤔 Thanks for watching and commenting. Much appreciated 👍

@@goarmysleepinthemud. Thanks so much. Glad you liked it. The colour experiment really was interesting, although most of the colours don't give a realistic environment look. Maybe only 3 will be used regularly. Thanks for watching and commemting. Much appreciated. 👍

@DYLINGTONMODELRAILWAY Thanls James and Dylan Happy New Year. I have a substitute controller for the lights so the colours shown were the limit of what I can achieve. There are probably only 3 useful colours unfortunately. I'll try to source another controller to experiment with. Thanks for watching and commenting. Always appreciated. 👍

@@KerleyExpress Thanls Dwight. All a big experiment Thanks for watching and commenting. Much appreciated. 👍

@@wowbaggertheinfinitelyprol6262 Thank you so much for this helpful insight into the use of LED's. This information is genuinely appreciated. As you can see, this is all an experiment for me and, although the colours may be incorrect, I am excited by the possibility of adding mood and ambiance to the layouts. Showing the different colours produced by these cheap RGB LED's is nothing more than an experiment to see what light is produced and how the camera interprets it. The Light Blue to me is a good starting point for a Moonlit feel, especially with the contrast of the building and street lighting I've installed thus far. I'll reread your advice many times to try to understand the depth of your message. Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment. Truely appreciated. Mon

@@TimsBitsnPieces Hi Tim. Yes, part of the experiment was to see how the camera interpretted the colours. Other colours came out as washed out too. I'll need to play with the camera settings to see if I can adjust this. Thanks for watching and commenting. Much appreciated 👍

Thanks Deano. It is a great way to add ambiance to your layout and not really very expensive. The experiment for me was to see what colours worked best and how the camera interpretted them. Thanks for watching and commenting. Much appreciated 👍

Thanks Clive. Indeed, finding out how the cameras I use interprets the different colours was part of the test. With your undetstanding of electronics, installing these would be pretty straight forward one would think? Thanks for watching and commenting. Much appreciated 👍

Thanks David. Indeed it was useful to see the different colours and how the cameras i use for filming interprets them. Many of the colours are not useful, but there are a couple that will get used regularly moving forward. Thanks for watching and commenting. Much appreciated 👍

Thanks so much. Deffinitely an interesting experiment. Thanks for watching and commenting. Much appreciated 👍

Thanks Digger. Happy New Year. Worth playing with the lights to see which works best. Thanks for watching and commenting. Much appreciated 👍

Thanks Anthony. It was certainly an interesting experiment to find the colours I prefer using. The camera changes some.of the colours compared to being here in person. The external lighting made a difference too so the idea was to walk the viewer through each range. The Light Blue looked to me like a moonlit night, as pointed out by a friend. I think that White and Light Blue might get used the most. Thanks for watching and commenting. Much appreciated 👍

Thanks Ian. Glad you liked it. It was interesting to see the different colours on the layout. Thanks for watching and commenting. Much appreciated 👍

Thanks Lee. Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching and commenting. Much appreciated 👍

@@shedhead00 Thanks Bob. Happy New Year to you from a land down under. Thanks for supporting the channel. All the best for 2025 👍
