Yeah it's quite a rare find. Hornby only made it in 1984 and 1985 as part of the Pick-Up Goods set. they never sold it separately. Thanks to my granddad finding it second-hand in the late 1990s that I got my hands on it. Really glad that I was able to get it back up and running.

I've added tyre weights beneath it, albeit at the center because there isn't enough room to fit them between the axles. Also the coach has no interior so if I install them inside, they'll be visible through the clear windows. In fact that's another gripe of mine about this coach. Must find a second-hand coach with a damaged bodyshell that I can cannibalize for an interior.

This is a good idea! Shall check it out

Sadly I don't have a video on editing videos. I use Da Vinci Resolve for my videos, but I've found Microsoft Clipchamp to also be quite useful. Since the P100 outputs video files in regular .MOV format, you can use it with ClipChamp.

That's the issue, the MOV format, I didn't know how to call it. Thank you so much, it helps me a lot since I already have ClimpChamp installed. I appreciate you.

@@floralheart you're welcome! Wish you the very best of luck with your videos!

Thank you so much!

Haha, thanks! A very useful shirt to wear around the house :P

To be honest I'm not quite sure. Some Googling shows that the 4500 has the pulsation bezel, while the 4559 seems to have a compass bezel. Otherwise they look pretty similar to me. Perhaps this is the main difference. I could be wrong, though.

Probably. The model is at definitely over 30 years old. Must see if anyone in Sri Lanka has a remagnetizer...

For some meters, yes. However funnily enough, my digital meter shows the resistance readout in continuity mode so I've been using that. Just went and checked it again with a 1K resistor to verify (in continuity mode) and it showed 997 ohms. On that token, I guess the 40 ohms for the motor should be reasonably accurate - but given that it's significantly above what should be expected, I need to do some diagnosis on the model. I've always noticed that it runs well, but needs a fair bit of "throttle" - usually around 70% minimum on my Gaugemaster. Perhaps this is the reason, do you think?

Thanks! Stay tuned for more watch reviews in the future

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks so much! Yes it's indeed a very pleasant runner, especially at the slower speeds that make model railroading far more reflective of the real thing. Really enjoy running it on my layout, especially with the full six-coach rake in all its glory. The added crew also brings a sense of interest. Must install some passengers within the coaches in due course.

Very true! I checked it out after your comment. Gives me inspiration for a future video on correct prounounciation of popular automotive brands and nameplates. Thanks!

Thanks so much! Yes, long term personal insight really helps identify the pros and cons of a watch, especially as the initial rose-tinted glasses tend to wear off.

Thanks! Glad you found it useful

Thanks for your kind words. I really appreciate your support from the inception of my channel.

Thanks David. I have a proper camera tripod but the restricted space within my layout's central well (since it's a 6x7 with a central well) makes it hard to deploy fully. I should look into a monopod which will take much less space.

Thanks! Yeah they are pretty good for a starter effort but nothing more advanced. I've already got some of the stickered walls peeling off on the goods shed - will do a short about this! Must check out Metcalfe, and try to get some down to Sri Lanka.

@@ashraaqwahabI hope the stickers can be fixed again with some glue.

@@railway187 I must try this and see. Should be OK with some white craft glue, which is what I use for ballasting (when mixed with a 50-50 mix of water and a few drops of dish wash soap).

Nice! Wonder if any model rail maker made a set for this.

Hi yeah it's an amazing slow-speed runner. Specs show it to have a 5-pole skew-wound motor (source: www.hattons.co.uk/directory/versiondetails/1187/hornby_oo_class_92?instock=true&onorder=true&soldout=true).

Thanks Thilina! Glad you enjoyed the video. Will gladly help you get into the game, just that your wallet won't like me :P

Thanks Mario! I've got some more watch reviews lined up.

Thanks!

Thanks!

My pleasure, Pasindu! Keep up the good work

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you! 😊

Thanks! I'll send you a photo of the strip board I use. The rows of holes are connected in a strip of copper, with isolation between the adjacent rows. So, if you were to place an LED with the positive leg in one row and the negative leg in another row, it will work when you apply power in one direction. Then, when you attach another LED in the opposite direction, that one will light up when you reverse the polarity of the power supply. It is also possible to buy a form of board where each hole is totally isolated, with only a ring of copper surrounding it, to aid soldering. This board allows you to totally make your own connections vertically, horizontally, and diagonally, with solder bridges and bridge wires, but for this application, it's a bit overkill.

@@ashraaqwahab Thank You.

You're welcome! Glad you found it useful. I'll do more of these "Inside A Model Train" videos in the future too.

Glad you enjoyed the video, and you will enjoy your new camera too. A few things, firstly get it serviced at an authorized Nikon centre (or competent camera shop). Then, consider replacing the battery as it's definitely past its prime. But after that, the camera is good to go.

Thanks!

Indeed. Weighting the bogies does help a bit

My pleasure, Tony! Hope you enjoy it. So far, mine are working a treat and I find the rolling stock seems to be 'happier' as well - no untoward hums or signs of distress.

​@@ashraaqwahabNice to know take care.

That's great! Wish you all the best with your layout, and Gaugemaster controls won't let you down. Glad you found my review useful, and looking forward to seeing your new layouts.

Yeah I did. There's a pin and two openings, but the whole thing is so loose and uncertain that you can't even be sure if it's fitted correctly. Even if you lift it up, you've got to hold the cab and trailer in each hand, or else they just slip out. And if you try pushing it along a level surface, they sometimes disconnect. Strictly a static model, this one.

Yeah thats Indian Rupees. I live in Sri Lanka and bought this in Sri Lankan Rupees, which, at the time of purchase, was around 4 LKR to 1 INR. Now the rate has dropped to approx. 3.7 LKR to 1 INR

@@ashraaqwahab ahh, ok

its 1999 on flipkart now and i bought it, was looking for temporary alternatives to steel series apex 7

No it doesn't appear to support that for multiple phones. However it claims that you can connect multiple Anker speakers to the same phone when the Soundcore app is installed.

Thanks for your support!

Yeah prices have really gone up.

Thanks! It's indeed a weird thing, and annoyingly, happens when you're using a lot of bandwidth. So you could be watching a video and find the mouse lagging. Then, you'll find it normally working during regular web browsing that doesn't use much bandwidth. Of course, none of this with a wired mouse, or one that doesn't operate on a frequency that's too close to your WiFi's frequency.

Thanks!

Thanks! Stay tuned for more great content. I plan to release on average, 4 videos per month. You'll find things ranging from model cars to model trains and tech reviews.

Thanks Maurice! Stay tuned for more interesting content

Thanks!
