I don't deal in Hornby anymore. Not for a time. The build those crappy Hitachi 800 ugly Azuma's class. I prefer my Athearns GP 40-2 Rocky Mountaineer loco. I also deal in Atlas & Kato American stuff! Much better than the British stuff.

Great video 👍

In my experience, you don't need the sponge behind the plastic. Just keep it under slight compression at the ends so it pops up just above rail level. It'll be enough to lift the hooks without risk of derailment etc. when travelling forward.

Best advert on this by far is the yellow page one 😊

Great video bi have the same train and I personally think there beautiful and brilliant and they run so well. Good luck with your trains sending regards from London

I like the way your tension lock couplings make the sound of wind chimes when travelling over the uncouplers, you are dead clever coming up with that design,

Why is it only Hornby?

Wow, quite a disclaimer in the infosection.

Hi Mark only seen your video now good work and show hope you're good and well cheers Patrick Quinn IRL

Hi Mark Sorry to trouble you, I notice Barrie Davis channel has gone again. Have you any news on him ( i know he has had issues lately). Thank you

Very interesting, what size is your layout and shed? 26:20

Great video, I like your attitude lad.

LESS THAN £5 WOW

How affordable were the prices mentioned at the time? Despite Lima having a bigger range of modern image trains, they never advertised! Those adverts are a nice reminder if yesteryear.

Brilliant video Mark. Thanks.

Hi Mark!! How sweet is this? Loved the song, too. How are you doing? Hello to Jane! Take care, Holly♥️

I have this modle but in apple green with the number 8509 and when i bought it there was no motor

I would get the catalog but never bought any trains as a kid. Looked for Cuneo mouse on the cover. £5 for a basic layout was like a weeks wage in the 1960's. My "2/6" went on Airfix kits. Time when i would cycle to the model shop.

that`s great fun Mark...It looks rather like my new layout !!!....News of which to come !

I have one of these. It will also run on any 12mm. guage TT / H0m / 00y track.

Lovely to watch Mark, I have missed your videos.

Hi Mark, any news on Barry?

good vid mark thanks lee

Smooth Running Mark very enjoyable

Hi Mark,..Found this by luck as always and a joy to behold....Great idea between the two layouts..Nice to see yours up and running again...Hope all is well...We are down with Covid....Got So much to tell thee !!! ....Cheers...Ade

Good to see you back at what you love doing , hope this finds you all is well Mark

Great stuff, a 73 to Crew!

Nice see you mark running train s thanks lee

Nice to see you on again Mark, I like the coach's

Well, well, well, Mark, what a refreshing change. Just came across your video and really loved your 'no nonsense', attitude to railway modelling. Good old fashioned 'spit and polish' way of thinking. I'm impressed with your homemade uncouplers. Thankfully I haven't ballasted my sidings yet, so I'm going to experiment with your cost effective idea and attempt to make some. Am I right in thinking that you have to have room to move the load backward beyond the uncoupler, when connecting, before bringing them out?? Keep on shunting pal, cheers, Rick the Bulldog.

As a Yank, I really enjoyed peering into the British history of model trains via these vintage commercials. Seems like the fun and nostalgia of model trains spans oceans and borders!

I totally understand dude, because in my videos, I use music and still you can hear the trains go!🚂🚞🚞🚞🚞🚞🚞🚞🚞🚞🚞🚞🚞🚞🚞

That is brilliant

My interest in British trains grew exponentially when I received a Hornby live steam Mallard for Christmas! I’ll never part from it. 😊

Nice video!! Very engaging from beginning to end 👍👏👍👏👍👏!! Need likes? -> Promo>SM.

i have great difficulty knowing where my stick is each morning mark,and am always confused....lovely to see.....hope all`s well.....just found this video by accident again.....ade

Great to see Archie enjoying himself, Chester my dog loves balls either chasing them and bringing them back or finding balls other dogs have lost and on a couple of occasions stealing them. Lovely video. Cheers Grahame

good vid mark thanks four the good vid on the channel thanks lee

Wonder if these were ever sold in America

Hi Mark, hope you had a great Christmas, certainly a colourful train, did the loco start life as a Hornby Ivatt class 2mt?, just liked and subbed, anyway, Happy New Year, stay safe, all the best from (North-East) Scotland, Stephen, p.s. my club will be at Modelrail Scotland in Glasgow, if you are there, hopefully we'll be able to have a chat, (fingers crossed it goes ahead).

Well I am about to go and wire my Gaugemaster combi controller to the track. A nice simple single line track with passing loop and inner siding

Merry Christmas and even Happier New Year, great video with some great music and no sign I'm glad to say of a Coca Cola .

'Brilliant!'. Hope you have a good Christmas, when if comes, providing worzel doesn't cancell it. Will you be making further videos in the new year? Regards Nigel

Thank you for posting this video, Mark. It is a brilliant concept and very well presented. The first time I have ever seen a 'Santa Special' train on a model railway. They are fairly normal occurrences on Heritage Railways of course but yours is really Special. What an amazing idea! Hoping you have a Blessed and enjoyable Christmas and an excellent Hogmanay to follow. All the very best to you and yours. Thanks again. Bob.

That was very nice.🎄🎅☃Seasonal greetings.

3:43 YES
