Excellent review Sam. My Centenary edition arrived in the mail today. Haven’t even opened the package yet. Should be a real joy. I really like that “photographic Gray.”
Ahh interesting! That would be fun to have.... I probably wouldn't risk buying used models unseen though, at least not expensive ones! :/ Thanks for watching, Sam :)
I have gotten my one of this model and, aside from some problems running in the beginning, it is amazing. You mentioned that yours is 574, well mine is not that far from yours at 544. Hope yours brings you loads of joy.
Hey i contracted covid and my pneumonia came back so might be my last review to watch so im happy to be a fan and subscriber sam if i dont make it continue making vids pls thank you :alex
Awhh so sorry to hear that Alex, please keep me posted on how you're doing. I'm sure you'll be absolutely fine - stay with us mate! Thanks for watching, Sam :)
The resin builder's plate is, as you say, £10 piece of TAT. Swap it for a real copper chimney top or a real chrome hand rail. Superb review Sam. Bought one. Lovely.
I great wee loco released within the Hornby 100th Year Anniversary. I acquired my Limited Edition # 831/2000 model for £98.99 last week (Feb 5th) from Kernow Model Rail Centre. I just checked before typing this and they still have more than 10 in stock if you are looking one for yourself or as a gift. If you get one of the angled plastic plate stands, you could have your Peckett Plaque sitting out on display. Otherwise if you like a cuppa from your army mess kit mug, then this would be about the right size and shape to use as a coaster, lol. As for the loco a good review by you Sam as usual and I am pleased with the models livery printing, details and running.
Absolutely love the Pecketts! I got a W4 in the Port of London Authority blue and I can’t stop running it on my layout! This one looked great in the grey!
Great review as always. Just bought one of these. Delighted with it. Being from Bristol it's great to see my local heritage in model form. I might get addicted to them. I like the builders plate might make it into a fridge magnet. Cheers Paul.
haha I'm not sure though - it's too slim for any standard mug... and it's about a centimetre tall, so would be a major tea-spilling opportunity! ;D Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Bit slow to respond to your video but I've only just subscribed. Just got this little locomotive. Its brill. Keep up the good work. Really enjoy your videos
Should get a broadway limited Y6b one day Sam. You haven't seen power on a layout till you see one of those. I'll bet it could pull about every wagon and coach you have.
Sam, Rails have the LNER Dynamometer Car in stock. Not trying to tell you to buy that since it is so expensive. Rapido really did a very detailed coach.
Looks really nice, I agree that Grey is quite a striking colour, I like it in the DC freight 60’s. Would you do a review on the Hunt Couplings Buckeye Elite or any hunt couplings to be fair?
Thank you! Sure, it's a great livery isn't it? I did review the hunt couplings during a live stream - they worked well, but broke when I removed them from the NEM pockets, so wasn't too impressed! Thanks for watching, Sam :)

Absolutely - it's the same with any detail... ultimately pointless, but a representation of the real thing... so that's the point! I say such omissions should be reflected in the price, which is why I usually mention it! Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Hi Sam, Very nice loco. Love it ! A bit hairy... but a fantastic performer and amazing puller even with the 3-pole motor. It just needs a 'stay alive' to cross the points on slow speed for aren't they shunters prototypical ? I would give this an overall 9/10. (You're a bit harsh here imho). Thanks for the nice review. Greetings,
Thanks a lot Filip - yes one of the hairiest locos I've ever seen! Sure, stay alive and DCC (space permitting) would do wonders for this! Thanks for watching, Sam :)
AFAIK below the photo colors is the scheme ordered by the customer. The white, gray and black are chalk mixed with various amounts of charcoal, and will be washed off with a steam cleaner before final delivery
Sam, why are you complaining about getting a free Chinese woman’s hair, by the length of it? If you bought hundreds more of this model you could even get a free Chinese wig when combined. Now wouldn’t that be a bargain? Jim
Brilliant video as always Sam! I personally love the jazz/rag time piano music you have in your videos and was pleasantly surprised to hear ‘The Entertainer’ here!! I found myself playing along in my head!! Happy new year!!
I'm happy you're running it. I hate the people who buy them and just leave them in the box forever. It's such a nice little loco and a waste not to run it! Another good video sam and I can't wait for the next. 👍
A nice review, Sam. If someone can install a Sound Chip and a Stay Alive to a Ruston and take away the Conflat wagon off, then I am sure you could fit a Stay Alive. Martin. (Thailand)
Uh was it me or did that look like a pubic hair??? 🤢🤮 That or a really long beard hair, but that really begs the question 'how did it get there if it was.... 🤔
Hey Sam! I recently got a Bachmann DC Thomas, and he doesn't seem to run well at all. He is very picky, and even if the slightest connection is lost, he cuts off COMPLETELY on Bachmann Nickel Silver EZ track. Since I'm only starting, I used a micro fiber cloth on the rails and a rubbing alcohol tipped q-tip for his wheels. I have only opened him twice, and his gears grind together loudly. What am I doing wrong? I'll accept any help! Thanks in advance! - Will's Corner
Hi Sam I just wanted to know how much you paid for the Model as I am interested in the Model and I love the videos keep up the informative and inspiring videos. cheers :)
@@SamsTrains thank you for letting me know and I think I will save up to buy one but it will probably be for my 17th which Ages away in November so quite some time
A beautiful model. I still don't have a peckett myself, although I'd prefer the standard peckett light green or the manchester shipping canal blue liveries. Ideally, I'd get Peckett 2049 of 1944, named General. It worked at Doxfords ship yard in Sunderland, alongside loads of RSH crane tanks. But it isn't a W4, so would need a rtr model modifying, or a kit with modifications. Seems odd that they haven't tried to upgrade to a standard 6-pin dcc socket, 4-pin is just silly in 2021. Question is, which is your favourite grey steam loco? This peckett, the 1361, or the garratt? And will you be getting the grey W1 to match?
A beautiful little model, thank you Sam. It's a little bit of a shame that Hornby use that gold flek paint on the detail parts. Other than that though a little smasher.
Mukka... NOOOOOOOOO! Do not touch the builders plate. I've seen your handyman skills! It will end up in bits! As for the hair... lets hope it's not pubic in origin! Hahaha...
@@SamsTrains hi mukka, just a thought... peel off the velour base and stick a piece of flexible magnetic material (a bit of a magnetic 'L' plates for example) on the back. You can then turn it into a fridge magnet! I''ve done that to a few items over the years. My fridge is covered in hand made magnets. Hope your mum won't mind! Cheers fro Oz. Gary
Sam, you know what I would like to see in model form? This probably sounds quite insane. I really want someone to make Pyongyang Metro rolling stock. Maybe Bachmann China, Kunter or CMR Line should give that a try. Actually Marklin may be able to do this because Pyongyang Metro uses second hand Berlin U-Bahn trains.
No one has made one because they would breach article 43Vii sub clause 'e' of the United Nations sanctions against North Korea... which clearly states, "North Korean trains are not to be produced in model form especially in scales N, HO, OO, O and Gauge 1."
Wow really?! I never knew that about North Korean trains.... what happens if a manufacturer outside of the country decides to just do it?? ;D Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Thanks for another great video Sam, I ordered one from Rails on the day that the 2020 range was launched. This would later be cancelled so I quickly found another more local retailer who also sells at at least a 10% discount. I’m pleased with my first pecket (it probably won’t be my last) for £98.98. I use my builders plate as a paper weight now. Thanks Eddie
Agreed with you. Despite not having a 5 poles motor, the Peckett W4 is a must have, especially if you are modelling light railways or industrial ones. Pity for the plasticky parts, especially on a limited edition model. It can be accepted to keep the price low on the standard issue (but this is questionable), but here... For the hair, use it for a DNA test and send the result to Hornby, they will find who to fire !
Nice model. Shame there are a few quality issues, though... if they'd sorted some of those out, and not bothered with the resin builder's plate (or just raised the RRP by £10), then I expect they would still have sold.
Heya Sam. I've a Peckett W4 after watching your reviews. I tend to purchase a new model per year to run around the Christmas tree. In other reviews of Pecketts you mention that it stalls on the points unless it is electrified. I've done a bit of googling and I'm unsure what that means. Mine is installed with a DCC chip and on the profile its max running speed is 10mph which means it stalls on the points all the time. Can you advise what I can do to either change the points or extend the contacts of the model so its pick up gauge is enough for it to sale over.
Hi Sam after seeing your reviews of the peckett ,and now getting back to the hobby so I’ve just got one myself. Your video doesn’t do the size Justice, it’s a mini marvel,I haven’t run it yet but I’m sure I’ll be as pleased as I am with the look of it.
Hi Sam, i'm from France and i really like your videos (discovered recently) i was looking for a Bagnall Steam loco that look very much like the Pecket (we got one in the "Transvap" association in France). I was wondering if the OO scale can run on HO (code 100 Peco) and if the have Nem Coupling (i run short Roco coupling or "harpoon") and if the height if compatible (to match the HO height of the buffers). Thank you from France.
I've really enjoyed this one Sam - infact, it might be one of my favourite reviews of yours yet 👍. Best model of the year so far lol 😂! It is a shame that some details aren't metal, or that they have been painted in a plasticy colour. I quite like the fact that they have included a certificate (I quite like showing them on display) & a builders plate - it is quite unusual, but I wish they had made a bracket on the back so you could hang it up! Other than that, I think it is a really good quality model and it performs well too. The packaging looks fab too. Thanks for this one! 👍
That's lovely to hear, thanks so much, really glad you enjoyed it! Yeah parts of this look a bit cheap, but no complaints overall! Thanks for watching, Sam :)
She certainly is a fine loco. The colour is odd but I do see what they were going for. All in all a fine addition to your Peckett Fleet. Hmm in regards to your Builders plate I wonder if it would be worth getting double sided sticky pads to mount it on the wall as understandably you wouldn't want to modify it in any way due to it's scarcity.
My only somewhat high quality model is a king class locomotive, from the Royal Mail(?) limited edition. Got it at a pretty cheap price for a locomotive like that too.
@@SamsTrains I just calculated how much I paid for it. Think it was a good price. 129 Australian dollars, which is somewhere in the 70 pound range at today’s rates. Judging by some of the rrps on some of the models I’ve seen on this channel, that sounds fair cheap. It’s not top of the range, but the buffers are sprung, it’s got some separately fitted handrails, and I think the tender footplate is die cast, but I don’t know for sure. I don’t have a railway to run it on right now, it’s in dads shed in a non operative condition, but I keep this model with me because I don’t trust dad to take care of it. Don’t know why I wanted to talk about this. I suppose I’ve not got many people to talk about it with. Sorry for rambling... you’ve got some gorgeous locos Sam. I wish I had a bit more will power to dedicate to the hobby...
Looks very good, so small and Hornby did not go for the coreless motor. I suppose in reality these engines would never leave the company shunting yard. Still puzzles me where they would put the spare coal.
That's not all. My new NCB Electrotren Tank Engine in red and black, with yellow lining, arrived at the same time as the Peckett. The Tank Engine, also from ebay, has yet to get her first run. I've given in to Princess Elizabeth, not because of you this time, but rather of my own accord. As you already know, Paul Boyland is keeping the Princess, an 03 Shunter and the same ghostly grey Peckett engine in Kelly's Kept Cabinet. Alongside the Thomas Train Set and some more human figures, that is. Spookie and her ghost twin Spunky will be up to more mischief than Thomas & Friends characters Bill and Ben. Human figure Oliver is up to no good in any case. When you have looked at my new videos, you can tell me in the comments whether or not you think he'll get away with his sneaky Hopper Wagon ride. Sounds like I'm stirring up trouble, I admit.
Wow! You lucky person, though why is Paul keeping a Princess in his cabinet? She should be set free at once. I get that some people aren't keen on the royal family, but to lock one in a cupboard is bang out of order. I trust you have contacted the police? Could you maybe take some food to the shop, distract Paul, and feed the Princess? Her life may depend on it! Thanks for watching, Sam :)

Please explain why sprung buffers are an issue? Most rollingstock dont have them and I dont see what they would add to the enjoyment of the running of a model
Sprung buffers are a nice touch, it's just nice to have an extra, more realistic feature, even though they might not be functional when using traditional tension locks.
If you modify the couplings to use magnets or close couplers, which are produced by other companies, then the buffers may actually spring back when coupling depending on the product used and how close the couplings go.
It is a nice feature, even though it may not be used. Like a "roast chicken" setting on a microwave, you may not actually use it, but it's nice to have it there!
Absolutely - it's the same with any detail... ultimately pointless, but a representation of the real thing... so that's the point! I say such omissions should be reflected in the price, which is why I usually mention it!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Hi Sam, Very nice loco. Love it ! A bit hairy... but a fantastic performer and amazing puller even with the 3-pole motor. It just needs a 'stay alive' to cross the points on slow speed for aren't they shunters prototypical ? I would give this an overall 9/10. (You're a bit harsh here imho). Thanks for the nice review. Greetings,
Thanks a lot Filip - yes one of the hairiest locos I've ever seen! Sure, stay alive and DCC (space permitting) would do wonders for this!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
AFAIK below the photo colors is the scheme ordered by the customer. The white, gray and black are chalk mixed with various amounts of charcoal, and will be washed off with a steam cleaner before final delivery
Ahh very interesting - duly noted!! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Sam,
why are you complaining about getting a free Chinese woman’s hair, by the length of it? If you bought hundreds more of this model you could even get a free Chinese wig when combined. Now wouldn’t that be a bargain?

That's true Jim - heaven knows I could use that! xD
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Brilliant video as always Sam! I personally love the jazz/rag time piano music you have in your videos and was pleasantly surprised to hear ‘The Entertainer’ here!! I found myself playing along in my head!! Happy new year!!
Thanks so much! haha yeah it's a classic isn't it?! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
I'm happy you're running it. I hate the people who buy them and just leave them in the box forever. It's such a nice little loco and a waste not to run it!
Another good video sam and I can't wait for the next. 👍
haha yeah me too - they're meant to be run!!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
A nice review, Sam. If someone can install a Sound Chip and a Stay Alive to a Ruston and take away the Conflat wagon off, then I am sure you could fit a Stay Alive. Martin. (Thailand)
You're right Martin, though I'd never be able to do it myself! xD
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Hornby website still has some available...great review as always- thanks Sam 🚂
Yeah! There are more on Hatton's too now... maybe they didn't sell out as fast as we thought?!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
@@SamsTrains I ordered mine early last year as I definitely thought they would sell out quickly - beautiful little engine 👍 am just glad to have one 😀
Uh was it me or did that look like a pubic hair??? 🤢🤮 That or a really long beard hair, but that really begs the question 'how did it get there if it was.... 🤔
haha no comment... I certainly didn't keep it around long to inspect it! ;D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Beautiful loco Sam. I pretty sure that builers plate is indeed a coaster.
Thanks Alco! Is it though?! I don't have a single mug that would fit on it properly! xD
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
@@SamsTrains in that case I am out of ideas.
Gorgeous little locomotive!! Gorgeous looking, great character, fine detail!! What more can anyone who wants a good locomotive want?!!
Thanks mate, yep - absolutely stunning aren't they?! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Hey Sam!
I recently got a Bachmann DC Thomas, and he doesn't seem to run well at all. He is very picky, and even if the slightest connection is lost, he cuts off COMPLETELY on Bachmann Nickel Silver EZ track. Since I'm only starting, I used a micro fiber cloth on the rails and a rubbing alcohol tipped q-tip for his wheels. I have only opened him twice, and his gears grind together loudly. What am I doing wrong? I'll accept any help! Thanks in advance!

What a fantastic Peckett ❤️
And you can review any Peckett every week i would still love to look
haha I feel the same - I'd love that!! :D

What a brilliant train, I did a video of it over on my channel, it is an absolute stunner of a model and I enjoyed seeing you review it - Leighton :)
Thanks mate, I'll check that out, they are stunning! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Love the Pecketts they are great models and this one has an interesting livery-Ben
Thanks Ben, glad you liked this one! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
Hi Sam I just wanted to know how much you paid for the Model as I am interested in the Model and I love the videos keep up the informative and inspiring videos. cheers :)
Hey Lewis, I think I paid £110 for this, or there abouts!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
@@SamsTrains thank you for letting me know and I think I will save up to buy one but it will probably be for my 17th which Ages away in November so quite some time
Great vid. They should have featured that loco on choo-choo Charlie the little engine that could
haha you're right, this would have been perfect! ;D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Gorgeous loco! I think a pint of Theakston’s would look splendid sitting on that builder’s plate 😎
Thanks Ian - haha that's a good call! xD
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
A beautiful model. I still don't have a peckett myself, although I'd prefer the standard peckett light green or the manchester shipping canal blue liveries.
Ideally, I'd get Peckett 2049 of 1944, named General. It worked at Doxfords ship yard in Sunderland, alongside loads of RSH crane tanks. But it isn't a W4, so would need a rtr model modifying, or a kit with modifications.
Seems odd that they haven't tried to upgrade to a standard 6-pin dcc socket, 4-pin is just silly in 2021.
Question is, which is your favourite grey steam loco? This peckett, the 1361, or the garratt? And will you be getting the grey W1 to match?
Thanks a lot Lapis - yeah maybe the green is nicer, I'm undecided! I think the P class might be mine! ;D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
A beautiful little model, thank you Sam. It's a little bit of a shame that Hornby use that gold flek paint on the detail parts. Other than that though a little smasher.
Thanks Mike, yeah not a fan of that paint, but very happy overall! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Nice vid Sam!
Edit:Congrats on 95k almost 100k!!!!!!!
Thanks so much - I can't believe how many there are now!! :O

Mukka... NOOOOOOOOO! Do not touch the builders plate. I've seen your handyman skills! It will end up in bits! As for the hair... lets hope it's not pubic in origin! Hahaha...
haha I won't mate - I know better than to try and drill resin! ;D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
@@SamsTrains hi mukka, just a thought... peel off the velour base and stick a piece of flexible magnetic material (a bit of a magnetic 'L' plates for example) on the back. You can then turn it into a fridge magnet! I''ve done that to a few items over the years. My fridge is covered in hand made magnets. Hope your mum won't mind! Cheers fro Oz. Gary
Sam, you know what I would like to see in model form? This probably sounds quite insane. I really want someone to make Pyongyang Metro rolling stock. Maybe Bachmann China, Kunter or CMR Line should give that a try. Actually Marklin may be able to do this because Pyongyang Metro uses second hand Berlin U-Bahn trains.
No one has made one because they would breach article 43Vii sub clause 'e' of the United Nations sanctions against North Korea... which clearly states, "North Korean trains are not to be produced in model form especially in scales N, HO, OO, O and Gauge 1."
Make sense. But I am sure Heris made some North Korean coaches.
Wow really?! I never knew that about North Korean trains.... what happens if a manufacturer outside of the country decides to just do it?? ;D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Thanks for another great video Sam, I ordered one from Rails on the day that the 2020 range was launched. This would later be cancelled so I quickly found another more local retailer who also sells at at least a 10% discount. I’m pleased with my first pecket (it probably won’t be my last) for £98.98. I use my builders plate as a paper weight now.
Thanks
Eddie
Yeah I had mine cancelled by Rails too, had to re-order mine as well! haha good idea - that's one good use for it!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Great review Sam, maybe do a review of the new Bachmann 20/3
Thank you! Great idea - I love the looks of those! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
Agreed with you. Despite not having a 5 poles motor, the Peckett W4 is a must have, especially if you are modelling light railways or industrial ones.
Pity for the plasticky parts, especially on a limited edition model. It can be accepted to keep the price low on the standard issue (but this is questionable), but here...
For the hair, use it for a DNA test and send the result to Hornby, they will find who to fire !
I agree Oliver, definitely a must have!! :D
Good idea - that could be fun actually, lol!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Nice model. Shame there are a few quality issues, though... if they'd sorted some of those out, and not bothered with the resin builder's plate (or just raised the RRP by £10), then I expect they would still have sold.
Thanks Christopher, yes pity about those, but overall very decent - and the price certainly wasn't too bad!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
I just got mine two days ago. Glad we have another engine in common.
Ahh fantastic - are you happy with it? They're wonderful aren't they?! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
With matching hairs?
At 9:10 I swear the builders plate is just about to fall! Swift edit ;) Great video - I really love the W4 Peckett
haha well spotted - it did indeed! Yep - me too!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Heya Sam. I've a Peckett W4 after watching your reviews. I tend to purchase a new model per year to run around the Christmas tree. In other reviews of Pecketts you mention that it stalls on the points unless it is electrified. I've done a bit of googling and I'm unsure what that means. Mine is installed with a DCC chip and on the profile its max running speed is 10mph which means it stalls on the points all the time. Can you advise what I can do to either change the points or extend the contacts of the model so its pick up gauge is enough for it to sale over.
Beautiful little loco sam , I know my loco model shop has one of these will probably pay a visit when they reopen 👍😀
Ahh fantastic - I'd go for it mate, they're epic! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Hi Sam after seeing your reviews of the peckett ,and now getting back to the hobby so I’ve just got one myself.
Your video doesn’t do the size Justice, it’s a mini marvel,I haven’t run it yet but I’m sure I’ll be as pleased as I am with the look of it.
I was thinking today "I wonder if sam will get anymore peckett?"
haha, that's a spooky coincidence.... there's your answer! ;D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
the builders plate was a bit overscale, not sure how you will glue it on to the loco...
Yeah I know, it just tipped over when I tried! :(
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
you could put a strip of Velcro on your wall and stick the builder's plate to it.
Careful, don't encourage him! Hehehe...
haha yeah - I could actually do that though!!? Hmmm ;)
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Hi Sam, i'm from France and i really like your videos (discovered recently) i was looking for a Bagnall Steam loco that look very much like the Pecket (we got one in the "Transvap" association in France). I was wondering if the OO scale can run on HO (code 100 Peco) and if the have Nem Coupling (i run short Roco coupling or "harpoon") and if the height if compatible (to match the HO height of the buffers).
Thank you from France.
Really nice loco this... stunning livery.
Another amazing review. Thanks, Sam 🙌🏻
Thanks Danny, I agree - they did a grand job with this! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Each of the limited editions have a black hair fitted from the factory - somewhere in China there is an almost bold Chinese assembler 😏
haha! Well I appreciate their sacrifice - it went down really well, thoroughly enjoyed it with my dinner!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
just ordered mine!
I would love to know more about the hair. But more so I wanna see whose fingerprint was on the Heljan Tango.
haha, you're definitely the person to find out! I'll send it to you for testing if you like?
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Is the builders plate, not supposed to be used a tea coaster?
I don't think so - I can't find a mug slim enough to fit! ;D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Excellent! I learn so much watching your videos. Thank you! I just hope I don’t get the bug. I’ve got no room in my place!!
Thanks very much Woody.... I'm sure you'll get the bug soon enough! ;D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
I've really enjoyed this one Sam - infact, it might be one of my favourite reviews of yours yet 👍. Best model of the year so far lol 😂!
It is a shame that some details aren't metal, or that they have been painted in a plasticy colour. I quite like the fact that they have included a certificate (I quite like showing them on display) & a builders plate - it is quite unusual, but I wish they had made a bracket on the back so you could hang it up!
Other than that, I think it is a really good quality model and it performs well too. The packaging looks fab too.
Thanks for this one! 👍
That's lovely to hear, thanks so much, really glad you enjoyed it! Yeah parts of this look a bit cheap, but no complaints overall!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)

She certainly is a fine loco. The colour is odd but I do see what they were going for. All in all a fine addition to your Peckett Fleet. Hmm in regards to your Builders plate I wonder if it would be worth getting double sided sticky pads to mount it on the wall as understandably you wouldn't want to modify it in any way due to it's scarcity.
Thanks a lot! Yeah good idea, that might be worth a try!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
What is that sore thumb sticking out on the yard entry. I don't know what kind of engine it is, but I know it is a diesel.

Awesome engine and video sam
Thanks AJ! :D
@@SamsTrains your welcome
My only somewhat high quality model is a king class locomotive, from the Royal Mail(?) limited edition. Got it at a pretty cheap price for a locomotive like that too.
Ahh yeah those Kings are excellent indeed! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
@@SamsTrains I just calculated how much I paid for it. Think it was a good price. 129 Australian dollars, which is somewhere in the 70 pound range at today’s rates. Judging by some of the rrps on some of the models I’ve seen on this channel, that sounds fair cheap. It’s not top of the range, but the buffers are sprung, it’s got some separately fitted handrails, and I think the tender footplate is die cast, but I don’t know for sure.
I don’t have a railway to run it on right now, it’s in dads shed in a non operative condition, but I keep this model with me because I don’t trust dad to take care of it.
Don’t know why I wanted to talk about this. I suppose I’ve not got many people to talk about it with.
Sorry for rambling... you’ve got some gorgeous locos Sam. I wish I had a bit more will power to dedicate to the hobby...
Class 33 soon? 👀👀👀👀👀
Good call! I'll look out for one! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Looks very good, so small and Hornby did not go for the coreless motor. I suppose in reality these engines would never leave the company shunting yard. Still puzzles me where they would put the spare coal.
Thanks Ian! This actually runs much better and quieter than my coreless motor locos, so I'm glad they didn't! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
I was hoping for a photographic grey running session with this one. Nice model, can't wait to get mine!
That's a good idea - I'll see about doing that! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Hey Sam I was wondering if you could tripple-head all your W4's at some point, that would be awesome!
That'd be epic, I'll do that some time for sure! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Great Video Sam And That Engine Looks Like Bill And Ben From Thomas And Friends
Thanks a lot Jacob, yeah it does actually! :D
That's not all. My new NCB Electrotren Tank Engine in red and black, with yellow lining, arrived at the same time as the Peckett. The Tank Engine, also from ebay, has yet to get her first run. I've given in to Princess Elizabeth, not because of you this time, but rather of my own accord. As you already know, Paul Boyland is keeping the Princess, an 03 Shunter and the same ghostly grey Peckett engine in Kelly's Kept Cabinet. Alongside the Thomas Train Set and some more human figures, that is. Spookie and her ghost twin Spunky will be up to more mischief than Thomas & Friends characters Bill and Ben. Human figure Oliver is up to no good in any case. When you have looked at my new videos, you can tell me in the comments whether or not you think he'll get away with his sneaky Hopper Wagon ride. Sounds like I'm stirring up trouble, I admit.
Wow! You lucky person, though why is Paul keeping a Princess in his cabinet? She should be set free at once. I get that some people aren't keen on the royal family, but to lock one in a cupboard is bang out of order. I trust you have contacted the police? Could you maybe take some food to the shop, distract Paul, and feed the Princess? Her life may depend on it!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
