That Princess you found is a great piece of Model Railroading History, it was the first mass produced OO gauge plastic loco for the UK market and quite literally changed the game. Up until that point engines had primarily been diecast and rather expensive so when this hit the scene it stirred up the market. Very quickly Rovex and later Triang began the rise and Hornby Dublo began to fall.

Thanks for sharing, I wasn't aware that locomotive was such a game changer for the UK market. I bought several other UK locomotives around a month ago so I will probably set up some 00 track to test them all out.
Just set up a loop of Bachmann EX Track. I've got several Triang Eengines that are just as if not older than the ones you have and they run just fine even over switches.
@@historyotaku With all due respect I don't know how that's possible since I use code 100 which is the same size as EZ track and I've had countless 00 engines riding on the ties.
My 9 year old son and I are getting stuff together to make an HO layout. I showed him your videos and he's been talking trains non stop. And, I saw an ad on Craigslist for a BUNCH of Model Railroader magazines from the early 80s up to 2000 something, for free. So, we have been going through them and getting ideas for a layout. I just wish there was a place like Larkspur in my area. Keep up the awesome videos buddy.
Even printed 30 plus years ago those model railroader magazines are still just as valid for planning your layout. Make a list of what you want then make it happen :)
@BuildDude absolutely. Unfortunately, there aren't any shops that I am aware of that sell used stuff anywhere near me. So we cruise Craigslist and occasionally ebay for now.
I really enjoy watching enthusiasts nerd out over their hobby. Now I want to go dig through bins of vintage collections for that one gem I’m really looking for.
You really hit a goldmine in all that Hornby stuff. The Scotsman you saw was a NRM exclusive model from the mid 2000s, and one of the A4s was from a limited run known as the Commonwealth Collection. City of Birmingham is technically a Coronation class, Duchess is a nickname for the Coronations. The big set you found also had a Coronation in it. The Coronations were built with streamlining, and eventually had it removed for ease of maintenance. The LMS engine that was numbered 5085 is a Stanier class 5, real iconic engines. THe one called "Cock o' the North" is a Gresley P2, and that model was likely sound-fitted (based on what I know of Hornby releases). I believe the William Shakespear engine was a BR STandard class 7 (That is based on the name, lots of that class were named after historical figures or authors). THe British diesel was, in fact, a Deltic. Likely a Bachmann. That plunger powered Tri-ang loco might as well be a Hornby origin story. Neat find.
I am surprised you got so much German stuff there. Sadly we here in Germany don't have these vintage stores, its a definitely a bucket list thing for me to visit such a store. Greetings from Germany!🇩🇪
I see you've added some European rolling stock and locomotives to your collection, Harrison. The couplers on them are similar to LGB G scale and Märklin Z scale. Someone did a number on that caboose, if you can call it one. It's even smaller than a bobber. Keep on digging through the shop's boxes -- that's where you find the interesting stuff, bud. Thanks for sharing. 👍👍👍
The Tri-Ang Princess was designed to run on ‘triang system 3 ‘ track. The rails On that are huge. Its from around 1950/51. The Alberta in the shop is a LMS Jubilee class loco. And that green diesel was indeed a Deltic.
The Atlas CP engine would be either an Alco S2 or S4 from the Yellow box era. These units are great runners and can be often found used in a lot of places. While they lack some details of the re-released models from the current Atlas line, they make a great budget performer.
The inspiration for that one truck caboose probably came from an old comic feature drawing that were regular features in the back of Railroad Model Craftsman magazine circa 1970's through the 1980's.
4:54 That tender goes to a one of a kind Santa Fe steam engine I don’t remember the class but it’s a engine that I have always wanted in my collection of engines there are a few of these engines still in service like the one that goes straight through the middle of a highway don’t remember where but there’s a video on it and it’s very cool. I have a list of most wanted locomotives and that is one of them.
“Does the owner mind him rummaging through his boxes?” asks my wife. Very cool finds. I always appreciate you going through everything. Saves me the hassle. Lol. You never know what you’ll find there.
Adding the lumber camp Caboose (or a Swedish meatball to an awesome spaghetti train...) was the icing on the cake. A total beauty. The Atlas 7010 switcher (ALCO/MLW S1/S3), awesome, too! Today, CP 7010 is an SD70ACu. Nice haul, Harrison! Also nice to read how other people who giving information on your other pieces (i.e. U.K. rolling stock). John BC
Great finds! I'm looking for the old Western Pacific California Zephyr stuff to build a complete display of it. I kick myself for not buying it when I found one complete in a store 30 yrs ago. Oh well, got to pay the piper now to get the complete train! 🙃
It's a shame that you don't have enough room for another layout that engine would look great in a country style setting those wooden pieces are very impressive
that AT&SF 3751 is a real-life locomotive that is currently operating in California in the US. She's a 4-8-4 Northern. Very well-known in the U.S. You should definitely have gotten that.
Those look really nice! I love the tiny caboose. I also like the switcher, it's an ALCO S-2/ S-4. Those freight cars are very nice, I'm looking for some US variants of wooden freight cars like that
If still available, I would recommend you purchase the 4-8-4 ATSF 3751. The actual locomotive is located at San Bernardino, CA. There is talk about returning this loco to stream. Check out in Classic Trains Fallen Flags Santa Fe Remembered Holiday 2022 as there are several photos of 3751.
As always it is fun to watch you and friend dig through boxes looking for treasures. And then as much fun seeing your haul. Always enjoy seeing what runs and what will need "the Harrison Touch" to make it run in a future video. Thank you for sharing your day out. Did you save enough to have lunch with your friend? I am assuming it is something you do to round out your trip to look for treasures. 💕😊
Really neat haul from larkspur here. Yeah I have a atlas alco s2 as well but in gm&o paint scheme. Btw that’s pretty amazing that you put the kitbash mini caboose at the end of the Swedish train there I’ll tell you this it’s pretty something. I still see the Kato cn&w falcon service emd sd40 there if I was there I would’ve gotten that in my collection as I mentioned on your livestream btw thanks for sharing dude this I know you were there not too long ago either but hey the store probably always have some new ho scale inventory there I think idk?
Looks like a good chunk of the European German rolling stock you saw was either by Liliput or Märklin. And I can testify anything Liliput or Märklin is extremely rare to find in the states.
$65 for the Hornby Devon Belle Observation Car is actually a great price, they go for over £100 secondhand here in the UK 🇬🇧. I would go and buy it if I was you, they're getting harder to come by, by the day. 👍
A day for picking up cool stuff. I got an Athearn NYC Alco PA/PB&PA. All 3 powered/all wheel drive. $100@Ancaster trainshow. Cool cuz I had the coaches. Still watchin🚂🇨🇦🙋
After trainfest: I got a Walthers CN 100th anniversary engine. Its a EF-644zb but it said on the packaging it is a ES44ac so idk what it is. I also got a shirt, pin, and a hat
11:14. That European single axle rolling stock looks like the type portrayed in the 1965 movie 🎥 " Von Ryan's Express " starring Frank Sinatra and Trevor Howard.
The orange electric locomotives are Austrian State Railways (OBB) I took a lot of photos of the OBB in the early-mid 1970s as steam was reaching the end of the line.
it's a very early triang and they didn't do many of the plastic version , it is designed for early super 3 track that had a very deep rail section so incompatible with new track types , very nice condition display piece though won't be many around that good
@@SMTMainline don't know bud just know the flanges are that big that early triang stuff runs on the sleepers with most modern track types since the 50s/60s
Not sure what the asking price was on those locos in the not yet unboxed box were but the inner Pokemon wrangler of me came out I was thinking "Oh I need that one, and that one, and that, I don't have that..." That said I have a very big soft spot for passenger cars (but unwilling to pay $80 for some of them!) and some of those were giving me chills.
It's not bad, but the Roco products it's good, which were produced around 2000 (until 2015), which were in the store. The five austrian (capital city is WIEN, not SYDNEY) freight cars however, it was manufactured by someone else, unfortunately it has been discontinued. The ex. manufacture name is KLEIN (MODELL)BAHN maybe. Because that company was characterized by such a design of the coupling structure.
Now I might be wrong but the German freight cars you picked up may be from Marklin, I also have some pretty old cars in my collection and they also have the springs to old the couplers
Cool haul! The Santa Fe Northern, 3751 is quite nice. It's in honor of the restored ATSF 3751 Northern, that lives in Los Angeles California. Have had the distinct pleasure of chasing her several times over the years and being up close to her, when live. Been in her cab, several times. Special engine, how much did they want for it?

Even printed 30 plus years ago those model railroader magazines are still just as valid for planning your layout. Make a list of what you want then make it happen :)
I have a good advice for you, start the model railway with used locomotives and rails. You can save a lot of money.
@BuildDude absolutely. Unfortunately, there aren't any shops that I am aware of that sell used stuff anywhere near me. So we cruise Craigslist and occasionally ebay for now.
The sky is the limit for train layouts! You're going to have a great time.

Thanks Harrison, nice haul!
Always nice to see British loco's on the channel.
904 looks quite happy with those german freight cars, we did have similar looking freight cars anywhays great haul!
Great train store visit awesome👊👍🇺🇲
It’s an mdc roundhouse 2-6-0, from a kit. Fantastic runners.
That Video rocks but yes Goin to a Train shop with a Train friend Always Rock.

On that are huge. Its from around 1950/51.
The Alberta in the shop is a LMS Jubilee class loco. And that green diesel was indeed a Deltic.
The shortened caboose looks like a home-made version of the Kadee logging caboose (still made today as I recall). Interesting.

A nice German BR 38 a Prussian design steam locomotive very nice
Saw he had some tyco Baltimore and Ohio streamliner cars. Those cars were in a set with that blue Pacific you had a while ago

those roco diesels were beautiful
Hello SMT. I love the hobby store visits.
Their layout looks cool
If people wanted to start into Model Railroad this would Be The Place to go.a Place like there or Any Other train shop.
Your unknown steamer in the bag is a second to last generation of kit built MDC 2-6-0 "old timer" series of locos.
5:28 I’m pretty sure that might be Broadway limited, if it is it’s definitely dcc and sound
Those look really nice! I love the tiny caboose. I also like the switcher, it's an ALCO S-2/ S-4. Those freight cars are very nice, I'm looking for some US variants of wooden freight cars like that
Oh how I wish I had a Train Store where I had first debs on the stuff brought in…
a real nice haul
Nice finds your lucky to have a Train store within a few hours it’s online stores for me not much to offer in Washington state
The old marklin stuff has the spring connecting the couplers, it's probably where the couplers came from

That S shaped logo on those engines is the Austrian state railway or OBB the jackshaft electric was a swiss engine
ngl when you looked at that Santa Fe 3751, I would've snag that in a heart beat man.

Nice Ho scale model collection
The connecting spring under the european freight cars is something thought up by Märklin in the 30s, thus it was very widespread in Europe.
You could have used the little German engine from the "Buying shady model trains off of etsy" Episode 2. To pull the German train cars
Those old european cars may be 1950's Rivarossi or liliput cars, they could also be Fulgerex (Tenshodo)
When I saw that little caboose I thought “he has to get that”
It was strange but still something worthwhile.
@@SMTMainline I agree! I love stuff like that, it’s so creative!
I have n scale 2 axle Fleischmann cars. It’s interesting to here the diffrent clickity clacks from American stuff
Alberta is a bachmann jubilee class named after commonwealth territories

I could be wrong but I think those triang Hornby locos with plastic wheels are really rare and valuable
cool video! dump that plastic junk and buy the vintage stuff.. the Swedish loco and German cars looked great..keep up the good work!!😎😎
I do hope that Canadian national daylight gets some work done to it
Nice Haul
I hope you got that Santa Fe engine that is a Broadway limited locomotive not a bachman
it's a very early triang and they didn't do many of the plastic version , it is designed for early super 3 track that had a very deep rail section so incompatible with new track types , very nice condition display piece though won't be many around that good
I think I have some code 120 on hand that should work.
@@SMTMainline don't know bud just know the flanges are that big that early triang stuff runs on the sleepers with most modern track types since the 50s/60s
Rolling stock looked all the same in Europe during the 50s…into the 70s..those went together very well…
Awesome
I think that triang princess is an old marks and Spencer, it's a British retail store
The Atlas is an Alco S2 or S4, same as the S2 that I'm working on trying to get running again at my museum I'm a part of
Not sure what the asking price was on those locos in the not yet unboxed box were but the inner Pokemon wrangler of me came out I was thinking "Oh I need that one, and that one, and that, I don't have that..."

the orange locos where the Austrian railways OEBB
The engine called Alberta is an LMS Jubilee. Kind of similar to the castles though
4:05 yes,, that is a BR Class 55 ''Deltic''
Aye! I'm glad to hear it :)
That Santa Fe engine was from Broadway Limited, not Bachmann. Broadway Limited is a premium steam brand. I would have jumped on that.
I wish I had known that.

What type of paint should I use for painting a HO scale lifelike loco? Just wondering because I plan to paint a lifelike F7 soon.
Great Stuff!
Now I might be wrong but the German freight cars you picked up may be from Marklin, I also have some pretty old cars in my collection and they also have the springs to old the couplers
I haven't seen Marklin products with a wooden frame but I could be wrong.
For the euro stuff you bought: those look like someone tossed a whole box of Weinert brass and whitemetal on them
10:52 thats a ALCO S2 switcher theres one like that but orange at the train museum in my home town

You need Triang Super 4 Track. It is something like Code 120.
I think I already have some luckily.
Atlas made the Alco S2 in the 1980s
The Triang loco is very early. Mid 1950's and the first type they made.
I would have thought its more like 1951
I never would have guessed it was 50s era.
When you want to Party this Is how you do it Go to a train shop and Spend All day At a Train Shop.
