My great grandfather had one of these train sets. I don’t know if he ever used it nor his orient express set he had. When he left us his sets were sold and ever since I keep a keen eye on eBay for them if one would go fairly cheap as I would like to try and get both sets he had as a thing in memory of him. Seeing this set always reminds me of him and makes me smile so I must say a massive thank you for sharing this. Also I now have a bigger idea as to what will come through the post if/when I get one. Best wishes Matthew
@@LittleWicketRailway They are very nice models with all the detail you'd expect with a new tooling and it runs well also. It also has a firebox glow effect which is quite nice too.
Great video man on a great set just something to tell you but the drop link on the right hand side of the locomotives valve gear is the wrong way round The drop link is the section that holds the piston into the cylinder if you didn’t know
You're right and now I know what a drop link is! Well spotted, all has now been corrected. Just the bag of random parts that came in the box left to reattach 😂
@@LittleWicketRailway I still have to get Hornby R1106K and there are a couple of locomotives. I got a Diamond Jubilee set this week with a Britannia locomotive.

@@LittleWicketRailway glad I could help
I've been collecting the royal sets for a while. I got this and the M&S packs unopened. There is still one I have to get but I have seen it for sale
Which one are you still looking for and which is the best?
