Great video and very useful for a range of models. Crazy to think that these were running on layouts whilst the real thing was in service! Come to think of it when I retire these models will be 100 years old 😐Good grief!
A very interesting video, I have to service the X04 in my Hornby acHO SNCF 131TB, and this refresher course will come in handy! To pick out the smokebox door numbers you could use an old fashioned nib pen with well thinned paint. I've used this method with satisfying results.
Thanks Mike, a very enjoyable watch and a great style of presentation. Almost like being there. Running really well, lovely to see and hear up and down the test track. Thanks.
Mike - a most informative video, thank you! My Jinty underframe disappeared under a BEC kits ‘Black Motor’ many decades ago. As his apprentice piece (before the war) my father made a magnetiser which simply comprised mains coil and wire fuse on a polished based. Plugged into the mains, the fuse wire immediately blew but not before the magnet was remagnetised in that millisecond! - Colin
hello Mike,,,, i am showing my age but isn't the X04 motor withthe brass worm and the X03 with the plastiic worm whic was later product made just before that motor was passed in to the history books, great video
Another good and informative video Mike . I meant to ask you before but what is the length and depth of your wooden shelf wall mounted test track ? The reason i ask is that i have been thinking about doing something similar . I might even extend to go all the way round the wall and use it as loco run in test track(s) . Cheers
@@davidhardy7356 8 inches wide by 7 feet but I'm sure I trimmed it down to fit. Are you a member of our Facebook group? If so I can take some shots of it from various angles if it helps
@@ModelRailwaysUnlimited Hi Mike thanks again for that information .Those dimensions are perfect for what i have in mind . I am not a member of Facebook . Cheers !
Hi Mike. Wow, that took me back! I have a couple of Jintys. The oldest one has the very first type of tension lock coupling fitted (ex-Doublo's, I think) in plain, black livery with the early BR logo. It still runs, but as it has original wheels, it now resides in the display cabinet. Perhaps I should ask Mr Snooze whether he'd mind running it for me on his Super 4 track layout... Great video, thanks for sharing.
The hook on the early Tri-ang models isn’t Dublo. The ‘knuckle’ is what the moving hooks latch onto. With Dublo the whole thing rotates. They’d be worth seeing, with their warped bodies and whining noise they are very characterful.
@williamscates3915 Ah OK. I'd seen them on some Doublo wagons, so thought that's where they'd originated. Whatever their origin, they're the oldest tension lock couplings I've ever seen.
Great video Mike on the good old Jinty, Just wondering do you have the 1980s Hornby LBSC E2 tank number 100 and have you fought of doing a loco running video and history on them plus service guide? Cheers Guy 👍
Found the E2 in Southampton Docks Part 1 video, your dad it a cracking job it looks really good in the SR Black i hadn't realised Hornby also did the E2 in SR Maunsell Green.
I have the more modern Bachmann Branchlines Jinty, as he is my favourite LMS tank engine. I'd love to see your Jinty brothers running in opposite directions. 47608 could haul the chocolate vans, and 47606 could haul a rake of LMS or BR Maroon Mk. 1 coaches. Could you do that pretty please?
Please don't take this the wrong way as i enjoy the content of your videos, but please get a tripod for your camera. The wobbling around whilst your trying to do things one handed is very distracting & somewhat annoying.
Yes this is all explained on the channel, in the interest of showing the viewer what's going on and not making mistakes as I try to work around a tripod, work bench videos are usually (not always) hand held. Compromise unfortunately
It is always the content that makes you chanel worth watching. But it does look good in 4K as well.
Thanks 👍

Ah that's a great idea, a Sharpie pen might do it
Excellent. Woderful to see a first-class engineering job in miniature and to see old friends being loved.
Glad you enjoyed it, running video just been filmed. I had tons of fun 😄
Great video Mike, I might have to give my Jinty a service because It's starting to run a bit funny :)
Cheers Jasper & Willow
Thanks, good luck I'm sure it will go well 👍

Many thanks, running video is up now too. Posted the wheels today

Thanks, OMG 😮 LOL what a magnrtiser
@@ModelRailwaysUnlimited It was impressive and very well made.
Sadly I could not locate it after he passed away.
Very good Mike, a lot of us cut our teeth on these.
Thanks, yes indeed 😁
Really enjoy your service videos, thanks for this!
Glad to hear it! Thanks 👍
Wonderful fix and repair video Mike
Thanks glad it was helpful

I'll measure it up soon, but it was just one from Wickes
Thanks, I'll measure it up but it was just standard from Wickes
@@ModelRailwaysUnlimited thanks Mike but no hurry i look forward to reading it soon . Cheers !

Hi, I've got one but dad converted it and made it SR black. There might already be a video about it, I'll need to check

I notice you have n written on the blue magnetiser right side isnt it already marked north on the left on the base .?
Hi, yes marked the north myself, unsure why the base is marked
@@ModelRailwaysUnlimitedive just bought one they work well a great piece of kit.😊
@@stevenparsons4076 well done, what number is yours?
I got the magnetiser on e bay (no number)
@@stevenparsons4076 cool, I'm sure it will be great
