I agree with you Sam. If Hornby made all their models like this then they would not be in trouble, but some one obviously wants to squeeze every penny out of us. Budget Model Railways has a video on this issue if you want more detail
Thanks mate - absolutely! And some of their latest releases have been as good as this - they just need to work on getting decent pricing now, and they'll be there! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I love your blood and custard coaches. And I do love the green one just a little better than the lined black. I do like that red lining on it though
I have never seen such a excellent detailed cab on a Hornby locomotive!!! Just great, Love it!! Cheers Onno.
Thanks Onno - yeah the cab is just superb in this one - glad you liked it! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
All that lining and detail! Man!
haha I know - it's awesome isn't it?? :3
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Marvellous loco. Your videos never fail to cheer me up. Your charm and enthusiasm are always infectious :)
Thanks very much - that's really lovely to hear!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Some fun LNER news for you Sam, LNER is making a comeback on the East Coast Mainline soon as a nationalised service.
Thanks Jack! Yes I read about this - what a turn up for the books! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Nice! I remember the teardown of the loco and I think you mentioned doing this review in a livestream.
Thanks a lot Toad - yes absolutely, I like to refer to this one as an example of a great mechanism! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I get excited whenever I see locomotives from the LNER. LNER is my favourite railway of all time because of flying Scotsman, mallard, and the A1's
haha thanks Mayo - I feel the same way too, haha! ;D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
24:34 When you finally get to eat your crisps after filming a video
haha!! That did sound like crisps!! xD
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Hey mate. Thought I’d let you know that I bought one of these a couple of days ago and also a princess and a class16 diesel from rails of Sheffield. They’re really good. Helpful combo of your reviews planting seeds in my head and rails’ excellent service over the years, and I ended up having a Christmas splurge since it’s been a right crap year! Hope you have a wonderful Christmas nevertheless, and look forward to your Xmas present reviews!
Thanks for sharing Chris - yes they are wonderful aren't they? Nothing wrong with a Christmas splurge - I think that's a very good idea!
Merry Christmas - Sam :)
@@SamsTrains haha. Not at all! I had a right blow out. Hope you have a happy Christmas. I’m sure it’s tough in your area at the moment with these restriction. It’s times like this we realise playing with trains for a job is a bloody brilliant idea. Can work in total safety away from people. Still do what you love and still earn enough to bother doing it. I commend you my man. Watched for years as you know and really think you’re a top bloke and thanks for improving my collection with your brilliant reviews year in year out of all the models you do, it really is great mate. Hope you’re proud of how far you’ve come on. Your viewers prove that. So yh. Happy Christmas mate and here’s to another year of playing with trains!!! 🎉🎉
I still can’t get over this beauty
haha me too - it's just awesome isn't it?? :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Swapping out the motor for a K1 with flywheel makes a big difference to slow speed running and adds a bit of weight where it’s needed. Springing the front bogey/truck helps with pulling as it sits with better balance over the four driving wheels.
Ahh thanks for the tips - I'll look into doing that!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Ooo, a steam train, do like the look of these models a lot! Good video :)
Thanks a lot - yeah these ones are particularly smart :3
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Nice looking 4-4-0 locomotive in the LNER black livery! :)
Thanks very much! Definitely a lovely one this! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Great review. It really is a very nice loco! :)
Thanks very much mate! Yeah I'm a huge fan of the D16s! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Love the d16’s especially the green one.
Thanks Jake - me too mate! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Very Good Sam i Like it
Keep the Videos Coming
LaZeR JET make some more videos
Thanks a lot Lazer! You too mate! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
Awesome Review Sam!
The other engines with names were:
‘Tornado’
‘Flying Scotsman’
‘The Cotswold’
Thanks very much James! Very well spotted mate - absolutely right! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Great as always Sam, I love these D16s but I wish hornby would make one in GER Blue livery
Thanks Brad! Me too - that would be amazing! Some changes to the tooling would be needed though :(
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Again a great review of a beautiful steam loco. I would prefer the green version.
Thanks very much Norbert! Yeah I think I (just about!) prefer the green! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I believe the reason they and many other classes became black with red lining was a money saving scheme introduced in the late 20s or early 30s. I've read that the few that remained green did so for hauling the royal train. Then from 1941 all classes of locomotive were painted black due to war conditions
Thanks for the info Chris - yeah that makes a lot of sense to me! Funnily enough, I expect that's why we see so many locos with those liveries in model form too!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Sam'sTrains you're welcome Sam. I've both a black and green D16, as much as I love my collection of LNER green locos the black with red lining livery looks so smart
It's beautiful! Wish Hornby modelled their Edward after this.
Thank you! I know - this would have looked better... though it would have cost a lot more ;D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Nice review! Still doesn't beat my bargain of a grand total of £0 for my D16 (I won a voucher from Hornby and used it there lol) but £70 isn't too bad! It's a beautiful model, definitely one of my favourite Hornby models!
Thanks Lukas! haha that's awesome - what a great bargain, lol! ;D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Saw the engine and automatically loved it
haha me too - I was like that when I first saw these also :3
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
When I was younger, I didn’t know Edward was a Furness Railway, (pre LMS, I think) engine, I thought he was an LNER engine, slightly similar to a D16, and that was what I believed as a child, but now I know it’s not.
haha yeah they do actually look pretty similar, lol! ;D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I got a p class for my birthday, and set of really nice headphones. The headphones make watching the reviews even better.
Ooh that's amazing - really hope you enjoy your new goodies Marco - how is the P class?? :3
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Lovely loco and nice vid Sam
Thanks James! Glad you liked her! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
Sam excellent video again, love your reviews.
Rails of Shefield has it for £69.50 at the moment the black LNER version
Thanks a lot Alex! Ooh duly noted - that sounds like a cracking bargain! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Good video Sam. Also, fun fact, the LNER B12s were actually stretched out versions of the D16's! The B12's designer, Stephen Holden, was actually the son of James Holden, who designed the Claud Hamiltons, according to the LNER Encyclopedia. And for the LNER Locos: LNER J94, LNER Peppercorn (A1/A2?) LNER A1 (Book Law I think), LNER B1, Q6, B12 and finally the D49. Also, I prefer the LNER apple green, because it's my favorite locomotive color, along with garter blue. It makes the engines stand out. Where I live I see black diesels all the time, it's nice to see engines with more color.
I think I got the number wrong, I spotted 7, I think. Ah well. It was fun to spot them nonetheless. :)
Thanks very much Patrick! haha yeah they look a lot like the B12 come to mention it! :D Thanks very much for all the info - and yeah I think I just about prefer the green too!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
One of my favourites, it’s easily the smoothest running loco I have. The pulling power is an issue for all my 4-coupled engines (D16, C1 and D11) except the Railroad D49, bizarrely. Tend to agree completely with the comments re:detail etc, but you can’t beat that price.
Thanks James! Yes indeed - they really are superb runners and haulers!
Thanks again for the support mate,
Cheers,
Sam :)
Not a problem, I enjoy watching and really need to do something of my own!
Locos were A1, Peppercorn A1, B12, B1 and J94. Are we doing odd one out? I’d say the Peppercorn if so.
I agree with your comments on price, while the grey pound allows models to be sold with ultra detail and eye watering prices its not sustainable.
The price barrier undoubtedly reduces new people entering the hobby which makes it more niche and more expensive. Some people claim "kids these days don't like modelling" which is utter rubbish, if Games Workshop gets young people building, painting and modelling why can't the train hobby appeal to them?
Even the railroad range is far from 'pocket money' prices...
Thanks Allan. I agree - the models are superb, but I very rarely feel that the prices are justified - let's hope they sort it out before they go out of business! If kids don't like modelling - it's because the prices are too prohibiting for them to give it a good go!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
i LOVE the livery on this one
Me too actually - it's awesome isn't it?? :3
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Love the d16 there’s a steam gala at Bo’ness in November they’ll run d49s j94s and loads more but you should visit the have the biggest railway museum in Scotland and a coach with a o gauge railway great video
Tony;)
Thanks mate! Ooh awesome - that sounds like a great event, I'd love to go and see that! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
WOW I LOVE THIS locomotive!!!!
Thanks Jody - me too! :D
What a super loco Sam, well reviewed as ever. I've got a bachmann City of London- no weight at all, it'll only pull one coach. Regards Terry
Thanks Terry - much appreciated! Blimey, that sounds a bit rough! My Bachmann City isn't that strong either, but I've had her pulling three... maybe the front bogey needs a adjusting on yours? It may be taking too much of the weight?
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
@@SamsTrains Search me from your family. But according to YTPGR 13 which stands for Yorktown Tennessee pearl general reunion fans-13. When will the L&YR Class 27 be released?
This is actually the first time EVER that I have preferred the black version of a loco to the green one! I think its because it reminds me of one of our local ex-GNRI locos. It's not the same as the GNRI used LMS and BR loco's not LNER but something about the shape is very similar.
haha that's awesome! Yeah this is one of the nicest looking models I have in LNER black - just amazing isn't it?? :3
Glad you liked her mate,
Cheers,
Sam :)
Shes a nice loco love the pait job
Thanks mate! Me too - it's so smart! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
Hi Sam nice review, I've got this model in LNER black though mine is #8825 and it's very nice in the black with the red lining. I enjoyed watching your 2 live streams this week look forward to seeing more like it. :)
Hi Joseph, thanks a lot mate! Ahh awesome - these LNER black ones are beautiful!
Glad you liked the streams,
Cheers,
Sam :)
Nice to see the Q6 is hauling a freight train of my staple 1970s childhood diet !
haha that's good to hear Nick!! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
Great video I loved it
Thanks very much Jayson! :D
Nice video, Sam!
Thank you! :D
Sam'sTrains my hamster passed away yesterday...
Holy cow that train runs really really smooth and good
Thanks Havok - yes she's a really lovely engine! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Like the model, would love one.
Thanks Richard - I can highly recommend them - from the right place, these are quite reasonably priced! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
The B12s are just a bigger version of the D16s. Also you maybe know this but the Raven Q6 and the D16 actually work on the same railway before the grouping on the GER (Great Eastern Railway).
Yeah it does definitely look that way! Ahh yes of course - I wonder if there are any GER layouts out there??
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Beautiful model! They said replica under construction is expected to take 10 to 20 years to complete! These engines deserve to be in existence!
Thanks Ryno! Blimey - that's a long time - hopefully we live to see it! ;D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I’m sure we’ll live to see it! ;D Your Welcome! Ryno :D
Hey Sam! Great video as always! I have a few dollars ($40 or $50) and I was wondering where I could find a nice British loco for around for what I have. Really loved the video once again! Cheers mate, Tyson :)
Thanks Tyson! Take a look at some of the Railroad range locos - you might be able to pick up a nice Jinty for that! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I love the LNER
Me too!! :D
Another fine review Sam, what struck me at my age, is that you think that any loco under £100 is a bargain....my goodness times have changed..ha..ha....Regards...Bob
Thanks very much Robert - I agree, it shouldn't be that way, but sadly it's true - any tender engine is a bargain these days, if it costs less than £100 :(
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Much cleaner than when I saw them in Leeds Central. Geoff. W.
haha really??
Yes . I am 76 and used to travel from Leeds to Bury St Edmunds for holiday.
He looks sweet in that black color
Thank you! I'll pass on your compliments to Mr D16!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Hi Sam, great video and lovely model!
Any hints on when Henry vs the Black 5 will come out?
Thanks very much mate! Ooh not yet - I've still not filmed that one yet :3
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Great vid Sam. Yeah, it’s a shame that this loco has a harsh review. But for your honesty, I completely understand. Cause you’re right, it’s an absolutely gorgeous engine. You’re the best youtuber with InterCity82 that can make really good loco reviews. :)
Thanks Ocean! I don't think it was too harsh - overall it was highly positive don't you think?? Thanks so much for all the support mate,
Cheers,
Sam :)
#8802 was built at Stratford Works on August 31st, 1910 originally for the GER as their #1802. It later became LNER #8802 in 1923 and later renumbered to 2593 in 1946. It became BR #62593 in 1948 and it was withdrawn from service on October 31st, 1957 and it was scrapped at Stratford Works on November 11th, 1957 at the age of 47.
Thanks for the handy info as always Vincent! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
My favorite is the Claud Hamilton and the class d16
Ooh great choice - those are superb! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
For the challenge, the locos are;
. DJM LNER J94
. Hornby BR D49
. Bachmann ROD 2-8-0
. LNER A1 4-6-2
. LNER B12
. LNER B1 4-6-0
. LNER A3 4-6-2

Very well spotted king - spot on! :D
Thanks for playing,
Sam :)
I hadn't noticed until now, but the hornby boxes are still using the same red exterior with the yellow trim on the inside...from the hornby/triang era...
haha yeah! That's something they've never lost... a really nice touch that is :3
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I prefer the LNER black, just because I think the red lining is more striking. Although I have a static model in N guage in GER blue which would beat both liveries hands down if Hornby produced that.
Thanks mate - yeah I really love the Black for that reason too... very difficult for me to choose! Oh blimey yeah, the blue would beat them hands down ;D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Great review Sam
Is it going to stay up for more than 5 minutes
Thanks David! Yes it's here to stay now, haha! ;D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
@@SamsTrains Search me from your opponents and your family. But according to YTPGR-13 which stands for Yorktown Tennessee Pearl General Reunion fans-13, Sam, we need to think this question through. When will the L&YR class 27 be released?
@@SamsTrains Kenji’s Right. When will the L&YR Class 27 be released, Sam?
Nice And a great price to
Thanks Leon - yeah fantastic price!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I’m torn Sam, if you had to choose between the D16 in LNER black, or the Oxford Rail N7 in GER livery, which would you recommend? Thanks!
Ooh they're both amazing - the N7 is the best value, but I'd say the D16 is the better of the models! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
4:43 - His name is Spike.
Cool!
Thank you! :D
Hi Sam, great video and a fab model. Curious though as I watched this video after your review of the LNER green version where you gave the performance 10/10. As this video is later is that a hindsight matter or was the green’s performance markedly different from the black? Just wondering generally as either way I think I still want one as everything else about the models are fab, and I really enjoy seeing your running sessions as part of your reviews too. Nick
Cheers Nick! From 2018 onwards, I was much harsher on performance. As I've collected more models, I've learned more about what makes a good performer. Back in 2017 I was just blown away by the livery, (and the lack of traction tyres!) so I probably was a little too generous! But generally no - both versions run the same!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Nice loco
Thanks Al! :D
That's great
Thanks Justin! :D
This makes me wonder if edward was based on this engine or a different one
This one is beter then the green one!
Thanks Marco! Really glad you liked that! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
just a heads up sam wednesday next week at 8;00 there is a train program on channel 4 there restoring some old coaches i think its the plum and custard ones might want to look it up
Ahh brilliant! Thanks very much for letting me know - that sounds good!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
a rereview next year would be good
Okay! I'll see about that! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Secound time round for the review XD, very nice loco, still not matching my bargain of £55 for one!
haha yep! Oh blimey, yeah that was a bargain - sheesh!! ;D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Very nice
Thank you! :D
Nice loco there Sam. Would you recommend me buying the railroad tornado for £80 new of ebay if not which other models would you recommend
Thanks a lot mate! Yeah £80 sounds okay - but double check on Hatton's and Rails of sheffield - they may be able to beat the price slightly! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Nice engine Kobe the colour-what is your favourite GWR tank engine?
Thank you! Hmm, I quite like the 4575 actually! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Great video dam I really love the D16s.
Quick question do DCC ready engines run on DC track if a decoder has not been added?
Thanks Steven - me too, they're fantastic! Yes! DCC ready is just a fancy way of saying DC anyway - so it works fine!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
@@SamsTrains When will the L&YR Class 27 be released?
Hello Sam Nice to meet you
Hey! Very nice to meet you too! :D
Hi Sam
Am unsure if you need another comment
But this loco made my list or wish list
Great video
Keep safe ARP
Thanks Adi, feel free to comment any time you like - I love hearing from you!
Great choice - I think you'll really enjoy this one! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK SOME XD
*Sam*
Thank you Zain! :D
I do like the Hamiltons, nice engines. A shame about the gear ratio, I'd think it makes more sense to have a high speed motor geared down for better torque at the wheels and more precise control. The motors ultimately fare better if they can run at a good speed with little load on them, very low rotation speed can be bad for them as well.
Thanks Jonatan - me too, such lovely things! Yeah I prefer them to be like that too - but maybe space was a bit of a limitation on this one? I suppose it's possible there wasn't enough room for any more gearing?
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Nice review Sam! Do you still offer your loco servicing services?
Thanks Gary! Yes I do, but I'm not accepting orders at the moment, due to the fact that I'm in the process of servicing my own collection! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Around the layout I saw a A1 and A3, a J94, a B12 and a B17. Where there any more?
Very well spotted - I think that was the lot! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
hi Sam great video as always just wondering if you could make a video servicing the Hornby coronation scot (the blue one ) as I just bought it and is my first big loco and I know nothing about maintaining locos thanks Senan x
Hey Sean, thanks a lot mate! Yeah sure - I'll add that to my list of locos to do servicing videos on! Take a look at the last servicing stream I did, the Hornby A4 and Black 5 have very similar mechanisms - hopefully you should get a good idea of what to do from those! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Which part of the model do you like the most that is made of cast Metal, the running board or the body?
Oooh I like the body - it's not often you get those made of metal! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
10:49 my favourite part
haha!! ;D
If I'm right, there were possibly seven other LNER engines on the track. I managed to name the B12, Flying Scotsman (?) and was it a K1 near the turntable? I can never remember the class of the Saddle Tank Engine or the 2-8-0 tender engine. Were there seven altogether? Your video displayed some of them so briefly, I couldn't count properly. So apologies for that. Not your fault, but I like the LNER apple-green liveried engines more than the black. You've done better with GWR engines, if I may say so.
Yep that is right, well done with those, thanks for playing! Yes sometimes they are quite difficult to spot when I only show a glance of them ;D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
If you do another diesel month again this year, you should get and review three of my favorite American diesel locomotives, the EMD F3, the EMD GP38-2, and the EMD SD40-2
Robert Lucido I agree with that!
Ooh nice idea - yeah I'd love to get some more American diesels - great suggestion! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I like it.
Thanks Nigel! :D
Search me. But according to YTPGR-13 which stands for Yorktown Tennessee Pearl General Reunion fans-13, Sam, we need to think this question through. When will the L&YR class 27 be released?
Kenji’s right, Sam. When will the L&YR Class 27 be released?
Are the wheel weights are in different positions accurate? i haven't seen that before.
I think that is accurate! Maybe the cylinders just act on one axel? In which case, that front driven axle will have a different centre of gravity to the back one without the weights!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Hello Sam really nice video really like it. I have a question is that locomotive similar to edward? And is Edward a D16 class or not?
Thanks a lot mate! No Edward wasn't a D16 (Molly was) - but this is a 4-4-0, so it looks very similar! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Sam'sTrains thanks!
What is your fav unpopular/Forgotten LNER locomotive?
Mine is the LNER P1 Mineral Mikados
Ooh that's a tricky one - I have no idea actually - but looking up the P1, that one looks very lovely! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Sam one quick question do you know any B-E-R loco models?
Hmm, I can't think of any James - do a quick search though, I'm sure you'll find some, if there are some! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I have a triang princess in green and there are LOTS of parts missing know where I can get some?
Lucky I found your servicing vid or it wouldn’t run either but it does run so that’s alright
Also I belive I’m very lucky to have found this model or it would be scrap by now
And as always good review - kyle
Ahh cool! I'd suggest buying another on ebay as spares and repairs - then you can take all the parts you need!
That's great to hear mate - glad the servicing vids were handy!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
she does look the part with the teaks :)
Thanks mate! I think so too :3
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
2:17 Did you know, they were upgraded to 3P in 1951.
No I didn't know that - very cool!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
18:23 cow: Free ride! Moo! :V
haha yes indeed ;D
Sam, I'm not trying to "teach granny to suck eggs" or anything, but get yourself a copy of the Observers Book Of Railway Locomotives, one of the late 1950's editions. I promise that you won't regret it. :)
Thanks for that! I would love to get one of those! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
@@SamsTrains If you can get a 1955 one, they have all the names and numbers of the locomotives still at work in Britain at that time, where they operated, and where they could be found. I picked one up on Ebay for £2 just recently.
For some reason when you tested the slow speed the wheels look intressting going around
Thanks mate! haha yeah they do look pretty cool on this one! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
Have you heard about the news in South Wales to their arriva trains well if you don't a contract has been signed by a Spanish company in the area so I think we should do an arriva trains sight seeing and a arriva trains running session
Ahh no I hadn't heard about that - I'll have to look it up!
Cheers,
Sam :)
Nice
Thank you! :D
When you look at this loco with slightly cross-eyes it looks like a cartoon train.
haha yeah I know what you mean! ;D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
