I love this Sam! I have this since I first started locos ha and I remember the story of a U boat taking a shot at some onboard a ship trying to stop freight moving around Old trouble I ever had was it never made it round 3rd radius correctly Excellent video Sam M
I love the 8f, it's body type reminds me of a black five, the wheel configuration is way different though. As a side note can you please do a review of the black five if you can? Love your vids and keep up the good work! (:
Thanks Sean, it's funny you should say that - after all the black 5 and the 8F were produced by the same designer! Yeah I've reviewed the Black five already, and I'm yet to review the standard 5! Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Trainspotting time i saw: Your Bachmann Ex lms crab 2-6-0, your Bachmann Lms Patriot 4-6-0, Your wrenn Lms Coronation scot, your Hornby Lms fowler 4p 4-4-0, your Wrenn Royal Scot (I think) and that's all. the odd one out was the lms patriot among all the black based liveries. Great vid Sam Loving the music and quality, keep it up! :)
Quite nice to see an 8F in action, excited for the 2017 release. The loco's are Royal scot, Patriot, Carb, Coronation (rebuilt) and what looks to be a Black 5 in the siding Cheers Avi
The tenders were welded construction for rapid construction for the war effort, Great Northern examples had riveted tenders and also those built at Horwich works...
Good review Sam, there is something very business like about those 8F's. Did you know after WW2 the LNER brought 68 of them and called them class O6, they even had LNER numbers, but on nationalisation the where all placed in the 48xxx series with the LMS locos. The GWR also had some on loan from the MoD ROD (Railway Operations Department) but they were never given GWR numbers. Also you mentioned them going to the Middle East, Turkey also brought a batch of 20 and used them right up til the 1980's. A couple of them have been preserved, and at least one has come home to the UK. The Italian Railways brought 15 from Iran and used them well into the 1950's and of the 12 that were brought by Iraq at the end of the war one (works number 1429) is still to be found abandoned on a siding behind a shed in Baghdad. Any way, nice work mate, and have a great week Jon
Thanks very much Jon, yeah that's the perfect way to describe them! No I didn't know that - that really is very interesting! I didn't know they were quite so well travelled as that too - it's very impressive, and says a lot for British engineering I suppose! Thanks again for the kind comment, you too as always! :D Cheers, Sam :)
I would like to see a pull away reveal showing you providing the incidental music on your Bontempi organ, but aside from that your relaxed manner makes for a pleasant watch.
haha! Yeah that would be very funny, haha! Obviously I didn't play this live, lol ;) Really glad you like the videos anyway, much appreciated! Cheers, Sam :)
haha, no you're not wrong mate - I think they look very similar to the black 5 too, which is fair enough since they were both Stanier designs! Thanks for watching, Sam :)
the engine you showed is a really nice locomotive now the type of that engine in North America is called the consolidation locomotive which is a 2-8-0 locomotive
The plate says LMS Crewe 1942. I have one 48706 which has plate Brighton 1944. The star means that the wheels are balanced, which would allow passenger operation. The Stanier 8 was used for unfitted freight, in particular mineral traffic and semi fast fitted freight. Interestingly the other engine you have is the Fowler 4F which was the LMS's other standard freight engine.
The 8Fs are very successful! Beautiful model! Did you know the fans made a Trainz character based off of an 8F? He's the color black, has the number 15 on his tender, and is named Peter
Not bad, it has some nice proportions, i like that in a loco; and i hope i'll find something nice on the Saturday model exchange for myself. BTW do u have any Atlantic engine (4-4-2)?
Sam'sTrains That's Peter the heavy goods train from WildNorWesters series. wildnorwester.wikia.com/wiki/Peter orig02.deviantart.net/8be4/f/2014/305/7/c/trainz_2014_11_01_23_09_34_099_by_thomasandstanley-d84xxln.png
I recently got a 8F that was older yet it can't go for a few laps before going on strike. unfortunately I don't know the first thing about servicing the loco therefore she's been shunted. Anyway, lovely loco and lovely review.
Okay! I'd check out the ringfield motor servicing video - it's a different loco, but the same motor! Other than that, just make sure the loco wheels are nice and clean! :) th-cam.com/users/edit?o=U&video_id=5-qdz06jzSo All the best, Sam :)
Definitely a bit harsh. If you liked the 8f as much as I do then it'd have been in the top 5! I built a DJH version myself, but the Hornvy version surprised me when it first appeared.
Lovely loco Sam, I have a soft spot for Stanier's machines. : ) When you took her apart, what did you find ? Mine went "sticky" after a long period out of action, some fresh lubing got her moving, but the motor is no longer as quiet as it was. Yours, Cliff.
Hi Cliff, thanks very much for the comment mate - me too! I think sticky is the right word! The factory lubricant was very thick and gloopy - almost as though it'd started to harden over time. I managed to remove it all, and apply some oil in stead, and that fixed it! I don't know what happens if that stuff gets inside the motor though? Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Thanks Sam, if it gets worse I'll need to do the same. Trouble is, I'm still messing with the smaller engines, so these lovely Stanier jobs aren't getting a look in at present. Too much procrastination and not enough running is my problem... : ) Regards, Cliff.
Oh really?? I didn't know that, how did they clean?! But no model should be without it - because there's a hole for it, they just drop off! All the best, Sam :)

Cheers, Calebluvslocos
haha! Blimey that's quite a list - but yeah don't worry, I've reviewed some of those already, and I have some of them that I still need to review! All the best, Sam :)
According to my research (I couldn't find anything on Railuk.info.com, so I went to wikipedia). #48154 was built in September 1942 as LMS #8154, later BR 48154. I dunno when it was withdrawn or where or when it was scrapped.
h yes fixing your loco's i would think the only prob would be dust on the insides, the wheels clogged with carpet or fibers from those layout sets ot items and the lovely smell of stale 30 ish years of ciggy smoke and loft/attic smell lovely
Hi mate, yeah lots of second hand locos do have those issues - but once they arrive with me, that's the end of it - I work hard to make sure the track (and the room as a whole) is free of dust and hair, by regular vacuuming and cleaning - and it seems to work very well! :D All the best, Sam :)
What is the name of that lovely loco at the end of the train at 9:05?? She is a must have for my collection! Shes beautiful!;) What if Bullmam pulled a Pullman train?;)
Hi mate, I think this cost about £70-£80 but I don't remember the exact number! Mine was probably a bit cheaper because it wasn't in perfect condition! Cheers, Sam :)
Ugh... I'm terribly sorry that I'm very late, the subscription box didn't tell me about this video, and I'm very mad that I wasn't able to watch this until a day later. Pfft.
Gah that's a shame - I don't know why that happened! I always upload at 5:30 on a Wednesday and Saturday, plus most Mondays - if that helps?? :D Cheers, Sam :)
Hi mate, have a look on Ebay - the only way to really get them is second hand! I think Hornby are re-releasing it soon though! :3 Thanks for watching, Sam :)
It's classified 1-9 in terms of power, this was ranked an 8, and then up have either P, F or MT, for passenger, freight or mixed traffic! Cheers, Sam :)
sorry...it's me again...but yes sam, i think you have been a bit harsh on the "character" score....because i think that's what makes this loco (still) so attractive, its character and there's plenty of it...and because i haven't got one yet, i will get one pronto !!....;-) It's a real good looking loco...yep....next chance...secondhand or not....
If you haven't done it already, you should do some beginners guides to model trains/railways. There are a few on TH-cam but generally poor quality or just boring. Nice vid btw.
Brilliant channel btw, its been a great help so far. Im only just starting out making my own railway and there is a lot to learn. Also made difficult by the limited time i have to get stuck in.
Yeah it is quite similar looking! In real life, the 8F and black 5 were designed by the same person - Stanier - so they do look similar! :D (Henry was based on the Black 5!) Thanks for watching, Sam :)
For locomotives of this wheel configuration, the 8fs really shine. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Thanks a lot for the comment! Yeah you're right, it's definitely one of the nicest 2-8-0 locos!
All the best,
Sam :)
I was lucky enough to ride behind 8F No. 90733 at the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway during a visit to the UK in 2014. A magnificent engine!
Ooh fantastic! I bet that was marvellous to see - I think I saw one running at the GCR once too! :D
All the best,
Sam :)
Have long loved the 8F ever since my Wrenn one arrived. Lovely machines
Thanks Mike, yeah the Wrenn ones especially were wonderful machines!
All the best,
Sam :)
I love this Sam! I have this since I first started locos ha and I remember the story of a U boat taking a shot at some onboard a ship trying to stop freight moving around
Old trouble I ever had was it never made it round 3rd radius correctly
Excellent video Sam
M
Excellent video, got myself an 8F, no 48151 as preserved. I saw her at Preston 10 years ago when I was little
I love the 8f, it's body type reminds me of a black five, the wheel configuration is way different though. As a side note can you please do a review of the black five if you can? Love your vids and keep up the good work! (:
Thanks Sean, it's funny you should say that - after all the black 5 and the 8F were produced by the same designer! Yeah I've reviewed the Black five already, and I'm yet to review the standard 5!
Thanks for watching,

The 8f are extremely beautiful locomotives
Thanks very much for the comment - Yeah I think that too!
All the best,
Sam :)
I love these locomotives, and great video!
Thanks very much - really glad you liked the video!
All the best,

I love 2-8-0s, beautiful freight engines

Hi Muneem, thanks very much for your comment - well done with the trainspotting!
Really glad you enjoyed it mate,
Cheers,

Lovely loco Sam, especially nice to see some sprung buffers!
Thanks very much mate - yeah it's nice to see quite a nicely detailed 8F!
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
@@SamsTrains Don’t give away this video.
Bullman does belong with milk wagons! Beautiful loco! Cheers, Glenn.
haha yeah he does!! :D
Really glad you liked it mate,
Cheers,

great video mate :) she's definitely a lovely loco!! it's a shame about the ones that are lost at sea but what can you do :( -all the best mate
Another fantastic review great job mate
Thanks very much! Glad you liked it!
Cheers,
Sam :)
Lovely loco Sam, and a nice running session.Cheers John.
Thanks very much John, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
All the best,

Quite nice to see an 8F in action, excited for the 2017 release. The loco's are Royal scot, Patriot, Carb, Coronation (rebuilt) and what looks to be a Black 5 in the siding
Cheers
Avi
Thanks Avi - is there a new 2017 one then??
Very well done with the trainspotting too,
Cheers,
Sam :)
I bought an 8f, brilliant! Very powerful.
The tenders were welded construction for rapid construction for the war effort, Great Northern examples had riveted tenders and also those built at Horwich works...
Duly noted Paul, thanks for the info!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Weird seeing the Crewe badge, perks of being a railway town with the Bombardier works. Great conent as usual Sam :)
haha oh cool - I guess I'd find it weird to see the Bombardier works too though ;D
Thanks a lot mate,
Cheers,
Sam :)
Great video Sam
Thanks very much for the kind comment mate!
Cheers,
Sam :)
Definitely nice and strong and good to see some LMS action
Thanks David, yeah it was nice to be running some LMS locos again!
Cheers,
Sam :)

for me it's sort of a nice surprise as it's my birthday today!
Hi! Happy Birthday to you mate - I hope you have an awesome day! :D
Thanks so much for watching on your Birthday,
Cheers,

thanks mate 😁😁😁😁
Love it going to get it however yet again a amazing review good work sam
Hi Liam, glad you liked it mate - I hope you like it when you get yours! Thanks for the kind words,
Sam :)
I’ve seen an 8F pass by Port Talbot Steelworks on an express tour back in 2011. It was No. 48151, a.k.a., the Gauge O Guild.
Oh wow that must have been awesome to see - awesome! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Sam'sTrains No worries, mate, love listening to your knowledge on locomotives. Have you seen No. 48151 before?
Very nice Sam, I have a Black 5 that looks like your 8f, but with my limited knowledge they all look the same to me...Simon
haha, no you're not wrong mate - I think they look very similar to the black 5 too, which is fair enough since they were both Stanier designs!
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
Aand subbed! Great video Sam! Keep up the good work mate!
Thanks so much, that's very kind of you - I will try! :D
All the best,
Sam :)
the engine you showed is a really nice locomotive now the type of that engine in North America is called the consolidation locomotive which is a 2-8-0 locomotive
Thanks very much - really glad you liked it! Interesting to hear about the American version of it too! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
I've always liked the 8f. it's one penny favorite heavy freight locos. nice review and I wanna see a model in LMS crimson lake.
Thanks very much Edward, yeah they are classic freighters - and a maroon version would be very interesting!
All the best,
Sam :)
Sam'sTrains you can call me shyloh. it's my real name after all.
3:47 your right there has been videos of one those somewhere in the sea: a ship wreck
Yeah I thought so! It's a pretty unbelievable story!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
The plate says LMS Crewe 1942. I have one 48706 which has plate Brighton 1944. The star means that the wheels are balanced, which would allow passenger operation. The Stanier 8 was used for unfitted freight, in particular mineral traffic and semi fast fitted freight. Interestingly the other engine you have is the Fowler 4F which was the LMS's other standard freight engine.
Thanks for that Don - and I didn't know that about the star, appreciate that!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Very nice review this makes me want to buy one my self :D
haha! Thanks Nick - I'm sure you could pick one up for a decent price if you shopped around! :D
All the best,
Sam :)
I like this model! I'd like to see it done in the LNER, WD gray, Italian, and Egyptian versions!
Thanks mate! Oh wow - an LNER green version would be amazing - though probably not very realistic ;)
All the best,
Sam :)
The SVR have on on their railway but it is currently waiting in the engine shed for an overhaul but i would love to see it running again
Ooh very nice! I'd be lovely to see that one run! I saw one at the Great Central running last year - it was very impressive!
Cheers,
Sam :)
I love your 8f and I danced to that music
haha thanks Jack - glad you had fun, lol! ;D
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
I saw an 8F on display during my eighth grade class trip to Israel.
Oh very nice! I knew a lot went out there during the war - glad some are still left!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
The 8Fs are very successful! Beautiful model! Did you know the fans made a Trainz character based off of an 8F? He's the color black, has the number 15 on his tender, and is named Peter
No I didn't know that - I'll have to look him up - thanks for the info! :D

Not bad, it has some nice proportions, i like that in a loco; and i hope i'll find something nice on the Saturday model exchange for myself.
BTW do u have any Atlantic engine (4-4-2)?
You have all the fun
haha I guess so - I do love doing this!! :D
Thanks for watching,

I used to have an 8F which was based on No. 48151, but I sold it last year.
Oh right! That's quite cool! :D
Thanks for watching,

8fs are Lovely Locos
Yeah they are! I l think they're great!

9:04 Cow on the milk train! very good. ;)
haha! Thanks! :D
Hi there Sam, another nice Loco. Super detailed models are ok but there still not super dooper I suppose:)
Hi Harry, thanks very much mate! Yeah they're okay really - not bad for their age now! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
I recently got a 8F that was older yet it can't go for a few laps before going on strike. unfortunately I don't know the first thing about servicing the loco therefore she's been shunted. Anyway, lovely loco and lovely review.
Hi Alex, I can try to help you service her if you like?? Is it a Hornby one like this?? They are quite easy luckily! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
Hi Sam, Yes it is Hornby but it is much older with the number R322. Any help is appreciated, thanks.
Alright! Is it a tender driven one, or loco drive?? I think the first ones were tender driven!
Yeah, tender driven
Okay! I'd check out the ringfield motor servicing video - it's a different loco, but the same motor!
Other than that, just make sure the loco wheels are nice and clean! :)

Definitely a bit harsh. If you liked the 8f as much as I do then it'd have been in the top 5! I built a DJH version myself, but the Hornvy version surprised me when it first appeared.
haha no worries Craig - I should revisit this one, and see how it shapes up in 2019! :D

Hornby have a brand new 8f in stock on their website Sam's Trains.
They do! It's the same as this one though - not been retooled!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Do you reckon you'll do a review of the princess coronation class once the new one comes out?
It's possible - it all depends whether someone sells one at a sensible price!
All the best,
Sam :)
Yeah Hornby to have a tendency to aim for the heavens when it comes to pricing
Lovely loco Sam, I have a soft spot for Stanier's machines. : )
When you took her apart, what did you find ? Mine went "sticky" after a long period out of action, some fresh lubing got her moving, but the motor is no longer as quiet as it was.
Yours, Cliff.
Hi Cliff, thanks very much for the comment mate - me too!
I think sticky is the right word! The factory lubricant was very thick and gloopy - almost as though it'd started to harden over time. I managed to remove it all, and apply some oil in stead, and that fixed it! I don't know what happens if that stuff gets inside the motor though?
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
Thanks Sam, if it gets worse I'll need to do the same. Trouble is, I'm still messing with the smaller engines, so these lovely Stanier jobs aren't getting a look in at present. Too much procrastination and not enough running is my problem... : )
Regards, Cliff.
Sorry, Sam. Just to be honest, the dart of the smoke box is the handle of the smoke box door and the 8F, alone, looks just like the Black 5.
haha you're right - it does look like the black 5! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
The missing smoke box dart is sometimes missing because in real life, some did not have it.
Oh really?? I didn't know that, how did they clean?! But no model should be without it - because there's a hole for it, they just drop off!
All the best,
Sam :)
i wonder what it is about 2-8-0 locomotives that make them so popular??
haha I don't know - but they sure are!! :O
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Sam’s Trains How much does the Hornby LMS Stanier Class 8F cost?
Hi Mark - brand new they're very expensive, way over £100, but second hand, you can pick them up quite a bit cheaper! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Very nice loco
Thanks a lot mate! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
it’s immensely similar to a black 5 except that the wheel configuration is slightly different
Absolutely! You can tell they both share a very similar design! :D

I don't think I knew that!!

Hi mate, yeah lots of second hand locos do have those issues - but once they arrive with me, that's the end of it - I work hard to make sure the track (and the room as a whole) is free of dust and hair, by regular vacuuming and cleaning - and it seems to work very well! :D

How much did this cost you? for us ofcourse has to be almost 100 and even 200 dollars or for you, you call them pounds or lbs idk
Hi mate, I think this cost about £70-£80 but I don't remember the exact number! Mine was probably a bit cheaper because it wasn't in perfect condition!

Hi mate, have a look on Ebay - the only way to really get them is second hand! I think Hornby are re-releasing it soon though! :3
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
Stanier locomotives are GWR style on steroids.
haha I guess that's true! xD
Suzanne Riley is based on the 8f
perfect conditchen that 8f
Thanks very much - it's quite close to perfect, yeah!! :D
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
yes she is!
what does 8f stand for?
It's classified 1-9 in terms of power, this was ranked an 8, and then up have either P, F or MT, for passenger, freight or mixed traffic!
Cheers,
Sam :)
To me the 8f looks like a lens black 5 cause the shape is pretty close
Yeah you're right - the two do look very similar!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Well that's a good engine I don't have to enough room to really put trains like that
Thanks very much! Oh right - what kind of railway do you model then?? :)
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
sorry...it's me again...but yes sam, i think you have been a bit harsh on the "character" score....because i think that's what makes this loco (still) so attractive, its character
and there's plenty of it...and because i haven't got one yet, i will get one pronto !!....;-)
It's a real good looking loco...yep....next chance...secondhand or not....
Thanks for sharing - yeah maybe you're right - the Character category was a tricky one, I abolished it long ago!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
@@SamsTrainsjust checked....nothing on the market at the mo....will keep looking....;-)
12:52 Rebuilt Royal Scot?
Yeah it's a Royal Scot!
If you haven't done it already, you should do some beginners guides to model trains/railways. There are a few on TH-cam but generally poor quality or just boring. Nice vid btw.
Hi mate! Yes I have done one of those, if you're interested?? It shows everything you need to get started anyway!
Cheers,
Sam :)
Sam'sTrains can you put a link to the video in the comments please? Sorry , im probably just being lazy by not searching through them myself.
Brilliant channel btw, its been a great help so far. Im only just starting out making my own railway and there is a lot to learn. Also made difficult by the limited time i have to get stuck in.
Thanks a lot! Yeah no worries, here it is:

Sam'sTrains thanks alot mate.
The Queen train is gorgeous!! 😍😍😍
Oh yeah I know! Hornby did a great job with them!
All the best,
Sam :)
Looks like the hornby henry model
Yeah it is quite similar looking! In real life, the 8F and black 5 were designed by the same person - Stanier - so they do look similar! :D (Henry was based on the Black 5!)
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)

Thanks a lot for that Rob, the camera picked that up quite well actually! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
1:46 I'll let you off the fact that they were first made in 1935 on the basis that they were made, used, and exported in the Second World War. ;)
haha yeah fair enough - but they played a huge part in WW2 around the world, regardless of when they were introduced ;)
Cheers,
Sam :)
3:29 And Italy Too
Yeah! It's amazing how many places these were sent to! :D
All the best,
