Great job in explaining the difference between the different manufactures. It helps greatly in determining what are the features between models that maybe important when determining which model may be best for your layout. Great review.
Sam, I bought a Dapol/Rails version and it had all the problems you highlighted in your review. Replaced with the Hornby version ('Chapeau' to Rails - no quibble return from their side). The little Hornby version is simpler but still works well and v. cute. From a couple of feet away the detail points are quite OK. No contest: the Rails version was a crime against humanity. This is a (very well priced) option.
Stroudley's biographer apparently disputes the engineer's colourblindness. I heard something along the lines of that the reason the livery is called "Improved engine green" is because Stroudley phrased it as an "Improvement on green" because the LBSCR painted their locos green before Stroudley came along. Interestingly, no notes in the board meetings on both the Highland Railway, which he was CME of, or the LBSCR can confirm this. Curious indeed!
The cab with the holes on the lighter colour Hornby Terriers is the main reason I didn't choose their Terrier in this colour first time round. On the darker colour ones the holes aren't as noticeable as I have Hornby one in the K&ESR blue livery. I may get another one but in Southern livery
Hey Sam brought one if these few days ago for my birthday it's Stepney from blue bell railway runs like a dream didn't know the lady friend had brought it got told it was another one great video 😀😀😀
I have a theorie on why hornby’s models are most plastic Its to keep down cost and make it easy to make the models because if they are made from metal the price will go up (look at the new a3’s compared to the a3’s from 10 years ago)
You know, that reminds me of the time I did a hypothermia train display for Foundation Degree graphics about the evolution of steam trains and Stepney was one of them. Glad that a healthy 20% of these guys are still around.
Agreed with you : I have one in Southern Green, it's a nice and efficient branchline engine. Less details ? I don't care because it means less GBP, that's a good deal for me. Especially when the finish is OK, and the mechanism on the born-to-run side. I also agree on the 3 poles motors, a 5 poles would have been better, and a flywheel would have been a good idea. If you want a Terrier, it is THE model to buy for me, period. Hornby have everything right here on the basics, you've got really what you paid for.
Took your time doing this review, considering you mentioned you'd bought it late last year. £69.99? Nice. I have the BRITISH RAILWAYS malachite green A1X with IoW extended bunker, W13 Carisbrooke (formerly 77 Wonersh, then 677, B677, W3 Carisbrooke, W13, then 32677), bought it 2nd hand DCC fitted for £50 posted, absolute bargain, is a lovely loco but has a large glue mark on the front buffer beam. It happily ran with 3 super detailed maunsell coaches for ages, so much more powerful than my older hornby A1 class 650 Whitechapel in Improved Engine Green. I set the DCC address to 3013 because it is number 13 on the side and its a southern region loco. I'd get confused if i numbered it 0077, 0677, or 2677 because that'd not match what it shows on the side, but I couldn't have it as 0013 because my Wabtec sentinel is number H013 and was DCC fitted first so claimed the 0013 number first. It's sad that 10 terriers were preserved, yet for NER locos only 13 (1 j21, 1 j27, 1 j72, 1 q6, 1 q7, the x1 Aerolite, the long boiler 1001, the 2-4-0 901, 1 d17/1, 2 y7s, 1 e5) from the entire company were preserved. I'd love a model of the x1 tbh. Atm I have 9 j72s (although two are identical, and 2 are the LNER and BR versions of the same loco) plus a q6, and I'm looking forward to the oxford j26/j27s as well as the bachmann/tmc g5s. Have to say, this loco in the review is my favourite shade of green, ever. :p Slowly getting there with youtube catchup.
Sam I have the Hornby Bembridge IOW A1X and the metalwork on it looks very brass, dont think its plastic. of course it uses all the holes for pipes on the cab. I really love it - does everything a terrier should except bark.
What a sweet looking loco. Looking at it made me wonder about something totally unrelated. As per your test of 0-4-0 vs sharp curves, and given the rise in interest in tiny or compact layouts, what about a test to see which modern locos will reliably negotiate 1st radius curves? No point in using vintage locos as I assume they all will because 1st radius was normal back then. Cheers 😊👍
Your review is spot on Sam. A lovely smooth little tank engine... at a decent price tag and better than the first batch. Hope Hornby improves the new large Prairie at the next production run too. There seems to be a positive change.....Thanks for sharing & greetings, Filip
Hey Sam, congrats on 100k subs, time for that silver play button to come in, can you do a running session with the Terrier doing a push pull passenger service, like the ones the Panniers did back in the steam era?
From a Child it was Triang then Triang/Hornby and Now Hornby. Because you can be Pretty Sure, they will give Good Service. Doesn't matter how good it Looks, if it plays up, its just Junk. And I have bought Lima & Bachmann ( At Garage Sales for a Few $$ AUD.) but they all need Tinkering with Regularly. Infact almost every time u want to use them, Service Required first. Triang/Hornby, Hornby run no matter what...! Even My 'Turbo Battle Space' Runs after 50 yrs of Childish Abuse..! (Not a lot to it mind.!) Cheers kim in Oz. 😎
This model not having lining on the buffers is actually prototypical. You can see the rest of the lining - but nothing on the buffers of the real thing. I'll try email you it
Excellent review of the Hornby LBSCR Terrier Sam 👍👍 I have to say that the Hornby one is better with the quality plus value, but comparing to the Dapol version it has a little bit of of got detailed like the cab, chimney & boiler, but not so great with the Dapol version keep on derailing as well the non straight running plate.
Sam, I did a bad job of doing lubrication on a Bachmann model which is the North Eastern E1 aka J72. It now in bits and the side rods are now not straight and I’m really in a zero right now 🤦
hi there. good review sam,. sadly I don't have one now as I had to send 2 back as the motor was very jerky and didn't run in sync. kept juddering. so i may of herd a dodgy batch. many another time. but your review gives me hope.. cheers Matt
Great to see your thourough reviews on these different terrier locomotives. Just wondering, I know these are newer tooling than my Thomas the Tank engine Stepney, do these newer ones have improved reliability in regards to the Motors? Mine has just done in its second motor and I am wondering if the older bodies are compatible with the newer chassis? cheers.
No competition im actually so glad that hornby took the risk and made these when I saw rails was doing the terrier I was annoyed because I wanted an affordable one 110 is too much for a tiny tank engine. So hornby already had my vote when it was announced and it most definitely still does i can fit a light into my terrier and it'll still have cost less than 100 and the detail may be higher on the rails one but at least the hornby ones aren't wonky so the features that make the rails one 'pedigree' still don'tjustifythe cost. I guess its like a real pedigree dog looks nice on the outside but seriously unhealthy on the inside. Great video though
Hi sam These are great in my opinion yes they few holes for tooling yes But it better than ros in my opinion from what I've seen. These are great the easy to maintain even for people like me with limited skills Hope hornby do Peckham one. Yes sound the guy was recording it on the James may trouble in model Britain or something like that. Sorry am early Keep safe arp
What size 'coaches' do you use when you measure their ability to haul # of coaches? Full size passenger ones for express trains or what I call 'branchline' coaches? (the ones with either 2 or 3 sets of wheels, not bogie mounted)
I only just started watching your video, and right away, I noticed you got a Terrier that has the same name and number as mine. What are the odds?! ;) Lovely model though, love Hornby's Terrier.
Thanks Sam another great review, so, I asked myself the obvious question, why isn't improved engine green not green? There's a few theories about but here's just one I liked, "....there is a theory for Improved Engine Green which is that because, on Stroudley's arrival at LBSCR, passenger locomotives were a dark Brunswick green, and before that had been a dark bottle green, the name Improved Engine Green was intentionally sardonic: Stroudley was just fed up with endless shades of green" end quote,. ...Drew
Hornby made massive improvements on these last year when they brought out the Collector Club edition of Brighton Works. It corrected a lot of the issues people had with the Terriers, and hopefully will be the standard of Hornby's upcoming releases later in the year. Even so, I'd still take these over the Dapol/Rails ones any day of the week, as I'd rather have one that works for £80 instead of paying £130 for something that badly put together. I do need to ask though, how do you rate the performance? Because while this got 4 stars, I remembered you gave the Dapol/Rails one 3.5 despite it repeatedly de-railing.
If I’m been honest I normally wait for your review but this time I’ve got it before you I’ve also pre ordered the 828 class and the Ruston 88 in row tree colours
Hey Sam got any good sites in the uk besides hattons that are good for second hand buying? I’ve been trying to get my hands on Hornbys newer Stepney for awhile since they retired it
Wow what a model it looks beautiful pls can u try to get Stepney and if you do can you run it with a class 40 and a 57xx if you do that you will be referencing a Thomas episode called bowled out
Sam: this cost me 69 pounds. Me: ₙᵢcₑ Also fun fact, and not sure if this is entirely true, but Bachmann has an extra N at the end of it's name because there is a pretzel company named Bachman, and I have a bag of their pretzels IRL. Can confirm they taste very good.
That story sounds a bit dubious as there is a Bachmann Floral here in the US (not sure if they are still in business, though.) "Bachmann" is just a normal German surname.
If you made a museam quality reproduction, exactly to scale, of any loco you couldn't run it. In any case 00 guage locos are out of scale with regard to the rail guage, they are oversize as is the rail profile but leaving that aside the wheel flanges themselves if made to scale would cause derailments with a glance It is compromise then, if you want to run a loco on a layout what matters then is that it runs well and that it isn't too fragile. As we know many highly detailed models drop detail parts off with a puff of wind, indeed Sam how many times have you opened a new model only to find it has lost detail parts before you even got it out of the box? This Terrier, I have Brighton, is very robust and runs exceptionally well and I would say almost state of the art for a model locomotive that is intended to be used rather than displayed in a case and any compromises of fine detail and accuracy made to acheive this are not of consequence
You should look for the one that's named Stepney, I sent you an email, check it out when you get a chance, also I've been putting down roads on my layout
It is the same class and the same livery but this one says leadernhall and is an A1 which means it has those condensing pipes from the boiler to the smokebox
I clicked as fast as possible, come to realize the notification is late, again. Anyway, 9F just a few days ago and Terrier now? Sam, you’re spoiling us!
I purchased the Hornby Terrier Locomotive pack, one of the best purchases I have ever made because of the price! The Hornby Terriers are easily my personal favorite over the Dapol Terrier.
Hey Sam,I have a question,I have watched your Hornby vs Bachmann video and is still dont know wich brand I should start my own model railway with,I'm definitely getting some bachmann Thomas the Tank Engine locomotives,but I just don't know what to get after that,because I do want some real engines,so,what should I start with,Hornby or Bahcmann? Please let me know.
props to you for resisting the urge to say “nice” every time you mentioned the price
haha I'm doing my best! ;D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Pro trick: you can watch movies on flixzone. Been using them for watching lots of of movies these days.
@Lennox Zayn yup, I have been using flixzone for since december myself :)
hi sam . she seems to run much better than the other one. the detail not so important as performance . the hornby is the one i would buy. cheers tom.
Great job in explaining the difference between the different manufactures. It helps greatly in determining what are the features between models that maybe important when determining which model may be best for your layout. Great review.
I really enjoy the comparison you did in this video with the dapol/rails model
Would like to see more of this in the future
Thanks so much - yeah I enjoy doing things like that too! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Fit a 5 pole motor and a fly-wheel in there and I think it’s almost perfect for the price! Great video Sam!
You're right - I would have preferred that!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Damn, you were so close to having a complete LBSCR improved engine green running session! Just missing Whitechapel!
Sam actually does have Whitechapel but that broke down and has been shown on “how to burn down a model railway”
haha that's true - it's not broken down now, it runs again with a new motor!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Lovely locos, don’t even need to see the review to know what everyone else says about them! 😄
I agree, haha that's true!!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)

Finally got myself a Terrier. Loving my Hornby one. Mine is preserved member "Brighton" in the same beautiful (and not green 😛🤫😉) livery.

An wonderful model I adore!! Look at that uploaded 3 hours ago with 0 dislikes, impressive
Great to hear that - haha thank you! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Just bought the same one from Rails for 69.50 but not got it yet. Good to see a review at the same time I got the same engine 😊
The cab with the holes on the lighter colour Hornby Terriers is the main reason I didn't choose their Terrier in this colour first time round. On the darker colour ones the holes aren't as noticeable as I have Hornby one in the K&ESR blue livery. I may get another one but in Southern livery
I got the Centenary Terrier last year and it performs similar your Terrier. Overall, very cool engine, and nice review.
Amazing - does the Centenary one have a different finish too??
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Hey Sam brought one if these few days ago for my birthday it's Stepney from blue bell railway runs like a dream didn't know the lady friend had brought it got told it was another one great video 😀😀😀

Had to interupt my trumpet playing to watch this - worth it though!
haha trumpet playing - that sounds awesome! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Me too actually hahahaa!

Slowly getting there with youtube catchup.
Hey. Its me on the screen. YAY. It is such an improvement over the dapol. Both might I add.
Ooh yeah it is!! Absolutely - much better!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Just bought one from Amazon, cant wait for it to arrive! looks like a great model, my first non-ttte tank engine.
Amazing! Hope you have fun with it - they're lovely things! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
After seeing your review ,I will buy this locomotive ,for pre grouping coaches ( Hornby 2021 Range - 4 wheel /6 wheel coaches)
I have the LSWR terrier dcc fitted and it runs like a dream
mate you do the best train unboxing vids.
Awhh thanks so much!! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Sam I have the Hornby Bembridge IOW A1X and the metalwork on it looks very brass, dont think its plastic. of course it uses all the holes for pipes on the cab. I really love it - does everything a terrier should except bark.
Such a beautiful loco. I’m planning on buying either an A1 or an A1X so I can make Stepney. Which one do you reckon I should try to get?
In the black and white close ups you can easily tell the hornby model has a painted brass funnel cap
What a sweet looking loco. Looking at it made me wonder about something totally unrelated. As per your test of 0-4-0 vs sharp curves, and given the rise in interest in tiny or compact layouts, what about a test to see which modern locos will reliably negotiate 1st radius curves? No point in using vintage locos as I assume they all will because 1st radius was normal back then. Cheers 😊👍
The Centennial "Merton" was one of my first locos. I love the finish on it, definitely one of my favorites.
Ahh fantastic - yeah they look grand don't they? :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Your review is spot on Sam. A lovely smooth little tank engine... at a decent price tag and better than the first batch. Hope Hornby improves the new large Prairie at the next production run too. There seems to be a positive change.....Thanks for sharing & greetings, Filip
I do like the look of the A1 than the A1X I think it might be something to do with the smoke box
Yeah me too - I think you're right, interesting shape!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
People might disagree but in my opinion the terrier is the best tank engine lol, have a good day
Its my fave to
I mean,at least they survived unlike they're successors
haha yeah - quite a few people have said that already!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Do you own Silver Link?
If not, you really should look into getting one. Silver Link is a very nice A4 next to Mallard.
Either way, great video!
Love your vids Sam I think I might be getting a mercent Navy
Thanks so much - that's awesome to hear, hope you like it! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Hey Sam, congrats on 100k subs, time for that silver play button to come in, can you do a running session with the Terrier doing a push pull passenger service, like the ones the Panniers did back in the steam era?
Thanks so much - and that'd be epic, I need to do a proper push-pull video some time!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
From a Child it was Triang then Triang/Hornby and Now Hornby. Because you can be Pretty Sure, they will give Good Service. Doesn't matter how good it Looks, if it plays up, its just Junk.
And I have bought Lima & Bachmann ( At Garage Sales for a Few $$ AUD.) but they all need Tinkering with Regularly.
Infact almost every time u want to use them, Service Required first.
Triang/Hornby, Hornby run no matter what...!
Even My 'Turbo Battle Space' Runs after 50 yrs of Childish Abuse..! (Not a lot to it mind.!)
Cheers kim in Oz. 😎
This model not having lining on the buffers is actually prototypical. You can see the rest of the lining - but nothing on the buffers of the real thing. I'll try email you it
Ooh really? Do other examples from Hornby have lined buffers then?
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Do you know if I could pick one up in the states
I'm sure some retailers would ship one to you! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Thank you
Excellent review of the Hornby LBSCR Terrier Sam 👍👍 I have to say that the Hornby one is better with the quality plus value, but comparing to the Dapol version it has a little bit of of got detailed like the cab, chimney & boiler, but not so great with the Dapol version keep on derailing as well the non straight running plate.
Sam, I did a bad job of doing lubrication on a Bachmann model which is the North Eastern E1 aka J72. It now in bits and the side rods are now not straight and I’m really in a zero right now 🤦
hi there.
good review sam,. sadly I don't have one now as I had to send 2 back as the motor was very jerky and didn't run in sync. kept juddering. so i may of herd a dodgy batch. many another time. but your review gives me hope.. cheers Matt
Great to see your thourough reviews on these different terrier locomotives. Just wondering, I know these are newer tooling than my Thomas the Tank engine Stepney, do these newer ones have improved reliability in regards to the Motors? Mine has just done in its second motor and I am wondering if the older bodies are compatible with the newer chassis? cheers.
I’m getting that terrier then painting the door to not the cab the smoke box and then get the number 55 and paint it named Stepney then done
No competition im actually so glad that hornby took the risk and made these when I saw rails was doing the terrier I was annoyed because I wanted an affordable one 110 is too much for a tiny tank engine. So hornby already had my vote when it was announced and it most definitely still does i can fit a light into my terrier and it'll still have cost less than 100 and the detail may be higher on the rails one but at least the hornby ones aren't wonky so the features that make the rails one 'pedigree' still don'tjustifythe cost. I guess its like a real pedigree dog looks nice on the outside but seriously unhealthy on the inside. Great video though
Hi sam
These are great in my opinion yes they few holes for tooling yes
But it better than ros in my opinion from what I've seen.
These are great the easy to maintain even for people like me with limited skills
Hope hornby do Peckham one.
Yes sound the guy was recording it on the James may trouble in model Britain or something like that.
Sorry am early
Keep safe arp
Absolutely right Adi - the intuitive design counts for a lot here!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
What size 'coaches' do you use when you measure their ability to haul # of coaches?
Full size passenger ones for express trains or what I call 'branchline' coaches? (the ones with either 2 or 3 sets of wheels, not bogie mounted)
At least Hornby has FINALLY progressed from direct drive to a gear box that allows for more realistic power pick up and speeds across the spectrum...
Lovely model and affordable to us cretins too!! I enjoyed that one for sure Sam.
haha absolutely Ian - that's good to hear! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
I only just started watching your video, and right away, I noticed you got a Terrier that has the same name and number as mine. What are the odds?! ;) Lovely model though, love Hornby's Terrier.
Ooh awesome - great minds think alike!! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
1:27 nice
The terriers always looked best in improved engine green
Thanks Sam another great review, so, I asked myself the obvious question, why isn't improved engine green not green? There's a few theories about but here's just one I liked, "....there is a theory for Improved Engine Green which is that because, on Stroudley's arrival at LBSCR, passenger locomotives were a dark Brunswick green, and before that had been a dark bottle green, the name Improved Engine Green was intentionally sardonic: Stroudley was just fed up with endless shades of green" end quote,. ...Drew
Sam the Verifed youtuber man. Also sam could you try trainz simulator?
I have the new tool stepney, similar to yours and i LOVE her
Hornby made massive improvements on these last year when they brought out the Collector Club edition of Brighton Works.
It corrected a lot of the issues people had with the Terriers, and hopefully will be the standard of Hornby's upcoming releases later in the year.
Even so, I'd still take these over the Dapol/Rails ones any day of the week, as I'd rather have one that works for £80 instead of paying £130 for something that badly put together.

If I’m been honest I normally wait for your review but this time I’ve got it before you I’ve also pre ordered the 828 class and the Ruston 88 in row tree colours
Hornby's terrier is leaps and bounds better than the dapol terrier i own a hornby S.E.C.R livery terrier and i love it. Great reveiw thanks
Sam will it be better to buy an terror and tack packs and Trucks or by an train set like Flying Scottsmen or GWR one
Like Stroudley, I am also colorblind. When I see an engine with the improved engine green livery, it is green to me.
What colour is the lining around the yellow/orange (or green to you)?
Put the Dapol body on the Hornby chassis.
Do you have a Stepney, the realistic one or the one with a face?
Love how you had to give the Dapol Terrier one last poke at the end; it’s unrelenting with its uninspired mechanism
What's your favorite style of terrier, at original a1 or the rebuilt a1x?
Hey Sam got any good sites in the uk besides hattons that are good for second hand buying? I’ve been trying to get my hands on Hornbys newer Stepney for awhile since they retired it
Wow what a model it looks beautiful pls can u try to get Stepney and if you do can you run it with a class 40 and a 57xx if you do that you will be referencing a Thomas episode called bowled out
Sam: this cost me 69 pounds.
Me: ₙᵢcₑ
Also fun fact, and not sure if this is entirely true, but Bachmann has an extra N at the end of it's name because there is a pretzel company named Bachman, and I have a bag of their pretzels IRL. Can confirm they taste very good.
That story sounds a bit dubious as there is a Bachmann Floral here in the US (not sure if they are still in business, though.) "Bachmann" is just a normal German surname.
@@ManOfUnknownWorthSorry for the lack of proof and knowledge.
TH-cam unsubscribed me from you i have no clue why but i am subbed again now
Beautiful locomotive 😍 The minimal radius is rather large for such a short wheel base, isn’t it?
It fits on radius 0, BUT it runs best on radius 1+
We still don't have a pedigree Terrier in OO gauge. Maybe that will change one day.
I am with you. The pre[grouping livery is much better.
Lovely loco, would love to build a model railway but student life is nackers
Love your vide Smokey joe
Thanks so much Jack! :D
How about doing a terrier in a Southern livery
I'd love that... another Terrier does sound good!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
If you made a museam quality reproduction, exactly to scale, of any loco you couldn't run it. In any case 00 guage locos are out of scale with regard to the rail guage, they are oversize as is the rail profile but leaving that aside the wheel flanges themselves if made to scale would cause derailments with a glance
It is compromise then, if you want to run a loco on a layout what matters then is that it runs well and that it isn't too fragile. As we know many highly detailed models drop detail parts off with a puff of wind, indeed Sam how many times have you opened a new model only to find it has lost detail parts before you even got it out of the box?
This Terrier, I have Brighton, is very robust and runs exceptionally well and I would say almost state of the art for a model locomotive that is intended to be used rather than displayed in a case and any compromises of fine detail and accuracy made to acheive this are not of consequence
I also want to believe that stroudly call the livery green as a joke
Awesome tank engine sam
Your trains are AWESOME, Sam :-)
Thank you so much!! :D
2019 is the last good year in my life sigh.
You should look for the one that's named Stepney, I sent you an email, check it out when you get a chance, also I've been putting down roads on my layout
You seem to be like in the terriers these days I can't blame you I mean they are pretty nice but yeah I guess you do like them a lot
It looks like Stepney the blue Bell engine
Sam I'm going to bye one once I get my allowance ;)
Ooh good choice - hope you like it! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Steppey the redbell diesel
:00000000 Stepney the bluebell engine XD
That’s such a beauty
I think so too Sam! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Hello I guess. I should really be sleeping now. :(
haha good night then!! ;D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
I stayed up past my bedtime for a Terrier.
That sinking feeling when you realize that you now have to wait another three days for a new Sam’s Trains video .....
haha bless you Ian - more on the way soon! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
That engine looks like Stepney the bluebell engine from Thomas and friends
It would be as they are the same class
Yeah it totally does actually!! :O
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Oh! Lovely Sam! :D
It is the same class and the same livery but this one says leadernhall and is an A1 which means it has those condensing pipes from the boiler to the smokebox
Hornby actually produced Stepney (just slapped a face onto the smoke box I think) but he’s one of the engines who got a limited edition run.
Picked this up a few months ago from TTCDiecast for £63 and it runs beautifully.
Amazing - what a price too!!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)

I purchased the Hornby Terrier Locomotive pack, one of the best purchases I have ever made because of the price! The Hornby Terriers are easily my personal favorite over the Dapol Terrier.
Hey Sam,I have a question,I have watched your Hornby vs Bachmann video and is still dont know wich brand I should start my own model railway with,I'm definitely getting some bachmann Thomas the Tank Engine locomotives,but I just don't know what to get after that,because I do want some real engines,so,what should I start with,Hornby or Bahcmann? Please let me know.
I love these ,especially in the lbsc livery
Me too Harry - it's my favourite!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Sam I have a biology test tomorrow.
Ooh good luck in it!!

I got my Dapol N gauge terrier a few weeks ago in the LBSCR brown luckily it’s better than the 00 gauge Rails terrier-Ben
I have a Hornby Terrier that is really strong
