Join Sam on Sunday April 12th with a brand new Locomotive Challenge featuring the Hornby Ruston Shunter. How many wagons do you think the Ruston can manage?
The best things come in small packages and what a little gem this is. I reckoned at 24 to 30, but not 42. It pulled the last wagons with easy when it took up the coupling slack then the wee loco started to feel the strain on its train. With one less at 41 wagons (the last should have been a brake van - LOL), it would have crossed the stop line okay. Defected in the end by just its own loco length, but I'd call it a pass too. A good little test to do Sam, and it would be interesting to see what some of the other locos can achieve (a new top 10 list needs to be made in the Sam Trains Log Book.
Hi Sam Thanks for bringing this "Fantastic" hobby to the masses & sharing ur knowledge with the likes of me. Its made me want to rekindle my luv of Hornby trains. To that end i went on Gumm tree (Aust) & found a Hornby Flying Scotsman boxed set bought, claimed, back in the 80's & never run Im over the moon
I love those little Rustons and the Pug is well up on my faves list. I’ve promised myself, when I have a bit more space I’m going to do a little dockside layout featuring both. As a lad I had the joys of having a 3’ gauge Ruston to ride around on ver 22mile or so of track on Thorne peat moors. Happy days. Who needed a Hornby train set!
I'm glad Sam and Hornby have collaborated once more! A Hornby Ruston pulling so many wagons on a normal layout is something I want to see at the next train show!
This was a lot of fun, thanks Hornby for making this possible, and also for sending Sam the Hornby Northen Belle Train Set, which he normally wouldn't be able to review.
Great review Sam - very slick and professional. Glad Hornby have got you involved. That Ruston is an amazing little machine too. Credit to Hornby for producing these little gems. Laurie.
This is a good example of static versus dynamic loads, the engine does not full all 42 wagons at once, rather is pulls the first one, then once the coupling is taught it pulls the second and so on imparting kinetic energy to the train of wagons.
Honrby, i know you will probably be checking your comments, and if you see this, please make a Ruston 48 that looks like Lawrie mechanical marvels Ruston 48 please. We know that Lawrie has already contacted you about it and it would be cool if you did.
That is a shiney new intro! That little engine though, so cute! Yet that gearing for it to pull over 40 wagons. That is impressive. Even with some track grade, I would think this loco if you really wanted too pull it away from yard shunting duties, could go incline at 2% with 30 cars and maybe not manage wheel slip just from seeing how well its been performing in this video.
Hey sam incredible test and i've tried 50 wagons on my flat layout made a full lap but it did slip a bit on the corners and as i found out at my local model club 5-7 is the limit for inclines
Great to watch this video again. I know we all have problems with space (and straight lining) when we try these things, so why not get some flat wagons (Hatton's Warwells?) and load them up with weights and solve the problem? Just an idea for the future. Have a good new year and I'm looking forward to this years content. :-)
Ruston is small but very willing, And so she hauls a load smiling. This is the challenge of Sam's Train, And it's insane. Put her on the railway, show her the sign, Take it to the limit one more time. Decided to put fun lyrics in my favourite Eagles Song Take it to the Limit.
That's amazing sam. I can not believe that the smallest of locomotive can pull so much. That's absolutely amazing. I enjoyed the video. I believed the the locomotive could pull around 10 time it's own weight. Take care
42 model wagons, that is far beyond the capabilities of the prototype ! Those little engines were used to pull one or two real wagons at a time, maybe three or four at least, but not an entire train ! Hats off Hornby, that's what we can call a good product.
Woah! That is simply incredible! I have Co-Co locos with flywheels, huge weights and can motors which can't do that. Going to get a pair as the main shunters for my layout!
Hornby, if you pay lots of attention to Sam’s train’s reviews then I genuinely think that you would improve a lot more as a brand because you have lots of good models that Sam has reviewed and you can improve on them greatly, he also talks about your prices and he also shows the very cheap and nasty locos that you guys produce and says just how they need to be improved seriously guys you could do so much better
Wow 15 times it's own weight. Very impressive, after the disappointing large loco classes 58, 90 & 92s by Hornby. Sam cld you place it beside the Triang Dock Shunter? Made they are approx the same size. Cld you plz confirm this by any means. (As I can reckon u hv them both) 🤪 Thanks in advance.
Suggestion hornby, please revamp your class 142 pacer with the good hornby mechanism, DCC ready and no traction tyres please!!! At a decent price too :D
that`s brilliant...a real tiny little loco,pulling that amount..would be interesting to see it pull continually around a large flat loop with large radius curves..but of course a lot of space needed...wonder what the max would be for it to continually haul,without risking damage to the motor ...cheers..ade
So, two units could haul many wagons on your floor layout. Perhaps 30 wagons with no problem? You could Neuton test 30 wagons on some curves and then have the two Rustons pull them. Awesome little loco', Sam. John Canada
So, an Ant can carry 10-20 times its own weight. The Ruston can carry 15. You literally made the model version of an ant. That is the definition of impressive.
holy moly, well, what do you know! I`m too poor to buy this, but will consider it when I get the money, can`t believe it can haul more than a kilo in weight
Hi Sam, Are you aware that we are in British Summer Time now? You are advertising this episode as being at 6PM GMT on Sunday. That would be 7PM BST. Is that what you intended? Regards, Jim

42, that's just so perfect, the answer to life, the universe and apparently how much the Ruston can pull 😂👍
Thanks for spoiling it
Join Sam on Sunday April 12th with a brand new Locomotive Challenge featuring the Hornby Ruston Shunter.
How many wagons do you think the Ruston can manage?
Hornby well my can hardly pull two BR Mk1s
Hornby I think that it should be able to hall around 25 wagons or even 1 or 2 more.
Can y’all make a new LBSCR e2?
Chandlers Railway That is a very good suggestion
Can you please contact Lawrie from Lawries Mechanical Marvels as he owns a real life Ruston Hornsby 48 and he might want his loco created as a model.

36 counted them myself. Love it. If you know, you know
This is the most insane thing I’ve seen hahaha! What a train it pulled!
He didn't mention if the buffers were sprung, a staple of Sam's Trains. Congrats Sam on being featured on Hornby's channel.
He's getting paid to advertise for Hornby. He's not going to point out any negatives about their product in an ad.
@@Super1337357 Sprung Buffers are a positive thing
There's a TH-camr who actually owns a real ruston.
yes his name is Lawrie`s Mechanical Marvels and it is named Sir William Mcalpine
LMSFan13065 I would love to own one myself. Have one at our depot but would rather own one!
Lawrie goes loco
Laurie goes loco
Channel is named Lawrie`s Mechanical Marvels...not Lawrie goes loco.
Sam’s always up for a challenge. Love his locomotive reviews and his crazy and fun experiments.

Best model train TH-camr I've ever seen Sam's trains.

Well done Rusty way to go, never thought you would do that number. Nice bit of fun Sam xx
wow amazing horby congrates on your littel ruston amazing work you boy s and sam amazing job keep up the good work horby

Absolutely lovely to see you on the official channel itself,Sam!Congratulations!
what a great little loco Sam well done Hornby
That is a shiney new intro!

Wow, its strong and runs smooth! Maybe i oughta get myself one... along with a Peckett, i love the lil 0-4-0 locos
What a mighty little machine that is!
Wow Sam, talk about the little engine that could. That was amazing, Thanks!
Sam back then: yea I don’t think hornby sees these reviews.
Sam now:
Great to see you Sam!
This is insane! I have no idea why I grinned like a looney and felt such a surge of triumph on that last test!!
Ruston is small but very willing,
And so she hauls a load smiling.
This is the challenge of Sam's Train,
And it's insane.
Put her on the railway, show her the sign,
Take it to the limit one more time.
Decided to put fun lyrics in my favourite Eagles Song Take it to the Limit.
Congratulations Sam, Excellent Video for Hornby Trains.
Well done Hornby for making the Ruston it's amazing I'm impressed
Impressive, didn't think it would pull more than 20. Well done Sam 🤓🤓
Good to see Sam on here!
That's amazing sam. I can not believe that the smallest of locomotive can pull so much. That's absolutely amazing. I enjoyed the video. I believed the the locomotive could pull around 10 time it's own weight. Take care
What are the silver hopper wagons called?
Hey Sam great to see another video, I see this is your 2nd Ruston shunter review. Love your model train reviews you're a Legend 😊
I thought It could only handle 12 but it amazes me Holmby keep it up man do you a great job
42 model wagons, that is far beyond the capabilities of the prototype ! Those little engines were used to pull one or two real wagons at a time, maybe three or four at least, but not an entire train ! Hats off Hornby, that's what we can call a good product.
Nice vid Sam!!
I was not expecting more than 20
In all honesty Sam
I’m now going to purchase one for my shunting yard for fun times
Impressive stuff Sam. A little powerhouse! Al.
It's so tiny! Love it!
Wow, what an adorable little powerhouse!
Shhheezus 50x its own WEIGHT?!! What a TROOPER
I am impressed. That is some motor.
Woah! That is simply incredible! I have Co-Co locos with flywheels, huge weights and can motors which can't do that. Going to get a pair as the main shunters for my layout!

Thanks in advance.
Hornby you should use that into on all your videos but make it a bit longer! :D
Amazing little thing, I was considering getting one, probably will now 👍
Suggestion hornby, please revamp your class 142 pacer with the good hornby mechanism, DCC ready and no traction tyres please!!! At a decent price too :D

Is it a 48DS shunter?
So, two units could haul many wagons on your floor layout. Perhaps 30 wagons with no problem? You could Neuton test 30 wagons on some curves and then have the two Rustons pull them.
Awesome little loco', Sam.
John Canada
the only think I can say is score a fat win for the ruston
So, an Ant can carry 10-20 times its own weight. The Ruston can carry 15. You literally made the model version of an ant. That is the definition of impressive.
Absolutely amazing
I wouldn't mind see you do the same train length with other engines. LBSCR Terriers, Austerities and GWR Panniers
Little engine, great puller! Probably 36 - 40 wagons tops on a normal layout.
I wish I had one such a beautiful train 😭
That's our Sam!
Love that little thing
you mentioned that the loco in preservation which location
Hi Sam, are you in panto this year? Also, my mate Tom said can you run the Merchant Navy class please.
The track being completely level is dubious
there a lovely little thing and would look great on a small yard end to end lay out though there not cheap but they do look good
This was in my reccomend. I'm glad it was though.
Wow speed in the real life
“36 wagons that’s some crazy stuff.”
America: hold my beer
Halo7615 _ do you mean, Australia and Quebec IOC mine: hold my vegemite and maple syrup
Nice collab
I will definetely buy this loco now I'm amazed
Plot twist: The Ruston was only using 2% of its energy
9
Now that’s a strong engine
That looks so cute
i honestly thought it would start to struggle at around 10-15 wagons, but thats including its flatbed
All the Sams trains fans that accidentally expected his final rankings at the end of the vid 😂
I may be from the US and live in Florida but if there was one available in Lawrie goes loco colors I would buy her!
holy moly, well, what do you know! I`m too poor to buy this, but will consider it when I get the money, can`t believe it can haul more than a kilo in weight
Oh dang, i thought this was Sam's trains
nice one sam
Impressive! I might need to get one
Nice! 👍🏻❤️
The Little Engine That Could.
Hey Sam can you please review the prototype GNR A1 pacific locomotive
Hi Sam and hornby like the video
it sounds like sam is saying "Unfortunately it's preserved"
Before you started the test, I thought it may pull 12 to 15 wagons. Blimey
Awesome
Hi Sam,
Are you aware that we are in British Summer Time now? You are advertising this episode as being at 6PM GMT on Sunday. That would be 7PM BST. Is that what you intended?
Regards,
Jim
Thank you for informing us Jim, we will get this changed. We can confirm it will be 6pm BST. We hope you tune in.
That was quite a lot for a tiny Diesel engine. If the Ruston diesel can pull quite a lot of trucks, then imagine how many a large engine can pull.
Wow ok that was amazing I seriously am thinking about getting one
This is out in the UK and I live in America
I’d have to get a name plate fitted to it saying “Willie”
Can just imagine this on the layout quoting the simpsons "make way for willie"
Hey I'm a Ruston, I have a series of trains named after my family :-D
i thought this was a sams trains video for a moment
Please bring back hornby Thomas range
