Great video Sam I always enjoy watching your different engines at work. You have such a great inventory and the great variety of years it is like a historical trip through time. Can not wait for your videos this year.
I think you should perform tests on sprung and unsprung loco chassis. In theory a 6-wheel rigid chassis can only contact the track at 3 points, making reliability dicey. A sprung centre axle means 5-point contact. If the chassis is true to within .001 inch, and also the track, you may occasionally do better than 3 or 5-point contact. I have had several slightly warped chassis, over the years, even from new, which actually rock slightly on the centre axle, and this certainly does spell trouble - a situation I have retrieved by fitting springs and giving the centre axle some upward freedom in the chassis. I can hardly get my DJ 14xx to run at all because of this. I think you should look at chassis alignment when reviewing models, especially the fully rigid ones. I know you are dismissive of sprung axles, but experience over many years suggests that you should credit manufacturers for including them. You wouldn’t believe how much more reliable (not necessarily refined!!!) my old Mainline 57xx is even now (modified with lots of springs), compared with out of the box models such as the Hornby 61xx, and even to some extent the Dapol 41xx - this had problems with the pony wheel frames being hard up against the chassis at all times, despite some lovely coil springs which Dapol had fitted - they didn’t allow the requisite upward movement, which I subsequently carefully provided, and transformed the running.
I noticed, with the King class in the first 3, that it's wheels were slipping rather than the motor stalling. Maybe the slow performance wasn't totally due to the motor this time
Thanks for the video. Lots of bright combinations to brighten up January. It was great to see Gladstone and Copper Knob running with the 4 wheel coaches. They really are great looking in combinations like that. Blessings for the New Year and all the projects to come.
Looks like someone else was inspired by my explosive request, lol. SAM: Kelly, I don't appreciate you putting me in danger like this, but a request is a request. (QUEEN ANNE SHUNTER runs into the GWR Gunpowder Van. A loud explosion erupts!)
Hi. Bryan Hardy (Upside down as I am from Australia)...Love your presentation, fair assessments of products etc... BUT PLEASE More gauge O reviews on Locos as we Model NSWGR O Gauge Railways ( English by origin) ...There is bloody few around...look forward to this...whenever. Ta. Cheers Bryan.
Really great to have something to watch for second coffee on my day off. I'd completely forgotten I'd requested Gladstone so that was a lovely surprise, she really is a beauty. You should deffo do one in a different livery or perhaps go for something else in the National Collection? What about an era one item of stock with compatible couplings/coupling mounts to go with rocket/lion?
Do you know why R30225SS BR, Stanier 5MT 'Black 5', 4-6-0, 44726 With Steam Generator - Era 5 has be now put back to be released in 2024-25, I paid for a preorder 12 months ago so it could be 3 years to wait for this. Hornby failing yet again.
I am just starting from scratch in a shed, i have to do some repairs before i start building, I am using youtube as a way of cataloguing my journey, but your videos are brilliant, thank you
A very enjoyable video. No DCC controller at present, oh dear did Santa slip up. DC wins the day again lol. All best for next videos…4K soon. Regards Marc
For Christmas I got a borsley junction brakevan great model (Oxford rail not Hornby) inside and outside detail, another model for my collection witch is the crimson king f.p mining company a small coach and the brakevan I mentioned, also this was a great model, could you 3-d print a A-4 but put it in a Sam's train livery? Also any Murphy modules this year?? :)
I got some more creative requests coming up, Sam. Some American, some British. Also 1361...that was hilarious. Must have been some slow reactive explosives in the vans.
Call yo'sel a celebrated model railway reviewer do ya? Ha! Absolute tosh. Go to the back of the class for not having a working DCC controller 01:08. Go to your room for not having a spare. A great, if tangential way to allow the conspiratory commenters of the "don't believe a word, they're all in the pocket of the manufacturers this lot" school, to realise that you'd have boxes of controllers to hand. Go to the head of the queue for your honesty. Lesser mortals would have shunted the issue into a disused siding and binned the request altogether.
Btw you said you made a few more videos in 2022 than in 2021 right, I think it's because you were still doing Monday videos when the livestreams were ongoing.
Great videos i started to convert my loft for my trains and ended up putting my foot through the ceiling. I'm now on a small layout in the back room.
😂
Whoever asked for old, new, borrowed and blue has two things: a great taste in music and a brilliant idea for Sam's trains
I think Santa may was heading to a warzone.
I’m really glad that the Q1 fanbase is growing these past couple of years
Was the American locomotive an S160? We’ve had one visiting the Epping Ongar Railway!!

Amazing video! I don't know a lot about British locomotives but thanks to you I'm learning!
Just remeber folks it's not carpet it's blue ballast.

haha absolutely!! I remember yours well ;)
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
@@SamsTrains The gunpowder vans that 1361 hit had a chain reaction happen inside the van. That's why the explosion didn't happen instantly.
Most DCC-decoders support analogue DC, they just cannot go very slow in this mode.

Perhaps the "Christmas war train" is a reference to the Christmas truce of WW1.
When did you get the 33037 Q1? I thought you only had C24 and 33009
Do you think you can review something modern like the class 800?
Hey Sam do you own any plank wagon which say E&WYUR on the side, if you do I would love to see them running
12:33 thats ok Sam. Thank you
Cheers Jasper & Willow
Glad you liked it!! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Hopefully I'll still be around to see the King run again with that exact rake of Pullmans, you never know. 🥲
I'm sure you will do!! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
16:47 is that a borsley junction brakevan????
Two flying sausages! WOW!!
you should do gladstone in the LB&SC burnt umber livery. It would just look beautiful.
Ironic, as I have four Castles. but my old King is a bit poorly too.
Awesome video, great to see you back. Just ordered my Accura 50!
Thank you so much! Ahh wonderful - sure those will be amazing!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Love the double headers or triple headers along with the variety of locomotives and rolling stock! 👍

Sam, I have 1 question to ask you. Do you celebrate Chinese New Year or not?
Do you know why R30225SS BR, Stanier 5MT 'Black 5', 4-6-0, 44726 With Steam Generator - Era 5 has be now put back to be released in 2024-25, I paid for a preorder 12 months ago so it could be 3 years to wait for this. Hornby failing yet again.
can you do a review horbny new set pls because a whant to buy ste and i dont now is it good or bad
Why does the rebuilt W1 look like the A4?
You should make another glad stone but in a Sam's train livery
I am abit late to the video but, doesent Dcc also work on Dc or is that just my Märklin and Roco bouble
15:00 Bullman is abandoned lol
I am just starting from scratch in a shed, i have to do some repairs before i start building, I am using youtube as a way of cataloguing my journey, but your videos are brilliant, thank you

I’m not happy wait I am very happy
Kato is shipping out their new N scale Amtrak ALC-42s tomorrow. Will you be trying N gauge sometime this year? 😊
That sounds exciting - I would love to, no firm plans yet though!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)

So cool sam
Thanks Justin! :D
A very enjoyable video. No DCC controller at present, oh dear did Santa slip up. DC wins the day again lol. All best for next videos…4K soon. Regards Marc
I feel I’m in the minority, that being I quite like the Q1 & don’t think they’re ugly.
Hope you have a good day
Thanks Daniel, you too!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
I'm not going to be able to request anything but could you possible run a j50 tank engine in your next video? (Pls)
Love the new requests keep it up
Thank you so much!! :D
Have you bought the Rivarossi Big Boy?
I haven't yet!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Nice video
Thank you! :D
Forgot I had a request to be shown
Ahh no problem! Hope you enjoyed! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)

12:24 I wonder who that is?

You should tape a cutout of your face on a Thomas engine
It would be funny
G'day sam
Would like to see more AC Electric locomotives reviewed including EMU sets like the 800...
I got some more creative requests coming up, Sam. Some American, some British. Also 1361...that was hilarious. Must have been some slow reactive explosives in the vans.
Thank you, Sam! Appreciated very much!
It’s not chrismas
A good selection of Rolling Stock & locos!!! 🙂🚂🚂🚂

Decent video Sam, some actual decent trains.
Very much so David! :D
Hey Sam, Im new to the channel and I wanted to know if you planned on decorating the whole Railroad or you are just going to leave it that way.
You know you could do running requests through the TH-cam super thanks function outside your livestreams
Sam, if you really want to do another Gladstone in a simpler livery, how about one in Southern green?
Btw you said you made a few more videos in 2022 than in 2021 right, I think it's because you were still doing Monday videos when the livestreams were ongoing.
You’ve passed series 10. Now you’ve got to stop making live streams.
Cool
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Will there be an April Fools video this year? :D
Don’t give away other videos please thank you.
Not first
Good attempt but I beat you!
@@timbervalleyproductions good job
haha not far away!
First
Congratulations
Well done
@@NWRJ_WStudios Thanks lol :)
@@timbervalleyproductions your very welcome
