- Chap called "Toby" contacted me saying he had a troublesome Class 9F he was going to sell on eBay but would I like to have it instead. He also included something weird....
Thanks very much to Toby. Hugely appreciated!

Hi Bill.
Why not donate locos you've been sent to charity after you have been given them and fixed them and made videos for your channel.
It really could turn into a good thing. And there are plenty of charities who are skint at the moment. One suggestion is your local preserved railway. Typically they will have an outlet for just this sort of donation.
Meantime...would be great to see the guts of that Jouef loco. I believe there were 2 types of mechanisms but I have yet to work on either. All the best Gary
This ^^ 🚂🚃🚃🚃
Thanks Bill, as a newbie modeller I learn something new from all your videos, so I really appreciate you sharing your own learning curve from these donations. I'm sure you'll find a suitable solution to excess pieces, and I do like the idea of a charity benefiting from any proceeds. Meanwhile, please keep on sharing those repairs, it's confidence building!!
Best regards
Tim
As 48firefox says the LMS is actually BR coaches but Hornby painted them in -regrouping liveries . You could take that LMS coach and repaint it BR Maroon as it is a composite corridor . That would give you first class accommodation . Joueff stuff is quite old . It was cheaper than Triang and sold through Woolworths .
The hornby Lms coach is actually a BRmk1. hornby branded them LMS which is incorrect.
Hi Bill, can't wait for the update on 9f , I was given an engine of that other one ( turned out to be rubish had metal fatigue and fell apart), good luck, All the Best Brian
I've got the Jouef OO Class 40 - brute of a model but as you say the gears look somewhat flimsy. However it works fine complete with growl and runs well!
You should do a giveaway for any locos you don’t want
Looking forward to seeing this video
Congrats again :)
HO, is the correct size for the track we use for OO. OO, should be a little bit wider for the correct gauge for OO.
Yep, wish P4 would get popular enough for manufacturers to make it straightforward to switch locos and stock between the two. OO has always looked like the train is on its tiptoes to me.
I have one of those Jouef loco's, it was part of a job lot purchase. It does have some rather outlandish size gears! The strangest thing is when I kill the power it continues to roll on by for another couple of feet.... like a runaway, makes it very weird with coupling
Good idea for competitions
I was going to suggest auctioning them for charity, but I've been beaten to the charity suggestion. 🙂
Lucky you 😁 how far up, or down, the list am I for my Lima King George V locomotive repair?😬
I have to ask: Why are so many British model OO locomotives are tender driven? As a Yank I don't see that with American HO models. I don't merely mean when the motor is in the tender, you will see several examples of that, mostly in the smaller models of mid 19th century and earlier locomotives, but they have drive shafts transmitting the power from the tender bound motor to the actual loco's drive wheels. I mean those tender drive engines that uses the tender as a locomotive, as if it was a model diesel, with the actual engine drive wheels free wheeling.
The one and only example of an American made model is a 2-8-0 consolidation (or 0-8-0) made by Tyco for the train set market called "The Chattanooga Choo-Choo". It had a pancake motor set up broadly similar to the famous Renfield motor found in the tenders of British models. Most serious modelers consider it a toy. I'm converting one to have the motor and drive train *inside* the boiler. But why are British so accepting?
That 2-10-0 Class 9F is great looking but the work is really done by the tender! I am thinking of getting a Hornby Flying Scotsman but its tender driven. Blah!
Ah tender drive. Hate it with a passion. I can remember being really miffed as a kid when Hornby started doing it in the '70's.
I think the reasoning was mainly a cost cutting exercise enabling the use of a standard drive unit dispensing with the need to develop new tooling to accommodate the standard motor every time they did a new loco. Also it means you can have daylight under the boiler - back then a Triang Hornby XO4 motor and worm drive was a pretty big lump to fit in a small British outline steam loco. Now motor technology has moved on with smaller more powerful (and cheaper!) units I see they've gone back to loco drive again.
As for Flying Scotsman the original 1960's R850 Triang Hornby A3 version was loco driven. They retooled it in the late 70's with tender drive as the original A1 version. I believe the current one is again a loco drive, as is their 9F.
@@robinforrest7680 No, it started with Triang Hornby looking at European brands like Marklin, decided to do a big impressive premium loco like the ubiquitous German 2-10-0s. Hence Evening Star: all new parts, fully flanged, full valve gear, Euro style tender ringfield motor. Much higher price, which always worried cost-conscious Triang.

Maybe but I'm pretty sure the main motive was cost cutting. They used it on Britannia (which was already a long established loco drive model) and on the Black Five which was never available with loco drive even though if you cut out the motor shaped lump from the chassis and add a gear to the rear driving axle will take an XO4 With no issues (I retrofitted XO4 loco drive to mine very easily back in the 70's because I hated tender drive so much!).
Pick a good charity like Medicine Sans Frontiers and auction your unwanted stuff off and donate the money to that charity
Nice 👌
Hi Bill, Check the chassis for mazak rot distorting it. They have been known to disintergrate. I had one that did that. but as I only bought it for spares for another engine and did not need the chassis it was not really a problem. Perhaps the Jouef coaches could be used as 57 ft local coaches.
not the margate stuff only china made is affected
Like Christmas every day!
I’d like some more hornby class 58’s please 😇 runners or not for my shed diorama
I think the guy that gifted you that lot should find out how to sell on eBay
Dear Sir,
I made a comment on your video, a joke about HO donations and sugested you look what's available to us, HO Brazilians, in the only manufacturer in South America, Frateschi. I put the link with "dot" replacing the dots. Methinks the comment was erased. Apparently this is against YT rules.
I also made a comment on how british steam and diesel are the most beautiful machines. Pardon le français.
Cheers from Brazil!
"You're gonna need a bigger layout."
HO is 1:87. OO is 1:76.
You need some Southern stock!
I need many things! Southern stock will come. There's a few southern locos I really like so lots to do.
I recently bought a brand new 1970s Fleischmann Class 42 Warship in green and it is HO but I have no rolling stock. I thought, as I have very limited space at home, the smaller scale would help. Help being the operative word, I am seeking maroon coaches. There, that is my plea, a wish perhaps :-)
HO being half O gauge.
i have done small layouts for kids whos moms and dads cant afford christmas toys if anyone as rolling stock or locos and would wish to help out please let me know
"See how a Jouef model from 1965 works" 😂😂 Er in my expérience they don't ! Loads of my French mates have Dug out their childhood train stuff over the years to test it on my layout. I don't think we've ever had a single one that has run. The Jouef mechanisms of the sixties and seventies were truly awful and very weird! They didn't seem to know what a simple worm drive was and had complicated cascades of gears, shaft drives and even belt drive tender drive systems later. I've never succeeded in getting one to work properly so I'll be very interested to see how you get on with this one. Good luck 👍🤞.
