I wish you would have gone all Pugsley Adams on them say on an outside track and some M80's, maybe next year. I was guessing before watching the video and thought the Black 5 would have made the list. Great fun and you have my vote for the Oscar. Great video, Jersey Bill
Ah yes, the one video of the year where we get to see Sam COMPLETELY lose his marbles (coincidentally possibly my favourite video type of the year, Sorry Sam), and goodness me have we got some real steaming rotten lemons this year
I agree with you on this bunch. It's clear that Hornby haven't listened to us and our pleas to put the Beatles train set to bed for good. However, I've uploaded a model railway video on my channel that will make you smile. I call it Bachmann & Triang. By that, I mean Bachmann Jimmy the Jinty towing Triang Allan the DMU. I wasn't certain if Allan the DMU would run on his own, so I coupled Jimmy the Jinty up in front of him and the pair worked together perfectly well. Merry Christmas.
haha thanks Kelly - yeah you're right there! I had a look at that earlier - it did make me smile - nice to see your trains running again... what was the paper in the middle for?? Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Thanks Sam, '2025 Landfill express'; you never fail to impress with your terminology. Have you got a stencil for a turd? Would definitely look cool sprayed on the flesh coloured shunter. Always a tonic watching you mate. Looking forward to the best locos. Cheers
Sam didn’t have to go that heavy on the Santa suit or any of the punishments for his models, but the fact he did shows how dedicated he is to his well warranted rail rage.
Whatever you do, don't look at the front cover of the December 2024 edition of Collectors Gazette. Oh, you just googled it. Don't say I didn't warn you.
Oh, do i love watching you absolutely roast the hell of 'innocent' locos! Having said that, nothing innocent about the hornby pug... awesome and very funny video as always sam!
American here. That last train is made by Model Power which went out of business 10 years ago (in 2014) and produced what have always been considered the worst models. However, here in America, they are at least priced as such. A model like that Southern Pacific would sell at my local hobby shop for $15-20 back in the day.
Absolutely the best model train entertainment of 2024. Well done Sam. It's not tongue in cheek, just comment on awful, over priced models, with lashings of humour. I'm now looking forward to the best 5 models, which will be completely different in tone.
I don't have model trains. I have never had a working train set. And yet this website has become my new comfort TV, in a nightmarish, genocidal world. Thank you, Sam's Trains, for buttressing my sanity.
Dear Sam’sTrains you have inspired me to make an insane decision. To buy a bachmann spectrum Pennsylvania 4-6-2 for my layout as my premier express engine. Thank you for getting me interested in model trains without you I would’ve had a wallet lol but seriously though I’m so glad that I found you and your channel. Happy holidays
I always look forward to your 'Worst Model Trains of 20__ ' videos. They're quite funny. The Oompa Loompa song parody made me breathless with laughter! Keep it up (unless it makes you go mad)!
In the past your funny moments are restricted to April the 1st only. It's nice to see you being comedic in more videos now. Haven't watched this one yet but it sure looks like one I'll be revisiting many times to come. :D
Keeping the dust off my oval of N Gauge track. My Dad taught me that when I'm not playing with trains, the track should be covered with either A4 sheets of paper or flexi-cardboard sheets. It helps keep the dust off and the track clean, so a track rubber doesn't always need to be used.
Just now I was trying to run my OO9 locos, the Quarry Hunslet kept stopping on points. As I was trying to reach it I accidentally pushed two OO9 coaches onto the floor, a Peco bug box and the Bachmann Thomas blue coach. The Bachmann suffered a chip on the roof. :'(
Sam’s ‘Worst Trains’ has become so much of my Christmas tradition, my cynical side - acquired through too many years of working with London Transport - tells me certain locos are bought each year specifically with this special video in mind. Merry Christmas!
haha it really has become tradition - the thing is that I don't discriminate - if it's a loco and I can review it, I'll buy it whether it looks good or not - the results are always fun! Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Your next 3d printed loco should be you trying to make the worst engine to ever exist, it would be fun to watch. Well good luck and happy holidays. P.S. the 19:14 Landfill express got me laughting so muuuch XD
Wow, manufacturers in 2024 are still making equipment with "pizza cutter" flanges? That's even worse than the steel track in the Bachmann "Jingle Bell Express" set.
Is the fourth place entry’s punishment an indication that we may in the future see a Sam’sTrains musical, with song and dance numbers by Heljan, Hornby and Bradford Exchange?
Yep it’s happened Sam has gone, gone, gone. To the Twilight Rest Home for the Permanently Baffled 😂 Aside from not really being able to watch the “Violation by” section, very amusing and fit for the standard of awful locos included 😂
The Ruston Shunter song got me 🤣 though I am impressed that the Beatles E2 loco from Hornby isn't here. I still believe for a big discount eventually you could get that model and repaint it into BR or LBSC black or something. But yeah, two Heljan, two Hornby and one nasty turd to finish it off. I think this year was worse than the previous one, although that Lionel Berkshire and that Bachmann street car ah and also the ARM C38 deserve it, even though the latter has escaped the video. Can't wait for the best models of this year. I am genuinely interested in who it's gonna be, as I have no clue which locos can be on top. Great video nevertheless. It was really funny 😅
Stumbled upon your channel by accident. I’m not a railway modeller I’m a scratch builder. But I have to say this was VERY entertaining indeed. Cracking stuff. 😂👏👏👏
it would honestly be pretty cool to see you do a video where you attempt to upgrade the worst one. i was expecting you to just murder it without remorse, but given you only painted it into new colors it would definitely be possible... probably
Hilarious! I do have to wonder whether the track recording coach was Heljan's first foray into rage baiting 😂 They must have put some effort into making it THAT bad.
@@SamsTrains I've heard it said, "If you're going to do something badly, do it MONUMENTALLY badly" - I think that's probably Heljan's unofficial motto 😂
My personal worst pick for 2024, my Lionel 8306 from the MPC era; Looks cheap, 2 stage reverse unit, the only metal is the wheels drawbar and sheet metal frame, and barely strong enough to pull 3 Madison coaches without chronic wheel slip. Runners up, Williams NYC Hudson due to lack of torque, no reverse lockout switch, and buggy sound board. RMT “beep” because of poor performance on O27 switches (which admittedly is like putting any long wheelbase 0-4-0 through 1st radius). These latter two are good locomotives, but you need to have the right setup for them to run well, and I only have access to the bedroom carpet central and a tubular track system that hasn’t been produced since 2015. As for the former, it’s a bottom of the barrel starter set, the only reason I have it is because my dad grew up around the (US) Southern Railway, look past the road name when looking for a good locomotive, and save your wallet from hot garbage.
@ trust me, the 8603 looks like something you’d buy for one of your el-cheapo segments, only it’s 3 rail O gauge and I don’t know if you’d be able to find an ac transformer with a UK plug. The Hudson and the beep are very attractive models and they can pull decently heavy loads especially the Hudson (which probably weighs about 5 1/2 pounds), I just wish I could better facilitate them. I would definitely recommend at least looking at pictures of them.
Man I Haven't Witnessed Such "Humorous" Anger Since Ricky Gervais Roasted/Hosted The 2020 Golden Globes! Also Reminds Me Of When I Met Lou Ferrigno(70's Live Action TV Hulk/90's Animated TV Hulk!) Sam's Trains 💥SMASH! 💥 😸 🚂 Cheers!
How did they make the Pug worse I have one of the R3728 I got it a couple years back and with cleaning and oiling it has served its purpose as a small passenger engine and shunter on my branch line layout it ran decently well out of the box Hornby seems to have worsened the model over time somehow. Great video. I have a question Sam do you know of a good place to send an engine in need of repairs I have a Hornby LNER J36 that needs part X6113 replaced with the tender to loco wires or know somewhere I can order the part from.
Yeah my one from a few years back is fine too - they've made "upgrades" to this version, which made it worse! Hmm I'm not sure unfortunately - maybe have a google see if there's a model shop near by that does repairs? Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Number 1 looks familiar... Oh yeah, I have a 1980s Lionel shunter that looks to like the same thing!!! Assuming they stole the design from them or something because the Lionel shunter is metal...
The problem with the Hornby Pug is that the world has moved in and the Pug hasn't, which is a great shame as the original loco has a lot of charm to it. It is a loco I would have thought would have been ripe to pick off by a manufacturer as there were a lot of livery options as a good few were sold off industrial users. There is a nice chassis kit available which moves the engine out of the cab. Although it was released by Dapol, it was a planned release by Airfix, and so would have appeared about 1982, when it would have been not the worst loco around.
@ this is the exact issue. Sam mentions this, it’s a 40 year old model. If he got it at the value it would’ve been in from 1984, I don’t think there would’ve been a problem because he’d know what he was getting himself into
I always read or watch reviews before I buy a new engine because I want it to last me a decent amount of time I have had engines that are 50 to 80 years old still running great after a little maintenance
Sam: *goes through absolute hell because of these particular locos*
The viewers: "This is where the fun begins..."
hahaha it's true!!
Why did I read that in Anakin Skywalker's voice
@@Liam199Mcgrath Because he did indeed say that.
The best thing about the end of a year:
We can see Sam lose his mind over bad trains
hahaha absolutely right!!
Should have subjected that Beatles loco to music by Yoko Ono to force it to break up
Oh blimey yeah... but that would have been a bit too far... I think the violating was more palatable!!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
One of the best videos of 2024 presenting the worst model trains of 2024. Well done, Sam! Merry Christmas!
haha thank you so much! :D
I feel violated after seeing have happened to that Beatles engine
hahaha sorry about that!!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
I *LOVE* the intro to this video! Keep up the great work! 11:13
This was absolutely classic!
hahaha thanks so much! :D

haha that's not a bad punishment idea actually... next year!!!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
On the side of one of the wagons in the train set it reads ‘THEBEATLESHITS’ - sums the set up.
hahaha true actually - amazing observation ahhaha!

Sam didn’t have to go that heavy on the Santa suit or any of the punishments for his models, but the fact he did shows how dedicated he is to his well warranted rail rage.
haha many thanks - if one is going to range, one should do so correctly and fully!

I saw it in WHS the other day. Some people are easily pleased.
Oh good lord... what were they thinking?!?!??!
The Beatles segment was disturbing.
haha sorry about that!
We got top five worse model trains of 2024 before Sonic 3. Happy holidays Sam.
haha yep!! Happy Holidays! :D
The best video of the year! I laughed at all the punishments to the locomotives and that scream at 0:18. Merry Christmas.
haha thanks so much!! Merry Christmas :D

The Dapol/Hornby Pug as one of the worst models of 2024? Who would’ve thought…

The problem with the Hornby Pug is that the world has moved in and the Pug hasn't, which is a great shame as the original loco has a lot of charm to it. It is a loco I would have thought would have been ripe to pick off by a manufacturer as there were a lot of livery options as a good few were sold off industrial users.
