@@SamsTrains Agreed the darker BR green really does suit the model but most people seem to prefer the LNER colour scheme. Thank you Sam I am getting my model train fix by watching your videos. Maybe one day I will work out a way of having my own small layout, N gauge possibly as its smaller.
Great video Sam. I'm old enough to remember when they were released by a Triang Hornby. Great fuss was made at the time of differences between two variants. The BR one had the non corridor tender the LNER one , the corridor tender. The LNER one was so succesfull that Triang Hornby introduced the big 4 colour schemes on their models after that, previously they'd all been BR livery
Hi Russell, thanks very much for the comment - that's a good point about all the early ones being in BR - I'd never noticed that before! Thank goodness they did model the older liveries in the end! All the best mate, Sam :)
love this train. Somehow, I've ended up with 3 flying Scotsman's, I got the start set, my dad bought won and, my grandad bought won. another great video Sam, keep it up. Chris :)
great loco there sam ! loved seeing the Scotsmen! back together, for the age of her she's a great runner and does some great slow speed -all the best :)
I really like Flying Scotsman's LNER Apple Green and Wartime Black liveries, but I would really like to see Flying Scotsman in its rarely seen and worn BR Passenger Blue livery.
Hi mate, yeah what a good idea BR blue is - that really would be fantastic - I guess it'd make the traditionalists a little angry though lol! Cheers mate, Sam :)
One of the best Sam. Thank you. I think the odd man out was the ex LMS Jinty, the rest being ex LNER / NE locos. Nice brief Bullman pass too. Cheers, David.
This was the Flying Scotsman when it was in the BR days around the late 1940s and most other locomotives went into a BR Green Blue or Black and have a 5 digit running number. I love the BR Green with the black wheels. :D
Hello again Sam, I really love your Flying Scotsman video, I think your Triang Flying Scotsman in BR Brunswick Green looks awesome, strong & powerful. The livery of Flying Scotsman I prefer is the LNER Apple Green and the original number 4472, it's makes the locomotive very well recognised to steam railway enthusiasts. I went on the Flying Scotsman at the East Lancashire Railway back in October, that was great fun back then. Once again and as always, I love your video and give it 10/10 and 5 stars. ⛤⛤⛤⛤⛤😃👍
Hi Jordan, thanks very much again mate for the very kind words - I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Yes the LNER livery is the more traditional one - and normally that is the favourite I think! It's so awesome that you got to ride her too - I bet that was a fantastic experience?! All the best mate, Sam :)
great o see3 some more triang loco's there's something about them that has that classic charm. plus 9:14 was like an image of transformation from lner to br even the coaches.
according to my trainspotting i saw a wren a4 golden eagle i think, a triang minty 3f, an, your Bachmann j39, at 11:25 a j50 tank(i think), a b12 in br experimental blue and th4 odd one out was the jinty because its an lms loco amongst all the lner locos.
I just remembered flying Scotsman while on tour she came to america and my grandad has a picture with it and it look a little different because it had a red cow catcher on her. She looked great maybe union Pacific (and big railway here in the US) maybe the should send the restored big boy engine to the UK.
Hi Sam didn't know triang did that model in that livery. I have the hornby triang version in original apple green and I wish to find one like that in the future . Keep up the good work and look forward to more reviews thanks, Archie
Great review as always.....I must have had one of the very first LNER Apple Green versions. Ordered from the local toy shop as soon as I saw it in the catalogue (I believe it featured on the front page...prob in a painting by T. Cuneo...along with his trademark mouse!) I drove the poor shop keeper nuts for the next couple of months by going in every day and asking if it had arrived!!!
Well done Sam, nice to see 3 Scotsmans... : ) The BR version seems to pull more, I've often thought that the nickel tired locos have less grip. I wonder if a previous owner has added a little more weight to the chassis ? The tender is the version without the corridor, good to see Tri-ang Hornby modelled both at the time. : ) Regards, Cliff.
Hi Cliff, thanks a lot mate - glad you enjoyed it! Yes there was a large brass weight added towards the front of the body - you can actually see it through the gaps! It means that she's closer to the weight of Wrenn loco, and pulls accordingly! Yeah it was nice that they modeled both - they could have easily recycled the very same moulding! All the best, Sam :)
Sure was a great review Sam, it is sad that Scotsman is the last of its kind left, and if it weren't for the efforts of Alan pegler then not even she would have survived. But still a superb model and my favourite livery is the LNER apple green. Keep the faith - Callum
Hi Callum - thanks very much, yeah it really is a shame - but thank goodness we do have the one! Yeah the LNER green is definitely the more traditional livery! All the best, Sam :)
If I recall correctly, Knuckles (Sparkshot’s Custom Creations) also used a Triang-Hornby A3 body for his Henry Mk1. It always amazes me what folks can make with these locos.
That's a real beauty. well worth £65. you always seem to find such great models, and was that a J50 on the siding by the crane ,,, great stuff. ,,, Regards Mark
Aye Sam you got a good one, My Scotsman has the same box top, i can't remember any other loco having that. then again I don't have that many boxes from that era cheers Mark
i was not going to comment because i know your busy but let be fair how many vids have i not commented on? the wheels look modern and i love that black and sliver the history by tri ang is great it shocked me great vid arp
Thanks very much mate! Yeah you do always comment - and I really appreciate it! Yeah I love the wheels on this one too! :D Why did the info shock you?? lol! Cheers mate, Sam :)
Did you ever have problems with these flying scotsmans getting caught in the Hornby points usually in the rerailer, Or do I have I in-originally long flanges?
Hi mate - no this one has the small flanges! I'm not certain, but I think all the flying Scotsman models had the small flanges too! All the best, Sam :)
Cheers for the reply mate. No but my one has huge flanges, I think I'll come to the conclusion the wheels aren't original or they are more unlikely worn down. All the best mate!
Flying Scotsman had its corridor tender swapped with a streamlined non corridor tender in 1938, which it kept I believe until 1963, when Pegler bought an A4 corridor tender, which it has to this day.
Yep, the model lends to kitbashing very well due to how sturdy it is, plus it's relatively plain looks compared to other A1/3 models make it easier to add things without taking away from the original model too much.
Fantastic running session! I have to go with the BR Green one. I have one as well, and when the real one came back into service this year, it had the trial runs around my birthday in January! So I'm now a fan of that BR Green!
+Sam'sTrains To see that loco reborn on my birthday was an amazing present! Oh, found a great used Hornby Thomas set for my daughter for Christmas! The next generation is now set for model railways here!
Hi thanks for the comment! She appeared with either at different times - two tenders were necessary when she did the super long journeys! All the best, Sam :)
Sam'sTrains I can understand that. In Thomas & Friends they did mention to why Flying Scotsman had two tenders in the show. Granted the episode they mentioned it they never acknowledged the brotherly bond between him & Gordon, another A1 (I think what you said it was) but they did come the recent movie. Many thanks for the information, Mech.
Scottie looks better in LNER Apple Green with the number 4472. Three Scotties together? Two's company, three's a crowd. You've got one too many Scotties here, Sam. Stick to the Hornby Scottie because I've got that model myself, and she runs perfectly; I've not encountered any troubles with her yet. Get rid of those other three; you don't need four Scotties now, do you? One is enough for both of us, I say. By the way, the odd one out is way too easy: BR Black Jimmy the Jinty is the oddity.
Hi again mate - yeah I think this looks good to - glad you liked her! I quite like her in the Black paint actually - though I must admit I love the green more! All the best, Sam :)
I'm not sure if I asked this before (I probably have) but would you ever consider getting a Scotsman with its auxiliary tender if you don't already have it?
Hi Alex! Yeah that'd be awesome, I'd love to do that - though I don't want a tender-driven one, so I guess it may be trickier to find loco driven! All the best, Sam :)
she also suffered an almost disastrous fate in 1926 when a group of striking miners lifted a rail to stop a train that they thought was pulling coal what they didn't know, it was a passenger train hauled flying scotsman and then it derailed that almost destroyed her completely
Hi Sam Do you think a Triang flying Scotsman body would fit on a modern Hornby flying Scotsman chassis? I have been given 2 LNER 4472 Scotsman’s and I was thinking about putting a Triang BR 60103 Body on it to make it a big different
I think it might do actually, but obviously you'd need to find a way of fixing it on. Also depends on whether they're the same length... tri-ang locos had a habit of being a bit short! Thanks for watching, Sam :)
I have this. I added a couple of BR wing smoke deflectors and real coal and now it REALLY looks the business! It's a massive cliche but I'll say it anyway....they don't make 'em like they used to.
It's already full of dozens of historical inaccuracies... these old Tri-ang toys are just that...TOYS. Super detail and accuracy are immaterial, so one more historical inaccuracy is a fine compromise for sheer character and I personally think it looks lovely.
There's something about triang locos that look different from the rest I think it's the big side rods and old looking wheels also maybe cheap looking plastic
SAM SAM!! The Flying Scotsman is already been rebuilt in war time black and it’s back today 2019 it’s back on its own tracks in service again can you make a video of you riding the train
haha thanks for the comment! Yeah their rocket was pretty impressive though - especially for the time! I was pretty pleased with this one anyway! :D All the best, Sam :)
It's a shame that all three of Flying Scotsman's owners have died. Tony Marchington died in October 2011, Alan Pegler died four months later, and William McAlpine died in March 2018. May they R.I.P.
Hi Jeff, I know - I just love the way these locos run! The LNER ones are close to identical, though technically they were released after the company became Hornby, or tri-ang/Hornby - but yes, the same thing! Cheers, Sam :)
Hi Sam - firstly I try to buy later models (with the non-solid wheels), which were produced with smaller flanges. Also - it is possible to grind the larger flanges down, so that they don't catch on the points! Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Hey Ben! I can do Q&As during live streams if you have any questions! Yes I've reviewed most of them, but I do have some new stuff that I'm still waiting to show! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)
BR green looks amazing. Especially since the Scotsman is back on the rails
Thanks mate! I love the BR green too - I think it's really smart! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)

Hi Will thanks so much for the kind words - haha I do get a little over enthusiastic sometimes though!

My favorite flying Scottmen is liner green but this one is great to.
Hi Jacob - yeah I think the LNER green is always the more popular one - but yeah I like them all too! :D
All the best mate,

love this train. Somehow, I've ended up with 3 flying Scotsman's, I got the start set, my dad bought won and, my grandad bought won. another great video Sam, keep it up.
Chris :)
Chris Harvey sry I’ll get annoyed if I don’t tell you this it’s one or 1 .won that means the past tense of win
I have 3 aswell. The 2000s tender drive one (Broken) Early railroad version (Broken) and Tri-ang Apple green A3 edition( same one james may has)
the triang flying scotsman looks absolutely beautiful against the white background wall
I agree - they really are lovely aren't they?? :3
Happy New Year,
Sam :)
All beautiful locos. I have a thing for Triang from my childhood and still run a couple of them.
Thanks Philip, I agree - these don't often let you down!
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
Best Sam'sTrains quote ever: No, you haven't got a problem with your sight, you can see 3 Flying Scotsmans at 1 time.
haha thanks very much, lol! ;D

Hi Sam enjoyed watching your Flying Scotsman locos yes the BR Green is my favourite too.
Merry Xmas and Happy New Year. Michael.
Hi Michael, thanks for the comment mate - glad theres someone else out there who likes the BR green haha!
Merry Christmas to you too,

Not much to go wrong with these Sam and easy to maintain and fix, great run, like both. Regards John from Oz.

Hi great collection there Sam. BR green for me. Cliff is right about the plated wheels. Definitely reduces pulling performance.
Oscar
Hi Oscar, many thanks! Yeah I thought you'd like that one the most - yes he was right, definitely better pullers those!

One of the best Sam. Thank you. I think the odd man out was the ex LMS Jinty, the rest being ex LNER / NE locos. Nice brief Bullman pass too. Cheers, David.

You can also use it for Awdry's Gordon for his layout.
If I recall correctly, Knuckles (Sparkshot’s Custom Creations) also used a Triang-Hornby A3 body for his Henry Mk1. It always amazes me what folks can make with these locos.
I watched the documentary of the over haul! i loved it
Oh very nice - I've never seen that, is it worth a look?? :(
All the best,
Sam :)
yes!
Actually she was painted in BR express passenger blue and then somewhere in the 60's then it was painted in BR Brunswick green
Ah right cool! It'd be great to see a model of her in the blue! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
It's on the rails again, and it looks like that, but it does have smoke deflectors in actuality
Absolutely - I'd love to get one with the deflectors, they look beautiful on her! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
That's a real beauty. well worth £65. you always seem to find such great models, and was that a J50 on the siding by the crane ,,, great stuff. ,,, Regards Mark
Thanks Mark! I did shop around a bit - and it seemed quite a good
price for close to mint condition!

Aye Sam you got a good one, My Scotsman has the same box top, i can't remember any other loco having that. then again I don't have that many boxes from that era cheers Mark
3:28 it also holds the record for unstreamlined steam.
Yes it does, very true! :D
Mine has got to be well, The Apple / LNER green to! but i also like war time black, believe it or not.
That's fair enough mate - it's the more classic livery! And yes - war time black is lovely too! :D

Awesome, glad you like it! It's definitely one of mine too! :D
All the best,

the wheels look modern and i love that black and sliver
the history by tri ang is great it shocked me
great vid
arp

Yeah I love the wheels on this one too! :D
Why did the info shock you?? lol!

Your best bet is to keep an eye on Ebay, and see if you can pick one up! :D

Did you ever have problems with these flying scotsmans getting caught in the Hornby points usually in the rerailer, Or do I have I in-originally long flanges?

Thanks! Yeah these always hold up really well - hopefully it'll keep running in another 50 years!

Nice review Sam .Interesting how the BR one has a non corridor tender.
Thanks very much mate - yeah that is odd actually, maybe it had an alternative in real life?
All the best,
Sam :)
Sam'sTrains now its in crew and i whent to see it
crewe herritage center to be accurate
Flying Scotsman had its corridor tender swapped with a streamlined non corridor tender in 1938, which it kept I believe until 1963, when Pegler bought an A4 corridor tender, which it has to this day.
A stunning triang Scotty
I've seen some customized versions of these, made into other A1/3s, even a model of 'Humorist'
Oh cool! That's pretty good - I've never seen a customized one, but I'd buy one for sure if I did!
Cheers mate,
Sam :)
Yep, the model lends to kitbashing very well due to how sturdy it is, plus it's relatively plain looks compared to other A1/3 models make it easier to add things without taking away from the original model too much.
11:11 J39
Yep, lovely model! :)
nice flying Scotsman.
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it!
Cheers,
Sam :)
I wish the gold plated Flying Scotsman's gold on his piston rods and wheels wouldn't wore out
Yeah! I wish I had that one too - but it would wear out I think, it's a only very very thin layer!
All the best,
Sam :)
Fantastic running session! I have to go with the BR Green one. I have one as well, and when the real one came back into service this year, it had the trial runs around my birthday in January! So I'm now a fan of that BR Green!
Hi Ed, thanks a lot mate - wow that must have been a good birthday present hehe! Yeah, I like that br green too actually!
All the best,

Hi mate, yeah sure - more diesels on the way soon!
All the best,
Sam :)
Thanks im sure im not the only one if not do what you do best sam
I never really quite understood why it is that sometime the Scotsman is shown with a singular tender sometimes & with two tenders other times.
Hi thanks for the comment! She appeared with either at different times - two tenders were necessary when she did the super long journeys!

She Look good , Like BR Scotsman but Like 4472
Sam and She was paint in Black In the War yeas and She come to Salisbury this year
Hi again mate - yeah I think this looks good to - glad you liked her! I quite like her in the Black paint actually - though I must admit I love the green more!

That's great to hear - she's a real classic locomotive! :D

she also suffered an almost disastrous fate in 1926 when a group of striking miners lifted a rail to stop a train that they thought was pulling coal what they didn't know, it was a passenger train hauled flying scotsman and then it derailed that almost destroyed her completely
Oh blimey - I never knew about that - thanks for the cool story!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Hi Sam
Do you think a Triang flying Scotsman body would fit on a modern Hornby flying Scotsman chassis? I have been given 2 LNER 4472 Scotsman’s and I was thinking about putting a Triang BR 60103 Body on it to make it a big different
I think it might do actually, but obviously you'd need to find a way of fixing it on. Also depends on whether they're the same length... tri-ang locos had a habit of being a bit short!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
I saw e flying Scotsman in the national railway museum
Oh very nice!! I saw her while she was there too - very impressive!! :D

I looked up the br black flying scotsman i love that more than the lner, br green and br blue
Ooh yeah - they look epic don't they?! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Nice engine Sam!
Thanks a lot Roy!
All the best,
Sam :)
Hi Sam,
How much trains have you in your collection? ;)
Roy :D
hey sam are you going to be reviewing the new hornby b12 when it comes out? just wondering.
Hi mate! I would love to, but it's not likely at the current price - £160 is far too much to pay for that in my opinion!
All the best,
Sam :)
I have this. I added a couple of BR wing smoke deflectors and real coal and now it REALLY looks the business!
It's a massive cliche but I'll say it anyway....they don't make 'em like they used to.
Ooh that does sound amazing - great idea adding the deflectors!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
You made a mistake because it's a SINGLE chimney and the smoke deflectors came when they had the double one fitted
I'm not a rivet counter mate...
@@fp7026 oh I'm sorry mate that I only wanted to point out a historical fact 🙄😠
It's already full of dozens of historical inaccuracies... these old Tri-ang toys are just that...TOYS. Super detail and accuracy are immaterial, so one more historical inaccuracy is a fine compromise for sheer character and I personally think it looks lovely.
Great vid mate! Now I'm off to the optician because I'm seeing triple. P.S 14:02 cow
haha - please don't tell them it was me that ruined your eyes! ;)
Cheers mate,
Sam :)
hi sam ive looked on you tube for the freightliner crane for contaners
Hi Alfie, thanks for the comment - any luck finding them?? :)
Cheers,
Sam :)
no i haven't can you do one
There's something about triang locos that look different from the rest I think it's the big side rods and old looking wheels also maybe cheap looking plastic
haha yeah that's right - these were a bit primitive like that!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
great video mate !
Thanks so much - glad you enjoyed it!
Cheers,
Sam :)
Sam'sTrains, I did enjoy it and you do make excellent videos, I do love this be green liveried scotsman
SAM SAM!! The Flying Scotsman is already been rebuilt in war time black and it’s back today 2019 it’s back on its own tracks in service again can you make a video of you riding the train
It certainly is - it's a great thing that they fixed her! I'd love to ride one day! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
What about the Hornby railroad Flying Scotsman?
Yeah, that one's a bit more detailed and modern! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
again great work sam! I think I saw a B12,A4,J50. and was that Black shunting engine the out one? (it looks like Jinty)
Hi mate, thanks a lot for that - excellent train spotting! Yes the 3F was the odd one out, being from the LMS! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
so is that Jinty?
@@oliverthegreatwesternengin8029 yes
It was LMS 3F
Thanks again for your comment Will! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
that days when Scotsman's trailing wheels still had flanges XD
Can you do a USA tour Flying Scotsman?
I'd love to one day John! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
But Gorden (from Thomas and freinds) is an A3 also so now there's 2
haha that's true - but I've never seen Gordon in the flesh - I'm not convinced he's really out there :(
Happy New Year,
Sam :)
try review the 9f evening star
Hi! I have done that one, here's the link:
th-cam.com/video/W7UFPJODEF0/w-d-xo.html
All the best,
Sam :)
Odd one out was the Jinty?
Well spotted again Sans! :D
apple green
That's your favourite?? Good choice! :D
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
I have a Scotsman like that but in LNER green
Very nice!! That one's definitely the classic! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
its missing those aerodynamic plate things on the front
haha yeah! This one doesn't have smoke deflectors! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
ohhhhh so they deflect smoke...i thought they gave a little bit of aero dynamic edge
Do the hornby a1 br blue verson it exist
Btw 9:44 wheel slip
It does exist - I'd love to try one! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
10:22 Jinty (Fowler 3F)
Yes, the 3F! I don't show that one very much! :D
I never really thought Tri-ang would make a decent Scotsman, I've only seen themmake the Rocket though lol.
haha thanks for the comment! Yeah their rocket was pretty impressive though - especially for the time! I was pretty pleased with this one anyway! :D
All the best,
Sam :)
If you don't mind me asking.. Are you in the UK? And if so, where can I get a good OO Gauge Rocket?
I can never seem to find one.
It's a shame that all three of Flying Scotsman's owners have died. Tony Marchington died in October 2011, Alan Pegler died four months later, and William McAlpine died in March 2018. May they R.I.P.
Yeah it is a shame - oh well, let's look to the future!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Do you know where in the USA I can get a tts sound loco at? I want one so BAD!☺️🚂
Hmmm, your best bet is to email Hatton's, and find out whether they can ship one to the US for you! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
What a smooth performer despite its age. Are the LNER ones also Triang?
Hi Jeff, I know - I just love the way these locos run! The LNER ones are close to identical, though technically they were released after the company became Hornby, or tri-ang/Hornby - but yes, the same thing!
Cheers,
Sam :)
Can I ask how do u combat the problem with the triang wheels as our ones seem to catch on points
Hi Sam - firstly I try to buy later models (with the non-solid wheels), which were produced with smaller flanges. Also - it is possible to grind the larger flanges down, so that they don't catch on the points!
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
theres something about this engine maybe the paint even though i'm not a fan of BR green
Thanks for the comment! Yeah I agree with you mate - definitely something about this one!
Cheers,
Sam :)
Do a day with Gresley pacifics
Hi! That's a great idea! The only issue is, there were only a few Gresley pacifics - so I'd probably have to double up quite a lot!
Cheers,
Sam :)
I like the 4472 one
Me too - that's the classic! :D
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
10:20 i dont think you got me there sam.
haha! ;D
does it work on modern hornby tracks
Hi Mark, yes mate - these work perfectly on modern Hornby track, or anything similar - as long as it's not too finescale!
All the best,
Sam :)
thank you Sam I'm going to get a old triang corenation class
Nice video.
Thank you!! :D
Hornby need to make a railroad version of this
They do! Their Railroad version is even more detailed than this too! ;D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
@@SamsTrains Like a BR green version in railroad
Can you do another train review of the toy train Union of South Africa form hornby please
Hi Thomas - if I ever get that one, then yes I will! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Thanks man
If you could drive a train which engine will it be?
I actually did get to drive one - I drove the 9F! :D
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
That good I want to drive a 14xx and auto coach
A3 or P2 (for top speed which is the better model)
i'd pick the P2 because it can haul more coaches and would go fast even with the weight
Hmmm, I'd say the A3s are probably a bit quicker - but the P2 is definitely the more powerful! :3
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
nice model
Thanks! :D
Sam can you make another Q and A vid
Because I have a question
Have you reviewed all of your locos and rolling stock?
Hey Ben! I can do Q&As during live streams if you have any questions! Yes I've reviewed most of them, but I do have some new stuff that I'm still waiting to show! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
