Just discovered your videos. I have recently retired and bought alot of Poole produced models which are in need of TLC. They are really easy to rebuild and parts are usually available. They pull well and are good value for money. One easy trick to improve the look of the wheels is to run a black mermanent marker around the front of the wheel rims. Also some glass in the front window using liquid glass products. Of course weathering powders can enhance detail also - all easy to do. Really enjoying your reviews thank you!
I watched most of your videos and I was impressed by how you manage to squeeze information onto a 5 minute video. I am very happy if you review the SR Q1 N gauge model.
Hello dows. I’m a beginner to the hobby I’ve looked at 00 and even bought some rolling stock , station etc I always went to the seller and bought quality at reasonable prices ? But the more I watch N gauge the more it appeals to me so please can you advice : should a beginner purchase new or pre owned I’ve looked at 2 very well known stores and they keep me regularly updated with the pre owned stock for sale I’ve seen some at £132 and some at just over £40 but these cheaper ones all clearly say wobbly/ poor runner and some even have parts missing ? I do like the Graham Farish steam locomotives and it’s my intention to build a layout about 8’x3’ so my questions are. 1. if I was to see these locomotives before I buy them can I purchase any missing parts direct from Graham Farish ? 2 what causes a N gauge locomotive to become a poor runner and can this be corrected ? 3 should I purchase new n gauge 🤔. if I could purchase pre owned and in good condition I would prefer it and if I can save a few pounds this can be put towards the cost of my layout . 4 and last question what is the size of your layout as I do like it 👍. Any help or advice will be very much appreciated. I have liked and subscribed to your channel. Paul
I think that's a good model for the price. You can sometimes get cheaper if you get extremely lucky or spend a lot of time searching, but it's still a lottery whether or not you get one that'll run reliably.
Seems to be running ok for an old model, I think of these as the N gauge equivalent of old Hornby Dublo or Wrenn heavy metal-bodied locos. Like some of your other reviewed purchases I think you're paying too much for old unboxed locos though.
have a look at elaines trains n gauge or dave angel trains n gauge good prices elaine has a number of boxed exellent condition locos and coaches and wagons etc l just got duchess city of leeds br green bachmann farish as new £70 +£4 postage worth a look well described and she is very reliable
