@@OONeal I'm sure you are! I bet if you wanted to flip that you'd get at least 4x the money you spent on it. They clearly didn't know what they were selling 👀
What a fantastic find, all those look as though they’ll run fine with a bit of tlc. Must admit I thought you were a bit ambitious setting the track up as you did, especially with the points, I would have set the train set oval up for test purposes. The Oxford Janus shunters are great locomotives, shame the handrails are all missing but for £25 with all the other stuff you can’t complain. Have fun fixing it all up, cheers Rob.
If you need any help to get them all running check out "OOBill" on youtube. His channel is all about bringing dead models back to life, his work is fantastic. Films the entire process from start to finish. Works on both his models and his subscribers.
What an absolute treasure trove you've got there Tris! Some real potential in some of those items, and I imagine we'll see lots of the buildings appear on the loft layout?
Definitely some gems in there and it's good that you saved them. It sort of looks like they were 'played' with by a small child who managed to get hold of the paint cans 😄
You lucky ****** That's an amazing find. Even without all those locos, it would still be a bargain. I'm glad to see it's in the hands of someone that can appreciate it and restore some of the dodgy items to give them a new life.
A bout the Janus it is also missing its front and rear hand rails but you could pain some of the small coaches and wagons in to the BP blue to make it a train
Great haul, very jealous! We just don't have the spare/used stock over here in New Zealand - a like-for-like haul for us would cost about a grand plus postage!
That was a very lucky find and at a bargain price. If you do decide to give some away I would be very interested in the LNER 0-4-0 as my layout with be a fictitious part of the East Coast Main Line I do have a UK postal address. Martin (Thailand)
Wow amazing tris £25 what a bargain shame about the flying scotsman and the deltic but I'm sure with the engineer background knowledge you have you could get them sorted and give them another running life. Still watching the video be interested to see if they work on the little set up you built.
Instead of selling the set, why not use as a basis to make a new layout to show just what can be done using just the contents...but adding full scenery?
Tris, super bargain! Got one couple of years ago, 1/48 scale B25 bomber, $4.50 CAD! Open box, lot of extras, total value just over $200 CAD. Finds like this are rare. Got in in a second hand shop..
Now that's a box of treasure I'd like to find on sale near me! I dare say I speak for many folks there. Okay there are a lot of 0-4-0 'Rockets there but the rest of the stock and buildings, never mind the track, you got your moneys worth there for sure. I'll look forward to videos on what you do with them, as will many folks, no doubt! I hope you get the little Smokey Joe running and it isn't smokey on the track! Nice one and thanks for sharing it with us. Much appreciated. Keep safe and well, sir. Cheers!
Ha ha yes I hope I get no smoke from them. Yes I’d like to put some time into them. First I need some time 😁 I’m glad you enjoyed engaging with the video 😊 take care
Ahhh man, I thought we got a bargain with the wch set for £45!! Lol... Have you been able to open up the pug logo? I'm having lots of trouble. I've an odd 90s LMS pug and it's so easy
@@OONeal managed it. The Chinese built one needed unscrewing at the front, and then a little shimmy on the tabs behind the pistons. The British built didn't have the screw... I soon discovered that the purpose for the screw is actually to deal with the fact it's impossible to open these and keep the clips from breaking ;)
Some of the 0-4-0Ts are named after the prog rock band Marillion, Singer (Steve) Hogarth Stone and Guitarist (Steve) Rothery Industries. This has been quite common with Hornby, others sets of theirs include locos and wagons named after King Crimson and Porcupine Tree members. A designer at Hornby must love their prog rock!
will we see a video of you trying to repair that flying scotsman
i think it would be interesting
Yes I have been wondering how to approach it so will look out for some spares for it.
£25. Absolute bargain. 😊😊😊😊😊, most locos can be brought back. A bit of tlc. Obviously been heavily played with by children. But still a bargain.
definately Its something I am looking forward to alot.
Just shows how much fun a little collection of oddities can provide. I look forward to seeing some of your restorations of these items 🙂
Absolutely mental that all that was only £25! Some potentially very interesting future projects there...
It was, I’m still feeling very lucky after getting it all.

I didnt have enough room on the table for a loop so went with the siding fun. I am pleased with what I came across.
a single turnout costs $25.00 new so you basically got free trains with one turnout 😀
It looks that way
Some bloke has had his trains flogged off by a parent wanting to declutter.
If I had the room it would be nice but I don't have the storage space to do such a thing.
Maybe you could paint the blue/green one as a Port Talbot engine?
Thats a good possiblilty, I would like to make one of them a GWR loco even though that is ficticious I think it would be fun.

I have seen a few of his videos and they are very helpful but I will be able to restore them myself thank you for the recomendation though.
What an absolute treasure trove you've got there Tris! Some real potential in some of those items, and I imagine we'll see lots of the buildings appear on the loft layout?
Absolutely a treasure. Yes I think when time allows we will have some projects created from these restorations which should be good fun.
Whole lot of fun for 25 quid we'll done 😀
Thank you I am really pleased with it
What a Billy bargain. So glad you will treat it with the respect and reverence it deserves. Clearly someone's loved collection has found a good home.
I'm looking forward to restoring them and giving them a lease of life.
Definitely some gems in there and it's good that you saved them. It sort of looks like they were 'played' with by a small child who managed to get hold of the paint cans 😄
Yes they do don’t they, I’ll see what I can do to make them into a nice model again 😊
Yes you can convert that blue and green saddle tank to GWR colours as we had them in Plymouth, (running around the docks )
You lucky so and so . Envious.
😊
its a treasure, but definitely had a green paint spillage
Maybe you could repaint the half green Caledonian pug and Percy from Thomas the tank
Thats true, I have been wondering what to do.
Wow what an amazing haul. You have got yourself a bit of work there, but most of those locos are salvagable after a good clean.
Ive never ever ever seen model railway stuff for sale at the roadside! Unreal.
Certainly a bargain in these days of ridiculous prices....
You lucky ****** That's an amazing find.
Even without all those locos, it would still be a bargain.
I'm glad to see it's in the hands of someone that can appreciate it and restore some of the dodgy items to give them a new life.
Thanks 😉 yes I thought it was a train set and track and was pleased at just having that so am stoked to see what was inside
Very nice find. FYI Tarmacadam is commonly shortened to tarmac now, so it would have been a loco at a tarmac or cement plant.
A bout the Janus it is also missing its front and rear hand rails but you could pain some of the small coaches and wagons in to the BP blue to make it a train
That's a lot of stuff for 25 pounds :-D great video, as always 😊😊😊
Bargain Box!!
😊
'By the side of the road'? How does that work?! Not a car boot sale?
Awesome haul for what you paid! John
You got that right!
Every body needs a smoky Joe triss wot a bargain thankyou for the video
A very lucky find honestly, I think those green splattered caley pugs could be good BR black repaints to make into their real basis.
Yes I would like to paint them up in those liveries.
Great haul, very jealous! We just don't have the spare/used stock over here in New Zealand - a like-for-like haul for us would cost about a grand plus postage!
Yep, I feel your pain. Melbourne Australia here.
It’s a shame you don’t have the same opportunities of the hobby. I wish it was different for you.
Well done what a bargain for the price
Hi Tris, with your skill set that was an extraordinary find. Look forward to you bringing the back to life. Tris’s Repair Shop?
Thank you Kevin, I’ll have a play im sure I’ll get some of them working
That was a very lucky find and at a bargain price. If you do decide to give some away I would be very interested in the LNER 0-4-0 as my layout with be a fictitious part of the East Coast Main Line I do have a UK postal address. Martin (Thailand)
Hi Martin, I understand, for now I will be holding onto them as I have some friends with Children some of the items will go too.
Wow amazing tris £25 what a bargain shame about the flying scotsman and the deltic but I'm sure with the engineer background knowledge you have you could get them sorted and give them another running life. Still watching the video be interested to see if they work on the little set up you built.
I would like to fix the scottsman that will be a good project!
Instead of selling the set, why not use as a basis to make a new layout to show just what can be done using just the contents...but adding full scenery?
I don't have the room to build up a new layout but I was thinking of using some of the bits on a micro layout at some point.
Excellent find, should keep you in little projects, maybe some for your Nephew to cut his teeth on,Lol
Thats very true
Absolute bargain Tris. Well done.
Thanks I'm really pleased!
Wow that’s such a great find
Hi Tris, a cracking lot. Well worth twenty five pounds. You had a good buy there butty. All the best. Carl.
Indeed it was and I am really pleased to have been lucky enough to find it.
The west coast highlander train set was my first proper hornby set and it has grown quite a lot!
Thats excellent!
@@OONeal thank you!
Tris, super bargain! Got one couple of years ago, 1/48 scale B25 bomber, $4.50 CAD! Open box, lot of extras, total value just over $200 CAD. Finds like this are rare. Got in in a second hand shop..
Excellent! hopefully we find more bargains like this crop up from time to time.
That's quite the bargain! Is there any hope for that Railorad Flying Scotsman?
It is, I do hope I can fix it, I will look out for a new body and the valve gear in one piece will be great.
Wow, that is a very lucky find..right place at the right time.. Lottery ticket?? All the best Tris..Chris
Yes I think I should. I hope your ok Chris and keeping well?

Well Done so you got because you were in the right place right time
Indeed it was! 😊
wow man what a bargain find you got there, wish you well with getting them all running with a bit TLC.
I do hope so it will be fun having them all running nicely
Time to call OO Bill?
I don't think he has enough time for all these :)
Wow...what a find! Have you bought a lottery ticket? 😉
Now saying that I think maybe I should, this maybe as lucky as I get though lol
Wow what a brilliant find Tris. For 25 pounds what a bargain! Looking forward to seeing what you do with those in the future. - Nicholas.
It was and I am looking forward to working on the locos and bringing them to life
Certainly a decent haul. I can see all the Smokey Joe's et al. being turned into baby Prairies
Ha Ha I think I will restore one of them and not sure what to do with the other one but they will defiantely have some extra treatment.
What a GREAT find! Look forwrad to seeing what you do with it all :)
Thanks me too!
Ahhh, no hair! PS what a bargain! Nice find!
Hi John, I shaved it off to support my mother as she has cancer. Yes a fantastic find indeed
Great bargain.The small pullmans may be Wrenn?
Thank you I will check
I hope it wasn't stolen. Otherwise, what an amazing haul.
I picked it up from a house which was selling other family looking items.
Ahhh man, I thought we got a bargain with the wch set for £45!! Lol...
Have you been able to open up the pug logo? I'm having lots of trouble. I've an odd 90s LMS pug and it's so easy
Also, those 2 Pullman's cost us £10 on eBay themselves lol... Absolute bargain
I think they will all open up. They have there little ways to open them.
