Now I simply cannot wait until the whole 'package' is complete and I can have this sent to me. Your review has really reassured me and got me excited for mine - cheers!

    Once upon a wooden table, a young man named Tat had laid down a single oval of 00 gauge track. The table was one of those that folded up neatly when not in use. The fellow was named Tat to stand for tried and tested. However, there was one thing wrong with the table: the middle part had rotted away completely due to suffering wear and tear from the outside elements.
    Tat asked his Father, who was a carpenter by trade, if he had something of a sturdy shelf about him.
    "Here's one I made earlier," Father quoted happily. "This should do the trick." Father and Son carefully fitted the shelf for size. It was several centimetres too long. The middle-aged man took the shelf into his workshop at the back of the house, and sawed it exactly in half. It made for two sturdy suspension bridges. The two halves fitted on either side perfectly. Tat was very grateful.
    "Thanks, Dad. What would I do without you?" Father winked.
    "Just be careful when playing with trains," he advised smiling. "Don't want a railway disaster now, do we?" Tat agreed, laughing with the joke. His Father was always joking.
    One week later, Father and Son were playing trains together. Unfortunately, Tat had forgotten that water and electricity don't mix. He put his water bottle down on the table, and played with trains a bit too fast.
    "Bother," he sighed. "Should have been more careful." A loud explosion erupted, but nothing sustained damage. Except for the shelf halves, that is. They splintered and snapped in two, leaving a tightrope gap on each side. Not good.
    Father and Son played trains once more, yet the tight-roped track couldn't take the weight. SNAP! CRASH! The track, sturdy as it usually was, broke. A Tiny Terrier Tank Engine and six coal wagons, plus an LNER Guard's Van, smashed themselves to smithereens on the wooden floorboards. Tat was in tears.
    "Don't worry," Father assured him. "It was my fault for not reminding you. Accidents happen." The middle-aged man paid all damage fees and was given a refund. Play began anew. That was how Tat liked it.

    • @SamsTrains

    Ever since I saw your video on the OO gauge Sentinel, I was always intrigued by these Sentinel locomotives. I even made my own Thomas and Friends character that is a blue Sentinel engine (but lacking the wasp stripes). I might get this version someday and turn it into said fanmade Thomas character, along with some wagons and 2-rail O gauge track.

    Since you are having issues with the Dapol couplings, I suggest you get in touch with an 0 gauge club and ask them what coupling chains they use. You might even be able to get in touch with an OEM like Heljan and order a box of their couplings to replace the Dapol ones.

    So with decoder i can estimate the price round about 800 ish included dcc decoder.

    Oh, that's beautiful. I think that the real vehicle was built like the Sentinel road waggons, with the boiler at the front, making the flat end of this the front - although being a shunter, it doesn't really matter which direction it runs in. I can't get over how much better it is than the 'OO' version. I'll say it again: Beautiful. Thanks for sharing!

    @ecpcharles 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice engine! I do find it amusing that you find value from material and size. While metal castings and size of engine does add to the cost of production, MOST of the cost of an engine comes from how much demand the manufacturer estimates for a model, and the 3d modeling/rendering of the model. So the O scale model, while being larger, shouldnt have a huge price difference than the HO model, since they already have the 3d models, which can just be enlarged and slightly modified. The fact that it is 8x larger doesnt scale as far as price point goes.
    Its also why Bachmann engines cost is outrageous sometimes, since they didnt expect demand to be as high for certain engines, so they have to raise the price to cover the additional tooling costs.
    Lastly, it does explain why sometimes, the "streamlined" model with LESS detail costs just as much as the non streamlined engines. Because demand is sometimes lower.
    Enjoyable video as always!

    • @SamsTrains
      @SamsTrains  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah I suppose you're right, but the increase in scale here also leads to an increase in detail and number of separately fitted parts... and the evidence for this is all over this model! The amount of assembly involved in this must have been insane, and for the price I thought that was very impressive!

    Two things:
    1: I must say I really like the Sentinel because of its odd shape - it looks like if someone made a steam loco in Minecraft, but also built it backwards (since the boiler is in the cab, and I used to think what is actually likely a pipe for water to be fed into looked like a chimney). Plus it's a shunter, and steam locos used for shunting often just look really cool.
    2: I think the flickering firebox is just a standard thing on Dapol models, as I bought a OO LSWR B4 the other week and it also has an LED firebox.
    If I had an O-gauge collection and plans for an O-gauge line, then I would totes get this. It's really cool and seems to perform perfectly. 'Tis a shame the Model Rail one sucks (and the Sentinels of this design were LNER and LMS, so I probs wouldn't get one anyway).
