Is it a coincidence that “Diesel” and “Duck” are in the same set lol.
yup. An BR08 and Pannier can't be a coincidence.
That is what I think every time I see this set.
@Xx90GAMEMasterDBZxX same class
PULL! PUSH! BACKWARDS! FORWARDS!
SK Productions Trucks: Ohhhh...eeeee! Ohhhhh....eeee! We can’t, we won’t!
Its great value , two DCC locomotives, a loop with a switch
Seriously this is the perfect way to get people into model railways.
haha I agree - great value!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Yes I going to get this set
I just got a bachmann ready to run some straights curves and switches....I could make a double loop that's it
I know have two track expansion sets

"Tippler" isn't a typo. I have a Bachmann 16t Iron Wagon with the same spelling. It means a wagon that is unloaded by being tipped on it's side
Yeah you're right - it is a real thing! xD
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I don’t have any kind of trains that’s cool
@@nascar5543 Me too.
Stacks of track, no trains...
@@bingola45 buy one of ebay for around 20-40£
@@MaidensFN also make sure you get the right gauge
that is quite impressive!
Thanks Larry - I thought it was a great set for the price!! :D
Obligatory "Hello you!"
Hi Larry, didn't know you were a model railway kind of guy too.
Do you have to have doc points for Eccles or can you just use the hornby poins
Sorry for the Spelling
I've always had my eye on this set, even before it became DCC I believe there was another set similar years ago, my only gripe and it is minimal is when I see the title "Mixed Goods" I expect to see at least 1 passenger coach to be a true Mixed Goods set. Great review, if funds were better I'd get it.
Even though I am modeller for model railway for 4-5 years, I still use a rerailer to get my trains on the track when I put one on. I got the rerailer 1 year ago.
You absolute fool! You don't realize how much this video makes me love trains once again.
haha sorry about that!! ;D
As always loved the review, does seem like an ideal set to introduce beginners to DCC even though it's not high on detail, but to be fair that's not a bad thing as it's something that is durable enough that wouldn't mind the rough handling of a newbie.
Also a side note, have finished fixing my O Gauge Terrier! Now to find space to run it...

Thanks very much James - yes it's great for beginners really! That sounds amazing - hope you have fun! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I've waited ages to see a review of it from you thanks for doing 1.
Thanks so much Robin, no problem! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I bought this set a week before you reviewed it! I think the value is pretty good and after having shopped around and priced up individual items, it is definitely the best introduction to digital.
Thanks a lot mate! Ahh fantastic - it definitely is good for the money! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Wish I'd started with that set. I have just got the select as my first dcc. A lot of people dont rate it but I think it's perfectly acceptable for the price, especially since the latest firmware allows you to tweek CVs. Great review.
haha yeah me too actually - I quite like it now that it's been updated! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Just started watching your videos. Really informative and easy watching. Keep up the good work mate. Subscribed.
Great to hear that Geoff, thanks very much!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
This is the set I bought to kick start my new hobby. Interesting to hear your opinions. Mine get stuck on points all the time as well.
Glad to hear that! Yes the stopping on the points is very annoying :(
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
OMG I have always wanted that set you can’t have a rail way with out a O8 or a pannier tank nice review Sam loving the vids keep up the amazing work I thank you for getting me back in to trains and my trains would love to thank you for getting them out of a dark box lol my O8 packed up it was quite old but I was so annoyed but for £20 I saw two pannier tanks so I brought them but for the price I knew they would not run right and yep they are so ruff I tryed fixing them but with out spending a lot of money on them they would not work but when they sit in the siding they look amazing. Love the vids Sam Michaels trains
Thanks Michael, yeah that's very true actually! Thanks a lot for the kind words, really glad you liked it! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Great video Sam. Wow what a train set. Imagine seeing that under the tree on Christmas day. Incredible.
Thanks very much Stewart - I know right!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
thanks for uploading sam was quite down today and you made my day
Glad to hear that mate, hope you're doing okay!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
you are my inspiration to get my first Hornby train set
OOh great to hear that - hope you enjoy!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I like the packaging. Environmentally friendly.
Yes that's very true!!
Thanks for posting this review Sam. Your channel is fantastic and full of very helpful content, so glad I found it!
Thanks so much Bob, that's lovely to hear! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I was really considering buying this thank you so much for this review sam
Thanks Ryan - hope you enjoy it if you decide to get it! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
26:02 It's nice to see a bit of a shunting challenge going on with the 08 Shunter and Pannier Tank! :P
Thanks mate - glad you enjoyed that!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Nice setup they’re managed to get a blue rapier coach earlier hornby discontinues now! 209 pound seems a bit much for s few doubters but suppose it’s the dcc
Thanks very much! Ahh not too bad at all! Yes the DCC accounts for much of the cost!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Like always great video Sam and I hope you can get more greatly priced sets like this
Thanks very much Kadie - I hope so too! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I got mine for £119!! And that was on the Hornby site
Well, i see you are cashing on the whole train set reviews, seems like good value to me.
Thanks mate, yeah the value was amazing on this one! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
@@SamsTrains why don't you work for the railroad

For the Diesel: Maybe it is just the Color but the old Version Looks much nicer and not as cheap as this Version.
This is a really nice set for dcc beginners. I remember this from 10 years back with the jinty instead of the pannier.
Thanks mate, yeah you're absolutely right!! :D
glad iv seen you do a review on this was going to buy if for my boys first set
Thanks Marcus - yeah I can recommend this one! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Shame it's been discontinued! This is exactly what I've been looking for as a starter set.
Five words: Duck and the Diesel Engine
I purchased I very similar set a few years back with a br green 08 and a br 3f, they are pretty good value. I don't use the locos too often as for me they sometimes cut out - especially over the points. I also ended upgrading to the NCE Powercab for better use with my sound locos. At the end of the day it got me in to DCC which is what I wanted 😀👍
Ahh very nice! Yes they do often cut out if the pickups aren't adjusted right - not very reliable! These were okay though, compared with some I've experienced!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
FANTASTIC! (Sam, sorry I keep commenting on older videos, but, as I am new to you, I'm just watching the videos as TH-cam 'throws them up.' However, they are all very enjoyable. Thank you VERY MUCH).
Hello sam, i hope you’re having a good day, Happily ~ Me :D
I hope you are too mate - thank you! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
Amazing review on the Hornby Mixed Traffic train set! :D
I find it cool that this train set includes 2 locomotives rather than just 1, we don't see that very often! The price seems pretty reasonable in terms of what you get inside the box, £200 is quite a lot of money to spend, but something like this is definitely worth the money! I can imagine a beginner having lots of fun with this train set! :)
Thanks very much - yeah I love the fact that it has two trains! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Great find Sam! That detailing looks amazing! 👏🏽
Thanks very much mate - it's definitely not too bad! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
An amazing videos Sam. An amazing set of locomotives and rolling stock. Can not wait to see more videos like this about. Hope you enjoy your new locomotives. Take care of yourself
Thanks a lot Luke! You too mate! :D

Wow, excellent review of this amazing & fantastic train set from Hornby Sam 👍👍
I kind of like the DCC workings on train sets as well model railways as you can ran one of the two locomotives on the same track and that is something that I like to do in the near future.
Thanks very much Joe - really glad you like it! Yeah I find it great fun too! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I got this as my first hands-on experience with model trains last Christmas :) Hadn't realised how much value was in it, I had to go digital of course. I enjoy using it and its contents a lot, but glad I'm not alone with the cutting out issues :/
Ahh fantastic - yes it's so much fun! Yes the cutting out is a pain!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
10:40 that ACME tanker seems a bit “Looney” to me.. ;)
+DoncasterA1Music When I was a kid, ERTL (who also made their own line of Thomas toys) also made a line of Looney Tunes train cars. Each one had one of the characters riding in them, and Yosemite Sam rode an oil tanker.
haha yeah they are a bit - good fun though! :D
Wile E. Coyote is the main customer for full ACME Kerosoene tankers.
The Pannier Tank and 08 Diesel Shunter reminds me of Duck and Diesel from Thomas & Friends.
Ooh nice - yeah me too!! :D
I LOVE this review its very good for beginners :) you are the best mate!
Thanks Matt, really glad you liked it! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Had mine turn up love it to bits and great way to get into dcc thank you for a great review of the set witch helped my desicion getting one. mine does the same as yours did with the pannier being less smooth and more noise and the 08 was amazing out the box but a good run in helped a lot maybe a strip and oil will help the noise but still love the set getting used to how the trains drive different!
Ahh great to hear that - hope you enjoy it mate! Yes that's very strange isn't it? A good run-in should help quite a lot too! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I wish it was DC. Also as a Thomas fan I feel the need to say that the engines in this set have Thomas counterparts .
Yeah - though I guess it'd be too difficult to control on DC! ;D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
It always annoys me when a clearly modeled "old style" freight set excludes the caboose/brake van.
Yeah I noticed that too. Kind of an odd exclusion.
Can I just say, when your SHUNTING trucks you don’t need a brake van
@@mot649 One of those engines is clearly intended to be the actual road carrier the shunter is gathering cars for though.
Yes you're right - a nice brake would have been a good inclusion!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Love this set! Great vid Sam!
Thanks a lot Tony, appreciate it! :D
A wonderful presentation from Hornby, and what appears to be great value for money Sam for someone starting in the Hobby...Good Robust starter kit....Another great review...Bob
Thanks a lot Robert, yeah definitely - I'd've been happy starting off with this! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Sam, my mum said it’s good enough, would you recommend this set for *the c word*.
Yeah sure! If you want DCC, this is a good way to start! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
What do you mean by the c word

Hi Sam Great video and I want to thank you for one of your review. they helped me pick the correct train set and that set was the Hornby Caledonian Belle. Thanks for replying to my comments!! hope you are doing well...... Liam
Thanks very much Liam, that's a pleasure mate! Hope you liked the set you got! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
bought this set a month ago for my 50th birthday also for during lockdown.used to have a train 40 years ago so a long time away.made a layout in the garage to get out of the house. on the whole a reliable set
Ahh fantastic Alan - glad to hear you're getting on well! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
That is amazing! Will try to get one for my layout.
Thank you! I can highly recommend it! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Thanks for this Sam, brilliant as usual. I am building a 8'6" x 4'6" layout for my 5 year old train mad little dude. Yup, it's a bargain, I worked it out too so I am getting this thanks to you confirming that it is a good kit. Great minds think alike. I am going to expand it by buying track and points on Ebay to make something close to the overpriced £700 Hornby layout HL6 (but stretched). My little dude has seen a few of your videos, he saw the Q1 and that is what he wants for Christmas, it's his favourite at NRM. Cheers dude, keep up the great work.
Thanks very much mate - oh wow that sounds awesome! Hope you have a great time with the build! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I might have said this already but I saw on ebay a massive Hornby train set from the mid 2000s i think. It was DCC and had 2 loops of track, one inside the other, and a couple sidings. It also came with 2 locos
Not a bad set for an introduction to DCC. I’ve now made some steps to DCC myself, 15 locomotives chipped and another 9 made ready by putting an 8 pin socket in them. Got quite a neat controller as well which is shared between both my OO and N gauge layouts now, it’s a Sig-naTrak ace 2.
Thanks a lot Rob - wow sounds like you've been busy - all the best with it mate! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Great review so exited to see this as been looking at this set to be my way into dcc on my main layout and would give me a small track i can keep to one side to practice programme and run in locos ets away from the main setup really looking forwad to getting this set in the future! On a diff note have made my first pre order and ordered the hornby ltd edition 9f they are bringing out so thanks for the reviews on the 9fs too keep safe!!!!!
Thanks a lot Kevin - ooh that sounds awesome, hope you enjoy it if you get one! OOh yeah those look lovely for sure! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Well after I had seen this train set, surely I will buy it,thank you Sam for work done:)
Ooh awesome - hope you enjoy it if you do! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Finally. I’ve been waiting for this review to come out. I have saved some money and I want to see your thoughts. Thanks.
Thanks so much! Hope you enjoy it! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Mate I love your videos, they are good for beginners and for experienced modelers alike.
Thanks so much - that's lovely to hear! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Hi Sam, I bought this set a few weeks ago based on your review and had exactly the same experience as you, namely the Pannier was a bit of a lemon OOTB. After running in there was some improvement but it still stalls like crazy over Peco Insulfrog points, it also emits a very high-pitched whine! The 08 is better but again stalls at slow speeds. It could be that DCC seems to need all parts of the track to be live (from what I've read on the forums, etc). For locos with supposedly the same mechanism the 08 runs faster than the Pannier, on tests while running in the 08 caught up (and coupled!) to the Pannier. Having said all that, couldn't agree more that this is simply SOOO much fun to play with!!!
Sorry to hear that Steve - yes the stalling on points is the only thing I could complain about - take a look at my video on servicing the Hornby Thomas - you can remove the wheels and adjust the pickups!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Hi Sam, congratulations on Hornby giving you this to review. I hope this is but the beginning of a great working relationship between company and reviewer. Stay well and best wishes from Australia, Benjamin
Thanks mate, yes I agree! Many thanks for all the support! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Nice review. I think new comers to the hobby are more interested in getting something that is reliable and can be up and running straight away than being worried about realism detail. Realism and detail come a bit later when you become are a 'bit more serious' in the hobby. I still like the starter sets myself probably because 'nostalgic.'. You have to start somewhere.
Just after birthday had enough so ordered this set cant wait for it to turn up to start getting to dcc super exited!!!!
Ahh fantastic - really hope you enjoy it!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I bought this sometime back in 2013. That time the steam loco was a Jinty and the wagons were different. Still the same amount of fun though! I remember that the Jinty had some loose parts (like the brake hose at the front and back) that I had to glue on. Otherwise no other separately fitted details. It came with a driver and fireman but no rerailer. :D
Good review, cheers Sam!
Yes I've heard they did a Jinty version too - definitely the same amount of fun! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Nice review. Hornby comes in strong. Useful to see how it reacts to points. I've been reluctant to get back into DCC, but this demonstration has me thinking twice.
Thanks a lot - yeah these do struggle on points; larger locos handle them better. The pickups do seem to be dodgy on these railroad 0-6-0s from Hornby - always have been!
Happy New Year - Sam :)
It's always better to put your new trains from set on your old track , except if you don't have it ... you mixed your wagons with new trains and it looks amazing! Great video!
Yeah I'd agree with you there! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Hi Sam, yes tippler is the correct name for that type of wagon. If you look at the tippler wagon, you will see that it doesn't have any doors for unloading. They are run into a "Tippler" machine, which locks them to the track, so that they don't come off whilst they are rotated up-side-down, on the longitudinal plane, to dump the contents out, then back upright so they may be taken away empty. DCC really comes into its own with sound systems in the locos. My "0" gauge layout is DCC controlled with two pannier tanks, one with an auto coach, an "08" and an "AC Railbus," all sound fitted. I can have the two panniers simmering away, with the auto coach lights on and passengers chattering away, the 08 ticking over in a siding whilst the railbus is arriving at, or leaving the station, or many other combinations. Another good video. Regards, Alan.
Thanks Alan - yes I looked it up after I'd finished filming - thanks for the info!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Hey Sam nice video, Pannier Tanks are probably my favourite locomotives in real life and in model form. It seems like an amazing train set which I would like to get!
Thanks a lot Tomos - great to hear that, I love those too! :D

Sam, I'm actually surprised that you haven't had DCC all along! 😲 SO many advantages! Most of which, the RIGHT Decoder (chip in UK) can make even a substandard Motor run quite well. I've fitted a TCS DCC Decoder on a basic Bachmann Diesel, and it will CRAWL at sleeper counting speed for days!! 😎😁
Running multiple Locos is only one advantage. I've been a happy DCC convert since 2009. 😉
Please stay SAFE! 😷

I have had DCC for years - quite a few of my locos have it! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
i bought one of these mixed goods DCC sets way back in about 05/06, it had the 08 and a jinty then, I eventually got the entire set of track extension packs and a couple more DCC locos, however due to not really having the space for a layout that size I mothballed everything in about 2010, while I've been on lockdown i have been trying to sort out some space in my garage/workshop with the idea of eventually getting back to rail modelling.
Ahh fantastic - I hope you can get back into things mate, all the best with it! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I was already eyeing this set for awhile now, but after seeing what the controller can do, I think you have convinced me to buy it at some point when I can afford it.
Ahh awesome - hope you enjoy it if you do!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Good day Sam . I have the mixed freight set which is very similar but just as much fun . DCC Is fab apart from the cost of more locos!!
Thoroughly enjoyed this video. Take care and stay safe.
Very nice Scott - yes I agree, the price is a downside, but you do get a lot of extra functionality! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
For getting a kid into the hobby or just something to play with, this is a lot better then some of the other sets I have seen. Many more options for play and learning then having just a circle with one locomotive running around, and around, and around...
Yes I agree Colin - definitely true!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
this is the same set I started back into the hobby with except mine had the j83 loco 8 yrs later these two loco are still going strong.
Ooh very nice Mark - those J83s are lovely! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Cool sam, great for someone starting a digital set👍
Thanks a lot Ciaran! :D
I have an older version and I can confirm that the o8 runs better than what appears to be a E2 jinty hybrid
I bought one of these sets back in december as a Christmas gift for myself, and I modified the cab of the pannier to make it look like a regular 57xx (I cant find a Bachmann Branchline or mainline version for a decent price) I then printed out new number plates (5741) and gave it a face (Used and broken Bachmann Duck, with the eyes glued in and filed down on the back) (half the cab was gone, 2 of the 6 wheels were missing and the Funnel was broken 2/3rd's of the way down. I think its a mericle that the face and eye mechanism stayed intact.) The end result was a custom RWS Duck model (I made the face removable with stickey tack, to stick with the theme of my engines not having faces, as if they were real locomotives made into models) I unfortunately had to decode the model ,(which took much longer then I was hoping) because, I'm a traditional analouge kind-of guy when it comes to Model railways, but it runs great and im looking for a Bachmann Pannier chassis to replace the old chassis that is aready on the model. Other then that, Duck is done for the time being.
Gonna have to go for the 08 on the poll because I have been in the cab of two of them. Probably my favourite diesel shunter behind the class 06.
Ahh good choice - lucky you!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I had something very similar to this from LGB as my introduction to model railroading
Ooh interesting! You can't go wrong! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Back when I had a train set in the 90's I had a diesel just like that, only light green. It was crazily fast (and loud) when running on it's own on full power. My friend's dad had a layout with a long shelf round the outside of two sides of his garage with tracks outside. I always wanted to hold races round it, but we never did.
It could well be the same thing - Hornby have produced those 08s for years and years!! :O
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Excellent value for money I think..Good one Sam, nice review.
Thanks very much Tim - glad you liked it! :D
Another excellent informative video, Thank you.
Thanks so much Peter, appreciate it!

Planning on getting this once I save up enough after lockdown.
Ooh nice - hope you enjoy it mate! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Its on my list too.
@@SamsTrains Forgot to mention it's neat that they've ditched the polystyrene, that material's always been a nuisance on my ears.
I like the livery on the Class 08 included in this train set. That's a nice shade of red, that has been used.
Yeah me too Jacob!! :D
I remember when I was a kid I got the "North Eastern Steam Set". had two circuits with a crossover, double level crossing & two sidings. buildings for sound effects & two radio controls. Two trains, one lovely little passenger train with two cars(I thought it looked gorgeous), then a small freight train with two wagons & a caboose. Loved that thing. Think it was £160 back then but I may be mistaken. Pretty sure its back in my Mum's garage.
That sounds amazing Alex - if only they did sets with two circuits these days - so much more fun!!
Happy New Year - Sam :)
The br class 08 is one of my favorite diesels also I the video gas great and i enjoyed the video sam👍🏻
What a great video!
Your replies always make my day!
Thank you!! :D
A great introduction to DCC. Well done Hornby. The 08 would look much better in a more 'subdued' livery though. Many thanks Sam, enjoyed that.
Thanks very much Mike! Yes I agree - maybe it was designed to appeal to kids, with the bright colours??
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Great info for a Newbie, Thx for your efforts. Good Video.
Thx. Kim in Oz 😎
Thanks very much Kim! :D
Good vid sam, I have the previous version of this which included a Jinty and an 08.
Ooh I love the sound of a Jinty too - fantastic! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Sam'sTrains i like the look of the pannier.
I saw that at a hobbycraft once, it is great and I plan on buying it soon
Ooh nice - I can recommend it! :D
that steam loco: ideal subject for some first adventurers in painting !! there's bits n pieces on top and under the boiler, which could easily be picked out with a small brush, and handrails an ting around the cab, as well as boiler-back details. i reckon you could bling this to the max for less than a tenner, along with a couple of hours careful work. and if it all goes wrong it's not like you lost a load of money. those wagons look cert for some weathering experiments too. so here's my suggestion for a new category 'BLINGABLE'
Thanks a lot Raymond - yes indeed, a lovely project for sure!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Another good review from you, Sam! £209 seems cheap compared to Lego's flagship Technic set, which on release last year was £450, though it is a little cheaper now, but still more expensive than that train set at £399. So for what you get in the train set, it does look to be good value for money and two locomotives is definitely a big plus!
Thanks very much! Yes it certainly is - particularly given the fact that this is digital! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
It's an interesting train set comes with the steam engine and a diesel engine that's cool there used to be a Bachmann train set I Used to Know of when they came out with their EZ command control and it came with two locomotives but they were mostly diesels
Thanks a lot mate - ooh very interesting - I'll have to look into some of those sets! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Yet another great review! Overall, This seems like an INCREDIBLY good value for those who want to get into DCC. You get both a steam and a diesel locomotive, a decent amount of rolling stock ( though to be honest, I would've added at least 2 additional pieces of rolling stock to give each locomotive 3 cars each to haul), a decent amount of track, and a solid DCC system. Do you plan to purchase this set later?
Thanks a lot Jonah, yeah I thought so too - yes bigger trains would have been more fun! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
now I gotta go fit all my locos with DCC or HM7000 it looks like much fun.
Awesome video today Sam and what a awesome train set the locomotives reminded me of duck and diseal lol
Thanks a lot James, haha yeah me too!! :D
Sam'sTrains lol
I have an older version of this set with the Jinty in BR black and the 08 in BR green. Very nice set even though they hate points!
Ahh fantastic - yeah they do seem to hate points!!
