- Another limited edition this set is really lovely with wonderful details on loco and coaches alike.
Take your seats for the Lyme Regis Billy.
Note I made a slight slip up at 6:39 with the locos age, they were in fact 77 years old in 1959

Your commentary, which almagates history and the locomotives. I like the gentle pace, which is good for the subject matter. Thank you. Patrick, Northamptonshire
Hi Patrick, that's really kind of you
As a child we used to be able to play and explore the old Lyme station for years until it was eventually dismantled. At the time we didn’t realise what a wonderful history we had just minutes away from our secondary school.
Hi John, that's lovely memories
Superb video Mike, definately looks like a brilliant railway set!
Really liked some of the shots taken, especially those representing other locomotives that worked the branch
Glad you enjoyed it
thanks! I enjoyed that and the 4-4-2T and its coaches were lovely. As a teenager I favoured the LSWR lines and Bullied Pacifics and the M7's that were available then. Now my layout is set in Kent but you've made that Radial tank a very tempting purchase!
Glad you enjoyed it, get one they are very nice
Again you have bought a model train pack back to life . Terrier no.8 Freshwater of the IWSR was LSWR 734 on this branch line .
Many thanks Robert, ah yes. I see Hornby plan to release the two from the branch in LSWR livery, so an order will be placed from me :)
Fascinating, a lovely trains pack and history. During these difficult times I have started to post some videos of my emerging layout on here, please have a look and offer any advice you can.
Many thanks! I have checked out some of your videos :)
Come on I want some N gauge ex LSWR suburban coaches! You 00s modellers get all the best stuff as poor old N gauge just get LNER steam, growlers or modern railway stuff
Lol
@@ModelRailwaysUnlimited thanks for reply seeing the locos brought back a childhood memory of travelling on that line on a caravan holiday in the nineteen fifties.
@@likklej8 wow, so glad to do this for you.
@@ModelRailwaysUnlimited Thanks a really for a good Model Railway video
.
Lovely vid Mike. Where do you store all yr stock when not running eg in rakes, cabinets etc? Thanks
Thanks very much Paul, lots of Really Useful 64L boxes and cupboards hahaahh
I like how you represented the lines stock. I live not far away from there. I used to work with a chap who was a passed fireman on the line until dieselization
Hi, wow how interesting, where did he end up?
@@ModelRailwaysUnlimited he was a clever guy who started as a tool maker before joining the southern region. He also worked the Seaton branch where in his breaks he got to know a local toy shop owner. A certain Mr Pritchard. That is how Roy worked on the first tooling for peco track !
Thank you Mike, some great history again. Amazing how those Adams Radial's lasted so long. So many lines that could have been very useful today were lost to Dr. Beeching's axe. Shame. Keep safe, David.
Thanks very much David, you are very right. Wish I'd not slipped up on their age in 1959 however, was thinking about when I saw 488
hi mike another beautifully narrated video really well put together outstanding stuff have a good week stay safe all the best al 😄👍👍👍👍
Thank you kindly
Great clip, Mike! Awesome work as always lad. Thoroughly enjoyed your video. Keep well. Cheers Caleb
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks very much indeed, keep well also :)
Great video Mike. I quite like the SR locos, yours seem to run very nicely. The curse of Bachmann split chassis and splitting nylon axles strikes again? I managed to fix mine with super glue, heat shrink and sanding with emery paper till it fit the axle bearing. And silicone grease. Goes quite well now, but not sure how long it will last. Thanks mate. Steven.
Hi Steven, many thanks glad you liked it. Good info there, take care Mike
Nice video and an interesting account of one of Britain's lost railways. Oh Mr Beeeching what did you do!
Cheers
Geoff
Glad you enjoyed it
Hi mike
Masterpiece
Love the history and old pictures you got
It a lovely set too
How does the adam tank compare with or one?
Keep safe arp
Thanks Adi :) this one is oddly not quite as smooth or strong as the 488 model I have, might just need a bit more running :)
A lovely history vid about a line one could imagine whimsical stories being written about. How do you find the hornby adams radials? Given hornbys rep of late, Im a little reticent, but they're very handsome
Thanks very much. Yes must have been a lovely route. I have had no issues with either of mine, there are some haulage tests on my channel also.
@@ModelRailwaysUnlimited haha, seems hornby do let them through the cracks every now and then
@@TheSaint491 hahah lol, their 700 is very good also and the new Merchant Navy's are really good
Shouldn't the coaches be green?
Hi, nope not in the time frame modeled. Also branch lines like this often had old un-cared for stock :)
Very informative.
Glad you liked it
Thank you for that - an interesting bit of history & yes, a great shame that it was lost....
Thanks Eddie, yes great shame
Brilliant video review :)
Thank you kindly!
Another brilliant video of a forgotten line, getting very informative with these train packs.
Many thanks! Kind of you to say
thanks for the informative video
Glad it was helpful!
Just watched this again Mike , fantastic, absorbing history

Cheers Darren 🙂
An Awesome 9 mins 30 secs 🙏🏻
Hi Donni, thanks so much
Late to the party, but, have to say that this is a superb little set! Got it as well and must say that Hornby have nailed the look and performance of it too! The loco can crawl around at near imperceptibly slow speeds, allowing realistic motion and nearly silent to boot! Detail is superb, which we find very relevant as this very ( running numbered)), engine passed by no more than a mile or two east of our house, back in the day! Nostalgic or what!? Cheers
Wow thanks very much. Yes it's a lovely set. Did you manage to see them then?
@@ModelRailwaysUnlimited Hi, no, and although I’m 76 now, I’ve only lived here for 20 years so before my time! Cheers
@@nigelparker5886 ah right, we were in Lyme in September
Interesting,, i enjoyed watching 😁
Many thanks indeed.
Was this part of the slow and dirty?
Not heard it called that I have to say
