SNCF -Societie National de Chemins de Fer. The analogy between the PLM (Paris, a Lyons et mediterannee) and the LNER is quite fitting, as the French in the late 1850s grouped their privatised companies into the five 'Grand Companies', each with a monopoly in the area they served. These were the Chemin de Fer du Nord; d'Est; d'Ouest; du Midi; PLM; Paris-Orleans. During the 1870s the French State opened many lines of railway, too (Chemins de Fer de l'Etat). The class 3A is a "long boiler" type (originally designed and patented by Robert Stephenson in 1841) with the wheels between the cylinders and smokebox. Those are the Salter safety valve cases behind the steam dome; the sand dome is behind it. They were built in great numbers from the 1850s onwards in France. This particular type being built from 1870 to c.1900 :-) Ant
What I could gather from this locomotive is that it was a mass-produced engine. "Bourbonnais" doesn't refer to a specific class, just this general outline produced by J F Cail in France for the PLM, starting in 1854. Kinda the same scheme as the Degoichi in Japan and the General in the US. The one that's been preserved has had some changes made to it, hence why it looks quite different. The model one is absolutely gorgeous!
I like it. Very old styled with the large smoke stack and pipes, I like the earlier more primitive engines. Wish there were more British of similar eras.
I looked at my shelf an took my old Rivarossi box, witch says : 44; diesel locomotive (housing a German V160). Right now it is a non-runner, its missing a brush, but it was only 15 GBP. The pickup "system" is a Rivarossi distinctness, ALL the locos I have from them including my early 2000's SNCF 231E express steam loco (big steamers are loco drive + tires, and the running wheels pick up too) , and the few diesels i own from them, has it!
Hi Sam. I like the Rivarossi SNCF class 3A. I, like you, like the unusual. The two items coming out of the top of the front dome are the safety valve actuating lever and the vertical parts are the operating springs. The cover plate on the funnel would be useful for stopping birds nesting in it. Best regards, Alan.
Hey Alan - glad you liked this too - definitely glad I picked this up! Thanks for the info on those parts - I was half right with those then! ;D Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Nice to see any Rivarossi on the channel, let alone an old one. I have several SNCF HO models but mostly Lima and Joeuf and passenger trains, although some SNCF are used for commuter lines, passenger travel and freight all with the same engines. 1st SNCF Rivarossi switcher I've ever seen. Bring them on! Ever have any Electroten in house? A true Spanish line, they are very interesting and highly detailed as well. According to the website rivarossi-memory.it, the 3A SNCF 0-3-0 is a faithful reproduction of French steam locomotive and its tender. They were indeed known as "Bourbonnais ' used for hauling freight and passengers. A total of 944 units were produced with 143 still in service at the turn of the Century. Rivarossi production of these units were between 1967-1992. The model 1344 is shown on the site. Given the model number of 40 on the packaging, I'd say it was an earlier rather than later model. Most I've seen from the 1970's and 80's had 4 digit catalog numbers.
Thanks a lot mate - I really enjoyed showing this one too!! Thanks very much for all the handy info on this, appreciate it! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I would say that this could have originally been an Italian locomotive "translated" by Rivarossi to France for market reasons. Bourbonnais was the name used also in Italy to call a 0-6-0 Six-coupled, and you could check the similarity of this model to the 1864 Italian FS 215 or to the latter 1888 FS 270, which were produced by several factories and so with many differences amongst them even if in the same class. Maybe some French cabs had no windows aside, and for this reason in such model side openings might have been omitted.
Fair review of a not so detailed French steam loco by Rivarossi. I have several excellent detailed French and German steam locos by Rivarossi and especially by Jouef.
Hi Sam. What an interesting model!. I quite like the design of this loco. The detail on the tender wasn't too bad - so how strange how basic the locomotive is. I have to agree about the realism of the coal in the tender - quite blown away!
It’s interesting to see some of the foreign models and how they compare to the UK. I like the drive mechanism look quite neat. The link between loco and tender is as you say a weak point, Lima used the same type on some of their models.
Beautiful, I may get one and modify it into a Mt lyell baldwin since the chassis is a dead ringer. Nice to see something different and hopefully we'll see more international locos (aside from american) in the future, especially some from my home country (Australia). If you ever do Australian locos would suggest the NSW 45 class by Auscision, It's expensive but really worth it because it has directional lighting, diecast chassis, cab detail with drivers, metal details and a 5 pole motor. if you do plan to get one, I'd hurry as there's only one livery left (A beautiful red one might I add). I can provide a link if you're interested.
That's a very good idea - good luck with the project if you go for it! Thanks for the suggestion - I'll be sure to look into those! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)
@@SamsTrains it was a decent runner until it fell apart and the screw that holds it together doesn't hold the front together anymore, which is why I bought my Mehano 4-4-0
Smart Trains made an HO scale battery powered version of this loco in the 1990's, for kiddies plastic tracked HO trainsets. The batteries were carried in the oversized bogie tender (2 x AA batteries). The Smart Trains version of the loco had a metal wheels on the loco, auto track trigger trip switch underneath, working headlight, spark arrestor bucket chimney and vertical cow catcher to "Americanise it" as it came with very well made US bogie cattle cars, gondola, flat and passenger cars. It pretty much looked like the Spanish "Americanised" loco from 1970's spaghetti westerns. Coupling were very nifty discrete single direction automatic couplings. I have 5 of the things as I bought the sets for the well detailed HO US rolling stock that came in the £5 trainsets. Smart Trains also into battery O guage trains. Their only loco they produced was the GWR Holden 0-4-0T 101 which I also have an example of. (Yes it is an exact scaled up clone of the Hornby OO version!!
Nice loco Sam The thing on the chimney is a spark arrester, its a series of fine mesh layers that will allow steam and smoke through, but stop sparking larger lumps of stuff that would be ejected if the engine is working hard. Some UK companies used them on locos working in docks and other areas where there was a fire risk. In nations like France, Italy, Spain etc were summers are hotter and dryer, and therefore the chance of sparks setting anything lineside on fire is higher they are / were required by law/ Jon
I own two rivarossi locomotives. A CNJ “Blue Comet” locomotive that I’ve modified, and a Baltimore and Ohio C16 switch locomotive. They are very good, and perform well. Btw I thought the 141R was your first French locomotive.
That's great to hear Nate - I've heard lots of positive things about their performance! Oh yeah - I'd forgotten about that one, lol! ;D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

Tatls a really cute model. They cold develop that to a very high level I think. Its nice to see moe Continental engines in model form. :-) They are Salter safety valves on the dome. You will see them in early British engines. And that is a cover for the chimney for short stops in stations and when the engine is in storage. The smokebox door is similar t that on the d=famous 'Mersey tanks, one of which we have here i Australia. . :-):-)
Hello Sam, Its always fascinating to see engines and rolling stock, unique to other countries. Just a thought, but have you ever sent of one of your engines off to Erik Kalinski, John at chambs123 's friend, for a paint job? I wonder if this engine might look superb given an early pre-SNCF livery paint job, with some of the details picked out. Could be worth experimenting with it maybe, especially as its a 19th Century engine.
Hey Piers, thanks a lot for the comment! I've never thought of that, but that would be a very good idea - it'd be fascinating to see this loco in a different guise! Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I like this one that just because I like a train set standout so that they don't look like that their basic cookie cutter cutouts of what ever works. A couple of inches in my collection which I can think of off the top of my head which do stand out is the royal Hudson and the police diesel.
I like that - I'd call it 'pleasingly ugly'. It's certainly all business. If it is of wartime vintage, it would look good pulling a couple of flat wagons with a ROCO 1/87 Panzer tank on each. It's also the weird sort of engine you might find working on private sidings in the UK hauling for a mine or on a quayside. Yeah, I like it.
Yes I remember this loco from before and I do like it alot because it's odd and wonderful. It's a shame you'll never get one of the bavarian B VI 2-4-0s by Trix because of its price. :( As I own the Märklin versions I can attest to them being soooo beautiful and I know you'd love one. But, if £60 is considdered expensive then £200+ for the B VI isn't even on the table..
I agree Jonatan - this one's really fascinating! I would love to try one - who knows, maybe one will turn up for a good price?? :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)
that is one odd ball engine i like it has that turn of the 1900's in it still old looking but slightly morden ad showing that those other country's are taking after us, if you ever do an odd ball loco running this will be in there
Amazing, such interesting designs, I wish someone would make a rtr French type 120. (The locomotive from the montparnasse derailment) they have so much charm
I'm pretty sure that rivarossi had some inspiration from Russian o class engine, because this looks like a shrunken version of it. I also can see some similarities with Austrian mh/399 class
Hi Sam I liked your video and Rivarossi are reissuing the UP Big boy as number 4014 as a limited edition in August/September perhaps you could review one as your next American locomotive .
I like french outline. I did'nt expect tender drive from such a good manufacturer. Very informatiive about pick ups and drive etc. Thank you I liked the model, but I think. I would spend the £60 on Bachmann GWR second hand I think. Great vid.
Giving this for information: Both HO and 00 gauges have a track gauge (width) of 16.5mm. 00 Scale is 1:76.2 (4mm to 1 foot) whereas HO Scale is 1:87 (3.5mm to 1 foot). Meaning 00 gauge is 76.2 times smaller than full size and HO is 87 times smaller than full size. I hope people can refer to this information if they want a full description of the difference between HO and 00. If I made any errors please correct me.
Excellent review of the HO French locomotive Sam 👍😉 It good to see a European loco been review and it would be great if you review a German loco in the near future. I really like to see you doing a review of a HO model loco of the USA S160 Class as I like to see one in action on your layout and as I saw two of the model on display at the model shop Gaugemaster. Next month I'm going to do my model railway layout with a double track lines with two trains in operation and the locos that I'm going to run on it will be just tank engines as well small tender locos.
Thanks very much Joe, appreciated it! I enjoyed doing this for a change - and I'd love to try a German engine too at some point! Good luck with your own model railway - that sounds brilliant! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Interesting. It kinda' reminds me of the steam locomotive from the black & white wwii movie "The Train" ft. Burt Lancaster. Also, on the topic of Rivarossi, did u ever find the J.W. Bowker model I mentioned before?
After seeing the comments bout people getting triggered by the Dean goods pulling a passenger train. I don't tend to run goods with my either 99.9% of the time, I run it with my Pullman's just because it looks right
Oooh! Looks very nice, but strange at the same time. I reckon if I ever find one I will scrap the tender and body, and make a model of Portbury, the Avonside 0-6-0 at the Bristol Harbour Railway
Please try to buy a Roco or Märklin DB BR 80 . I love that little engine. ( Do you use Analog, or Digital? ) By the way it's not ugly. I find trains with odd proportions Pretty.
Everything vintage Rivarossi is listed here www.rivarossi-memory.it/ The French section here www.rivarossi-memory.it/Riva_Loco_Altre/Riva_Loco_Altre_Vapore.htm Art. No. 40 is listed as being introduced in 1967 although Sams's box looks to be later production.
Quite a good old locomotive. I think you need some more European rolling stock. Usually carriages and wagons can buy them cheaply used at model railway shows.
Nice video! It is an intresting thing. Just a question, I noticed on the members steam you didn’t seem to be noticing my comments. It may be a problem my end though.
Hey! Yeah I don't recall seeing your messages - I read every one that came through! Could it be an issue with your privacy settings maybe?? Really sorry for that mate! Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I wonder how heavy the tender really is. It is pretty shocking that a tiny tiny tender can get really heavy because of the motor inside and a lot of metal and diecast. It could be the same exact weight as a Big Tank Engine like a 2-6-4T. Try weigh the French 0-6-0 tender and a 2-6-4T to see if they weigh the same.
Unfortunately there is no model train store in Indonesia. You will be surprised by the number of model train fans in Indonesia. Please open a shop in Indonesia, let us buy directly at the store
16:22 "Some of them milk and some of them fuel and some of them other sorts of drinks. Not sure how legal that would be in real life but on my railway I don't mind that too much." Well, from what you've taught us about modelrailwaymanship, I wouldn't be surprised if OO scale people consider fuel a drink, but I'm not so sure about in real life...
Hi Sam, your class 3A could be more than 50 years old as it was first produced in 1967! It's also the basic "junior" version. www.rivarossi-memory.it/Riva_Loco_Altre/F_Vapo_Bourbonnaise.htm
Hey Sam, just a quick question for me to ask you: Are you a big can on Pokemon games of the tv show? If you are then I completely respect you for your likes and dislikes and all of your train sets are awesome and so cool. Kind regards, Paul.
An 'interesting' model, rather than an attractive one. Regarding the lid for the smoke stack, I have seen those on engines and I imagined they were for keeping the rain out when not in use.
Hey Sam sorry it has been so long since I commented on one of your videos: reason one I just got a baby brother, two there is this trying to get my model trains up into the attic
Now We Need Some Italian-Style Pizza Box Vans Pulling Italian Pizzas To Go With This Train If U Don't Get The Joke Is Because Of This Loco Is Made In Italy
It's nice to have some things that are different in your collection.
Thanks Andrew! I’ve really been enjoying them too! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
The design resembles a Stockton & Darlington Railway design, and, back in the 1960s, someone in Model Railway Constructor converted one.
This loco is actually the bourbonnais.
Review a modern rivarossi locomotive, they are so good 💪
I've heard that! I will look into getting one! :D

I agree Jonatan - this one's really fascinating! I would love to try one - who knows, maybe one will turn up for a good price?? :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
that is one odd ball engine i like it has that turn of the 1900's in it still old looking but slightly morden ad showing that those other country's are taking after us, if you ever do an odd ball loco running this will be in there
haha it certainly is - and definitely, I like the idea of an odd ball running session! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
That looks so much like the danish litra G Loco nice
Ooh really?? I'll look that one up! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Hey Sam have a look at the added link
Amazing, such interesting designs, I wish someone would make a rtr French type 120. (The locomotive from the montparnasse derailment) they have so much charm
Thank you Tino - I've never heard of that one, I'll have to look it up! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
That locomotive looks extraordinarily similar to pre-1900s Italian steam locomotives
I'm pretty sure that rivarossi had some inspiration from Russian o class engine, because this looks like a shrunken version of it. I also can see some similarities with Austrian mh/399 class
Ahh you reckon?? I'll have to look into that!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Hi Sam I liked your video and Rivarossi are reissuing the UP Big boy as number 4014 as a limited edition in August/September perhaps you could review one as your next American locomotive .
Thanks very much Tony! Yes I saw that - they're not cheap though!! :O
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I like french outline. I did'nt expect tender drive from such a good manufacturer. Very informatiive about pick ups and drive etc. Thank you I liked the model, but I think. I would spend the £60 on Bachmann GWR second hand I think. Great vid.
Thanks very much Peter - glad you liked that! Yeah I think I'd probably do the same, given the choice!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
That cap on the chimney looks like the exhaust cap on my grandfather's Ford 3000 tractor.
haha yeah!! It does look like a tractor exhaust cap, lol! ;D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Giving this for information:
Both HO and 00 gauges have a track gauge (width) of 16.5mm. 00 Scale is 1:76.2 (4mm to 1 foot) whereas HO Scale is 1:87 (3.5mm to 1 foot).
Meaning 00 gauge is 76.2 times smaller than full size and HO is 87 times smaller than full size.
I hope people can refer to this information if they want a full description of the difference between HO and 00. If I made any errors please correct me.
Yep that's absolutely right mate - spot on! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Excellent review of the HO French locomotive Sam 👍😉
It good to see a European loco been review and it would be great if you review a German loco in the near future.
I really like to see you doing a review of a HO model loco of the USA S160 Class as I like to see one in action on your layout and as I saw two of the model on display at the model shop Gaugemaster.
Next month I'm going to do my model railway layout with a double track lines with two trains in operation and the locos that I'm going to run on it will be just tank engines as well small tender locos.
Thanks very much Joe, appreciated it! I enjoyed doing this for a change - and I'd love to try a German engine too at some point!
Good luck with your own model railway - that sounds brilliant! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I love the unique look of this loco.
Me too!! :D
Olive drab , I believe the colour is called
In the shot where it is on the layout, the tender body is not sat on the chassis correctly.
Yes you're right! I must have replaced it badly!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I think odd enigne is the blue tank enigne if not mistaken its a jintty
Very well spotted, I think you're right there! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Thats a funky little train is it that's the smallest tender I've ever seen great video
Thanks Morgz! Yeah I think it's the smallest tender I've ever seen too! :O
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Interesting. It kinda' reminds me of the steam locomotive from the black & white wwii movie "The Train" ft. Burt Lancaster. Also, on the topic of Rivarossi, did u ever find the J.W. Bowker model I mentioned before?
Yeah a few others have mentioned that too - I really will have to check that out! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
After seeing the comments bout people getting triggered by the Dean goods pulling a passenger train.
I don't tend to run goods with my either
99.9% of the time, I run it with my Pullman's just because it looks right
haha yeah!! It's fine anyway - they didn't always run with goods in real life either ;)
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
The detail is a bit average but I love the detail on the tender and the coal effect
Yeah me too - I like that too! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Fantastic review Sam! You always make good videos!
Thanks so much mate - that's very kind of you! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
in fact Bourbonnais is a type of locomotive that uses 030 (0-6-0) axle configuration and have external cylinders. So yes this one is :-)
Ahh duly noted - thanks for letting me know! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Oooh! Looks very nice, but strange at the same time. I reckon if I ever find one I will scrap the tender and body, and make a model of Portbury, the Avonside 0-6-0 at the Bristol Harbour Railway
Thanks a lot mate - that sounds awesome too, what a good project idea! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Please try to buy a Roco or Märklin DB BR 80 . I love that little engine. ( Do you use Analog, or Digital? )
By the way it's not ugly. I find trains with odd proportions Pretty.
Good idea - I'll look into that! I use both Analogue and digital!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Reminiscent of “The Train” movie with Burt Lancaster! Tres bien.
Is it really?? I'll have to watch that one! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Ohhhhhh a french locomotive, verry nice to see some french locomotives, idea:Next time try to find a Swedish model locomotive-Axel
She is quite petit, but thats what i like about her. The paint job is a very nice colour, id like to see more locos like that
Thanks very much guys! Ooh good suggestion, I’d love a Swedish train! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
You need to look at the light in the smokebox
Yeah there was a bulb - but it's very very dim! ;D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Everything vintage Rivarossi is listed here www.rivarossi-memory.it/
The French section here www.rivarossi-memory.it/Riva_Loco_Altre/Riva_Loco_Altre_Vapore.htm
Art. No. 40 is listed as being introduced in 1967 although Sams's box looks to be later production.
Brill, thanks a lot for this - I'll take a look! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Great video Sam can't wait for more British stuff
Thanks David! Coming soon!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Quite a good old locomotive. I think you need some more European rolling stock. Usually carriages and wagons can buy them cheaply used at model railway shows.
Thanks a lot Ben! I certainly do - I'll keep an eye out for more! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Nice video! It is an intresting thing. Just a question, I noticed on the members steam you didn’t seem to be noticing my comments. It may be a problem my end though.
Hey! Yeah I don't recall seeing your messages - I read every one that came through! Could it be an issue with your privacy settings maybe?? Really sorry for that mate!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I wonder how heavy the tender really is. It is pretty shocking that a tiny tiny tender can get really heavy because of the motor inside and a lot of metal and diecast. It could be the same exact weight as a Big Tank Engine like a 2-6-4T. Try weigh the French 0-6-0 tender and a 2-6-4T to see if they weigh the same.
Yeah it's pretty cool! I did weigh the thing I think - I give the weight during the detail section I think! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
ive got an n gauge one of those on my bedside table
Wow!! I bet that looks awesome!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Unfortunately there is no model train store in Indonesia. You will be surprised by the number of model train fans in Indonesia. Please open a shop in Indonesia, let us buy directly at the store
Ahh sorry to hear that - but glad you're still able to get them over there!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Very nice, hope we see more international locos in the future.
Thanks Patrick! I hope to do more soon too! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
This is a model from the movie the train
Hmmm, very interesting model! It does remind me of the NER Longboiler...
I love it!
Ooh really?? I’ll have to look those up!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
It’s a cute little loco not gonna lie! How’s reliability been?
haha thank you! Since I serviced it, no running issues at all! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
16:22 "Some of them milk and some of them fuel and some of them other sorts of drinks. Not sure how legal that would be in real life but on my railway I don't mind that too much."
Well, from what you've taught us about modelrailwaymanship, I wouldn't be surprised if OO scale people consider fuel a drink, but I'm not so sure about in real life...
Hi Sam, your class 3A could be more than 50 years old as it was first produced in 1967! It's also the basic "junior" version. www.rivarossi-memory.it/Riva_Loco_Altre/F_Vapo_Bourbonnaise.htm
Thanks very much for this - I knew it was old, but had no idea it was THAT old!!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Xiou xiou xiou le choo choo. The loco looks really interesting, I enjoy real odd looking locos
Thanks a lot Hippie - I enjoy these odd ones too! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I wonder if they will do a russian steam loco for 00 gauge
That would be epic to see! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Sam you should really buy a ns 200/300 “sik” from Roco, they’re great little 040 shunters
Thanks a lot for the tip! I'll look into that! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I think it's a neat little engine
I think this is my favorite style loco wish there was a bit more to the paint
Thanks very much mate! Yeah it was very basic - they may have been that way in real life though??
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Hi Sam, yes there it has something about it you could like , I think it looks a bit saucy if you see what I mean, All the Best Brian 🤗
haha I agree Brian, lol! ;D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I really want this one but it costs too much and I don’t have a track to put it on plus I dot. Even know how to control these
Yeah I agree - they are a bit expensive for what they are :(
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
The rivarossi Nord pacific is great
Ooh is it?! I'd love to try it!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Hey Sam, just a quick question for me to ask you: Are you a big can on Pokemon games of the tv show? If you are then I completely respect you for your likes and dislikes and all of your train sets are awesome and so cool. Kind regards, Paul.
Hey Paul - I'm not really, though I did like some of the games though! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
@@SamsTrains I completely respect your choice and I will see your next hornby train video when u get it published. Kind regards, Paul.
An 'interesting' model, rather than an attractive one. Regarding the lid for the smoke stack, I have seen those on engines and I imagined they were for keeping the rain out when not in use.
Thanks a lot Ian - yeah I thought that too - no idea if that's true or not, I would guess so!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
im sorry if im asking too much, but please could you run with some open plank wagons? -Wim :)
That would be good Wim - I'll have to do more of that! :D
blease let me know where i can get one of these
I think this loco, especially the smokebox door, looks very Austrian
Ahh do you think?? I'll have to look at Austrian locos!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Hey Sam sorry it has been so long since I commented on one of your videos: reason one I just got a baby brother, two there is this trying to get my model trains up into the attic
That's okay mate, welcome back - and congrats on your new Brother! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Hey! That's the same tiny tender engine you showed in your tiny tender engines video! :)
haha yeah it was!! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Excellent work on this review Sam. :D
Thank you Kameron! :D
i wish you get more detail in your layout (docks city road) but good video
Me too! The layout is just for fun though - I focus more on the engines!
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I've got a question. How the bloody hell do you afford all these new trains?
Me: *sees a dean goods with a passenger train*
Also me: TRIGGERED
haha!! ;D
this model was produced from 1967 to 1992
Cool, thanks for the info!!
Happy New Year - Sam :)
Great video Sam really enjoyed it nice work.
That's great to hear Arthur, thanks a lot! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Now We Need Some Italian-Style Pizza Box Vans Pulling Italian Pizzas To Go With This Train
If U Don't Get The Joke Is Because Of This Loco Is Made In Italy
haha!! xD
Honestly this just looks like something on the battle fields of WW2. Just cause of the colour
haha yeah it does actually!! xD
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
What a beautiful little loco!
Thank you! :D
Awesome video today Sam beautiful locomotive I might have to get one and review it lol
Thanks very much James! I can certainly recommend it, for the right price! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
Lovely looking model.
Would love to see it pulling some Pullmans
Thanks mate - great idea with the Pullmans, that would be great! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
