    Being a Hornby fan is like being stuck in an on-again, off-again relationship with your emotionally distant ex-you overlook the glue marks and derailed promises because, every now and then, they show up with an absolute masterpiece that reminds you why you fell for them in the first place... right before they ghost you with another price hike.

    I bought mine in July 2022 for about £25, and there were no glue marks, and it ran perfectly like yours. However, the interior detailing isn't very visible because it's moulded in clear plastic. So after my purchase, I spent a couple of days detailing it up so the interior would be the right colour, as well as the wooden veranda floor and the white lamp irons and step edges.

    Well, when it comes to spilling award for stopping Hornbee may have been taking a break from spelling the ward brake after all we all need a break now and ten. The smeared fingerprints may be an attempt at weathering by Hornbee so again give them a brake. The review was on the money, and I do like the look of the thing. Great video, Jersey Bill

    Given how big an impact a few stray glue marks can have, I'm surprised the big manufacturers haven't looked into alternate adhesives. Some of them may come with worker health and safety concerns, which is fair enough, but CA isn't exactly fun to use to begin with.
    After a few bad experiences with plastic cement and CA glue, I now use plain white glue almost exclusively to attach detail parts, at least on models already painted. It requires more patience, but it's very forgiving and possible to do again if it does break. It also dries clear and has an extremely good price compared to other glues

    With regards to the glue marks, maybe Hornby were attempting to create some weathering haha.
    Nice review as always.
    Maybe this is a way Hornby can bring in some easy revenue by re-releasing rolling stock with different liveries at a "value" price.

      In Victorian days up until the 1923 grouping, a number of railways did use the word 'break van' for a guard' van or brake van - I know, it looks odd to us, and I've never known the reason why - something to do with the vagaries of the English language, I expect.

    It may be discounted at retailers but most reduce by x amount and then charge for p&p which cancels out any discount. For anything approaching £30 I would expect at least, sprung buffers and usable lamp brackets, if not a working rear led.

    Hey Sam, I thought of an idea for an alternate coupling style you could use with your era 1 rolling stock. If you made a third intetchangable coupling with a small magnet embedded inside, you could connect the cars together with a real metal chain. They would be stronger than the 3D printed chains, and theoretically be easier to connect together.

    @maltnz 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Try a cotton bud with a small amount of IPA to wipe away the glue mist.
    Don't rub hard or long on the paint as it will start to come off, but depending on the glue Hornby used misting can come off. Actual glue stains (rather than the drying mist) probably won't come off so the window fingerprint is most likely there to stay.
    That said, a coating of clear gloss can improve the windows with glue by reducing the effect.

    4:03 "Break vans" is of course wrong. But it wasn't always so. Well into the latter years of the 19th century "break van" was the correct terminology.

    Sploshed over with glue, yikes ! I have this one in LMS and BR guise, it's a nice model. Shame for the botched glueing !

    I agree that stray glue may ruin a model, however I think this brake van is still a wonderful model for how much it costs.

    "Reasonably light weight, as you'd expect for a brake van . . " Sorry Sam? Brake vans are usually heavy so they can exert the necessary brake force to slow down the train ahead of them!?

    • @SamsTrains

      I meant in model form - I don't know of any heavy ones except Bachmann's Queen Mary!

    Giving a rating by comparative pricing is a bit bizarre! Just because something doesn't cost as much as something else does not mean it offers value for money. I wouldn't pay anything over £15 for a piece of rolling stock in any case.
    You failed to mention that the vehicle is named Bertie, though why Chester named it that I have no idea but it does mean it won't be seen on a layout that is based on a particular region far away from Chester.

    Guess you could say that Hornby didn’t misspell brake van, because all the visible glue will “break” your mind

      Just for reference, back in Victorian / Edwardian times, the Great Western at least used to call them "break" vans.

    Airfix first introduced this model at the end of the 1970s. All Hornbee have done is added the weight under the body.

      I'm pretty sure this isn't the Airfix one - looks like a much newer tooling to me!

    Love the website and will continue to watch.Hornby customer service is very good and will usually will replace if not happy.Just purchased new Railroad R30182 from Hornby direct and shipped to me in USA in 3 days super fast and Class 47 was awesome for 96 quid cant get better that that.The only sad part is the communist county they are made in you cant complain or criticize there or you would be removed from TH-cam. Just think how lucky you are Sam to have free speech keep up the good work with more videos.
