Great video Jenny, a really rather large contrast from Sam’s video. There seem to be a lot of inconsistencies in qc atm

Great video and review Jen ,they are both great models I have a Hornby Brighton Works one and love it.

I don’t feel that people are hating on the Rails version. I do agree with Sam’s Trains however concerning the advertising of the term “pedigree terrier” which implies the Rails version are meant to be superior when it’s simply not the case. There are arguments for and against both variants. It’s just Rails attempted to be boastful in its advertising and it’s backfired on them as they aren’t as pedigree as one would have hoped. “Pride cometh before the fall” springs to mind.

A great review Jenny. You have inspired me to buy several of the Dapol Terriers

Awesome locomotives ❤️ and love your layout and enjoying watching your videos and a great job doing 👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎😃❤️

HI jenny and zoe great work by zoe credit where credit due. am still sat on the fence, yes hornby has tooling issues and you point that out fair play nothing wrong with that, as for the ros/dapol one they looks great yes better than hornby one if am honest but ive seen to many qc issues with the dapol one bent chassie bit fallen off them and bits not fitted great not just from youtubers but on twitter and fb and even my mates who had 2 am worried for the d class at mo thanks for the review/look at keep safe arp

I don’t have a problem with either manufacturers model, it’s more about the different examples for me, as I’m interested in the IOW Terriers only. Having said that, the SE&CR example would be another I would be interested in. I think the sound is superb and if available in the examples I want would be the ones I’d go for. Sound is easy to fit in the IOW examples I already have. Don’t put the Hornby models down though, they are excellent and have proven their worth. Excellent video!

I absolutely love your layout

Very thorough comparison! Very useful. It's an interesting and complex mix of which locomotives have more merit in which areas; the Hornby seems to be better in the cab roof, backhead detail, chimney interior colour and safety valve detail (but only slightly). The Dapol/Rails seems to be better in livery application details, DCC arrangements (from your earlier video), bunker, length, glazing and a number of the other respects that you identify. On balance, I think my preference would be for the Dapol/Rails version.

Brilliant review. I just think there are a lot of people that do not like Rails of Sheffield, nothing to do with the model. Very very good. You are right to point out the small differences.

The work that Dapol has put into these models is outstanding. I'm hoping that we can get hold of the sound chip separately. I have the BR black version in DC. Would love to add the sound to it when money permits.

Can you tell me what a Sheffield X I.O.W Terrier looks lick or did it run elsewhere

Thanks Jenny based on your video I just preordered the DCC fitted Rails Brighton terrier. Your analysis was amazing. How hard is it to sound fit it and does train-o-matic offer a sound chip?

Hi the WC&PR is weston Clevedon and Portishead railway not Cleveland and sold to GWR Bristol and one was renamed Portishead that hornby do make of this model 😉 where can I get the sound chip for these?

Hello. Do you know when the kesr one will be out?

It's a pity hornby hasn't released WCPR 4 and 2 Portishead. Boxhill and Waddon are the only two A1 terriers to be preserved, although Waddon has an A1X boiler but kept its A1 smoke box so technically isn't an A1 or an A1X.

The Rails version might have a very slight edge but is it worth £30 more?? Apart from the roof issue I think the Rails Terrier has a less realistic representation of the wheels - unpainted plastic?!

Thank you so much Jenny for doing this review and comparing models with the Hornby versions too. I ordered the Brighton version and have to say was quite concerned after another very well known YT review on this model. However your review was balanced, fair and pointed out all the good. My model now has literally just arrived and Im so pleased with it. I completely agree the detailing, pipework, printing is exquisite. Regarding the seem on the roof, its hardly noticeable. Sometimes the camera can seem unkind when zooming in, highlighting things which are just not so obvious to the human eye. Im certainly looking forward to running mine now. Bless you Jenny thank you again for a great review.

Do you think the Dapol N gauge terrier will be just as good?

Ill be curious to how my Terrier arrives... There are definitely some issues like bent running boards and even the gauging issue that another youtuber showed.

I think some of the criticism of the Rail model is a bit pedantry. I mean the chassis is very slightly warped which I can see on the macro close up of the SE&CR model at the back of the water tank, but with the terrier models being so small, I don't see it on the model in real life. I'm happy with both my Hornby and Rails Terrier models, and I have one of each and two more Rails on order so....

Hi, Sam was less lucky with his version. Yours 'seems' perfect. But it sounds like Covid infected. Poor unrealistic sound. One can not expect it to be good with this small speaker. But does it stay on the rails ???? Anyway QC seems not consistent. Rolls Royce you call this ????

Sorry about sound question I should have finish watching video before I asked

Bent running board

I'm gonna share this review to Sams trains, show him what a superb review should look like...without his glaring Hornby bias. Thanks Jen. 👍

Box Hill is bent!

It is curious you should omit to mention the terrible fit of components onto the solebar across each model. 2644 front splasher. 82 smokebox. 751 tanks and cab. WCPR4 cab rear. They complain about the cab roof because its incredibly distracting and blindingly obvious. I think that you do make a good review. Much better than playing about on the carpet like one so called man. But you have focused on the pro's and ignored the con's here I am afraid.
