Hello and thanks for looking. I was searching for some items in my workshop the other day and came across this excellent 1949 Clockwork Hornby 201 Trainset 'O' Gauge. Watch as I show you what's included in the box and give it a try out. It's still great fun to use even though it's 75 years old.

Nice to see you back again.. I'm 74 and I 'm afraid that I am not running as well as the old train set.. How wonderful to have owned a "toy" with such longevity? No batteries required? Perhaps we need "C.V's" in the future (Clockwork vehicles not E.V's) ..

Welcome back mr snooze, lovely Finish on the exposed stone walls .And that train set has been well looked after, i agree with others looks like a massive search light on a trailer. All the best cheers bob.

Great to see you back online. What an excellent mixed traffic set you have shown us. Wonderful. The item in the yard. A search light maybe? I have a Super 4 layout now if you have time to check it out. Look forward to seeing more content from you. Stay safe and happy modelling

Your locomotive is very similar to the one I had. It was used until the spring broke!! For a three year old boy like I was in 1960, the clockwork Hornby was the most appropriate thing for me!!

Well, hello Mr Snooze. I was looking at my channel subscriptions the other day and saw yours. I wondered when you would surface again. What a wonderful train set. It must have brought such delight to whoever received it. I hope it was one of those large presents under the Christmas tree. 😊

i remember in 195` my father setting up an o gauge train set it had the lner tank but also an lms tender engine we had coaches but no wagons i think but cannot be sure they would have been handme downs from my uncle who was much more wealthy than him

A wonderful set, I can see a repair coming at some point in the future.

I was given my first model railway when i was 5 in 1953. It was a Triang shop window display layout. OO electric with 46201 Princess Elisabeth locomotive an d 2 coaches. It was double track with full scenery in coloured bakerlite. It was mounted on a 7 ply board, I had many happy years using it.

What a wonderful thing to find in the workshop!! I started with railway modelling in 1960 with a nice little train set with clockwork locomotive, two carriages and an oval of 0 gauge track with level crossing.

If I had to hazard a guess, the mysterious green object lurking in your backyard is a spotlight or searchlight of kind. If I’m correct, do I get cookies? Nice to see you back with a new video, seems like you’ve been busy!

Yes looks like the sort of spotlight you would have alongside an anti aircraft gun.
