The play value of your layout is most apparent in this video Oscar. So many different train movements giving the impression of a busy railway at work. I have both the bridge and the viaduct but have not yet found a use for them. I'm surprised that you felt the need to ask if we would like to see new items as you get them, of course we would. Through your collection and videos I am gaining an appreciation for items I have overlooked in the past, for example the Caledonian coaches, they really are beautiful. As always, you have entertained me and left me wanting to see more. Regards, David.

Enjoyed that Oscar, I can well remember, a old Hornby Black 5 & a 101 DMU, in the late 60's on the basic board layout (never was finished) which my farther started starting to both started to smoke, with much panic he knocked both loco's of the tracks fearing the house would burn down! it was 20 years later I was aloud to build a first proper oo layout! That was a 7' long x 2'6'' 18'' wide shelf layout

Really enjoyed the running session and you doing the signalmans job 😀👍

Nice video you got there

Great running session Oscar. Very relaxing. Thanks for sharing. Roy.

Hi Oscar, looking at that rather nice mineral train. An 8F pulling them would look really great. Not sure if the Hornby one would be too new for you. But the Wrenn on would be about the right era and was released by Triang between the years 1969.- 1972.A new tooled version with an all plastic body and tender drive. was released in 1988 by Hornby, But not sure if this is not a bit too late for you. The only information I can find on the white roofed Caladonian coaches shows they were released after 1965. So they may well have been sold in Triang boxes. Again another wonderful video to watch.

That catalogue was one of the first ones I had when I first started out with model trains in the early 70’s, unfortunately my pay as an apprentice did not run to buying loco’s so had to run goods wagon with my childhood Hornby Dublo three rail train set which I still have. Great video.

I had to replace the old bulbs in my HST with LED boards , I painted the inside black to stop light bleed . Love your videos.

What interests me in Vintage Model Railways is the driving of the trains and associated operations. It's also fascinating to see how the change in colours of accessories compliments the rolling stock. It is genius isn't it that they could maintain new interest by changing colours, dropping models for a period and then bringing them back for a new generation. Thanks for making such interesting top quality videos. 🥳🥳🥳🥳🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫💫

I love it when you have more than 1 train running Oscar.

Well, that was a very absorbing and enjoyable 23 mins. Really good visuals of the trains running parallel, steam vs HST, such a contrast. Nice new items from Triangman too. I have purchased many things from him. 👍😊

Hi Oscar, new watcher to you programs. I had much fun with the coal drop bridge on an old layout using the Cory wagons too. Recognise much of the stock that you show. Happy days!!

Very nice models you presented today. Regards Andy 🤠

Great fun, properly playing trains:-)

It’s was a novelty to turn off the lights and watch my HST set in the dark headlights and glowing cab saved up for the blue 47 superb ,great video as always Oscar ,Mark

Hello Oscar, some excellent running to watch today, I enjoyed all the different routes. Great bridges, what a fantastic colour. All the best to you

Good old vintage locos

Nice one . Great running session . Good to see all these models do what they are supposed to do . Huge enjoyment

Ultimate Dream Train Set, Lovely to see and hear everything operating as it should, Smooth and efficiently. I love how we look at items in the Brochure and then they appear in reality, like I wished would happen when I was 8. Also loved the Tandem Running. Great Vid 👍🏻

Hi oscar A great funning session nice to see some stock running round keeping the signal man on his toes,did not notice if you had put the new roof on the 31 that i sent you a while ago, anyway a great session none tne less. Hope you get your signaling sorted, Regards Paul osman

A very nice collection of purchases you have made there Oscar and the running session was great with all the different trains that were used.

I’ve a very late, late nineties/2004 possibly, B12 in dark Green with the chuff chuff tender. It’s the old body with a new separate hand rail too

Great video Oscar.

Another great video.

I have a class 31. It’s also gets very noisy which generally says it needs a service. I’ve started using Tamyia graphite grease on the gears and axle mounts. It helps reduce the noise on those motors a little

I love it! - I reckon there would have been a few spilt cups of coffee on those trains. On the class 31, I don't recall ours being particularly noisy, but I know there are at least two variants of the motor and gearing. To be honest, I can't remember exactly when ours was last run, but I'm pretty certain it would have been powered from one of the more up to date "Current Feedback" controllers, which probably makes a difference to the sound from the motor. It's not DCC, but the driveability is comparable to DCC.

Lots of interest as usual. Glowing cab lighting at 1:07. Even prior to the HST, the cab lights were a big attraction of the R159 double ended diesels. Glowing at both ends cabs as well as from the headlight beams. Yes it was not how trains would run , but a big attraction in turning the room lights off to appreciate the headlight beam and cab lights. Both to me, friends and family. With that model a lot of running was done creating lots of atmosphere in the dark. So maybe Hornby for the HST had some corporate memory of their Triang roots reasons for success and it might have been intended. Even today in Sam's Trains comments numerous comments are made from seeming younger modellers lamenting the lack of lighting on models. Now simpler and cheaper with LEDs.

Hiya @ 3:17 I was going to say - if not often that we see 2 Locos running at the same time - would be nice to see that happen more often please 🙏😉🚂🚂🚂

A very nice running session and I like the Caledonian coaches, that's a smart looking livery.

Always love watching these, thank you for taking me back to my childhood! Do you have one of the lifting bridges, I think they were electrically operated.

Nice video which gave a good idea of the scope of the new layout.

Great video as usual Oscar, I do have a single viaduct like yours but haven't found a suitable place to install it, so it sits on the shelf, your collection is amazing, many thanks

Another great video Oscar. By the way have you ever come across models suffering from Zinc Pest (Mazak Rot)? I haven't myself and since they seem to be on later models you might have not either. The brick bridge and Viaduct are still in the 2019 catalogue R180 and R189. At one time there was was a brick bridge with graffiti on it!

Hi Oscar, Excellent video and some really nice footage of trains passing each other. I know what you mean by clearing things off the layout and putting on fresh models. It's not that we are fed up with them it just adds a freshness and a revisit to something that has been in a box for a while or is new to you. I recently changed some station buildings however I have two Waiting Rooms/Toilets with no red chimneys ( a common problem I think). Any thoughts on who might be selling that sort of thing would be very much appreciated. Regards and take care, Gordon

Love the channel - just picked up x2 vintage Tri-ang rolling stock to kick off my collection. What do you use as a collecting reference? Vintage catalogues are the best? Thanks in advance

Hi Oscar what a great video should have been longer good to see different locos the 125 looks great the one i just got from Dave runs good just waiting for a buffet coachfrom Dave , yours looked great with all them coaches on.Just ordered aclass 52 maroon and a class 5 x p jubilee 4-6-0 .Well take care till next week Mel nz

good vid

Review the hornby mail train

Great video as usual. How come the Y point has two point motors?

Hi Oscar, I started to be given Tri-ang railway stuff in the late 1950s, but I've never seen that hand uncoupler, not even in a catalogue. Was it designed for the pre tension lock couplings?

I have two of those controllers I don't want them they are very clean and are in boxes with the instructions. If you want them let.know
