"Hattons barclay katie" Very 'to the point'!

sir, I got a Wix add, I'm now half-asleep. il come back and watch this when I'm awake again

I just clicked coming off of another review of yours, amazing content! Keep it up!

I actually have all 12 of the Hatton's Barclays, took me 3 years to find them all but I managed in the end 😂

Hey Sam you should try and reviewing LEGO train sets

Okay, I'm convinced. I'm going to buy this bundle, especially for Katie. I love the look of her, and it'd nice to finally have a Barclay engine for my collection. Nice review Sam, and thanks for helping me decide what to buy next.

Congrats on 100k subscribers! 😀

I've had my katie for a year and its so nice. Great video sam

These really are superb models Sam, and a great example of what can be done. Congratulations to Hatton's once again for producing such a stunning model...Bob

Ooh a nice 040. I hope I can get my hands on one of these bundles. Although my layout is more modern image I still want one. Great video. Bit of a late one. I'm quite miffed now as most of the bundles are out of stock. Trust my luck. ;(

OoO nice review again Sam! (As always) I really like the model, wish I could get it. Thanks Sam!

Big impact from such a small locomotive. What a great model and with the pack makes them such great value. Very sharp paintwork that's for sure. Considering how much some other manufactures are asking way to much for a small loco *cough heljan*, its models like this Barclay, that show you don't need to spend big dollars to get a good quality model. Great review, Clint

Why was this uploaded at Midnight? I guess I'll watch in the morning, I'm way too tired

You got to love the Hattons Andrew barclays it's a lovely loco and I do wish I had both of mine still as Katie was my 1st one. Great video fella

I have an old Triang "Polly" that I fitted a SEVEN pole "Zenith" motor to (from the 1950's). I bought a Ronald Dodd remagnetizer to rezap the motor. It runs very smooth and I fitted outside cylinders and connecting rod from a Bachmann Percy to it. I added weight so now it's over 190 grammes. It's my first loco as I'm just getting into model railways, thanks mostly to watching your channel. Cheers.

Looks awesome and runs really well. Love the livery on it too

Great review Sam it looks very nice

I really do need to get one (or two 😆) of these Barclay's! I've heard nothing but good things about them and the Hatton's P Class is one of my best locos. The only reason I haven't got the Barclay yet is because I can't decide which livery to go for! Another great review as always Sam! 👍

Beautiful engine - it was built in 1946 and is currently at the Churnet Valley Railway. These engines were popular in quarries because of their very short wheelbase. I am sure she would not have had vacuum brakes in her working days. They were often used over roughly laid track - but they were very powerful, like your model, for their size. The oversized buffers stopped the buffers interlocking with wagon buffers on very tight curves. A very nice review.

Looking at the little locomotive in the thumbnail it looks fun!

I really wish the internet had been available in the 1970s when I was running Athern and Bachmann American sets. Of course you wernt even born. I love your reviews even though I used to operate dc because dcc wasnt even an idea. My first upscale controller had a brake system on it. Pull back on the switch and the train would slow down. Quite convincing for 1979... Now I live vicariously through vloggers like you. Great review. And wow...great score!

What a little stunner. Really love those massive buffers. Some of the big manufactures had better watch out with people like Hattons and Oxford coming up. Great model, many thanks Sam.

Another great review. I think I might pick this up.

Nice review on Hatton’s Barclay 0-4-0 locomotive! The version that you have looks stunning in the bright red color along with the red wheels! And it when it comes to your rating system, this Hatton’s Barclay locomotive ticks all of the boxes when it comes to its detail and performance! Overall, I’d give this Barclay 0-4-0 locomotive by Hatton’s a “B+”! 😃👍

Hello Sam I’m a big fan I’ve been watching you for 7 years and you’ve grew so much! You are my favorite KZfaqr! And that’s a beautiful locomotive

I actually got one of these in the mail today, the "Coronation" loco specifically, and I have to say that it's really exquisite! Honestly, the performance is really good after it gets run-in. Sadly, the 3 link couplings don't work as the chain links are too small, but that doesn't detract from the model at all. Well done Hattons!

Owned the bundle for a bit and it was a lovely bargin, hope they do another set of bundles as they still have some andrew barclays and hope to see a train pack with the p-class and the genesis secr pack.

Cool I have an affinity for those as a ncb one is up at the doon valley railway has given me many happy memories

Hi again I just wanted to say that I still will watch your videos! 😁 I still love model trains!

I found one of these today in blue in a charity shop for £5 along with a class 31 triang R357 for £15 in good condition. Probably the best little purchase I've had and they both one great

Sam I bought the warwel wagons with Hatton’s Barclay combo it is great thank you for your video on them it made up my mind to buy them

You’ve got to love hattons locos . Steam and all ! Great video Sam

An awesome little loco. I need one, but not sure which. I've recently started volunteering at the Tanfield Railway, and yesterday I was working on their Barclay, an 0-6-0ST named Horden. Very mucky work, but very fun, and worth it to get a steam loco working again.

Nice Unboxing & Review on Hatton's Andrew Barclay 'Katie'! Can't wait to see more;)

oh yes that is lovely! yep def going to enjoy this would pick one up, maybe if i see one at a carboot for a few quid in poor shape or not in good but still there i'd pick up, hmm might be time for a running lil tank saddle engines sam?

My dad and I just put the sheeting on the benchwork for my layout, and I'm in the process of placing and shaping a foam base for it

Realised I am watching this when I have already unboxed this loco myself. It's a lovely livery and very well detailed for the price.

These are fantastic little models, however you raise a good point about long term storage prior to sale. I received mine today (27/11/20) and found that it ran very poorly even after running in, so I opened it up and found that the lubricated parts were bone dry and strangely the wheels were actually pretty dirty. The dirty wheels may have just been my test/running loop so I can't say for certain that the loco arrived in that condition. However after a good clean with Isopropyl and some fresh lubrication, the loco now runs perfectly!

This locomotive is 100% adorable! I kind of want one, though it would do a great disservice to have it on static display, since I don't have a line XD. Still, this is my ideal type of little loco, and I love it =D.

Great clip Sam. Thx for your efforts and Review. Nice Little Saddle Tank. I want one, if only Hattons wasn't half a Planet away..!!😣 Cheers kim in Oz.😎

Hi Sam. It's great to see another 040 it is beautiful but I like the caledonian blue but dont get me wrong Katie is nice but I like the blue. Looking forward to the live stream. Thanks Liam

Another great review Sam. A Barclay will definitely find its way to my layout very soon! I had one question for you though. What are some of your top tips for making an engine run as smooth as possible? So at a slow crawling pace the loco won't stutter and or stop. I've found that some of my brand new locos will stutter/stall at slow speed even after being run in for a few hours.

It’s crazy as I’ve been inside the cab of Katie as she used to be at a small railway in poynton she sat on a small length of track for years doing nothing you could walk up right next to her and go inside but since the miniature railway was renovated she was taken to another railway to be preserved

Out of all the locomotives this one would have to be my favorite because well it's the design and the red Livery just goes very well together

Having worked with Barclays, my opinion is that hattons have done a cracking job with this model. As someone who much prefers industrials to the big stuff. These are perfect for me!

Sam's growing faster in subs than most other youtubers. He should be able to hit 100k by the end of the year! Also quite an unusual video title sam!

It's refreshing to see a beautiful model with a proper mechanism. Was thinking about that quick operation issue. Might be worth converting it to DCC control and seeing if you can do some adjustments to the speed table to flatten the acceleration curve and limit the top speed, or have a slower acceleration curve thru the speed steps.

You convinced me. Just bought one in the Katie livery

As a subscriber, it is my duty to remind Sam about this mistake during every video so he never forgets

Just ordered a GWR green version as my first British prototype. Should be fun!!!

Katie brings back memories for me. She was on display at Brookside Garden Centre throughout my childhood. Can't wait to see her run again.

Hey Sam. Another great review. Can you do a piece on 'Stay Alive Capacitors' which sounds very interesting? Cheers

hi Sam...love this little gem...Also..i heard you mention about accessories - 'crew' - do you ever plan to put some little chappies in the cab for a bit of fun?? ...cheers

Lovely engine Sam It used to be a static exhibit at a garden centre in east Manchester until last year then it moved to the Churnet Valley Railway in Staffordshire.

I thought it said “happy birthday Katie”

Hi Sam I have an update about my class 45 from mainline Turns out 50% of its insides were missing so I got the Bachmann version and it works perfectly so now my old model will be the dummy car and on showcase

Very sad to see that Hattons is closing. I just ordered two of these from the last batch they're producing and am looking forward to their arrival!

I love that bright red color

Hey Sam. How is the railway. Nice little tank engine, hope you get more model trains soon. Ryan :)

Looks great - it might look even better with a bit of weathering. The trouble with fitting stay-alive or a dcc smart power pack to small locos like that is the lack of space. I did that to my Hornby Pug - it works much better but now the cab is crammed full of electronics!

Bought, I've been eyeing this for some time

Wonderful review Sam, this Barclay certainly is a stunner for such a little Loco, great stuff! -TheImperialDiamondSpinosaurus

You looked so happy at the start, I do like these locos but not this one cuz of the colour if it was a different livery then I would almost love it, thx sam, oskar

I hope to get that pack such a beautiful loco and the warwells is a very nice touch as well stay safe Sam cheers 🍻🍻

Thanks for the upload Sam, I’ll watch it in the morning. One question I would have is that for a special video in the future, would you ever wear a tie?

I think I'll get a the pack when I have a train set to use to run the loco and rolling stock cause currently I don't have model trains yet hopefully I can get one before the year ends

Did you get a new camera? The video quality is very good. I also like these reviews. I am planning to buy UK locos and wagons in the future

Awesome video today Sam beautiful locomotive I wanna get one lol and I got a brand new Thomas on Friday

Hi Sam I love that loco it is great! I just wanted to see if you could maybe look into doing a review the new busy bee James from Bachmann Thomas range. I loved your Thomas Videos and I love watching your channel.

Great vid sams trains! I’m moving to a new hobbie now! :) the rc car hobby. I had fun with the model train hobby but if been in the hobby since I was 4! I think it’s time to move on, gonna miss it! But I think I’m gonna have fun with the rc hobby! :)

What a unique colour especially the detail 🙂 also who finds it weird sam uploaded at night and not on Saturday at 5:30 PM 🤔 great review Sam 💪

You mention a keep-alive system a few times, and Bachmann USA actually has them pre-fitted on most of their newest DCC WowSound models, including their newest Decapods and Sc44 Chargers. So it's not completely unheard of in ready to run model trains, but might not be as necessary on locomotives that have a bunch of wheels like the Decapod.

That loco would look great on my planned 00 micro layout. Great value.

Nice one sam!

Hey Sam, I'm thinking of what locomotive I should get for Christmas and it's either the Railroad Tornado or the Railways B12, what would you get?

That's absolutely gorgeous. What a beautiful little engine.

I know that Britain is rarely actually rainy, but on a nice, rainy day, with a temperature of about 45-50 degrees Fahrenheit, I think that I'd kind of enjoy a ride in an open-cab steam loco, what with the firebox being right there and all; a ride, but not necessarily working - if I were the engineer or the fireman, then I would definitely prefer a closed cab on a rainy day. Of course, an open cab would be preferable on a sunny day, whether working or riding-along. I know that the folks at Rapido have had trouble with their packaging, protection-wise - maybe they could learn a thing or two from these Hatton's boxes. Never be afraid to explain a joke - there will always be someone who doesn't get it! RIP Hatton's Model Trains 1946-2024

the loco looks so amazing with those warwells

Katie is preserved at Cheddleton on the Churnet Valley Railway who are overhauling it and using it as a station pilot at Cheddleton.

I reeeeeeeeaaaaaaalllllyyyy want one of these

Sams videos are my excuse to stay up all night I think ive got a problem lol I love the liverie of this loco ive always been a big fan of tiny engines you should see who your tiniest loco is its probably the pecket Keep up the good work -TC5

Such a well made Barclay! I really like the livery on this Hatton's offering.I must ask,why do some manufacturers put coreless motors in their locos? I've had many versions of servos for the RC hobby including coreless.Cheers!

It must be very satisfying to just spring the buffers since they are so big

Haha there was a real one of these lying around on display at my local garden centre for years! Always used to go up in the cab because you could🤷‍♂️. Looked it up in the news, apparently it's been moved to another railway and is being restored to full running order! Definitely gonna miss the sight of it though 😢. EDIT: The loco was actually in that exact red livery and named 'Katie' also so I think it was the exact engine it was based off!

I do like them, but I've got a few loco's were points are an issue now.. don't need any more. The only motors I know that are better than the 5 pole's are the LGB 7 pole motors ( G - gauge) but in oo gauge, they are excellent. Great review 👍

I'd bought one, such a nice looking model. Sadly mine had a problem with the mechanism (worm wasn't engaging the gear at all), and there seemed to be another problem that made it difficult to remove the body from the chassis (the suspension thing wasn't glued correctly). It's on its way back to Hattons, looking forward to getting a replacement.

Have just ordered from Hatton

Bit of a funny time to upload At midnight Why am I still awake

Lets all give sam a round of applause with the best review voice and handling in the universe we live in and the beautiful locomotive he reviewed!

A very impressive locomotive. Those safety valves are superb .

Shouldn't the title be: Bargain Hattons Steam Train Pack | Barclay Katie | Unboxing & Review

I have an older model of the continental diesel train which I know you’ve reviewed but mine sparks when it starts i don’t know if it’s age or it was because it wasn’t used much

there were three main differences between Andrew Barclays 0-4-0s. these were classified by cylinder diameter, 16inch, 14 inch and 10 inch. I work on a 10 inch at railway I volunteer on but we had a 14 inch no 705 before I was a volunteer which hattons model in br and gwr green. sadly Hatton don't model the 10 inch but they do have do both 14 and 16 inch, Katie being a 16inch and the Caledonian one being 14 inch in think its great they make so many varietys I just wish they make some new livery now. any way great vid

The odd one out is the Tram! Also, considering how good this model was, I cannot wait for those genesis coaches that Hattons are making. They look superb!

Could you do a feature on stay-alive tech? Think that would be a very useful review to watch. Thanks so much for these reviews. I can almost hear the poor cordless motors weep in the corner....!

Shows what can be done for a reasonable price (ahem......Bachmann......Hornby.....Heljan). Nice one Hattons! Could you do a video on electrofrog vs insulfrog points and one on stay alive? Thanks. Awesome vid Sam :)

Hello Sam another great video like always I just like to ask you for your opinion on something I'm getting my first hornby train set and then after that I can get one locomotive and my choices are a terrier , Adams radial or a m7 dcc if you can give me your opinion on which one I should get

"Katie with the big buffers" *Oh my~* "My goodness those buffers are big" *_Oh my!_* That certainly could've been taken the wrong way. ;)

Absolutely Stunning little train

Sorry for my late view. I have found that one of my favorite train photo(that is from CP 9300 class "N.V.Allan&Co." narrow-gauge railcar from the 50's that is rusting off at Sernada do Vouga on the backyard of the Workshops) is the number 9304 that shold be scrapped in 1984 but... I think that someone have forgoten to do that....If you want the photo I can send it to you!
