I just have to tell you that my 3-year-old son is the HUGEST fan of your channel. He would watch all day if I let him! His vocabulary has expanded to rival the most dedicated train enthusiast's 🤣 He now has me creating makeshift packaging for his Brio trains so he can stage 'unboxings' just like you! Can't thank you enough for all the free babysitting 😁

Another request that I have would be a triple header with the Johnson 1P, The SECR H Class, and the Southern M7 pulling as many 4/6 wheel coaches as they could handle

I’d quite like to see more of salvage or scrap cos that was quite interesting :)

Rapido have produced a British loco that you've not reviewed yet. The 16xx. Available exclusively via Model rail. I would certainly love to see one of those reviewed. Excellent video as always

A replacement E2 smokebox door is very easy to make if you have spare, or can find cheaply, a Hornby Dowlais loco (search Hornby King George V 0-4-0 to see images of an example). A little filing is needed to fit the ridge on the back into the space on an E2, but they are the same size.

A daring one: a long doubleheader running over the whole layout with the switches set to drive as much track as possible. And a +1 for reviews of continental locomotives

Yay my request it was great thanks Sam Oh my god I have been a member for one whole year and 10 days P.S I know what I want next series so brace yourself

i suspect Sam is the one who makes the channel more possible, than his members and patreons and such. I am here to vicariously enjoy a hobby that has some hallmarks of things i kinda enjoy (technology, industry and tinkerer stuffs). So i accept no gratitude for my interLUDE. Tango is just not going to quit, rattling along defiantly.

Rapido locomotives are lovely.. i have 6 Rapido trains locomotives from the north American market., i have 2 c40-8cms , RDC-1, emd F40ph, emd sw1200, and a Montreal Locomotive Works M420..

I love it when your trains derail and then watch you start sweating by having to stretch out and correct everything! Love it!! 😂

Clicked as fast as I could when I saw broken Tango

Would love to see a nice HST, two power cars with a suitably long rake of coaches, at least six...probably a conventional request in comparison to some of the stuff you get!

Looks like you've changed the couplings on the egg vans for kadees or similar? I'd also suggest changing the wheels may help, since the flanges on dapol's are tiny. Wasn't expecting the Met Bo-Bo to run so terribly, since most of Heljan's diesels are good. And of course you're right, 71s are 3rd rail or DC overheads only and the Met Bo-Bo is 4th rail only (but a Met Bo-Bo would be possible to drag the 71, assuming the 71 had its shoes removed and was switched off, or vice versa). Thanks for running it. Funny that the whole body of the Queen Mary is larger than two of the L&MR coaches put together. I guess you didn't get my request from the 2nd last episode (S12E3 from 9th July) then. I have the receipt in my emails, so I defo sent it. I requested the ambulance train, can't remember which loco, because I was ill and stuck inside.

request the class 17 pulling the egg vans, lets see what causes problems first XD

How about an 0-4-0 challenge? 2 0-4-0s back to back, running in opposite directions, with a couple of wagons in between. Great video as always, keep up the good work.

There needs to be an "Underground Ernie" and other monstrosities edition.

I had an interesting thought. How about a train with as many railway specific liveries as possible, but no two from the same railway. Like, a BR engine, an LNER van, a GWR brake, etc. See how many obscure railways you have engines or rolling stock for, and put them all in one weird train.

Mightily impressed with my request for the Class 66 (to be fair, the Freightliner was my top choice) and its rake of wagons-a type of consist I run too! And thanks for the cheeky shoutout about the Merchant Navy, Sam-100% bought it because of your review. So thank you! (I got a BR one, unfortunately the blue was N/A)

I would say the tango and the 1361 are your favourite 2 locos Sam, as they definitely get the requests coming in 😃

Love the video. Hope we get at 10,000 subs

I would love to see a double header with both of the GWR Manor classes and a mix of the blood and custard coaches and the GWR genesis coaches.

Heljan and the cabbages at 17:23 where his front wheels came off. You know what Thomas reference that’s from! 😂

04:40 Thomas and Friends Scene: Spencer: COME ON RUSTY, GET FASTER! Rusty: I AM A SHUNTER! I AM A SHUNTER!

fun fact sam tangmere was the first ever steam train i saw on the mainline she was passing by nere where i lived in 2013 2012 ish i cant remember fully thx ben :)

Wonderful. Sam I also do hope that one day you could have your inspection glasses hovering deeply over the continental H0 brands (ACME, Brawa, Fleischmann, Liliput, Piko, Roco, Trix/Märklin, etc.); getting those niggles and shenanigans through your process of thorough inspection. It would be most lovely :)

Agree with you on Rapido. Very impressed. Got one and another on pre-order. Quality stuff :D I'm not familiar with their UK offerings but if they're like the ones we get here in Canada they'll be stellar. Good company, too.

A nice mixture of Rolling Stock & Locos!!! 🙂🚂🚂🚂

Ig to explain it (logically, not with the models, that’s probably the gearing), the A4 is only a 3-cylindered loco compared to the Duchess, which has 4 cylinders; and since the LMS mainlines were more twisted and steep than the LNER’s comparatively flatter mainlines, the A4’s had the optimum chance of obtaining the steam speed record compared to the Duchesses, even when the Duchesses were stronger. Edit: Also the driving wheels on the Duchess are slightly larger at 6 ft. 9 inches (nice) compared to the A4’s 6 ft. 8 inches

Thank you for finally doing my request I thought you forgot about it because you never read it out. That wheel spin on mallard and the jerkiness of the trucks bumping into each other was entertaining

I got one. Your USATC s100 racing your Class 07 Diesel Shunter, pushing 10 cars, roughly same weight. Running parallel to each other.

Sam if I had all of those trains I would be pooing my self with joy and excitement

You know, now that you’re venturing into the art of painting/weathering, the Tango would be an ideal test loco to do it on😏😉🙃

Right, this is going to be very detailed, but you have - a Stanier 2cyl 2-6-4t on a local, a Duchess on a sleeping car express, and a Princess Royal piloted by a Jubilee on an early morning express. The local is in the station, when the late running sleeping car express passes a signal at danger and runs into the back of the local, just as the double headed early express is passing on the opposite line. The choice of manufacturer is yours. Cheers Bob

The bloopers at the end made me laugh out loud. However.... Sam has suffered no end of railway disasters. Yet, enough about things going wrong, I don't want him to end up hating me. This is a story about the young man getting scared. We all get scared of something sometimes. He hasn't yet done so in reality, but Sam decided to buy a pair of unpainted 4-plank wagons from Dapol. (Not the ebay bit like I've done.) Placing them on the inside track, he attached a light grey LNER Guard's Van at one end and his Ghost Peckett steamy at the other. He jumped back in shock. What had he gone and done? The answer? "YIKES!" he shrieked, terrified out of his wits. "I've created the one thing I'm scared of: a ghost train!" It was true, he had. There was no way out of it. To make matters worse, he walked backwards and pressed himself against the light switch. The loft was plunged into semi-darkness! Oh no! He watched the ghost train running along the track, white as a sheet. Typical. "I wish it was just a dream!" wailed Sam, having realised it was too real. He switched the lights back on, only to have the bulbs explode on him. Not what he had in mind. He switched everything off and fled down the ladder. The Ghost Train was there inside his mind.

No 1361! That's what I thought your least favorite steam engine is or at least the one your most likely to cook on the stove

Please run a j70 with a lot of brakevans!

looks like the two pocket rockets were able to keep the troublesome trucks in line!

I'd like to see a race between all the worst locos you have to see which one is truly the worst out of all of them :)

lovely videos Sam, hope you keep this going for many a year.

Sam Yesterday I went down town to see the Up Big Boy . I'm very impressed the Locomotive is 85 ft long( 26 m) and with tender it is 132 ft (40.234 m) Wheel arrangement of 4 8 8 4 ad the tender has 12 wheels. So Sam do you have a Big Boy to run?

6:35 So it seems that the course of history has been changed today :))). Awesome video Sam and thanks for taking my consideration into account!

Never a bad video when the J70 comes out for a run.

I noticed the newly re-sprayed box van was running and it looked good

My request is simple, their polar opposite’s actually. I would like to see the smallest engine you have pull the biggest train possible (without giving it too much strain of course, i don’t want it broken!!) And the biggest engine you have pull 1 tiny bit of rolling stock. Thanks in advance, MMP877

could you do a 'small engine' running session like the Pecketts and the Pugs etc?

PLEASE do this request for next time!! Hornby Thomas with his face replaced with the smokebox door from a D class 0-4-0 tank pulling two non corridor lms coaches, and Percy with his face replaced with the smokebox door of an original hornby terrier pulling a rake of trucks.

sam:my STUPID tango broke down me:LOOl :D

Some lovely runners today Sam . . Cheers!

I clicked faster than the speed the hate goes up for the 1361 rip tango Amazing video as always Keep up the great work-TC5

The requests are always interesting. Surprised the 0,4,0s didn't derail. Great video.

love the LBSCR Tank Engine and Tender Engine

You have gota give it to heljan Tango has not actually broken yet and has done more miles in water than dry rails and that's saying something... But I agree with your points on tango but you also need to look at the positives

Sad the tango didn't die but at least we have the heljin class 1361 to make fun of, nice video by the way

I have a request for you Sam. Do a Freight double header with the Dapol GWR Mogul and The Martmartinson Models Dapol GWR Mogul pulling dapol egg vans and the Oxford rail gun.

Im still rooting for that one time i asked you to run the o gauge terrier

I would love to see a triple header with the c1 atlantic, A1 flying Scotsman, and hornby Henry. Henry’s old shape was based on the other two locos

Ha ha loved the bloopers definitely have more of them in future videos lol 😆

Here’s a request, do a double header with merchant navy Canadian pacific and east Astor lines with a rack of blood and custard mk1’s. Thank you

The only good thing I can say about the Tango is that it runs better than that Bachmann 9F. LOL!!!! I wonder if it'll outlast that Bachmann 9F? LOL!!!

Nice to end the video with some bloopers, Sam

I can think of a few things i can do with that tango *pull out chainsaw*

Hey sam I found some very old hornby coaches

Sam i have a challenge for you! repair the tango to YOUR standard!

Lovely video Sam.

17:04 NO ONE CLIP THAT WITHOUT THE ,,S”

how to ruin mallard speed record step 1: attach a 08 shunter while mallard is ready to move step 2: eat some popcorn

Sam's Trains: the Heljan Tango finally broke Me: Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah...!!

Your 3D printed and painted box van with the real ones behind Tangmere

another request your favorite diesel tripple heading whit your favorite steam and electric locos whit your favorite passenger wagons favorite cargo wagons and favorite brake car

The Tango should be tossed off the cliffs of Dover into the sea. Be sure to film that!

Love u this bud is great

AT MONROE VIRGINIA SAYING STEVE YOU ARE WAY BEHIND TIME- had to.

14:08 Yes, Yes It Was

Doubleheader e2 and j50 Pulling 9 Four-wheel coaches j50 In Front E2 at the Back Bunker first

Fantastic video Sam!

Broken down trains need either overhauls or new parts and did you know coca cola is my favorite sodas

i would like the D16 (of your choice) pulling 4 Pullman coaches

Seeing the very end of the video, ever thought about doing an OUTTAKE video. I should imagine there is a few laughs to be had .

I would like to see the Rocket (Your choice) with four egg wagons and a breakvan (Of your choice)

Awesome video today Sam beautiful request and I am so happy to be a subscriber

Great video! About those Pocket Rockets, how do you get both engines to run in the same direction? 🤔

Maybe you should try your hand with the heljan tango in salvage or scrap

Hi Sam for next Livestream please could you run the Garratt pulling all of your OCEAN wagons and a NE brake van at the end. Cheers.Lewis

Peak rhymes with Teak 😂

I have a question Sam. I have a Johnson 0-4-4 tank and a lovely model it is, possibly my favourite. Are there issues in what controller you can use with it? Can you use older H & M controllers such as a Duette or feed back controllers? I would be grateful for your response because the last thing I want to do is damage this loco. Thank you

I even have my own train set

Railcar/daisy: ItS BaD FoR My SwEaRVeS

Can you do a Gordon and Flying Scotsman double header LNER Based Express train? That will be brilliant in my opinion!

Hi Sam, how about a feature on the most over-represented trains in model form, beginning with Grizzly's A4 and Pullman coaches?

It would be funny if you did a peckett triple header

The day the Heljan Tango finally dies it will be a sad,sad day

Fabulous as always and entertaining as ever

this will be good

Love your channel, I like the fact that you try to complete requests by your subscribers, I would like to suggest a video to try as I am interested in how you achieve it. Could you show the controllers that you use and how you wired then to your tracks, I know this might be simplistic, but noticed you run with possible gauge master units is that correct Albert

As i understand it, a comment helps the algorithm.. So with that in mind, please find below one comment of varying quality. "Gee whizz! Trains and hauling and stuff' Cheers Hamster

Can this Tango loco be salvaged or scrapped, Sam? If so, then it would be ironic to see one of your models be salvaged or scrapped.

Is it possible for him to make a runaway train

Fantastic video! 👍🏻 I’d just like to ask: Are you considering reviewing the Hornby A2/3 ? Either in LNER apple green or BR green.

The O2 Tango should go to the scrapyard, Arry & Bert should take the O2 Tango with them.

All hail the mighty Tango 😈 Ha Ha!! You know it's going to go on for ever and haunt you all the while. Guess what... I have one as well now.
