Hi Dan. Great job buddy. Thumbs up thumped 👍 ....Pete....

Very enjoyable, and a nice unit. Wouldloved to have seen the full 8 car set.

Great videos, I like fixing things as well. One little tip I saw online.... when working with clip-on bodyshells I now use guitar plectrums and one corner is tapered to a feather edge and they are flexible and cheap.

Great as always Dan. I ruined my old Lima 4f Fowler a few months ago( this multiple edits)😊with mix of failing eyesight and an errant soldering iron. Same was going to happen to my 1978 HST 125 until I looked back at your Henry loco fix. A minor adjustment of the retaining clip I must have bent as a child and bingo. With the exception of a weakened magnet we are back on the rails. Thank you. She pulls four carriages and the dummy..though takes a lap or two to build decent momentum

Nice work there - I presume you've found the 4 VEP history on BloodandCustard? 👍 _8 VAB unit next perhaps....._ 😉

Great video Dan. Nice looking unit 👌 well worth the hard work. Keep up the great work 👍 thanks Dan

What a nice smooth runner. Congratulations on another triumph.

Very nice build dan, I can't believe hornby put traction tyres on on of there premium models 👍

Maybe you should start a Hornby VEP owners club! I spent this morning doing a difficult job. My blue VEP suddenly juddered to a halt, and the wires going to the power bogie had become detached! I had to solder on a new length of wire and put on heat shrink. The white wire goes to the connection point by the capacitor and the green wire goes to the pickups. I have found the VEP a troublesome model. The wires between the cars can break, in which case the easiest thing to do is replace the whole assembly. The latest VEP is a bit better, but inherits the foibles of its predecessor! A job you can do is to drill out the 1st Class compartment where there is a solid wall where there should be interior windows. This fault has been rectified on the blue and white VEP and the latest VEPs. Thanks for uploading.

Hi Dan Another great video i remember riding on them when they was in service Is that your layout you was using.
