Greetings again Oscar! Another delightful video! The Tri-ang utility van's last outing was back in 2015, painted as Sir Winston Churchill's funeral van. This combined with the R.356 and a rake of Pullmans would give you a passable period recreation of the Great Statesman's final journey. Seeing this event on television is one of my earliest memories. Keep up the great work!

A spectacular start to Sunday morning today Oscar. Loved the Winston Churchill with smoke charging round the layout with the Southern coaches. What a joy to see so many trains running together. Thanks for sharing. Roy.

Another great start to Sunday Oscar. There is a trick to make those smoke units more effective using paired diodes on the feed wire to the motor, (nothing big 1N4001 will do). Wire two diodes in parallel, one facing the opposite way to the other, (this is needed to let the motor run in both directions), between the feed wire to the motor and the pickup wire. This will reduce the voltage to the motor by about 0.7v, whilst the smoke unit gets a direct feed, not through the diodes. The more diode pairs added in series, the more you reduce the voltage across the motor. You can also use Baby Oil instead of expensive smoke oil. It works just as well, costs less and smells even better.

What a lovely model that Spam can is! I think it has to be one of the nicest Triang locos with a wonderful representation of those Bulleid sintered wheels. It looks superb with the SR liveried coaches and the Utility van. Fabulous multi train running session and a great fade out at the end with the lovely sound of that motor. Regards, Antony.

Another great video with a strong Southern Region theme, I’m impressed that the ‘Southern’ influence has reached up into the far flung North East of England! The ‘Winston Churchill’ locomotive was a brilliant offering by Tri-ang back in the mid 1960s and was issued not many months following the death of the great man himself… The Tri-ang ‘Winston Churchill was a huge commercial success, how could it not be at a time when Great Britain was still a fervently patriotic country with the WW2 finished just twenty years before. The ‘Winston Churchill’ model stood out from all the other Tri-ang model locomotives at that time and it still is a real classic of that period. Thank you for another excellent video.

That was fun. The Winston Churchill was smoking quite well even at moderate speed. Quite a treat to see it working so well. Fab running session and I do agree about having trains running in opposite directions but it can get a bit frantic. 😊

I love this steam locomotive. It's one of my favorites ❤❤❤❤❤

That was a very impressive running session!

Good morning Oscar. You have a real talent for capturing on video the results of building your railway and rolling stock. The Seuthe smoke unit was an interesting accessory before Synchrosmoke became available.

Lovely old Triang locomotive, I prefer it in southern livery. Love the period model railway. Cheers Oscar..👍🏻

Hi Oscar great video lovely to good running I have the great man's funeral coach just waiting for the loco to turn up at the Wright price cheers

Brilliant display Oscar.😊 Real model trains !! These bring back so many memories for me. With the sounds these created there was no need for dcc sound.Great stuff !

I think that perhaps this was the best Sunday morning running video from you ever Oscar. Classic trains and all so well behaved. I was transported back to Waterloo and the great hustle and bustle of the heydays on BR southern region. As a ten year old in 1960 it was all confusing magic, you brought that feeling back today. I've never had a Winston Churchill, another one to watch out for. Regards, David.

Wow what a spectacular session!! Many thanks for posting. Every aspect of your railway demonstrated; perfect for my friend who’s just getting into the hobby. So much more successful than the error strewn session I attempted last night on my layout 😂

What I like Oscar is how you get so much out of running all old school trains without the need for all this dcc stuff and all the information you give. Especially liking the southern theme 😎👌☕️

Wonderful memories.. I love the sound of the DMU. How nice to see this group running together? I never realised what a large hollow body that the Warship class had? A look for smoke down the funnel, and you see straight through to the track.. No wonder they have a different sort of echoing sound? Great runner though. Thanks again Oscar, for another trip down memory lane..

The Winston is one Triang's greatest moments. It is such a true model considering how early it was in the range. And a powerful loco too. I have two, one a little better condition than the other, but both running well all these years later. Can easily manage 10 coaches. Great video.

Some great shots of your Layout @ the beginning Oscar!!! @ 10:01 - Don't worry Oscar - probably some one spilt there cup of Tea / Coffee over it!!!🤔 @ 12:10 SMELLYVISION Oscar SMELLYVISION!!! lol 😄@ 16:34 - Yes I heard that Oscar - Looks like the flanges on the wheels didn't like the points for some reason looks like!!! A Very good running Session Oscar - Thanks for sharing!!! 🙂🚂🚂🚂

Yes Oscar , weather being appalling rain ☔️..where I am in Sutton Coldfield..

Hello Oscar, it's Martin from the East Riding of Yorkshire, another great video to start my Sunday morning with. It never fails to give me great pleasure to see your trains running round your amazing layout. The memories come flooding back of my railway childhood. As a young lad my parents used to take me to Scarborough on the east coast and I remember there used to be a model railway layout above the amusement arcade, so my parents took me up to see it. All I can really remember now, after all these years is the sound and smell of the trains continually going round the layout, and i was so thrilled to see all the different types of locomotives, coaches and wagons. I am fairly sure that the layout would have been Triang Hornby as I would have been about 9 or10 years old, so that would have been about 1964 or1965 ?. With the passing of time I've forgotten times and dates. But that was always great to see every time we went to Scarborough ( and we always went there by train as well. ) But to get back to your wonderful layout Oscar, sorry, I do ramble on a bit when I start talking about railway memories. It was great to see the Battle of Britain class locomotive, or as they used to be called, spam cans. I always think that the buildings on your stations are the best ones that Triang Hornby ever made. Your green three car emu looks amazing going round the layout. Are there any particular items that you are still looking for Oscar ? Either rolling stock or buildings ? Well thank you once again Oscar for showing me your truly awesome layout. Well now it's time for my tea and toasted tea cake as I watch your video again. Keep safe Oscar and have a good week ahead. 👍🚂🚃

Morning Oscar, Great intro footage and running session. I quite like running in the same direction but not all the time. Re smoke fluid I tried some vaping fluid, not that I use it, and it worked quite well. If anyone is interested it was rhubarb and custard flavour 😂, still needed a fair bit of power though. The 7th edition catalogue is my earliest and a bit fragile. Great to see all the trains running 👍

Good morning Oscar, enjoyed seeing the Winston Churchill having a good run, that is a good train and with the baggage coach. That's the coach I've got dates back to either 1958 to about 1960. My grandson Alfie loves playing with this model for the reason of the opening doors, although its not the best running on our track because of the plastic wheels thick flanges. But we love this coach. Unusual to see you running with smoke! I've two engines with smoke Princess Elizabeth and a B12. And Alfie loves running these as he says they look so real. But again I did at his age. I do love the sound of the EMU running, it's those ribbed wheels, it does sound to me like a powerful electric motor. Nice one Oscar, good Sunday morning session. Take care, and I'm sure when I show him the video a excited Alfie. Eddy Xx

Your spoiling us with the southern region locomotives recently aren’t you Oscar, the EMU last week and this Winston Churchill this week, no complaining from me though, I have really started to like the southern region locomotives and stock, 7P5F is the power classification of the locomotive, 7P means it is a very good passenger locomotive and 5F means that it is also a very capable freight locomotive, it also shows that it is a mixed traffic locomotive and in fact because it’s a mixed traffic locomotives that’s the whole reason why these were built in the first place, because it was wartime when these were built the conditions meant that no new passenger only locomotives would be built so in order to get these locomotives built Oliver Bulleid when he presented the locomotive said it was a mixed traffic locomotive and that’s how he managed to get them built, some say it was him being a bit sly with how he got this order of locomotives done, an overall great model there Oscar and nice to see the smoke as well, keep up the great work Oscar.

Built in Britain , don't see that very often if at all now

Hello Oscar, another nostgic video and regarding the nomenclature you mentioned i do not claim expert status but locos had various classification on them for what they were suitable for . As and example the BR standard 2 10 0 was a 9Fso for the heaviest frieght. Jintys were a 3f so much less of a load. Passenger locos had p classifications to typical a 7P or 8P like a duchess. Of coursexBR classified locos with two classifications such as 7P6F. The Hornby Dublo 8F is another example. The rai Ways also use thngs like 5MT etc, this is fixed traiffic so normally in lined black Hope that helps, please do not take what I say as 100% correct, my white lab coat and plastic classes didnt make me a boffin or expert.

Good morning to you Oscar from Glasgow another great video from you Sir I've got a couple of the Spam can's in my collection of to Model Rail Scotland in Glasgow Been working at the Show for the club doing stwrding

67/6d will be £3.38p now.

Thanks Oscar. Love your videos. Do you have a video wiring up your isolation sections? Thanks David

Hello oscar what is your oldest locomotive

Hi Oscar, My Winston Churchill (New in 1961) needs new nameplates. Do you know where I might source a set? Best Regards, Tony.

hi Oscar has anyone ever modified the smoke unit so that it does not need so much power to smoke therefore the engine does not need to go round the layout at top speed
