Beautifull gracefull Edwardian Design. Another elegant 4-4-0 and this wheel configuration says every thing about the Era, when people took time to respect, dress and promenade.

I got me a T9 as a direct result of having seen Sam's Review, of it. Absolutely fabulous. Thank you, Sam.

I find 4-4-0s such cool-looking steam locomotives, especially coated in my favorite color 💚 Man, sometimes I would think that if only _Thomas & Friends_ hadn't got canceled, there would've been time for yet another steam engine character with the same chassis just like the T9 and be named after me to make an appearance in the show and work his arc purpose of how useful he could be. That splendoriffic sort of engine would look like Edward, only his name is mine: Isaiah.

Great southern video! Your railway has really come on, I watched a vid from 2 years ago and it has massively improved! :)

1:27 I love that kind of packaging!

great video mate :) she's definitely a stunner , just a shame about that traction tire! - all the best :)

Hi Sam, very nice review of an excellent locomotive, I think some of the "Super Detail" locos are beautiful...Simon

Hi Sam, great video of a super model I am loving the green livery on your T9 special edition. It goes so well with those southern coaches, the colour matching is great. I've had issues with that fiddly packaging myself, got an A3 in that style of box and it's a faff getting her in and out. I think someone got this already but odd one out is presumably the 4MT, a BR built class but having a southern paintjob. Not prototypical but it looked good. Cheers, Luke

And time for some trainspotting, i saw your: Triang Drummond M7 0-4-4, Your wrenn R1 0-6-0, your Hornby bullied pacific, your Bachmann U boat 2-6-0 I think, Bullman of course, your Bachmann lord nelson class 4-6-0, Your br/lms fairburn tank 2-6-4. The odd one out was Your BR/lms fairburn tank 2-6-4. Great vid SAM :)

The T9s are such a cute design!

You're very lucky to have such a fantastic and rare locomotive. Can't wait to see another request video.

Model looks awesome! Once again another top notch video my friend :D

Great video I love the detail of the Loco. I just got back for a tourist railway in my area it I really enjoyed my vist

Another cool video mate, i have actually seen a T9 no.30120 at the Bodmin and Wenford railway.

That's some box Sam! And I love that tender. It looks great without axel boxes, very striking. Oscar

hey Sam, I had a T9 and luckily it was one of the ones that didn't have difficulties with the motor mount. be wary of the tender wheels though, and indeed the underframe; the central two sets of wheels don't always turn, and the tender chassis detail is easily broken. also be careful with the wire, it's very easy to snap. enjoy the model though- t9s are lovely when they run and I regret getting rid of mine as it turns out, after a bit of research, it would have run around Hastings area where my layout is to be set! you live and learn, Alex

I'm not used to tender engines having their tender wheels showing. But that livery has to be one of my top favorites.

Haven't heard of this one, though she looks great, another great review Sam! I would like to the that really fast Stephenson's Rocket you own pulling bullman ahaha

Great video Sam!!!!!

neat video on this exclusive!

It's a beautiful model! It's a good thing one is preserved! It used to live on the Bluebell Railway, but now it belongs to the National Railway Museum! I think the Bluebell Railway is a better place, especially since it's the only member of the class preserved.

Your'e a hard man with the ratings Sam , 9/10 for detail Tut Tut . lol Great review of a lovely loco .......Peter

Number 30119 was the Southerns royal engine which was why she was the only T9 painted in malachite which she carried until withdrawal in December 1952, oh and the reason the tenders were called watercarts was that they leaked abominably!

Nice loco and review there mate. excellent detail, especially in the cab. I'm with you on the packaging, think it's a bit of a faff. ironically theres a chance of knocking detail off inadvertently getting it out of the box, not ideal on such a loco! super review

It looks like you and me are on the same wave length Sam. SNAP 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟It looks like i have acquired a cracker. I hope my IRON HORSE runs like that. Great video Sam. Merry Christmas. 🚄🚅

Could i give you a bit of info on this engine Sam,it was built in 1899 at nine elms works,has part of 66 built by Dubs or the LSWR,known has Greyhounds by their crews,on account of their free running abilities,119 was often rostered for royal or v.i.p.duties.So in 1935 it was selected has the southerns royal engine and was repainted with extra lining and burnished fittings,it remained in green through the war while the other 65 were painted black,at nationalisation it was renumbered 30119 but retained its southern green,with Bulleid sunshine lettering,has hornby has done it.The star on the smokebox is a throwback to scotland where selected locos got the adornment,has Dugald Drummond designed 4-4-0s for the NBR and Caledoninan before he came south,maybe someone suggested it! The engine was withdrawn from Dorchester Shed on 12-1952,and amazingly got an obituary in the Times,hope this is of interest Best Wishs keep up the reviews.

Wow 1899? That was almost nearing towards the 20th century when this loco was built. But beautiful old fashioned 0-6-0 locomotive with an unusual tender.

Yay this came out on my birthday thanks Sam 😊, I went to Didcot railway centre today to c the engines, oskar

yay its good to be back on your channel and nice video!:) dominik and i have a suggestion can you do a video where your two T9 Would pull a passanger train togeather please!

Nice video as always. I've always liked southern locos, not my favourite big 4 company, but I've always like there design, especially the bullied pacific and the schools

7:05 Wow what a fantastic cab! :0

10/10 this loco is one of the best I've seen since Silver Link

Thats a fine model there Sam, I dunno about those T9 Greyhounds over all though (the original locos) To my eye they always looked awkward, a bit squashed, the buffer beam at the front looked a bit short, never liked the look of stove pipe chimneys and the short boiler didn't help either, neither did all the latches around the smoke box door. But hey beauty is in the eye of the beholder and one mans meat in the next mans poison etc etc etc. (And remember I am bias, as a fan of the products of Swindon, those from Eastliegh are the loco's of 'the enemy' ;) GWR / LSWR was a bit like Spurs / Arsenal lol) Anyway good review of a beautiful model that really does capture the spirit of the original. Jon PS - Odd one out - the 4MT in the fictitious Southern Green?)

Well detailed engine. With the main instructions, they should advise how to pick it up / put it down without pulling off a pipe. I do like the malachite, you had a schools class one and a dark khaki one recently (funnily enough the dark khaki won me over at the end). Packaging - seems a great idea, wonder if it was only used for that limited edition? Good demonstration why tyres were not a good idea, yet they had front pickups. Maybe one day, they will have front pickups and not need a tyre. Alan.

Great video as always! Do you plan on ever getting the track off the floor and onto a proper layout? Would love to see it

Great review Sam I love all southern locos! Just wondering but can we have a day with bulied locos?

A beauty Sam. Saw Bullman twice, (13.02 "Moo..ves much better" LOL.) Not sure on the odd man out. Was the 0-6-0 tank No. 1127 a Western? Cheers, David.

I've just spent the day putting five drawers worth of Hornby locos back into exactly that packaging, in anticipation of a move. I'm ready to eat my own fingers.

I Love malachite green so much its so iconic even among lner garter blue.

What an elegant model. That said even if green is my favourite colour I do like the black one more just because of the lining, it looks astonishing. The engines are: H class, R1, Merchant Navy, King Arthur (S15), and the odd one out I think is the Standard 4MT? Anyway nice video Sam. Cheers Avi

Yay, another lovley southern!

Nice Model! It does look like Edward! Edward is one of my two favorite Thomas characters (along with James) Thankfully only one T9 is preserved (now operational). The T9 isn't the only preserved 4-4-0 that looked like Edward in UK, North British Railway "Glen Douglas" (LNER D34) 256 preserved in Riverside Museum in Glasgow, and Great Northern of Scott "Gordon Highlander" (LNER D40) 49 preserved in Scottish Railway Museum in Bo'ness have survived the scrapper's torch!

This might be your most delicate locomotive ever in the Hornby Railways range. I'm not sure about other delicate locomotives in the Modern Bachmann range though.

Hi Sam have you notice how with ex big four engines each section has different numbers what I mean is that the southern region has numbers like 3.... the midland region would be 4.... and the Eastern region has 6.... and the Western region has only the 4 numbers as the metal number plates are too expensive to just get rid of. And once again a great video👍

the flying scotsman has a big family I think I am gonna call him Carl 😁

#30119 was built by Nine Elms on August 31st, 1899 as London & South Western #119, later it became SR #119 in 1923 and it went under BR ownership in 1948, receiving the number 30119. It was withdrawn from service December 31st, 1952 and it was cut up at Ashford Works Scrapyard on February 28th, 1953 at the age of 53. Hey Sam, if Hornby re-did their thomas & friends range, do you think this locomotive would be the perfect basis for Edward instead of the D49 with the cylinders removed?

I pick my locos up grabbing it on the sides on the Runningplate

Those spring buffers are quite adorable... I don't know why lol

Hi Sam! I happened to notice that when the cow came into shot after the loco and the carriages around 13:00 mins, you said "that one's a superb runner, it's smoother, more powerful, much much better, Moo-ves much much better" Was that class joke intentional? ;-) Many thanks for your videos, I'm new to all of this and loving the whole thing, keep making the videos! all the best, Jamie.

the star is interesting. I've seen it on many steam engines but not on a model.

This engine is beautiful,reminds me of Edward but she is really a stunner!!!!! Dennis (my real name!)

Hey Sam that's One smashing train love the look of her!! how many exactly where made if it's a limited production??

Thank you for your reply I have emailed Hornby to try and find out what year they were made and did yours have a certificate with it

Hey Sam. I’m unsure whether to buy a Hornby T9 or the Bachmann City Class. Since you have both, which do you recommend? Which one is more structurally sound, which pulls more, which one’s faster, and which one is quieter?

Instead of all these reviews, lets have a total best loco's for the last 3 years, just a list, no talk or just little.

Love it uploading later if anyone wants to watch

Hi Sam Gorgeous as a box of Ferrero Rocher!

Drummonds finest. Superheating put the icing on the cake.

In my opinion the t9 is such a beautiful looking loco

Hi Sam, sorry I'm late mate. Cool video, it looks like Edward, just a bit more realistic. -Toby

"It moves great" XD the cow

done your polls nothing wrong with 9t the packaging I love I have a few like it it the best one yet I have the nrm t9 cost me £65 new your black one looks I'll hope you can fix it odd one I say navy but that is sr too

nice! where are these models produced? in GB?

I think this would have made more sense as the Edward Model, seems more like the show since (at least what I have head) Edward was maintained but also extensively modified over the years. Just change the tender to a fowler type and I think you'd have more of a winner....

I'm looking at buying a t9 second hand if you don't mind me asking what year is this hornby model from

Odd one out is the BR Standard 4 tank. Not a Southern Railway loco.

Sam you should run this with your city class and another 4-4-0 like that

are you ever going to do how to videos like how to weather engines?

If you think about it the t9 is basically just a longer k2

nice... I have a DCC sound layout. shall I send you a link when I put up a video?

I believe the LMS Royal Scot at 14:21 is the odd one out.

Is the BR Green loco at 14:25 the odd one out?

The t9s are nice aren't they and yes I do think they are very fragile:)

That engine reminds me of the fameus train on Thomas and friends

I have just received one of these limited edition engines from my wife for my birthday and I am over the moon with it not sure if I will run it or put it up in the cupboard with my other special engines What year did Hornby released these engines and should they have a limited edition certificate with them And what makes this model a limited edition compared to the regular version

This model could be made into Edward the Blue Engine with a bit of modifications to the cab and six-wheeled tender.

6:55 dont you mean on the Black one Sam? ;)

the T9 is Drummond's most famous designe

what is the running board made out of?

It was standard 4mt class

Every locomotive is the U.S.A. is left hand driven. The engineer's side of the cab is on the right.

now that's what I call a loco!

I spotted 4 counting the bullman

There were some rather cute looking locos made in Britain.

At slow speeds the middle two tender wheel stick and don't run ?

Is the 4mt the odd one out

i just wanted to ask you to do this one

Hey sam,s trains that looks like a K2

Damnit Octacon, Quit messing around with the Codecs.

I wonder do you like steam locomotives or diesel locomotives 

My wife got it from a hobby shop I took it back and they had another one so I took that one home only to find out that it is the same motor runs but the wheels don't So back it went to and they sent them back to Hornby and they said they found the issue and I am now waiting to see what they are going to do about it as I want the engine because it's the one that my wife chose for me and I do like the look of them But have been told that I have to wait up to a month to hear what they can do about it (so won't get to use my birthday present till then) The detail on this engine is great but the build quality is very poor not happy with Hornby at all and probably won't buy another new Hornby engine again will stick with the old good quality engines from Hornby

Will you a saddle tank engine that looks like Wilber's from Thomas and friends?

It looks like edward

Correct me if I'm wrong but they built 66 engines in 3 years

Sorry Sam but I must ask, why not rate the details of the T9 a 10. I was surprised buy the amount of details.

You realize the T9 you got is the Royal Engine right

I see the t9 In green

ITS EDWARD'S BASIS YAY

Certainly the most complex packaging ever

Is it tender driven
