Hello Oscar. Another great video, I enjoyed everything in it. Christmas 1971 there was a Davy Crockett locomotive for sale in the toy aisle of Woodward's ( a western Canadian department store chain, sadly they ceased trading in 1993). The 13 year old me thought it would be so fabulous to have that locomotive, but I had no means to buy that Davy Crockett. However, Christmas 1971 I did get some cool Tri-ang/ Hornby items from Santa Claus ( AKA, my dear old Dad). I was able to expand my layout. Dad told me years later he bought my Tri-ang/Hornby Yuletide presents from The Hudson Bay Company department store. Anyway, that Davy Crockett I lusted over at Woodward's in December of 1971 would have been old stock then! In Canada other department stores like Eaton's & Simpson-Sears also sold Tri-ang/ Hornby when I was a boy & tweener. Thanks again for another wonderful video.

Hi Oscar... great as always. It would be nice to have the Davy Crocett set running with the Lord of the Isles and Caledonian single sets. All similar vintages from the 19th century. BTW it's sometimes nice to use a TC flat car behind a rake of Davy Crokett coaches followed by the Old time caboose. I have seen this configuration in a few western films. It gives an excuse to include the latter vehicle as cabooses are only generally used in conjunction with freight and wouldn't ordinarily be tagging along behind a passenger only train. Just a thought. Sometimes I use the TC cattle cars with DC instead of the coaches. Their rustic appearance is in keeping with old western style train stock and the caboose works well them.

A good video on this one Oscar, not a huge fan I’d the loco as I have said a few times in comments on your video how fictional and transcontinental stuff isn’t of much interest to me, one thing with the Davy Crockett though I have noticed is it is quite a popular one for restoration on KZfaq, there are quite a few people who have done videos showing how they have restored this model, it’s overall a nice looking loco, very interesting colour scheme especially with the yellow wheels, quite interesting how they painted them and make them last, I have painted triang wheels but sometimes when I’m running the loco the paint just chips off and I have to paint them again, would be very interesting to hear where the Davy Crockett name for the loco came from, Davy Crockett was a former US representative so from what I can see nothing to do with railways or locomotives, I know there are other names out there for locomotives that don’t have much to do with railways but I do wonder why they chose that name, great video overall here Oscar.

Always wanted a Davy Crockett of the Western Loco as I knew it, especially as I used to watch “Casey Jones” as a wee boy . I think in reality the set had stopped production when the program was on , but I knew snout it becsuse there was a picture in the 1st edition track plans book .

Hi Oscar, Great rescue job on the two engines with speeded up footage of soldering technique 👍👏 Just a thought for those of us who wear Station Master’s hats or Engine Driver’s hats whilst playing trains,not me, would a Davy Crockett hat be appropriate here…maybe not. How many of your viewers remember who DC was 🤔 I was impressed with your homemade storage box, do you have a template, no problem if inconvenient. Dodgy video plan made a great success 👏

That's the plungers smacking into that first uncoupling ramp, and intriguing they don't hit on the second ramp. I'm kind of thinking it might be worthwhile to see where exactly the plungers are hitting; it may be the plastic has warped slightly and catching a plunger collar. Hate to see damage happening to either of them. I'd be a tad worried that either the plungers is eventually going to either split, or the castle will come to a sudden halt. Does your 8f do the same? IIR your castle plungers weren't lined up the best and barely touching the centre rail. Also almost a bit telling of dublos inability to grasp the modern image. Look at that triang type 3, or even the brush A1A, and then look at the dublo type 2 co-bo. I appreciate the dublo co-co and deltic were shortened, but even they looked like a rather cold plain diecast body. And tbh, it's not a drawback of the body material, the contemporary märklin products seemed to look glamorous enough

I was astonished to read about the huge amount of unsold Co-Bos Dublo had in stock and the very slow rate they sold at in 1964. Not good for cashflow leading to Hornby asking Triang to buy them out in 1964. Something like twenty years would be needed to sell how many were made.

@johnd8892 wasn't it an eye opener. I can understand meccano wanting to use the co motor bogie on another subject, and with the type 1 already done (the bo-bo) and the express passenger diesel (the deltic) the usefulness of a middling diesel would be attractive. But such a poor subject, with the generally aesthetically pleasing EE type 3, or the Brush type 2 could've used the co motor bogie, even the NBR 600 series Warship could've been a more viable proposition. I also think the execution wasn't anything spectacular, it's obviously hollow diecast body with rather chunky cast details. Basically a fairly unappealing model of an unappealing prototype. I know we're all well aware of this, but really, dublo meccano should've been a little more in tune with aesthetic appeal. It's almost like product development just skimmed through the dumpy book of British Railways went to the diesels chapter and found the first thing with a 6 wheel bogie and thought we'll make it. Which is quite a shame as before the war and immediately after dublo were quite good at picking a prototype to make that was appealing, but it's like they ended up floundering with no eye on what's good. By crikey tri-ang were leaving dublo in the dust by the late fifties/ sixties. Britannia, A1A diesels, type 3's, blue pullmans, lord of the isles - everything they were producing just looked good

@@muir8009 I found what I responded to a question of three years ago about why Wrenn did not reintroduce the Co-Bo and AL1 electric: Wrenn likely had access to the Hornby Dublo sales figures for 1964 with only 130 Co Bo's sold out of 3150 made. Even Tri-ang only sold 605 of them by the end of 1966. So Wrenn likely thought not worth setting up for the more complicated mechanism. The demand for these is more recent, now they are hard to get. I have seen an interview where Richard Lines of Tri-ang was very scathing of the Tri-ang experience of the CoBo. unlike the Barnstaple. Triang did make use of the AL1 body but not the one off Dublo single axle drive system using traction tyres. Oscar has several video with the Tri-ang AL1 R.753 running under the catenary on his old layout. Not the complete reason for the demise of Hornby Dublo, but an example of the widespread over production far in excess of sales. All this over production is now very desirable items, but that did not help them sixty years ago. Can you imagine someone saying to them then to just hold on for twenty to sixty years then the stockroom inventory would be sold.

I remember many years ago when I was a little lad, I remember there was a song played on the radio called Davey Crocket, I can't remember the name of the gentleman who used to sing it.? Nice to see this locomotive and it's coaches running on the layout. Great to see class the 37 and the Bristol Castle running with their lovely coaches. I couldn't hear any noisy music Oscar so no problem.

The earlier shot of Davy on the rolling road 7:53 shows some resistance between the valve gear and the red cylinder block so that the red part was moving slightly. Looked to still be some unwanted movement after the body was put back on 9:44 ? Could be something a bit tight on either side!

Good morning Mike there is a little movement in the cylinder block even when the body is back on the chassis. It does not appear to be clamped firmly in position by the bodywork its clipped onto the chassis and seems to always have free movement 0341 there is no tightness in the conection rods/valve gear. I'm unsure if this is how it should be straight from the factory or is as a result of wearing tear. Thanks again for looking. Oscar

Hi Oscar, I have always regretted not owning a Davy Crockett or the old time coaches.. Maybe I will still find one that I can afford on-line? Isn't it always the way? hiccups occur just as you are ready to "show" something.... Nice repair work though.. I'll bet that a similar repair would have been more difficult to get to, on a newer loco..Ha-ha.. Marvellous to see these "icons" of model railway collecting in action.. What a nice sound too? I still thing that the actual motors sound better than the "manufactured sound" on chips in locos nowadays? Not as realistic, but "better" somehow? I guess that I'm just too old to appreciate the new tech? Thank you for the video... Rob

Morning Oscar, well that was a bit of nostalgia, I was 12 when Davie Crocket came out oh did i want one, but alas it never happened. Looks fantastic running around the layout, I've got the song going around my head now "king of the wild frontier".The green diesel electric is a nice looking engine and pulling those maroon coaches it makes a nice train. Yesterday I had delivered "Nellie" but its the new one Hornby have produced as part of their 60th anniversary at margate. I'll keep looking for an original but only when I find the one I want. Thanks again Oscar I know it you put a lot of effort into making these videos, and we do enjoy seeing them. Take care, Eddy xxx

What a super video! I've spent the past month building two Cartic-4s in N-gauge (I have 2 already that I built back in 1983!). The 'Real things' were in permanent 4-car sets; the bogie centres are all identical, which means the 'inner' cars had to be a bit shorter than the 'outer' cars. The Tri-ang OO version is a nice representation of the 'outer'. I think if Tri-ang had produced an accurate (or matching) 'inner' and sold it with one bogie, modellers could have created a real 4-car set as they could afford it... or even made longer ones! The 'real things' were used mainly for transport of new cars, but a few did go into 'Motorail' service as illustrated in your video. Thanks for giving Dave Angell a mention - he was my neighbour at one time! Cheers - Kev E.

Hi, great to hear you got yourself this great locomotive and had the operating ore set for Christmas in 79 an exciting accessory to get with hours of play value, as you say, they do eat up quite a bit of space on the railway, I managed to fit one in as a branch off the elevated section on the last railway, but eats up a huge amount of space trying to get a rail to run back underneath, but they do look great. I would like to get one in on the next railway, but I suspect once I've managed to fit in a suspension bridge I may be running short on practical space, these also eat valuable space. All the best.

Hi there are two radius of track for Hornby Dublo 3 Rail these numbers are approximate. There is 15 inch and 17 1/4 inch. I believe this may be measured to the track centres and the track is approximately 1 1/4 inches across its template base so with the two radius available you would easily be able to get a circle of the small radius 30 inches and possibly just squeeze in larger radius making a circle of 34 1/2 inches I believe the chat geometry allows for approximately 1 1/2 inch between the track bases in a curve if you were to run the two side-by-side so there is no conflict with rolling stock. Thanks for looking in Hope the information is of some help. Oscar

Hi Oscar, what a great collection of all the different Ore wagon variations...The loco is very interesting as well .. What a well designed chassis to navigate all of those coupled wheels around the sharp 'Series 3' curves and points.. It's almost a pity not to have an ore unloading bridge on this layout, but you are right.. They do take up a lot of space? zvery nice to see the Dublo freight running at the same time.. From the distance that the video is taken at, I would never have picked the wagons with wooden bodies? They still looked good running with the tinplate ones.. It goes to show that superfluous detail is lost with a bit of distance? I'll bet that nothing is broken off of those 1950s wagons after all these years either.. A very enjoyable video..

Good morning Oscar, it's Martin from Hull in the East Riding of Yorkshire. Just watched your excellent video of the 9F pulling the hopper wagons, it was clever of Hornby to change the hopper wagons into grain wagons by adding a top piece to the wagon and adding ladders to each end. They probably did that to a lot of wagons over the years. But it is still nice to collect the different types and colours of the wagons. It's always a great pleasure to watch your Sunday videos Oscar, Sunday wouldn't be the same without you and your amazing railway. Well as always it's time for my cup of tea and a toasted tea cake.

Good evening Martin thank you again for looking in and a belated happy birthday, hope you have a great day. I think you're right they did like to try and adjust existing models to make different ones and get the most out of a mould or a chassis. All the best. Oscar

@@oscarpaisley Hello Oscar, thank you for your birthday wishes, I am now 69,wow, although sometimes I feel 169 Lol. Well we have just had the General election! and i was just thinking, imagine if there was a chance to vote for the best model railway in the UK I would most definitely be voting for your railway Oscar. Well it will soon be Sunday and I am looking forward to video. The best thing for me on a Sunday is tea, toasted tea cake and your wonderful video. Keep safe Oscar and best wishes from Hull in the East Riding of Yorkshire. 👍🚂
