I can only remember Sealink Liveried BR Mark 1s on the Stranraer Harbour to Glasgow Central service @ 1984. This service was normally hauled by a Class 47 in BR Blue. I also rode the Stranraer Harbour Boat Train (21.15 ex Euston). This was hauled by a Class 86 to Carlisle, a Class 47 to Ayr, and a Class 27 (although on the night I did it, it was a Class 20) piloting the Class 47, to allow the signalboxes to close early. But this was ordinary liveried coaches.

Hi, very good catalogue review, I was wondering what year the Ermewa chrome tanker wagons and the MRA tipping wagons were released, 2011 was a great year for amazing wagon in this unique hobby, it’s such a shame that manufacturing cost have spiralled out of control because manufacturers are starting it cost too much money to produce them at a competitive price now, the secondhand prices for the MRA wagons has doubled! I wonder how much Accurascale would produce these wagons for if that’s the case, apparently there was a few issues with them so Dapol sold them off very cheaply just to get rid of them, maybe if they developed them better they wouldn’t have such issues, this is what Hornby have done for years buy sell many products that have been underdeveloped and are then sold to customers to see if they can get away with it, this is very common now, thanks for sharing.

@StormmyStormmy glad this helped you get the year they were released, it's things like that is one of the reasons I'm doing these, so happy it's hit the mark 🙂 yes, it's a shame that although detail of the models has gone up, so have prices, but not always quality ! I read somewhere someone saying how come the likes of KATO can produce their models at a far cheaper retail price, and it was simply because they've got a large customer base, unfortunately over here, as prices have gone up, fewer people can afford, thus smaller and smaller production runs, and thus prices go up, catch 22 unfortunately 😔
@StormmyStormmy
@StormmyStormmy 9 күн бұрын
That was stating manufacturing cost, the manufacturers are there to make money first of all and as much as possible, if the profit margins aren’t there there’s no point producing items that we would like on our layouts. Accurascale do runs of models instead of flooding the markets with their products then they gauge the response and popularity to see if a second run will be required, the only drawback is the wait for the item but any issues that occurred could be addressed for the second run, it’s a good idea in principle but model shop shelves would be empty and they would go out of business.

Ready to run trains were mostly sold to the schoolboy market and they were not much bothered about scenery. I know, I was one. Buildings and accessories were popular but the main concern was running trains. It was the older modellers that produced scenic layouts and they often built their locomotives and stock from kits (Wills anyone?) or from scratch. Meccano magazine did sometimes feature scenic Hornby Dublo layouts. It's pronounced Dub by the way, not Doob.

Another very interesting catalogue. My guess would be you’re right…the folks that run those classic/retro style layouts today are probably recreating the original look from back in the day. Full authenticity. The manufacturer’s adverts usually seem to showcase them that way too don’t they. Must admit, I think the ‘simplicity’ can be a very appealing aesthetic, somehow it just connects with my imagination. My own layout when I was a kid (very kindly built by my Dad) was fully scenic so I’m not sure where that connection springs from? Maybe I’m just simple minded 😂. Thanks for sharing mate 👍🙂

I just recently received and unboxed a clockwork train collection that included several PR457 clockwork tank locomotives like the ones on the first page. It did not include the cars or tracks, but I was able to run them on my code 100 gauge electric layout. The running session for them is a later video, but I also have a video of one of these I received earlier running on my layout.

The trains were OO scale but the track was HO scale. The original Hornby Dublo by Meccano Ltd made some strange choices. Their first 2-rail model, ,the SR R1 0-6-0T, had all been withdrawn by the tine the model came to market. I believe their last duties were as Folkstone Harbour bankers before being replaced by GW 5700 pannier tanks and that is the model that Honrby should have produced. Another odd choice was the Metrovic Co-Bo. Famous for working the Cricklewood- Glasgow "Condor" containerised freight but most people would never have seen one.. Their chronic unreliability saw them replaced by Black 5s until Class 24s could be provided for the "Condor". The Class 24 would have been a much better choice as they had a much wider geographical spread.and would have gone well with the Class 20 which was a good model. The Deltic was rushed to market before the livery had been decided. It was too short , some detail was incorrect and the first batch were produced in an uninspiring plain green livery. Best steam loco was the Bulleid light pacific followed by the 8F, the Castle and the BR STD 2-6-4 T. the A4 and Stanier pacific were long in the tooth and the N2 0-6-2T was crude.Super detail rolling stock was good Working breakdown crane was very good. A GW 0-6-2T 56xx class "valleys" tank loco was planned but never made it into production.
