Excellent running session love the nostalgia keep them coming

The rhythm of the wheels running on track makes a sound that grabs the imagination. We don't need DCC. Thanks again, Oscar!

Wow so much Southern region green, my dream setup! Best session for a long time thanks 👍

So this EMU came out during the Big Freeze of 63? I was seven then and thought being cold was normal... I was so fixated on Hornby Dublo! Thanks again Oscar.

Excellent again Oscar.

Hi Oscar ,superb I really like that model ,the class 501 used to work the north London line and Watford DC lines sharing in part the line with the bakerloo line and on the north London line the district line between Gunnersbury and Richmond now part of London overground ,when new they worked on a four rail system like the tube so your model looks good on the three rail very authentic mate ,wrenn was going to rerelease it before they closed down that would of been great I’m sure someone has the mouldings be good to have a run of this model ,shame triang didn’t take it on ,😊 All the best Mark 😊😊

Good evening Mark, thank you again for watching and the terrific information. I used to go to Gunnersbury Park quite a bit as a child, they used to rent rowing boats on the pond there. Also hotdogs and 99's from the café the Sun always seem to be shining, but didn't get to travel on the trains. Would've been a nice model if Wrenn had got around to it especially in maroon livery. All the best. Oscar

Good morning Oscar ,a really interesting video with emu,s running , very enjoyable .Thank you .

What a wonderful Hornby Dublo item. Lovely to watch. Best regards to you

Nice Video. Green ends are quite rare and all green cab ends particularly rare although replica 3 D printed cab ends are available (the green cab ends lack the moulded line for positioning the yellow panel) I agree they are over engineered but that makes Dublo wonderful I think. Its interesting that although the model is numbered and sold as a Southern Region unit its actually based on a London Midland Euston to Watford electric unit not a southern one. You have a nice 3 rail box there as well. The driving trailer was only available in the red box (or if you find in blue it would be worth a mint!) Great model and video thanks .

Indeed, the green (non driving) end version is really rare, this is one of only a handful I've actually seen, all of mine have black ends - 2 and 3 Rail. One of my favourite models, they seem to run so quietly and smoothly.

@@forrestrobin2712 A number of years back a manufacturer of replica Dublo items, Coopertrains, manufactured a copy of the Dublo EMU in maroon as a number of Dublo enthusiasts had asked the same question. However, the prototype Class 501 units, which the Dublo EMU is based on, was always a green train even though it ran on the LMR.

Another great start to Sunday Oscar. I really enjoyed seeing the SR suburban trains running around the layout. Some good investigation work at the end. Thanks for sharing. Roy.

Hi Oscar, great to see the EMUs out in force, evoking the hustle and bustle of peak hour at a bigger station. I'll be looking out for a 2 rail version for my layout with the centre coach thanks to your interesting review of the model. As a few of your other viewers have mentioned they are expensive, but definitely a lovely addition to the layout . All the best Guy

Good afternoon Guy, thank you again for looking in glad you enjoyed the footage. There's something about them being partly made of plastic and partly metal along with the interesting detail printed on the template on both variations, do make quite a lovely sound in operation. Hope you're able to find a set of these great looking models for your collection.. All the best. Oscar

Hi Oscar, I always like the low level, close up footage in the intro. Great running session and interesting trouble shoot on the variable radii. Knitting patterns and model railways are not compatible so spontaneity wins the day. The running plan is always scuppered by something apparently more interesting 👍 😀

A really nice Southern region themed video there Oscar with the two Dublo EMUs, the Triang unit and the Battle of Britain Pacific two! Dublo models are very substantial items aren't they? The three rail EMU does sound fabulous clattering over the points and is almost prototypical with it's third rail pickup! Regards, Antony

Good morning Oscar. What a lovely set of items. The dublo 3 rail items of EMU must be quite a rarity. Nice to see all your versions running at once and see and hear the differences.

Gamages must have been where the model was first purchase from. I use to go up there Saturday mornings (They use to close at 1pm) when not at the Saturday morning pictures. I was only 10 at the time (on me own) to see their model layouts as per Steve's comment below. This was via the Central Line from Mile End to Chancery Lane.

Hello Oscar. Both the three rail and two rail versions run absolutely superb and I agree with you regarding the three rail sound, it is marvelous. I would be looking at a washer to raise the body on the two rail version. I liked the mix of running, all very plausible, nothing out of place or out of era. Another superb video, thank you. David.

Good evening David, glad you enjoyed the video. I hadn't intended to get the 2-rail EMU out but couldn't resist in the end... I shall look into raising it slightly with a washer or similar as you suggest and see how it looks. All the best. Oscar

The Dublo EMU-2 and 3 rail- sound smoother and quieter than the Triang one, much as I like the Triang one. The motor chassis on the Dublo one looks the same/similar to the class 20 type 1 Bo Bo diesel, which was also a smooth runner, and looks a very solid piece of engineering!

Very interesting running session with a busy Southern atmosphere. Thank you.

Gosh, those Hornby Suburbans run nicely? I think that I like their sound on the track much better than the Tri-ang EMU's power bogie knurled wheel whine? I have had so little experience with Hornby Dublo myself, and I never realized just how good that they are? I must admit that I had not given any thought to running the Hornby 2 rail on Tri-ang track? All of my life, I imagined that "never the twain shall meet" ? (Pardon the 'twain' pun) I couldn't resist thinking of a Tweety bird? I think that you need a signal of some sort, at the "stopping point" for the isolator on that top loop? I'm sure that if I were driving, I would forget to stop in the right place? This has been a great video, although following 3 very similar green Suburban trains, has left my old brain a bit confused? See you next week...

Good evening Rob, thanks for looking in. It does make a lovely sound. It's quite hypnotic just by itself in the room. A signal is in the planning for the return loop, just need to get around to it. The base wiring to make it work is all sitting underneath and ready to go, if I got it right! I just need to place some signals in on the top side and support them on the side walls.. I had some sort of 3-D printed clip/support in mind, but as yet need to sit down and get on with it. All the best. Oscar

The 3 rail model runs really smooth and the sound - well it's the first time on your layout I heard the sound that makes it sound like a real train!! It's such a shame about the 2-rail, some pieces of thin electrical tape would stop the shorting, but not the catching.

Oscar - great running of trains as usual..if space permits why not change your points areas by adding a half straight as this would then get rid of the snake effect and reduce the likelyhood of a derailment?

Thanks Oscar, I would like a Dublo EMU, but they are a bit of a price,, I nearly bid on a quite marked version, and though I'm not too bothered about condition on some items, the money these go for I would prefer a clean one! I did pickup a Triang EMU power bogie quite cheap which turned out to be a good one, just neglected rather than run into the ground, so I managed to restore a motor less power car I've had for some time, as you say these have a great sound when they run. My Triang Winston Churchill is rather nice it needed new names when I bought it but it's lovely, it had no box so I keep it in a wooden case that once contained a bottle of 1953 brandy, just the thing really!

All the best. Oscar

Morning Oscar, what a beautiful model that suburban train set is. It runs very smoothly is remarkably quite. Really enjoyed this mornings running, it's been nice to see the the green of SR railway. Three quite lovely EMUs all running superbly, they are a credit to you dedication to these older models. Thanks for all you do and bringing them to us on a Sunday. Take care. Eddy xxx ps, really interesting to see you discovered the reason why you were getting the shorts, this is knowing your railway and picking up the changes of sounds well done sherlock. Is it possible to lift the bodywork with a thin washer just to give that extra clearance. Xx

A good video this morning Oscar, like the triang EMU this is a model I wouldn’t mind getting but not sure if I ever will get one of these hornby dublo EMUs, first it would have to be 2 Rail for me and looking online these are always quite expensive second hand with many being in the region of £150-£200, keep up the great work Oscar.

Good morning David, thanks for looking in the Dublo EMU is a lovely item, there seem to be a good number of the two rail versions, coming up for sale on a regular basis, but as you say, they do command quite price. Although compared to contemporary models, perhaps not too bad. Great to hear you enjoyed seeing it in action on the railway. All the best. Oscar

The 3-car set as shown in the catalogue was never actually produced. HD reduced it to a 2-car set to lower it's selling price as it was thought to be too expensive for a train set. I suppose it was hoped that more sales at a lower price would bring more revenue, rather than fewer sales at a higher price.

Think from memory green end early, black end late and correlates with the couplers. The weight in two rail was, I believe, due to similar issues which the bo-bo was displaying in 2 rail. That is, the electrical pickup solely through the two wheels wasn't the most reliable, the weight of course adding to the electrical continuity. Couldn't quite see clearly but your new tyres, are they the o-ring replacement variety? Originally of course they were flat in profile, and I was finding that using the popular and easy to get replacements nowadays that are actually o-rings can add to derailments due to losing a bit off the flange depth. Shiny examples: most, and including mine, seem to have had varnish issued causing rusting around the window cut outs...
