Triang's operating ore wagon set had terrific play value and this video took me right back to 1959 and my first layout when I had one. Great stuff Oscar and many thanks for sharing and bringing back some lovely memories.

Nice shots of the two trains running past. The 9F and the ore wagons look very good and I like the look of the grain wagons too. Very enjoyable. 😊

Hi, great to hear you enjoyed that. Thanks for watching. Oscar

Hello Oscar. I really appreciated seeing how one basic wagon varied over the years and each of the differences as they evolved and also the comparison with the Dublo version of the grain wagon. Nice to see the big heavies in the 8f and 9f running together.

Good morning Oscar, what a fantastic collection of ore wagons, it's interesting when you can see how they developed over the years, I managed to pick up a Johnny walker grain wagon at the exe railway show last weekend no box unfortunately but a nice model. That engine 9f is lovely, what a beast. Its great just watching the action of the connecting rods i find them mesmerising. Enjoyed looking over these models and a good running session. Thank you for bringing them to us take care, Eddy xx

Good morning Eddy glad you enjoyed having a look over these items, the 9F is certainly a powerful looking piece of machinery even in model form. I would love to have seen and heard one of these in motion for real, I have been lucky enough to see the Evening Star on display at the National Railway Museum on a couple of occasions, when you look at it, it's amazing to think how all these parts were designed and brought together, lovely engineering.. All the best. Oscar

Very Impressive 9f and Consist, so suited to Larger Layouts where they can Power away with a Nice Long Rake - I have later variants of these wagons in OO but No 9f - Yet! 😉 Many thanks OP 👍🏻

It is amazing just how much stuff has been produced over the years. I'm glad we have you Oscar to bring all thus rolling stock and information together in one place and grateful that you take the time to share it all with us. No 9F's or ore wagons in my collection but I do have two of the grain wagons. Looking forward to next week to see what else you have to show us. David

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. Keep safe and have a good week ahead Oscar. See you next Sunday. 👍🚂. P.S. It's my birthday today Oscar, ( June 30th, 1955.) where have all the years gone. ? Lol. 😊

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. 👍🚂

Hi Oscar so interesting to see all the versions of the hopper wagons going back into the late 50's. I had no idea that there was an operating grain wagon and particularly fun with the sliding doors on the roof. Hmm a brewery diorama perhaps.. ? An idea for another day. Running the 8F and 9F together at the end was very enjoyable to watch. Many thanks again, Guy

Good evening Guy great to hear you enjoyed seeing those variations and the two locomotives running at the end. There's always another idea for a bit of model railway somewhere along the way. Take care. Oscar

Hi Oscar, lovely locomotive I owned the Evening star. I remember this version good model..

Love it! Many thanks for these videos - nostalgia and lots of fun! Best wishes Peter

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.. Thanks again.. Rob

Hi Oscar, Nice intro footage and definitely a box ticking video for me, excuse the pun. I have the 9F in its box and marked ‘Shop Model’. It is one of the smoothest and most responsive models I have however whoever serviced it was not very kind to the tender retaining clips so judicious use of blu tack called for. Very interesting and informative overview of the Ore Wagons. I have a few variants including the one with the detachable roof, great entertainment as a youngster, still ongoing 😀 Gordon

Another great video Oscar. The 9F is my favourite British Railways standard design loco. It made a brilliant sight alongside the Dublo 8F. The ore wagon timeline was very interesting, like you I have multiples of all the variations, the most numerous being about 25 of the ROBERTS version for some reason. But that's another story! As usual a thoroughly enjoyable start to Sunday, thank you Oscar for sharing more of your wonderful collection.

Amazing how old some of these are. 1958 was before the Mini was launched. Ten more years of steam.

Hi Oscar - really enjoyed that video. I’ve the evening star and recently picked up the Oliver Cromwell silver seal versions so envious of you with the black 9F. Hopefully will find it someday. The wagons also good to see! Many thanks!

Hi, glad you enjoyed the video. Terrific to hear you've just got yourself the Oliver Cromwell Silver Seal it's a lovely looking item with its deep shine varnish finish. Take care. Oscar

9f has to be one of my favourites, personally the railroad version is the best balance of modern improvements to chassis and detail but didn't mess much with the original castings and parts from the 70s. I have both evening star and a black one. But still have a soft spot for the real vintage stuff.

Hi, thank you for looking in. Great to hear about the railroad version you have. These are amazing looking locomotives. Take care. Oscar

The black 9F is one of my favourites if not my actual favourite loco . I got mine at Christmas 1974 . It kind of restored my interest in model railways because up to then I was plagued with stalling engines . This 9F was super smooth with all its pickups .as you said at the time the layout was a mixture of super4 and system 6 , but this dealt with all track easily . Loved this model . Only issue was with these soldered wires underneath that used to come apart . Still a favourite and running well . Another great video Oscar

Good evening Russell thanks for looking in. Great to hear you still have your original model. They really are lovely runners and those two wives underneath all the week point, but possibly a better solution having two wires run between the loco and tender rather than the later pin through the hole for pick up affair. All the best. Oscar

nice shot of trains keep up the cool vid and things you put out on channel nice locos

Hello Oscar - I've got a Green B. R. 9F - it is called "Evening Star" No. 92220!!! Oh @ 3:09 - you've just mention about it!!! @19:42 - Arrr that has happen to me too so many times!!! 😀Thanks for sharing 🙂🚂🚂🚂

I've an idea that those operating hopper wagons can catch on some of the series 3 point motors too. Always an 'unexpected pleasure' when loaded with ore! Thanks for sharing your collection, I'd no idea that there were so many variations on the UK version.

Yet another awesome video. Very timely for me as I have just got hold of R550 in great condition. I serviced her last night and she runs as good as new. Very smoothly and quiet for her age. These silver seal models really are my favourite. I received the operating ore set back in Christmas 1979. Had lots of fun with it at the time. I have considered getting one again, but sadly not enough room on my layout to accommodate one these days.Thanks for sharing.

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. Oscar

A good video this morning Oscar, I do have a tender drive 9f myself, its a later version where the tender can be fully decoupled and it’s not wired permanently to the locomotive, it’s also Evening Star, mine though looks like it’s on its last legs as the last time I ran it it was quite smokey and just running very sluggish so it’s going to have to be a new armature for mine or I might look at those motor conversion items that many sell for it, great video overall, wouldn’t mine a black 9f myself as it’s quite a nice livery on the locomotives plus all the 9fs except Evening Star wore BR Black, keep up the great work Oscar.

Good evening David great to hear you enjoyed the video, sounds like your 9F needs a little attention, I would be interested to know how you get on if you try one of those conversion kits, they look like a very good alternative, some quite interesting options for converting the various older Tri-ang Hornby motors available from hornswhistlesworkshop and Peters Spares Take care. Oscar

I've an idea that the Dublo grain wagon was the first in the Super-detail range of wagons.

Fabulous video, thank you Oscar. The early Ringfield is such a lovely motor isn't it? The story goes that Richard Lines wanted Triang to go out with a bang for it's last new loco before being taken over by Rovex/Hornby and he thought that the 9f with the Fleischman derived Ringfield motor in the tender would be the perfect way to sign off. Great assortment of grain/mineral hopper/wagons there Oscar, they are the perfect load for the 9f aren't they? Regards, Antony.

Hi Oscar, I was wondering if you know the width of the Hornby Dublo 3 Rail circle track? Because I have a table that's about 35 inches wide and I don't know which to find that will fit with in 31 inches wide in a circle.

@oscarpaisley

2 күн бұрын

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
