That last shot of James running in the dark with that long train is reminiscent of the TV series from seasons 1 to 2.

This was a very wholesome video and thank you for sharing that history with us. It reminds me of how my Uncle, the only other person in my family who shared and even kind of helped give me my love of trains, told me when I was 13 how he always wanted a n scale SD40T-2 locomotive but could never find one. I spent years looking for it at various local stores and even tried looking for it online and at conventions but never had success. Eventually I did find a brass one last year on E-bay for a pretty penny and man was it worth it. We lost my Aunt at the start of 2020 before covid but at least I could bring my Uncle a little joy at the end of the year. Cheers man and God bless you.

Glad you got a deal on a favorite loco! I picked up a Rivarrossi American Railroads berkshire a few weeks ago for just 30 bucks, and a Rivarossi Casry Jones engine about a year ago for 15. Some great deals, I'm very happy!

The securing screw on the side of the loco is due to the body being adapted from the Triang Deely 3f which was loco driven and fitted with a smoke generator. Hornby did a good job on converting the moulds to make James.

I'm gonna go on a whim and say this is your favorite model. Congrats on 20k you deserve it your vids are top tier entertainment keep up the good work and 30k will follow.

I like how the Triang LMS 3F lives on as the Hornby James, the one I have isn’t complete and needed a bit of parts added, but glad my friend sent it

If you google "Triang 3F", you can see what they changed. Unfortunately, they kept the old screw hole in the left hand side! It's funny listening to him compliment the detailing, even the whistle, because none of them were added by Hornby at all.

One Christmas, i got this old Hornby Thomas set with the vintage Thomas and Percy, along with some rolling stock. The story goes is my mom went to a hobby shop and since the set was so old, the guy said he probably didn’t have anything of the sort. So he went looking, and he actually found one.

Expect good running from this. Ive had a hornby james for years, and before me he went through 3 relatives who each had him for a similarly long time. Still works like a dream and one of my strongest pullers!

Finally it’s beautiful 🤩

I've been waiting

I hear that SNES rendition, love it

What makes him even better, is that Awdry himself used a 3F for one of his James models.

Splendid Hornby Model

I remember seeing maybe the same Hornby James in a 2007 Hornby model book.

I got mine along with Hornby Thomas, Percy, Henry, Gordon and Edward two years ago,

"Take a look who's coming down the track; Make way for James! Hooray for James! Shiny, shiny paint with the jet black stack - Make way for James! Hooray for James!"

And now... HERE!!!!!! JAMES!!!!!!!

great video trainboy really enjoyed it and i have some advice for you of you want to highlight molded in details you can use sharpes and if you get a little bit of sharpe on the plastic or metal you can get rid of it by rubing it of with your finhers as long as the sharpe is still wet i dont know if you know this but i thought to give you some advice

Man, great video. Happy to see you smile with your very own Hornby James. It also sounded like that you were very excited to review this. People say that the Hornby models are RWS Based. But I think that's just a by-product. Now I am not saying they are bad. They are wonderful. And I love the realistic appeal. But I think Bachmann put a lot more effort into their models. However, my favourite hornby model is hands down is henry and Gordon. Just look at them. They look so wonderful, and so RWS Like.

I have this as well and I'm not sure if mine has had any modifications because when it runs, it flys!

Love it 🤤❤️

I've a latter version of the Hornby James, it doesn't suffer from the same massive black screw issue that yours does, however mine did suffer a breakage of the both vacuum bags, the front lamp irons are in upside-down (easy fix) & lacks a box.

In many ways I've prefered Hornby's Thomas line as the models were more realistic and RWS like. I, too, think Hornby James is one the best models Hornby made!!!

Agreed man! I can’t knock Bachmann too heavy because I definitely own more of them and love the look of them; but there’s so much to appreciate in the Hornby models!

Yes

For those who didn't know, the Hornby James model is older than you think. It was created by using the Tri-ang Midland Railway 3F 0-6-0 tender locomotive from the 1950s, just like how the Reverend built his James. You can actually see where the over 20-year-old tooling was extended at the front and even when the model was powered from the engine.

Love the music

Truth be told, truth be told.

any advice on how to get one for a reasonable price? i almost got one yesterday but someone out bided me in the mast second

You should make one of the old flying kipper vans from Fish (season four) for the flying kipper Henry or the scrapped/rusted collection

Hornby are reusing the old Thomas mold to make an lb&sc e2 in a green livery reminiscent of Thomas's appearance in the adventure begins, they're doing the same with percy's mold but its not any particular railway company

what a beauty

Take a look who's coming down the track Make way for james! Hooray for James! Shiny, Shiny paint with a jet black stack, Make way for james! Hooray for james!! What is for certain and really should note It's indisputable but lets take a vote He's the really splendid engine with a brigth red coat

The Hornby James is the best Hornby model in my opinion, it’s one of the only ones I like alongside murdoch

Could you do a video with this and the Bachman James? Just think Double James!!

Hornby James is absolutely ripped. He will pull anything. The sissy Bachmann James pulls about 6 heavy coaches, but on testing a Hornby one, I ran out of rolling stock. Hornby's tender drive is not to be underestimated, James will pound around with my full collection behind him, swearing loudly that he has to pull wagons instead of shiny passenger coaches. However: he is, first and foremost, a Scouser, and if you find Henry's pre-Kipper coal going missing, you know it's him. His theme is the absolute banger of the series, and his Hornby model the pride of the Thomas range, now and for evermore.

I have one of these. Just bought some tar wagons

Maybe you can get some hornby troublesome trucks the ones that are only found in the UK to go with this model Its would be cute to see one trouble some truck from the very first season.

Cool 😎 my favorite

yay

Dream locomotive achievement: *UNLOCKED*

Ayyyy I have that model I like it is ok but really cool

Trainboy do you still have the red engine himself as he would be a grate addition on your newest of layout

Hornby had James rereleased in 2017, so you could weather one of those.

They did an amazing job on detail I wish they still made them it's a shame:/

In most, if not all, rws stories, james has a red roof, would you ever add that mod? I did it with mine and love the look of it
