Hi Barrie! It’s so great to see you again! I subscribed to your previous channel; I’m happy to see all is well. You may not remember me, but I was the girl that was getting into model trains through my fiancé playing your videos during dinner! I have thoroughly been convinced since then, and in half a year we have joined our local model train chapter (for HO scale) and have officially 8 locos! I have also since learned about all the major couplers (was a huge embarrassment when we bought stock that couldn’t match our only loco at the time). I have a question: Why are so many hobbyists interested in buying new only, and have minimal understanding for upkeep or repairs? The chapter we’re in, while the gentlemen are great, they really do not like used locos. Is it just a culture thing here across the pond, or is it fundamentally how the hobby is suppose to be? Many locos we’ve tried to fix do not look like they were designed to ever be opened or maintained…

@RonCooper-nl4pnКүн бұрын
Hi Barry, I had a Flieshman HO scale class 94 an 0-10-0T many years ago and sadly it was one of my many models that I sold off to fund my ‘O’ gauge project. Fortunately in 2019 I managed to sauce an ‘O’ gauge new version by LENZ, DCC Sound fitted with 30 functions that included a smoke generator at a cost of just over £1100. This Class also had a nick name “BLACK BUFFALO “. An absolute brilliant model and as you said “you only get what you pay for “. A great Video Barry, regards from Ron. 🚂🚂👍

Hi Barrie, another interesting video. 1 / The SNCF BB16000 25kvAC were built between 1958-1963, and the last one was retired in 2012. The BR AL1/ Cl 81 (BTH/AEI) were built between 1959-1964, and with the last one being retired in 1990; so both classes were contemporaries. 2 / the SNCF BB 16000 were derived from the outwardly identical BB 9200 1,500vDC of 1958-1964, with the last one being withdrawn in 2014. 3 / Re the red Lima locomotive you mentioned, 6 locomotives of the BB 9200 class were modified for the Paris-Toulouse High Speed 1,500vDC "Capitole" service, and these locomotives were indeed dark red, and known as the BB Rouge / Red locomotives, and included permanently mounted ":Capitole" headboards, with BB 9291 preserved as such at Mulhouse Railway Museum. 4 / As you say, the engineering and design of the Hornby Acho BB 16000 is superb, and is significantly better than either the Hornby Dublo, cat2245 (2rail) / 3245 (3rail), E3002 or later (and different ! ) TriAng Hornby R753 E3001. Electrically, and mechanically, the R753 is inferior to the Dublo original (and a lot cheaper to make ! ), yet the British model AL1s both have an overhead change over switch to enable the pantograph to collect power, yet the Hornby Acho BB 16000 does not appear to have this provision 5 / By the way, the owner of both Roco and Fleischmann brands has decided that Fleischmann, as from 2019, shall concentrate on N Piccolo brand, and Roco will incorporate Fleischmann HO into the Roco brand, and Roco will be available as Roco HO and Roco TT, Best wishes and regards from Australia.

Hi Barrie, 1 / re the Tender Cabin on DB and OBB (Austrian Federal Railways) 2-10-0s, according to Trains Illustrated Annual, 1962 p77, in 1955, DB / Detaches Bundesbahn / German Federal Railways, had 10 cabins built on the rear of some Class 50 engines, which as Ivovanzon164 indicated below were not a success, but from the beginning of 1959, 491 tenders were equipped with Centre of Tender Guards Cabins, (no provision for driver controls) and are usually coupled to Class 41 ( 2 cyl 2-8-2) & 44 ( 3 cyl, heavy 2-10-0) oil burning locomotives . The tender was extended to the buffer beam to offset the loss of water space.The Guard's Cabin is equipped with a folding seat, a table the full width of the cab, folding wash basin, two steam heated radiators, two bookshelves, two Emergency Brake Handles (one inner & one outer) . The German cabin is 6'6" long x 4'6" wide x 7'2" high in the centre. The provision of Tender Guard's Cabins was to overcome a shortage of Guard's Vans. 2 / I understand that DB abolished the need for Guard's Vans on the rear of trains in 1955, due to all rolling stock then in service being equipped with air brakes. 3 / Your query re Disc Wheels is that they are a mono bloc steel casting without a seperate tyre, therefore they are less prone to metal fatigue, and if the steam locomotives so equipped were modified for a higher speed, then mono bloc steel disc wheels would make sense. 4 / with reference to "The German Class 52 Kreigslok", Peter Slaughter, Alexander Vassiliev, Roland Beier (Frank Stenvalls Forlag, 1996 isbn 91-7266-140-2) p7, Design simplification included the use of disc type pony wheels in lieu of standard spoked wheel, and K2'2'T32"Wannen" tub tenders. 5 / The Cl 52 Kreigslok / War Locomotive was derived from the DRG/DB Cl 50 2cyl 2-10-0, with the wartime Interim Austerity design classifies as Cl 50 UK / Ubergang zur Kreigslok / Transitional War Locomotives (their numberplates were 50UK.xxx), all of which were designed with a 15 tonne axle load, and to travel at 80kph either forwards and backward. 6 / the OBB 2-10-0s with Tender Cabins were Class 52 kreigsloks equipped with converted Wannen bathtub tenders. 6 / another very enjoyable video Barrie, trusting you and your family are well, Best wishes and regards from Australia.

The hut on the tender was designed as a replacement for the guard van (which on German trains is the first vehicle behind the locomotive). These were not loved by the personnel because they were cramped (compared to the guard van) and damp (due to sitting on top of the water tanks). Four types of these did exist: - The prototype which was hanging over the rear end, and was narrower. This also allowed to keep the same coal bunker size, but was considered too dangerous - The prototype with the narrow cab but in the final position. - The final German production version, the one shown here - The Austrian version that uses a tub tender and is kind of a hybrid between the prototype and the German solution.

Brake van no problem even at moderate to high speeds over Roco HO Geoline set track . His very basic lightweight Hornby 0-4-0 must be some kind of a mutant production engine . Not bad for a pocket rocket . 50 - 80 % on the dial using a Gauge master controller . I was afraid the motor would burn out but it did not happen .

Actually it is not, as the cabin has two glazed windows, on a 52 the front one is not present. On this one they used the rear wall of a 52 cabin. Most were later converted back to a normal cabin because the closed cabin was more useful on a Br 38 which never had a rear wall but was increasingly used on services that required driving backwards frequently.

Apparently the white rings painted on the German buffers was a hang over from a wartime black-out practice where the headlights were cowelled and less visible, just like we used to paint white lines on the front of cars in the blackout. It became a habit to continue to paint the buffers, even unofficially, as a tradition up to the 70s. There is a story, maybe a myth, that when the practice was officially stopped, workers would sneak into the engine sheds at night to paint the buffers!

Hi Barry, a great informative video and I agree with you on Flieshman locomotives.

I unfortunately sold it off with a large amount of my stock in order to fund my passion for ‘O’ gauge, It was the one I really missed. Five years ago A & H models had an ‘O’ gauge Class 94 by LENZ that I purchased for £ 1,125.00 ( with 10% off ) it included 29 DCC sound functions and smoke. I normally build all my models like Brittania and Princess but the 94 has so much detail and it’s a brilliant model. Regards from Ron 👍✔️😃

The second one has a so called Ük boiler and a rebuilt cabin rear wall to fit the tender. There are practically no BR50's that are exactly the same, with some of the variations only available as a white metal kit
Have just found a CL 50 with driving cab tender ! and she is very late as she has NEM pockets to take UK (Hornby) type couplings. Baz
O'h yes she has 'disc' front pony wheels; NOT spoked.
I was lucky, I received a Fleischmann clasx 50 for Christmas 1975, at the tender age of 14. I still use the loco on my layout all these years later. I went all Euro in the mid seventies due to my Dad, who was British but an electronic engineering lecturer who recognised quality.
Hi, barrie your new 2 10 0 is a kreigs lok . Built during the 2nd world war, it has a tube tender
Actually it is not, as the cabin has two glazed windows, on a 52 the front one is not present. On this one they used the rear wall of a 52 cabin. Most were later converted back to a normal cabin because the closed cabin was more useful on a Br 38 which never had a rear wall but was increasingly used on services that required driving backwards frequently.
Didn’t know that about Deltic oval buffers - had wondered why . Buffer locking. Fascinating stuff
I bought two old Mantua die cast ; a " shifter '' 0-4-0 & a pacific class, both needed work , ( I like getting old locos working again cheaper, and for me , satisfying , ( postage here to Australia from U S and Britain costs more than items which is part of the course !) the old U S motors are 5 pole , whereas the old Hornby 00 & Triang were 3 pole . The only Fleishmann I have is an N scale 0-8-0 tank ( bought over 20 years ago ) well engineered and detailed even at that scale .I Enjoy your videos, Barrie
enjoying your vidoes. i have locos from all over the world. I enjoy running them all
Not received your 4118K class 18 Maffei compound Pacific yet? Ah,I saw it on shed behind the 01 Pacific,what do you think of it?
Sorry don't understand
The G&SWR up in Scotland had a Baltic tank 4-6-4T . Have a feeling the Furness might have had one too. Certainly not common in UK. There’s a nice DB 2-10-0 , I think it might be a class 50 , some of which had a cab in the tender - that would make a bit of a difference . Do you fancy some DB Electrics? A DB103 was my favourite loco growing up . Keeping an eye out for one with some Rheingold coaches
Nice Hornby Acho set, those are becoming quite rare
good update on the channel nice loco keep up the good vids you do on channel thanks lee
Thank you for that demonstration. I have noticed the same problem with other locos on my layout. The Shires and Hunt classes pivot on the middle axle as an example. The balance needs attention. Martin. (Thailand).
Apparently the white rings painted on the German buffers was a hang over from a wartime black-out practice where the headlights were cowelled and less visible, just like we used to paint white lines on the front of cars in the blackout. It became a habit to continue to paint the buffers, even unofficially, as a tradition up to the 70s. There is a story, maybe a myth, that when the practice was officially stopped, workers would sneak into the engine sheds at night to paint the buffers!
I was just looking on the Bachmann website, they have Royal Mail coaches on there. They are only £72.95! I won't be buying them.😅
Hi Barry, a very nice locomotive this one and I just love the narrow smoke deflectors, they give it style. Regards from Ron 👍🚂
Hi Barry, another great video and although I am mainly into O gauge I may be tempted to purchase a Flieshman in HO scale. I did have one about 40 years ago as I mentioned in your previous video comments. Please keep up with the good work. Regards from Ron 👍😃✔️🚂
Hi Barry, a great informative video and I agree with you on Flieshman locomotives. I bought new the Class 94 a 0-10-0T ( nick named the black buffalo ) forty years ago and it even had working lights then. I unfortunately sold it off with a large amount of my stock in order to fund my passion for ‘O’ gauge, It was the one I really missed. Five years ago A & H models had an ‘O’ gauge Class 94 by LENZ that I purchased for £ 1,125.00 ( with 10% off ) it included 29 DCC sound functions and smoke. I normally build all my models like Brittania and Princess but the 94 has so much detail and it’s a brilliant model. Regards from Ron 👍✔️😃
Thanks Barrie looking forward to the post arriving
Hello Barrie I have taken the leap and ordered a Fleischmann Class 78 74075 I see it takes traction tyres are these likely to be a problem to get ?
No problem; 'Gaugemaster' are Fleischmann Agents and can get spares. But trust me you won't need them.
Many thanks for this Barrie. I've often wondered what Fleischmann locos are like in comparison to some of the UK stuff (some of which is excellent but some is at the other end of the scale - eg my Sir William Stanier which lost 3 bits as I took it out of the box!), so your recent videos of Fleischmann locos are very useful. I'm now tempted to buy one! Also nice to see the appearance of Alfie and Holly, too. Thank you - and I wish you much health and happiness. Best wishes Peter
Hi Barrie these were express passenger locomotives built between 1922 and 1927 and were used in the black forest area and were withdrawn about 1967 , the east German ones were fitted with new boilers and became br22s and were used on the inter zone trains between east and west Germany
The DDR ones have a different chassis as the replacement boiler is a bit longer. Those boilers later ended up in the Reko Br03.
Where did you get that?
A Toy Shop in Germany.
