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!

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

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

How nice to see a 9f running from your collection pulling a rake of ore wagons ,missing the North Norfolks 9f Black Prince as it’s out of commission for boiler repairs .The 9 looks grand in model or real form . Great video .😊Suffolk .

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

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 🙂🚂🚂🚂

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

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.

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.

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.

👍

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 afternoon from Glasgow Oscar I've Got The old 9f and a New 9F with the dicast body both Run Great another Great video from you Sir

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

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.

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.

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.

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 👍🏻

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

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

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. 😊

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

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

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.

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. 😊

A terrific start to Sunday as usual Oscar. I’m in Spain for the weekend and off to play my 3rd round of golf in 3 days! Look forward to seeing your next video. Thanks for sharing. Roy.

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.

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 Oscar in a word : Marvellous !

Outside 3 rail Dublo, these R159's are the best trains/models ever made. TransAustralia.....

Great video Oscar with a goods train to open up your program this week .I really like your metro vic ,what an interesting loco it is .Timber always makes a good load as you can always pick up wood as load quit easily

This is unrelated to the video topic but I just bought Tri-ang R869S and I was wondering what fluid to use Because I don't want to damage it and I know you have a lot of knowlege when it comes to triangs so if you could please tell me.

Hi Oscar, wonderful again especially the GWR tank engine is that hornby dublo . The old three rail I mainly used system 6 track and peco nickel silver. Iconic stuff.. 👍🏻😎

Hello Oscar - I really enjoy watching your Vids - What fun Model Railways are!!! @17:40 I now have 2 Fowler Class 4P, 1 in a BR (Black) Livery No. 42334 (R3404) & the other is in a LMS (Red) Livery No. 2300 (R30271) - part of The 'BIG FOUR' Collection!!! 😊🚂🚂🚂

These bogie bolsters just show what rubbish Triang was pushing out when compared with Hornby Dublo. The only Triang items that grabbed my attention were the catenary set up and Minic Road Rail. Other Triang stuff was rubbish in comparison to Dublo too. Take the TPO set. It's a shame that Dublo continued with 3 rail. In terms of accuracy look at the Dublo milk tanker in comparison to the Dublo item. Much prefer Dublo, VB and Trix

Good running session. Interesting wagons. Nicely filmed. Thank you.

I had a bogie bolster early in my model railway years. I still have it and can identify it amongst the others by a yellowing of the plastic. I have three, all from around 1960/65 with the Mk 3 couplers, such great play items with infinite load possibilities. I think your barked logs are cherry wood. Did they come with plastic bogies and pin point axles later? Cheers, David.

Love the bogie bolster wagons. The metal bogies do make a wonderful sound over the joints and points. I like the log loads that look a bit more like actual trees instead of a piece of dowel. I have a rake of the 4 wheel bolster wagons with stacks of 3 straight cuttings on each from a friend's garden. The actually look like sawn trees, very pleasing to the imagination. 😊

I’m always amazed how well you get your trains to run over that old series 3 track. Stalling on points was always a problem for me as a lad using Super 4. I only managed to overcome it when I started using Peco track later on. A tribute to your excellent tracklaying and careful maintenance!

Hi Oscar. Another great video for Sunday morning. I always look forwards to Sunday for your videos. A thought occurred to me when the wagons came adrift at the double S bend by the turntable. Why did you not put a righthand point going to the turntable instead of the lefthand one and just move the lower lefthand point across a bit. Would make the transition much smoother and less likely to cause the couplings to come undone?.

Hi Oscar, R 110 Bogie Bolster Wagon... My very first piece of Tri-ang trains.. A birthday present in May 1955.. The deal was that if if was still intact by Christmas, I would get a complete train set? Both the R 110 and the train set (with standard track) are all still running in 2024.. Let's see modern Hornby do that? Although, I must confess to a piece of the underframe has broken the same as on your model and the red caboose has lost some steps (a frequent mishap and repair on them)? Otherwise every thing is still running? R 59 is Charlie's favourite loco, although he prefers the green livery? Today's video is truly nostalgic for us.. Thank you .. There is also an acetate R 16 Brake Van in the collection, that has shrunken so much that it popped off of the metal chassis? I am told that the injection mold at Rovex did two of the R 17, 18 or 19, short 4 wheel flat wagon bodies and one R 110 Bogie chassis on each pressing, (in grey plastic)? I'm not sure if this is correct or not? Also the same bolsters were used on both the R 110 and the smaller R 17 Bolster Wagon.. Great designing again from Tri-ang.. Bye for now..

Good morning Oscar nice video great enjoyment cheers Patrick Quinn IRL

Great video this morning Oscar will have to keep a look out for some of those timber wagons as I wouldn’t mind a rake of them myself, great to see them have a load, although I do wonder if they were ever issued with the later D type couplings, keep up the great work Oscar.

Morning Oscar, Great overview of the assorted bogie bolsters and loads. Fond memories of finding R59 on top of the wardrobe a few weeks before Christmas 1956-7 😀 Many thanks for the detailed reply on storing rolling stock and engines, appreciated. Gordon

Nice video as usual! I've got an HO Jouef open wagon with a load of varnished twigs from the local car park.

Hello and Good morning Oscar, it's Martin from Hull in the East Riding of Yorkshire. Great to see your bogie bolsters and Co Bo pulling them on your wonderful railway. The railway goods yard I worked in had lots of those wagons. My biggest regret always is not taking more photos of all the different types of wagons in the yard., oh well, anyway I really appreciate all the time and effort you put into your amazing layout. Well it's time to have my toasted tea cake and a cup of tea. ☕. Have a good weekend and a good week ahead and keep safe Oscar and ill see you next Sunday. 👍🚂

Thanks Oscar for another interesting video.
