JJ73 Posted October 1, 2019 Author Share Posted October 1, 2019 Oh 😎 New Lad - thank you - wow - I'll take it that your allowing me to use your photos as well on my video - yeah that could be of interest - a bit of history!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new lad on block Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Hi JJ, I have no problem with using the photos.You may have to ask Hornby, as they appear on their website.Lots of my photos I have uploaded on forum,when you google Hornby locos come up with reference to Hornby.com.If a problem send a email to admin asking for my email address, and will send photos direct.Any other photos of Hornby locos you want to use in forth-coming videos, if I have them in my collection, just ask.

dynax Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 The extra model is being collected tomorrow, hopefully it will be with it's proper owner very soon, cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peetbee Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Just a quick game of spot the differance with old & new!!! 😉 😆Surely a better comparison would be with the old Hornby Class 06, rather than the old Lima? Mine arrived yesterday, well most of it! Missing the rear buffers for some reason. I've emailed Hornby so hopefully they be able to pop a pair in the post. I just need to get a couple of bits of network rail rolling stock for it to shunt now! I've seen one up for sale on that auction site already!

JJ73 Posted October 3, 2019 Author Share Posted October 3, 2019 @ Peetbee :- Oh dear - that's no good - waited all this time & there are parts missing ☹️ Oh well & least you didn't get a twin like Dynax & Rawners got!!!Ok - may be a Hornby Class 06 (just had a quick look on Ebay) but at the end of the day it is a "Plymouth Switcher" & they (mostly) are all alike - see my review vid link below!!! @ every one else :- well here it is my review video of the 2019 C. C. Model - the R3775 Network Rail 0-4-0 diesel Shunter :- Thank you & enjoy 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peetbee Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 At least it doesn't stop it working! I'm sure Hornby will sort it out :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkingthedog Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 My loco found it's way to a member's grandson and I believe is now located in Switzerland. No I didn't make a penny on the transaction. Very pleased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rana Temporia Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Just had a look at the pics and first impression is it reminds me of the yellow Tri-ang Big Big Ruston shunter I had as a kid with some green and red tipper trucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rana Temporia Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 JJ have a look at this website; https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=1&ved=2ahUKEwilq4mZg9XlAhX_QUEAHXDnBRYQFjAAegQIAhAB&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thebigbigtrain.com%2F&usg=AOvVaw3GJ3G24TbyAE4MZV1Mc10P The locos were battery powered and had two switches, one for on/off and the other for direction. There was a lineside switch that could send the loco back from a dead end (if the batteries were good). It was really two scales, the Hymek was a reasonable scale 0 gauge model that is still used today by people to update to 12v operation. There were also reasonable O scale 16T mineral wagons in various colours and BR coaches, again still used by people to upgrade. The diesel shunter and steam locos ran on the same track but were more narrow gauge in appearance and there were appropriate narrow gauge type wagons, again in various colours. Oddly there were a continental 0 scale coach, US style caboose and gondola with no appropriate locos to pull them unless you include the 060 tank which I think was more narrow gauge. This may suggest that there were plans to introduce a Transcontinental type range. As a child I didn’t worry too much about the different scales or origins of the rolling stock and ran everything together. I went through a lot of batteries which can’t have been good for the planet!

Ruffnut Thorston Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 The Big Big Train 0-6-0 Tank locomotive was a pretty good model of the Class USA locomotives, built in the USA for the US Army Transportation Corps during WW2. These were mainly for use in Europe, and were designed to be a pretty exact fit into the British loading gauge. The Southern Railway bought some from the WD for use in Southampton Docks...where they gained the class name USA. There was a notice on the bunker side that read... When standing on these footsteps, you are not within the loading gauge. 😮 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ73 Posted November 12, 2019 Author Share Posted November 12, 2019 Oh yes - interesting - I wonder if the Hornby Junior - Train set Paddington has the same sort of track as the BIG BIG TRAIN SET???I went through a lot of batteries which can’t have been good for the planet!Only if you didn't recyce them!!!

Granite Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Mine arrived today, but only because I phoned last week to find out where it was!Granite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rana Temporia Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 JJ no-one recycled much in the early 1970s. Everything went into the bin and then into a hole in the ground or a heap somewhere where the leachate leaked into the environmenT with no control measures whatsoever. If you want to see some of the legacy of this have a walk round parts of certain towns where the brown leachate is still flowing from the chemical tips into the rivers and canals and it’s really visible.

NWR-Gordon-4 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Mine arrived on the 01/10/2019 too. @New lad on block Great photos. You missed out the Coca-Cola livery Bagnall though, in the photos with Dart, the Bganall from 2012 and the 2019 Network Rail Bagnall.

new lad on block Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Hi Gordon, when I took the photos on Oct. 1st.
