new lad on block Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Hi, Toby The Tram,available in 2 versions, R9025 Wind-up (clockwork),and R9046 Electric.Body is more or less the same, exceptions are cut outs on each side for wind-up key & Stop / Start lever.also the electric version has a small cutout front and back for normal couplings.R9025 has the child friendly plastic push fit couplings.The clockwork mechanism is the same that can be found in other Hornby Thomas wind-up locos, this time moulded in black plastic with 6 wheels.As far as I am aware Toby wind-up only came on a card and was not boxed.It was only produced in 1999.This particular variant is very hard to find.I have never seen one for sale with its original card.Hopefully photos show major differences./media/tinymce_upload/751ac30fd4649732985ed477522a7e62.JPG/media/tinymce_upload/0b58c60cadc28d53bbe9b3fd87b29727.JPG/media/tinymce_upload/597487e3791d2389dcd8ba5a275bc5ee.JPG/media/tinymce_upload/a723721b136af53a4ed9fcd0673afa9e.JPG/media/tinymce_upload/837292bd8eaed5aae187bf90ada49960.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWR-Gordon-4 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Great images, new lad on block. Bodies are the smae on the electric amd clockwork Toby's. I don't own any of the Hornby Thomas Clockwork stuff. It dosen't interest. It's too toy like, to me. I love and much prefer the electric Hornby Thomas range. Pleae feel free, to post more compaision Thomas photos, new lad on block. 😀 GNR-Gordon-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new lad on block Posted January 22, 2018 Author Share Posted January 22, 2018 Hi Gordon,There are only five other Hornby clockworks in the Thomas range, Percy, Thomas, Bill, Ben and Bertie the Bus.Bertie was never done in electric thougth.Clockwork Bill and Ben use the same body as the electric versions.They cannot go on HO / OO rails.Percy uses near identical body as the electric version.Percy can go on normal rails.Thomas, the 4 wheel version has a much smaller body but does go on HO / OO rails.Will upload Percy tomorrow.

NWR-Gordon-4 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I already knew more or less all of that, but thank you for telling me anyway. Another Thomas I need to get, is the Electric Thomas 0-4-0 locomotive. Yes, please do Percy tomorrow. I will be looking forward to that! 😆 GNR-Gordon-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new lad on block Posted January 23, 2018 Author Share Posted January 23, 2018 Hi, Correction of my previous post Bertie The Bus is not clockwork, it has a battery powered motor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWR-Gordon-4 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I thought that when I saw your comment about the Hornby Bertie the Bus, being clockwork powered. I was sure he was a battery powered bus. I don't own a Hornby Bertie. I'm not sure why. I've never wanted it. It could be due to there being no other road vehicles battery powered puts me off. I prefer the diecast toy models, in the way of road vehicles. These are not scaled to OO Gauge or 1:76th Scale, but do much better job of scaling to 1:76th, which is much better scaled than the Hornby Bertie, which is almost the size of the Thomas locomotives, which is incorrect.

new lad on block Posted January 23, 2018 Author Share Posted January 23, 2018 Hi Gordon did not have time to photograph Percy.Once I started looking for suitable subjects took longer than I thought.I did manage to start a new thread of C/w and electric Bill and Ben.Missed deadline again but should be on tomorrow.

NWR-Gordon-4 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Ah, OK then. Maybe you should do Percy in a few days time, or in the near future. 😉 😀 😆 Are you talking about the Circus Wagon's, new lad on block? I am guessing that's what you mean, by "C/W". I am very much looking forward to the Bill and Ben one. Also, any chance you could show off the R383 and R9291 Gordon's together please, assuming you have those two?

new lad on block Posted January 23, 2018 Author Share Posted January 23, 2018 Hi, Have uploaded tonight 3 versions of Gordon I have, R383 UK and China version and R9291 Made in China.W/C in text refered to Clockwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWR-Gordon-4 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Thank you so much, new lad on block. 😀 I only have two versions of Gordon. China version of R383 and China and DCC Ready version, which is R9291. I don't want a Great Britain model of Gordon. OK. Clockwork, sounds good. How about you post a topic about the Circus Wagon's, anyway? Again, assuming you have them. GNR-Gordon-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new lad on block Posted January 23, 2018 Author Share Posted January 23, 2018 Hi, Have most of the Hornby Thomas range I think I am short of a red tanker and R9250 platform sections.Circus vans would take a bit of finding as would have to check which are in Percy Circus set.Will try to find, but Percy then Thomas will take a lot of sorting.

NWR-Gordon-4 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I have a most of the Thomas range too. I am short of more or less all of the buildings. Main reason is for storage space and no space for them on my layout. I have a few though. I've mainly concentrated on collecting the locomotives and rolling stock. The Circus Van's that appeared in the Percy Circus Train Set are, as follows: bottom left and right corner of van, painted blue, with yellow, in between, behind the 'Circus' logo, also found in R9094; Red rounded edges, with blue in between, with red in the middle, behind the 'Circus' logo, also found in R9093; you also get R9207 and R9208 included in the train set, too. Hope this helps. 😀 I don't own the Percy Circus Train Set, because if you buy the two triple packs and the three vans each sold seperately, (Which I did), you have duplicates of some which would look odd).
