Adding to my Hornby 00 Collection...

29 Replies, 24560 Views

As those who know me would know I already have quite a nice collection of Hornby 00 - although having said that I don't think I've ever shared many pictures of them.

Anyway, I've recently started getting hold of some new additions so I'm going to start posting them here in an on-going thread as opposed to the individual posts in the 'show us...' section so that they are easy to find.

To kick off I will start with the class 06 British Rail diesel shunter and a little 0-4-0 tank engine and wagons Smile

Here we go;

Here's the next few, a GWR pannier tank 0-6-0 and an LSWR 0-4-0 tank loco and their associated wagons Smile

First up another of the little 0-4-0 tank engines I like in a new livery;

[Image: IMG_20180402_173518409.jpg]
[Image: IMG_20180402_173534579.jpg]

Next we have a 14xx 0-4-2 tank loco, this one is the one I purchased with the intention of maybe converting it to an 'Oliver', but to be honest it is in such good condition that I am reluctant to re-spray this. I may try to pick up a more used example to do the conversion and keep this one for the collection as I didn't have an example of this model, for the record this one is made by Dapol not Hornby

Next is another of the 0-4-0 tank loco's but this one was part of a Christmas 'Santa Express' set, this came with a couple of lovely little wagons also;

[Image: IMG_20180402_173848030.jpg]

Now we have a more unusual tank loco, an 0-6-0 Class J52 loco, very nice model though;

[Image: IMG_20180402_174043014.jpg]

Next another of the Class 06 Diesel loco's, this time it is 'Barclay' but in an early British Rail green livery rather than the other late British Rail blue.

[Image: IMG_20180402_174428931.jpg]

Now a really nice model, this is a Class 20 Diesel, this particular model/livery is a limited edition release of a real life example owned by 'Traction', this was a limited run of 550 models. This was produced by Lima of Italy, although they are now a subsidary of Hornby as is Dapol.

[Image: IMG_20180402_174622058.jpg]

Another pair of Class 06 Diesels, the first another example of the late British Rail Blue livery, but as you'll notice the detail is somewhat better and some items finer, this is a Chinese produced model instead of an English one. The second is shown in 'Virgin' livery, this is quite striking Smile

[Image: IMG_20180402_175027482.jpg]

Next up is another Lima produced locomotive, this is a class 37 Diesel, mainly used in the UK for pulling large freight trains, although occasionally they have been known to be used for passenger services.

[Image: IMG_20180402_175235192.jpg]
[Image: IMG_20180402_175250282.jpg]

The first is a class 8F steam locomotive, this is a 2-8-0 configuration with a 6 wheel tender. These were primarily used for freight trains in the UK. This model is lovely in that not only is it quite a nice looking loco, but this example is also fitted with a working smoke generator and a 'glowing' firebox. Once a layout is up and running this is one I will have to produce a video of Smile

[Image: IMG_20180402_175744021.jpg]

Last but by no means last is a lovely saddle tank engine of Bill from the Hornby Thomas range. This one is quite special as it is fitted with a DCC chip, so is ready for a digital control layout as opposed to a normal DC current layout. The advantages of DCC are many, maybe I'll fill you in on it at some point Smile
