Blimey, I didn't expect Sam saying crap today 🤣🤣 But seriously, this looks spectacular. Something I'd like to own. Fun fact the first locomotive I have repaired myself in 2019 from the dead was this very locomotive, Connie in blue, but mine had red wheels. I was gifted it for free from a model shop he said it's going into the bin if no-one takes her. I couldn't let that happen. I stripped her down and watching several of your videos, I got her back running and she's my pride and joy now. The first of a long line of locos I serviced and repaired myself. What a lovely piece of kit. I added some crushed coal to mine to elevate it from the other small engines I have. Hornby's cashgrab is quite terrible with these. I mean, the Dowlais Class D in the Midland and Great Northern orange used to be 50£ RRP, until I found one for 19.99£ at Rails (second hand) the other day. Just shows how unreasonable the value is. I'd pay 60£ for all three combined, but not 40-50£ for one. What a great video, Sam. While Salvage and Scrap may be over, this restoration is quite helpful if you show the process up close. Please do more of these.

@@SamsTrains Yeah I think what happened is the previous owner has swapped the chassis quite possibly. Because there are brass enhancements too. Someone must have loved that model and somehow it ended up in Switzerland in a model shop 10 minutes from me. That's part of the enjoyable experience for me. I have saved that locomotive from disposal which made me very happy when it jumped back into life. Only once I failed a repair because the insulator on the wheels broke on a Tri-ang Scotsman one day. Not gonna lie, I'd pay 50£ for this beautiful piece of work or even more. She looks wonderful with the blue lined wheels. Even better than the original, I think. What a great video to start my one week holiday. Thanks Sam. I've been watching since the Heljan Tango video and you inspired me a lot to service and repair old models which ended up in the siding, forgotten and broken.

Always nice to see an old loco get restored. As you say it's not perfect and I do think that she needed a new base coat of purple to hide the scratches and damage to the body she's received over the years but I must say she's looking a lot better than she did before and I do love the additional touches, they make her stand out and just that bit more special. For a tip though for doing the lining on the wheels in future(here in the States we call them Whitewalls)I highly recommend using a paint pen, it requires a fairly steady hand but the results will come out much nicer.

I don't usually comment on this but as soon as you pulled out the sharpies my gut reaction was 'Oh no Sam please no!'. Speaking as an artist, you need proper paint pens like Posca markers, there are even fine tip and brush tip versions on those types of pens these days, It would really help with the detail work, they have the opacity you are looking for; most sharpies give a translucent effect, metallic ones usually being the exception. Hope this help for future projects! I find modelling and restoration content so fascinating and satisfying to watch, I would not be against more of this type of content from you, you did great with this one and the 'Salvage or Scrap?' series' but the no time limits and being able to see a project through fully definitely works better. Nice work either way Sam! ☺

I agree about the new Hornby versions, they just look wrong. Your version looks really good and just goes to show what can be done. The Johnson can motor won't fit into the body shell without grinding some of the inside of the body shell to make clearance. I have been re-motoring one with the can motor and also changing the gearing to the later worm and drive gear, which helps a lot. Tri-ang-Hornby did release versions of this body shell with the can motor but I can only think that they altered the tooling to make it fit. I love the coreless motor mount and gear adapter, you should market them. Excellent video. 😊👍

You might just have given me the nudge I needed to finish my resto of a "Polly" 0-4-0. Unlike your Connie I was able to remove virtually all of the black paint from the body. I had to make a replacement set of left rear steps. For this I used a short piece of coffee stirrer which I superglued to a scrap of thin card. The card meant I could more securely glue the part to the body. I then filled the part down to the right shape using the opposite steps as a guide. For the rungs I positioned a line of baking powder and carefully added a bit of superglue which I sanded down when it was set. I air brushed the body with Humbrol Satin 174 and that is where a stopped! The body looks great with the satin finish!

Great to see these old gals get some love. I restored my old BR black one as a ficticious NER 0-4-0 shunter. I gave it the full works with a modern replacement motor for the X04 motor and used it as a test bed for learning to upgrade an old loco to DCC functionality. It's a tight fit with the HM7000 sound decoder, speaker, stay alive and extra weight, but it eventually all squeezed in and now it runs around the track as my most "fully functional" loco, even more so than my latest releases (as i dont buy them already sound-fitted due to the price). Last thing i have to do is shave off a small amount of the wheel rims as, being so old, they're deeper than modern ones and can derail the loco over my modern points.

This new body would allow for the latest in slide moulding technology, and be more prototypical of something that actually exists. Then you can either print and paint them yourself, or offer it to Hornby or a third party like Rails of Sheffield. Another idea is to crest a model of Ivor the Engine, though for copyright issues you wouldn’t be able you sell it! Just a few ideas!

Hi Sam! This is my first time commenting in a few years and I wanted to give a recommendation for picking out details with markers. The reason the yellow didn't show up was because it's ink, (think about trying to use a yellow marker on a red price of paper, it doesn't really work because they're both primary colors) But I want to recommend posco paint markers! They're just like painting, but it's.. yknow.. a marker. It's very convenient especially for situations like yours where painting with a brush would be or redundant or using an airbrush would be unethical. I highly recommend them, they're a godsend.
