it's been a while since I was on the forum so please forgive me,to day Sunday my wife and I took our BLACK WATCH we Train

you call them Locos to our HORNBY O gauge Club it had not been out of the box for some time

We took  the 3 Tinplate coaches that belong to the set along to see how it would run

so if this works are 3 photographs

and a youtube video the sound is nothing special

Thank you gentlemen I like what you call tinplate because the HORNBY O gauge Trains

were clock work and you had a nice big shinny key to wind the train with,

you could pick the rolling stock up easy with it beining big and made of tin, it could take a bit of a crash and be OK  not like what you call 2 Rail HO we know it as OO ie half of O  it was plastic they did make some sets in clock work but in my day  most of the HORNBY Train Sets were 12v DC Electric  I do have a Clock work set from the 1960tys the loco is smaller in size but it's O gauge Tinplate the rails have seen better days but it runs fine on K Line or Lionel 3 Rail if you have a look at some of my you tube videos from our HORNBY Club you will see 3 different types of O Gauge My first sight of a USA Loco in O gauge was at the HORNBY Club

my wife Christine and I are fascinated by the size of the big boys and Challengers we do have a M T H Rail King Challenger among others  but this is tinplate so I'll say no more 2015-06-21 13.44.23
