[commanderwalker13]

LNER BOARD MEETING:

HEAD OPERATOR: ok let's talk about wheel slip.

lolol great video

[PalomboDylan]

the wheel slip thing was really cool.My live steam golden fleece never does that

[Heroduothecomedian]

so lucky next to the daylight express,one of the famous steam engines here in America i always wanted to get this version of the flying Scotsman,because i always liked the flying scotsman compared ti any other steam engine,other then thomas himself but im talking about real trains lol but i dont have that kind of money he cost for my layout :'(

[JATO457]

I saw wheelslip

[PlanesTV]

Search for "Hornby Live Steam pulling power" or copy paste this into the search bar v=T9jvfSR8vhU and you will see FS starting more slowly and pulling an amazing 30 coaches!

[topkazfatt]

@PlanesTV Thank you! suggestiv video for me.

[gc53dfgc]

Hey topkazfatt was this video tooken before the loco was fully run in? I noticed there was no whistle sounding when it went through the cycle of starting make sure after it has heated for 5-10 minutes that you tap the regulator bar on the controller not hold it down this will cause the engine to slip more than it should at start and go at a high speed also after the engine has heated up and is ready to move move the wheel to the II setting this is for running the loco.

[yliaDenaLtsaF]

I just noticed it is painted wrong. The piston cover was black as it is on the livesteam while it was with LNER but when it had the second tender was added it was also restored and repainted and when repainted the piston cover was painted the same colour as the rest of the loco, apple green. LOL, I am so nerdy.

[arandomguy222]

fast start

[darkhound891]

it sounded like a merlin engine when the wheels spun

[farouqleftback]

The starting is sooooooooo fake

-.--

[clusterfak]

Nice...especially nice since mine came in the mail today!

[SteamTrainz]

Will you get it fixed

[JD41796]

i gots one of these!

[trainlover657]

AND SHE'S OFF!

[sireljack]

omg wheel spin lmao

[wahiba]

The real ones used to spin there wheels just the same. I remember watching them at Newcastle Central - a long time ago.

[TomixNscale89]

Does it have DCC?

[Animaltrainer92]

no, becuase it is a live steam set, if you use a 12v or a dcc controler it will damage the loco.

same if you use a normal hornby loco with the live steam controler

[JBofBrisbane]

@TomixNscale89 - no, the electric current used to boil the water is fed through the rails, so you need a unique power supply & controller to operate this loco.

[MorkaGraven]

Needs more adhesion...

[buttercupline]

like the wheel slip at the begining

[bwarrrrk]

very realistic pulling away :P lol

[atleastitsnotcrack]

why do hornby models always go so fast? the electric motorised ones I normally find doubling the gear reduction would have been better

[AUTubeN22]

lol you'll burn da house down! your flying scotsman looks cool but pulling too much nice flying start but not good for tracks n wheels! nice vid!

[benfclark]

Model railways have a new dimension of detail now...

Nice vid, they have this set at a model shop close to where I live

[PrekiFromPoland]

Dual tender... intresting.

[ShadowStallions]

you shouldn't accelerate so fast, it will burn out the wheels

[Forevagrey]

no it wont burn out the wheels it will cause 'rough' spots witch lead to fracturing.

[KiwiLaaaa]

mate de greaser track thats wot causes the slidin

get a special type rubber +rub it over ur track

:)

[fitwomanlover]

bad start

[cech1444]

what is the point of a double tender?

[Ohyewildthong]

one holds water, one holds coal. Its so it can go a long way

[Hilux5972]

Actually the front tender holds water and Coal. The Second tender holds only water.

[ScalesandGills]

@Hilux5972

And it is a corridor tender, it also has a room where the relief crew can rest.

[IDOANYVIDS]

more water

[cech1444]

kk ty

[mecrazy5]

water and coal, its a long haul engine

[laservader1]

looks

[IDOANYVIDS]

the 2nd tender holds water and the first holds coal and water

[SticklebackDepot]

lovely wheelslip

[slymills]

nice wheel slip!! if i had the space and money id love to have 1 of them!! :D

[Daniel5343]

nice slip but i wouldnt let it slip all the time, i wouldnt let my Mallard slip.

[Hilux5972]

Could you put more of this loco on please?

[tomtomica2]

yes you should put a face on flying scotman

[eddierools]

Are you thinking on putting a face on that Flying Scotsman?

[Zorran202]

Does it always slip when pulling a train and would it feel hot after the friction of the wheels on the rails?

[tomtomica2]

LOVE IT!!!

[SignoreBoy]

Even if the model is difficult to operate, I think the wheel-slip there makes it rather realistic, in a way. Most locos do tend to loose grip slightly on starting 8-)

[BiggestThomasFan]

GREAT!

[ThomasnBear1D3]

Very nice locomotive!

[Typhoon6666]

FS sure seemed to have trouble with those coaches.

[topkazfatt]

No, coaches have no problem.

I tried several FS of HORNBY LIVE (at least 5 or more) for two years. Unfortunately, There is no FS that ran satisfactorily.

I think that this FS is a troublesome product.

Mallard is good!

[SuperDvsmith]

HEVY HANDED FOOL

[donaldthescotishtwin]

its beautiful

[Lego970]

COOL!

[tmurphy828]

Awesome

[thomasfilippo96]

is the train so heavy???

[thomasthetank2008]

Shouldn't be, there's only 2 coaches

[billyshoepack]

well theres all the part in the engine itself

[topkazfatt]

Live steam is not easy to controle. Especially, the start is difficult.

[hiesler]

Open the regulator, then shut it. Keep doing this until the engine starts to move. Worked for me when I was having a go at the Hornby stand.

[hiesler]

Nice. Ive never seen the double tender live steam one before, and I live in the UK!
