Looks great

Hello. KLASSE 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Thanks.......Fim🚂👮🏻🤚🏻

These have 3 pole motor, not five as stated in the video.

Mike. Please slow down on your verbal explanations.

No discussion on Accurascale vs Cavalex. The prospective purchaser is going to want to know which is best and doubtless that won't appear in the magazine once the models are delivered either. We want proper honest comparison and not one that flunks the issue for fear of losing advertising revenue.

did you ask them how they took all west hills coach magnetic couplings because theirs are totally rubbish. Due on the market for us mere mortals but they took the lot, winds me right up. i bet they got several 0 gauge deltic engines with paperwork too

Fantastic looking models and nice to see the class getting so much attention from two major manufacturers. Its hard to choose which locomotives from accurascale to order, though coal sector is certainly tempting...

You just know that these will be great models. Preordered 60 001 as this will be the correct type for the era that I am doing. Just need to get a test coach .

Nice. But why no BR Standard 3MT 77XXX Mogul, even now?!

I am getting about 3-4 of these for my collection. Although I do cover O gauge mainly. I welcome this news with warmth and I am looking forward to seeing the progress.

Can We have 60008 Moel Famau in two tone grey. Please!

Very impressive model and very impressive depth of knowledge about the class!

Pre ordered 60018 from my local John Dutfields. Ken very coolly sold me the 56, 56018 and what a loco that is. ❤

Proper knowledge and working for a proper model manufacturer.

Looks more red than maroon on the EWS livery

This guy has a seemingly encyclopedic knowledge of the class.

Long live class 60!! Did your friend know about the rolling rubber ring primary suspension saga?

It's a nice model but I don't like the fixed working lamps because in that configuration it denotes a class 8 freight which is a fully unfitted freight like a long coal train of 4 wheel wagons with no continuous brakes. I would have been better if Hornby had included all the lamp irons and made them all powered so that with their own range of working lamps then any code configuration could be shown. That's just a half arsed attempt whereas with powered lamp irons allowing any code configuration to be displayed that would have been a huge leap forward and of course including a diagram of which trains carried which code.

Its a pity the Hornby class 66 could ve better and adding lights!!

Wish they made a Class 40 in this scale

Another piece of Chinese made crap supporting their military growth, aggression towards neighbours, use of slaves labour and genocide in Tibet... No, there is zero excuse for Hornby to manufacture three and while they do they have lost me as a potential customer

Apart from the fact it broke, and this is the second one you have had. its great XD Makes me laugh. Its pretty but its garbage and not that well thought out.

The comment I do not want to support the hobby is totally incorrect - I have about 100 locomotives, two hundred coaches and at least 300 wagons and run a large 'at home' railway. Unfortunately Hornby models over the last three years have been the most problematic of all the manufacturers so that is why I will not be buying Hornby again.

This model just gives me the feeling that if it just had another few months of refinements and another engineering prototype stage then it’d have been superb. Just feels slightly rushed due to the numerous issues reported. Quality control processes also need a serious review.

At the inflated price there shouldn't be any issues... I said I wouldn't buy one and I haven't, and will Not! A Brassmasters kit for £30.00 will make a big upgrade difference.

She does look good I am waiting for the steam generator version later in the year.👍

I see the haters are out again (that wasn't aimed at you hornbymag). I have seen more positive reviews of this Black 5 than negative ones. I somehow feel the number of negative experiences are being over-exaggerated, although I certainly accept the issues have been real. I'm staying true to the course and hope I will have the spare cash to buy the smoke generator one when it comes out later this year.

How are the inner carriages coupled?

I have a steam generator one on order and have been waiting 2 1/2 years now, watching the reviews on UA-cam highlighting all the problems from the manufacturer i’m considering counselling this order.

My eye was immediately drawn to the fingerprints/glue marks and botched bits of paintwork. I wonder if the models released after the initial launch are better (the BR era models)

Hi, Technically, when the Black 5 with capprotti valve gear is released, it will not be the 1st ready to run model fitted with it, what about the Hornby Duke of Gloucester?, good review otherwise.

Ultimate black 5 it sounds any thing but with the reviews that I've seen on UA-cam

So this is the second one you have tested as the first failed? If so a real problem as others have had issues and returned this loco. The lamp situation is also a totally impractical solution to adding working lights and why a working light on the tender when pulling a train? Will not be buying this model. JP

so many reviews are showing issues with the kinematic coupler, has hornby addressed this issue, or you were lucky to get one that worked

I remember ten years ago when a model this size cost about £30 why are they suddenly so expensive, this costs the same as the tornado model did when it first came out

Was it DCC fitted? Is your layout DCC?

Not worth it I got one and it was not made well. Also, they glued the lights in so you can't change them very easy.

I am now confused, the specs state it is a 3-pole motor, but Mike Field states it is still a 5-pole motor. Is this an up to date re-working of the model out in the stockists or the same?

YES ! We have no bananas , No bananas today !

I purchased a Bachmann 31-424SF (4TEP) sound fitted variant (very heavily discounted) and I can see why! The rigid drawbar connection is a real pain. So awkward to couple together. I usually run all my locos and coaching stock using "Hunt" type magnetic couplings and sadly - there is no other alternative to use on the 4TEP because of the electrical continuity needed for the lights to function. It's either "Hunt" couplings and no lights, or the rigid drawbar couplings and lights. Also, the DCC decoder is highly visible inside the driving end. Quite disappointed to be honest.

Lovely model 👍♥️

360 quid and the paint finish is pretty crap tastic. no clean crisp edges anywhere!

At £262 even die hard enthusiasts will avoid buying it These were my local trains for years I’m a life long railway fan both model and real life I just haven’t got the finances for it 😢

They remind me of the N gauge Farish model of the 80s being overly narrow at the cab ends.Its a pity as I was looking forward to these.

In NZ that £362.99 will become about $NZ800.00! For that money, I have just had a four day break including motel and petrol money for 800 km motoring in my three litre Nissan Maxima V6! I am a Southern Electric modeller, but I won’t be buying at that price! Now semi-retired in Picton, South Island, New Zealand.

Really needs the Rail Blue and Grey livery option, complete with the orange window curtains. This was the livery that these units spent the longest time in (approx, 1972 to 1988) yet it seems to always have been absent from the range

Overkill with the screws, are you expecting an earthquake on your layout 😂

They look nice, although to choose to do the sole Southern liveried one seems silly when they could've done others more suitable for renumbering. The price is too high, and I wouldn't spend more than £200 on a 4-car unit tbh. Also, the audio on this video is shocking...

a very nice train im sure, but 360 odd quid😲😲 for a 30/40 pound motor🧐 and some cheap Chinese plastic and cheap Chinese led's🧐, im out🙄, maybe at a price point of £200 sound fitted then i'd buy one🤔
