Oxford Ambience, midday chimes in Christchurch Meadows Posted by: JimTLonW6
Video duration: 102 seconds One of the sounds of Oxford is the bells of Magdalen, Merton, and Christchurch Colleges chiming across Christchurch Meadow.

Hornby-Dublo vintage model railway Diesel Shunter Posted by: JimTLonW6
Video duration: 26 seconds The Hornby Dublo diesel shunter was a late model from the period when Meccano couldn't make up their mind about using plastic! It's a reasonable model apart from a huge fixing screw, and has reasonable haulage although I could use more! In this video it's doing very well with a short train of old, metal wheeled, Dublo wagons Related: hornby-dublo, model, railway, train, meccano, vintage, collector Display Video Comments | Hide Video Comments | Add Comment |

Hornby-Dublo R1 Tank locomotive on goods train Posted by: JimTLonW6
Video duration: 29 seconds This is the Hornby-Dublo tank engine hauling a lengthy train of Trix Private Owner Wagons. I've gone in a bit closer here so something of the detail of the Trix wagons can be seen; more of the train itself can be seen in my other video of the R1 Related: hornby-dublo, trainset, model, railways, meccano, trix, vintage, collection Display Video Comments | Hide Video Comments | Add Comment |

Hornby-Dublo Silver King and Bristol Castle Posted by: JimTLonW6
Video duration: 31 seconds 'Silver King' replaced the original 'Sir Nigel Gresley' in the 1950's and continued until 1959 or 1960. It's hauling the short-lived LNER coaches which had printed window representations rather than perspex. It's a serviceable locomotive, very reliable, but lacks the detailed valve gear of some of the other Dublo engines.
