HORNBY | Valley Drifter Train Set

We take a closer look at the fantastic Valley Drifter train set!

The romance of the railways in the United Kingdom was arguably at its best when hundreds of minor railway lines traversed the countryside.

In those days the locomotive drivers would have unscheduled stops along the line picking up or dropping off goods as they meandered from village to village.

Consequently, it is not surprising that some of the local inhabitants who relied upon the railway would have called their local train 'Valley Drifter'.

Loving the music references you've made with the names of the engine & mining company

[bennickss]

Nice, but you could do with making some more sets which use TTS pre-fitted engines and DCC select controllers

I recently bought the Valley Drifter set. It goes perfectly with the Santa Express. They certainly stimulate the imagination and make a great less-serious side to railway modeling. I would like to suggest an expansion to these sets by the production of the Railroad four wheeled coaches in the same red livery and perhaps have individual reindeer nameplates, such as 'Rudolph' 'Blitzen' and the rest, thus making up a passenger Santa Express train. It would be interesting when trying to collect the full set of coaches. A Train pack would be even better.
I like the 101 type locos and have most of the GWR running numbers. I would want to collect different red liveried and named locos too.

Great product for stater kits with the new MagLite’s inside

Meanwhile the music at the background: *rock or heavy metal or what idk*

It's nice, but for me nothing beats the magic of Santa's Express.

[ZeldaTheSwordsman]

I see it includes the mutated RCH 7-plank wagon with backwards sides that was originally made for the Thomas clockwork range 😛

Looking at the GWR 101 with those colors affirms my opinion that Hornby really missed a trick by not doing Lady for their Thomas range to tie in with TatMR. Even if they didn't want to make a new tooling, the 101 could have been passably dolled up as her.

I have to roll my eyes at the number of comments whinging about the lack of DCC fitting/readiness. DCC has its uses, but it's not the be-all end-all. And in this sort of set all it would do is drive up the price.

Strictly speaking, that's a railer, not a *re*-railer.

Great video hornby Iv.e just subscribe to your channel hope this helps you out if I may ask were can I buy a hornby set of my own😊👍👍💜💜💜

[thomasfrancis]

OK, I understand the reference to Robert Fripp and his prog rock band King Crimson but where does Valley Drifter fit in with that?

[sirhilsam]

Looks a lot like my Hornby Santa Express

[joshrogan]

I'm glad I'm not the person who has to keep making up new names for these starter sets. Wonder what the next one will be called, Valley Rambler, Highland Drifter, Highland Flinger?

[cec_oregon]

Are you guys gonna make affordable locomotives anytime soon(like under 30 dollars)

[paja]

I've got that 040 loco blue diamond it's a old train been out a bit different colour

[richardswiderski]

nice little set would be nice to have them DCC ready.

[deauvilledad]

Super starter set but they need updating to the digital age.

[bentullett]

I like these little sets but I do feel that these little 0-4-0 locomotives need to be given a digital interface. Also the old Class 0F pug need to be upgraded to the digital age. Most of the Railroad range is DCC ready and there are smaller locomotives like the Ruston 48 and Peckett that are DCC ready.
