Hornby R30361 Thompson L1 Overview Ross Nation 2025-11-24 | Hello and welcome back,In today’s video we take a look at my latest acquisition in one of Hornby’s recently relaunched Thompson L1s.I’m not really a reviewer or a fan of doing reviews as it incurs the wrath of the armchair brigade but today I thought this would be a nice little detail to show off some of the changes and detail differences between the new model ‘67735’ and my older model of L1 ‘67772’.At one point in the video I did make a slip of the tongue and said a bout a J70 I once owned being a Hornby one when I meant to say Rapido.Anyways enough waffle I hope you enjoy this video. See you in next months quarterly update.CheersRoss

Christmas message and Running Session 2024 Ross Nation 2024-12-21 | Hello and Welcome Back,Today’s video is the last for 2024. It’s a few days early but that is intentionally done as I’m going to be very busy over Christmas and New Year.We’ve had many triumphs and models being completed as well as the disastrous series on the coronation coaches.Since the three part series of those coaches I’ve decided not to bother with talking about any models on the channel. Too many know it all arm chair warriors who’d rather attack people than get off their arses and do it themselves. So from now on it’ll only be updates on the layout, Running sessions or projects being done to stock for the layout. No doubt coming under fire from angry arm chairs again but oh well.On a more happy note. Have a lovely Christmas period and happy modelling in 2025.See you all in the new year, Thanks for watching.Cheers
