Great review! The one on the box is 46443 on the SVR. I was pulled by her from Bewdley to Bridgnorth back in October 2006. By the way my Bachmann S&DJR 53809, & SR N class mogul are both permantly coupled to there tenders, however 53809 has the small chip and wires like that one, the SR N class doesn't. Strange, lol. :)
An easy way to tell if it's BR or LMS is the livery. BR's black was usually lined and LMS unlined, although there were exceptions. Also, if you want to get behind a Ivattt 2MT, 46512 is fresh from an overhall at the Strathspey Railway in Aviemore. Fantastic loco on a fantastic railway. :)
this is one of the few new 4mm models I've been umming and ahhhing about since it came out. My best mate has an old Hornby one, he repainted it in London Transport livery. Strangely, it looked right!
The br loco on the photo no 46443 I know the fireman of the loco in the steam days and he is still alive from this day been watching your videos for 2 year keep it up you have a brilliant UA-cam channel and the nick name of the locos are (Micky mouse)
an hour each way does seem a little excessive for a toy train with a tiny electric motor. They probably state that to make it sound more like the real engine. :)
@thing2liv - you're quite right, this was filmed a long time ago. I am aware of the actual tender 0-6-0 locos it replaced such as the Fowlers and so on. I shall annotate the video at once :)
This is very similar in its looks to Ivatt's Class 4s, which were nicknamed "Flying Pigs". They apparently had a tendency to slip their brakes and run off; one of them ran off a turntable into a ditch, and another ran away down the main line. That appears to be a dryer sheet she was wrapped in. No, NEM does not mean you are free to remove them and replace them with whatever coupler you like. It means you are free to remove them and install a Kadee Magne-Matic or other knuckle coupling. That is what they are designed for - all they are designed for. If what you like is a bigger more useful tension-lock, then you have to hack stuff out of the way or rig up a filler of some sort depending. Because oh, no, they couldn't just make nonferrous or plastic hooks standard across the board and attach cheap ferrous tabs to them at the factory so that tension locks could magnetically uncouple. No, they had to make tension-locks that were designed to be replaced and then add insult to injury by shrinking them in a failed attempt to make them less conspicuous. What is it with you and being blind to unpainted cab detail most of the time?! No, really, what the hell gives?! "Just a couple of shutoff valves"? There's a ton of piping leading to them like there should be, firehole doors, a regulator, dampers, the works! Hell, you even missed some of the stuff that WAS painted: the handbrake and the gauges! Do you need heavy-duty glasses or something?! AAAARGH YOU ARE OVERALL SUCH A TALENTED AND THOROUGH REVIEWER BUT YOU ALMOST ALWAYS COMPLETELY FAIL IN THIS ONE AREA!
Awesome review, my son loves this video and its added to playlist. He loves this video so much that he asks me to act like I am reviewing any train using your words. Well he is just 4, I was thinking of introducing him ho gauge trains, not sure which would be a good starter kit. Any suggestions will really help.
It all Depends on location. Are you in the US? If so, try the Pacific Flyer from bachmann. If you are in the UK, try the Hornby Industrial Goods Set! Both are good for beginners
I just ordered the HO echo valley train set today for $180 and it comes with the Bachmann (DCC equipped) 2-6-0 mogul Southern steam engine, and this will be my first DCC steam engine.
@LegoArtsProduction ideally with all locomotives you get, Hornby don't specify but it is a good idea if you want the best performance from your engines if they haven't been run for a while.
Very nice review. However, I would like to have you tell us at least the MSRP so that one can have an idea as to what the loco costs. Also, where to buy it would be good too since I don't trust E-bay. Thanks.
Awesome! U ever purchase any steam with dcc & sound on them? They might suit you. Especially for holiday and excursion runs. (like my lsr&c railway normally does)
Maybe there's some way you can adapt a bridge rectifier to a DPDT switch, worked by the reversing mechanism from an older Märklin loco. Other than that, I think it would just be too much trouble. Märklin do not place a high priority on interchange with other manufacturers' products.
These were often refered as Micky Mouse locos as they are supposed to look like him from the front apparently. I can tell you have had five cups of coffee you seem to be very alive lol. Also if you want to ride on something similar to one of these theres a BR standard 2 at great central which looks very alike to this, saw it there last weekend, fabulous loco, railway and video. Im going to have to get one of these!
Thanks for video this little 'Mickey Mouse' is a Loco that I have a lot of time for. From early on it was and is a staple in any of my layouts. Just mad about them and there larger relatives the 'Muckey Duck' or 'Flying Pig' as Zelda alluded to. I have always known these two locos by the names I used.
What was in that coffee? :) only joking, great review - don't have any steam locos on my layout as it's modern image but always nice to see them being reviewed.

Wow..... Hyper Will! I think we've found your superpower - the ability to very quickly and enthusiastically review model trains!
The br loco on the photo no 46443 I know the fireman of the loco in the steam days and he is still alive from this day been watching your videos for 2 year keep it up you have a brilliant UA-cam channel and the nick name of the locos are (Micky mouse)
I have several DCC Sound locos now, all steam. A vid on the Pannier Tank has been done and a Black 5 and A4 are to come.
She looks awesome cant wait for her to see her running on your proper layout with some coaches
@Hancockified - thanks! And yes the one you mention is easy to get hold of too.
an hour each way does seem a little excessive for a toy train with a tiny electric motor. They probably state that to make it sound more like the real engine. :)
Great review but the Ivatt 2-6-0s were built to replace the Class 2F 0-6-0s which are tender engines. The Jintys are Class 3F 0-6-0s
I have also seen the loccomotive oin the bachman description thingy as she is part of the SVR home fleet
@AstroTrainboy1174 it really depends on the tunnel. Tracks and trains are built to exact sizes and standards. But tunnels aren't.
@StrikeStarProduction nice! She's a cracking little loco really - will do any job you ask of her
great review as always will!
I really want one of these engines. I'm wanting one of the Late Crest British Railways ones (preferably green lol). Another fantastic video
@thing2liv - you're quite right, this was filmed a long time ago. I am aware of the actual tender 0-6-0 locos it replaced such as the Fowlers and so on. I shall annotate the video at once :)
@EqualityScotland - thanks for the comment! I shall bear that in mind for all future steam locos I take a look at, thank you.
either a standard DCC chip or a sound chip, yes.
excellent looking loco. i really enjoy watching your reviews
Our boy loves your videos. Well done!!!
@lordmattis94 - I'm afraid I have no idea. The motors in all of the locomotives I've ever encountered are DC motors.
Great reveiw as always Will!
Very good video, i want one of these myself.
I love the LMS steam locos and I still need to try and get myself one in LMS black like yours is and great vid
@jaannetts16 - thanks Jaike! Yeah they really are cracking little engines.
hi i went on one at the strathspey steam railway at avimore (scotland) and there absoluty stunning
@ClassA4Mallard - I think I will definitely be doing it to ones that can have it done yes.
@ardnut53: That was the "Emerald Knight" Lego Trainset locomotive. Modelled closely after the LNER A3.

@spiderduuude - I can't remember actually, Hattons I think. But it was bought many, many months ago.
it's a great little loco!

It all

hlkp
I started out with a Hornby smokey joe kit when I was 6 I still have it and many more trains
@streamlinedtrains - haha, it is a bit hyper isn't it? The oddest thing? The coffee was decaff?! I'm clearly not of Earth origin. Vulcan possibly.
nice loco,you convinced me Will,cheers for uploading.
@InterCity82 Yeah she runs nice but one of the steps on the tender feel off when it was being shiped out but it can glue it back on
I've a Ivatt 2MT in LMS livery to replace the 4MT. I like the 2MT cos it's a small tender engine I rely wanted to have and now I have one.
I've been working on one for over a year. I have a lot of videos to upload first!
I just ordered the HO echo valley train set today for $180 and it comes with the Bachmann (DCC equipped) 2-6-0 mogul Southern steam engine, and this will be my first DCC steam engine.
The noise that the 2MT makes while running somewhat sounds like an actual steam engine!
hi will what was that big loco on the side of the track?? also great vid!!
You did get them in the south. The only difference was that everywhere else they carried BR2 tenders. In the south they carried(hauled!) BR1B tenders.
note: the 0-6-0 are NOT jintys, an 0-6-0 is a tender engine. a jinty is a 0-6-0T as it is a tank engine.
@LegoArtsProduction ideally with all locomotives you get, Hornby don't specify but it is a good idea if you want the best performance from your engines if they haven't been run for a while.
I highly suggest you oil the rods on her. I can hear them grinding on each other. By doing that, she will perform much smoother.
ivatt's the name of the designer, the wheel arrangement is a 2-6-0 mogul :) hope this helped
Great review! I just go my City of Manchester today in the mail (finaly) =D
@IrishRail123 - thanks for the feedback!
Very nice review. However, I would like to have you tell us at least the MSRP so that one can have an idea as to what the loco costs. Also, where to buy it would be good too since I don't trust E-bay. Thanks.
I will take a trip to my local shop. They know what to do.
@cyberkidmfb - for what locomotive?
Awesome! U ever purchase any steam with dcc & sound on them? They might suit you. Especially for holiday and excursion runs. (like my lsr&c railway normally does)
i love this locomotive, i have the BR late livery.
@mcgherkinstudios - oh gosh?! transcribe audio? Is there a way I can improve my videos for such a service?
@FergDaddy101 - yes, the Emerald Night!
I dont know if my eyes are going but i think i seen a big locomotive in the backround
Was the 'midnight freight' hauled by a class 58!
another great video will. when will the website be up?
I've said this before but I thought this would be a great video to say it again on. Ever considered reviewing Bachmanns Ivatt 4mt thanks
Maybe there's some way you can adapt a bridge rectifier to a DPDT switch, worked by the reversing mechanism from an older Märklin loco. Other than that, I think it would just be too much trouble. Märklin do not place a high priority on interchange with other manufacturers' products.
can you review the bachmann spectrumm n&w j-class?
@LMS16440 - thank you little buddy!
great video
@pmerbay - before the end of October hopefully - follow me on Twitter for the latest updates.
2:19 FINALLY, someone who knows how to use an apostrophe!
@cubeproduktion - possibly! As a special thing one day, maybe :)
Never thought id find my name on youtube, the wonders of youtube surfing and boredom.

Why does the mechanism look like the ALCO 2-6-0 bachmann is coming out with soon (have mine preordered). When was this made/ released?
@tpe18509 - thank you my friend!
@donaldengine9 - lol, you mean Emerald Night :P
@modeltrainman12345 - not sure to be honest, but it is quite old. From about 2007 I think.
@LegoArtsProduction - NICE!
Thanks for the comment!
You can get a rolling road!
It's pretty much the work they were built for. =)
you can go on one of these in 2013 on the watercress line in mid hampshire, google it then go to works then loco's
i think some of these still run on the elr (east lancashire railway)
Where can you get this?
nice locomotive,i loved it lol
now thats a nice model
you know that in America the 2-6-0 configuration steam loco is called the Mogul.
Hi Will it says one hour in each direction, what is you only have an end to end layout not a loop?
@InterCity82 Thanks for the info
@AstroTrainboy1174 if you get near Crewe let me know!
@USAtrain129 - they're great aren't they?!
Nice. I might get this one. Can you please tell me what kind of DCC Chip i need for this?
I feel like the product description on whatever retailer website you end up getting it on will tell you.
At 5:55 you said "A little socket for a chip.."
Like a sound chip or something like that?
Love this loco
What was in that coffee? :) only joking, great review - don't have any steam locos on my layout as it's modern image but always nice to see them being reviewed.
Wait you have to run your engine in each direction when you open it?!? Is this onley for Bachmann?
is there going to be a review on the emerald night?
What does Ivatt mean? The wheel configuration?
I got one, its very nice, but I want, put it a decoder sound , I don't know where buy it. I live in Mexico.
@MegaTrainlover any standard 8pin chip is fine
@lordmattis94 - AC? Why would you want to do that?
I just purchased that model in br green, beauty isn't she checj out my opening
i wish we in the Usa could get the European locomotives
You can. models11.com or www.hattons.co.uk or www.modelrailwayimports.com or www.gaugemaster.com
do you recommend this for branchline/banking operations? i'm thinking of getting one :)
cheers
@DaRkCaBoOdLe137 - maybe as a bonus in the future.
