It's weird I see this character appearing just as the franchise went SOUTH BIG TIME. To see Bachmann has done this is wild. I think they need more colour (USA color) contrast in the face v moustache. Is that the KATO track system, if so that's classy stuff. I was given a KATO track layout and it really impressed me.
Oh hey Leo, I remember when I was younger and I watched UA-cam using my grandmothers account I remember my favorite videos were the mad bomber Thomas videos!
Bachmann when they see Stepney: 😟 Bachmann when they see a random character that has 5 minutes of screen time and does basically nothing and is never seen again: 😳
I would know! As I have own it. 😏 It’s just that Stepney (as well as diesel 10) are heavily requested by fans, both have reasons to avoid being made, but I don’t think any soul wanted beau
@@ScarfNJamsupposedly the reason D10 won’t be made is because his claw would make him too tall, which is suspect considering container cars are taller than he’d be. Stepney? Well he’s simply not “current” enough
Honestly, looking at it from a business perspective, it makes perfect sense why they decided to make Beau. They already have an abundance of different 4-4-0 toolings, and here is this obscure CG series character that fits the bill perfectly. It’s a very cheap and easy way for Bachmann to get some more money off the license and you can hardly blame em for taking that route with that in mind. It was also the fact that the tooling already existed why they didn’t add the buffers up front. Personally, I think that’s for the better. He looks way better without the buffers and it just makes him look more American.
SIDE NOTE: as for Beau’s good pulling power, that’s probably because of his fitted traction tires. That’s standard on all Bachmann 4-4-0s given their lightweight
Hank & Connor could be next (just pure speculation and waiting for the timing of that announcement when it comes) based off of the fact that Bachmann has the tooling for them
I can also see lots of people being it for being an american thomas character, it is indeed a great business decision. I also liked him better without the buffers, he does look more american
Really liking how Beau has a functional buckeye coupling, would love to outfit a Thomas with one for an Americanized version. Very cool that it came in a block of ice. 0:33 Sam Elliot for Beau is too iconic 😂
First time seeing the block of ice in the Bachmann Thomas packaging. As for Beau, he looks pretty interesting. Wasn't expecting a Bachmann model of him.
As stated in the previous comment, here’s hoping that Bachmann will make more one-off characters in the future like Dexter the red brake coach from season 22! Awesome review btw, and I personally think Beau looks amazing!!! 🤩
@@rodimussupreme2329it’s lazy but it works, Beau is literally just an American 4-4-0, why would they make a new tooling when they already have a new one at their disposal. The eye mechs always look odd anyway, and bump up the prices more than they need to be.
@rodimussupreme2329 I love the model they reused anyway so, I'm probably a little biased tbh. As for the lack of moving eyes, I feel like this model is too small for that anyway. Besides, they're no real loss tbh
Amazing unboxing and review on the Bachmann Beau, it’s so cool how it has a knuckle coupler on the front since American train locomotives have knuckle couplers and it’s a shame that the eyes don’t move
@trainboy over the past month or two, I've rewashed TATMR about 3 times as I'm a bit nervous to start school(Sept 3rd) as I just moved. But something I really hope they di world wide for it's 30th Year anniversary is they put tatmr in theaters again because I was born 7 years after and never got the experience of seeing it in theaters
Can you do a review of the Bachmann N scale Toby (and possibly your reaction on the painted samples kf N scale Gordon and Emily), Tomica AEG Thomas and Percy (maybe other 2 characters) to compare with the Mattel Push Along ones, and also the Diapet Thomas line?? You’d definitely love the Diapet Thomas models
I understand why Bachmann didn’t make Beau with the moving eye mechanism but reuse the Jupiter tooling to save money. All the same, the standard face gives me the feeling of Hornby making an official comeback towards the Thomas range yet again.
Yo guys, quick question, is there anystore that is in FL that sells Tomy Thomas? Or A Tomy store? I really need to get my hands on a store to improve my collection.
Yo trainboy, do you have any minis factory errors? I do since today, the minis now are not surprise and when I saw a WEIRD ass Henry and then I saw a normal one I said “holly molly a factory error!” Then I got him for 1. 47 $ in a FRICKIN HEB! So yeah, now I have a model series accurate Henry, from that time when he used Gordon’s confused face (that’s what I call that face)
They can make new engines but for some reason can’t make new faces for the old engines… still pretty cool to see and I can see a good few people putting proper knuckle couplers on him
Hank won’t happen because Mattel forbid them from making non-CGI engines. Plus given how some people claim that Beau is an odd or unnecessary choice for Bachmann, I don’t see why Hank should be made.
Hey Trainboy. I’ve recently started a project. I’m trying to make a season 1 inspired Thomas in HO. However, Shapeways went bankrupt so I can’t get a shell from there. Do you have any recommendations on who I should ask to get the shell, faces and details?
Hmmm, if i ever take another attempt at the eggman boss engine i might get this dude. Which reminds me, i need to assemble the General, which is currently painted to be that boss fight engine
Even though no one asked for any BWBA characters to be made by Bachmann, I'll admit I think I'll get both with time as I am rather curious about them. And also partially because I want to add more 4-4-0s to my model railroad roster.
Ola Train Boy: I've made your video of the trackmaster lot and I hear you're missing the box that goes well with Roky, luckily for you I'm a fan of yours and I have the box that you're looking for, I'd like to know if you wanted to exchange it for one of your duplicate locomotives if you're interested send me a message. 🙃👋
I’m not a fan of the CGI series, and definitely not a fan of Reboot series either, but it’s interesting that Beau has an American/U.S. coupler at the front, and a British/U.K./European coupler at the back.
Hope ur doing good man ! On the topic of this release - I think it’s so so so whatever , I like the idea of not using moving eyes cus I’ve always found them annoying but overall for such a high price point this is a pretty crappy release

great way to unbox thomas merch
Hi Leo
ITS THE LEGAND
Oh hey Leo, I remember when I was younger and I watched UA-cam using my grandmothers account I remember my favorite videos were the mad bomber Thomas videos!
Bachmann when they see Stepney: 😟
Bachmann when they see a random character that has 5 minutes of screen time and does basically nothing and is never seen again: 😳
Pretty sure they don't make TTTE Stepney because he's already a real engine with existing models. (Feel free to um actually)
I would know! As I have own it. 😏
It’s just that Stepney (as well as diesel 10) are heavily requested by fans, both have reasons to avoid being made, but I don’t think any soul wanted beau
Heck, the only other known merch of beau was a thomas wood item, and that was CANCELLED.

0:33 Sam Elliot for Beau is too iconic 😂
This is the first ever Beau model to be released! Not counting wood though, because that one got canned, both unpainted and painted.
Well, here’s hoping that Beau will be released in the newer 2022 Wooden Railway format. Then he would look a lot better.
Can we then officially say Beau is the only character in the franchise with 100% accurate merch every time 😂
Beau might be American guys
EDIT: some of these people cannot tell I am joking, or they're just Joke Explainer 9000s.
He like a creepy uncle🗿
Might be he's based off an American engine entirely
Looks Scandinavian imo
Really?!?
@@TrampyFanlumbago
I’m glad that Bachmann didn’t give Beau buffers because he looks better without them
Bachmann was like: EWWWW British things. Get the hell away from my american models
Agreed
First time seeing the block of ice in the Bachmann Thomas packaging. As for Beau, he looks pretty interesting. Wasn't expecting a Bachmann model of him.
Beau is basically Sam Elliott but a locomotive
The best drink for a good running session with it is definitely a cool, rocky-mountain-brewed Coors.
Are you saying Beau fought at Gettysburg?
1:45.
Edward: "Am I a joke to you?"
As stated in the previous comment, here’s hoping that Bachmann will make more one-off characters in the future like Dexter the red brake coach from season 22! Awesome review btw, and I personally think Beau looks amazing!!! 🤩
I can see Dexter most definitely happening, he has appeared in CGI, they already have made a red brake coach, all they gotta do is make a face
When Beau released, I was REALLY excited to see what Trainboy would think while reviewing it!
Beau is literally the last character I expected to get a model but Bachmann definitely knocked it out of the park with this!
They literally just reused an existing model they had and slapped a face in it. Eyes don’t even move. This is lazy.
@@rodimussupreme2329it’s lazy but it works, Beau is literally just an American 4-4-0, why would they make a new tooling when they already have a new one at their disposal. The eye mechs always look odd anyway, and bump up the prices more than they need to be.

Beau looks pretty nice but I can't wait to see what you do to him. Great job
I'm gonna have to get this model. Beau is growing on me more and more in terms of the bachmann model
"I'm HO"
"And I'm OO"
The 16.5 mm gauge brothers
They did not have to go THIS hard for a model of BEAU of all characters! Props, Bachmann!
HONEY, WAKE UP!!!! OUR BELOVED TRAINBOY UPLOADED
Amazing unboxing and review on the Bachmann Beau, it’s so cool how it has a knuckle coupler on the front since American train locomotives have knuckle couplers and it’s a shame that the eyes don’t move
The funniest thing is that because the Bachmann Thomas line is OO, it means that the Reno tooling they used for Beau is finally in scale
he's slowly turning into leokimvideo he has the mat now
*BACHMANN, WHERE ARE MY TRACTION TIRES?*
Dach
They need to do a Hank. There is no excuse not to do a Hank.
They’ll only do the CGI characters.
@@IDKstudiousif that wasn’t a rule, Bachmann could easily repurpose the tooling for the K4 they made before
@bladeobrian2144 No way bachmann would retool their $500 K4 and somehow make it cheap without ruining it
@@therailfanman2078 They may still have the old Spectrum K4 tooling which they would probably use instead
@@trainlegolover1211 I'd be surprised if they did. But if they did have that, I guess it could work
So ironic that “Stepney is too complex and people might not even know who he is”
yet he get this dude that was shown for 37 seconds
Mattel won’t allow Bachmann to make Stepney due to him not being in CGI. Mattel claims he’s “not relevant enough”.
The king is back !
you need to get that man some proper American boxcars and flat-beds
Since he is a mining engine in the series, some jenny ores!!
I love the Thomas in the background
Glad to see you're uploading again!, loved the intro with Beau and Thomas, also what happened to James in the background?
Beau is definitely a interesting character hes the first to not have moving eyes, first to habe a reused tooling, and working headlight
Been a while nice to see you uploading again
Hilarious that you bring up Sam Elliot, considering a character he plays is named Beau Bennett.
It's good to see you back man
@trainboy over the past month or two, I've rewashed TATMR about 3 times as I'm a bit nervous to start school(Sept 3rd) as I just moved. But something I really hope they di world wide for it's 30th Year anniversary is they put tatmr in theaters again because I was born 7 years after and never got the experience of seeing it in theaters
Beau is the same model as the Bachmann Jupiter
Beau has the same moustache as Wild West from Family Guy
An amazing model (my biggest complaint is the overall size.)
Well mid-19th Century 4-4-0's were pretty small especially in relation to modern locos so....
Ooh, more Trainboy! It sure has been a while. Glad to see you uploading again! Also, I agree with you. Beau does look like Sam Elliott lol
This was a good review. But if you are planning to do an upgrade video, I am definitely gonna watch it, as I'd wanna upgrade Beau when I get him.
Can you do a review of the Bachmann N scale Toby (and possibly your reaction on the painted samples kf N scale Gordon and Emily), Tomica AEG Thomas and Percy (maybe other 2 characters) to compare with the Mattel Push Along ones, and also the Diapet Thomas line?? You’d definitely love the Diapet Thomas models

I can't help but think Beau's cab makes him look like a narrow gauge engine. Even to that of his cab size being the size of the Casey Junior.
The new layout looking fire TB!
Awesome video trainboy I have a Thomas wood beau 😊
I like bachmann beau. It's just so odd that they decided to release him of all characters
The reason why they made him is just incredibly simple. They have half a million 4-4-0 toolings, they just reused one of them.
Lametrain is that you?
@@CrocygatorStudios yessir
Where do you get your track?
You know what wouldn be a good build model for Halloween this year. "The Killdane experiment" engine
Very nice model, bachmann with another amazing thomas model
Amazing video keep up the good work and remember don't have a good day have a great day
I like the edit way more better than original has more running footage of Beau.
Fantastic review video Trainboy
Yo guys, quick question, is there anystore that is in FL that sells Tomy Thomas? Or A Tomy store? I really need to get my hands on a store to improve my collection.
@@PercyPlank Tomy Thomas does not exist in the U.S. anymore; eBay or a second hand shop like a peddlers mall will be your only option sadly :/
@@ItsTrainBoy awe, thanks for the info!

You should rate each day out with thomas events, (including the ones you did 3 years ago or smth)
Beau has the “I saw 10,000 men killed at Shiloh” look.
Nice video TrainBoy. Keep up the good work. 👍
They can make new engines but for some reason can’t make new faces for the old engines… still pretty cool to see and I can see a good few people putting proper knuckle couplers on him
i never knew this one until i went on ebay
PLEASE, do a video on hello Thomas and James, I really wanna hear what you think of it
Will you ever do day out with Thomas again?
Could be worse, bachmanns older 4-4-0s were tender driven with a driveshaft running between the engine and tender
Good review! Did you dismantle the Tidmouth layout? I’m just asking since you weren’t running on the layout this time.
Bachmann needs to make Connor and hank!!!
Hank won’t happen because Mattel forbid them from making non-CGI engines. Plus given how some people claim that Beau is an odd or unnecessary choice for Bachmann, I don’t see why Hank should be made.
I have some American cars with the Thomas couplers
Might as well grab this
Very good and I have to order me one

Hmmm, if i ever take another attempt at the eggman boss engine i might get this dude. Which reminds me, i need to assemble the General, which is currently painted to be that boss fight engine
bros back!!!
Dang the beginning is insane
Why didn’t they update the style guide of the box to the current one, like the UK version?
Beau is nice, but I’m more interested in how you obtained the paint can flatbed.
Is this the first official Bachman engine that can connect to both hook & loop and knuckle coupler?
So what are your rating of Bachman beau on a scale of 1 to 10 out of 10
He literally said 8 in the video.
@@OriginalBongoliath well I did not know
Who made the bridge you have? I have ho unitrack like this and I've been trying to find a bridge

Bought 2, sent back 2. Both arrived damaged from different retailers. Hoping third time is the charm.
I love the old western American engine styles
That's one of my favorite
Have you ever heard of the engine 4014?😮

Why do they make the most random character and not more of main ones but I still like the style of it
I’m not a fan of the CGI series, and definitely not a fan of Reboot series either, but it’s interesting that Beau has an American/U.S. coupler at the front, and a British/U.K./European coupler at the back.
When did you make your own Thomas? I haven’t seen the video if you even made a video
Bro I laughed at the opening scene 😭😭😂😂😂🙏🙏🙏
the reason he runs so well could be because he has traction tires on some of the drivers.
Awesome Unboxing
Chimney?!???! That's a balloon stack ment to keep the sparks from the wood smoke in the stack so the ground won't catch fire
Can you review the cool props Thomas model
9:17 is that james im seeing? 🤨
are you building a new layout again?
new thomas custom?
We've got Beau so who will we have next? Fernando?
He looks more like Sam Elliot. In fact in the show The Ranch starring Sam, he plays a character litterly named Beau.
Giddie up, yall🤠
Hope ur doing good man ! On the topic of this release - I think it’s so so so whatever , I like the idea of not using moving eyes cus I’ve always found them annoying but overall for such a high price point this is a pretty crappy release
That intro tho 😂
Beau the type of guy to sabotage the golden spike just because his bored
Alright Bachmann where’s Bachmann Charlie
And Hiro 😢
As seen from the Big World, Big Adventures movie.
didn't Beau laugh at another dead engine?
So funny with OO, an odd decision to have him match ordinary HO models and not the scale of the rest of his theme.
