    Judging by how smooth it is and how long it takes to start and stop, and also by how the decoder itself looks in general, it looks like you may have an ESU Loksound decoder in there. ESU makes all around top notch decoders. And the reason for the slight delay in the start and stopping of the engine is because they often go for realism with their decoders. So it looks like you’ve gotten very lucky sir. ESU Loksound decoders are just amazing

    • @harrytilbury2453

      Definitely not a Loksound as it's missing the function contacts on the end, It's a Zimo chip of some kind for sure

    So glad you got a good one finally. You’ve had some real dogs to review and this was superb! It definitely seems like the actual new models by Bachman are improving. A few of those late models you reviewed at the end of last year showed a big jump in quality too. I’m a steam guy, but this is one very fine and beautiful model. I sure hope they don’t ask for it back!

      Ben Tullett True but things won’t completely change overnight and as you said their latest steam engines do seem to be much better.
      The detail/quality on their new models looks like it justifies the high price tag (in my opinion) rather than it being expensive just because it’s a Bachmann model. 😊

    Sam: In 1958 there were many branch lines open with weight constrictions. The Type 2s could get almost anywhere and if the task involved pulling ballast and mineral loads into remote locations you just double head them. This class was responsible for delivering a lot of aggregate to the various roadbuilding projects in the early 1960’s.

    Could we maybe see a video on retro-fitting a little motor into one of the diesels you have (whether it's the Hornby Class 56, this one, etc.) I'd be interested to see the process, and also the end result in terms of noise / realism.

    That packaging reminds me how I received a Roco "Ludmilla" diesel in the mail from a dealer here in Switzerland.. because the model box wasn't prevented from sliding back and forth in the packaging, the more than 575g (!) H0 model was busted when I got it.. had it replaced without issue though. That 6 axle drive monster can pull anything else backwards down the track in a tug of war.

    Hi Sam. Check the instruction sheet and see if one of those configuration jumpers/switches controls analog running. It might also be a CV (configuration variable) in the decoder has to be set a particular way to enable analog operation. I’d say 95+% of decoders sold these days DO operate on analog (DC) mode. Definitely worth checking out. 😊

  • @TomPrickVixen
    @TomPrickVixen 3 роки тому +1

    Maybe you got the commercial package from Bachmann!
    Similar surprise only happened with me with 2nd hand locos, when during the serviceing I found decoders inside of 2 locos, despite both were sold as non DCC fitted. One is an old Gützold diesel (DR class 119) from the mid 90's; one of the earliest 8 pins locos, and it does had (still has) a huge old decoder in it, was running fine on DC so did not noticed anything till the 1st big maintenance. The other is a Bachmann 5 MT tank loco, that was sold as a non runner. Turned out the decoder had a damaged wire, so it was an easy fix, and a cheap DCC fitted loco!

    @stuartaaron613 3 роки тому

    Sam, I find that while I like crew they do cause two problems. One is that if you only have a crew in one cab then when the locomotive runs in the other direction then the crew are in the wrong cab, but if you have crew in both cabs, then you have extra personnel that you don't need. The other problem is if you run multiple diesels (as in the USA) then you again have extra crew going for a ride.

    Another great review! I was actually wondering: where you say "It's Bachmann so the finish is good" but also "It's Bachmann so it's expensive"- raises a point, why don't you do a video comparing different manufacturers against one another (based on your opinion/reviews) - I'm getting into the hobby (and so the reviews are a huge help) but something like this would be really great, comparing the different companies and maybe also their different ranges saying the pros and cons of each? When I'm looking at similar models choosing which one to go for, knowing what to expect from different manufacturers would be very helpful for me. Please re-direct me if you've already produced such a video.... I wouldn't be surprised!

I add the odd sound to some of my locos using Zimo, which costs £99 plus the price of a speaker, so have it fully fitted for he same price, to me is good value. Loksound is generally more expensive than Zimo, so actually the sound option is good value. Rails at the moment are doing the sound one for about £90 more.

      Not all /1s were built with headcodes. The /0 ended at D5049 with D5050 to D5113 being a /1 without headcodes, which makes this model of 5094 very much a 24/1. You can see the smaller water tank typical of a /1 on this model as its not as tall as the fuel tank, the shortened in length tanks was a further weight saving modification carried out later on, as well as their complete removal...but while they still had full green ends the only smaller tanks were on the /1. On a similar note, the /0 locos loaned to the Southern and found to be too heavy had the tanks and heating boilers removed rather than modified.

    I'd check with derails, bodyside loco number is the same so they could have a DCC Sound loco that isn't in a DDC sound labelled box. Image what you would be saying if it was the other way round.

    When d-rails sells stuff cheaper and cares more about the sold item than the Bachmann.
    Well that took pleasant turn, good on Sam for the surprise chipping and sound gifts.
    Indeed i did enjoy it, as stated this is pretty much singular occurrence.

    Just for a bit of fun and perspective, have a quick look on RMweb (I know you don't like to get involved there, but its worth it just to see the visual comparison) at the Bachmann class 24/0 thread on page 10 and 11. There are side by side photos of this model (but the class 24/0 version) and a SLW headcodeless class 24/1 as per your review which show just how toy-like the Bachmann model still really is compared with what is probably the very best RTR British model currently on the market. Don't get me wrong, I think the new Bachmann class 24/0, /1 and headcode /1 is a very good model indeed and worth the asking price, but when its sat next to the best you can see just how much more improvement Bachmann could make...especially as the rrp of both models are only £5ish apart.

    Hi Sam, just bought two locos today, one is a hornby triang Mallard in br green and the other it the old hornby triang duck model. It had its face, top of its chimney removed and painted black. I think I may restore it in it's late br condition, with chimney restored and a Smokebox door, and a paddington station shed plate (this is where duck lived before coming to the island of sodor) and number 5741 (ducks old/rws number)

    re: Internal detail - maybe the internals are shared with another model that has side windows?

  • @MisterHampshire
    @MisterHampshire 3 роки тому

    I'm wondering if the hidden internal detail was part of a plan to be seen through etched grilles, but that Bachmann thought that costs were getting out of hand to produce and fit them? It could be that they have plans to included etched grilles at a later date, when the detail of course is already there and saving on tooling costs.
    Sulzer, by the way, I am pretty sure is pronounced with a quick 'tz' sound, 'Sultzer' rather than 'Sulzzer'

    Great video review Sam. Great surprise re DCC and Sound. Be very interested in that is actually a Bachman sound chip or the more expensive loksound…… Re dcc control have you have your select upgraded? Hornby select can now access far larger range of function options and not just the first 8😢. Don’t know if cv can be changed to offer both dcc and dc control with sound chip, hopefully can so don’t have to get another version to do your original review. Lol Great review of a fantastic model.😎

    • @Simon-Davis
      @Simon-Davis 3 роки тому

      The drive hold demonstrated is a Loksound V5 feature, but the decoder looks like a Zimo. Either way its a £115-120 decoder. Bachmann have used both makes in the past.

  • @matthewneleigh567
    @matthewneleigh567 3 роки тому

    Does the shop have a DCC fitting service? I suppose it's possible you were sent someone else's custom-fitted model by mistake. I can't ID Bachmann's factory decoders on sight, though, so I can't tell from what's on screen.
    Admittedly, I've built passenger coaches with detail you can't see with the roof on, so I do appreciate the engine detail inside this model. :)

  • @JonSwinfield

    I’ve just seen Bachmanns latest releases on UA-cam yesterday the class 47
    And today Bachmanns whole range
    I was astounded by the level of detail and especially the power and performance etc
    5 pole motor, all wheel drive, sound and light in DCC and DC
    Twin flywheels
    All wheel pickup.........
    The list goes on and on
    Check out Bachmanns two announcements on UA-cam this week
    You get to to see the motor and flywheels etc
    It did seem to suggest that DCC, was included to power all the very many different models
    It was only today I found out these models will start at £240 which isn’t quite as bad as I was beginning to fear
    I will go back to watching the rest of the class 24 review now as it seems like finally Bachmann have listened to people and given them decent models
    If this is so how will Hornby respond?
    Btw it has two different kinds of speakers in it which is what I suspect the class 24 has that gives a much more realistic sound

  • @Simon-Davis
    @Simon-Davis 3 роки тому +1

    The chassis block detail is there because the forthcoming Bachmann class 25/2 has side windows and the class 24 and 25 family uses the same chassis. With that in mind it makes perfect sense for it to be present on this model even if you can't see it, and gives us a good clear message as to the quality of mechanism to expect in the Rats. Also that sound decoder, its either a Zimo or Loksound V5, either of which is a £115+ decoder if bought separately, so for £100 extra pre-fitted to the model its a bit of a bargain.

    • @SamsTrains
      @SamsTrains  3 роки тому

      Very interesting Simon - though I thought those windows were absolutely tiny... crazy overkill to have detailed the whole length of the interior just for that, but no complaints of course! If true, then yes the Rat mech will be amazing too!
      Thanks for watching, Sam :)

    Sam. Buy a Fleischmann/Roco Z21, then you'll get full functionality and ease of use.
    You could use the Hornby DCC controllers as a doorstop after adding lots of weight to them.
    Are you sure DC wasn't turned off in CV29?

    • @jeremyhyman5056
      @jeremyhyman5056 3 роки тому +1

      Z21 rocks. I use it to control trains, pointwork and signals. Fourth or fifth DCC I've had and easily the best.

    Bachmann's original Class 24 / 25 looked plenty good enough to me.
    Then along came Sutton Locomotive Works and Heljan with their examples.
    Now Bachmann have retooled.
    Is it really so difficult to get a model of a square box right first time?
    I'll be sticking with my original Bachmann versions.

    One problem: the coupler on the end of the loco furthest from the fan (on top) seems to be a bit droopy. I don’t know if they make a coupler height gauge for NEM-style couplers or not, but I’d be willing to bet that one wouldn’t pass the test. The other one seems to be just fine. Maybe it’s just the camera angle.

    12.44 The white 'wires or pipes' on the bogies are air lines to the sandboxes. Pretty much all BR diesels had these picked out in white when new, except when builders got funky and went for aluminium-painted bogies. Needless to say, the nice clean crisp white finish didn't last long in service, in most photos they have disappeared under the track dirt and brake dust.
