The ‘metal’ painting of whistles etc is absolutely fantastic!
My son is a wargammer and high quality metal paints have been around for years
It’s confounded me that model railway manufacturers haven’t used such products when seeking a convincing finish
So well done Bachman
It really is - if only all models had that finish - impressive!!!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Indeed, I would recommend any model railroader to walk into a Warhammer store and pick up some gold and brass paints to touch up bells and whistles with.
I think if you plan to do more 009 stuff. you should add a new narrow gauge line to one of your scenic sections.
I own a 5 inch live steam quarry hunslet called Dolbadarn, she is over 40 now but still works a charm. Great review!
I am building one but of the Port Class like LILLIAN on the Launceston Steam Railway. They are quite a lump.
David and Lily Reading.
@steamsearcher Awesome! I actually had the chance to drive on Lillian last year after telling the owner I had a 5 inch Hunslet :)
The Kato Small Englands are typically sold at below 80 pounds in Japan and China. Kato products tend to be more expensive overseas.
even more fun is that you can generally buy N scale startsets for about a 100 pounds in Japan
In Japan yes. In China other than maybe HK no. China actually has heavy import duties and usually only China made things are not expensive there.
@@naguoning i imported a Kato E5 shinkansen startset with extra track and a set of carriages from japan into europe, still came out cheaper than the cheapest startset with just an oval and a small steam engine by an European manufacturer, their prices are insane
@@tripel7470 Missing my point. I don't dispute that Kato are cheaper in Japan (and Taiwan). My point is they are NOT cheap in China (other than HK). In fact quite rare there too. I was making the point because it was suggested they are cheap in Japan and China. In Japan yes, in China no.
Definitely cheaper in Japan... Kato, Tomix etc. make model railroading an affordable hobby for Japanese modellers.
I think you need to do a T-shirt with "lovely satin finish" on it!
hahaha now there's an idea!!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Or a bit more risqué - 'I like sprung buffers'.
Haha! I like it. How about "I hold my breath for the crawl test"?
Alice was painted originally painted in Indian Red.
As all locos at Bala, this runs loco runs extremely well in real life. The pipe and fitting on the side is a steam pipe, possibly the blower pipe; I had a drive of her in 2017 but can't remember. I know on Maid Marian, there is a fitting on the brass bit for connecting an airline for blowing up the fire when lighting up!
The real Alice Class are all slightly different. You'll have to get down there and have a look. I have been a Society member since 1991 and a working volunteer for 10 years in the 1990s, firing, driving etc. You need to visit!!!
Thanks a lot for sharing - appreciate the extra info!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Yes, I was a member at Bala for some time in the late 90s/early 00s, and enjoyed firing (and very occasionally driving) Holy War and Maid Marian. During the 1999 Gala w/e, I fired the lovely Una (ex Pen-yr-Orsedd, I think), and may well treat myself to the upcoming Bachmann 7mm version...
@@ianjeffery6744 we must have overlapped. I started within a week of Bob SHELL. Plenty of good days, and good nights at Barbies and at the Eagles Pub!!!
@@jbhtrams We may well have done! I was usually with the Kent contingent (Andy C and Alan L). Good days, indeed...
PECO's OO9 rolling stock is actually pretty decent, with the coaches having proper seating (some of them even have removeable roofs to allow one to fit passengers in them). The Bachmann Thomas & Friends OO9 coaches, on the other hand, are hollow with no seats. They both aren't cheap and are pretty much entirely plastic (which seems to be the norm for this scale).
Amusingly, the slow speed performance with the slightly jerky movement almost perfectly matches a video of Britomart trying to start a heavy train at the Ffestiniog Railway. I doubt that is deliberate though. What a gorgeous model though and bodes well for the NG7 range...
Great to see you looking at OO9! Thanks for the review Sam 😀
Thanks for reviewing this model Sam, it's amazing. I'd be interested to hear what you think of the Mainline Hunslet, it has some nice features too. I can recommend the Bachmann Bogie Covered Goods Wagons as well.
I cannot stop reading Hunslet as Hulett. I'm close enough to Ohio that I've been able to hear more about the Hulett ore unloaders, some massive old machines of the Great Lakes that I sadly report have two surviving examples that are headed for the scrapyard. A beautiful set of machines I figure this comment section would be happy to learn about, and maybe someone out there could save them.
Anyways best wishes to ya Sam. Always fun watching your reviews, especially of more obscure engines like this.
I am super impressed by the quality displayed here. Its really quite a marvel for whats been achieved especially considering the size. I primarily work with brass locomotives which are known for their exceptional detail, what i think modern models have over 60s and 70s brass is when it comes to the printed or etched detail. I have a 1996 made Pennsylvania Railroad L1s from Railworks LTD mafe by Yulim in Korea, and it comes with a builders plate that is made 2mm by 1mm and is actually etched and painted and very clearly (with a magnifying glass) says: Juniata Shops; L1s; 1915. Its exceptional.
I absolutely love these little locos, both in 1:1 scale and OO9.
Bachmann have really done a great job with these models, and I'm looking forward to seeing the NG7 versions. As I understand it, these models were a bit of a passion project from one of the senior staff at Bachmann, and I think that shows.
Hopefully Bachmann will release further version of these Hunslets, especially of the other Dinorwic Locos.
The narrow gauge was always my favourite part of both the Thomas show when i was younger, and the railway series books when I got older.
Always wanted to do a OOn9 layout but i dont really have room for a second layout without getting creative.
Thanks for looking at a 009 loco once again. And at a Bachmann one too! They may be pricey but Bachmann has made some quality 009 locos.
Hope you review more 009 from Bachmann. Their Double-Fairlies are incredible.
Yes, Sam, can’t wait for the next review love 009
This one especially is one I have been looking out for but is almost impossible to find under $300 aud
Thanks as always Sam!
Great review Sam, as always! Looks amazing, and I think this Bachmann Hunslet is a far far better-detailed loco than the Kato/Peco one! I really am looking forward to the next 009 review!
I agree! This is the main reason why I prefer the Bachmann hunslet over the kato/peco hunslet!
Another fantastic review from you Sam 😃👍🏿
Thanks Sam for more Great 009 Reviews!
Great review! I have been considering picking one of these up and trying my hand at installing DCC/Sound with a keep alive. Basically it all goes in the open cab, and crew figures hide everything from the side.
Im reminded of the bachmann narrow gauge engines from the thomas line
Great vid sam keep it up
Finally a review on the Quarry hunslet Sam, lol
Cheers Jasper & Willow
There is a photo of me driving Alice, which was very enjoyable. Unfortunately I missed out on the model but did manage to get 2 of the other 009 Hunslets. I guess I'll have to get NG7 Alice!
This is amazing!! I have some N Gauge track going spare, and have been thinking of getting into OO9, and after seeing THIS I think I will!! From what I hear the Mainline Hunslets and Double Fairlie are also fantastic! In terms of rolling stock I’d say just get some more stuff from Bachmann, from what I’ve seen and heard the Kato/Peco stuff isn’t really as good…
Re: price; I think one thing you need to remember is that it is this scale is extremely niche.
Man I've been waiting years for this
Worth looking at the Mainline Hunslet and the Double Fairlie from Bachmann. I’ve got the sound fitted double Fairlie, which I run on analogue as you can with these. The slow crawl is amazing!
10:48 - That's pipework to the blower, usually hidden under boiler cladding or plumbed through the boiler on mainline/standard gauge locos, the whistle is on the steam turret, next to the safety valves at 10:06. Great review, and pleased to see you looking at 009, even if this example is from the quarry on the wrong side of the hill for my tastes!😉 Just joking, yes I'm a Penrhyn person foremost, but I love visiting Dinorwig.
Bug boxes! They are fantastic little coaches. I may have to get some OO9 stuff soon to stick on my layout. Thx for the review :)
Very cute and small. I love it. Keep being awesome my friend and ur trains are always the best. U never disappoint. I might get one of these to at some point when I get a n scale train set
Excited to watch
*ANOTHER OO9 SCALE REVIEW!!!!!!!*
This is Epic. I wonder when Sam’sTrains will make an Official OO9 Gauge Layout to go with his OO layout? It doesn’t have to be super huge, and it could be Removable. Also, I recommend maybe getting OO9 scale RollingStock.
One day yes - I'd absolutely love that! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
@@SamsTrains, You are Definitely Welcome.
sam you should try T-gauge
I’ve been waiting for this video for years!!!! How did you get one because I was informed that Bachmann are no longer producing these.
Nice that your doing some 009 videos!
Awesome video Sam's trains 😊
Glad you liked it, the tooling variations are immense, Bachmann at their best. And yes I've seen sound and light fitted loco's it all has to go in the cab, so you need a carefully placed crew. You just need a trip to Modelu to get yourself and Chloe scanned to crew your loco
Hi Sam. Thanks for the review. Would be nice if a driver figure was also included for the open cab. Guess that the driver was also the fireman on such a small loco. Maybe a nice job in the spring/summer but must of been hell standing on an open footplate halfway up a mountain in the middle the winter in the good old Welsh rain with the wind howling around your ears and seemingly no place to even sit down. Look forward to you reviewing the upcoming Bachmann NG7 scale version when it is released.
I spent easter visiting all the NG railways in wales, I saw Alice, MAid Marian and Holy war all out and running. Also Corris 7 and Douglas.
Bachmann’s Baldwin 10-12-D class would make a nice addition to your collection. It is an amazing little model with astonishing detail! But, the only problem I noticed is that it tends to struggle on gradients if you’re not going at the right speed. That could just be my model with the problem
Super impressive little model which looks will be getting. Thanks for the great review.
Thanks a lot Michael - that sounds great!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
You should try doing a review on the double fairlie Sam, it's really a great model.
Cheers Jasper & Willow
Funny Story Sam, I actually have one of these in the blue, and it's such a beautiful model. At the moment I don't have any track to run it on (Oh well), but hopefully soon I'll be able to get some.
Cheers Jasper & Willow
I love that this engine is cabless because it looks more what narrow gauge engines looked long ago
grt. I was just wondering whether to buy one
Hi Sam. Great video. I’ve been watching u for the past 7 years now. I just wanted to ask a question. What hornby or Bachmann model would you recommend for a southern railway?
I love the 009 range, unfortunately I don't have a layout it fits with, although it comes from an era I'm a fan off, and the Welsh slate scene, gives you so much opportunity you build around.
And maybe I one day may decide on a shelf layout, my fingers are itching toward that.
And the brilliance of 009, rather than TT (sorry TT fans this is my opinion) you can combine it with 00 if you wish, and it fits for people with very tight places.
I only wish for one day we see a small broad gauge range, than the 1/76 scale would finely be complete.
Nice review as ever ,enjoyed it very much, and it really is tempting me to do a bit of 009 in the future…
Awesome video today Sam the locomotive looks really cute
Oh i have a few even smaller ones! brought a few H0f - 006? - (still the same 1/87 scale but on Z gauge - 6.5mm - tracks) stuff, when i visited the Nümberg fair in the late 2010's. Its more of just a gimmick, but looks good on a layout.
If you interested in more narrow gauge stuff I highly recommend Liliput's H0e models, those are good value for money with high details, Roco's H0e line is OK-ish, but not as good and more expensive, and the other brands are even more costly and u don't get that more for your money (yes I'm looking at u Bemo).
Oh sweet, you've got the same 2 OO-9 Locos I have. I really enjoy both of them. As stated by others there is a larger price gap in many other countries, including here in Australia.
Another great review.
I have a question: Are you considering reviewing the Heljan 10800 diesel locomotive? I know it’s very expensive but I have seen the models reduced in price at Rails of Sheffield. It’s up to you of course.
Bachmann had managed to put a DCC socket in this engine, wow ! It's a subminiature type, like the one I have for the Graham Farish class 03 I have from them.
For the rest, wow too ! Bachmann has everything right there, and the quality matches the price.
On this engine, the only thing not screwed is the customer ! For OO9 buffs, it's a must have ! You makes me want to buy one, you know ?
By the way, if you are interested by a 3D printing project, the Kato chassis of the small England locomotive is available for GBP 58 at Rails of Sheffield.
These trains in real life were used on reasonably steep gradients in the quarries were they not so a test on a slight gradient could of been included maybe. Very impressive model.
Have you ever travelled on the actual Ffestiniog line, Sam? Amazing little steam engines and a great day out. 👍
Hi Sam enjoyed the video, I’ve got one of the hunslets an mine was the same took a while to bed in. Have you seen the kato chassis with the 3D printed body’s on you can paint yourself?
watching this makes me more excited for the upcoming bachmann talyllyn model
One of these days, I'm curious to see your reactions to the T&F narrow gauge characters because w/ Sir Handel and Duncan being the next lot to be released, it'll be interesting to see your thoughts on how they modeled Skarloey, Rheneas, Peter Sam, and Rusty being closely based on their Talyllyn Railway counterparts...
Alice is so small, I think it’s cute. Nice review, friend!
Looks superb!
So cool review sam
A decent looking engine overall, as I have said before wouldn’t mind getting a bit of 009 into my collection at some point, have to say though bachmann do a great job on their 009 products from the other reviews of 009 items they have made.
Lovely little engine - just like the real things, which are delightful beasties (I've had the privilege of firing and occasionally driving some of them). Hopefully, the forthcoming 7mm scale Hunslets from Bachmann will be just as good, or even better. I wish Bachmann would try their hand at some 3 foot gauge prototypes, such as the Isle of Man Railway's Beyer Peacock 240Ts...that really would be something to look forward to!
I absolutely adore this little model, and i'd love to get my hands on one but I can't find one for sale anywhere!
This shows that when Bachmann sets their minds to it, they can make a quality locomotive with out breaking the consumer’s pocketbook. Nice review. I hope, when Bachmann does another release of them, the 4-4-0 American we’ll see some improvements. Bachmann has announced a new n scale “Roger’s” 4-6-0 release for late December, let’s see how they do with this one.
Bala Lake have number of these running, if you go August Bank holiday weekend you can see all of them in action with a few guest engines in their Gala.
Hi Sam sometimes I Think you could try some of the DCC locos with the decoders fitted to see the difference in the running
Great video Sam. I must say that that is a loco that is clearly crying out to have a crew fitted.
Modelu3d do crew suitable for this loco.
Never been interested in OO9 but after seeing this babe I am looking for a corner to place a little shunting layout.
They're fantastic models and once they've got some miles under their belt I can confirm that the performance really is good. Look perfect with a small rake of slate wagons or V skip wagons. Another great 009 loco I think you will definitely enjoy it the Baldwin 10-12-D another fantastic model with excellent detail and a great mechanism. The double Fairlie isn't to bad but not worth £200 and the large hunslets are good but have issues regarding the mechanism
Looking forward to More 009 reviews from you.
Yeah it definitely improved as it ran - fantastic little design! I'll definitely look into more of this OO9 stuff by Bachmann!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
I would be interested in you trying a sound fitted mainline hunslet or double fairlie.
Might also be nice to compare some Bachmann and Peco rolling stock.
Wonder if they well be better if you use DCC? Narrow gauge is not really my cup of tea, but it is good to see you doing reviews of these products. In the past I would have only seen kit built narrow gauge at shows, so RTR is a great idea, and I do hope it does well for Bachmann. I am impressed with the level of detail on this model, the metal name plates and builder's plates are a nice extra to have been included, ... look forward to seeing some narrow gauge slate wagons etc to go with this loco...
If you like narrow gauge, try the Lionheart Lynton and Barnstaple 0-16.5 scale Manning Wardle 2-6-2T. They're awesome!
These are great runners some of my favourite locos, I found the pickups can do with being slightly pressed out more so more pressure on the wheels leps with running alot, and keeping the wheels as clean as possible, also at least 1hr rin in one direction and 1hr in another
They are incredible - and absolutely, that's a good idea if it's struggling!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Great review Sam but is it me or do the cab sides rise up going forward >? stunning little loco' though
3D print challenge - N scale to 009 conversion coupler to allow for rolling stock.
Very impressive little loco that one.
Note: Many of Kato's models from across the pond are really worth trying, I'd love to see you review some of those
Definitely reminds a lot of us Thomas and Railway Series fans of Skarloey, but with his cab removed.
for 009 rolling stock, I suggest you take a look at Peco's 4-wheel coaches and slate wagons. Bachmann also makes some similar slate wagons so it would be nice to compare the two.
You should check out the Bachmann Thomas and Friends HO narrow gauge line. This way, you can get some rolling stock
A fantastic review Sam 😊. I can't tell you how much I love your videos. I just encountered a foul UA-camr called trainskitsect. He criticised you so much, and said some arrogant comments. I got so sad, UA-cam banned my reply 😢😢. All I want to say is don't listen to him. Anyway, I have a new series idea if you want me to email you 😊. Thank you so much for your effort and enthusiasm.
P.s. could you post more oo gauge videos than other scales as they are most peoples favourites I think (you could do a poll)
This guy had pick me up on a community post by Adi Pullen last week. He seems to me very traditionalist, gate-keeping and manufacturers-friendly youtuber. Does not surprise me if he does not like Sam...
Could you give me the link to his channel? Not to grab the pitchforks and go after him or anything, just curious as to what he has to say.
@@LefTab he said it on Hornbys most recent post in the comments. Find the comment that says "mine works fine"...
@@Class92models. Found him and my god, what a twat! I glossed over his channel while looking for him because I saw the subscriber count and thought "Gee this must be a respected individual, that can't possibly be him!", I can't believe it
@@OlivierGabin He made a series of now deleted videos baselessly personally attacking Sam a while ago. A very nasty individual who cannot make condescending comments without mentioning Sam and will turn around to tell you "Um actually I don't care about X thing" after he'd written walls of text in multiple comments responding to an opinion 🙄 Not worth interacting with him
Out of curiosity, do you an on trying one of the Bachmann NG7 quarry hunslets when they come out as well?
Britomart, a Quarry Hunslet in blue with an enclosed cab, was my first 009 loco. She performed just like this when new, and only really got worse until I gave her a service about a month ago.
I much prefer my Small England, Princess, to both my Bachmann locos (Britomart and the GVT Baldwin). It runs better, smoother, quieter, and can haul more.
Try buying one anywhere now! They aren't available in any livery at any shops online so worth holding on to. Some sell for crazy prices online.
Hi Sam, I suggest to look at some of the Bachmann Thomas Narrow Gauge Locos. They’re really good. I have a review coming out on my channel on them. They (at least Rheneas) are soooo good!! And you could do some cool Trains with them because Bachmann of course sells some wagons/coaches for the Skarloey Railway too!
Thanks for the video!
Yes I do hope to - they do look good for sure!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Hey Sam! Just a suggestion what if you is to review Skarloey or Rheneas in OO9? Thanks, The Lost Engine
Hi Sam. The pipe that goes into the smokebox is to the blower. The whistle which goes peep peep is very prominent on top of the firebox not far from the driver. You can't learn what nobody tells you can you.
Ahh duly noted, thanks for this!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Hi Sam, if it's not too much of a bother, please could you review the bachmann skarloey?
You should take a look at the bachmann mainline hunslets. Similar but also different. Especially if you get a tender version of Linda or Blanche.
I never thought I'd ever say this about a steam loco, but it really is CUTE!
haha it really is!! :D
Analogue servo control to compensate for friction and inertial in the forward path would be the solution to smooth low speed running.
Would love to Get the O09 and O16.5 version
What a sweet little Loco with a lot going for it!!! 😊🚂🚂🚂
For a 009 piece of rolling stock, I suggest you check out Bachman’s covered bogey vans… I was pleasantly impressed with mine
Looking foward to the Narrow gauge diesel
the thomas 009 range slate wagons are pretty good from what ive seen
Hope to see the Skarloey engines on your layout
Will you review the N scale Thomas range sometime soon?
Please don't mind me asking, but what is the name of the song you used in the intro? I've been searching for it for the longest time but I can't seem to find it
Be interested to see how Bachmann's earlier narrow gauge HO9/HOe Thomas The Tank Engine series compares, eg Talyllyn/Skarloey.
Now that you've branched out into OO9, any plans for a narrow gauge line on the layout?
