Wow! This announcement has made my day, very well done Bachmann for being the first premium manufacturer to bring the class 08 up to date with all the features modellers want like lighting and a stay alive system, I’m so happy to see the features that have been incorporated on this great model, please have a look at the class 58 and 73 as they are in need of an update. ☯💯💎
Well done on “stay alives” much needed on these smaller locos. Please just fit them to everything though. They revolutionise these models. Great work. Looks very impressive
@@PolishThatHandle346 For sure, the tooling options/variations are a big factor but in every respect these models promise to be either a match for or in many cases an improvement over any other RTR Class 08 previously produced in this scale. I would pay more for these but we will have to wait and see how much that will be.
Absolutely spiffing production, perfect vocals. I'm a big fan of the 08s as I used to work on them. Your original 08 was a game changer so I'm very much looking forward to this and provided the price point is sensible making a review video
A really entertaining and informative launch video. A well specified model that will no doubt be impeccably decorated which I am much looking forward to acquiring .
If it runs as sweetly as my current Bachmann 08 I'll be very happy when my new Bachmann 08 arrives. Yep, quite excited about this. I should have been at DEMU this weekend, shame I'll miss seeing the samples. That intro video was a breath of fresh air too - nice job 👍
For once this has genuinely grabbed my interest, a new Gronk with proper tooling variants, working lights AND a stay alive is excellent! I look forward to seeing the liveries coming out for this, hopefully some modern image ones please!
That is one hell of a specification...a very desirable model and my Southern Region branch may well acquire one. But why can't there be a removable cab roof? Fitting of crews and just looking at the representation of the controls is hampered.
Looks like a nice loco... I'll be making an appointment with my bank manager first thing monday morning to see if i can re-mortgage my house so i can buy one.
wow !well done Bachmann, this is great, will buy one in blue when they come out. hope i don't have to see the bank manager. the 08 is a cute little loco
Forget the model ...put a perfect motor in that works. I have a Britannia from about 1961 that still works perfectly . Even has a smoke unit. 3 Pullman coaches and track. It was given to me when I was 10 or 11 for my birthday.
Hi looks like an interesting project indeed. I noticed you mentioned that you have tooling to represent all variants of the prototype over the years. I wanted to ask does that inculde the preserved railway Thomas and friends face on the front?
Fabulous detail but won’t get much opportunity to appreciate it with a 23’ x 8’ layout so I’ll just have to stick with my 1960’s Hornby Dublo, however the auto coupling would be good on my other exhibition shunting puzzle layout need to save up and go DCC
With all of the unmodeled interesting prototypes out there why do we need another 08? The existing models are already good enough. With that said this does look impressive, but make something new. An 0-8-0 sentinel or a Hunslet 80T for example
Hello Bachmann What a brilliant video, at last you are moving into the 21st Century and adding a little humour and fun to these Announcments and hopefuly much more of it please! (lol) If I didn't know better I would swear that it was Melvyn Bragg doing the voice over, has it ben AI'd I wonder...lol. Many thanks (oh and yes please apply it to N gauge as soon as reasonably possible..lol)
Looks good so far, a couple of minor issues but nothing to over concern me. However I didn't notice an example with external door hinges to the bodyside doors. Is it simply a case that one didn't feature in your video and you do intend to produce this style of door? Remember your nearest competitor for this model does feature early style external hinged doors.
@@EllieMaes-Grandad 100% i get that, the last bachmann shunter i baught 2 years ago for £50 now they seem to be well over £100 my guess is this new one will be well over £200, hopefully they will do a cut down model for those that want a gronk without the stonk :P
Fantastic, thank you. I’ve been needing to add a Gronk to my fleet for a long time but have always hesitated as I wasn’t totally happy with any manufacturer’s model, old or new. This new tooling looks truly remarkable. Now I have to wait and see if you’ll be offering a Thornaby or Gloucester Horton Road shed version to fit my idealised fleet.
Why do you never mention prices in these videos? Or the British Railway Announcements? We know they are going to be stupidly expensive, doesn't mean you can't just admit this in the videos - come on! No doubt this will be a minimum of £300 🙄
Hope they sort out the correct profile for the con-rods and not some comprised thing. Still price point is more for me then a model filled with gimmicks that to nothing but increase production costs and that is pasted on to the end purchaser. Good luck Bachmann. I will stick to O gauge. 🙈
Bachmann, could you guys try to arrange a behind the scenes tour video of the Kader HQ and their factories further north? Rapido Canada did something like that. I'm sure a lot of your customers are interested in seeing where their models are developed and made.
While I like the 08 shunter for being a useful station pilot and whatnot, I don't have room for him in my collection. I know that you are also working with Graham Farish, which provides us with tinier N Gauge track and models. I have the set up of a track controller (plugged in and clipped to two pieces of railway line), N Gauge track and GWR Large Prairie Tank Engine (ebay), four trucks (sent to me by my friend Alfie) and a GWR Toad Van (ebay). The steamy won't get her first run till November, because the Summertime heat causes a short circuit. On top of this, I'm suffering a nervous attack of the butterflies, because I've never operated a tiny N Gauge train before. Can you show me an N Gauge steamy and rolling stock running on your test track, pretty please? I think it would help me feel a bit more at ease.
Sorry, but I'm happy with the Class 08s I already have. I shan't be buying any new ones. All this duplication of diesels is so disappointing when there are plenty of high-profile steam locos begging to be done in RTR - the GWR Saint and the SR U class, for instance.
My god I hope it’s not another class 60, what ever it is I hope it’s really needed like a upgrade class 08 or a class 58 or a much needed 73, a class 43 won’t happen for many years to come so we are stuck with the Hornby 21 pin models which are a downgrade on the 8 pin models in my opinion, the EFE crane was a superb choice so I hope maybe it’s something to do with track maintenance.
yes plase get the T3 as one of my favourite engine in the UK. As just amazing build in 1983 with now working is amazing to see over 140 train working aging. Paint job help to add bit of live to railway are all in BR. Being great loco of Bachmann to do as it could will any SR coaches or LSWR coaches. D40 great to see as well. Would like to see more loco LBSCR I3 or any LBSCR in brown or LSWR in Green l. Plus Z class in SR most or BR.
(Bachmann Please Look at my Comments) All always nice to see updates on a model Bachmann. But Please can look at the SR, LSWR, and LBSCR steam trains please do the T3 in LSWR green 563 or Z class. Going to Swanage railway this year been a missed opportunity not to Announcement it there. (Model looks good please do this class 08 1. Grand Central 2.Class 08 in Cotswold Rail 3.Bachmann 32-111Z Class 08 Shunter 08721 'Starlet' in Express Parcels Blue & Red - 4 .Class 08 08441 in Railway Support Services grey) If want more 37 please have one in Loram Rail Operations UK livery. Thanks but great video.
I spy 🕵️♂️ a Class 37 in Europheonix livery 😍 can we please please please have one for Graham Farish 🙏 The 08 looks stunning 🤩 a stay alive fitted for N Gauge, please, too 😇
Excellent news one I've been asking for. Hopefully, IVOR will be amongst one of the earliest releases. Edit. Bachmann have replied, offering me a better understanding of my comment below. My only issue is. Bachmann as a customer pay less than the public for stay alive, and these can be fitted at the factory, and they are will SOUND and DELUXE model's. Why penny pinch £7.50 and not install a stay alive into a READY model's which is more important than a non used speaker given the short wheel arrangement. Other than that, 10/10
Hi @dinmorejunctionmodelrailway, the 'stay alive' will be fitted to all variants, however on the 'standard' model this will have no effect unless a DCC decoder is fitted and the model is used on DCC. We didn't want to cause confusion and make analogue users think they could benefit from this DCC feature, so chose to omit the symbol for the 'standard' model. I hope that helps, many thanks
@BachmannEuropeOfficial Thanks for your response. An oversight on my understanding of the stay alive and Decoder requirements. I thought the stayed alive would be hardwired to the locomotive, and any decoder fitted would allow the use of additional functionality.
@@dinmorejunctionmodelrailway that's right, the 'stay alive' components are factory-fitted to all models, so when a DCC decoder is fitted to a 'standard' model, DCC users can benefit from this additional, pre-installed feature. However, as the components will have no effect on the 'standard' model out of the box (because no decoder is fitted as-supplied to 'standard' models), we omitted the logo to prevent analogue users thinking this was a feature they would be able to benefit from. Clearly we could have explained this a little better, so I'm sorry for any confusion! Many thanks
As got lots of new DMU and diesel letting from Hornby and Bachmann plus Accurascale. Been nice if next announcement can just being steam train on SR or Pre 1923 SR. There next one but to diesel or etc.
Argee yes do get light and stay alive. But Hornby model could being easy update to have it. 2 model from Hornby Plus 2 now Bachmann. 4 version is to much. I would like to see new tools never got in OO scale ready to Run . Like T3 563 LSWR green at Swanage or steam train pre 1923 SR Or D40 and Etc.
Hornby is still good model. Thinks first being nice if did T3 LSWR 563 in green at Swanage now with Z class. There 30499 SR S15 in LSWR green. There all one said as not mean getting some new updates one. But would love to do the grey one (21C164 in work grey with Hornby R2685 did the black tender)
Honestly? This already exists. Make something new. An Oxted Unit, 120, 4-CIG, or an ex-NBR tank or HR Loch. No doubt this will no be 675 quid when I bought one for less than 60 a decade ago.
Yeah but not with the comprehensive tooling options shown here, meaning far more of the class can be produced. Plus I don’t remember the old model having lights, sound, capacitors, or auto uncoupling?
@@nickg2762 auto couplings and lights? Honestly, gimmicks? Come on now. Auto couplers were tried over in Europe. Flash in the pan doesn't cover it. And who wants to ruin the fun of having to physically uncouple things? That's part of the joy of a shunting layout. It's money for old rope, and more and more are seeing it.
@@millerwatson7109 auto uncoupling is only available on Deluxe variants, and I have never heard lights be described as gimmicky. Every single manufacturer knows lights come as standard nowadays, especially for diesel prototypes. And why gloss over the addition of sound, capacitors and comprehensive tooling?
Well the market is wide open for those you have suggested, so go on, start your own company and tell us when they'll be available and how much they'll be
@@user-bd2ps9eq9t being honest, with 3D printing that's a possibility. Isn't it? See, smart assed "well you make it/preserve" comments are not only trite and dreary these days. They're headed for redundancy. Something certain manufacturers may do well to heed.
Bachmann, it's time you moved into the 21st Century and replaced Richard with someone who can promote, question and enhance your brand. Richard may be a nice guy and good at some things, but sadly, promoting isn't one of them. Bachmann, there are plenty of voice actors and visual actors whose skills are to bring a brand to life; that's why so many are used in commercials on television and radio. If you want to be at the forefront of the market, take a leaf out of Rapido and Accurascale. Move away from the 'amateur hobby' approach and use promotional brand advocates, actors and voice actors to enhance your brand and get it to breath.
Imagine Brian Blessed extolling the virtues of a new 08/9, or Joe Pasquale? For me just a simple description of a model's qualities will do fine. My existing Bachmann 08 with professional weathering is superb, but owning a model of museum standard is most pleasurable.

Mr Chalmondley Warner would not say the horrific "haitch".
The letter is "aitch".
A great announcement bachmann at last a class 08 with working lights. This model looks amazing can't wait to see the real final product.
Probably worth speaking to your bank about remortgaging
This has raised the bar to strataspheric levels.

2 brands of 08 on the market both nice models. I wouldn't have bothered do something else, plenty of ex pre grouping locos screaming out to be made.

Keep asking all Time in Bachmann video but we need to see T3 now at Swanage in LSWR green 563 or Z class. Or any LBSCR train.

Very nice. About time we had an 08 with lights in 00.
Question is, does the tooling allow for the 10s and 13s to be done too? Or the cut down 08/9s?
Good job and good presentation
How about a crew? You are going to model a full interior and not include a crew? Not even on the delux model?
Got to get me a green 09 :)
how about more diesels in pre tops blue then, also class 119 and 103 dmus
I am pleased by this announcement.

Bachmann, it's time you moved into the 21st Century and replaced Richard with someone who can promote, question and enhance your brand. Richard may be a nice guy and good at some things, but sadly, promoting isn't one of them.
Bachmann, there are plenty of voice actors and visual actors whose skills are to bring a brand to life; that's why so many are used in commercials on television and radio. If you want to be at the forefront of the market, take a leaf out of Rapido and Accurascale. Move away from the 'amateur hobby' approach and use promotional brand advocates, actors and voice actors to enhance your brand and get it to breath.
Imagine Brian Blessed extolling the virtues of a new 08/9, or Joe Pasquale? For me just a simple description of a model's qualities will do fine. My existing Bachmann 08 with professional weathering is superb, but owning a model of museum standard is most pleasurable.
