As a recently awakened lover of N-gauge this was a joy to watch! I hate that I am thinking about N-scale more now... But watching the ones you are getting is a great time 😄
That is so awesome! I saw one at a train show a few days ago and then I found your video! I love the face too good job hope to see more of the little guy!
It’s so cool how Bachmann it’s starting to make a lot of N scale models since Bachmann already made an N scale Scruffy and an N scale Toad, they should make an N scale Oliver so that means We can all make a remake of the episode called Toad Stands By.
Ah, finally, a bigger N-scale layout. I don't recall we ever saw a bigger layout like this, it's cool that we do! I'm curious if you'll pull out some of your older N-scale stuff if you still have it.
I actually got into the n-scale Thomas range by accident. I ordered an HO Bachman Thomas and got sent an N scale one instead… but I honestly loved it so much I decided to get the full train set, as well as an extra set of tracks as well as an extra set of Thomas’s coaches. This little engine is fantastic!
You're right, Thomas' scaling to Annie and Clarabel is different. That's because Thomas' CGI model (N scale range) is shorter than A&C, while his model series counterpart (HO range) was taller.
OMG THEY’RE SO ADORABLE PFFTDBDVSVHS I WANT THEM SO BAD I wish they sold model trains in Korea 😭 Also Annie and Clarabel are MASSIVE bro tbh I think it’d be better to get custom printed ones idk lol 🤷♂️
Man that sucks SO much, is it more expensive or harder in general to import them into Korea?? And man you may be right- which sucks for me because painting and decaling this small is for SURE gonna hurt if I do 🥲😅
Trust me bro. Getting models in this country is harder and more expensive than US people getting TOMY/Plarail stuff, counting actual rare ones. I’ve only seen Bachmann Thomas once in my life, and that was at a Thomas event.
For S.C Ruffey, they definitely should've given the ho scale version of him full-on paint job with some orange on the chassis instead of just leaving it plain grey at first place 😕
I might have to get one of their n scale starter sets ngl, I have an old school Tomix one, but I fried that controller instantly because I didn't realize there was such a big difference between Dutch and Japanese power sockets :/ so I haven't been able to run it for longer than 5 seconds these past 2-3 years
falling deep into my thomas brainrot rn. genuinely considering spending over 200 on this set. i don't think I even have the space in my apartment to set this up
Unless you’re *extremely* tight on space then you should be more than fine, N scale stuff is very compact and it’s definitely helped by how Thomas himself is probably just over half the size of a Kato P42 locomotive, and A&C being half the size(ish?) of a typical Amtrak passenger coach. If you dive deeper though, definitely consider investing in Kato Unitrack instead of Bachmann track, Kato track is bulletproof
I do agree that Annie and Clarabel are a bit larger in scale than Thomas is, but I honest love that. It makes sense for them to be big, and I think it makes them feel a lot more grand I also think that with the sad face, the Thomas model almost makes him look like his Great Discovery model, though that may just be me
I’d say the worst thing about this set (along with Thomas being too small even for cgi) is the tumblehome (the side profile of the coaches). Like their 00 scale counterparts, they are flat/parallel sided which just really distracts from everything else. The only way to fix this I’ve found is to cut up the body, file the desired profile into the front and back plates, file down the thickness of the insides of the sides of coaches until nearly paper thin, score the areas to be bent most, and then file everything for best fit. Now that may sound like a lot of work and it is. I’ve spent days just filing and sanding to get a coach 1/2 way done, but the result is great and the coaches are finally starting to look right, instead of looking worse than the take along ones.
why is Annie and clarabel so tall oml you should definitely try to modify them to be shorter or try get 3d printed ones. Anyways nice video and I like the thumbnail.
Ive Seen a N scale Engine, not owning it but a friend had one but I compared it to My HO/OO Gauge and that is pretty small, but Compared to Z and T scale, Mostly T scale, it looks big Compared To T scale but Small to HO/OO
Ever since 2002, Bachmann has gotten better and better, until all of their engines look exactly like they were in the show.
Definitely noticed the side even when you were just looking at the box not just you
Love the new micro layout
Thank you so much homie :)💪
Here’s to hoping Thomas won’t be too alone on it for crazy long haha
I never thought Thomas on this scale will be this adorable
Dude, that face looks amazing! I mean the standart face looks great too, but damn that looks nice 😍
Sending some good vibes from the Unlikely fandom premiere!

They are super adorable! Tempted to get a nscale set then some cars and maybe a few straight tracks to run around a table we have at my house!
OOOOH, ITS THE BOIIIIIIIII

I don't know why but i think this fella would compliment my kato Amtrak train lol.
I haven’t watched the channel in a while, but THE THOMAS IS SO SMALL. Also nice hair 👍
Your layouts always slap! And Thomas in n scale again? Hell yes!
N scale is the best. But ho is my favorite. But both are awesome. Keep being awesome my friend. Trainboy is the best
I used to watch your videos all the time, but then I switched over the aviation but even as an aviation UA-camr, I still find time to love trains❤
Awesome video trainboy
Cant wait to see a Christmas custom with these
I've always loved the small charm that N scale has had, theirs just such a charm to tiny trains
SO RELATABLE
I just bought the HO bachmann Thomas. Now I want to get this one too.😂
I want a set now! Awesome review!

Bro you a extremely temptimg me to start collecting these and getting into model railroading
Dude, This is amazing! Have you ever tried to get into something larger and more obscure? Like the Departing Now line?
The sad face look so good hope more faces become available in the future!
Cool
Can you do the Emily set when it comes out
Dude I love your cat
For S.C Ruffey, they definitely should've given the ho scale version of him full-on paint job with some orange on the chassis instead of just leaving it plain grey at first place 😕
Duuuude I like the hair!
Hey TB! Do you think this sets big enough to fit under a Christmas tree?
Do you have a link to those custom faces for n gauge Thomas? Really nice 👌🏻
You get some tiny little trains, and have a tiny little nice time.

Swap Thomas with Percy and you can recreate Sodor Fallout :P
Too bad there's no more room on your current layout. I think having a narrow gauge loop of track running along side Rico would look cool
As someone that has just gotten into n scale. Im always looking for more ez track if your looking to sell it
Great vid. How did you remove his face please?
Dude, please show us how you changed the face. I don’t won’t to go in blind to a £100 loco when the master has already done it.

Use the bachmann track around a Christmas tree
OH NO THEY MADE CLARABEL A COMPOSITE COACH INSTEAD OF A BRAKE AND MADE THEM THE SIZE OF EXPRESS COACHES!!!!!!!!! also i like ttte mario music so nice

The West has finally got their own N Scale Thomas line rather than importing the Tomix models from Japan.
“Hey what size is the n scale thomas?”
“Easy-to-swallow pill size”
You've a better stash than me lol
You would be more content with the Tomix n scale Thomas set. Way better dementions
Is N-scale Thomas less expensive than OO/HO scale Thomas, or more expensive?
nice
What about poor O’l Theodore Tugboat?
I clicked faster than the speed of light
Is N Scale cheaper than OO/HO scale?, I live in Mexico and I want a 4-4-0 american to customise, but DAMN train modeling is expencive
11:13 out of context this sounds bad XD
Wish the motor didn't make horrible noises on DCC track. I thought mine was busted when I first got it
Cinnamon Roll Thomas
Lil black white cat
Rosie cameo’s are an essential 😤💪
Cutey bois
Funny how Bachmann makes better Thomases in any scale but HO
Interesting lol
The models are cool but bachmann track is so ass in N Scale
