    great video.... however, i notice when you talked about the boiler you referenced its design as that of LMS lines. actally based on the swindon number 2 boiler with shortened barrrel. does say on box in the history too. anyway great video and sorry for the nit pick correction

    The Bachmann class 3MT and 4MT are my favorite locos out of my entire collection. Great all rounders.

      Sadly ended up scraping my 4MT the rear truck on her kept derailing so i tried too modify it to take an old hornby style pony truck but that just made things worse

    Hi Jenny. I rarely buy a loco these days without checking out your expert reviews. You and SamsTrains are my "go to" reviewers. It's so very helpful to be able watch and listen to balanced, informed critical and entertaining assessments of these now very expensive models, prior to spending a hefty chunk of my hard earned cash.
    Many thanks,
    Stephen

    Another great review. The SC under the shedplate stands for Self Cleaning smokebox. The BR Standard 3MT 2-6-2T was based on the Stanier Class 3 2-6-2 T but built with a much better boiler and front end steaming ability.

    Hello Jennyfer, the details of this Bachmann 3MT are very good!

      The shed plate is missing. The 5c is actually SC indicating the smoke box is self cleaning

    I also like the larger Tank Locos. I am trying to restore a V1/3 with an LNER livery top. I have located a company that makes replacement Valve Gear in the UK at a very good price. They are currently on the slow boat to Bangkok. I have some early crest British Railway Locos and like Hendy Ford said, "You can have one in any colour as long as it is black" Martin.

      You do realize second-hand models are a thing and plenty of model shops do sales.

      If you don’t waste your money on cigarettes and booze or having children then it’s as asset as well as an enjoyable hobby! Add to that that the collection has been built up over a number of years, it doesn’t work out too bad. Also some of these models were purchased when prices weren’t as expensive as they are today! Great collection Jenny!👍👍👍👍👌👏👏👏👏

      Second rule of railway modelling is never add up how much you have spent.

      I second the "second rule"... it can be really frightening after 30 years or so?
