It was definitely good for its time, but Bachmann really needs to do a 2.0, it’s been over 20 years with almost no changes💀
Agreed!
One improvement they could make is all of them, not just the UK ones, being DCC Ready!
@@bladeobrian2144definitely, especially for the price
If they do make a new one it’s probably going to have a CGI Styled face
@@tre-engines I’d honestly be fine with that if it was at least accurate to CGI.
It would look better than this abomination of a face.
@@tre-enginesand what's the old face styled like? Toy like?
This is the little guy who started it all for many of us. These models will always have a special place in my heart! 💙
Im so happy trainboy posted again❤️ , and i say i love Bachmann very much!
Can’t say mine is a 2002, but I can’t wait to customize the one I bought recently!
My bachmann Henry is a 2005 and my Oliver is 2016 but for bachmann Henry's running board has a bit of paint chipping lol
I'm really late but the King has Posted y'all, GET UP🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Great review! Though the tooling needs a LONG overdue redo (it is 21 years old, after all), it still looks a lot like Thomas.
Also, the more I look at that layout, the more me thinks you’ll make a Down The Mine remake/adaptation.
Thank you so much homie!! :)
And shooot.. I won’t say too much JUST yet but you’re definitely on the right track 👀 (Moreso than Thomas ends up haha!)
@@ItsTrainBoy Lucky guess, I suppose!
Babe wake up train boy just posted
Hornby has the realism while bachmann is very good and practical
Bachmann is the closest we have to the tv props, but with horrible faces, I'm also the 4th comment at the time im writing this, that's cool
“Horrible faces” Peter Sam, Ryan and Daisy want a word with you
@@EternityKingdomsHeadHoncho I meant the Majority of them, bachmann really does not know how to make faces, i mean, they do, but for the most time, they're just that
@@EternityKingdomsHeadHonchoit’s really only the old faces which are bad the newer ones are getting better.
fire video trainboy, take a break if you want because your rolling a lot more videos now
This was a good review I really like the new Thomas
Whenever i see this model, i always remember the Robot Chicken Thomas parody lol
One of the BEST parodies to this day 🤌😭
I honestly prefer Bachmann over Hornby
For aesthetic and tv accurate models, bachmann. For reliable and real life version is hornby.
Edward and Emily were did dirty
Yeah, they couldn't have picked a better model for Edward when the t9 looks close than the basis he is given and dint even bother making a stirling single for the hornby emily
Bachmann.
it’s hard to pick cuz Hornby models are good,but Emily and Edward were done horrible.
Back when I was younger, (and a bit of a dumbass), I had a Bachmann Thomas set I got for Christmas years ago. Less than a year after getting it, it broke. I don’t remember why it broke, maybe it burnt out or me treating it like a normal wooden Thomas pushed it past its limits. It collected dust for a while but then a few years after, I decided to make it look “better”. Spoiler alert, it sucked. I pretty much gutted the train of all its mechanics and ruined it even more to make it free wheel. So not only was it broken, the eye mechanism was ripped out, the face was pretty battered, and the paint ruined on both the running board and body. Recently I decided to try it again and this video definitely helped me fix him by getting new faces and eyes plus spray paint and paint pens. Now it looks even better thanks to your advice TrainBoy. Thank you very much for helping me save my VERY expensive Bachmann Thomas a tiny bit.
Oh god, the memories of me having one, that little bugger is the main reason on how i found your channel dude, the wires broke and i asked for help
If you still need help with the wires I can KIIIINDA help?? 😅 I found myself having to give Lady a new motor and had to teach myself how to solder, I found a few good videos of you need my dude!!
I have that thomas! And annie also
Ah yes another Trainboy Video to keep my insanity under control. Bachmann are Tv accurate some of the Hornby models are Railway Series Accurate.
The man is back with a bang!
I honestly like the stock standard Bachmann Thomas it just has a charm to it
Awesome video trainboy
People rag on Bachmann’s face sculpts, but honestly, after the first three (Thomas, Percy, James)- and excluding Henry, Gordon, Bill and Ben- they’re usually really good.
Edward, Toby, Emily, Spencer, Salty, Mavis, and especially the CGI-era models (Diesel, Paxton, Daisy, Ryan, etc) look very quite accurate.
And despite my qualms with the Henry and Gordon faces, they’re closer to being prop-accurate than Percy’s face.
*Shudders*
I always thought the Bachmann face always looked off. Mainly the eyes in size. The model itself is still good, but if I was to ever get one, I'd also get a Hornby Thomas so I can switch the faces.
Is it in the same diameter?
Banger video! I am very glad you showed where lubrication goes on these models, over the years I have repaired many of these Thomas engines (plus many of the other characters) and usually its due to no maintenance whatsoever or motor burnout! But quite honestly other then the face, the model is not bad apperance wise.
Thank you so much my homie!! :)
I feel so silly for never mentioning it before- I went through so many Bachmann engines before learning it was the easiest thing in the world to keep them going, you’re a step ahead my dude 💪😅
I actually have a 2002 Thomas I didn’t relies that I had one till I checked while watching
Back the classics review missed this type of content
Happy to see more model RR videos ❤
Ya know I used to have one of these almost 15 years ago or so now. Hoping I find mine eventually as I remember it being one of my favorites!
awesome video, helpful too, what lubricant would you recommend for models?
LaBelle is a good brand , you can buy them in a 3 back which Includes 2 bottles of oil, and a tube of grease.
I love this model so much.
How the fuck am I this early I’m upside down in Australia
I don't know why but I like the little gap on Thomas s front cab side thing. It's just aesthetically pleasing to me
I used to have one of these as a little kid, it busted, so I got the version with sound. It busted too, and now I’m looking at n scale Thomas
Wow, this was kinda a throwback lol. Great review
Thank you so much homie, I hope you enjoyed :)💪
@@ItsTrainBoyI did! I managed to find a classic Lionel Thomas for like 40 bucks. It's kind of absurd that the new bachmanns cost almost twice that. Have a good one
I do have a Bachmann Thomas, but it's the new variant with the altered eyebrows and thicker lamp irons.
There is just something charming about Bachmann’s earlier models from the 2000s that I couldn’t seem to lay my finger on?
The newer stock Thomas models also have the holes for a snowplow attachment on the chassis
The classic 2002 Bachmann Thomas is such a nice Bachmann model, I really like all the details it has
Classic ttte thomas, with a face only a mother could love
I have one of these that I remember buying for 70 bucks(au) back around 2005-07, and now the exact same almost identical model is now 195 DOLLARS
Anyways, that Thomas model literally and metaphorically burnt me out on model trains for a solid 10 years, then I fixed him up again and even did some mods(mostly fixing how awful he is to pull apart, adding heavy metal, disconnecting the eyes and aesthetically improving the footplate to ~series 1 style)
Oh yeah your paint complaint, the original bodies were moulded into the main colour, but later ones(I got a replacement shell because lining) was blue paint on black plastic
I love Thomas, look at him, he knows
Guarantee most Bachmann Thomas’ have seen hell and back
10:08 Thomas goes down the mine again
I like the Hornby Thomas, Henry and Gordon models.
Yao is trainboy actualy making a new layout
this is the version i have. only one i *still* have to get is edward to have the og steam team of thomas-percy
His fire box was on fi-(Comment was unfinished due to writer being banned because tried to say an unfunny joke)
Wait lol 😂 what
Can you review Paxton next?
I saw the thumbnail and though you were making a FilthyFrank reference with Thomas saying -Ay b0ss
I need more sleep-
I like the Bachmann model's proportions better than Hornby's, tho they both have their own sets of issues.
If anything I'd probably harvest the Bachmann chassis for a Resin printed shell
Side note: PCB stands for Printed Circuit Board, ya didn't need all those corrections boss
I thought he was going to show us the eye mech and face replacement lol
What do you use for your intro music?
What’s the name of the song you play in the beginning of every video?
getting this for xmas this year, and even though he's inaccurate in some department, i love him. probally gonna swap the face for a hornby thomas' face, and might colour in the blank spac between the boiler and tank.
I have it
Day 3 of asking train boy to talk about every lay out I didn’t do day 2 because personal stuff happened
I honestly thought it would be a lot larger
Which Andrew gave you this model?
if you are making a custom you could make a Timothy the ghost
i have a talking bachmann thomas but its so hard tvs faces :(
I love it
One thing I will say about these bachmann t&f models. . .
They basically never burn out xD
(Lube ur shiz anyway)
I mean that og Bachman Thomas is like 21 years old but they kind of change the wheel size so I will prefer that Thomas you got
10:08 right before disaster struck
The cheese! The cheese! Pls pin the cheese! The queso council will not stop till cheese is in the spotlight!
-sincerely the queso council
Ah, to be young again
Hi
My Bachmann Thomas (UK version) is currently being repaired. I think he burnt out.
One of my friends died
hot take but the Bachmann Thomas is the most accurate non aftermarket Thomas model
Bachmann, if you’re see this. Please redo your old model and make him look like he’s from The Great Discovery.
2.1kth
WHY DO THEY STILL HAVE THE SAME BODY SHELL AAAAAAAAA
22 hours till this is 24 hours or 1 day olf
That stumpy face brings joy and soy to all, lovely
2321st
I really don't like the faces they gave Thomas, Percy and James. I wish Bachmann updated their faces when the CGI series came out. Other than the face and the lamps the Bachmann Thomas is a good model.
Am I the only person to notice the fat smokebox saddle on the original?
For Thomas models Bachman is better than Hornby
honestly the face sort of ruins it. the body itself is great wish the improved the faces for many of their engines
Hornby: vice
Bachmann: not vice
Lionel: as far from vice as TATMR is from canon
This tooling is old enough to drink 💀
Wait i have a 2002 lmao
He died tho
I had no idea that Bachmann rolled their Thomas out in 2002… that’s more than enough time to fix that awful face and make him DCC-ready, but nooooo…
Memes
listen man you can't show me the regular bachmann thomas and call it classic
..I’m pretty sure that’s exactly what classic means dawg 💀
Jesus Christ I was born in 2002 that Thomas is just as old as me
