Hia. Nice to see someone else using ZTC. Enjoyed the video 👍

@@S27DRJ It's a lovely controller to use, the only issue is when you want to use the horn it's a little bit of a faf. Function, 3 then Enter, and the same again to stop it. 👍Thankyou, glad you enjoyed it. 👍

Made a comment but YT lost it. So I'll make it quick 2nd time around. The Bachmann vibration noise is caused by an unsecured motor which a bit of cardboard would solve. Be careful not to damage the wiring if you open it up.

[@alanrobertson9790]

The vibration noise on the two Bachmanns is most likely due to an unsecured motor. I had same characteristics on a 37 (metal sector like yours) and a 20 and a bit of cardboard between the motor and the side of the housing cures it 100%. The downside is I damaged the wiring in getting access so had to resolder on the 37 and get a new circuit board on the 20. This problem was on the latest and expensive Bachmann models so makes you wonder why they are making basic faults like this. Its better if you send them back, because how else is the manufacturer going to learn? I set a bad example.

Thank you for the info. Wow the same problem with your class 20. When I rang Rails Of Sheffield up they did say that from what I was saying to them over the phone it sounded like an motor issue. But to be fair they never said that that was the official problem in an email so I just got an new one sent out....and as of the moment its all fine and dandy. Everything sorted out easy and swiftly, so no complaints from me. It is was it is. In a newer video (not out yet as of time of writing) the loco (37 043) was going to get replaced by the shop and beleive it or not the replacement one was worse than the one I had already, it was as bad as the Sir Murray Morrison loco. So there are definitely some ' rogue ones' out there. But every issue I've had with anyone of them has been sorted out professionally. I understand where your coming from about opening the locos up, I opened up the Sir Murray Morrison loco and saw the fine wires and plugs.......and thought.....er no....lol...that's what the warranty is for so it's all good. 👍.

@@mrmartinb1615 Glad you got it sorted. If the motor is unsecured it works fine but sounds horrible.

[@mrmartinb1615]

@@alanrobertson9790 ya so am I, ya it does sound a little nasty, I just never know if I was damaging the rest of it or not, I wouldn't be laughing if I had £270 plus dead loco on me hands...lol. 🤣.

Only 2 biscuits is a crime minimum 6 , Bachmann 37s are brilliant and Bachmann 47s are also good, My 66 Accurascale just arrived with 3 buffers pointing skywards very difficult to sort.

[@mrmartinb1615]

It gets a lot when I do about three or four intros to videos in a few hours. 🤣🤣👍👍. I'm most definitely liking the Bachmann 47's, just haven't got round to parting with money (lol) and cant wait for them to bring out some new liveries. Ya the 37's are amazing ill have to agree. 👍 Oh no, that's not good, My brother had issues with his but it all got sorted out quickly and efficiently. Hope you get yours sort ASAP.

Just picked up Bachmann 37 deluxe for £234

[@mrmartinb1615]

Wow what a great price, congratulations, what livery?

[@danielsellers8707]

For me it would be Vitrains as not made in China.

[@mrmartinb1615]

👍👍..where the Vitrains made?
