Bachmann HO-Scale Overland Limited Electric Model Train Set Unboxing & Review

[@evanhizon8112]

My parents gave me this set a long time ago back in the early to mid 2000s in the old version. I will tell you this. Even though it is the same set as the old one, the engine looks so much better than the old one. The paint on the Niagara looks more cleaner and sharper and the details look more finer than the older version. The rolling stock looks more sharper and finer compared to the old ones. Also, the power supply is the modern one from Bachmann. The power supply that came with my old set had a black life-like style power supply. In conclusion, it is nice to see this set get updated to modern times. My only gripe with this set is that it is not DCC-ready.

[@aaronprewitt344]

I had this set a long time ago, MAN this is probably the absolute best value train set and certainly best starter train set there ever was. 9 car train, powerful good locomotive, and plenty of track to start. If anyone wants to get into the hobby, THIS and the Empire Builder in N scale are THE SETS to get.

[@ZakWolf]

This train set is such a long-runner, and I don't just mean the number of freight cars. Bachmann began making it in the mid-to-late 1980s, and originally it used a figure-8 track plan (with 90-degree crossing), and then when E-Z Track was introduced they switched to a large oval of that. Then the locomotive began to get better in quality (from a pancake motor to a decent 3-pole can motor with all-wheel drive) and the freight cars had body-mount knuckle couplers added.

[@1964catt]

there are three versions of this train set the one from 80's with the crappy axles and gears that shattered all the time, the version from the 2000's still with the splitting exles then there is the version from 2018 and up with the better exles and improvements, you could put the most recent wheels sets from the modern version into the older version.

[@ZeldaTheSwordsman]

@@1964catt Or you could get 3D-printed replacements for the gears and axle centers. In fact, you would _have_ to do that (assuming the split axles were even broken in the first place) because the modern wheelsets would short the split-chassis versions.

I've seen a few of your reviews on train sets. One thing I really appreciate is that you do a great job of showing us the product in great detail, without any commentary. You let us decide what's good or not good,, or what we like don't like about the product. Kudoos!

[@mancast-bx6hi]

Oh yes. I remember having this train set back in december 2005 and i loved it, especially how the steam locomotive looked. It was the best train set i've ever had. Unfortunately, it got wrecked by someone and it was no longer working and i was really fucking pissed off by that. However, 11 1/2 years later, i had another chance, i bought a new overland limited train set and it went pretty well even though there were some small issues with the steam locomotive. i was just happy that i got another chance with this train set since the one back then was destroyed. Now i get to play with it without any annoying problems in the way.

I love this set, really I do. But why is the steam train a Niagara? The Union Pacific never had any. Unless if Bachman knows something we don’t.

[@railfanjackson4531]

The UP did have 4-8-4s in the form of the FEFs, but to my knowledge Bachmann doesn’t have an FEF tooling in their HO range. So they used the Niagara tooling, and just replaced the tender

[@livefreeordie5534]

I wish, I wish I had my old train set back. Trains, depot, houses, trees, cars, a bridge, people, all sorts of HO scale town models, even working street lights. All by the age of 13. But then carefully packed it away. Then my older brother sneaked into my bedroom closest and stole it all for his 1st born. I was only 14. The youngest of 6. I put up a stink of course. He wound up giving me $200 for all of it. Today ? Maybe 3 or $4000. I know, forgive and forget. Well it seems difficult to do either. Enough said.

[@SouRwy4501Productions]

If I ever get one of those things, the first thing I’d do would be to paint the engine into a New York Central paint scheme. Two of my closest friends both have the Niagaras from this set, and I’ve volunteered to help one of them repaint theirs into a proper NYC paint scheme.

I've noticed on every review at least 2 of the drivers wobble or are out of round, which in my experience causes things to go out of Guage or vibrate loose. Better Q.C. tooling seems to be an ongoing dilemma with Bachmann. The real high end stuff is better but I have a few of these and all have some minor fault here and there. As far as what you pay they perform more than adequately, and with minor care and adjustments should last a lifetime. Do not over oil , as this causes all your

Been wanting to get this set but the one thing stopping me is the locomotive for this set bachmann decided to be lazy and redressed their New York Central Niagra locomotive instead of putting in a union pacific design (like the fef northern) and having a union pacific Niagara wouldnt look right to me I hope that change the engine or even just tinker with the original Niagara design to make the model look more union pacific looking plus I dont think the U.P greyhound paint scheme fits it to well it would have been better off and more realistic if it was U.Ps black freight hauler scheme the rest of the set is fine.
