Battle of the Shunters - Round 1

[@GreyTheFloydianSergal]

just a note, you were running the class 14 with the train behind it. The long bonnet is the front of the loco. Saying that though, it doesn't make that much difference. Fun vid

[@Calebtrain]

Haha, been waiting for this for a while now! After seeing this, I'm pleased to own Bachmann's 03. :)

[@r.a.monigold9789]

It is soooo nice that you're doing this. It is entertaining. Informational. Fun. And you are a very "natural" presenter. Thanks for sharing...

[@Allen-ng4rn]

It’s been too long since I’ve watched IC82 videos, and it’s so so soooo nice to be back.

[@ConnorLowreyTransport]

The 3F jinty sounded like it was about to blow up which I found weird because no other train did that.

[@ZipZeroYT]

IC82: no way the sentinel pulls 5 megaboxes Sentinel: hold my diesel oil

[@bjoe385]

As someone who’s in the market for a new shunter this is rather informative.

[@surgeusb]

Jinty sounded like it was screaming in pain

[@eshar0627]

lol

[@tracycarifa5740]

I know right

[@araryazuriwidyatama8886]

Yup

[@cjbcjbcjbcjbcjb6083]

My family and I are gonna hollow out a space in the attic for my layout!

[@abbeymaddox3114]

really ? thats what may be happening for me as the attic was a while ago cleaned out but im not starting to collect yet as the loft(Attic) needs checking for any things left over & i wish you the best of luck

[@cjbcjbcjbcjbcjb6083]

+Abbey Maddox thanks!

[@SuperZiggyCraft]

Great! I wish I had space for a layout, but my family uses every square inch of my house.

[@mirageinthedesert5448]

LtWölfe that’s nice My layout is currently in boxes because there is no space in my house

[@r.a.monigold9789]

...but - you have KZbin and a good imagination. My first train models were made of cereal boxes and tape and poster paint (yuk). But they were MINE. I'm 72 and I still play with those trains (now just in my head as I wore them out/lost them years ago). I too am a Yank and live on the same side of "the pond" (Atlantic Ocean) as you. Now go get some stiff paper and a bit of tape and tear your way to a new train.

[@tracynation239]

You get the most traction when the wheels are spinning 25 to 35 percent. Modern locomotives are equipped to take advantage of this for maximum traction. ♡ T.E.N.

[@Arrivatrainswalesfan]

A fantastic idea! Really enjoyed. looking forward to round 2!!!

[@famof4fun329]

nice I loved your video and how you tell the names of the locomotives. I like Percy. I saw Thomas and thought you could have a race between Thomas and Percy with two mega boxes

[@lukesjunction2508]

Yesssss

[@rickycoyne6997]

I love how he talks to them like real people it's sooo cute

[@n1ght_243]

Yeah XD

[@ZipZeroYT]

I do that with my models lol

[@alfiemarlow2367]

The Pannier tank should be the winner because it took it the furthest and it took it back

[@edwardfan7487]

Wonderful video! The way to figure out the strongest shunter is to get more mega-boxes!

[@castlejunction1707]

Great vid and great fun to watch.... thanks Will

[@PeakeyFortySix]

Great round 1 mate! Think the Pannier is the winner there ;) Cheers, Jack

[@humbolt136]

Great start to the competition! I'll leave it to the mathematicians to decide fairly which shunter is to win that round but the Sentinel was amazing for its size! I would love to see how the pug does...

So very true

[@PenguinCOD]

InterCity82, You Rock

[@abbeymaddox3114]

the loco up 1st is so adorable she gave a big bump

[@montagueduck4845]

Yes! I've been waiting for round one! Can't wait for round two! I thought that Jinty would fall right apart or something, and in my opinion I think the pannier won this round!

[@dantheman3162]

The slight movement in the first few locos was the coupling tentioning

[@jacobporrett]

I think the Pannier tank won. Looking forward to part 2. Fantastic video well done.

[@Willowfs4472]

I've finally watched it Will looking forward to part two now I enjoyed watching..

[@nigelcarter2789]

Keep them coming. Brilliant

[@michaelswinton2642]

When are the vids coming out on the main layout? When is the premium 395 javlen being filmed? And when is the rest of the options on the website coming?

[@williamhurley2427]

InterCity82, there is some affect by the application of speed too soon, but that's wheel slip, does not affect whether or not the loco will pull the trucks.

[@gwr1787]

I think the old class 11 did really well to say that you think it is older than you! I personally think that the age of a model should be a factor in this contest, as older models may struggle more than new ones. That said, I remember buying a small lima American-outline BR 0-4-0 tank and it pulled 8 mk1s! Not a bad loco for a fiver!

[@4665paul]

Great video, winner should be decided over all the tests together. Your screaming Jinty, try cleaning the commutator as if it is the same disk type commutator as is in my Hornby B17 "Liverpool" (tender drive) which started to scream last weekend, a jewellers screwdriver small to clean between the sections and a medium one to clean the face of the sections and that cured it completely.

[@dodge2340]

29:33 Fred is here 😂 (Fred the youtuber)

[@dragonfusilier9173]

The class o6's piston went so fast it started spazzing out

[@thehole4472]

Another fantastic video!

[@jacobwilson5468]

Another brilliant Video InterCity82 . in the brand new IC82 Battle of the Shunters Series. I really enjoyed IC82 Battle of the Shunters Round 1: Haulage Capacity Video to your new IC82 Battle of the Shunters Series. I think the Winner should be all the Locomotives that pulled all 5 Meagboxes and completed 100% of Proportion of Loop you set up, otherwise the Winner will be picked about what the Locomotive is and the Performance which I think will be unfair. I am now looking forward to watching IC82 Battle of the Shunters - Round 2: Slow Speed Performance, IC82 Battle of the Shunters - Round 3: Heritage Train Test and all the other Videos you Upload in your other Series.

[@blackpoolpleasurebeach-fan5781]

When's your next part of the railway village will!!!!

[@SammyBFilms]

I was looking forward to seeing what the pug could do. Still a great start though. How many rounds are there?

[@SteamintheNorthWest]

Great to see episode 1 up finally, is this meant to be a comedy program as I pissed myself when the Jinty was tested

[@james2964]

29:20 sounds like she on her way out

[@Northerner_Transport_Hub]

That's the sound a loco makes if you don't lubricate it, which means it hasn't been cared for

[@Lennon6412]

Great video, keep up the good work!

[@henrylangdon6717]

Great vid!! Really enjoyable. I think that the class 0F should win because it pulled a surprising amount. :-D

[@2595220]

fantastic video again will, please keep more coming! i personally thought the serco 08 shunter did the smoothest and best haul.

[@2595220]

but i would rather have a nice loco that can still pull it all, instead of having something that looks like it was made by an 8 year old.

[@streamleazefishhouse]

mike walling 8 year old everytime :P

[@lornabennett7127]

Me too

[@The31stAli]

When Will said Stop for the Collectors Club loco, my video stopped and started to buffer. Does this mean Will has the power?

[@WestRail642fan]

tip for using both nem and the big Hornby coupling, i removed to hook arm that is used to couple and then that allows the nem couple to slide in with no problem, its what i did for Blue Diamond

[@yellowstonethepony7769]

The Class 14 at the end. InterCity82 looks full of wonder to it.

[@TBAAvenger]

The amount if weight a locomotive can pull depends on how heavy the locomotive is. The more heavy a locomotive is allows it to have more traction

[@mmbw4]

I think the pannier should be crowned the winner. It just strolled away like it qasn't pulling anything.

[@unlockingsnow73]

mmbw4 What about the Hornby class 08 premium? That pulled away beautifully as well

[@shanealvis3134]

I agree about the pannier

[@lukesjunction2508]

I know it's on strength but I've got to admit the pannier with it sounds absolutely amazing I think it wins second place after Percy

[@ThomasWoodenEpisodes]

Very cool! Just out of curiosity, have you got any French types of locomotives?

[@raymondleggs5508]

Its funny how side-rod deisel switchers never took off in the US, except for mining, logging, specific industrial and branch-line operations

[@Licci.PrProj]

Omg the jinty sounded like it was in so much pain lmao

[@LotsOfPiecesOfJay]

You've got to have Percy in a shunting challenge. No matter what

[@thefallingpi341]

Silver Eevee I wonder why he didn't include Thomas.

[@lasuzzoeagle1]

cb00raiser // Rage_TNT Thomas isn't considered a shunter.

[@thefallingpi341]

Well I would consider Thomas as a hunter as E2s were used for shunting and short distances.

[@CardboardSliver]

The E2 was a Shunter. They tried normal rail service, but it didn't have a big enough bunker and water tank.

[@edboskey1107]

hi there my vote goes for the Bachmann 08 as it pulled well and looked good in it's weathered livery

[@callammetcalfe8891]

Hi will are u going to any shows soon as it would be great to meet u

[@PalomboDylan]

Another great, very fun, and interesting video Will. Can't wait for round two! :)) By the way, I've looked all over the internet and I can't seem to find that red peco wheel cleaner you use. Any suggestions on where I can find one for purchase. Please let me know. Kind regards, Dylan.

[@edwardrobinson964]

You make the best videos

[@mickjames73]

Seeing as most were able to haul the five megaboxes maybe we should try for 6, 7 or even 8. However it should be a power to weight ratio to decide winner

[@FockeWolf100]

Hey Will, Bachmann just unveiled their new line-up of OO9, (narrow gauge) locos and wagons. Will you bother with these at all? They run on N scale track.

[@cooltrain266]

Push the wagons couplings close together so there's slack between the couplings and slowly start the engine. My class D could haul a kilogram of train with a little bit of wheel-slip on a dirty track if I leave slack between the couplings. It allows it to slowly take the weight of the wagons one by one so it won't stop cause of the weight of its train.

[@Games20210]

The great western painnier the best one I love that model

[@tomlawton7087]

Do you think that DCC makes a difference? Can you test each loco with a decoder and with a blanking plate, to see if the effect is consistent? Regards, Tom

[@chasehill697]

now you should do race of the 4-4-0's or a strength test of the afore mentioned

[@brookline1254]

Hi will I think u should have all of thee shutters that pass and keep going so it eliminate a couple loco every round till the last round the are a small number left

[@smokingspitfire1197]

You should put any that fail out of the running and keep running mire intensive tests until one is an outright winner

[@lewiscarty5517]

Can other people do their own Battle Of The Shunters with different shunting locomotives and do the tests in different order? Just wondering if they can?

[@retrainrun]

A lot of cool rolling stock! RT

[@misaelherrera3704]

hey will great vid well I think if u had to choose either the class 03 or class 08 premium Hornby or the Bachmann class 08 and the class 14

[@uktrains7505]

Make a vid where some DMU's stop at the station and make it a bit longer so it can hold a few more trains as its good

[@jackprocter8694]

Probably the serco class 08 because they cost a good price of about 55 to about 85 pounds at the very most. That is a good price seeing as she is a realistic performer, has good weight and of course the haulage capibility is excellent for its size.

[@pendolino-fz6ns]

InterCity82 awsome video well done do u have a review of a class 55

[@JD1611]

Am I the only person who was really excited for this?

[@chriscallow8430]

Nice, in round 2 how will you keep it fair, with some models being DCC rather than DC? Slow speed performance of DCC models is much better....

[@jaysoncruz5575]

I’m still proud that the class D pulled 3 trucks.😀😀👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@VoicelessHail]

Great video will keep it up long time no video aha ;)

[@TestECull]

I'd like to see a revisit to this test running US prototype shunters. NW2s, SW1200/1500s, GP7s, USRA 0-6-0, 0-8-0, that sort of thing. I'm genuinely curious if they'll pull better or worse. Logic would dictate that the diesels at least would laugh at that rake, seeing as they're all B-B wheel arrangements and as such will be heavier with 8 wheels driving. But one never knows.

[@railsceneireland8770]

Another great video will

[@tonystark8351]

Bachmann Class 08 FTW!! You could almost hear the Sentinal Fan Club cheering as it pulled away with the full rake...

[@stephenbinkley]

U are iron man and Audi man

[@tonystark8351]

Audi man?

[@johnblum8963]

Have you done a tug of war video with trains before, if not you should try it?

[@RichardHunslet1963]

When is part 2 going to be up, is percy out of the contest and can thomas take the Jintys place?

[@XboxGames-uu4cl]

Very well done! Will you be uploading more since it's summers?

[@jalilledoux8999]

when that Sentinel pulled all five... I had a freak out. Sentinel is one of my favorite shunters.

[@UkGeoFF09]

While the Hornby 0-4-0's managed to haul the rake they all had masses of wheel spin. On balance I'd say the Bachmann 03 came out on top given its relative size and weight with the Sentinel a close second.

[@tinkiwinks]

I'm probably sure you didn't know but Percy is a GWR Avonside Saddle Tank

[@tomkid770]

Can you please do a video on laying down your track with bluetak

[@class170rocks9]

Really good video!

[@louiedailyvideos2220]

We in the UK have lots more diesels the only Steams are either in museums or heritage railways such as minehead

[@robertsowden1454]

Well technically not, considering I've seen many railtour a recently along the mainline

[@bavarianbanshee]

Someone send Will a second set of megaboxes and we can have a rematch to see what some of these locos are really capable of!

[@IRONHORSE11M]

Toby is In the background like " I can pull all 5 of them".

[@dodge2340]

Hey ic82 before the wagons fell over you said you would try the strong engine with 4 Did you forget?

[@This_Cat_Is_A_Real_Gamer_Cat]

The jinty sound like someone screaming xD

[@Shunteration]

Hmmm... It seems that Jinty and Pug wanted to make their friend Percy look good in this test - and they've did it!

[@Jonny_____]

I think that the pannier tank won as it pulled the rake with style (the sound)

[@tomskinovak-gaming8154]

I love this please can you do something else like this plz

[@misaelherrera3704]

Hey will what about the jinty by hornby that came with the horby cheap class 08

[@TheGuitarChannle]

What you should do is have it like a knockout over all the rounds and find the best that way

[@greatwestern9933]

Being a western man I am biased in saying that I think the 57xx should win as I liked the way it did it, but the 03 is probably the cheapest one which could possibly have hauled slightly more than you tested with plus it did the run smoothly.

[@KeithTucker45]

Not easy to pick a winner!!!! In hindsight, maybe you could have increased the number of waggons to see which loco pulled the most. You probably would have had to use one of the main tracks, though, rather than the siding as some of those locos looked as if they could haul a lot of wagons!!!

[@thegamingbulldog5227]

When is part two coming out

[@TidmouthYard]

I'd have to say that the 0F (Collector's Club Model) won that due to it being cheap, lightweight and having the smallest wheel configuration you can get but the Sentinal had I believe a shorter wheelbase but it was much better made and expensive.

[@TidmouthYard]

LateNeverEarlyR True, but it doesn't look half bad. Although I do believe these were real at some point on the Caledonian Railway.

[@Splop10]

LateNeverEarlyR You are incorrect my good sir! = wikipedia.org/wiki/Caledonian_Railway_264_Class As for the winner, I'm going to nominate the old man (class 11) purely because he shows them young`uns that he's still got he dancing shoes.

[@theBOBSTER-dh5xw]

Lol

[@AnthonyRailwayBVideos]

My reaction to the class 03's performance was :O

[@matthewcain2192]

really like UK wish I can go there :D

[@JohnNunezMusic]

so did you ever end up servicing the pug?
