Improving Bachmann Ryan | Brenden's Model Box HO/OO

[@BrendenReis10]

HAI. The reason why I didn't mod the steam pipes is because during the filming of this video (June), the Bachmann parts store hadn't put Ryan's parts up yet. I will be doing this eventually. 👀 Okie bye bye, ENJOY. 💙

[@trainstorm1225]

Ryan is such a fun model to customize, it’s amazing how such little details can go such a long way! Really love the work you put into him, man! 💜

[@Calebtrain]

Another BANGER Bren10 upload! All those little details sure do go a long way-a definite improvement! Really fab editing and documentation too.

[@drevianedwardsproductions9244]

The Bachmann Ryan looks pretty amazing, and it's nice for giving him some hook and loop coupleings, nice looking buffers and every other detail of him, he looks wonderful.

[@BrendenReis10]

Thank you 💙

[@Damon_Drawings]

Yay new model box

[@TankEngine97]

Bachmann Ryan as a whole is probably one of the best models that Bachmann has done. But the mods you've given him, make him look even better. For lamp irons I use track pins cut down to size just be careful when doing that. Side note: What happened to your custom Ryan? Has that been repurposed for Redrum? Just curious.

[@BrendenReis10]

He's one of the bests for sure. Some quirks hold him back, though it's not bad! Hes actually just been untouched. I'm probably going to just turn it into a normal N2 tbh, and redrum is a second one I bought by accident one year 😅

[@plaina3806]

The counterweights made the model look 10 times better.

[@BrendenReis10]

Omg yeah

[@Hacksworth_Sidings]

1:11 Why don’t they do what they did for their Underground Ernie models? Still a plastic prison with windows to see four of the six sides of the model, but more akin to proper model train boxes, with a little diorama behind the engine

[@jonjonscoolthings9296]

hey which loksound dcc decoder did you use for ryan and is the decoder good

[@ZeldaTheSwordsman]

The reason for that style of blister packaging (with the knit edges) is to show off the product while making it harder to shoplift the contents; a lot of electronics like thumb drives and headphones are or were packaged in the same way. The N scale and narrow gauge stuff doesn't get that treatment because while vulnerable it's really only stocked in hobby and model shops, and the G range doesn't get that treatment because it's too big (that and both ranges came along later). But the OO range also got stocked in big box retailers like Mall Wart (dunno if it does nowadays, with how overpriced it is) and so was put in that kind of packaging to make it harder for people to steal the stuff off the cards (And it's on cards for the purpose of being hung on pegs). They should at least start putting a film or something between the dimples and the engines. A lot of the detailing improvements stem from using the CGI models as CAD files, together with improvements in computerized mold-cutting. It _is_ disappointing that his cab is only semi-open. The blocking could have at least come down lower, based on the disassembled view. At least it's not like Thomas, Percy, Duck, and Oliver where the damn chip is attached to the cab roof so the cab gets a solid black wall. The handrails being plastic probably does have something to do with toy safety standards on one side of the pond or another - that and cost-saving. Aren't Oliver's and Ryan's wheels larger in diameter than Thomas'? That stinger was unnecessarily loud, ow.

[@TracksideManiac]

To be honest, Bachmann did Ryan a bit dirty with the closed cab and wheels in my opinion. I think the improvements you made to the model do it a bit of justice!

[@BrendenReis10]

They really did sadly, but I don't think it takes away from the overall model you know? Thank you! It's not the end of the mods but definitely helps make the guy shine ✨️

[@ZeldaTheSwordsman]

Yeah, they probably could have moved that block lower down closer to the wires. But at least unlike Thomas and Percy, the windows are open and the circuit board isn't mounted to the cab roof.

I really want them to retool the Thomas or make a higher quality version for more money idk they can just improve their Thomas range a LOT but they most likely won’t. Although this, at least they are affordable.

[@BrendenReis10]

I want that, too. I'd love to see the OO engines retooled. I would take a retool over a big world character any day.

[@ZeldaTheSwordsman]

Affordable? Not anymore. Especially not the engines. $119 for just a basic Thomas by himself is _not_ "affordable". The engines are only "affordable" compared to how overpriced a lot of more serious models are these days and even then it's questionable. Rant aside, I _would_ like to see them re-do older engines. Especially the first-and-worst Thomas, Percy, and James. Including finding a better placement for that accursed circuit board.

[@mrgeebers]

Was that Lady Madonna at the beginning?

[@BrendenReis10]

It sure was!

[@numptypootis8012]

Ryan is a really good model, but ine thing i really dont like is them stupidly LONG couplings Bachmann gave him, they were meant to be elongated versions of the old Mainline/Bachmann couplings for Toby but now theyre just sticking them on every new release for no reason especially when they don't need them. The old couplings are much better as they keep your locos and wahons all nice and close together in a prototypical length.

[@BrendenReis10]

That's anything thing I forgot to talk about! You're right. They shouldn't be using them anymore. Just give us NEM couplings???

Tbh, the bachmann engines sold over here in the UK, they cost way less than they are actually worth in the US. Say that Thomas is sold for 119 dollars, over here it's 79 pounds. Which is twenty dolars less. I don't know why. It must have cost a lot to ship them over from the US.

[@islesofforeignrails7917]

I can kind of see how the packaging design has been rather dated in terms of their other ranges containing firmer secured boxes, that the 00 line still doesn't changed up, leaves the models getting scratched (like with SamTrains' Ryan) With the next stock of engines such as Beau (who's just a retool of their Western locos) Rebecca, and Stanley (who is yet to be manufactered in 2024) i hope certain viewers don't receive them damaged in international shipment. btw, Bachmann really did not have to use Oliver's wheels for Ryan at all.

[@BrendenReis10]

so dated.. it needs to be demolished as their way of packing the OO models. I love this range but they have to stop putting them in these boxes aaaa...

[@ZeldaTheSwordsman]

1. I don't know that you can call the blister packaging "dated" considering that the use of boxes came first and is more normal in the model train world. Although I guess the use of packaging designed to be hung from retailer pegs could be considered dated since Idk if bigbox stores like Mall Wart still carry the range now that it's so overpriced. 2. I don't think you can really describe the boxes from the other ranges as "firmer secured". First, the insulation trays are held in place fairly well in the blisters, the trays themselves hold the models as well as the trays from other ranges, and the dimples prevent the model from slopping around in the insulation tray much if at all (at least in my experience); if anything causes scratching it's the lack of a film between the dimples and the body (and at least the dimples limit where rubbing can occur). Second, the blisters themselves are more firmly secured than a cardboard box ever could be - that's what those tough melt-knitted edges you have to cut open with scissors are _for_ (the same packaging is also used for electronics). It is a bit annoying for storage, though. I've resorted to keeping the trays and then making my own boxes. 3. As far as using Oliver's wheels for Ryan... I think they kinda did, because doesn't Ryan have bigger wheels than Thomas?

[@islesofforeignrails7917]

@@ZeldaTheSwordsman+ this is my major problem. blister packs often get crushed in post, and they often come loose with the 00 scale engine inside, if they're not sealed on properly. I know that cardboard boxes aren't very firm, but they are appropriate to store engines without any open plastic being knocked around. Just me expressing the faults of the blister packaging in recent times.
