Opening the Class 150 N Gauge Starter Set by Graham Farish

[@Trainmaster909]

Dispite my living in the united states, i just have to get this set! i was suprised by the detail in a RTR set! thank you so much for your review and I am looking forward to see more!

[@lazovsgameingbooth4863]

i am going to get a wooden taible for my n gauge you got me into both hobbys and thanks to you and now i have graham farrish n gauge and oo gauge

[@MagmorterSaysHi]

Got hands on this set second hand for arounf £65 after watching your video. You have now got me into N gauge. Thank you, lol.

[@Olimar73]

It sounds like a model plane! Nice review, I always imagine N gauge to be smaller than it actually is.

[@Oorail]

Those Bachmann controllers are great, they have an updated version where the knob clicks on/off as well which are nice so you don't have to keep unplugging it. I have a couple of them on the oorail layout, work very nicely even with the older tri-ang locos...

[@DanTheCaptain]

WOW! I find it awesome that your going out of the O and HO guage sets and exploring the other part of the world of railmodel world

[@garethmountford-jones8484]

Good to know your from Alsager its a lovely Village/Town. Im from next door Audley. Great review youre videos are getting me back in to Railway modeling.

[@InterCity82]

I have fed the cable thru the gab in the track pieces and it works perfectly!

[@SimonsShed]

Nice set, I'd be tempted to solder the wires to one of the straight tack pieces (i.e. cut the connectors off) as I find them fiddly and often the power cuts off if the connectors move even slightly.

[@JamesMHBurrow]

Woo Preston!! Enjoying the videos, never really been interested in N gauge but might be given the small footprint of the layout

[@lee-lm2ze]

I already run N gauge and I love it there is so much you can do than oo and best thing you can do more in little space

[@davidsweeney111]

Very, very nice video. I'm not sure I am entirely happy about the track cable though, that is really on my mind now. Great project can't wait for the next video !

[@scrapsurvivors6671]

4 years latter the vid is still helpful

[@alexhitchcock7691]

Great video... can't wait for the final layout!

[@britishngauge]

Great starter set - the little round plastic extras are the speaker mountings

[@jacobporrett]

Great review well done. What set are you thinking to get next?

[@ListerDavid]

Hi will I picked this set up today at Modelzone. My first N gauge loco's excited to get it set up and running.

[@MXClover]

I have N Scale trains but I model in Japanese as it's a load cheaper and their variety of trains and scenery is huge. Kato and Tomix motors are perfectly smooth and almost silent, but you haven't heard loud in a model engine until you have used a Greenmax train. They are monstrously loud for how small they are.

[@teacoffee5847]

Yeah Kato motors are sweet. I have a few class 800's and they are fantastic so smooth and very quiet.. I would love to fit a speaker in them though and sound chip

[@irishrailtrains]

That is one awsome starter set.

[@Nscaleguy1]

Can't wait for more unboxings!

[@snakeTDgameLNERfan]

Can't wait to start my own N gauge layout

[@Ryan871]

Really enjoyed this! you can get some nice LMS locos in N. You'll be getting me into it next! The 150 is just amazing!

[@InterCity82]

Yeah why not! Maybe another project is all that's needed!

[@SuttonJunction90]

Cracking review Will, its amazing how they can make N gauge models to at least the same standard as OO. From what ive seen there normally better :)

[@julianhornbrook1083]

great i cant wait for part 2 of this protect u are doing

[@MalzbierManLP]

There are two things: Scale and gauge. Scale is something like 4mm represent a foot in real life for OO (1/76) or 2mm per foot for N (1/148). Then there is the gauge used, which depends on the prototype and the preferences (OO (16.5 mm), EM (18.3) and P4 (18.83) are all the same scale (4mm/Foot) representing standard gauge). The standard N gauge is Nine millimeters, which can be used to model narrow gauge railways in larger scales.

[@InterCity82]

I have considered Kato actually - you'd recommend them then?

[@Anjasomc]

That looks and runs great for such a small model! You would think that if Bachmann could make a model this small without blacking out the windows they could do it for a 00 gauge model. Oh well...

[@MulliGWR]

Very nice! N gauge is so cool!

[@InterCity82]

it fits between the track pieces fine

[@ngaugeuk]

Nice review, glad to see you finally come over to the dark side lol With the connecting wires, what I found is that it's best to run it under one of the track joins where there is no sleeper webbing.

[@kev36630]

Another good one Will, I'm a OO guy but enjoyed that review :) looking forward to the project

[@jaannetts16]

great detail love the little lights reallly looks gd

[@KeithTucker45]

Liked the video. Very tempted to replace my 'old' DMU set with one of these later ones; they look so much better and have directional lighting!!! As an aside, Graham Farish was an independent company based in Poole, Dorset but when Bachmann took them over, the factory was closed and production moved to China - like a lots of production these days!!!!

[@SimulationNetwork]

cool cant wait for more unboxings

[@dgsilverman]

how long ago did you go to s&j? i havn't been for over a year and was wondering if it is still open with the website not being around anymore. great vid as always, just worried you'll get me addicted to n gauge too!

[@InterCity82]

have you contacted a local model shop to see what they say?

[@graemecollin]

Nice. What's the size of the loop/track you get in the box? ie, what size board would you need to use if you wanted to build a small layout using it? Thx.

[@joeygmc528]

645mm by 475mm it says on my starter set box :-)

[@jonnyhuk2]

***** If you watch the video, fairly near the start, you'll see a nice little diagram with measurements on the front of the box!

[@InterCity82]

I have done a few in the past but I focus on British stock mainly.

[@benhunter09]

Hope the project goes well

[@InterCity82]

I thought so! thanks for the comment

[@tomhowland9538]

Great video, I'm thinking of building a N gauge layout ( my first real model railway ) due to how little space it takes up. How would I run a few lines? Would I need another controller? Thanks.

[@InterCity82]

If it's DC then yes. Another controller would be great. If you're going down the DCC route then one controller is enough.

[@WDG13031]

You can get the new Dapol Class 56 to haul your M&Ms around. But what wagons will you use? Though for locos I love the GF Class 47, GF Class 66, GF Class 70, and all of Dapol's models

[@InterCity82]

nooo! that sounds great!

[@InterCity82]

EXACTLY! Thank you!

[@InterCity82]

I will do! Thanks

[@InterCity82]

yeah so far so good!

[@FnafFanProductions]

Are you going to create a n gauge layout in the future and do future videos on it

[@InterCity82]

good idea! Thanks for that!

[@HARRYMALLARD]

I love the idea, about three times smaller than Mr May's though!

[@InterCity82]

oh nice one!!

[@InterCity82]

hmmm not sure - shall have to have a look

[@railwayman2013]

Thats a nice set !!!

[@Trainsbigandsmall]

Nice DMU Will. I remember riding in them too and much better looking than the Pacer!

[@Oorail]

I don't think that Class 150 is going to haul freight though? Any reason you didn't go with the NCB set? Are you going to go with something like a Class 20 or Class 08? :)

[@InterCity82]

maybe a mini-project for the future

[@southtownjunction]

i think those bits of plastic with holes in are meant to be reinforcers or holders for a dcc chip. i have never had that those loose in the spares before becaause they are normally pre fitted.

[@pepperthekobold]

I'm thinking of doing an end to end windowsill layout in N gauge roughly based on a typical Lincolnshire branch. Wrawby Junction and Barnetby station probably.

[@CrisisOnACanoe]

Will, you could do a standard-gauge - narrow-gauge! You could put a OO track with an N-gauge track along-side, with narrow-gauge-style engines running alongside the OO engines! :)

[@keyboy221]

running in quiets the motor a bit and when you blu tack it down, be careful you will need to push or remove the excess tack that comes though the sleepers it can derail and or uncouple the engines (not very likely but can happen) and rolling stock (more likely because of the lack of weight)

[@laviniaharper6021]

lovely

[@InterCity82]

well I like my starter sets - and they're always popular vids!

[@kokodin5895]

although n gauge is a specyfication of 9 mm track gauge, a scale of 148 is not the same as continental train scale of 160 used for n scale tracks by piko and arnold if you want confusion there always some with trains

[@InterCity82]

thanks for the comment!

[@Xantec]

farrish was brought out by bachmann a few years ago, thats why it has both names on

[@Swifty11Productions]

Will u be having 2 controlers as the controller would only be on 1 half of the office?

[@Freightliner90047]

Great video mate :)

[@Trainmaster909]

Majestic!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jackmyers8]

Will you be making a video of the extra track you said you have?

[@TrainFan_95]

Sounds like a lawnmower lol.

[@InterCity82]

EXACTLY!

[@BRU11ROAD]

The round things are speaker housings as you can add sound to this

[@InterCity82]

hehe thanks for the comment!

[@InterCity82]

haha!! it's coming up!

[@combatfoo2000]

TRANSFORMERS! More Than Meets The Eye!

[@InterCity82]

the small motor spins faster than a normal motor so it sounds louder

[@fireglo450music]

A railway like what you've proposed would benefit from some American Gondola Cars. But, to keep with the style of your country, some little ore wagons or maybe EWS Megaboxes will do nicely.

[@bowringADB]

awesome vid

[@InterCity82]

it's usually a bit more expensive actually - loco wise anyway - altho cheaper rolling stock makes up for it I guess.

[@blackstonen7735]

Hi Will That really doesn't sound healthy. Maybe that is why you got such a good deal on it? Have you considered trying to service an N Gauge loco yet... Good luck :D

[@666seperoth]

Yeah great I think u should start doing giveaways , just an idea but I think it would give us channel a MASSIVE boost

[@InterCity82]

OO and N is enough for now!

[@nutfield0013]

I would have said a 9 for the packaging as the adaptor, locomotive boxes and the wires were quite hard to get out

[@Scep42]

They're the smallest and most detailed for their size models. For quality N scale look for Kato trains. They're based in Japan but do North American and other area trains, IC

[@Trainmaster909]

If you still have your ex command, you could use your controller you got in the set to make a 2 throttle control system

[@leftmid18]

they are quite easy to read the desanation boards on the class 150's i own the an Arriva on and a Central trains one but wait until you get your hands on a class 170 they are so hard to read but trust me they are there

[@mjsdecember1990]

You have the same curtains as me my grandad had an n gauge saddle tank

[@InterCity82]

done!

[@666seperoth]

R u planning on carring on with n guage after this project even though your a 00 guy!?!

[@InterCity82]

it has already been ran-in, many months ago.

[@InterCity82]

There's loads out there! I wonder if people would like me to review more of them?

[@Jodie842]

Actually I think that loco might have something wrong with it - it shouldn't be that rough. Running it in for a while might help

[@franbob1000]

This is jonas nice video

[@WestRail642fan]

is this ngauge project part 2

[@darthyoda000]

With N Gauge is it still fish plates in the track?

[@britishrailvideos2427]

you should put some interior lights in

[@marcelodt]

Interesting. The same model in N scale is more detailed than its similar in OO scale.

[@InterCity82]

lol maybe, but I'm no where near that stage yet. Thanks for the tip tho!

[@staffpj]

have you thought of doing the class 960 bubble car

[@InterCity82]

they're not bad - not bad at all
