Opening the Blue Pullman by Bachmann

Finally! At long last, the Blue Pullman (Midland Pullman set) is here! Easily the most impressive 'OO' gauge train I've ever looked at. Sure, it's not cheap, but this train has it all - stunning performance, exquisite detail and more lights than a Las Vegas hotel. Use the contents slide at the start of the video to watch the different parts of the video as you see fit. But otherwise, please do enjoy this feature-length presentation.

thanks for the comment mate! And when you do, you will love it!

[@peterforden5917]

I worked at Watford Junction first as a railwayman and then as a Guard into Broad street and I used to love when the Manchester Pullman pulled in and the liveried waiters stood at the doors of the carriages (cars) and that wonderful smell of bacon and eggs, kippers and fresh made coffee wafted over the platforms, now if Bachman can install that feature in DCC I'll be impressed ;D

[@pongomutley]

I lived at Luton ( God Help Me ) and remember these Pullmans' whooshing along the embankment past Leagrave Station in the early 60s'

[@peterforden5917]

robin redbrest For me it was the impression of an era gone by, it came to an end when people coplained that it cost more than first class, which even today seems ridiculous as the service was much much better than first class ,and now? it really is an era gone by sadly.

[@davewright7512]

Good old leagrave, I'm a 10 min walk from there

[@pongomutley]

Dave Wright Yeh, I lived at Sundon Park. 21 Hill rise, on the corner of Pennine Ave. Left in the 66 though. Went to Plymouth home of the Diesel Hydraulics, Class 42's and 52's and the Hymecs. All or some of which lived in the Laira Sheds.

[@NorbertRoll]

[@skafook]

Thank you ic82. I smiled through this whole video

[@GreyTheFloydianSergal]

Oooh look at that. With the lights on, you can even see the extra detailing on the seats! I think I can even see red carpets inside. What a gorgeous train, it looks like it really is a £300 model! Shame not all of us will be able to get any but good on you for getting one for your fans to drool over

[@GregPalmer1000]

My first sighting of the midland pullman was in the early sixties I was standing on the up platform at Wellingboro awaiting for a London train when a unit came through on the up line for St Pancras beautifull, even though with the 60 mph speed limit at that time due to station being on a curve it was super, especially with still seeing the odd steam loco or green peaks and maroon coachng stock it just brought some colour and uniformaty. The midland pullmans sets were transferred to the western region when the Wcml took delivery of the a/c mark 2 pullmans. As you probably know the western region ran 8 car sets which were both 1st and 2nd class, whereas the midland 6 csr sets were all 1st class.

[@ilcentral]

It sure is nice to see you get so excited over this. I got the same way when I got my Walthers Santa Fe Hi-Level chair cars. GREAT video.

[@InterCity82]

haha thanks for the comment, glad you liked it!

[@InterCity82]

[@InterCity82]

[@ListerDavid]

Fantastic, I have all the Farish variants in N but am contemplating getting the collectors edition in OO. My favorite train and model.

[@steburge1]

I got one of these Beautiful units all based on your wonderful review yesterday really pleased with it fantastic

[@Matthewmodeller229]

You sir, own a God of trains!

[@JulieAV]

Some how it didn't suprise me that your house is wired for remote control. You are so cute when you get excited. I love to watch that. in fact I have watched this several times just for the fun. Nice train set!

[@chezars1234]

absolutely stunning model i love the lights on the interior imagine siting inside of it

[@GrahamFoulston]

I know that you shot this video a while ago Will but having only relatively come back to railway modelling then this is new to me. Anyway, I have done a search for all things Blue Pullman on KZbin as my wife has just bought what I think must be one of the last remaining sets in the UK for me as a Christmas present (which I'm not allowed to have until Christmas Day!!). A fantastic review and like you, I cannot wait for the time I can open the box and get to see all that detail !!

[@AnthonyRailwayBVideos]

WOW!!! You've made me want one

[@jamesthornton7423]

You've done a great a job with your videos

[@InterCity82]

haha awwww thanks for commenting matey! Hope she is OK again now

[@steburge1]

I have one of these I'm so happy!

[@InterCity82]

lol thanks for the comment Phil! I still need to pop down and see you sometime!

[@InterCity82]

thank you for the comment. It's a shame not everyone will have one but I promise to let people come round and watch it on the new layout lol

[@1920Sparky]

I've never seen Will so happy!

[@bloodmarine77]

i really want one and i will get one soon but this video has made me want one even more now.

[@Hilltrack]

Beatiful! I have to get one!

[@CavanRail001]

Will, a fantastic review of what can only be described as THE best train their is. It could only receive the perfect 10/10 score, Table lights,Inside roof lighting, and directional lighting. A pure pleasure to watch as you went through it with a fine toothcomb searching for a fault and knowing you wouldn't find one. The best part 43:10 when it finally started rolling, and then @44:06 hearing that clickity click wonderfull. Daz

[@InterCity82]

thanks for the comment Jaike!

[@churroman183]

This is just all so cool

[@jackprocter8694]

WELL DONE BACHMANN!!!!

[@befrank88]

This Blue Pullman is spectacular..... I wish I could own one.

[@sledpungo]

That's one amazing train. I'm blown away! I think I might have let out a little pee when the lights came on ;) Great video, as always though Will, so well done!

[@InterCity82]

thank you!

[@OldSkoolGrandad]

Really enjoyed the review watched every minute ! An expensive set but when broken down into each unit and considering the detail and functions..Good value I think !..

[@InterCity82]

I think you're right yeah, good value really when you look at what you get

[@InterCity82]

I'll check it out tomorrow

[@railandmodel]

Indeedy mate, looool :-D Finally got mine now as you know. Thing is now, it's now making want to get interior lighting in the rest of my coaching fleet. Just looks so stunning running round the layout lit up in the dark :-) Kind regards mate.

[@InterCity82]

lol thanks for the comment! And I think you're right, definitely a bit of a collectors item.

[@MisterHampshire]

Stunning.

[@InterCity82]

Yup! Coming up in the current Series 4

[@trainkid773]

best review so far !!!!!!!!!!!

[@InterCity82]

Thank you!

[@InterCity82]

thanks for the comment! And I think you're right! lol

[@InterCity82]

haha! thanks for the comment

[@railandmodel]

Money well spent Will, Nice one. Should be getting mine next week :-)

[@siobhan104]

Epic Will. I can imagine you driving home stroking the box and drooling like Homer Simpson!!!. Just checked my old pics and found a pic I took of the similar South Wales Pullman in grey livery. All the best.

[@SwindellSteamWorks]

Now I want one of these sets.

[@patstevenson8545]

Watched your excellent review and very much enjoyed it. Went and bought one and discover that the uncoupler tool is missing. Any idea where I’d get one. Im in Dublin. Thanks

[@panniertankboy8751]

My God Will, you're reactions are just awesome throughout the video! XD

[@InterCity82]

definitely!

[@InterCity82]

Yes, me too!

[@InterCity82]

you're right! Very good for the price really

[@PinkThorn242]

10:18 I think it says "LOAD 11 CWT DISTRIBUTED". 11cwt (Eleven Hundredweight) being about 560kg.

[@Trainsbigandsmall]

Your OMGing all over the place Will!! It does look like a very nice train! Great video! I hope you get something going with your North American trains/freight rolling stock or a new video something? LOL

[@InterCity82]

agreed and thanks for the comment!

[@JBofBrisbane]

On USA trains, everyone went from where they were sitting to the dining car to eat. On the Blue Pullman, meals were brought from the kitchen car to wherever you were sitting. Notice that the seating is two facing two or one facing one over a table.

[@InterCity82]

wow that is impressive!

[@4468]

Great video Will, it's a spectacular model in every way, it's beautiful. I'm looking forward to the N gauge release even though it's missing the interior lighting which really does make the model shine ;) I've already got plans for a new larger layout to accommodate it, it's a model that inspires you to create something new and better. Top work Bachmann/Farish :)

[@jimniiskskq]

if it was dcc sound and if that fan moved AND if it was a good price, what would your reaction be? btw, do you like my profile pic? it is an LNER B12.

[@InterCity82]

haha I think you're right!

[@petermarchbank7739]

wonderfull vlog what was the cost as ive seen the same units for sale for about £600

[@firstgreatwesternfan7524]

I so want that model!!!

[@Mattslade6024]

there was one left in canton dep in Cardiff for ages. don't no what happened to it. was a long time ago though

[@InterCity82]

haha cheers Iain, and as you can see... she's worth every penny! lol

[@dgilbert222]

Enjoyed seeing this, reminded me of the Triang one many years ago ;-) thanks. I guess though that Bachmann intend this to be coupled up on the track at desk top height to avoid the risk of carrying three cars coupled together. Thanks for creating!

[@richardduncan7449]

Intercity82 got to say she is a lovely dmu I have got mine fitted with dcc sound by olivias trains keep up the gud work

[@robsweatherchannel]

Can I put lighting in the class 153 from Hornby or not and how do you put lighting in?

[@InterCity82]

are you sure? I think on some later services it might have (I have seen photos)

[@HARRYMALLARD]

Great video and stunning model, if you bow on the fan it should spin, Cheers Harry

[@InterCity82]

thanks for the very good comment!

[@InterCity82]

thanks for the comment! I'm sure you like yours just as much haha
