Opening the Blue Pullman by Bachmann

[@InterCity82]

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

[@NorbertRoll]

One of the beautifulst train I have seen. Congrats.

[@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.

[@7APT7]

Looks great with all the lights on and all lite up, you aren’t normally stuck for words Wil ...

[@2013574]

I love the sound when the wheels go over the gaps in the track

[@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

[@madmanthan21]

Now this is a model train!!! absolutely stunning, gorgeous beyond words!!!

[@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

[@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.

[@Will-Xaru]

This video made me feel so excited. Your excitement and happiness really made me feel happy too! I had a rough day and my sister is in hospital, but just seeing how happy you are made me feel 10x better... keep up the great reviews

[@nathishvel5725]

Wow, I think many of us are just as blown away by it. Now I want one! The lights are beautiful. I enjoyed this review immensely (and your other ones as well). Thanks Will!

[@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.

[@anthoneyking6572]

I just Brought this myself and now I must save for the twin howes sound chips as the youtube of that leaves me speechless too as you say one of the best trains going thanks for shareing

[@GWR941]

We had one of these at the NWMES 00 Gauge club 2 weeks ago its epic and so is your unboxing of it , very much enjoyed .

[@chezars1234]

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

[@skafook]

Thank you ic82. I smiled through this whole video

[@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!

[@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]

Hehe, I do get a little carried away sometimes - but thank you so much for the kind feedback!

[@joncopper5062]

Best train I have seen from Bachman

[@7APT7]

Great to hear your excitement and enthusiasm for the product.... great review!

[@ClassThrash]

WOW, there's quality and then there's that. One hell of a good model!!!!!!

[@thebritfarmer]

Brilliant, just brilliant !!! When you add sound they are even better :) I have been given the go ahead to purchase one in the new year !!

[@carlbentley80]

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

[@TheGamerKing14]

nice light app, and the Blue Pullman by Bachmann is just....... Incredible!

[@InterCity82]

I shall definitely check them out John, definitely!

[@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 !!

[@jkhudnhfgdnjmbdkn7857]

nice vid keep up the good work. I remember watching this video 8 years ago

[@InterCity82]

thanks for the comment! Yeah I've got more American stuff coming up in the current Series 4.

[@InterCity82]

definitely cannot wait to add sound, you're quite right there!

[@mike59317]

Matey you've excelled your self with this review.Mines on order and I can't wait for it to arrive,Cheers and keep up the good reviews.

[@APOTwixx]

BEST TRAIN AND BEST REVIEW EVER!!!!!!!!!! Well done. Well done. :-)

[@InterCity82]

oh wow! Thanks for the comment!

[@chelmswoodjunction]

will what can i say but jaw on the floor with amazement on this review of the bachmann midland pullman this is just a great review of a great train pack and you are a very lucky person to own one and i hope i can get one eventually for my railway. as always no stone is left unturned by you as you show us everything that this train pack has to offer. this has to be by far one of bachmann best ever train packs they have ever realised great video mate big big thumbs up 10/10 peter from essex

[@InterCity82]

Yup! Coming up in the current Series 4

[@InterCity82]

thanks for the excellent comment!

[@befrank88]

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

[@InterCity82]

oh I love that film!

[@InterCity82]

haha thanks for the comment, glad you liked it!

[@bloodmarine77]

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

[@InterCity82]

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

[@impy1980]

By far the best train/loco I've seen, it looks superb & awesome with the lights on. Easiest improvement would be the spin fans, that would be amazing, the sipping wine passengers thing would just be silly super cool awesome hehe. I definite wanna get this when I have a semi permanant layout, next semester my workload is halved, so gonna get some 4x1 baseboards built. My favourite DMU seen (look wise) was the 101 but this easily wins. Bachmann need a congratulatory pat on the back for this one :)

[@pepperthekobold]

Wow, that really is something else. As you said, it sets a new standard. The only thing that could POSSIBLY make it better would be people in the coaches, food on the tables and an engine sound. That said the electric motors almost sound like tiny diesel engines anyway, and I love how it actually makes the clickety clack as she passes over track joints. Did the engine cooling fans in the tops of the two end units spin by the way?

[@Haltwhistle00]

The lamps were not actually on the table, but they were reasonably close. They were originaly hooked onto the window just over the table. But the way the dining table was laid out on a Blue Pullman, they never had table lamps.

[@InterCity82]

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

[@InterCity82]

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

[@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 !..

[@scottlawrence3751]

Great review as always, I need this train in my life

[@InterCity82]

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

[@jakestrains2646]

The handrails on top of the loco are called lift rings to lift the panels of with a crane for maintenance

[@Ryan871]

What a fantastic model. I wish bachmann could do this more often! Im sure theres a carriage from the real thing at the NRM in York?..... so theres a bit of it been preserved!

[@InterCity82]

you can get a full yellow ended one too, yes.

[@RailsOfTheWorld]

Fabulous review and model as well will

[@ListerDavid]

Lovely review for a lovely model

[@InterCity82]

The HST was developed because the APT was taking so long and costing so much, but there were things that had been learned that were incorporated into the HST.

[@MattyMonk]

Outstanding Video, and great enthusiasm Will, Loved it!

[@matthewpeter]

the most impressive thing more for me is that Bachmann's standard response when people went on how they should make this was "ok we'll make it, but its going to cost £500 minimum", and they've done it for WELL under that.

[@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.

[@BritishRailways60163]

Liked & faved! Excellent review on this unbelievable train! Runs so smooth,and all those lights make it, to be honest like no other train Bachmann has done!

[@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!

[@jaannetts16]

it is really amazzing well done bachmann and well odne for another great review.

[@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

[@Matthewmodeller229]

You sir, own a God of trains!

[@steburge1]

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

[@Matthewmodeller229]

I have the 0-4-0 locmotive that used to shunt these babies around! Review now uploaded!

[@bpresolve]

Coming to Uk in two months got to take the Bachmann pullman back to Oz with me. I will be the talk of the Club (AMRAWA) Keep the good work Up Will Best reagards Bill Pickering

[@InterCity82]

hehe thank you for commenting!

[@AlanSurgeoner]

Hey Intercity82, lovely train and saw how excited you were about it. I watched another video on KZbin and reckon you might enjoy it as the guy seems to know all about trains and especially this model from the 60s when it started with Triang through Hornby till Bachmann. it is chambs123 is his you tube name so if your interested ,he has 3 or 4 differ4ent trains of the blue Pullman class in the livery of their times

[@jamesthornton7423]

You've done a great a job with your videos

[@PinkThorn242]

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

[@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]

agreed and thanks for the comment!

[@InterCity82]

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

[@avlisk]

9:50, Lift rings help with panel removing or sometimes, even lifting the entire body off the chassis.

[@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!

[@HARRYMALLARD]

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

[@chambs123]

Hey Will you never seem to amaze with your reviews! Another great one indeed. I have been unindated [or is that inundated?] with requests to see all 4 of my various Tri-ang original blue Midland Pullmans running! I have already featured the first version in a fairly recent video but I'm now going to do a vid with the following 3 versions too! They're not as detailed as the later versions but hell....they're still pretty nice & sort-after! Best regards, John.

[@foxhoundleeds]

personally, I'm not a fan of the midland pullman, however the technology, detail and features of it are amazing. lets hope we see more of this level of detail on forthcoming models! thanks for the review ic82! ;) great vid. ;)

[@That_One_Guy_In_A_Band]

Now, I dunno about you people, but I'm a far much bigger fan of steam power than diesel, but this is like, the holy grail of diesel units! And I'm American! Although I still think the holy grail of all trains is the streamlined Milwaukee Road class F7 4-6-4 Baltic Hiawatha, of which unfortunately, none survived the scrapper's torch. DX

[@InterCity82]

you're right! Very good for the price really

[@InterCity82]

Yes, me too!

[@WSR70000]

This is how all models should be built like!

[@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

[@tskuhac]

Really enjoy your reviews, you have some amazing models. keep up the good work

[@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

[@InterCity82]

[@InterCity82]

[@steburge1]

[@panniertankboy8751]

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

[@InterCity82]

thanks for the comment Jaike!

[@SwindellSteamWorks]

Now I want one of these sets.

[@InterCity82]

I'll check it out tomorrow

[@morgj5911]

brill review wanted this for years, cant find it they stopped it :'( love all your reviews they should have preserved it but they didn't

[@InterCity82]

Yup! ExpressModels sell kits just right for the job

[@InterCity82]

wow! Thanks for the comment Ash!

[@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

[@pickwth1]

The main reason for the demise of this train was the Electrification of the West Coast Mainline completed in 1966, which lead to an electric hauled Pullman service (which was faster and cheaper to run) between London Euston and Manchester London Road.

[@InterCity82]

Yup! Once she's on the proper layout, she will more or less remain there and remain coupled up.

[@InterCity82]

haha! thanks for the comment

[@InterCity82]

thanks for the comment! new logo?
