New Bachmann Class 37

[@bloodmarine77]

i got the class 66 db schenker today to go with the car transporters.i got it from trains for you and tested it out on runswick leamside for an hour after they shut shop.what a brilliant layout.i wll do a vid tomorrow and post it.

[@EverardJunction]

@hornbachhh Thanks, i'm well pleased with it. The swift one is getting quite rare now from what i've looked on.

[@nesr8786]

very nice ,you can hear how heavy it is ,and the running sound it makes is great.good job thanks

[@ScottishNSRailFan]

Enjoyed watching your video again. Now up to 61 Bachmann models, including 3 on reserve, regional additions

[@bloodmarine77]

that is a well nice 37 mate.ive been looking at buying that.im off to snetterton model shop in the morning so i may bring back a new loco,maybe the 37 or 66.

[@EverardJunction]

Since this once was released they seem to have got rid of the opening doors, my newer railfreight one has sealed doors.

[@EverardJunction]

37s tended to haul shorter rakes of mk2s often for local services. In the 1980s it was common to see one with 4 to 6 mk2s. The formation of these trains varied quite a bit. A typical rake would consist of one brake second or brake first if first class was required and about 4 or 5 tourist second open coaches. The brake coach would generally be at the front, back or in the middle.

[@EverardJunction]

@5029tom You can use a screwdriver to push them apart or use a magnet with forces them apart. You can also lift the train off the track.

[@EverardJunction]

@JPMiller14 Bachmann decoders can adjust the brightness of the lights. Its CV number 63 and can goes from 0 - 7 levels of brightness.

[@EverardJunction]

@jamienwr Cab lights are controlled by Function 1 and headlights are controlled by function 0.

[@duncancampbell452]

Richard quite like class 37 fantastic locos love the growl of them

[@waldenhouse]

Ah! so you have to remove that plug first - thank you. Most helpful. Just got the new 37 in Green, but it's damaged so it'll have to go back unfortunately. Didn't check the doors though, but will in the morning!

[@UKRailsandMore]

Great video Richard, covering a great model, nice livery too! Have just done a few garden running sessions of the COLAS, DRS and Coal sector grey liveries if your interested in checking them out! All the best and great work! Paul

[@EverardJunction]

@gower2880 Yeah, I know what you mean. The heljan one is really hard to find now and the bachmann modelzone one was just too expensive. I hope a new one at a reasonable price is released one day.

[@banksroadmodernimage7358]

On some of my bachmann 37s ive glued the doors open,and added extra detailing like tail lamps or fire extinguisher.

[@Synthematix]

I had the regional railways version, beautiful trains these you can connect a micro motor to those fans

[@hornbachhh]

Nice 37 .I love the 37's great loco's good choice.I would like the swift version next just got to keep my eyes pealed for one cheers andy

[@EverardJunction]

Thanks, i don't have any 44s. I've heard good things about them and seen many used on other layouts.

[@bloodmarine77]

@EverardJunction i think it would aswell.im looking at getting the ews 66.i very nearly got the new class 70 today but i think i may wait a while tho.

[@EverardJunction]

@MrJezza31 You can lift the train straight out or use a magnet that sits under the track or between the rails.

[@oldsynth]

Hey mate. Hows it goin

[@MegaTrainlover]

It looks very smart with those Mk1 Intercity coaches :)

[@JtagSheep]

I see you have the newer model of bachmann class 37 the older ones dont include opening doors nor a 21 pin connector. The older ones are only 8 pin decoders. Cheers nice video. Like the loco ! i love 37s and i love bachmann

[@tpe18509]

very nice. im waiting for my vitrains class 37 still.

[@EverardJunction]

@zaccee1996 Usually I put a thin piece of platicard above or below the kadee, this pushes it up or down a little bit and fixes most issues. So far I have not bought any stock that is completely the wrong height, some of it just needs slight adjustments.

[@EverardJunction]

@tpe18509 Thanks, my 37 also took a while to arrive

[@davidfrobel7582]

nice video, it must be quite a heavy loco, there seems a lot of metal in there, that's good

[@EverardJunction]

@Tuxedo748 Yes all the doors are spring loaded. I show them being opened at about 1:30 into the vid.

[@EverardJunction]

@itgamer100 Cool, bachmann seem to not bother doing the 37 in more modern liveries anymore. I'm hoping vitrains will do a NSE class 47.

[@ScottishNSRailFan]

Your video was very helpful, as I just purchased nine Bachmann locos, all at a special price, minus decoders. My other purchases, DCC only/with sound. Where did you get your Kadee couplings? If too expensive here, will purchase in the States, when I am back there in two weeks.

[@RailsofBelfast]

Some of My Bachmann Class37 Hav Opening Doors @ Cab Ends.

[@ScottishNSRailFan]

Enjoyed your video. Even though I have 37415 in my collection, I did not know the doors opened. Which Kadee couplings do you recommend, as I understand there are many versions?

[@EverardJunction]

@D335Media I use the 19 with the slot for nem pockets.

[@EverardJunction]

@bloodmarine77 Thanks, a 66 would suit those IPA car wagons you have.

[@gower2880]

@EverardJunction I cant believe none of the manufacturers have yet to release a Dcc, NSE 47, (Heljan Tubby Duff excluded)!!!

[@robpeter1]

excellent video subbed to you

[@jaannetts16]

i am going to get a couple of vi trains 37s

[@richarddennis8033]

Hi. Just watched you video on Bachmann Class 37. Just wondered if you have fitted a sound decoder to this model and if so what is the best decoder to use.

[@EverardJunction]

@jaannetts16 Nice, they'll look good on the new part of your layout.

[@EverardJunction]

I have that one too, nice model.

[@modeltrainteen95]

nice one can this train be a freight train aswell

[@Scotrailfan92]

I got one yesterday. It's in railfreight red stripe livery

[@jamienwr]

Can you turn the cab light off whilst keeping the head light/marker lights on? or are they all controlled under the same function number?

[@EverardJunction]

@bloodmarine77 Nice, i'll look out for it

[@JPMiller14]

the cab lights? they are dim and look the correct brightness. My coal sector 37 (relatively new) has white LED's in the cab and look awful as they are super bright. have Bachmann altered this?

[@RailsofBelfast]

I Hav on Order Bachmann Class DB Schenker DCC Sound.Been W8IN Long Time Gettin 1 @The Right Money Everard Junction.......

[@zaccee1996]

if a kadee isnt the right height, what do you do?

[@ninjazandnoobs6222]

My class37 are Bachman and they are the older models No.class37410 and 411 the have 8 pin decoders and the doors open on them

[@Caz_Rail]

hey mate, good video there, can you tell be which Kadee's you use? I'm interested in converting all of mine soon.

[@EverardJunction]

@60026to Thanks mate

[@EchoAlphaRomeo]

What size Kadee are you using there mate? 18 or 16?

[@Liverpoolfcfever]

Wat is the product number of the bachamman chip and could you use this chip on the 47

[@EverardJunction]

Mine don't make any noises at the moment.

[@grah84mck]

just noticed on my 2011 ews livery 37 it has opening doors yet the 2015 colas and drs dnt. interesting.

[@EverardJunction]

Not all, only some.

[@MrJezza31]

reat but how in earth do you uncouple kadee couplers?

[@Harrythepot]

can you make us a video on kadee couplers and how they work?

[@JtagSheep]

Just a quick re visit i got my old trusty 37 back out today does yours make any noise when you run it ? mine makes a vibrating noise due to the flywheel inside the train spinning but was just wondering if all the 37's do it cheers

[@ScottishNSRailFan]

What size of Kadee coupling do you recommend?

[@EverardJunction]

@cazy1395 Thanks

[@WilliamHBaird-eq2hp]

I Gotta have one with Sound!

[@EverardJunction]

I use no. 19s

[@EverardJunction]

I use a lenz LH100 controller

[@EverardJunction]

yes

[@5029tom]

how do you uncouple kd couplers

[@enessevimlikurt2683]

does all of the the latest locos has opening doors?

[@cazy1395]

Amazing

[@Bengladdish]

what couplings are they

[@JAS0NJW]

Could you pleas do a video on how to program the locos speed and number

[@brickleyyard4966]

I have a old one from bachmann that has opening doors

[@S6Video]

great vid ;)

[@waldenhouse]

By the way, I've accidently put on the "subtitles" - have a look, it's a hoot!!

[@bjoe385]

I’ve just bought one, it says oil every 24hrs of running. I use it for a few hours every day so I’d end up oiling it every week, Is the 24hrs oiling interval justified or overkill?

[@EverardJunction]

Its overkill. I have models that have not been oiled for months or years and they see plenty of use. They still work fine. As a general rule oil it if you can hear it making more noise than it usually does. Cheers

[@bjoe385]

EverardJunction cheers.

[@modeltrainteen95]

cool thanks mate

[@enessevimlikurt6310]

could you show me them then?

[@JtagSheep]

Hmm might be motor wobble check it in 10 just making a cuppa :)

[@enessevimlikurt6310]

where did you got it from?

[@Caz_Rail]

Thankyou :)

[@nathanielhossack]

I have this model too

[@lukesjunction2508]

37 are my fave Richard I have farish in n gauge...can you subscribe to british rail fan please but I must say in one of your layout tours I saw the 37 scared with its nose ripped off...PS this 37 has one thing anoying about it but the headlight covers ar white and bulge out of the indicator box

[@Scotrailfan92]

yeah cept mine fell, well rather the legs on my basebpard collapsed

[@nicksweet6498]

What size jade did you fit to this 37

[@thebritfarmer]

I believe he uses #19s that is what I use mainly as well.

[@EverardJunction]

@ardnut53 Kadees

[@paullloyd3390]

Hello, your class 37 is a lovely loco, however, I bet you won't be able to oil the gear train without having to take the whole model apart. I tried pointing this problem out to bachmann ages ago and they didn't want to know. It seems from your video they're STILL making these models as a sealed unit, so what happens when the oil or grease dries out and the model needs some more? Paul.

[@nicksweet6498]

Sorry predictive txt kadee
