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!

[@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...

[@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.

[@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

[@britishngauge]

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

[@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.

[@InterCity82]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@JamesMHBurrow]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@alexhitchcock7691]

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

[@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 !

[@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...

[@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.

[@InterCity82]

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

[@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

[@Xantec]

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

[@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.

[@FnafFanProductions]

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

[@InterCity82]

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

[@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!!!!

[@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)

[@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

[@snakeTDgameLNERfan]

Can't wait to start my own N gauge layout

[@BRU11ROAD]

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

[@InterCity82]

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

[@InterCity82]

it fits between the track pieces fine

[@InterCity82]

I thought so! thanks for the comment

[@InterCity82]

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

[@benhunter09]

Hope the project goes well

[@scrapsurvivors6671]

4 years latter the vid is still helpful

[@InterCity82]

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

[@julianhornbrook1083]

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

[@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]

hmmm not sure - shall have to have a look

[@jackmyers8]

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

[@InterCity82]

maybe a mini-project for the future

[@staffpj]

have you thought of doing the class 960 bubble car

[@InterCity82]

thanks for the comment!

[@InterCity82]

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

[@Nscaleguy1]

Can't wait for more unboxings!

[@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

[@irishrailtrains]

That is one awsome starter set.

[@boyracer19941]

do you have the tornado loco if so can you do a unboxing and review

[@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! :)

[@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.

[@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.

[@TrainFan_95]

Sounds like a lawnmower lol.

[@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 :)

[@HARRYMALLARD]

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

[@britishrailvideos2427]

you should put some interior lights in

[@Swifty11Productions]

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

[@kev36630]

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

[@InterCity82]

hehe thanks for the comment!

[@mjsdecember1990]

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

[@darthyoda000]

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

[@nutfield0013]

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

[@wilsonm6839]

When I got that set it came in First Great Northern livery and the front dashboard said Preston

[@WestRail642fan]

is this ngauge project part 2

[@madzack757]

Hey intercity82 can you change the British plug and use the controller for an American plug well can I

[@marcelodt]

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

[@lcatlin3092]

Why dont you get the class 350 appolo or london midland?

[@jaannetts16]

great detail love the little lights reallly looks gd

[@MulliGWR]

Very nice! N gauge is so cool!

[@DanTheCaptain]

Wait witch one is bigger?

[@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!

[@SimulationNetwork]

cool cant wait for more unboxings

[@InterCity82]

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

[@nikki7171]

can u do the mallard???

[@jacobporrett]

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

[@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

[@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

[@jimniiskskq]

what were you thinking at the end

[@jimniiskskq]

wait I commented on this video?

[@RailReviws]

Is N gauge the same as oo gauge exept for the size.

[@InterCity82]

I will do! Thanks

[@InterCity82]

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

[@lcatlin3092]

The reason why the coulours are different is each one holds different things e.g the purple one holds water for the toilet

[@Matthewmodeller229]

Very hard to do that on an Intercity82 video!

[@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

[@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

[@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? :)

[@APOTwixx]

I wonder why Bachmann doesn't package EZ track with their starter sets like they do in the US?

[@Trainsbigandsmall]

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

[@avlisk]

And O scale is 2 different scales, too, depending on where in the world you are. I just got into large scale, the 45mm gauge stuff, and if you think the other scales are wacky, check out G. 1;19, 1:20.3, 1;22.5, 1:24, 1:29., 1:32 They are all called G scale and G gauge. And with just as many coupler styles. I have a headache.I'm modelling 1:29, which I call G29 for simplicity. It's really narrow gauge , but close enough that it passes for standard, just like OO does. Did I mention my head hurts.

[@lewiscrossley5168]

I thought the destination says Prestatyn but I'm not sure

[@jaliammcmellor7601]

Can someone please recommend a good n gauge starter set cheap as I can't find a class 150 starter set anywhere

[@officialdelticdp1991]

Go on eHattons and search graham farish starter set

[@pompouskatfish5402]

9 21 the train is traveling to me. I really need to get that model, but I live in 'Murica.

[@InterCity82]

I'm sure it won't be long before I've got an N gauge Black Five lol

[@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]

just see what happens in the upcoming series on N gauge

[@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.

[@MaxxD86]

its best to run the other wire under the fish plate joints so that you dont end up with a bump under your track, other than that great video.

[@InterCity82]

OO and N is enough for now!

[@BristolSpotterHD]

i once had a N Gauge layout which had Class 47 and 4 Petrol Tanks... sold it weeks later tho :L

[@deafyboy86]

Does anyone know the dimensions of this starter track? Like the size of the oval of track? OO is too big for my room so I'm thinking about going N gauge, however, my room is tiny, and I need to know how big the track is complete. :)

[@InterCity82]

Call Peco! And ask them! They'll know!

[@joeygmc528]

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

[@jonnyhuk2]

deafyboy86 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]

good idea! Thanks for that!
