Opening The Night Mail Train Set by Graham Farish

[@jai6072]

It's been years since I watched your channel. I feel so nostalgic and kinda sad but happy ya know. I need to start buying trains and train sets again but my boyfriend and I are trying to stop spending so much. I'll just keep it secret lol ;)

[@Trainmaster909]

I love how Graham Farish, Atlas, and Kato make all their sets DCC ready or DCC friendly (which is DCC ready with a board replacement). It gives a great upgrade path to DCC.

[@flymajj]

Nice review. I also bought this set when it first came out. Interestingly 47522 had 'Parcels' branding at first, but it wasn't long before it was transferred to Stratford for non-Parcels duties, at which time the 'Parcels' branding was removed and the Stratford cockney sparrow was added. This is the period the model depicts. It is also one of the very small number of 47s that had the flush front (no headcode box) at both ends after 2 separate accidents. After yet another accident it got a donor cab front (with the headcode box!) from another loco, at which time it was repainted into the red/grey Parcels livery.

[@PuuberZ]

Nice to see some N gauge stuff. I got my desktop layout because of your videos. Now i have Thomas and Percy running on it.

[@buzzukfiftythree]

Nice video, thanks. I'm an N Gauge enthusiast and have owned both British and Swiss outline models. The quality these days is really good and the detail brilliant.

[@ahirschfeld1974]

I just got the Peco ST-300 starter track set and have the ST-301 ordered. The Night Mail Set looks great! I definitely want one but am having issues finding one on eBay and the Bachmann UK site. Will have to try and find one in a shop there in the UK when I go back over soon to do some Christmas shopping.

[@christopherPumpkin16]

I bought this set for £150 at Tings last year! Great stuff!!! 😍

[@Class66Rocks]

Great review mate, I'm eventually going to re-start my n-gauge project once the OO gauge layout is fully operational

[@ahirschfeld1974]

I have been wanting this set since I first watched your video on it. Having quite the difficulty in finding one.

[@ciaranburke3243]

Great review, such a lovely set hope to see you back soon 👍

[@ModelMinutes]

A great looking train set! I'd have loved to have something like this when I started in N Gauge, but I got started in that period when Grafar was being bought by Bachmann and there weren't any Sets in production, had to get it all separately.

[@Whovian-eq7ui]

This was a great review. You have even convinced me to buy the set and I will hopefully make an n gauge layout for it.

[@Whovian-eq7ui]

It’s a brilliant set perfect for getting into n gauge or expanding a collection

[@flymajj]

@@Whovian-eq7ui It is a lovely set. There are many other parcels coaches you can add, and in many liveries from that period - plain blue, blue/grey, intercity, etc. Even the occasional rogue ScotRail or provincial van.

[@rexremedy1733]

If I had a son, that’s exactly the type of trainset I would get him for Christmas or so...

[@JPoulAndersson]

I didn't know you were also into N gauge, but it's a very nice pack all the same! Thanks, Joachim

[@melvyncox3361]

Nice little set!I have some continental N gauge going back to the seventies,and some recent newer editions,and the quality is great on them all (Arnold/minitrix/Fleischmann and Bachmann).Love N gauge.The size is just right!

[@JamesSmithStudios]

It’s great to see more N Gauge!

[@BarnabasJunction]

Great unboxing & review, you are superb at showing what makes model railways so rewarding and entertaining. Watching videos like this really makes me wish i had gone with N gauge instead of OO gauge. I have several review/unboxing videos like this due to be released very soon, please take a moment to have a look.

Hi Will. Nice review. Have the loco, OO version for my collection. Paid a fortune for it. Saw the loco in real life, just once, in platform 1, Glasgow Queen Street, a long time ago.

[@DrAl60103]

Don't worry about the coach weight, Will - it's just 'cause you're used to OO stuff. I'm an N gauger, and these are weighted fine - remember the N gauge motors are very small, so excess weight will give un-needed drag and add unwanted strain to the loco motors.

[@flymajj]

Totally agree.

[@kirishima638]

These kits are very much made as gift sets/novelty items now. My grandad had an N gauge layout and we used to go to the shops and there were isles and isles of cheap N gauge stuff. I remember getting a complete 'starter set' that included a locomotive, several cars, lots of track, points and even buildings and little people! Now you just get two cars and an oval barely big enough for the loco to fit. Graham Farish wasn't positioned as a high end brand until it was bought out by Bachmann and production was moved to china. The quality is a lot better now but Dapol is better value for money.

[@raymondleggs5508]

I remember life like used to sell an N gauge set Called the Little Joe that came with an oval of track Porter 0-6-0 steam loco. Boxcar, High Cube Boxcar, cabooose, telephone poles, trees, 2 building kits, figures. Power pack/transformer.

[@mirageinthedesert5448]

[@flymajj]

The Highlander is another lovely set. It will be nice when the additional West Highland coaches are released (soon), although the recently released weathered MK1 coach twin pack with ScotRail branding are also perfect for the 37/4.

Hi Will when are we going to see your oo layout that you started building upstairs before you took your break from youtube. we have all been waiting so long to see this. please Will can you give us all an update on this. Thanks for coming back to youtube and doing your vids again. best wishes

[@modelrailwaynoob]

I'm very new to model railways and have only completed one layout - a Thomas the Tank Engine for a 4 year old's birthday surprise. For my next layout, I am using 00 and 009 but I am finding 009 a pain. The track is harder to work with and for some reason, a lot of the Peco track small curves have fish-plates that fall off!

[@Penguig]

I remember buying my n gauge trainset it was this or the steelworker. I chose the steel worker.

[@KeithTucker45]

Great set, Will. Reckon GF (or Bachmann) could have included an extra coach as there was room in the box, though.

[@ronclark9724]

Its time for Will to produce a wonderful small n scale layout inside a large box... Please... A few n scale props inside a free discarded cardboard box. Maybe the train set's box will be sufficient...

[@ollychap1985]

A very nice train set! I noticed your trains on the shelves I would be careful about the Sun fading the paint on the trains I think that your old camera was better than the new one for video quality and the sound was more natural sounding

[@ronclark9724]

Let them fade. It will make the trains more realistic...

[@streamleazefishhouse]

You need an N gauge Castle, Hall and 28XX and of course a Pannier tank :D Maybe Manor instead of a Hall?

I’m not sure how much you paid for that set close to £190 I wager, but I wanted to comment on your review. First and foremost not wanting to sound rude but your comments from the 24:00 to 24:07 you said N gauge is not perfect!!! I beg to differ. Graham Farish stock may not be perfect and after listening to your comments you got me thinking time to try out a set my father left me last year when he sadly died. So I opened his last new set which is Digital Commuter set 370-060 and the price on the lid says £169.99 Now I’m glad I don’t collect English model railways as you guys are clearly being sold substandard equipment. I compared his set with my new Fleischmann n gauge 931882 DCC Freight Set which I paid £220 for and have to say it's only English N gauge equipment which is built very light and the quality of the boxes and the models from European manufacturers are second to none so I can understand why you would be disappointed with your set. If I had to add ballast to my coaches I'd be sending them back. Comparing Fleischmann with Farish is like comparing apples with the crown jewels.

[@rexremedy1733]

This is strange. I have continental n scale, and it seems true what you describe here. But it’s the other way in OO or H0 scale. While UK OO models are usually of very high standard at quite reasonable pricing, H0 is extremely expensive for roughly the same quality. I wonder how they can produce such good quality in 00 scale at such reasonable, often cheap pricing, while new H0 models are often twice as expensive for comparable models and build quality...

[@flymajj]

Digital Commuter was a great set. It was the first DCC-ready Graham Farish set.

Bachmann sucks here across the pond and single flat from a company called athearn is cheaper the the same flatbed by Bachmann. Norfolk Southern heritage locomotives are way overpriced, 8102 (Pennsylvania) is cheaper then Intermountian's version. But Bachmann is a very big necessity for train sets. Just aslong as you got a hobbyshop ready to knock it down to 64$ for a starter set.

[@WDG13031]

Sucks in the UK too! They have no standard for detail. Just look at the Graham Farish Class 47....wire handrails on the sides and moulded on ones on the front. How STUPID!!! This is Bachmann's logic - Class 47 = moulded handrails on the front, wire handrails on the side - Class 31 = wire sandpipes, wire handrails on the side, moulded handrails on the front - Class 70 = no sandpipes at all and it is very prominent on these. If you Google images of these locos you'll see what I mean, the sandpipes on the Class 31 are less noticeable than on the Class 70 and they did the opposite.

[@BattleshipOrion]

@@WDG13031 feel ya they need to step it up and start listening to the customer I have asked for the Shay locomotive and PRR heritage unit sence they stopped and the quality is going down if you have the American catalog you'll know what I mean.

[@GreyTheFloydianSergal]

you mention adding weight by using lead shot (liquid gravity). If you want to weigh down your stock with something easier to obtain & easier to implement (not forgetting cleaner as well), then I'd recommend self-adhesive Alloy Wheel weights. They're not too expensive, you can get a box of them in 5g, 10g for no more than £30. Liquid gravity may only cost about £10 for 240g but it can only really be obtained through model shops (which are sadly in decline) or online, wheel weights can be got through any good motorfactors. Then you've got to think about wastage as well, you are going to lose a little lead shot with every job but wheel weights have no wastage because they are just pieces of bar that you stick on which makes them so much more convenient & if you run out, you don't have to wait for them to arrive in the post, pop down to Euro Car Parts or CES (maybe Halfords) & pick up a box. as for the liveries, during the eighties, they did mix & match coach & loco liveries during the eighties. On our club layout Stokesay, we run a mail train with Blue, Blue/Grey & Royal mail stock with some items in clean & weathered condition. The coaches ended up all over the place & were repainted at different times so I don't really understand why people would have issues with particular liveries running with eachother. Even a lot of intercity loco hauled trains, you'd have rakes of coaches in the Mainline livery with a few blue/greys in there too

[@floridagoofysurfing27]

Never thought of that

[@flymajj]

There is no need to add weight to these. They do not derail at reasonable or even high speeds.

[@OddBallThe4th8382]

is n gauge cheaper than 00? because i was thinking of making a n gauge layout

[@floridagoofysurfing27]

With the level of craftmenship that goes into n guage, many sets go for as low as £180 but oo guage goes as low as £90, this is a big price difference, but it mainly regards the amount of space you have to offer, plus n guage can be less costly to do scienary, so when thinking about what you should get, it also depends on if you want a simple oval going through a beautiful Forrest or an intricate track with many sidings for trains to hide in and big commercial stations. I went on a bit of a ramble but I hope this helped. N guage, higher upfront cost but cheeper scienary, OO guage, cheeper upfront cost but takes up more room and more long term costs.

[@floridagoofysurfing27]

No matter what, this is an expensive hobby.

[@OddBallThe4th8382]

thank you and after reading your comment i think i'll stick with 00 gauge :)

[@OddBallThe4th8382]

very true.

[@ModelMinutes]

I picked up a 00 gauge train set for £40 not long ago - and i've known them to be cheaper than buying the locos on their own. N gauge is considerably more expensive (but in my opinion more fun!)

[@floridagoofysurfing27]

I've been doing oo guage but I don't have enough space, how much space do you save going into n gauge, like the measurements of two ovals one in oo guage and one in n guage, this would help Soo much, thanks

[@Poliss95]

You can get four times the track in the same space.

[@MetrobusChris]

It’s a nice set but why would you want them in this gauge I prefer Hornsby and Lima 🙂

[@Poliss95]

Because you can get four more times the track in the same amount of space, which means you can run trains of a realistic length and you can fit more scenery and buildings in. If you're very restricted on space, it can mean the difference between having a layout or not having one at all. I'd still run N Scale even if I had a massive amount of space.
