Bachmann J72/E1 Review - NER Lined Green Livery

[@SamsTrains]

Hi mate great video - love this review style, keep it up!! :D Lovely engines indeed - very happy with mine overall, Thanks for sharing, Sam :)

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

Thanks Sam, glad you enjoyed it! It’s definitely influenced by your own videos but then you know what they say about imitation being the sincerest form of flattery 😆

[@christopherstokes9393]

It's an absolutely beautiful model. Sadly, I'll probably never own one (wrong era for me), but I'm sure plenty of other modellers will enjoy them!

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

They are certainly very nice but I know what you mean. With the prices of models always increasing it's harder to justify getting locos that we like the look of but are totally wrong for where/when our layouts are set. Thanks for watching 😃

[@toucan221]

that is a good review and was fun, I do hope you more like this choo choo 🎵🎵⭐⭐

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

Glad you enjoyed it! There's lots more reviews like this on the channel. Thanks for watching 👍

Hi This is a well made video One of the best I've seen. Bachmann got the livery wrong on the loco it never had this livery And Bachmann admitted that too Keep safe arp

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

Thank you, really glad you enjoyed it. Yeah, I know but I still think Bachmann made the right decision as it looks great and will almost certainly be the most popular - even if it is technically fictional 😄 Thanks for watching!

That's a very nice looking engine. Unfortunately I can't afford one yet; I saw a Hattons listing for around £100.

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

Fair enough, £100 is one of the better prices I’ve seen for these though considering the original RRP. Thanks for watching 😃

[@DC4260Productions]

In the time since I posted that initial comment, I've ended up being able to buy an E1 for £91 from Rails of Sheffield, and I got her in the same order as an LBSCR H1.

Goodness…It wasn’t that long ago that the average price for an O 6 O tank was between 40 and 50 quid.

[@saltspringrailway3683]

What really impresses me is the water tanks are separate from the boiler whereas the older J72's filled in the gap.

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

Yes, we tend to take things like this for granted nowadays that the body isn't just a single moulded piece. Thanks for watching 😃

[@chickenbites8877]

I’d really love this model, kinda reminds me of Thomas the tank ^^

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

I agree! I think he was originally meant to be based on an LBSC E2 but the J72 does certainly have a look of Thomas about it! Thanks for watching 😃

[@chickenbites8877]

@@ThatModelRailwayGuy yes I heard Thomas was based on the E2, but there is no modern E2 model available as beautiful as this Bachmann E1 to my knowledge... what a stunner!
