Unboxing the Bachmann Standard Class 5mt

[@theretrocrowe]

Mine arrived this morning. It is incredibly noisy and quite slow. I will have to see how it is after running in. The BR Green looks wonderful on these! Update: I have never witnessed a loco crawl this well. Took it 2 ½ minutes to move 5 inches and didn't cut out once! It has sped up at a medium speed and is now quieter

[@SamsTrains]

Ahh good luck mate - the motor in mine has burned out now, so fingers crossed yours is better!! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@RockyRailroadProductions_B0SS]

"Rolls Royce of locomotives" as some called them. Bachmann did a spectacular job on this locomotive.

[@SamsTrains]

Ahh really?? Well they were certainly one of the ultimate British steam developments! Yeah they did - fantastic for the price too! All the best, Sam :)

[@RockyRailroadProductions_B0SS]

I think it had something to do with having the performance of a 'Black Five' with the more comfortable cab. It's better than their US range steam for that price, although I do love their 0-6-0s just for their overall look.

[@WhistleStopWonders.]

Sam my freind has one of these but his smokebkx door open and the cab vent opens does yours if you dont know please check itll be a good detail if you ever put her in the sheds fir detsil you can open smoke box door!

Hi Sam Congratulations on reaching 7,000 subscribers. I really look forward to seeing your future videos. Al.

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks so much Al, I really do appreciate your support mate, All the best, Sam :)

[@paulahochtl8877]

i like to call them terrys

[@AlexStaddon]

Sam- the tender on this locomotive looks as though it has a mechanical coal pusher, something not often seen on locomotives but if I remember correctly it was employed on most of the Standard classes designed by Riddles post-war. Overall though, a lovely loco. I'm always impressed by Bachmann's efforts- I'm regretting not putting my name down for the new Brighton Atlantic preorder as I know they'll fly off the shelves the minute they're released! Ah well, keeping my eyes peeled for a kit (if all else fails a GNR C1 will do, they were the original design of the Brighton Atlantics- thanks Mr Marsh!) Grand video as always - Alex

[@SamsTrains]

Oh right - that's very cool, I never realised that! :D Yeah me too - I would love one of those actually, maybe they'll make enough of them this time ;) Thanks again Alex, Sam :)

[@A10LWN]

Beautiful loco as always Sam, also congrats on 7k! It's well deserved. Anthony.

Hey Sam. What a stunning locomotive truly amazing detail for the price. I've been slowly catching up on your content and still enjoying how you put these videos together. Great work. Oh and congrats on the 7000 Subs.

[@SamsTrains]

Hi mate, thanks for your comment - yeah this really is a great loco for the price! Thanks again, Sam :)

[@user-yo2lt8ch7v]

I think this loco looks really good! I imagine she'd look banging with some smoke deflectors

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks very much! Yeah I agree actually - sometimes the deflectors really set them off! :D All the best, Sam :)

[@kyankoh2991]

Sam, is that Henry in that vid?

[@oliverthegreatwesternengin8029]

Kyan Koh No, Henry is a Stannier Black 5. And this is a Standard Class 5. :)

[@kieranbricker3278]

Sam'sTrains did you know Henry was based off a black 5 locomotive please do a Henry and black 5 comparison

[@gcr5062]

appart from the standard class 2 the standard class 5 is my favorite BR standard locomotive. Every week I go the the great central railway I see the standard class 5 they are restoring and im very excited to see it running.

[@SamsTrains]

Yeah I'd have to agree with you there - I think the 5 was the nicest of the standards, maybe barring the 9F! I saw the class 5 at the GCR too - it's in a video on Monday in fact! All the best, Sam :)

[@keithparker5103]

GCR 506 When I was young working at Derby Loco Works I had the pleasure of being hauled behind green painted 73068 from Derby to York many times. I logged it 95 MPH between Church Fenton and York too many times to be wrong. I was lucky enough to come across a Bachmann model of that very loco' a couple of years ago. It is on display in my lounge.

[@custard_timelord2896]

i liked the start format with the music and everything

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks a lot mate! Yeah I was really happy with that! :D Cheers, Sam :)

[@Laurellien]

The non-standard one was the Thompson B1, or at least, that's what I'm guessing you intended. Actually, the loco you called a "Standard 4" was actually an ex-LMS Ivatt Class 4! The arguable one was the green Ivatt 2, which was practically identical to the BR Standard Class 2.

[@SamsTrains]

Yeah that's right - and spot on, I didn't realise that was an Ivatt at the time - so you get bonus points there! And correct again - yeah I can't tell any difference between the Ivatt class 2 and the Br standard! All the best, Sam :)

[@GWR-fd1up]

You probably know now but the difference between Std class 2s and Ivatt class 2s (apart from the latter pre dating the newer BR that replaced it) is that on the standard 2 the cab at the top slopes inwards and the tender is different. Also the number prefix is 78xxx rather than 46xxx which is for the ivatt 2.

[@muneemsfavourites7255]

Anyway trainspotting time i saw: your br standard class 7 Oliver Cromwell, your br standard 2, your br standard class 8 duke of Gloucester, your standard class 3mt, your standard class. your Bachmann ex lner b1.Now the Complete non standard loco was the Thompson b1 (haha see the link ;) The locomotives that aren't technically standard as such was the br 2mt and the duke of Gloucester.Now the reason of the class 8 not being standard is because of the extensive modifications that were needed done order to improve the loco's terrible coal efficiency and other problems.Loved the vid SamAnd CONGARTS 7000 SUBS well done you deserve it.

[@SamsTrains]

Very well done mate! And yes - the B1 was the non-standard, and arguably the Ivatt class 2 as well! Very good point about the class 8 though - though I think it's still reasonable to call it a standard, for the sake of argument! Thanks a lot mate - I'm really happy to have gotten here!! :D All the best, Sam :)

[@rynodynomyte2755]

Beautiful model! I think the Standard 5s are awesome! Did you hear the news: The Great Central Railway finally restored 73156, so now all 5 preserved examples have been restored!

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks Ryno! Oh that's good to hear- I'll have to pop down and see her! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@muneemsfavourites7255]

Loved the vid Sam just wanted to say.It is a common mistake but the standard class 5's did have a similar boiler design and wheel arrangement nut that's were the similarities end with the lms 5'sYou were correct with the br mod cons and different running plate but:Parts of the valve gear were Gresley designed they had wheels the size of a Thompson b1they had a Britannia chime whistle etc.Anyway sorry for my rant loved the vid :)

[@SamsTrains]

Ahh okay mate! Thanks a lot for the info - duly noted! I suppose it's because they just look so similar! No problem at all - glad you enjoyed it anyway! Cheers, Sam :)

[@Loco-uh6hp]

Nice job, definitely one of my favourite 4-6-0s.

[@miscellaneous.7127]

8:09 The Standard 4s were 4-6-0s. I think that is most probably an Ivatt 4MT :)

Yeah you're absolutely right, it is - my mistke!

[@whiteroseBR]

There were also standard 4mt moguld

[@lesliedickinson198]

A great video Sam, it's a lovely loco and I've just received mine off ebay and I'm very happy with it. Mine is in green and numbered 73014 it's a stunner and takes me back 50 yrs since I saw it 'in the skin' at Bolton MPD

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks so much Leslie, glad you managed to get the green one - I think those are much nicer than that black - and I managed to pick one up at a fair a few weeks back too! Thanks again for your comment mate, Sam :)

[@robkleinherenbrink5690]

weathered one for me and it cheaper thn what u payed still a great loco make a nice add to your fleet i wish they was more br classes of locos in steam out there top vid

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks Adi! Sounds like you got an awesome bargain there - though I'm rather have them pristine than weathered! All the best mate, Sam :)

[@AdiPullen]

am going off weathered ones but it nice to have a few in my collection

[@DellaKitty50]

Thank you for making this review, I was hoping to get one myself as Hornby's Black 5 is... underwhelming and their 5MT is well... yeah.

[@SamsTrains]

No problem! Yeah the railroad one isn't great - and it's hard to get hold of any other version really! Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@johncarvil498]

Hi Sam, once again a great review, and a lovely loco.Cheers John.

[@SamsTrains]

Hi John, thanks very much - that's very kind of you mate, All the best, Sam :)

[@trainsontuesday]

Now that's a loco I could get excited about. Perfect match with the coaches except as a class 5 it would (I think) be unusual to have a restaurant coach in the train. Great variation on Bullmans entrance. Rating was good but you didn't notice or mention the excessive air space between the loco and tender. They should be able to do better there. All in all very good. Thanks Sam. ....David.

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks David! Really glad she got you excited - she did me too ;) That's very true - the gap is a little large, though there is the option to move it slightly closer, if you have more gentle layout curves - maybe it'll suit 3rd radius on the shorter setting? I'll have to try. All the best, Sam :)

[@dylanlynch9859]

I think there's an Ivatt Class 2, which wouldn't be a B.R. Standard,. Is the Standard 3 Tank the one some people don't consider a Standard?

[@SamsTrains]

Yeah you're right - I snook the Ivatt in, but it's almost identical to the standard 2! It may well be - I'm not too sure about that! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@mercury7590]

I’ve always found the Standard 5 to be the best of the Standard series. Between their looks and performance, they really are something. And don’t get me started on how they *bark!* All in all, an amazing engine only beaten by the Duke Of Gloucester.

[@SamsTrains]

I agree - they're pretty decent as far as standards go aren't they?! Yes the class 8 is superb too! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@Oskar-js6iv]

I do enjoy myself some 5mt's! Really good loco and a good review!!

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks Oskar, that's great to hear! All the best mate, Sam :)

[@victorywoo]

Hey there Henry! Looking a little different today, but love you anyways :) How the locos move just makes my heart boil... It's just beautiful! Cannot be described on words... Maybe because the 9F and 5mt look so familiar to me(thanks to Thomas.)

[@SamsTrains]

haha! It does look like Henry - but he was actually a black 5, but these were similar to the black 5s! But yeah, me too - these just move amazingly, it's that Walshertz valve gear that gets me!! Cheers mate, Sam :)

[@akshay7439]

Very interesting history of the loco. Very good review!

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks very much - really glad you liked it! All the best, Sam :)

[@kathryncampbell9564]

Nice Video also The Standerd Class 5MT looks like the Hornby Henry.

[@SamsTrains]

Thanks a lot! Yeah that's right - Henry was based on the black 5, so the Hornby black 5 should be almost identical to him! All the best, Sam :)

[@mcollier4566]

My guess for the non-standard standard type loco was the unique BR Pacific 71000 Duke of Gloucester which did appear... with the LNER B1 being the odd one out. However there were 2 other LMR Ivatt designs which appeared, locos which were not standards but on which standard designs were based, they were the Ivatt 4MT 2-6-0 on the centre road and Ivatt 2MT 2-6-0 on a siding.

[@SamsTrains]

Very well spotted on those! Thanks a lot for taking part, Cheers, Sam :)

[@donsharpe5786]

The BR5 had a slightly larger boiler with more tubes allowing slightly quicker steam. I like the Auroc on the low loader in front of the 2-10-0

[@SamsTrains]

Duly noted Don, thanks a lot for the extra info on this! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@Absolut531kmh]

The 9F have one of the longest train rods ever in steam loco history...

[@steelandsoot2095]

yes I've been waiting for ages for this also half an hour ago a hornby jinty arrived in the mail but it can only go forwards my layout is dc but the jinty is dc should I take out the chip?

[@SamsTrains]

Hi mate - sorry to keep you waiting on it, haha! Yeah I'd remove the chip - I had the same issue when I bought my first DCC loco by mistake, and tried to run it on DC! If you don't want the chip, you can sell them for £10-£15 on Ebay, which should make you some money back on the model! All the best, Sam :)

[@spadesofpaintstudios1719]

[@schuey2113]

The standard you were saying wasn't technically a standard is the standard 4MTT sitting with the freight in the row of sidings at 12:01

[@SamsTrains]

Yeah - that class 4 was actually the Ivatt - that was my mistake! The one in the siding was a standard though - it was the Standard class 3 tank, by Tri-ang! All the best, Sam :)

Nice vid mate! A good rule is that if it has the injector hump between the chimney and the dome, it is late LMS, not a Standard. :) I will deduct 1 point on this video because the Ivatt 4 wasn't a standard. ;)

Hi Sam. I really enjoy watching you've videos I have learnt loads especially the service one's. I bought this model recently second hand from ebay but it doesn't run!! I have directly powered the motor and it runs fine. I have power going to the circuit board from the pickups but no power coming out of the circuit board to the motor. Have you ever known the circuit board to fail and if so were would I get one from or am I missing something simple here? Looking forward to hearing from you. Peter

[@lindsaywood1101]

Hi Sam. Interesting review. Nice slow running I agree. Just one question have you checked why the running plate is bent? Is it a just a poor fit on the chassis or is there something more insidious going on (Mazak rot)?

Thanks a lot for that! Yes I'm not certain of that - I will have to investigate! Thanks for watching - Sam :)

[@phil69881]

Lovely loco. I do like the Std loco range, even if they're "a bit boring" (to some), however I'd prefer the B1 over the Std 5....unless the Std 5 was in BR lined green (like a few of them were/are), with 4,250gal BR1/BR1H tenders...or even the monstrous 5,625gal BR1F tender!

What upsets me is the way the firebox foundation extends far beyond the frame instead of being flush with it at the top. It’s a conspicuous error! The Bachmann 4MT 4-6-0 has the same fault

[@SamsTrains]

Yeah it's noticeable - and consistent across quite a few locos! There's really no need for it! Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@stephensmith799]

@@SamsTrains Thanks for replying👍 I have been wondering if that overhang exists in order to fit in the motor or a fly wheel. If the space is clear, then it would be possible to pare away the overhang and replace it with plasticard cut and bent to the right profile. I do like the 5MTs but in the meantime I’m waiting for Hornby or Heljan to do a more accurate one in this respect. Otherwise the Bachmann 5MT is every bit as good as you say it is!

[@DidgeAvi]

The odd one out is the Ivatt 2MT as well as the B1 since they were built at the tail end of the L.n.e.r. Bit weird to see a Br design built in Doncastor instead of Crewe or Swindon Works Cheers Avi

Hi Sam, is it just me or does the running plate look warped slightly, on that model it looks like it is very slightly 'arched or distorted', and when you look at pics of the original locos it appears straight. steam.trainguy.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/BR-Standard-Class-5-2-6-0.jpg photos.smugmug.com/Trains-Railways-British-Isles/WD-and-Standard-locomotives/BR-Standard-4-6-0s/i-bZHbMmT/1/XL/Std_BR_73003_Peterborough_SB_16-9-51_GWRA110209-XL.jpg May be its my old eyes playing ticks, but it doesn't detract too much from a fine model. Odd ones out? is that an Ivatt 2MT hiding in a siding? Technically an LMS design, although the design was continued as a BR standard. And of course the Thompson B1, LNER design but built in large numbers by BR Great vid as always, and love the sleezy late night sax on the sound track. Have a steamingly great week. Jon

Hi Jon, I never noticed that before - but looking at it, you are right - it does look slightly warped! The running board is a separate piece from the boiler - there's even a visible gap between the two - maybe lack of support causes the warping? Just a thought! Yes, that's right on both counts - the B1 and Ivatt's class 2! Really glad you liked the video, and the music, haha! You too mate, Sam :)

[@stashyjon]

May be it was why that one was a bit cheaper.

Hello

[@SamsTrains]

Hello! :D

[@jurgenonstenk]

did anybody els notice that the power ranking of 5 mt above the number is missing, realy same when you realise that even some railroad models have that. still a great model i wish i had.

[@SamsTrains]

Hmmm yeah that is an odd one - it's very unlike Bachmann to miss something like that! Thanks for watching anyway, and glad you liked her! Cheers, Sam :)

[@TomPrickVixen]

Strange, i don't any reason why the tender is so far from the loco. For me it looks it has the space to be as close as it supposed to, without limiting the minimum turn radius of the engine.

[@SamsTrains]

Yeah - it is strange! There are two settings though - one is closer! Normally the closer setting is no good for second/third radius curves, but I might try it, since they look so far apart! All the best, Sam :)

[@ConnorLowreyTransport]

What do you make of the Bachmann 56xx?

[@SamsTrains]

Yeah they're quite nice actually - decent runners too! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)

[@apinchofsalt-7598]

I do like Bachman locomotives but I can only find one with out the knuckle coupling

[@SamsTrains]

Ahh yeah that's a pain - they come with NEM pockets though - so you could probably just exchange them for a knuckle coupling?

[@apinchofsalt-7598]

Yes true but The sad thing is the ones passed down to me from my parents are the couplings before the model railroad companies used knuckle couplings. So I am now stuck with the Hornby couplings, knuckle couplings, and the couplings before the knuckle couplings.

[@morganmorris4285]

you should review/unbox the smokey joe!! :)

[@SamsTrains]

That'd be cool! I don't have one yet - but it's a real classic, so maybe I should! All the best, Sam :)

[@morganmorris4285]

Sam'sTrains okay :D also can you say I came up with the idea please? :)

15:14 The B1 isn't a Standard

[@SamsTrains]

Yep - that's the one! :D

[@SamsTrains]

Ah okay! Thanks mate - my bad eyes again ;) Cheers, Sam :)

[@renz1013]

have u tried puting a train on a flatbed thing.

[@SamsTrains]

Yeah I have - but it has to be a light one, otherwise it's just too unstable! All the best, Sam :)

[@originalsgame9918]

have you rode on the flying Scotsman

[@SamsTrains]

No, I never have sadly - the only time I ever saw it, it was in pieces, haha! All the best, Sam :)

[@miscellaneous.7127]

I think that the 5MTs were just black 5s without charm! ;)

[@SamsTrains]

haha! I might have to agree with you there actually ;)

[@LNER985]

In my opinion the BR standard 5MTs have charm.

[@SamsTrains]

Yeah that's true - I do think Stanier's black 5 had more charm though!
