Thanks for the great informative video on a really nice model! These UK OO models are really a million times better than what I remember as a kid in the seventies. I've been in the model railway hobby a long time, and the quality on offer today truly surpasses anything that may have gone before! Well done!
Great review. The best way to tell the cabs apart is the WIPAC lights. The original cab has the lights low, near the "buffer beam", and the new cab has the lights about half way up the yellow front panel. Andrew
Yes Will I do want one of these! Really good review & I don't have one of these. Could you please recommend on how many cars one would run with this? Thank you, cheers, John.
for your info will, 153333 went from CT to London Midland. and has been on loan now to First Great Western for roughly two year now, and has recently been brought buy FGW and is still running in London Mid- livery as she hasnt been repainted to FGW along with 153325 which is running in london mid-
I got one not realising it was dcc fitted, not dcc ready. I therefore need to take the chip out, but soon i plan to get my layout dcc before may 2015. Could you do a vid on REMOVING a chip please?
This review was...riveting ;) I too get these a lot to Derby, from Longton or Stoke. I love the sound they make but they're so loud if you sit in the wrong place!
Hi will been wondering of getting a arriva Wales 153 by hornby or the 158 by bachmann when I get my layout running Which one would you recommend more 153 or 158
OK Will thanks....I do understand but I do like to have at least a dummy car....making a minimum of a 2 car set set. I'll check things out on this. Best as always, cheers, John.
reading up on the loco itself and the destination blinds say Walsall - Wolverhampton (my local route but it goes now via Birmingham New St) where it was a direct route and only took 10 mins but the route got took off in 2008.
This class 153 is down here in Cornwall i think,I see it going over the viaduct on a regular basis, Some times with a FGW 153 or a FGW 150.Just a bit of general knowledge I don't mind being your assistant ;) Haha! Nice Review Once Again Will
153333 is actually with First group now with a vinyl sticker over it stating: "Visit south Devon by train". I actually got on 153333 to get down to Dawlish
Im getting a second one but I dont know which one out of East Midlands, Northern Rails, Central Trains, greater Anglian or London Midland can you help me I need to choose and soon!
Well done, you have successfully added another loco to my to by list :3 One minor thing, you realy need to get a bachmann dynamis. It a million times better than the hornby controllers!
Are you getting the new Class 153 from Hornby Greater Anglian livery or not I think I might very soon I got already a class 153 Arriva Northern Rail Trains but might get another soon.
I have a feeling the front bit is attached to the bogey to soon it from snapping against the rail. The front grill on my oo class 67 came off a couple of days ago. :/. She is my fav train

I am getting this to do the final tests on the layout. I had one from a mate for a bit I agree its FANTASTIC
it's an ongoing joke about the paper always looking like it's been shredded by a cat
The thing I like about these models is you can pick them up for a bargain and they're so easy to DCC!
yeah they're really good. Really good models. Bachmann hardcore fanboys must hate them.

Hornby's 153's are made to impress. Good video :)

lol okay?? I'll do my best to keep the vids coming!
I am not sure if I should get the class 153 or 150 what do you think?
I have a Class 150/2 in Arrive Trans Wales and it's really cool :) Would definitely recommend it.
This class 153 is down here in Cornwall i think,I see it going over the viaduct on a regular basis, Some times with a FGW 153 or a FGW 150.Just a bit of general knowledge I don't mind being your assistant ;) Haha! Nice Review Once Again Will
Hornby have discontinued them. Any idea where I can get one?
Amazing vid once again
thanks for the comment and info!
153333 is actually with First group now with a vinyl sticker over it stating: "Visit south Devon by train". I actually got on 153333 to get down to Dawlish
Yeah I've seen it on the railcams there in Dawlish
Yeah, I saw it and filmed it in person twice when I went recently in August.
Great vid will totally agree with what you say also how do you get the body off them the instructions arnt much help so please can you tell me?
you should get the first great western livery class 153
He certainly should, it's awesome, and it's destination blinds are of my local route!
He has like three already, I dont think more is needed ;)
great review i need a class 153
East midlands, in my opinion, is the best one. The livery is the nice stagecoach modern livery. It's just so nice!
I like the Class 08 brigade on the siding.
What is the little piece of rail for in the middle of the track at 8:30 into the video please?
Lee Hurst that is a part of the express point.
Im getting a second one but I dont know which one out of East Midlands, Northern Rails, Central Trains, greater Anglian or London Midland can you help me I need to choose and soon!

YAY! the 153 again!, IT's my favorite UK DMU.
haha lol yeah I had been watching that just before!
the original was missing about 3 mins of footage
Great video well done. 'Ive got one its the london midland. I have had no problem with it what so ever. It is a good train.
they're great just on their own John! Honestly.
Does super detail mean premieum?
Are you getting the new Class 153 from Hornby Greater Anglian livery or not I think I might very soon I got already a class 153 Arriva Northern Rail Trains but might get another soon.
haha lol Hornby are producing some good models now not just the budget ones
what do u think? ;)
I'll do a video on how to chip them, as I want another in RR or Arriva.
Where did u get that train from also do they do first great western
+lewis williams They do now.
The drivers cab on this train is usually called a dog box
thanks for the info!
R u going to get sound chips for your trains
What year are those Air Maxes @ 11:48?
Why is there a piece of rail in the middle of the track at the points where he first puts it on the track
I will NEVER get a cat. Trust me. And the LMS Garratt is on the must-have list!
I just know when you open the Bachmann 108 you'll love it, she's a beauty for £69 :)
thanks matey!
You haven't yet got one? Jaike? What are you playing at? lol
When are you bringing out series 4!?
Amazing!
Is there going to be a class 60 in series 4.
Class 153 should definitely have 2 coaches in my opinion
When did u origanally buy this loco?
lol you comment more on the trainers than the trains! They are Nike BWs I got in 2008 I think.
thanks for the comment! It is just 153s tho - save apostrophes! :P
no no no - it'll be a top of the range Gaugemaster.
I have a feeling the front bit is attached to the bogey to soon it from snapping against the rail. The front grill on my oo class 67 came off a couple of days ago. :/. She is my fav train
Why re-uploaded? I didn't see anything wrong with the other one? Still had to watch it all the way though though. :)
I do need a 153 in Arriva actually.
I treated myself to one of these for my 16th Birthday
I've ordered the class 153 in central trains
And I've just ordered a class 158 in central trains
I've driven one of these (virtually)
Would of liked to see you open it up more
some will be given sound - but I'm not going overboard with it.
Ill be an assistant! Best job EVER
Can you do a project fitting dcc sound
Did u repaint your 08s
At 14:35 :Thats a very nice 153 you have there...
I have a arriva one and livery is very detailed
saw one on mid cheshire line coupple weeks ago
Where do I apply?
that creeper shows up REAL soon!
@Robert Howarth
There's some of them in Arriva Trains Wales livery
Isn't that where the snow plough should be so it could clear the track
check the IC82 database for that info
lewis thompson: awesome train I have it in northern rail livery
Got two!
yeah keep an eye on that creeper, it appears again soon!
the buzzers mainly known as "ding ding & away
You can turn a 155 into a 153. That's like turning 12 before 11!
"What have we got tonight" that IS what she said lol
You should get the arriva trains wales one and the you can consist the two together to make it a 3 car dmu
Can you review a class 323
How to Control this
lol thanks for the comment
lol yeah but you have plenty of time to get one!
i thought i saw a red light on the unit at 4:31 i have seen this on other trains and its weird
You sounded like Rob Bryan at 1:35 when he was on Gavin and Stacie.
Great review though
Class 153/3 was in central train not now in London midlands in one cart
Do a vid about the greater Anglia DMU 153
lol I have to say thanks somehow!
the driver and the conductor still use buzzers now
haha! and trainers!
Frist vid is this Friday
Epic train i love the colour i would love to get one of those. But that would be too expensive for me coz im only 14 oh well
do a video with the creeper riding the 153 LOL
i through you had 2of them which would look nice if the other one was going the other way lol.
