I recently bought a cheap and fairly old second-hand Bachmann class 108 at a show. It still looks as good as current Bachmann models in my opinion. I agree with you about the internal lights! I replaced them with lengths of 12v self-adhesive LED strip - connected via 4k resistors and now the light is brighter and more even. The trouble is that you need a decoder in both cars for DCC operation.
Sam'sTrains I want to ask u something wut is ur favorite trains from American or British and that look like a cool train and the trains i like where u can fully see the wheels and the rod helping the train move
Yes, they are 'No Smoking' signs which also show the penalty... '20 quid'... and at the bottom of them in micro print... 'Printed in China'! The pipework on the end of the driving trailer should be associated with the water filling pipes for the lavatory. Thanks Sam.
I have one of these! Earlier today, I noticed that the inner couplings were the same type as the El Cheapo £10 wagons... so now, I can't resist running those in the middle of my Class 108. It looks completely ridiculous, and it's enough to make any rivet-counter cry in despair, but it's all in good fun!
Hi Sam. Thanks for another well-produced and informative video. I have the class 108 in green with half yellow panels and paid about what you did. I've noticed that the new rrp is now over £200 - very disappointing. This class was the mainstay of passenger services on my local railway in the 1960's and 1970's. I only ever saw them in 2-car pairs although they were run in multiple for additional capacity. As well as 2-car units, 4-car units (i.e. 2 x 2-car) were also very common. 6-cars were less common but by no means rare and I recall seeing at least one example of an 8-car formation!
Agreed, I only ever remember seeing two car 108 formations unless several two car sets where coupled up in service with a final destination as the local depot for service the next day.
Hi Sam, what a great series of videos these diesels have been. I haven't commented on the others as I have been run off my feet , but all of them have been great. I'm also a steam fan as you know but it has been refreshing to see something different. Keep them coming coming Sam, always looking forward to the next video! Great to see my photo of my Garrett up as well! Thanks.
No problem Jose, really glad you've enjoyed them anyway mate... I'm a big steam fan too, but I have enjoyed this for a change! Thanks again for your lovely words, Sam :)
The window stickers are definitely 'No Smoking' stickers. This was before the days of the blanket smoking ban of course; however even back then there was a no smoking policy on the train, aside from the carriage/area dedicated to smokers.
Metro Trains were the by name for the West Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive's railway services. Being a Dewsbury lad I used to see that logo (and the class 108's as well!) nearly every day.
The red circular stickers in the passenger windows are no smoking signs for those specific seats. I remember the real thing and people used to peel them off leaving a mess behind.
Sam, thankyou for yet another informative and enjoyable video. I have just bought one of these, green with speed whiskers. It is wonderfully quiet at any speed... quiet enough to hear the wheels o the track joints and points. Mine sails up a 1 in 36 grade and its performance has always been excellent. Once again thank you for the great work.
Great video mate :) lovely loco today!! That HST really was going quick wasn't it?! You know I think that the voyager might have been the odd one out? Haha -all the best mate
I’ve recently acquired a Class 101, it was my first diesel, and I love it. I was impressed with the interior lights/exterior lights. Thanks for the video Sam!
The eyesore is that virgin liveried HST. Like DMUs and shunters 04/08, but not stinky diesels. The little red symbols on the DMU windows tell us that smoking cigarettes of any kind is prohibited. So they say "NO SMOKING". The pipes on the dummy car are water-feed pipes. The driver will water the carriages well before moving off. It's the same with sets of Mk 1 coaches. This ensures all toilet cubicles on the train are in good working order, and that we can wash our hands afterwards. This is done regularly on all preserved railways, including the Llangollen Railway. It's better than being caught short.
I have a request for you mate: After diesel month, can you please do a 4-4-0 running session? I personally like the D16s, but Hornby recently stop producing them. Not sure why, they're good locos. Anyways, thanks a lot mate for making this! I do enjoy DMUs a lot! :) Cheers, Tyson'sTrains (CONGRATS on 11,200 subscribers mate! Reach toward your goals and never give up! :D)
Hi mate! Thanks a lot for that idea - yeah I'd love to do that one day, I almost certainly will do!! :D Thanks a lot for that too - I'll try not to, hehe! Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Great review Sam, i have 2 original release 108s from 2007 a 3car & 2 car they cost a staggering £50ish from hattons back then. 😊 When the 108s were in service the 2 car sets mainly ran in pull -push mode with one diesel power car and a none powered driving car. I carnt believe the rrp now 😊 many thanks 👍
Sams Trains i have been on Class 108 DMU And Class 104 DMU in the 1980s, on the Railway from Warrington to Hunts Cross and Liverpool, the Class 108 was still going on the line until late 1992
Yes it was very good actually! Also went to the National Railway Museum and saw lots of different engines (Too many to name), annoyingly the Deltic and The Flying Scotsman were outside! i saw the scotsmans tender and the Deltic through the window
The stickers on the windows are probably just no smoking signs.I know you said that the of one out stuck out like a sore thumb, but I didn't think it had the same colour.We should have a special at the end of the month with combinations of the powered 125s with each other and the dummy and record the highest scale speed lol.
Yeah I think you're right- someone else said the same! haha that'd be awesome actually... it'd be fun to calculate their scale speeds! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)
The engine is on the power loco it's the part that connects to the brown pipe. The lights are set up like the real thing kind of an yellow glow. Hope that helps 👍
Hi Ian, thanks for that yes that does help! I assumed the interior lights would be designed to light the compartments in the dark, which they don't :/ Thanks for the comment mate, Sam :)
Hi mate! You're right, it's far too expensive from Hornby - look at Rails of Sheffield or Hattons... Ebay is the best for second hand stuff though, (or new, if you look!) Cheers mate, Sam :)
Hey sam Question? Would you like to look at HATTONS or buy your cheap (preferably loco under 70 euro) find locos for beginners And do you have some tips I have to have for my model track as I do not know how to start Dear greetings JcoreGames Ooh yes, look for diesel trains diesel trains
Hi Sam, how about a future video where you run 6 of your most damaged, run down old engines. Tell us where you got them, how old they are and why they're not running so well. I think it could make for a interesting video.
haha that's a cool idea! I have do admit that I don't have that many that are badly run down, I might struggle to find 6 even... I'll look though! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Ah, back from holiday! Loads of your videos to catch up on lol!! I don't really have diesels or electrics on my layout as they're not really my interest in terms of models (ironic, really, given my profile picture!) yet I do like them in real lol. Very nice video as always :) Lukas.
Welcome back mate, did you have a good time?? :D That's fair enough mate, they're not too much mine either I suppose - glad you enjoyed the video anyway, Cheers, Sam :)
I think it looks to have good interior detail. Regarding the lights in the passenger compartments, the lights in my Bachmann coaches are not that bright either, maybe it is a Bachmann thing. That 125 would give the Japanese Bullet train a run for its money!
Thanks Ian, yes the interior was very impressive on these! Yeah my derby lightweight is pretty much the same too - very odd! haha yeah it would actually! ;D All the best, Sam :)
Arry and Bert were the first Bachmann engines you showed this month! 3:53 I noticed the back coupler on each unit is a continential European NEM coupler! 13:34 heve you ever ran the Burlington Northern diesel in the drawer next to the pacer?
Ooh yeah of course! I had forgotten about those! D: Yeah it is - it's strange that they do it that way! Yeah I've reviewed it I think... long time ago though ;D Thanks for watching, Sam :)
the lil signs on the window would of been the no smoking part, would of been common back in the 70's and 80's but by the 90's every window had one just to say stop smoking
It's been nice to see more deisel engines on your channel and on railways. I see a lot of EMUs now days, but not as many DMUs or other diesels or steams. But I went to the nene Valley railway today and went on a passenger train pulled by a class 14. Speaking of which- are you gonna review a class 14? I think they're beautiful.
Thanks for the comment mate - yeah that's the way things have gone these days I suppose! I don't have a 14, but they are gorgeous, so I'll look into getting one! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Did I see a Union Pacific and Burlington Northern Unit in one of the drawers? If so is there a video on these units!?!? Would be epic to see some american stuff for diesel month if not :D
those little signs in the windows are the no smoking signs :) if I am correct these units you could add extra coaches if I am correct to make them longer, haha we want to cook everyone on the train ;) I loked up just in time haha MR Bullman never goes away haha by any chance is it the voyager that stand out haha :) the virgin 5 coach one, I don't want diesel month to end I love it :(
Okay mate thanks for that - your eyes are better than mine! That does sound possible - I'll look and see if I can maybe get any more for it! haha yes... possibly the voyager was the odd one out, lol! ;D Glad you've enjoyed it mate.... still a bit more to come yet! :D All the best, Sam :)
haha not better buddy just the persevered line near me has a unit similar I cant remember what it is but it all so has those no smoking signs :) and yay haha I cant wait
Hello Sam! Just to let you know you have inspired me to make a 2nd channel all about trains and locos. It will be called "Sam's railway". There is a Sams railway that I've already made but I'm scrapping that one
Hello Sam, I have a question regarding the Class 108. The coupling in the dummy car connecting it to the motor car came off and I lost it. Can you tell me what coupling I should get to replace it? Thanks!
Great dmu looks great I blue and grey Odd one out is the virgin voyager Have you heard a HST engine at speed it sounds amazing especially when the turbocharger kicks in
Nice model there Sam, I've had my bones shaken in many a 108 over the years. The little stickers in the windows are to denote either the smoking or nonsmoking compartments, can't remember which. And I think the pipe work on the roof is something to do with the air brakes, but I may be wrong. Have a great week mate Jon
Thanks a lot Jon... have you really?? I don't know whether I've ridden one or not... possibly at a heritage railway... are they rough to ride in then? Thanks for the info on that too mate, much appreciated! Cheers, Sam :)
I think its more to with fact they were getting on a bit, and some of the track wasnt 100% to be honest, but by the mid to late 80s all the first gen dmu's were a bit rough to ride in
This is not the 1st rail car u have I see, with the standard EU coupling between the units, and I can't understand why they use that after all its not a close-coupling type or anything. Any idea why? Anyway I'm not sure witch is my fastest train/loco i have, haven't raced them since i past the 25 loco number, and back then my fastest loco was the rebuilt DR class 01/5 express loco, but I have more modern locos since than including streamlined steamers and some electric locos too.
No not the first - the Lightweight has those too... I know, it's really odd... though they are NEMS, so you could swap them if you wanted, but no - no idea why, lol! Aawesome! Thanks for the comment mate, Sam :)
was the odd one out the voyager because it's in red not in be blue and grey also I have an 108 it's a 3 car set in br blue with yellow ends the light are good it's middielbourgh and Newcastle
Chris Atha thanks, I've looked it up but the coaches look practically the same. It might be that or... PPPPPPPPEEEEEENNNNNNDDDDDDOOOOOLLLLLLLIIIIINNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmm, yeah that's a good point actually mate!
All the best,
Sam :)
i love it i like dmus and railcars
Thanks mate, that's good to hear - lots of them are really lovely!
All the best,
Sam :)
yes mate :D
yes they are
Nice model there Sam, I've had my bones shaken in many a 108 over the years. The little stickers in the windows are to denote either the smoking or nonsmoking compartments, can't remember which. And I think the pipe work on the roof is something to do with the air brakes, but I may be wrong.
Have a great week mate
Jon
Thanks a lot Jon... have you really?? I don't know whether I've ridden one or not... possibly at a heritage railway... are they rough to ride in then?
Thanks for the info on that too mate, much appreciated!
Cheers,
Sam :)
I think its more to with fact they were getting on a bit, and some of the track wasnt 100% to be honest, but by the mid to late 80s all the first gen dmu's were a bit rough to ride in
This is not the 1st rail car u have I see, with the standard EU coupling between the units, and I can't understand why they use that after all its not a close-coupling type or anything. Any idea why? Anyway I'm not sure witch is my fastest train/loco i have, haven't raced them since i past the 25 loco number, and back then my fastest loco was the rebuilt DR class 01/5 express loco, but I have more modern locos since than including streamlined steamers and some electric locos too.
No not the first - the Lightweight has those too... I know, it's really odd... though they are NEMS, so you could swap them if you wanted, but no - no idea why, lol!
Aawesome! Thanks for the comment mate,
Sam :)
Can I ask how you uncouple just that I find the bachmann dmu coupling fiddly and don't want to break them
I lift them off the track, and bend them upwards and away from eachother - it works well! :D
Thanks for watching - Sam :)
that hst has got some speed on it
Yeah it does! It did well not to derail actually!
All the best,
Sam :)
Sam can you make a train using all your dmu's to make a long one
Ooh that's a nice idea - I should try connecting more together! :D
Thanks for watching,
Sam :)
Good video Sam. But me and my son have noticed your crane how did you make that?
Hi Steven, thanks for the comment mate - if you search some of my older videos, you can find exactly how I made the crane!
Thanks for watching,

Hi sam mark here how many controllers do you have to run your model railway and have done a review on your controllers
Hi Mark, I normally just run two HM2000 controllers, but I also have a Hornby E-link for DCC running!
