Another great review Sam. The photography for the ‘up-close’ views was absolutely superb; most people wouldn’t look at their models that closely. It really showed off the paintwork on the 08 as outstanding. Those brass fragments - seems like the worm gear is grinding itself away? Implies a meshing issue. Fundamental flaw; send it back. One small idea - there is a gadget that measures the speed of model locomotives - it sits by the trackside and has a couple of IR LEDs in reflective beams and can give a speed readout in scale mph. When reviewing you could see how closely the model scale speeds reflect the prototype. Accurascale claim to gear their models to represent scale speeds, be interesting to check those and see if other makers are anywhere near realistic.

If you are interested in Hornby, the inside of locomotive is very clean. Even looks clean from Heljan. Surely the factory have not control their quality of environment and also Bachmann's QC have not done a right thing.

It’s a very old model now. But when it came out it was an incredible model. Still a good model if you can get it at good price and still a better model than Hornby 08 when price is put in. I think that’s why Bachmann have never retooled it because a new one would be around the same or more than the Hornby and the boot would be on the other foot.

A stay alive is a very small electronic capacitor which stores energy for the loco to call upon if there is a loss of power, for example dirty track, crossing points etc. they normally give the loco about 10-20 seconds of power in the event the loco loses the current from the track 👍

Sam, the only 8 pin decoder I could find to fit was by Gaugemaster, I know you're not old enough to remember the old Toton hump shunts, or Colwick marshalling yard, but the 08 would regularly shunt 50+ loaded wagons about! At Toton they would push the same up a slight gradient and the wagons would go down a 1 in 16 slope at the down hump and 1in 20 at the up hump. Obviously the loco wouldn't go up or down the hump. Great review Sam.

Look closely at the coupling rods. They must be loose on the rear end, as they're not perfectly straight like they should be. In any case, the 08 shunter is nice and useful. Just not keen on the livery, I prefer BR Blue.

I noticed that; looks pretty poor I would say, not helped by the coupling rods being so visible picked out in yellow! Looks like only one axle is driven by the motor, the other wheel sets are driven through the coupling rods. That's not a good arrangement if you need that much slack in the coupling rods to allow for imperfect quartering/machining. With that much slack on the coupling rods you would really want all gear sets coupled primarily via low slack accurately machined gearing, with the coupling rods being more cosmetic rather than actually used for transmitting the motion.

The NS version was a smaller wheeled earlier version of the 08. It was closer to the numerous British Railways 11 class. Other countries also had versions of the 11 class like the Victorian Railways of Australia with their F class shunters. Searching for the Wikipedia on British Rail 11 class has much more detail on the export models of the 11 class. Roco made models of the NS and VR versions of these locomotives in HO scale.

You know, Sam, the officially well-known B R class,O8 diesel-electric shunting locomotives certainly were very shockingly surprisingly obviously the official inspiration for several of diesels on the Island of Sodor's North Western Railway starting with Devious Diesel himself! Plus, over 950 of 'em were built in exactly 5 different B R workshops with an official,O-6-O wheel configuration as well as the official electric transmission as well as an official English Electric 6KT diesel motor that officially produces 350 horsepower as well as a specifically wonderfully officially official well-known 20 MPH top speed!

Fantastic review Sam! I have the freightliner orange version of this and love it. A couple of things - the metal shavings aren't an issue in mine, so likely an isolated issue. Also, the loco can't fit a bachmann 8 pin decoder! I picked up a rake of 3 Dapol HIA wagons today for £26 each, they're fantastic! I highly recommend them to you!

Initially I was going to point out the possibility that the missing weight is to make space for a speaker in the engine, but after looking at the inside (and yes, all those shavings were quite surprising) and the 8 pin decoder socket, could it be the chassis metal is a different alloy (ie. cheaper) hence the lighter weight? As usual great review.

Hi Sam. I’m not sure if you take requests on what to review next when there’s no new models to cover, but if you do, then I would suggest sometime reviewing the Heljan GWR 47xx 2-8-0. I wanna see if I can get one, but I don’t know if it’s worth it as if I do get it, it would be the first train model I’ve bought, whether it’s new or used(I’m entering the hobby, very slow start but oh well). I know that Heljan hasn’t made them in a while, so I understand if that’s not possible. And if you don’t take requests, then I apologize for not being aware. Either way, keep up the videos, man.

I would've thought this was ex-FGW blue, as HNRC has a bright orange livery (as per the 20/3), or a paler orange and light grey (as per the 07) . I have an even older bachmann 08 in BR blue, having a small PCB instead of the slightly later version with the 8-pin socket. I prefer my hornby 08, a newer tooling than the bachmann one but still getting old and still no lights. The hornby 08 is more powerful and quieter, and more reliable with wiper pickups to the wheel backs. But frankly, for the price hornby are charging, I expect cab and directional/shunting lights, a built in stay-alive, the current standard for DCC (so next18 in this case), and a pre-installed speaker at a minimum.

Also this loco has no extra functions what so ever so an 8-pin socket is more than enough, I simply can't understand why people even want anything more that it needs to be in there, its not gonna benefit from a "plux" or "next" decoder!

I have a fleet of 08/09 diesels, mix of Hornby and Bachmann. The worst runner is a Bachmann; the best runner is a Bachmann. No consistency between any of them. The Hornby model is a generation ahead on detail, however. No layout should be without one (or 10, in my case). It would be great if Accurascale did a new tooled version, it would fit nicely into their English Electric series of models.

B/c with most of our Model Locos - we don't have or get supplied Fireman / Drivers with the Locos - unless we nip down to our Loco Model shop to buy our own Crew - but who really does that theses days??? 🤔🚂🚂🚂

Poor bullman got left behind…! And was that a sneaky steam sentinel masquerading as a diesel shunter?

Hey Sam, I think you should lower your pricing standards. Everything is expensive nowadays. But I definitely agree with the thing about having no lights for this price.

Not everything! This 08's RRP is within £10 of Dapol's *new tooled* manor class, which is a larger loco with more features... and a tender!! Thanks for watching, Sam :)

Been wanting to get the BR Black 08 for a while now, might take the leap of faith and buy one this year. 😂

Is it the Ruston in the siding near the turntable or the light blue diesel with the empty wagons in the sidings also great review on the 08 shunter Sam’s trains (Please pin me if I’m right or wrong)

Keep an eye on your dapol Western. I bought mine at a similar time to you and the motor is starting to slowly die. Mine probably has more miles on it than yours but still keep an eye on it for the motor slowly crawling to a stop. Then you have to shut off the power and the turn the power back up again. 😊

Nice model Sam but i must say the Hornby 08 is beter but the Bachmann 08 is cheaper.

I’m looking at getting a class 08 to make a realistic diesel (T&F). Would you recommend the hornby or the bachmann one?

Finally, you reviewed a modern Class 08 diesel shunter from Bachmann and it is decent which is all I can say. Hornby's version of this locomotive looks much better Sam. By the way, Hatton's has a few Class 08 diesel shunters from Hornby on their website.

I have this exact model. :) Mine has one of the pegs holding the rods loose and it will catch on the rods every rotation, easy fix though.

While this is a beautiful loco, I’m sorry that you had such trouble with it. I’d like to get any OO 08 in black, personally, but my buying days will have to go on hiatus for a while…

As with the Hornby 08, the coupling rods do not remain horizontal when moving, making the loco look totally un-realistic. Admittedly, on the Bachmann loco shown, it is only the rear coupling rod which looks wrong. The rear of the two rods on this loco fluctuates when in motion. As I commented in the Hornby 08 review, I have a couple of early Lima examples which don't do this & look much better when in motion. For the money being asked for these, this a very poor effort.
