Bachmann making up 60% of this list just shows their incredible dedication to value
haha very much so! ;D
It’s even worse when you realize that the Bradford Exchange Queen Elizabeth train is a copy of a Bachmann model, albeit a very cheap and nasty reproduction. The original Bachmann model 4-6-0s had working side rods and lots of detail, and even dcc and sound.
Lol 😂 well said friend!
Depends their Class 37 is more than daycent
Sell it to the enthusiast at the highest price possible
The Queen Elizabeth ll Royal Rememberance Express Colloection is a crime to eyes everywhere.
The Royal Family should sue Bradford Exchange for making such an abomination that is supposed to honor her late royal highness.
pretty much everything from bradford is garbage
As I watched this, I was struck with sheer TERROR as I realized the Bradford QE II was only the THIRD worst of the year. My god, I thought, can I stand the shock of the next two? Dare I allow my family (cats and dogs) to look over my shoulder as the two worst were revealed? What if my neighbors saw the rictus of fear on my face? What if own one of them? Is self-immolation a solution? What if there is a Lionel product in the next two? [later edit]: There was! [last edit]: Bachmann U.S. is no surprise, not even closely related to Bachmann Euro. This obscenity proves it. 'Nuff said. Good on ya, mate! Well done, and quite entertaining. (I think I worked for Dickie Dickson once.)
haha I know - I think the fact that it ran well got it a better rating than it deserved! haha thanks mate - and you did well to get away from Dickie Dickson's employ for sure! Thanks for watching, Sam :)
LOL! :D
And with the most recent review, it would be fourth worst!
At least the first two - the Lionel loco and the Bachmann streetcar - bear some resemblance to a prototype, but those responsible for the Bradford Exchange monstrosity deserve a long jail sentence...
Excellent video as always, Sam. Now let’s give it up for 2023’s worst rolling stock as rated by the big man himself!: 5) Hornby Gresley Suburban Coaches 4) Lionel £10 Wagons 3) Bachmann’s Dancehall Brake Van 2) Evermodel Box Cars And taking the number one spot of awful is the SPA wagon from DJM! Thank you, thank you! I’ll be here next week!
Thanks a lot David - yeah I'd say that's pretty much as it should be! Thanks for watching, Sam :)
I'm glad you've come to your senses and smashed the tram, it's only good feature was the led, I think the Bradford exchange Queen Elizabeth loco was an act of high treason. It could have been so good but ended up an insult to the late Queen and to anyone who purchased one.
haha absolutely - treason indeed! Thanks for watching, Sam :)
I have an idea for a proper queen Elizabeth loco, I looked up her date of birth and worked from there and decided on the SR Lord Neilson class
You're building a good demo reel for your breakout acting career 😂. Nice job on this video, the time you spent filming & editing do show and I certainly appreciate your efforts. ❤
Haha thank you so much, really appreciate it!
Yeah Sam is actually got some chops! He could be to model trains what Mike Bustos is to formicarium hobbyists.
Dickie Dickinson’s endorsement is so quotable! I need him to write my cover letters ‘A couple of them ACTUALLY worked ,’ ‘they are absolutely adequate,’ 😂 golden
Hahaha I’m sure for the right amount of money Dickie would do absolutely anything!
Does Bruce Dickinson from Iron Maiden have any degree of kinship with Dickie Dickinson 😀😀😀😀😀?
I actually went and bought a Collett with the ROD tender after your review lol - I found one on eBay for 40 quid being sold as a non-DCC ready version... I actually think it's a nice model - takes all sorts, eh? :)
hahaha blimey - at least for £40 it's not too bad! Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I honestly think that the Queen train set thing should have had the #1 spot. The straight up blatant lies and outrageous price for it are just completely inexcusable. That's just my opinion though. Great video Sam as always!
That was really funny, you're a great actor! I've got an old Bachmann PCC tram with none of the gimmicks available on the "new" version, so I'm actually quite pleased with it ...and it was cheap! Looking forward to the Best Of 2023.
haha thanks a lot Patrick - ahh interesting - is that one with the old chassis design then?? Thanks for watching, Sam :)
@@SamsTrains yes, it's got the small Bachmann pancake motor on a split chassis bogie and umpteen small plastic gears. A previous owner had lubricated it with ballbearing grease! I'll review it on my channel during the Christmas holidays. It's entertaining, but on the noisy side.
A fitting tribute to these abominations of model trains. On the other hand, this video also demonstrates why your channel is a favorite of so many; your script and video quality are superb and constantly improving. Well done, sir!
👏👏👏 The Martin McMartinson Company part made me laughing the hardest. Keep up the great work Sam. Your Christmas story was also excellent.
hahahaha they're a company who likes to keep on giving... that's for sure! Thanks for watching, Sam :)
The near miss/hit compilation made me laugh. Like Sam always randomly hits things with a hammer, he always rolls backwards in a chair and he always just has a track leading to the edge of the table. The PCC car just so happened to be there.
I have literally been waiting all year for this!! Good to see this up Sam. Can’t wait for the best!
hahaha awesome thank you so much! :D
haha thanks Tommy, glad you like these! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)
16:31 “revolting crust” made me laugh more than it should have
Well, another year down and once again, with this list, thank you for giving me something to look forward to at the end of the year. Thanks again for another year of lovely and chilled content and all the best to you and yours Sam. And cheers to 2024 🥂
Ahh you're most welcome - many thanks for your very kind words! Thanks for watching, Sam :)
My favorite time of year! Laughing at the worst of the worst feels like the last one happened just yesterday haha Also if I may add on a recommendation… for next year, what if you also added on the worst rolling stock of the year as a bonus entry? Just a little thought I wanted to say ^^’
haha it does feel like yesterday doesn't it?! And great idea - a few people have recommended that! Thanks for watching - Sam :)
We all know number 1 would be the Coca Cola Lowmac.
haha thank you so much - yeah quite a few people have asked for that, it's something I might look at next year! Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Well thank goodness none of those appear in my roster! That Queen tribute monstrosity was beyond the pale for me. It was an insult to humanity, which for a non-royalist like myself is going some! I’m amazed she didn’t just come back to haunt the thing! 😂 Shame as I was so hoping it would meet a grisly end, but I guess the other two were just that little bit more dreadful. Ah well, can’t lose them all, eh? 🤔 Happy new year mate 👍🍀🥂
What a great video Sam, looking forward to the next one...I have just retired, and want to get back into this great hobby from when I was just 11 years old... your channel has given me great inspiration, wishing you and your GF a happy Christmas...
Thanks so much Glenn - congrats on your retirement, hope you can have many years of fun with model railways! Thanks for the lovely words, Sam :)
My goodness the EFE J94, well I almost bid for one on eBay then I remembered how bad the model was that you reviewed and I thankfully didn’t confirm my bid.
haha not one I'd personally recommend... wish a manufacturer would come along and do a proper one! Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Your punishments were hilarious (and well deserved), Sam. However, that Bachmann PCC streetcar deserved worse, in my opinion, and I like model trams! I wish you and Chloe best wishes for the holidays from across the pond in Wisconsin!
haha thanks a lot Andrew - you're probably right! Might have to try and find a better tram! Thanks for watching, Sam :)
I wholly agree with you this time. Every model has good and bad points alike. To make you feel better, there's a spooky 00 gauge sized Ghost Train headboard on the way from Fox Transfers.
haha glad to hear it Kelly - ahh that sounds very spooky indeed - hope you enjoy! Thanks for watching - Sam :)
How I enjoyed this roundup so much , at one point I thought you might come out with some of the( group desturbed) singing of the sound of silence, and just so much fun so close to Christmas. Good on you Sam, Merry Christmas From Canada,P
Thank you so much Paul - really glad you liked this one! Always great to have a bit of fun with them :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)
I remember going to Locomotion Shildon and seeing the NCB J94 in the shop. At first I laughed at it because I was reminded of this review, and then I faltered because I noticed it cost £200.
Blimey was that for a sound fitted one or something? What an utter ripoff! Thanks for watching, Sam :)
I think it was, but it was a while back and I can’t remember. Regardless, I didn’t want to buy it.
That movie scene was some real comedy gold🤣
Here is a fun (ish) fact about the collet The possible reason (other then lazyness) for the tender to not be conected to the loco is that I'm quite sure it's recicled from the bachmann O4 (some were fitted with robinson tenders from Rods from 2-8-0s) Also explains why the tender looks slightly better then the loco
Yeah that's right - it's a tender designed for another loco - but this happens quite often, and there's absolutely no reason for it to have that drawbar and no electrical connection, haha! Thanks for watching, Sam :)
@@SamsTrains Very true! Bachmann is a very difficult brand You have to be careful what models you buy from then, their new stuff tends to be excellent, but they also sneek a lot of older models in their current range, so research is always necessary. Great video as always!
@@SamsTrains believe the Bachman collett is from 2007, so the faults of it are kind of explainable , plus i don't think they sell it brand new anymore so second hand is the only way to find them anymore
i don't think it's right to criticize models not produced in 2023 and 17 years old
@@kltmilliken “2007” yeah produced The tooling is way older and dates back to mainline Even compared to other models from 2007 (or even older ones) it is lacking, there is no way around it.
Always an enjoyable video at the end of the year, a good laugh, thank you
Thank you so much glad you enjoyed it! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Good heavens, another year just flying by..., remembering all those reviews and some astounding shocking ones indeed. Absolutely staggering and infuriating what some companies are trying to pull, and can continue doing... Sad, but at least our hobby is blessed with more than enough gems to be had. Those ghastly melons are a good replacement for golf balls as well for having a go at the course 🤣
haha very much Linda - some of them beggar belief... but there are still tonnes of great models, as you'll see with the top 5 list! Thanks for watching, Sam :)
The models might be awful, but your end of year “worst model” video gets funnier every year. I really look forward to these!
haha thank you so much - really glad you liked it!
Definitely rhe best video in the entire series! Not often do I have to pause videos because of laughter but this has happened many times whilst watching this. Completely excellent.
Hahaha great stuff - thank you so much!
haha thank you so much - glad it gave you a laugh! Thanks for watching, Sam :)
This is always my fav video of the year. I especially loved the intimate movie scene. I’m still laughing hahahah! Thank you Sam and Merry Christmas!!!
haha thank you so much - really glad you liked the skits! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Absolute gold......totally entertaining and well produced!! Cheers!
Thanks a lot Paul! :D
Been looking forward to this video all year!
hahaha thank you - hope you like it! :D
Some years ago, Lionel released The Polar Express in HO Scale and looking at the loco from the Hosptial Train Set, I believe Lionel have just reliveried the PE Locomotive tooling.
Yeah absolutely - it is indeed the same base loco! Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Lionel's entire HO line is just rebranded Model Power product...with different paint jobs and higher prices. Same lousy quality as the original MP trains, but you pay for the "saintly" Lionel name. Which is why they don't sell much of it in the US.
If they retooled the locomotive would you buy it
@@FreighttrainDaniel1225probably not. I believe I’m one of the only people in the UK to own the Lionel 3-pack HO Scale Polar Express Coaches. I’ve only got those because my Uncle just happened to be in America sometime before Christmas. The import charges would be a stab in the wallet
@@terrier_productions oh but if it was cheap or at least affordable would you buy it if it was retooled
I do love Mr. Dickinson. Guess we'll be waiting until April go see him again 😂
haha maybe, we'll have to see! ;D Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Love your judgments clips, great content. I was so worried I would not see the near miss. LOL
haha thank you so much!! ;D
Thanks for the video, Sam. Seriously, I would have thought in this day and age that getting a truly dud locomotive was a rarity from the “Fly-By-Night” model railway company, but it appears I was wrong. Truly when companies pump out substandard stuff that is worse than the old Triang or Playcraft models of the 1960s, you gotta just wonder what’s going on here … 😢
Merry Chrismas and a happy new year Sam!! Cheers Onno.
Did he almost crack during the merciless rant 😂😂
Very entertaining. Well done. Re stop / start of a DCC engine. I have a Lionel Polar Express DCC sound + 4 light fitted carriages. Ran for ages on a small oval with a Bachmann DC 1 AMP 12V powerpack. Decided to get a 2 AMP controller. Stop / start all over the place. Back to the old Bachmann power pack and it was OK. Seems I'd bought a DC PMW controller which interferes with DCC signals! ie confusion over wireless instruction versus a track instruction.
10:10: You could say that Bachmann’s lust to make sub-par models is rather huge. 🤷♂️ Marry Christmas, Sam! 16:29: *I wish to consume the forbidden crust.*
*consume*
hahaha dammit, that must have been it! Thanks for watching, Sam :)
There is a reason why Tyco models are available in such large numbers and are cheap because they mass produced them to be so. Bachmann in comparison is rehashing its old catalog of product, making it cheaper, and then raising the price.
BRO ACTUALLY SMACKED THAT STREETCAR WITH A FECKING HAMMER!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I want to say sam, I've grown up with your videos and I am glad you are still going strong in this field, thank you for your service to the model railways around the world.
Thank you so much- that's my pleasure! :D Thanks for watching, Sam :)
My little boy loved this. Especially when you took the hammer to the streetcar. Have a great Xmas.
haha that's good to hear - tell him hello from me! Thanks for watching, Sam :)
I called that Bradford QE2 as the worst model of the year as soon as you reviewed it. I'm utterly stunned that there are even worse rip off's being sold.
18:39 actually made me laugh out loud 😂
The Collett rant was awesome!
Funny stuff. And at ~ 22:06 I felt you sounded like a Banjo Kazooie character. Not sure if it’s because the British have some sort of comedic stock laugh from time to time? I enjoyed it. Thank you.
The Bachmann PCC car must be well over 50 years old now, so god knows how they justify that kind of price, even with the new DCc socket and extra lights. I have a Bradford Exchange Christmas train, it looks as kitch as you would expect, except that it is based on standard Bachmann stock and EZ Track, and the loco is the On30 4-6-0 with split chassis features. It’s okay, works fine and the Grand Children love it. I wouldn’t have thought it possible to down grade it, but hay, how wrong could I be.
Oh yeah, use the hammer on the Badford (not “Bradford”, I mean “BADford”!) Exchange POS, instead (then please give the remains to the scrap man so he doesn’t go hungry.) The PCC trolley can be improved with stay-alive capacitors for the decoder (this will improve the performance over the points, and it won’t cut out and reset quite so much) and you have a handy 3D printer; you could make an “interior” kit for it - there must be a couple of people with this same model who’d like a real interior. And the sparking trolley pole was a nice effect! Also, the wheels have nice bolt detail. This model does have the potential to be at least a “C”-rated model, but the paintwork pretty much limits that. 😭
haha I certainly have the urge to bust it up badly, haha! Stayalive is a great shout - think that'd be well worth doing! Thanks for watching, Sam :)
I'm sure that motor in the expensive queen loco had a Hornby code on it. I've been searching the codes stamped on them recently to try and find the specs of the motors.
I'm not sure about that - 99% sure Hornby don't manufacture their own motors, so if the codes match they could have just sourced them from the same supplier! Thanks for watching, Sam :)
@@SamsTrains not made by them, but made (and stamped) for them so a possibility that the origins and production of the locos could be a back room in hornby hq.
Lionel never installs flanges on inside drivers on locomotives with more than six drivers since the 1940's. That is so the locomotives can negotiate curves with less a diameter than the track provided with your set. I operate pre and postwar Lionel O scale. I have found the Lionel trains made in China to be mostly garbage. Great video.
15:47 Funny enough, the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe (ATSF for short) actually did have some Berkshire engines, in the form of their 4101 class, which I think lionel was attempting to represent (admittedly rather pathetically)
Ahh very interesting - thanks for sharing! Thanks for watching, Sam :)
That's likely the brand they were going for, but the Berkshire Lionel makes is based on the Pere Marquette N-1 class, and it's literally the only HO loco they make, they just put it in a bunch of different colors.
God, this video is priceless. Thanks so much for doing these videos every year!!! Also name the trolley's driver Bertie, after the bus from Thomas and Friends! Because the name also sounds like the creature probably responsible for the fact that his eyes look like hollow sockets where eyes SHOULD be! And with him being a blind driver, he reflects the designers who thought this model looked good enough to sell for a DASTARDLY 175 pounds! ALSO THANK YOU FOR CALLING OUT THE STUPID PHRASE "NEAR MISS" I HATE IT WITH A PASSION!! If someone told me they had a near-miss with a train, I'd say "Well, what made you think you could beat it in the first place, dumb**s?!"
haha so glad you enjoyed it! Ahh Bertie, that sounds fitting! Yeah near-miss has always bugged me... now I've avenged it! Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Sense of humour is a must...Merry Xmas Sam
I'll say one thing in the Bachmann PCC's defense - it seems to sit lower down on its wheels than the historic ones did. That may be its only refeeming feature though.
Ahh interesting - wonder if that's accurate then?? Thanks for watching, Sam :)
I have an older Bachmann Collet Goods from when I was a kid. There's no DCC socket and it has square bearings but it has sprung buffers, more weight, isn't split chassis and still runs pretty well for a loco of its age that I've had from before I knew how to do a basic service. How on earth did Bachmann manage to make the newer version so much worse?
Ahh very interesting - wonder why they added sprung buffers and took them off again? Thanks for sharing! Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Superb stuff Sam although I thought that the QE 2 loco would romp / stutter home as the worst.
haha yeah that one really sucks - if it didn't work so well, I think it would've been bottom! Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Turd on wheels...that got me laughing....lololol
I think some that in some the models mentioned, we have an issue of mispricing, is not that they're beyond redemption, but more that they should be cheaper considering what they offer ancient models should be available at entry level prices instead of high end prices
Yeah very true - a lot of the time it's the ridiculous prices combined with lack of features that makes a model bad!
Yeah I'd agree with that - at the right prices many of these could be acceptable budget offerings! Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Probably the best video of the year!
haha thanks you very much! :D
Merry Christmas to you and your family 😊🎉
Merry Christmas Sam! :D
Could i ask you about a question about the Bachman brunch line digital starter set is it worth buying for about £130 any good I hope you don’t mind me asking thank you
As far as I’ve ever been able to see the DJM now EFE J94 has pretty much only 2 detail advantages over the Hornby (ex 1980s Dapol) J94: the lack of seam line along the saddle tank and the separately fitted smokebox door dart.
I’m glad to see someone finally pointed out how weird the term “near miss” is
I think Lionel just took their O scale models, shrunk them down in an animation software, made a couple other modifications to make the model cheap and nasty
That would be way more effort than Lionel actually made on their latest attempt at HO.
That would be the case for the 50's/60's Lionel HO line, the current one however is just rebranded Model Power.
haha I wouldn't be surprised... it certainly looked very low effort! Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Great to see Simon… I mean Dickie Dickson make an appearance! Your posh accent impression always gets me!
hahahaha glad you like it! ;D
I actually have a more recent Collett. Granted there isn't a DCC Decoder but mine does have sprung buffers. Granted the buffers on your Collett are super thin and fine, but given that Oxford Rail has similarly shaped buffers on the Dean Goods to your Collett, Bachmann should've re-engineered those buffers to be a tad thicker so that they could spring and be sturdy. On that note, the spring on my Collett's buffers are pretty weak unfortunately.
Bradford exchange is advertising a flying Scotsman clock 😉 😂
hahaha I've seen it!!
this did make me laugh out loud!!! well done
The only one I have is the Collett Goods. Mine is in GWR livery and doesn't have the awful seam line for some reason. Good runner too. Excellent vid Sam...very funny!
Ahh excellent - the Mainline versions of the model had better seam lines actually... maybe they bothered to sand them out?? Thanks for watching, Sam :)
I guess Sam's Trains is now Sam's Musical Instruments because he turned that Bo-Bo into an Oh-Bo.
If it helps, rip out the Lionel Berkshire’s sound unit and replace it with a more conventional dcc/sound decoder. I’d recommend either a TCS WOWsound, Soundtraxx Tsunami 2, or an ESU Loksound decoder.
I’m telling ya Sam, ya gotta try one of Lionel’s O gauge locomotives
Maybe I should! Do they make 2 rail??
they did make some 2 rail locomotives for their smithsonian series
also they made a 2 rail prr t1
i can tell you had a lot of fun with this video, great ranking as usual!
Just in time. I am really looking forward to the list. Christmas came early!
I think those Bradford Exchange locomotives are the same ones (different liveries) that come in train sets from Home Bargains for £20.
They look a bit like the Christmas train sets designed to run around the base of the tree.
BRUH THE RANT PUNISHMENT HAD ME DYING!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It’s Hammer time 🔨 22:55 lol
Very awesome my friend. Ur trains are the best my friend. Keep being awesome. I hope to get some cool trains in the future. But I did know the first engine was going to be the worst. But there trains what do u expect . I guess it depends on motors and gears
Pointing with the 🔨 is hilarious
2:19 does the middle axle rotate freely or is it driven? Because it's almost half a turn off.
Any time the Martin Mart Martinson characters appear it's a good day.
haha, top tier marketing tactics as always ;D
I liked the Casablanca reference 😂😅
What is a Sam'sTrains engineer? I was just wondering if that was something I should look into. Now for the more important business. I liked the professional way you Konducted the worse tranes of 2320. Such care have I never seen before. This makes me want to hang around until next year to see what transpires this year. lol God Bless My Friend.
Well this will be a thrill! So much terrible product to go over… I got one of those Lionel berkshires years back on massive discount. I’ve made it into a great runner (still not as good as the souped up Bachmann Thomas. When you take the eye mechanism out, they become spectacular!) and to fix the pickup discontinuity, I’ll be isolating the chassis and adding wipers, along with moving the wheel sensor to the loco. That should bring out its massive, previously wasted potential! Thanks Sam!
haha oh blimey those berkshires are so shoddy - glad to hear you managed to get it to be a better runner though! I do think disconnecting the eyes is a great idea to extend the life of the Thomas models! Thanks for watching - Sam :)
@@SamsTrains at least the first run of Berkshires had much higher quality control and thus somehow managed to do a decent crawl right out of the box. Those old Bachmann 5 poles need tens-hundreds of hours outside the chassis, running free to get good running, but once it reached that (and it helps if you put extra neodymium magnets on them), MY GOD do they improve! I already get Hornby j36-j15 levels of slow crawling from them and I still am yet to put flywheels on them! Love your acting by the way!
Wow, no heljan this year! A miracle!
Morale of the story- check the reviews before buying or else you are going to get some crap.
Would you upgrade to electro frogs or unifrogs could help with the small shunters
I got the Efe J94, it's my first model, and i didn't know these details, i also had to pay 15-20 more pounds because i got the NCB green "amazon" with weathering I'm hoping it's not tgat bad when i start using it and maybe i can get a new chassis and rework it to have a better motor and improve it, cause i like it, i really do like it
I haven't gotten it running yet because i am not in the situation or have the means to run it but it's kinda daunting and a shame that my first loco is something i won't have for when I'm 10-30 years later in this hobby, i just saw it was reduced down to 90 pounds on rails of Sheffield and saw it was in my favorite color and a month later i see this notification and see a J94 in the thumbnail, thinking it was another company's product Is it even possible/worth it to replace a motor and chassis of a 0-6-0 just because the shell is a good design?
Before you buy your next model, try to find a few reviews of it first - reviews, not adverts. You'll stand a better chance of not being dissatisfied if you know already what's in the box before it arrives.
Great vid this was hilarious, some real turds in here! My fav videos of the year, this pair!
haha thank you so much - really glad you liked it!! :D Thanks for watching - Sam :)
I can definitely agree with you on most of these choices. Very Entertaining Video.
Been waiting all year for the worst and best videos
Martin Mart Martinson Models - any resemblance to any company living or dead is purely coincidental (especially one based in Margate).
Hahah the perfect disclaimer!
8:42 Is it in single axle coaches or express coaches?
Playing the devil's advocate !! I have 3 EFE and 7 DJ models J 94s mostly Hattons limited editions all bought fairly cheaply. Most are factory weathered, the liveries are all excellent and they ALL run faultlessly unlike some of models that are supposedly much better !
Any modeler with half a brain will tell you to stay away from Lionel HO/OO products. Nice video!
YES Sam's special! Always glad to see the man have his funny bone (no not THAT funny bone) show oh my god that is a shocker! i was certain that number 2 would "win" the worst rank. oh hello random quote from George carlin XD very much appretiate the "near miss" bit
If Lionel ever made a good HO steam locomotive, I have never heard of it.
I loved that second sentence! 😂 Comedy gold
