Hi Sam, I have one of these so can actually comment on my experiences! Picked mine up for £50 (second hand, but barely used) off Ebay. Mine is the LMS model, from the early 2000s (so no NEM pockets on mine). Can't fault much of your review but will comment that: - The triangular mount style couplings can be a bit annoying to fit (one of mine broke on installation), it looks like they have since been upgraded with NEM pockets. - My earlier version does seem to crawl a bit better then yours, not sure if the motor has changed or you've just got a poorer motor in yours.

It's funny how for this year, we're seeing the best and worst Bachmann has to offer.

If only they can update the old models like the Jinty to their new standards, and actually justify the high prices they keep giving these models.

I have been very much wanting to pre-order the new Bachmann LMS 5XP 'Jubilee' however after continuing to see reviews of shortcomings with other Bachmann offerings - like this Bachmann LMS Class 3F Jinty - I am left very hesitant to commit to purchase. I look forward to your review on one of the Jubilees when they do eventually come out and will likely decide post-review. I noticed when you did your review of the Hornby Merchant Navy 'East Asiatic Company' that a sudden popularity uptick on Hattons website occurred and it has now subsequently sold out. Manufacturers need to take note that your reviews are having immediate market impact and need to competitively respond with their upcoming product offerings. Keep up the good work Sam!

The Jinty: Basically Thomas the Tank Engine if Reginald Payne hadn't made him an E2 in the first rendition of the book illustrations and confused everyone. For context, Awdry wanted Thomas to be a J50, but Payne used a southern railway engine for reference instead, yet he ironically made certain features like the funnel and boiler more Jinty-like than E2-like. I would have gone for a shortened Jinty with a few small changes.

The model cannot be discontinued due to the popularity of it, plus the exposed gear cover makes servicing the loco mush simpler. Discontinuing a model like the 3F Jinty is not an option due to the NEM pockets being a critical necessity for those with NEM genuine Kadee knuckle couplers, Lifelike discontinued the C16 dockside switcher and no other manufacturer has picked it up since and hence models cannot be discontinued for those that want the model and also needing parts for them as well.

Another 15-20 year old model that blew us away when it came out and now lags sadly against newer competitors. The bachmann 57xx & 8750 similarly are now RRP £120 and it doesn’t have anywhere enough detail to justify that, trouble is you’re looking at £90+ for one of those if you want DCC ready as older cheaper ones are on the 1980s split chassis - They don’t look too bad from a distance but put them alongside a 94xx and they look like toys.

It would be nice for Bachmann to have an equivalent of the Hornby Railroad range. It would really help people to understand better what they are buying. Like with the Jinty, it's fine to have an old tooling on the market but just needs to be clearer. A little bit of transparency might actually go a long way to help sales as I'm certainly hesitant to buy something from them when I don't know what standard to expect whereas if I have more confidence I'll buy more. They did used to have a Blue Riband sub-brand similar to Hornby's old Super Detail range. Granted you have to re-baseline and re-market every few years.

Hi Sam. I'm a little conflicted: The cab detail is underwhelming and some of the other detail seemed to show flashing that should have been removed. As you said, the price is a bit high (thank you, Bachmann). However, if not already covered by what I have said, perhaps the lack of detail is as you mentioned, down to prototype. Making comparisons to the Peckett and the Terrier seems a little like comparing apples and oranges. Yes, the mechanism sucks (thanks, again, Bachmann). Was it fair to test the crawl of the Hornby Jinty pulling a load?

A very nice discount. I've got an old hornby one, haven't run it in ages because I haven't DCC'd it yet, but I'll be sure to run it next time I'm in the loft. The closest I've got is the bachmann 57xx/8750s, I have a br black one and a LT one, very nice models although not the newest or best (one has an 8-pin socket, the other I hard wired a chip into because its PCB didn't have a socket on). Don't know why, I just love locos with the BRITISH RAILWAYS lettering. Like my Tornado in apple green, my new terrier in ex-SR green (I'm tempted by the black version just released), and of course my exchange trials liveried light pacific 34006 Bude. I really hate how bachmann still produce models from 10-15 years ago (or more) with the latest DCC interface and the new style box as the only upgrades, and slap a modern price tag on. People say you get more detail from modern stock and you get what you pay for, but as you know, bachmann go against that trend. For any locomotive above £100, we deserve a 5-pole motor and proper bearings. And for a tank loco above that, we deserve a flywheel and fully painted cab too. And why can't we have etched works plates, like GWR/LNWR numberplates and nameplates?
