A review of the new 009 Quarry Hunslet 'Britomart' from Bachmann's narrow gauge range!
Bonus Content: / @thatmodelrailwayguy
MERCH: shop.thatmodelrailwayguy.com
One of the first things that got me thinking seriously about a 009 layout was the announcement of the Quarry Hunslets back in 2018. Now a few years later the models have finally arrived and I was very excited to my hands on one.
While it was ultimately the Double Fairlies that pushed me into building my 009 layout in a suitcase Gofod Tynn, the Quarry Hunslets to me are the quintessential narrow gauge engine. These small cute locos come in a variety of brightly coloured liveries with both open and closed cab variants.
I've gone for one of the closed cab versions, Britomart in lined blue with the real engine being preserved at the Ffestiniog Railway in Wales. There's no denying that these good looking locos are small though and I imagine it must have been a challenge to fit the usual amount of detail into such a small model.
Bachmann have been riding high with the success of their other recent narrow gauge locos so will the Quarry Hunslets live up to that? You'll have to watch to find out.

This new Quarry Hunslet locomotive is an extremely beautiful looking model and there are multiple variations of this particular model from Bachmann to choose.

Yep, like I mentioned in the video there's also the open cab versions of this loco too. Bachmann have also announced/released the Mainline Hunslets recently as well, which look very good! Thanks for watching 😃

Several of my friends in the OO9 Society have brought these engines to our monthly track nights, and they really are lovely little things - and very, very tempting. The fact they run so well out of the box is impressive, and positive. As an aside, the Quarry Hunslets could well have been the original inspiration for Rowland Emmett's 'Nellie' - if you look at the early drawings, you're clearly looking at a Penrhyn Hunslet. And can I say that your layout is lovely to see - like it very much.

Hi John, I can definitely seen the similarities there even with a fantastical sense! Glad you like the layout too, I actually did a whole series of videos where I documented the build process from start to finish. Thanks for watching 😃

Very nice review of this iconic loco. Level of detailing seems outstanding, especially considering its microscopic size. Though the starting and stopping speeds are high, while running around the layout it looks pretty good to me. It must be difficult stuffing a decent motor and gearing inside that tiny boiler. Great job to all.
@ThatModelRailwayGuy
@ThatModelRailwayGuy Год назад
Yes I think it's a coreless motor which is how it can be so small. Not sure if that has anything to do with the running but it does look good on the layout. Fingers crossed I'll be able to get it sorted. Thanks for watching 😃

I love quarry Hunslets, I volunteer on the footplate at the Bala Lake Railway. I'd definitely suggest adding the wooden toolbox on the tank, as the Pen-yr-Orsedd examples had them in service and Britomart carries her's still (along with a tiny navy steam siren)

I saw a Bachmann open cab Hunslet in black with red, white and blue lining. It looked really handsome, and I think it would make a great addition to your fleet. Also, Britomart could be Godfod Tynn's express engine.
@ThatModelRailwayGuy
@ThatModelRailwayGuy Год назад
Ah yes that must have been Nesta. If I do get an open cab version I think that's the one I'd go for. Britomart has certainly got the speed for an express engine, it's definitely outpacing the Double Fairlies at the moment! Thanks for watching 😃

Great review! I just bought Nesta (thought I pre-ordered it before it came out, turns out I didn't lol) and I'm excited to get it soon! I do hope the running speed was just a one off fluke because it doesn't look too great taking off like a car from the platform. Definitely a wonderful model and I'm so excited to see what other manufacturers have in store for OO9!
@ThatModelRailwayGuy

Yeah I certainly hope the speed can be improved on mine as it's such a good looking loco. Bachmann definitely are flying the narrow gauge flag at the moment but PECO are definitely dipping their toes in the water more and Model Rail are supposedly making the Rheidol locos in 009 too.

Hi George, have you seen the whole 009 series I did where I built a layout from scratch? That covers everything like track and scenery. As for rolling stock, mine is a mixture of PECO RTR and kit built items which I have some tutorials planned on for the future. Thanks for watching 😃

Very nice review!! Just to add one point, from what I know the doors on the back are mainly to aid the fireman in spreading the coal evenly around the firebox as large long fire irons don't fit properly in the cab. Locos like Corries No.7 have a similar opening for the same reason.
@ThatModelRailwayGuy

Ah that makes sense, thanks for the clarification! Funny, I hadn't even considered that the cab would be too small to use a fire iron properly. Thanks for watching 😃

Gofod Tynn is a very nice layout. Small and compact. One day, However, I would like to see a Much Bigger OO9 scale layout to be built. One that demonstrates the hard working conditions Welsh Narrow Gauge Engines went through in large Slate Quarries. I, being a Thomas Fan, made my own OC's, and one day, when I start modeling, hopefully, I will recreate most of my OC's in OO & OO9 scale.
@ThatModelRailwayGuy
@ThatModelRailwayGuy Год назад
As nice as it would be to have a large 009 layout, unlike a lot of other model railway RU-vidrs, I just don't have the loft/shed space or a dedicated room for large layouts. That's why everything I build tends to be fairly compact. Even the 00 gauge layout I'm currently building is modular in design since it I don't have the space to have it setup all the time. Awesome, best of luck with creating your characters - it's always great to see the different types of creativity this hobby brings out! Thanks for watching 😃

I need to get one of these. Heres a idea. Now there are these smaller DCC decoders out there I wonder if retrofitting the basic Hornby 0-4-0 models will be a lot better now especially with their tight spaces inside them?
@ThatModelRailwayGuy
@ThatModelRailwayGuy Год назад
I have to admit I didn't find hardwiring a decoder into a Hornby 0-4-0 all that challenging when I did it with a standard size 8 Pin. I even had enough space left over to fit in a firebox LED and a smoke generator. Thanks for watching 😃

@ThatModelRailwayGuy
@ThatModelRailwayGuy Год назад
Hi Mitchell, not sure about Talyllyn yet. As much as I'd like one I think the slightly longer wheelbase means it would struggle to get round Gofod Tynn. I'd like to build a more substantial 009 layout in the future but I'm not sure I can justify buying locos I can't actually run at the moment. Thanks for watching 😃

Thanks for watching 😃
@Fluff3H
@Fluff3H Год назад
my assumption to it struggling at low speeds before taking off might be due to its lack of weight, being so small of course. some 0-4-0s have that issue at 00 Gauge and you compare them to the Peckett W4s which, mechanically are essentially the same but they weigh a good bit more for the size and have plenty of low end torque and control.
@ThatModelRailwayGuy
@ThatModelRailwayGuy Год назад
Yes that may be the case. I believe the saddle tank is metal (it's certainly cold to the touch) but it's still fairly light so it may just be it's not contacting the rails enough. The Pecketts are certainly enormous compared to this. Thanks for watching 😃

just a small side question is h0e the same size 009
@ThatModelRailwayGuy
@ThatModelRailwayGuy Год назад
Yes and no.I believe h0e is the narrow gauge scale for H0 while 009 is the equivalent for 00 Gauge. That said, 009 is a bit of a hybrid as it brings all UK narrow gauge locos under one umbrella. In reality the locos from the Ffestiniog and Talyllyn (for example) couldn't run together because of different track gauges. Also Bachmann released it's Skarloey engines in the Thomas range as h0e scale but the vast majority of modellers in the UK here consider them close enough for 009 layouts so I think it's easier to get away with mixing the two scales than it is for H0 and 00. Hope that makes sense and thanks for watching 😃

Lovely model, saw the prototypes some time ago, the running is odd, I've played with one never experienced it can depend on controllers, and potentiometer values, some do have dead spots which looks like it may be the issue and some of these coreless motors can be a bit fussy. The DCC chip issue is world wide due to the chips used to make them... also a problem in the computer industry.
@ThatModelRailwayGuy
@ThatModelRailwayGuy Год назад
Yeah I've had locos from Bachmann in the past that were truly terrible at slow running on DC but once fitted with a decoder they were transformed so I'm hoping it'll be as simple as that. Yep I've got a lot of locos awaiting decoders at the moment, I actually have a few 6 Pins hanging around but alas they're all too big for this tiny loco. Thanks for watching 😃
@bluebellModelrailway
@bluebellModelrailway Год назад
@@ThatModelRailwayGuy Oddly I've never had that on DC with a decent high end controller, the low end ones or ones where the pots are cheap they have a dead zone.. DCC as it's digitally increased and not decided by pot as it's a digital stepped speed increase... I would say it's a controller. The chip issue will go on for some time it's been the situation for almost a year.. so I expect DCC modellers will struggle to find chips in the near future.

@@bluebellModelrailway I'm using a Gaugemaster Model D and generally I find it's smaller locos that occasionally have trouble. My Bachmann 1F was the same, awful on DC but runs beautifully now there's a decoder in it. As for decoders, I generally use Zimo and stocks of those are pretty much back to normal now unless you're looking for something really specific like the tiny micro decoders or a certain sound decoder.
