EXCLUSIVE FIRST LOOK: Bachmann 'OO' gauge Class 25 

Cracking video as all Hornby Mag videos are in my opinion. Mike is a natural presenter and always draws the best from the 'interviewee' . Also really encouraging to hear the depth of knowledge Richard has about the loco and the models.

Wow Mike, what a great episode, Richard is at his best, so good to see him relaxing with someone like yourself. Great insight into the class 25, well done Hornby Magazine and Bachmann

Whose wobbley ? bachmanns' class 25, your track or the cameraman?

Nice to look at, but well well out of my price range now. My only hope is that the old ones will now filter down onto ebay! Really nice models though. Good luck with them!!!

That is looking really nice!

Looking good 👍

Very nice Mike and well done for the 1st show went on Saturday and realy enjoyed it well done😁👍

Nice looking model.

Excellent video

thank you both for a really detailed product intro, Mike your presenter skills as usual are fantastic, Richard your product knowledge came across as 1st class, I have older class 25's which really look dated compared to these, my only complaint would be the cost of entry level engines, at nearly £200.oo they will not be available to younger or to older people who are interested in the hobby, as we are all aware the limits to the amounts we can spend on the hobby in most cases is not finite, but really did enjoy this presentation

Really great discussion and model. Can I suggest turn up the mic volume - both of you are super quiet. cheers.

As you have the main Bachmann man there is there any chance you can ask him if Bachmann will ever re-release all their exclusive RTC coaches again, they have the biggest and best back catalogue of them, also a class 37 in Network Rail yellow in the newly tooled model along with the Europhoenix silver livery?

Mike where do you get the black cloth from for the baseboard surrounding please

D5275 to D5279 were built with uprated engines specifically for the Tunstead to Northwich limestone workings of 18 hoppers. When they left Deansgate Junction they had to be garanteed a run through Hale, Ashley & Mobberley or they would stall on the bank, and, boy did they dance on the track. My husband usd to work in Skelton Junction Signal Box.

Looks good. Will the deluxe models have the automatic couplers like the 31s? Good to hear about a previously announced project. Any news on the Turbostars and the conical ended TTAs?

Will Bachman do a model of the class 25 Sybilla on the NYMR

Sounds like the zimo soundfile used in SLW 25?

Good looking loco's but release one in TT

Hmm.so weve had this.hope tomorrows announcement wont dwell too long on these 25s to detriment of other new announcements........

I remember when the first sound fitted locos were £200 ish. £300 plus, getting a bit silly. I can't see how it will attract people to the hobby on a tight budget. I guess it will be DC using first generation Bachmann, Hornby etc. A decent 5 pole 25 for £70.

Slightly off topic what layout is that? Where can I see more pics of it?

Frustrating that Bachmann have released another class 25 to the market, as have Heljan and SLW. Appreciated these take years to plan but the market has been flooded with same type products, glad I moved to O gauge!

Bachamnn have achieved near-perfection, all that is wrong is 16.5mm gauge / not 18.83mm. Note the 8F 48045 with a Fowler tender, are Bachmann to produce an 8F?

Still don't know, when they've Brought out a 24/1 with headcode box and now these,they've skirted over bringing out a class 25/0?? An own goal by bachmann,as no one has brought one out,they could've cornered the market

The SLW 25 is a better loco

The 25s from Rail Exclusive are far superior.

Nice but what about N Gauge getting some new BR loco's heavily OO biased sadly!!

Extremely good old ones are now on ebay , I just got 2 in excellent condition for £70 each…no way I’d ever buy this

15 minutes of Proudman just awkwardly talking to Mike about the Rat's individual detail differences, sure it's all well & nice but I want to see actual close up visuals of the model for me to get an understanding of what those differences are... Like the 31 far too much waffling going on, that convo could be easily condensed into 10 minutes or less...

A lot of bellybutton on display from 2.10 onwards!

The new models look superb, it will be interesting to hear the sound in person, instead of this video, if the SFX models look and sound the biz, I will purchase these instead of SLW’s class 25’s
