They are nice models. However, this latest batch appears to have issues with the corner windows cracking. If one looks carefully, it will be seen that this example also shows a crack (11:28). Mine are no exception.
If you look at some of the older photo of European railways the most common add on to this type of machine was a 4 wheel low sided 3-plank wagon (used for skis, bicycles, or general goods). The wagon would be used either way so pulled or pushed. The coupling would be a solid bar/tube as the wagon would not have brakes other then parking on its own. That is despite the machine having connecting brake hoses. On a model the bar/tube would require rotation in all direction but would need a restrictive cone to limit side push on corners. But needs to be long enough for the out swing distance of the coupling bar center from the machine drive axle.
Nice review of a cool looking vehicle, it’s great to hear Heljan are keeping a keen eye on the secondhand market prices, it’s a shame Bachmann don’t do this as the price of their secondhand class 37 Network rail yellow livery and the Europhoenix silver livery models are excessively high, also the RTC coach prices are extremely high, Bachmann have a vast catalogue of these coaches but a re-release is highly unlikely, it would be good for all manufacturers to have a look at what their products are doing on the secondhand market because it’s not as great as people think price wise, thanks for sharing.
According to Wikippedia: The British Rail Derby Lightweight diesel multiple units, were the first such trains to be built en-masse for British Railways. The units were built at BR's Derby Works from 1954 to 1955. The units were built in various formations, including 12 power-twin 2-car units, 84 power-trailer 2-car units, and four 4-car units. The two single car units were originally built as a two-car unit and then split two years later when demand came about. IS that them?
Do you think this would benefit from a stay alive Jenny? Seems like it might be suitable case for treatment. P.S. I couldn't find the link you mentioned in the video.
Not the $800 model he just reviewed. Jenny doesn’t get to keep the model. Perhaps you’re familiar with car reviews. Do you think the reviewers buy those?
He didn't review like he does with the others trains .people agree with me out my model railway club that they trust Sam with a review then any other RU-vidr.
They are a Danish company, and my pronunciation was confirmed with them as the correct pronunciation. In many languages ‘j’ is pronounced as per an English ‘y’
