Hi Sam: I was lucky enough to see 10000 in 1963 before it was scrapped and I can tell you even in its stationary state it was well impressive. The history of the project between the LMS & English Electric is a milestone in the history of diesel development. Will you ever get to see it?
I’m so happy you’re back mate, my week doesn’t feel complete without taking some time out to watch your new videos! Hope you’re doing well ☺️
Awhh thank you so much - that's really nice to hear! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Same here, Starkiller! Thank you SOOO much for what you do. I hope you continue for years to come.
You should do another video on locamotives in the dark as I am sure you have a lot of new coaches and trains with amazing lights
That's a great idea - I do have plenty of locos with lights now! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
@@SamsTrains In 1958 and 59 the newly introduced Transcontinental Double Ended Diesel had headlights at both ends as well as both the cabs illuminated. This lighting was a big selling point sixty years ago and so this model had pride of place on the 1959 Catalogue as shown by Oscar Paisely here : th-cam.com/video/DMjouDdH7SU/w-d-xo.html
In the comments of this video there are some useful links of the prototype background of the model by me.
The catlogue cover made it to the Pat Hammond first edition book too. The lighting, streamlining and bright blue and gold colour scheme helped this model to be the best selling Transcontinental model and even in the UK it was a top seller for a few years.
When I was young it was always a bit special to turn off the room lights and have the R159 illuminate its path.
Of course being based on the iconic Victorian Railways B class helped. The B class was introduced in 1952 and some examples are still running today. May have some connection to the LMS design from the same era but much improved.

th-cam.com/video/pCp2GlhYyPw/w-d-xo.html
This models success had Triang seek out blue locomotives arising for this with the Blue Nellie, Blue class 31 as their first mainline diesel as well as the Blue Caledonian Single and Blue Pullman.
What i love about your reviews compared to some others on the internet ,there very honest i dont get that from a lot of the others. Great work.
Thanks so much Ezza - yep got to be honest... I can't stand all this brown-nosing nonsense... makes me feel physically ill! xD
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Always a good day when you post!
Awwhhh thank you! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
An amazing review to start, and a great item of history.
Amazing video as always Sam.
Thanks very much mate, glad you liked it! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Been waiting for your first loco review for 2021 Sam and it’s finally here. Amazing Video 😊
Thanks so much - hope you enjoyed it! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Glad you are safe and well cannot wait for your new videos to start this year. This is good video makes me want to buy this engine.
Same to you too mate - hope you like the new videos! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
The livery is perfect but the price isn’t I’m gonna wait before I buy. Brilliant video Sam 🙂🙂
Yep I agree - probably best to wait, though they made so few, I bet they'll be gone soon :(
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
eBay anyone?
I really like the look of this diesel unit!
It really looks like if someone took the Alco diesel design, made it longer, and added a second cab. I really love the look of it, and it may just be me and some others but; I find black on British diesels very nice.
I was thinking it looked like an Erie-Built diesel, but with double cabs and thrice split windscreen. If the price ever goes down, I'd like one of this type to go with my fleet of EMD F Unit diesels.
Yeah me too - it's epic isn't it?! Hopefully the price will go down, but they made so few, I think they'll sell out before then :(
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Just got my hands on a Hornby 52xx and Bachmann 4mt tank cause of your reviews, thanks for the great and informative content and great to see you back 🙄
That's awesome Tai, are they good?! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
glad to see your back :)
Thank you so much!! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
I love how you put the end with the figures facing the back lol.
Did I?!?
@@SamsTrains Yea, you can see it when you bring it back into shot after running it in, lol.
I’m part of the team rebuilding 10000, great review
Oh wow!! How's it going? Can't wait to see it! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
What a surprise, I wasn't expecting that! Its a lovely locking as always, Thanks and keep up the good work! =)
Thank you!! haha yeah it's pretty unusual isn't it?! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Thank goodness you're back.
Thank you so much!! :D

Ooh nice an early diesel. Great review. Hope everything is going well.
Thanks mate, hope you're doing well too! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
I was waiting for this!!! You should review the Hornby Railroad Plus tornado and the DCC sound Deltic!
haha awesome! And yeah I'd like to do some railroad +
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Ah yes the classic Sam's trains review's I'm glad you are back. the livery is really nice. We will see that run on the last train of the year then. Thanks
Thanks so much Liam - yes it'll be back at the end of the year! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Awesome Bachmann LMS 10000 Diesel Locomotive Toy Train. Happy New Year Sam'sTrains Mate. X
Thanks a lot Luke, glad you liked it! Happy new year! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Hi Sam, great review!, I have two of these, one suffered from slipping connection inside the fly wheel on one of the drive bogies, adding a drop of super glue to the join between the fly-wheel and the connection rods surround solved the problem. They are both now perfect runners and pull anything
That's very interesting Andrew, thanks for sharing - definitely doesn't sound like the motor is turning though... it hums loudly, just like a stalled motor would!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
@@SamsTrains Initially the loco just performed slowly no power, like yours and then as the friction on driving the front bogie increased it was preventing the motor from turning. If you remove the bogies, which are easily unscrewed you can see if the motor turns freely on its own and separately if the bogies can drive easily from the shaft alone. It turned out the smooth fitting collar inside the flywheel that holds the drive shaft had become loose and off center. I hope that helps you determine the problem. - regards Andrew
I should apologise to you Andrew - I did a video investigating the issue today, and that's exactly what the problem was - I was able to fix the problem by gluing the plastic shaft couplers into the flywheel.... what an absurd problem though. I can't understand how the designers thought that system would work? Mine was dripping with lubricant too, ensuring poor grip on those parts!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
@@SamsTrains Hi Sam, no need to apologise, great that you have fixed it, it was certainly difficult to diagnose.
The crome on the top reminds me of the hornby triang pullman coaches
Yeah you're right, it's very similar to that actually!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)

what is the most expensive locomotive you have ever bought? and how much did it cost?
haha I never spent quite that much - probably the Wrenn West Country class for about £300... I was crazy back then! ;D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Handsome design, looking forward to a better year and many interesting videos from Sam’s Trains.
Thanks a lot Tim, me too mate - all the best for 2021!

Exciting video sam keep it up👍👍
Thanks a lot Fred!! :D

Yay I’m the first to comment! That’s a beautiful locomotive. I’ve just bought a Hornby Ruston 48ds. I’ll do a review on it when it arrives

Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Whooo first 2021 review great looking in that black livery
Thanks Harry, glad you liked it!! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
I have run mine in as advised by the manufacturer (most important) on a rolling road, and then fitted it for DCC operation. It runs as smoothly as any other loco I have and have no problems with it at all. Very impressed.
Glad to hear that! I've since opened mine up and found a major design/assembly defect which was causing the problems - video to follow!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Have missed quite a few videos for one reason or another but hope you had a good christmas and all the best for new year and wishing you the 100k sub you truly deserve love the way you have changed the videos so that you can get to the part you want to see or want to rewatch without having to scroll through all the time to find it great idea!!! Great review as always great looking loco but agree with that price tag performance should be way better than what it is and the small details you would expect for that price tag.
That's okay Kevin, hope you had a good one too mate! Glad you agreed, not a bad one overall though!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
I've seen both 10000 and 10001 in person. Someone i know loves LMS but got these diesels to join his steamies. I visited him in 2019 and I saw both double head together. They are beautiful!
Ooh fantastic - I bet they do look amazing together!! :O
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Lovely video as always, It reminds me of the Danish Litra MY.
Thanks mate, ooh interesting - I'll look that up! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
I'm so happy to see you again.
Thanks so much, I'm happy to be back! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
First review of 2021 in the book! I agree with your thought that there’s friction somewhere. It should definitely slow down less suddenly when the power is cut. I’d be tempted to send it back on those grounds because finding the tight spot might be quite time consuming and frustrating.
Yes indeed! I will investigate the mechanism some time - got to be something not quite right!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
For my first ever layout, I'm planning to do a - what if layout, representing what would happen if the Somerset and Dorset stayed open and I think this might be the loco to start with.
I have been building 3D models based on old photos of the station circa 1930 - 1970 anyway won't ramble on. Great review Sam thanks for reaching me all about this one and the hobby in general.
A funny model if you ask me. It was great in some areas and well below average in others! Either way, it’s great to have you back!
Yeah it certainly is - overall decent though! :D Thanks a lot for your kind words,
Cheers,
Sam :)
Nice review. I used to see this and 10001 together on the Royal Scot in the 1950s. After 10000 was withdrawn, 10001 was something of a 'pet' at Willesden shed and used on fast freight work. The embossed numbers and body central band were embossed on the real engine, like this model.
Amazing memory John - I would have loved to see the pair together! The embossed numbers and banding is just fantastic! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
U inspire me to get in to model trains I am a big fan keep making videos man because U are great at what your doing
That's amazing mate, hope you have a great time! Thanks so much,
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Oooohhhh love the new title! I saw this Railway modeller and I liked the BR black.-Das Mann
Thank you!! I loved the livery too! :3
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
I got the Bachmann 10000 and 10001 when they first came out, in BR Green, and they are amazing locomotives. I've never had any issues with their pulling power or pickups. I would highly recommend them to anyone...
Very interesting Steven - glad to hear yours were better, wonder if they've downgraded them since then?
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
@@SamsTrains maybe, I've had mine for many years now.. Mine have separately fitted numbers also.. Keep up the good work on your amazing channel...
Looks good and runs smoothly without noise
For sure David, it is a decent runner! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Thanks sam for picking one up as I had my eye on it, unless there is a dramatic drop in price wont be going there great review 👍
No problem mate, I think that's the right choice - wouldn't recommend this unless you were really desperate for one!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Watching the Ugly Tank Engine really helps. Don't know what I will do without that video. Please never delete it. :)
Glad to hear that - I won't ever delete it!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
This is very nice, nice detail, nice review and everything else. This runs decently well and the color is nice too.
Thanks mate, yeah overall a very decent model! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
@@SamsTrains Your Welcome!
Good job Sam
Thanks Tyler! :D
Lots of commenters pointing out how American the LMS 10000 looks. H.G. Ivatt was likely inspired by the EMD FT, which was the Diesel That Did It- the one that killed steam in the US. Other diesels existed before the FT and had nibbled at steam's margins, but the FT was the diesel that convinced American railroads that they could handle mainline trains with lower operating & labor costs. It was also very reliable & had a slick marketing & financing campaign from EMD's parent company General Motors to gin up sales. Not a bad starting point for Britain's pioneering diesel.
That's true actually - very interesting that this really was inspired by the EMD design then - fascinating stuff!! :O
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
I've just got one of these, beautiful looking loco, from an independent model shop in Aberystwyth. Problem I had is after half hour of running it started screaming from one of the bogies. Took it apart to find the loco had little to no lubrication, all sorted now though but not something I'd expect to be doing brand new out the box. The Dapol Western I also brought was the other extreme which I know you've commented on before 😆
Awesome video today Sam beautiful locomotive did the fan move when it was running
Thanks a lot James, no it didn't sadly! :(
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
This by far one of the best looking Diesels you have. I was completely blown away when I saw the thumbnail. The black and silver looks so great. Idek that Diesels were made by the other railways pre-grouping. Shame they didn't go all out with this.
I agree Alex, definitely one of the best looking ones, I was blown away when I saw the photos too!! :O
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Hi Sam, nicely balanced review as usual. I've got a pair of LMS twins but I've got them in the later lined Brunswick green livery. I can't agree with your comments regarding performance. Mine can slip the wheels quite easily if overloaded (load on the coupling wise..). I've not experienced any interruption in power supply due to oiling the bearings either and I've had them for quite a few years now and they have many hours use under their belts. You must remember though, these were very early diesels and were (relatively) underpowered. Initially they were rated at 1600hp and even the class 37 beat that with 1750hp on tap. You could say they're quite prototypical in being low powered. Also, they were regularly ran together. You might want to buy 10001 and run the two in multiple and see how they perform as a team LOL. Love the videos, keep it up.
PS. I've been running model trains since the late 1970s and not once have I felt that a loco has required sprung buffers LOL. Not having a pop, just my opinion.
Thanks very much! Yes others have said that too - so this new release is either faulty, or it's seen some downgrades - interesting! Many thanks for sharing your experience,
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Awesome video and diesel sam
Thanks AJ! :D

@@SamsTrains No problem
Glad to watch another brilliant review of a model locomotive from you, Sam!😊As always, such a pleasant and interesting, both educative and entertaining experience! Best of luck to you!🙂This diesel loco seems to me to be a bit too expensive for its appearance/performance (there are many others more detailed and reliable models). Anyway, congrats on expanding your collection!
Thanks so much my friend, that's lovely to hear!! Yes agreed, too expensive, but a good looker for sure! :D

Hello Sam, regarding the ATF I did an experiment. I blobbed some of the stuff on a wagon and I'm pleased to say that it doesn't attack the plastic.
It only creates a fatty mess but so does lube oil and, as always, less is more.
Thanks for sharing this Ron - I might give that a try then!!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Yay!🥳 you’re uploading again! Also that’s a mighty fine looking diesel! (Fixed)
This train is a desiel train not a loco

Thanks for watching, Sam :)
it’s fine but read the title next time XD or ppl gonna hate ya
@@metalsonicempirenewchannel4782 The self powered drive unit whether steam, diesel or electric powered is known as the locomotive. Locomotive plus it's carriages or waggons is known as the train. Its a common mistake to call a loco a train.
Love trains and love your videos man ❤️
Thanks so much Sabastian! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
@@SamsTrains I love trains I only have one train set and it is the flying Scotsman and it doesn't work and can't afford to fix it
I've been waiting for a review of this one. I mind mentioning this model sometime ago on one of your other videos. Such a shame about the mechanism and the price tag on such a beautiful model. My goodness that livery is staggering. Just hasn't aged well enough to justify the price; didn't know it dated back to 2011 but even then there's models as old as 2008 that remain unsurpassed. Still couldn't help but love it as there isn't very many early Diesel prototypes like this one; it would get attention wherever it goes on a layout.
Thanks mate, yeah a few people did mention this one! The livery certainly is staggering though, but yes, not aged well!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
hi sam! love the videos. surprised you didn't mention the switches on the bottom for the lighting variations - I found that a pretty neat option considering I don't run dcc.
Thanks so much Mark, yes that's true - I could have talked more about those!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
@@SamsTrains no worries! Deffo adds to the value I feel. Thanks for the content :)
Brilliant video sam I agree with you all the way on your review dave

Great review Sam that is an amazing looking loco
I finally caved in and got hold of a class 66 from hattons and I have to say my outlook on them has completely changed I went with a GBRf one
Bachmann have always been very good at doing diesel locomotives
Thanks David - that sounds fantastic, was it good?! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
@@SamsTrains it has been fine only one axle box has fallen out but it has been glued back in and is running okay for £119 and the fact that I can do little jobs like that I can justify it

Another great video from sam will there be more o gauge videos anytime soon sam
Thanks so much mate - yes more coming soon!! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
This has always been one of my favourite diesels too. I have the Hattons/Dapol version, with LMS lettering, which is a bit different from this model. It has a matt finish and no headboards or figures in the cab - but, on the plus side, it isn't stopped by my finger!
If I ever get a 10001, I might have to get the Bachmann version, just so that I can compare the two.
Ahh very interesting - thanks for sharing... amusing to hear that even the Dapol one can outperform this!! ;D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
18:05 I’ve got the Bachmann Limited edition Avro Vulcan XH558 Class 37 and the lights on it are fantastic
That's awesome - glad to hear that!! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Another good and well rounded review Sam. It does have quite a striking look but that motor does raise a bit of concern. Good explanation to why a motor needs a good torque as well, you may not notice a model in distress straight away and you don’t want it to burn out.
Thanks a lot Rob, yeah it certainly does! Not sure why this one was so underpowered - I may investigate some time!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
very good review. that is a nice looking locomotive
Thanks Matt, it really is! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Pete Waterman talked about this diesel once, said that the first people that ever drove it didn’t even notice what was happening because of how easy it was to operate compare to steam engines they were use to.
Yeah I can imagine that actually - must have been a complete change of key for them!! :O
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
I like the early deisel locos.
I agree whith you on the color .
👍👍👍👍🇸🇪
Good review, Sam,you've got me doing torque tests on all my locomotives now! The odd one out was the Hornby 56,right?
Thanks a lot Christopher - haha! Yes it was - well spotted! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
well worth the wait
Thanks a lot Jonny! :D
Great to see ya

What a nice loco to kick off the new season of revwing locomotives I think you was not to harsh on the model but this is why bing modeling company's learn from this to make there locos even better but another grate video sam
Thanks very much Michael, glad you liked it! I agree - hopefully they will learn and improve!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
This would look amazing next the LMS Coronation Black 😉 hopefully we can see a modern review of it with in the future!
That's very true actually Mark - great idea!! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
It’s interesting how despite being the first mainline diesel, it doesn’t give off that feeling. It looks like it could’v been built a decade later, and still fit in with every other diesel. Nothing about it feels prototypical in any way, and that is amazing!
Yeah you're right - it looks pretty standard and established doesn't it? Besides the livery I guess! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
I want one of these but I'll wait for a deal, esp. factoring in shipping to the US. Streamliners are my favorites & love the black & silver livery! I have a HO scale New Haven streamlined 4-6-4 by Broadway Limited with a similar livery and it's a head-turner for sure! The full sized LMS 10000 recreation project will be amazing to see too.
Yeah I would, though they may sell out before the prices come down... that's the latest big idea in the industry! :(
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Very good review! I had just purchased my own model of 10001 a short while ago second, a BR Green version by Dapol for Hattons. The model is apparently very rare (Even I didn't know Hattons had these two legendary engines modeled), and was just over £140!
Thanks a lot mate, blimey, so even that was cheaper than this!! xD
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
@@SamsTrains Indeed so! And to add the engine even had sprung buffers. :P
I'll think is so nice brand new the diesel Sam's train 2021 XD
Thanks a lot Llesh! :D
It's a real shame this loco didn't live up to the price, it is such a beatiful diesel, and a working replica is about to commence it's production. Much too pricey, but not a major loss I think. Is the torque issue fixable at all? Of course it's no excuse but it's always helpful if something is fixable if you're unhappy with it. Thanks for a great starting video to the year Sam, hope you had a lovely Christmas and New Year, and look forward to the coming year
Yeah it's a shame mate - I had hoped it'd be better! Others have said the torque is better in their models, so possibly there's a fault with mine.... I will look into it some time!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Hey Sam you seem to be experienced in terms of restoring and fixing model engines so I have a quick question, are there any ways to upgrade an engines pulling power without using fractions tires? My hornby black 5 can’t pull more than 7 coaches round my layout (also has slow top speed).
Thx,
Weight is the only way to go really - see if you can add some inside the loco body, wheel balancing weights do a good job! Also, if you're good with power tools, see if you can cut some of the heavy chassis out of the tender, which produces lots of drag (only applies to the Railroad ones, mind you!)
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Looks really nice, i wouldn't mind one with LMS on the side rather than BR logo. The photo off the real one looks amazing
Thanks a lot Russell - yeah I'd probably prefer the LMS livery too actually! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Quite a lovely thing, isn’t it?
I noticed you said you didn’t know if the LMS used chrome. According to their official promotional film on 10000, it did indeed have chromium on it. It certainly explains the shine - and I think it only adds to the charisma and character this engine gives off!
Yay a train review Sam yay
Today I finally managed to get out most of my trains and I forgot that I had a cadadian pasicic the merchant navy loco lol

This pair of diesels was certainly a characterful duo. While I do feel a little bit bitter toward these engines at times (they DID start the diesel uprising to be fair) I can’t help but be happy that Bachmann has brought this strange unit to our layouts. Now to finish secondary school, get a job and consider buying one!
- The Caledonian
I agree - they must look amazing together! haha all the best with it mate - shouldn't take too long ;)

Hello Sam,nice Loco and striking livery, good review.
For lubricating the axle bearings try using ATF ( automatic transmission Fluid).
Great lubrication and great conductivity. use the same amount as normal lubricating oil: very little.
Thanks very much Ron, and good tip - I'm very careful with the lubricants I try, any idea how ATF reacts with plastics??
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
