What I love is that it looks like the sort of train model you'd get for £2 down the seaside but its £100.
I second that it’s not even got working rods
100% im quite sure i had a train just like that from one of those chinese $2 shops when i was a kid it came with a circle track that was so brittle when you pulled the tape off the track in the blister pack it cracked/snapped, same with as you joined them together. It was black/unpainted with red and gold writing on the side, think it said express on the cab. It ran on two aa's, all theyve done is change the mech and paint a train i got in 1998 for $2 with two carriages a tender and a 1.2m diameter circle of brittle track
I love when people reveal they are out of touch by like 30 years. £2? Clearly youre refeencing the 60s or something.
@@Colt45hatchback yeah but 2 quid in todays times? having a larf. You lot are all revealing your age.
@@proudofyourroots9575🤣 yah ok, sure. 10 bucks then in todays money. Maybe 15 for the full set.
That's the most American-British thing I've ever seen.
What about the S-160s
I'd go with pure American. This is the sort of tacky horrible rubbish they'd lap up
haha!! What a contradiction ;D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Canadian-British…hence the Canadian quarter on the front
@@SamsTrains I do wanna say something which is if you're confused on what the scale is that is the American version of double-O scale it makes no sense but yeah here in America we've got that as our double-O scale
For the same price of that engine + tender, I have two Hornby Princess Elizabeths, both limited edition, one of which comes as a complete train set. Who'd have though someone could make Hornby look like a absolute bargain!
Blimey! That's outstanding... I know which I'd be choosing!!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
...... and your Hornby locos will at least look British and not American locomotive design
@@scrappystocks and of course they'd be models of a locomotive actually named for the very queen in question, when she was still only a young ...princess.
As an American I find the cow catcher above and beyond hilarious. I'm sure the queen would love it.
I refuse to believe this model isn't an April Fool's joke, there's no way they didn't have any self-awareness in how bad this is.
haha me too - it was like a gift from the heavens when this turned up!! ;D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Sadly its not, the bradford exchange makes 2 other versions using the same toolings
'Long to reign over us' a purple recoloring
That omits the flatbed with golden carriage youd recieve with this version of the set
And 'gold rush express' which just recolours the entire thing to gold
😂
@@T_Hoog safe to say theyve had their moneys worth from these moldings then😄
The gift that (i assume from the glowing joy coming from the comments) does not give for long😃👍
Oddly, Hornby did a model of Winston Churchill's funeral train...
... In the attic...
"Supper's ready in half an hour!"
"What do you want to do?"
"Oooh, can we bury Mr. Churchill... Again??"
It could be worse... "Departing from Wien Westbhf, the one-way to Oswieczim."
The paint scheme makes it look more like a box of Danish chocolate than anything else. Though if there is a way to make her majesty wake up from her grave, then this locomotive would be it
Stop it! Danish chocolate and the box that comes with the chocolate are at least respectfully made! 😉
😂😂😂OMG
If you open it it’s full of a sewing kit.
From my brief 5 minute research into these guys’ models, it seems they yoink old Bachmann toolings and use them for themselves, the bell and cylinder thing come from Bachmann’s ON30 mogul, hence why it didn’t completely resemble your ten wheeler. Most of their products appear to have a similar quality in using models already on the market in ridiculous liveries for the most part so this review is just about on point.
The "cylinder thing" is a compressed air tank, for the brakes. Not even period-appropriate for the rest of the "loco" - - - and you'd have to be loco to buy it!
Sam you have this one so wrong, it is such a wonderful model, looks amazing and it is so obviously a collectors piece, the detail is excellent, how they can make these so inexpensively is beyond me, further more and it (sound of a scuffle) (shouting voices) (chains rattling) Hi Sam, this is Brian, John's keeper. We now have him securely back in his straight jacket so he will not be bothering you any more. ;) lol.
They might have at least made it a British engine.
That is the funniest comment I have ever read
Fun Fact: my great grandmother on my mom's side bought me a set from Hawthorne Village ages ago. It was a complete consist with a 2-6-0 loco plus tender, two coaches, and it came in a giant wooden box. It is a fun runner, but it was coated in this bizarre wolf theming, with lots of blue and silver therein. I never knew the price, but the thought of it absolutely terrifies me if they produced something as gaudy and tasteless as this. Thanks for unlocking some memories!
There's a lot of Hawthorne Village stuff like that
I actually have that exact set, it’s Called the moonlight express, or wolf art express. I only have the engine, tender, and combine coach.
It’s one of my more favorite sets made my Hawthorne village, and sadly, the only one I would consider ‘good’ as 99% of their products are lazy repaints of Bachmann engines.
@@aaronprewitt344 the only good one in my opinion is the O Canada one they have
@@CoalChrome there are some good ones though. I have a snow plow from them that is made of resin that is pretty good.
The Union flags are the right way up on one side and upside down on the other. (The wide white stripe should be at the top where it attaches to the flag pole).
You beat me to it - drat and double drat. Nothing like careful design, eh?
A Union Jack flown upside down is a distress signal. I think the model is crying for help 😅
@@stuartburton1167 Yes, but it is only crying for help from one side...
@@gordonmcmillan4709 Help on the side of the English, Buy me on the side of the Americans
@@paolomargini7904 They must really think someone will buy this. "Some of the people, all of the time" sort of thing.
I see some type of display dome car behind the coach. I am willing to bet the 4th issue is a model of the queen's casket under a plastic dome on a flatcar. With that being said this needs to be a series.
Yeah I wondered what that second coach was.
I’m feeling sadistic. Buy the whole set, then plan an amazing stunt for it. Something like the bus jump from the film speed. Followed up by some pyrotechnics that would actually honour the Queen.
Imagine the pitch meeting for this…
“Jerry, we need a way to commemorate the Queen. What do you propose we do?”
“Ok, hear me out. Let’s commemorate the Queen of England with the most American product we have, and claim it’s a high quality product to justify the ridiculously high price tag.”
“Jerry, you’re a genius!”
Jerry we'll save money by using one of our god awful trains!
"Jerry, we need a way to commemorate the Queen, what do you propose we do?"
"Do your mother and let me sleep!"
"Money, Jerry! There's money involved!"
"Ugh, FINE!" *FAAARRRRT* "Yeah, that oughta do it! Get to work already!"
"it's going to be hard to get people to pay that amount of money for this product"
"Actually it's going to be super, easy, barely an inconvenience"
@@devinpaul9026 I heard my name and now I'm here
hahaha well done Jerry - you're the perfect model railway manufacturer ;D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Ah, the rarely spotted Liberace Class locomotive! I almost want to fast forward to the end of year review video now, if only that were possible...
Ha Ha - I wish I'd thought of that one
What a beautiful heirloom to leave to your loved ones 🥰
Would rather by a fake Rolex from Wish and leave them that. Then again I would rather invest in something that would be respectable to give them instead.
hahaha that's hilarious... hopefully my great grandchildren can one day sell this and live off the profits...
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
@@SamsTrains problem is, who'd buy it? 🤣
That was a good one.!
It's a collectors item who wouldn't buy it! @@x-fun3149
Superbly grotesque and cynical piece that will appeal to those with absolutely no taste whatsoever. As I live in the States I would consider this train for a Christmas tree because it would be a hilarious talking point. The coin on the front is truly an inspirational touch. If the entire train set, including the tender, coach and track were $100 it would still be over-priced. I would love to know how many they sell.
They will sell thousands, there are a great many stupid people out there! It’s ghastly!
I'm a American but when I saw this I was like "Bloody Hell is this?!"
LOL
Ah so glad to see that the Martin Mart-Martison models have finally hit the market!!!
That video (particularly the dancing) was the best thing I saw on April 1!
Absolutely - I'm extremely proud to have been a part of it ;D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Ahead of schedule, yet!!
Even my 7 year old, has just gone off on a rant whilst watching that. 😂
These Hawthorne Village trains are actually hilarious. They've got one for basically every American president's electoral campaign, a lot of American football teams, Star Trek, Batman, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the American constitution, Coca Cola... the list is infinite and infinitely weird!
Reminds me of monopoly
This is certainly a model! The locomotive they used was definitely a choice. The box, the details, the chassis and the mechanism are all something! This is just a model. I'd personally give it a rating/10.
Oh yeah, definitely one of the “models” of all time.
this is perhaps even one of the models of all time
Your comment is one of the model reviews of all time.
@@WindowsXP_Gangster_Edition DAMN beat me to it
So many aspects of it are REALLY something. They are just not what most if not all would hope them to be.
Hi Sam! The Bradford Exchange normally flogs cheap knock-off 'collector' coins, like the horrid one on the front boilerplate 😮. The entire loco is over the top, and falls into the category of 'kitsch.' 😎
My thoughts exactly, when I heard Bradford Exchange.
I can think of another category!!!!!
A slight spelling correction: 'shitsch'.
@@rayshowsay1749 🤣
HEY! You can respect a good kitsch!, this is just...not trying at all.
12:33 The 'barrel' is an air reservoir for the locomotive's brakes. The B12's were fitted with air reservoirs briefly, which earned them the nickname 'backpackers'. The inclusion of that feature is more characteristic of US locomotive design practice.
Now I've never been into model trains, but this randomly came across my recommended and it's safe to say I'm sticking around... The hilarious reading of the certificate had me in stitches..
"jolly good show!"
...all of a sudden, painting a Bulleid Pacific purple for the Platinum Jubilee doesn't seem quite so bad! xD
Here's the real question though; what's the bigger cash grab, this or the Coca-Cola wagon? Bit like asking someone to choose their favourite disease, tbh :')
this
At least the purple pacific was a real thing… goodness knows what this is based on
This
The cola wagon insults a soulless company
This insults the *Queen of England, who is dead.*
@@SlantTrimreal the train isn't even british!
@@Ben31337l looks like one of those cheap dollar store train sets💀
Simon Kohler must be throwing a wobbly over missing the opportunity to do this! Now I know where Martin Martinson got his prototype from.
haha I think even Kohler would have more class than this ;D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
11:46 I looked up the company behind this thing. It's based out of a suburb of Chicago, Illinois that basically just exists to make money off anything that could potentially be a collectible. So....yeah no I'd almost bet money the Queen's body was still warm when the phone call went out to Shenzen to start production. And I'd almost bet money this thing was designed and ready to go before she even died.
I noticed immediately is was (sort of) American pattern - cowcatcher, cab, but oddly with a running plate...the drum mounted athwart the top is probably intended to be a sand hopper. Some American locos were like that. And the cylinders seem to be magically levitating.
This screams "USA" more than "God Save The Queen". There's no tender, either!
haha it totally does - very odd choice of prototype isn't it??
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
3 Star for value? What?
Sounds like when Soothouse threw "God Save the Queen" into Google Translate multiple time and came up with:
"God, save us from that luxurious beauty."
"She has lived too long. Must be stopped."
...
"Happy and burgers."
And I'd like to say how sorry we are. Well I want to. I doubt this company gives a damn.
Bradford Exchange used to use the Bachmann On30 range with questionable decoration. I assume they have found a cheaper supplier. At least you could repaint the Bachmann ones and end up with a reasonable narrow-gauge model!
It gives me Colorado & Southern vibes with the main reservoir on top of the boiler
The Bradford Exchange has a whole series of train sets including The Hogwarts Express. Which is why I don't understand why they didn't repurpose the Hogwarts Express for the Queen Elizabeth II royal legacy instead of using an American style steam engine. Also, you should review the Hogwarts Express from the Bradford Exchange next.
“Dear lord that is beautiful, this is certainly looks more better than even bachmann.” Said Hawthorne Village CEO
hahaha they do seem pretty deluded ;D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
😂😀🤣
"Well the queen just died, let's just throw a bunch of parts together to make something that looks like an engine, paint it blue and gold, and tell everyone it is the most exquisite loco ever made to show respect"!
"Great idea"!
'But what about the cow catcher?'
'Oh, it's alright. Just paint it gold with the rest of it. No-one will notice.'
Perfection... A well crafted tribute to a great queen XD packed full of features including, Sarcasm
What a fantastic locomotive! I'm really glad you had the chance to give us a detailed look at this Martin Mart Martinson locomotive! Easily an 11/10 that puts every other model that has ever been produced to shame!
In all seriousness though, I can't believe this ISN'T some cheap $1 wind up train sold at Dollar Stores (or whatever the equivalent is in the UK).
I don't want you to give these scammers more money... but I'd be lying if I didn't have the biggest grin on my face for 25 minutes straight as soon as I saw this in my feed.
Ah goodness. Nothing says God Save the Queen like an American engine! Maybe we'll get a German loco when something happens to the King!
The uk’s equivalent is a pound shop.
Fulgurex, as we speak, are stripping this extremely complex locomotive down in order to transfer some of Bradford Exchange's engineering brilliance into their own models...
MSRP: Well over $100 per piece to the set.
Secondhand price: Depends on the quality of liquor you'll be drowning yourself in after acquisition.
I would drink a pint of Coffin Varnish if I ever brought this.
🤣LOL!
Finally Sam got a hold on a Martin-Mart-Martinson loco haha😅!
But Sam, this is a collector's item! It will only go up in value! 😂😂 The Queen truly is turning in her grave.
A Few months ago, I was looking at the Flying Scotsman pocket watch that Bradford Exchange were selling, if it's anything like this train I think I dodged a bullet
From the beginning of the video I was instantly thinking "That looks like one of those cheap trains sold by the Bradford Exchange where they cash in on any and everything that happens whether it's a special event or sports team winning the championship" and sure enough it was... issue 1 always the loco which is what everyone wants, other issues you get an oval of track and a cheap DC controller plus "hand painted cars"
I love the cab detail and full working valve gear 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Superb attention to detail, I think the stylish coin on the front finishes it off beautifully. Definitely sorts the men from the boy's.
On a 'serious' note - the moulding represented Walschaert's gear. Being a US prototype(!), shouldn't it have been Baker gear?!?!?!?!?!? ;-)
thanks for taking one for the team Sam.
It's colour scheme reminds me of those tins of "Royal Danish" cookies you see around Christmas, for a £1, shocking my eyes are still burning
From memory Bradford Exchange has been around for many years (may have been called called Bradford (something else) when I used them. This would be 35 odd years ago when their specialty was commemorative plates. I had a Dambusters set which became collectors items. I also seem to remember they did a z gauge loco in a glass bell jar which ran in a circle on a snow scene setting. They used to advertise with full page ads on the back page of Radio Times.
Looks like now days they have been taken over by Wish...
I wouldn't invest any money into this company.
Viz always has parodies of those sorts of ads. Elvis Presley's Dambusters Clock Plate of Tutunkhamun with Cats springs to mind...
Oddly, the main railway station the City of Bradford used to be called Bradford Exchange...
i’ve ordered trains from the bradford exchange before. they’re a small branch off of Bachmann actually. they like to make decorative sets, not necessarily realistic paints 😂
Absolute genius. I'm getting the full set and increasing my loading gauge. GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!
Saw the thumbnail, and only one manufacturer came to mind... I wasn't wrong.😅 Thanks for this Sam.
Absolutely fascinated by who would normally buy things like this.
Seriously, who are the normal customers that are buying these?!
They are made by Bachmann. They make all matter of passenger sets in America for football and baseball teams. F9 locos and some passenger cars!
I'd be happy with just the beautiful packaging. And to be fair, I've definitely seen the queen travelling in a locomotive very similar to this. Many times. Driving it in fact.
I vote Sam makes a custom shell for this, along with a tender. Would make a great project since the chassis seems to run well!
I think his biggest problem will be finding either bearings or bushings for the main axels, they will be the weak link in the drivetrain.
I've heard of the Bradford Exchange before - they did a weird Doctor Who clock a few years back, and are currently selling a Doctor Who themed Teddy for like 200 quid. I think they just do collectables and stuff, probably cheaply made but sold at a premium because "collectable".
This is truly one of the model trains of all time.
So, I did some research and found out Bradford Exchange isn’t even a model train company.
They’re one of those companies that make knick knacks and licensed sculptures, mostly of Disney properties.
Now the “Hand crafted and hand painted” bullet point makes a bit more sense knowing what they actually make.
Brilliant Sam massively tongue in cheek video love it!
This feels like one of those cheap train “sets” you’d find at a dollar store
I mean all it needs is that speaker that plays that “WOOOO WOOOO chugachugachugachugachugachuga DINGDINGDINGDINGDINGDINGDINGDINGDING clikclikclikclik” sound and its complete
My heljan D0260 Lion finally arrived today and as you were asking how the model is in your reply to me on the last video I can tell you it’s a fantastic model especially with it being one of the one off prototype locomotives, decent video here Sam, interesting set.
Ahh fantastic - very glad it turned out okay!! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Once in a while the youtube algorithm brings me back to you and it makes me happy every time.
Baldwin 2-6-0 Mogul Class. The "barrel" is the air reservoir tank for the brake system. The bell mounting is okay for this loco. The Westinghouse brake steam pump is missing.
The shapes of the sand dome (behind funnel/stack) and the larger steam dome is prototypical, as is the steam driven electric generator.
It's a curious curiosity. I won't comment on its modeling defects.
I see a lot of these kinds of things marketed in train magazines. Usually they're based around a holiday or sports team or have some other gaudy theming to them, and they're marketed as keepsakes. Some people but them as investments despite them having no real value. I did not, however, anticipate Hawthorne Village making anything like this.
I had a local person try to sell me his "colts" train set for 800.00. I laughed at him. 😅😂
You know what you have done don’t you?
You have bought the new most popular (possibly ever) request loco for your live streams…
It’s certainly my next choice 😂
It looks very similar to my Christmas train except that it is green, red and silver and cost $39 including 2 coaches and a circle of plastic track. Battery operated though, and has a light in the front. Everyone likes to watch it going round and round the Christmas tree. :-)
I see many similar things in my train magazines but it was an entire train set, with a loco and the usual 3 or 4 rail cars all with a special print on it.
Your looking at the future of Hornby Sam.
Hi Sam, yeah - Hawthorne Village/Bradford Exchange are well known for the bloody awful stuff which is based on Bachmann's On30 Mogul/Ten-Wheeler locomotives. To say it's awful is an understatement, and as one observer pointed out about their previous...erm... "attempt" at "Forever England" (with Union Flags, I hasten to add) - "What screams British more than an American style locomotive made in China?"
Edit: I wouldn't buy the rest of the set - the tender is going to be the same as the one on the Bachmann Christmas set - save yourself the heartache (and the costs!)
Nothing captures the sheer Britishness of a commemorative locomotive of the late Queen than a cow catcher on the front of it. 🤣🤦♂
What’s awful about them. I am curious
Hi Sam, it's as ridiculas as Hornby once relasing a Hall class locomotive in red, naming this "Lord Westwood" and displaying the company's telephone number on the tender!
On30, the mechisim is quite valuable for modelers of On30 just for the pilot truck and truck mount
Other than that it us just a C&S 2-6-0 painted weird.
Again it is O scale Narrow-gauge 30” aka On30
I lost it at the "deed of transfer". This was clearly some leftover Christmas set they found stacked up in some warehouse and rushed to the paint shop. I wonder if you scratched the "remembrance" sticker off you'd find Jubilee wording.
Such an English style of steam engine! Very common on UK rails.
They could at least have used one of the USA 0-6-0Ts the US left behind after the war. And obviously they don't need a bloomin' tender either!
The Bradford Exchange is also responsible for the Elvis cuckoo clock. I thought I recognised that famous quality. One for the money two for the show. 😂😂😂
It's absolutely a product of/commissioned from Bachmann, you can see it in the 'American' sets they produce, the track is either Bachmann E-Z or Walthers Power-loc, the locomotives are the Old tooling Bachmann F units, you can even catch some Bachmann sets in whole, like the N-scale "Super Chief".
Another thing on that 'either or' track situation, they sell EZ track accessories, like the crossing gates, while giving out Power-loc Track, there is an adaptor set for that produced by Walthers, but Bradford doesn't sell it on their site.
You should try the bachmann 0-6-0 soda can. I completely forgot what's it called, so that what I called it because it really looks like a soda can lol.
Cheers Jasper & Willow
That sounds cool - thanks for the tip!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
What about that
CPR Royal Hudson’s ? !
At 5:20 I was 100% thinking you were gonna put E next to the vil, but villains works to lol. Plus, it's even more funny knowing that the loco is made of parts from multiple different Bachmann on30 locomotives, truly "handcrafted," huh.
In terms of grading Sam, can I suggest, like exam boards of old, you add a 'U' to your list, U as in ungraded/gradable.... this would be a U -......
Great review as always. Cheers.
When I saw this on the April Fool's video, I genuinely thought it was a prop you made by redecorating a toy. I'm shocked it has a DCC socket at all. I've seen this type of sales strategy for "collectible" trains on a couple websites, and it seems sketchy to say the least. I kind of would like to see you review the tender so we can see the locomotive get its matching tender and also how absurd it gets, but to be honest I don't think anyone could blame you if you don't want to buy the other parts of the set at their price.
"I would only recommend this to you if you were insane"...Well said!! A good April's fools product. By the way, again kudos to you for the spoof video with this very loco; excellent video!!
What I find funny is that Sam replied to a non member comment and did not reply to a member one
I’m just starting a online used model shop.
I promise make a tacky train in your honour, as you have been a inspiration to me.
Your sense of humour aligns with mine so perfectly. What a lovely, vile model
"The Bradford Exchange is an American producer and seller of collectible goods, jewelry, sports memorabilia and apparel"
What? An American company is behind this. Never would have guessed 😂😂
haha I know right... not at all blindingly obvious ;D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
A wonderful review of a marvelous travesty - you should use it in your opening titles from now on! Certainly collect the tender and coaches in deference to the Old Queen, now sadly departed - like the last train to Clarksville! Thanks for uploading.
Hmm, "a marvelous travesty", that sounds like a very useful phrase, quite literary even. Will have to remember it.
I was going to say, “gaudy”, but some of the American (4-4-0 wheel arrangement) locomotives that took part in the “Golden Spike” ceremony in Utah were all shiny and brass-plated, too, though I don’t recall any of them being painted blue.
The Central Pacific locomotive ‘Jupiter’ was painted predominantly blue, although it had a black boiler jacket.
I've just checked Crawley's 'The Great Northern Railway in Focus', and on p.54 is illustrated a Baldwin H1 2-6-0, bought by Doncaster when The Works was full for new orders. Obviously a different wheel arrangement and w/o Walschaert's valve gear, but the actual modelling of the area around the front running plate and cylinders / steam chests is remarkably accurate LOLOL.
Hahaha loved you April fools video.
I've got the balancing coaches and pumpkin mobile
haha thank you so much! And that's awesome - hope you're happy with them! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Oh. My. Life! This is frankly the most amusing thing IN THE WORLD!! I heard this was made by Bachmann though idk. Did you see the latest email I sent? 😊
haha thank you!! It's extremely amusing isn't it?! I don't know about whether it's Bachmann - certainly possible!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
It's not made by Bachmann, Its made by some Chinese manufacturer who are using the moulds that were used to make a model for Bachmann, It has happened before to other brands, LGB for example who have models made in China.
@@garrymartin6474 Ahh that's fascinating - thanks for that - as you can tell I had no idea!
@@garrymartin6474 I've heard that when the Bosses go home, the entire production turns over to fulfilling orders secretly secured by the "night team". Before the day shift returns, everything is swept and cleared up and standard fulfillment continues. All done with military precision (unlike the models) 👍
@@garrymartin6474makes sense. So it’s old tooling
I lost it when you read the "Certificate of Authenticity." 🤣
She was our Longest Regining British Monarch.
I think our late queen would come back just to haunt their bums off for this monstrosity. Well you know how you've done the worse to commemorate HM, now you have to review the platinum jubilee by Hornby ( I believe it's the R30231West country no. 70 "Elizabeth II")
At least that was based on something that actually happened! 🤣
I'd like to hope she would give it the same caustic look she gave Trump. That is an expression I will treasure forever.
Hilarious episode. You’re at your satirical best here. Thanks for a few laughs out loud!
A good representation of many engines seen on UK railways. I have to get one.
Apparently the frames of these (and likely the mechanisms) are made by Bachmann, but everything beyond that is apparently done by Hawthorne Village...
I suppose there's also the fact that the people who are likely gonna be buying these aren't exactly gonna be running them...
Will you try more Bradford Exchange items? 🤣
Maybe you should try their Hogwarts Express next.
haha possibly!! ;D
It’s stolen Hornby and/or Rivarossi
@@SouRwy4501Productions Could be licensed, but probably stolen....
Get the Star Wars set
@@InventorZahran What did you expect from commie china after all they are the worlds biggest rip off artist! stealing licenses is second nature to them.
This is so unbelievable I am lost for words. How you stayed sane I do not know.
I need to get one of these and put it on my display shelf along with my Elvis Presley Dambusters Clock Plate of Tutankhamun and my Life of Christ in Cats decorative plate.
The Bradford Exchange mechanical Christmas tree with train is a hoot!
This "issue" sales system reminds me of magazines with such as a model Tyranasarus skeleton, the whole thing cost a fortune. On another note, I remember Churchill's funeral, his coffin was really conveyed in a Pullman brake, I don't remember Tri-ang producing a special release complete with coffin and pall bearers.
Bradford exchange trains are a hit or miss. My dad for one Christmas bought me the Montreal Canadians Express and it was actually quite nice . Though it came with A Bachman Alco F7 A and B unit with two passenger cars. The locomotive had nice details, livery and to this day still runs supper well. Though the hawthorn village trains can very gaudy and kitchy. This one....is definitly not there best works....
Though the F7 sets they came out with are actually pretty sweet and fun 😊
You know, at first glance, that model actually looks really good. It's got very beautiful colors, is fairly shiny, and overall looks quite nice.
With all the mentions of Bachmann, I was waiting for you to reveal that yes, these ARE Bachmann locos made specially for Hawthrone Village or Bradford Exchange or whatever label they put on it now.
