- Next I need a Class 105 or 108! For months and months, loads of people told me they wanted to see me review the Class 158 by Bachmann - so here it is! And very nice it is too, I must say (the smart Arriva livery helps lol) Enjoy!
-------------------------------------------------------------------
All video footage has been recorded by me. Sound effects used in the intro sequence and scoreboard ending are edited together from sound clips recorded by me at local railway stations and other railway locations. All channel graphics and animations are my own.
7 years later, Bachmann have finally released that new 158
Spirit V70 dam it! Beat me to it’
I have a real Frankenstein's monster of a 158. The power car was fitted with internal lights and overhauled by someone before I bought it on eBay. The dummy unit, however, I bought in bits and assembled myself. A window was missing, which was annoying.
All in Regional though.
kk be
Over the last few months, I've come to realise how much I love 158s. 159s, which are practically the same with an extra coach, are great too. 158 bashing never gets old.
When I first came across this channel, I liked comparing the view counts of this and the 170, and as Arriva operated through my home town with the 158 I always wanted this to get more views than the 170 video, and today it does. I feel quite honoured
I have got 2 Bachmann class 158s in the New Arriva Trains Wales Livery both with different numbers there are fantastic I have got 4 Bachmann class 158s in total

14:38 I never knew that a class 58 is a dmu
Bachmann are bringing out the East Midlands Trains & Regional Railways class 158... Hopefully this will be out late 13 early 14. They are a brand new build with DCC ready (regional railways is DCC sound fitted) looking forward to them both
5 ears later: Where are they?!
I definitely recommend them, they're great! And yes, apparently the odd looking green isn't helped by the white skirting board - it would mean changing the camera settings just for Arriva liveried models lol - maybe I will see what I can do the next time I review a model wearing Arriva colours.
Excellent review Will as always however.....I wouldn't expect anything less from you! Top-man again! Cheers, John.
thank you for the comment!
thats the east midlands livery by bachmann
I'm in the Bachmann Club! I really enjoy being a member. You get really nice magazines and exclusive offers!
Lovley loco nice vid :D
Wow You've really improved your reviews, Great job ! I love that bird's eye shot that you do now.
Keep up the good work, your videos are very enjoyable to watch !
I see Class 158s ALL the time in Hartlepool. The First North Eastern livery (the old one with the purple and white stripe) and the new livery (white carriages with a purple swirl) is a mere shadow of what it once was
Your first favourite livery. Good English!
I wish I could come to your house
Your camera really doesn't like Arriva blue does it! :) Great vid, I remember when the 158 units first entered service and you're right, they were very prestigious and luxurious for their time!
I've got this 'Exact' model Arriva Livery Dmu Class 158 /class 153 & class 150' and now waiting for royal mail to complete my fleet with hornby's class 142 pacer in arriva! Keeping them Pristine/Mint in my Glass cabinet for static display! 👍
Really enjoyed watching the video..looking forward to the next review..makes it a bit easier choosing my next loco !
I'd give this DMU 10\10
I live in Exeter next to st David's railway station and I go to Cardiff and see my best train the class 158,150,159,43,153 my best train classes EVER!!!
I love class 158, I really want one, but not sure on livery but I like Northern rail the most tbh!
Nice vid and a nice addition!
I'm waiting bachmann for that tpe 185!! :D
I just thought I would have a look on Wiki for the definition of Multiple Unit to make sure and these are the two main definitions;
'The term multiple unit or MU is used to describe a self-propelled carriages capable of coupling with other units of the same or similar type and still being controlled from one driving cab.'
'Single self-propelling carriages (also called railcars, rail motor coaches or railbuses) can be referred to as multiple units if capable of operating with other units.'
When can you review the Freightliner or Colas Rail class 70 by bachmann?
I have a regional railways class 158 but i would prefer an arriva but i could not find an arriva version. Do you want to swap.
Definitely! You won't regret it. Bear in mind the new one is coming out soon too.
These trains are not toys they are a hobby
interesting! I hear the opposite from shop owners! lol I shall keep an eye on the situation.
perfect! how ever i do miss these going down the cross city line (n)
thank you for the info! You learn something new every day!
Can you connect it to other 158
I expect so
There were/are 4 variations on the Arriva 158 livery: the original ex-Wales & West silver and blue with just the Arriva logo, this livery with the white "horns" on the front, a similar green without the horns, and the new dark blue / green livery used on the re-furbished units.
Notice how with the 158 you can see the seats in the motor car Will! You complained about the 150 having blacked out windows. Well the 158 doesn't! Great review
i have got one of them this is the third train that really got me in to the hobby
This is amazing will i loved the part at 14:49 with all the LMS engines in line you said "i love this class 1 158 instead of 158"
14:49
I like Bachmann class 220, 158 and 170 however none are DCC ready or fitted. It's so annoying.
Not quite - 158s were done in 2 and 3-car sets ( - the 159s are technically 158 units that were rebuilt with additional interior features like 1st Class and retention toilets for Network South East. 3-car 158s include 158798, 158752 - 158759 and the pesudo 3-car units now used by FGW designated 158/9
i am in the collectors club, you get a free wagon and access to exclusive events and models, you also get a quaterly magazine, but its easily the better collectors club to be in
Can you please do the harton's beilhack snowphloe wagons Stratford shark opening if you can please let me know thank you
Nice looking DMU, I am hoping to pick up both of the new 158s when they come out.
The workhorse of the Cambrian Coast line... Nice
Been a Bachmann club member continuously for the last seven years, unlike the intermittent Hornby membership. Bach's magazine is far superior to Hornbys, you get a free catalogue and a nice calender each Xmas. Their PO wagon that you get for joining is much more useful for a "serious" railway modeller. Only negative is the lack of a members discount in shops (never used the Hornby one anyway).
I'd recommend joining the Bachmann Club as I'm pretty happy with it. I was thinking of either joining that or the hornby club but from what I've recently read I think I did the right thing. There seems to be a lot of people coming out the hornby club as the impression I get is that it is going downhilll. You get some good articles in the magazine and rather surprisingly quite a lot are about the 'real railway' rather than models but that's no concern with me.
In Hull we have northern rail c2 coaches on most of their class 158,144 and 153
+Kai Poole we have both Northern and East Midlands Trains class 158s in Sheffield.
+Matthew Robertson I have first great western train livery
+Cheeky Rollins It is very rare for us to get a 158, all we get is the 333, 321 and 322.
I used to work for Arriva and I used to find that the Pantone colour they use for the aquamarine is often difficult to pick up by cameras, photographs and even printers ! I think it's just one of those things!
I have travelled on several 158s, usually on the Stockport - Sheffield trans pennine line. Not a bad ride, though Trans Pennine Express Air Con didnt usually seem to work, found it more comfortable to sit on the jump-seat in the compartment between the main passenger cabin and the drivers cab when the main cabin was full as it was often cooler than the main passenger cabin.
oh Thailand brought 158s in meter gauge as well :D
The couplers are the standard coupling of mostly each coach/locomotive.
first great western
I’ve got a regional railways 158, and it’s really good!
Aside from charters, you will only ever see four types of train at Swansea. ATW 175, ATW Sprinters (150/3/8), ATW Pacer and FGW HSTs.
158's work on my local railway
I am in the bachman collectors club when you join you get a train, my train is a nice little class n2 in GWR livery, the one in oxford where I live is very well organized and he people there are very welcoming
Excellent job mate
Hey I just went on the Bachmann website and saw that they have their new 158 out in DCC fitted only. They are in East Midlands Trains and Regional Railways livery.
Go to Guage master it is the biggest model railway shop in the uk in Ford and I have been there
Excellent review! Very smooth performance there :)
I really want a 158 but I'm going to wait for the new tooling that Bachmann announced this year. Regional Railways Express livery of course.
to be honest it's not just the fact that one of the units is blacked out - it's also a very noisy model! All I'm saying is sometimes Bachmann pay more attention to the outside of their models than they do the insides.
Ding Dong “The next train to depart from platform 2 will be the 15:46 Bachmann Arriva trains wales service to Manchester Piccadilly calling at Manchester Airport and Manchester Piccadilly when boarding the train please mind the gap between the train and the platform edge”
wow I've been on this train to Wolverhampton from Shrewsbury be4😃😂😉😞😭😠
ahhh right! Thanks for the info - don't feel quite so bad now haha
Nice review :) its a shame the camera couldnt pick up the correct colour of ATW's livery. I'm planning on geting a new Bachmann 158 in Arriva Trains Wales livery, to go with my 150 and 153 :)
I believe the new bachmann class 158 will be coming out in regional railways livery, it will be great to compare it to the old 158 a
bachmann collectors club is brillient
I think the green on the camera looks great on her
It isnt Markling But It's Roco Or Fleishman coupling in the Netherlands
haha thank you - will do!
Very nice loco, so smooth
RE: Air Con on class 158s...
Air Con? When it's working! Bit like the heating! They both work only when the opposite is needed! Or not at all. I remember being stuck on one at Doncaster a few years ago. It was at least -8 outside! I do like them though. 153s and 150s also
Good video. Just wish Bachmann would make them DCC ready!
that's quite a long road, with the southern end of it practically coming out at Crewe Works if I'm not mistaken.
I've got a 158 reganal railways
I thought promises were meant to be fulfilled.
Very good. You should get the 108 DMU by bachmann in BR Green with speed whiskers. It has interior lighting as well as head and tail ones and thats just with DC! . Bachmann DMU's are amazing!
I agree with you, but multiple unit means that the unit itself can be coupled to other multiple units of similar class. For example in my area, you often see a 155 with a 153 tagged on the back. Besides, the 153s used to be 155 DMUs anyway until they were 'sliced up' as you might say! It is very confusing.
can you do the HORNBY thomas please
Exactly - proving that it can be done! So why did they not bother with the 150? I just don't know.
the "beard" looks like the v for vendeta mask
Great review - my favoutite too. I have 3 - the arriva one, regional railways 3 car and network southeast 3 car - they're superb.
Nice review, im guessing these are like a subway train? If so I think I shal pick up some in the northern livery!
I have the pendolino that has this couplings
you can see the eccses oil on the shasey
Thank you for the comment! I shall do my best.
various model shops really. I try to shop around at many different ones.
I think this model predates the 'block of ice' packaging.
I'm afraid I do not know where you can buy models of trains that run in Portugal.
What is the collectors club
If you look at 15:50 onwards, you can see that the camera changes the livery from turquoise to lime green. :?
Thanks John! Thank you for the comment!
I have a few of these that I have converted to DCC and replaced the lights with LED's they run very very well.
im in the bachman collectors club and it is amazing
not in a rush to. Have loads of locos to do before a model like that.
Mine is the First Group livery class 158 I also have it on my Rail works simulator I used to travel on these on Grimsby Manchester service we now have the class 185`s
I wish Bachmann would make a class 323 in Central trains livery. That would be awesome.
It's not a strange coupling. It's a standard HO coupling. Every HO European train has them or a compatible version (except Fleischmann who like to be difficult).
I LOVE that idea. Thanks for the comment!
and that oil - God they are generous! I could have filled a bottle of oil with my 150 out the box
thank you!
nice video once again :-D
