yes! now he’s reviewing a real engine not a toy!
haha exactly! ;D
Just watch as for the next review he whips out a Bachmann Junior loco lol
Still toy like top speed for kiddie winkies given the gearing. Detracts from lower speed torque issues.
In my view there is No Excuse for any working model to have tight spots. Not sure about the connection between the locomotive and the tender. Will it become loose over time?
@@mikeking2539 My thoughts.
Every time I hear that intro music that is playing somewhere other than your videos, I immediately think:
"Sam's Trains."
And smile to myself! ☺️
haha that's lovely to hear - maybe I use it too much! ;D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
@@SamsTrains There's no such thing as overusing classical music!
Wasn't expecting this with the live stream yesterday
Thanks Luke - it's been a long day - started filming at 7! ;D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Me neither
Oh nice sam, thanks for this, I was looking at getting one of these for Christmas, but couldn’t find any good reviews, and yours are always good and trustworthy.
Thanks Henry - they literally only just came out - but yes I highly recommend it - awesome model! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
@@SamsTrains ye sorry, I meant the class.
The one I was waiting for! So glad there is finally a decent GWR loco out there, high hopes for the Prairie now! Re: the chimney, Dapol have gone for the 63xx variant, which like the 53xx and 73xx had cast iron rather than copper capped chimneys and therefore usually painted safety valve covers too. Some metal bright work on the Prairie however would be the icing on the cake. Now to go and buy one...
Absolutely - this is what Hornby's GWR locos should be for the price, instead of all that cheap plastic! Duly noted on the chimney - many thanks for the info!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
That's an incredible user manual! My Bachmann USA locos only come with a parts diagram (which is usually inaccurate) and a page of guidelines and warnings.
I agree - remarkably thorough!! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Mine has just arrived. Totally stunning, very very very impressed. Made in England as well. I am going to buy many more of their models!
Absolutely beautiful loco, amazing review as always.
Keep it up Sam! :D
Thanks a lot mate, glad you enjoyed it! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
Churdward certainly knew how to make a great locomotive. Here we are in the 21st century with Dapol equally creating the exact same beautiful locomotive just on a smaller scale. Lovely review and for a reasonable price. Great Video Sam : )
Yeah - he sounds like a total expert! They did a really good job! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Great review as always! Regarding the uneven running at low speed, I had the same problem with a Hornby Hall (one of the Hogwarts ones, actually) at the hobby shop where I work. It turned out that the crosshead guides were slightly too tight, and bending them outwards just a miniscule amount helped quite a bit. Might be something to try.
That's interesting Mike - thanks for the tip, I'll look into this!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Well done Dapol! Nice to be able to say that. Thorough review as always - cheers Sam!
Thanks Jon - very nice indeed to be able to say that... I had a feeling it would be so!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Looks lovely, I’m looking forward to receiving mine once in stock
Fantastic Darren, really hope you enjoy it!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
I like a loco that tends to slow on gradients, it makes it more realistic.
Yes that's true, in practice it's not always a bad thing! But I can't praise a model for weakness in the mechanism! xD
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
That is lovely
I agree! :D
This was released on my birthday thank you Sam
Happy birthday!! :D
Great Review Sam! I’ve waited so long for this loco, can’t wait to order mine!
Ahh fantastic - well they are excellent, I can confirm it! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Sam u should watch Lazer Jet’s live at 6:00 tonight
Ooh that sounds good! :D
£160 is still a lot of money , to some of us , these things should be perfect !!
That's true Fred, but at £135, it was much closer to perfection than I expected and hoped it to be!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
@@SamsTrains It's a 2-6-0 tender loco , it's not as if no one has ever made one before its not like a 4-8-4 4-8-4 garrett ! they should be consistant by now !
£160 is not a lot of money for a decent loco,don’t be a penny pincher
@@MrBinxter they need to be better , they have been making trains long enough .
A fantastic loco from Dapol there, very happy with mine, glad you like yours too!
Thanks mate - very much so - glad you got a good one too! :D
What a beauty with some wonderful inovations. Very nice indeed. Go on Sam, spoil yourself and get one of the lined versions as well! Great review, thank you.
Thanks Mike, I agree with that! I'm really thinking about it! ;D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Hey Sam I have been working on my layout today applying scatter.I am 12 start early I guess I have been collecting for 6 years now
My grandad has one of them on order too so when he puts the chip in well I will have to run it in 🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫
That's amazing James - glad you made a start! Enjoy it, and good luck with the rest! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
10:52 I’ve never seen anything like this before. What other locomotives have that feature or is it just this one?
I've never come across any others like it - could well be Dapol's own invention! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
That will be the standard feature very soon
The DJM 14xx class has the DCC socket in the smoke box and you access it by taking the door off
Interesting
Iirc Dapol used the same system on at least one of their O gauge locos. I think the DJM 1361 also has something similar with the smokebox.
Thanks Sam, another fantastic video! You're the best!
Thanks so much Simon! :D
Thank u Sam for making the whole channel we all love u sooo much xxx
Awhh no problem - that's so lovely to hear! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Hi Sam, first to comment, I guest I am in Dapol position😁
haha, love it!! xD
Those moguls remind me of James
haha yeah me too! :D
Nah, it’s Lizzie The Mogul
SAYS WHO?
Great review Sam 👍
Thanks Jack! :D
You found a real jem there! And for the right quid too!
I agree - really impressed by this one! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Can you start reviewing Irish, French, and German engines?
That'd be fantastic - any suggestions?
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
£220! The precedent by any chance?
Indeed yes!
When you look at the specifications and detail variants catered for, the price isn't as bad as it sounds when you just take it at face value. Also bear in mind that it has been commissioned by Locomotion Models/Rails, rather than being a direct Bachmann product.
@@SamsTrains The Precedent/Jumbo is a joint commission by Rails and Locomotion Models as a special edition and is only being manufactured by Bachmann who are not, as far as I know selling it, so the selling price is set by Rails and Locomotion NOT Bachmann. The Dapol mogul will be a mainstream model, not a special edition, so many more will be made which will therefore be reflected in the lower price.
omg i love the moguls in real life. i just love their look! it looks like a 2800 but with a 2-6-0 wheel configuration, and i LOVE the 2800s! and i also love the 2-6-0 wheel configuration! that's why they are one of my favorite locos ever. and my favorite GWR loco probably.
Me too - they look so lovely don't they?! Glad you liked them! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
You were super quick with this Sam. Great review
haha thank you - it was a long day! xD
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Great review as always.
Thank you! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Received mine today. BR lined green livery late crest. Excellent model. Runs well straight out of box. Good crawl on DCC. Two buffers fallen off in box but easily refitted.
Fantastic news - sorry to hear about the buffers though - not so good!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Wow that is one of (if not) the most innovative, awesome locos I've ever seen in model form
I agree Kyle - very impressive stuff! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Hi Sam, great review. Pleased to say mine arrived today from Hattons, only took 2 weeks to get to Brisbane.
Loco is beautiful in BR lined green and is a fantastic runner. Must be one of the best of 2020. My wife ran it down to a very very slow crawl...
Thanks Stephen, that doesn't sound too bad really, what a service! Great to hear you're happy - they are really wonderful!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Thanks Sam, enjoyed the review and have now ordered.
Thanks very much Jonathan, really hope you enjoy yours!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
A stunning model! Awesome cab details too. Cheers Onno.
Thanks a lot Onno - appreciate it! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Awesome video sam
Thanks AJ! :D
@@SamsTrains no problem
Now that's a very pretty model. I just love that matte green GWR livery
Me too Mark - it looks amazing doesn't it?!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Hi Sam, I want to say thank you for the shoutout on Fridays stream it really meant a lot please carrying what you doing and please stay safe. 🙂🙂
That's my pleasure mate, thanks so much for tuning in! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Hey, Sam. The locomotive is fantastic and Dapol have really been ahead of the times with this model especially with the connection between the loco and tender, it looks almost like a connector to an iPod/iPhone charger or something and the smoke box with the DCC socket to remove and put in, it’s a fantastic idea! Probably the best loco to buy from Dapol, so far.
I agree Lewis, some wonderful innovations for sure! Yes it does look like an I phone charging port, lol! ;D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Some nice innovative touches like the tender connection to the locomotive and the sliding decoder in the boiler. Well done Dapol!
I agree Chris - they did a great job didn't they?! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
You do a fantastic job Sam keep the good work up cheers
Many thanks Geoffrey, that's very kind of you!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Lovely loco there, I'm currently toying with getting myself a Ruston Shunter sometime
Ahh fantastic - you wouldn't regret that, they're fantastic! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Sam, you are spoiling us with these Great Western engines. Great review of a lovely model.
haha thanks very much Keith, really glad you enjoyed it! :D
Cheers,
Sam :)
Oh WOW! This model looks amazing even if there are gearing issues. Certainly beautiful to look at! Great video as always! Cheers mate :)
Thanks a lot mate - yes overall I thought this was top notch, glad you liked it! Hope you're doing okay- having fun meddling with the tea box? ;)
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
@@SamsTrains yeah I'm doing okay thanks mate. I didn't do that with the tea I just found it and reported it!
.... WOW. That locomotive is absolutely stunning! I like the easy to couple tender! (wish I could get one but it’s hard to find in the country I live in...) This is incredibly innovative and pretty good detail! Anyway nice video Sam!
Thanks Cole - it is pretty amazing! See what kind of postage rates Hatton's can do for you - they ship worldwide quite reasonably! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Good to see innovation in design
I love how this loco looks!
Me too! :D
Awesome video today Sam really really beautiful locomotive I am gonna have to get one
Thanks James, yes they're well worth it!! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Bull man!!!!! So good to see him again!!!! Yeah in the strength of this review I am likely to buy one..... it’s a well thought out model!
haha I agree! Great to hear that - it is a beautiful design! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Hi Sam! Just wanted to say thanks for commenting on my video on my d16!
No problem Tee - it was a good video! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
oh yes a superb model. i cant get over the price what you get is blinding. has to be a must. cheers sam . all the best tom.
Thanks Thomas - I thought so too - top value for money! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Hiya Sam I love the reviews!
Thanks so much Isaac! :D
This a game changer with fitting the decoder Sam , lovely loco .......Peter
I agree Peter - really clever stuff! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Mine is in the post, and I am so glad it scored so well! I needed to replace a Bachman one which cannot run due to wheels slipping on axles. Really looking forward to its arrival.
Marvellous mate, really hope you enjoy it! No such nonsense with this model, very fortunately!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Locos with lots of metal are really great hope to see some more in the future
I agree - makes a big difference to the quality in my opinion!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Someone may have already pointed it out, (beautiful loco and must have one btw) but the tender had two pairs of wheels locking up on the slow running probably not helping the running characteristics! Do love it though, very impressed!
Yes you're right - I wonder if the pickups are putting on too much pressure?!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Hello Sam, very, very good video, superb. I have enjoyed this one immensely. The livery and the mechanism is first class. Very tempting. I will have to do some research. Thank you Sam 🐖🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🚄🚅
Thanks so much Mark - yeah definitely - they did a stunning job on these!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
That looks nicely detailed…!
It really is! :D
Just the engineering that went into this model is very impressive, I'm very impressed by how the electrics on this loco have been done.
I agree with you - very impressive indeed! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Pity sam, such a nice loco, great review I was hoping you would do this one 👍
Thanks Ciaran - I'm glad I did! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Good one Sam . Love to support Dapol on this . As you say bringing this in at £135 while Bachmann are now up at £200+ deserves success
Thanks Russell - I agree - reckon that price is very very reasonable!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)

Hi Sam I agree with you hole heartily on your review one point especially was the dcc set up is brilliantly done. and yes worth the money. Great review Sam thank you. I a may get me on of those some day.
Thanks a lot Tony, glad to hear that - I'd definitely recommend it! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
It is an amazing model
Anyways have a good one Sam!
I agree! You too mate :3
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Another great review same keep them coming
Thanks very much Dave, I'll try! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Great review Sam it does look very nice but then again dapol are very good when it comes to detail and performance
Thanks David - they certainly have been in O gauge - but it's been very hit and miss in OO so far - this was a total break from tradition!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
@@SamsTrains no i have to disagree there Sam I have 2 dapol diesel locomotives in OO gauge and ever since I have owned them they have performed flawlessly my 121 has had the detail parts fitted on both sides and not needed the steps cutting down and my 68 has been one of my best models with no derailments or anything needed doing to it which proves that there locomotives in OO are some of the best on the market
Great review, these things are almost Bachmann standard but at a decent price. Mine arrived today (Late Crest version). Mine arrived with the front buffers and smokebox dart loose in the box. Not broken, just no glue!!!!!
Thanks mate! Although I don't know about Bachmann standard - full bearings, proper tender pickups, 5 pole motor, flywheel, etc, etc... Bachmann rarely offer all of this on their considerably more expensive offerings! A real pity you had to suffer a quality control fail though - sorry to hear that - were you able to sort it out?
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
@@SamsTrains It was easy enough to put back right. Just didn't expect to have to put my model back together before running in!!
Great video. Great loco I hope Bachmann are taking notes
Thanks Stewart, that would be nice! :(
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Yes that's is look new box set mate. He's revered cool
haha!! :D
six words
love it! love it! love it!
haha fantastic - my words exactly! ;D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Amazing review on the Dapol GWR Mogul steam locomotive! I have to say, the detail on this model looks very impressive, especially for a brand new locomotive! It’s unfortunate that the performance let’s this thing down a little bit, but other than the performance, it still looks really amazing! I’m gonna give this a B+! 😃👍
Thanks so much - yes I'm mightily impressed by this loco - they did an amazing job overall, despite the performance!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Good review!
Thank you! :D
Hi Sam! It’s a great looking loco, really good attention to detail & finished beautifully! I love the plug & play nature of the DCC connector & the tender connection!
DCC has not been widely adopted in Japan, but a large amount of models are built to accept chips, either by similar plug & play or by replacing PCBs, however only Kato marks it’s plug & play models as DCC ready in Japan!
It’s quite ridiculous that so many every day consumer devices are getting simple plug-in interfaces, but there are still so many models coming without even having basic provisions for DCC.
Thanks very much Ewan - me too, that was very clever! Yes you're right - it's very questionable isn't it?
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Hi Sam, one of your best presentations. super loco.
Thanks so much Richard, appreciate it! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Great vid yay for dapol
Thanks mate! I know right - at long last!! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
it's here!
Yes it is! :D
Really good video
Thank you! :D
THAT TRAIN LOOK SO GOOD
I agree! :D
A beautiful loco let down a bit by performance, very fair review Sam.
Thanks a lot Philip - glad you thought so! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Top marks to Dapol on this one. It looks gorgeous and is at a decent price. Fingers crossed for their Wainwright D class which is coming next year.
Absolutely - they did such a good job! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Thank you for an excellent review. It is worth noting, in Dapol's favour, that only the wide, parallel chimneys had a copper cap. It would be nice to see one of course, but Dapol's chimney is of the narrow cast-iron pattern, and perfectly prototypical. I have of course ordered one but still can't get a decent chassis for my old Mainline one, whose body has been refitted with metal chimney and safety valve/cover.
No problem at all Stuart - and many thanks for the info, someone else did mention this to me also, so duly noted on that!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Dapol seem to be coming along quite nicely nowadays. I'm keeping an eye out for their forthcoming Manor class. Should be a lot like this.
They certainly are - fingers crossed this is the start of a long line of top quality models... and performance is going in the right direction too!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
I have a friend who is GWR mad and when he sees your review I`m sure he will race out and buy one cheers Greg
Hope he really likes this one Greg - I could recommend it to him!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
A 5 star model! I think you are right it simply a smart and smashing loco!
Thanks a lot Michael, yes they did a wonderful job! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Excellent lovely steamer and the innovention
I agree Pedro! :D
I was thinking of getting a Mogul, but was a little doubtful after watching that review on the Dapol Terrier. But now if I decide to get one, I can feel fully confident that I won't be disappointed. The mechanism, ease of installing a DCC decoder, and especially the loco to tender connection definitely make this model worthwhile. I'm not really concerned about the torque mainly since I don't have any gradients.
Now I can be fully confident that Dapol's upcoming release of The Manor will be a great model. That one I will definitely purchase. -Raymond
Yeah, it was reasonable to be sceptical - but yes they are really good, can highly recommend now! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Quite a good model! Looks great, works good.
Thanks Rae, I agree!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
That is a beautiful loco!
I agree! :D
Very impressive I have ordered my lined green one also
Thanks Thomas - sounds epic, hope you enjoy it!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
cool! i love the mogul
Me too! :D
Beautiful and Amazing model Sam! It’s hard to understand why only two were preserved despite how many were built! Still, we’re lucky to have two preserved examples!
Thanks Ryno - yes it's a pity isn't it? :(
About time that Dapol made a good 00 gauge loco. This looks brilliant.
haha I thought so too - very pleased with this! :D
Hi Sam hope your ok
Wow that is amazing I love it the detail
Thanks Lewis, hope you are too!!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
What a great loco! I’ve been really hoping this would be good as it bodes well for the Dapol/Rails D Class next year.
I don’t really need need one of these but at that price I’m seriously considering it! 🤔
I agree with you - well done Dapol! I expect the same quality from the D class now! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
Hello Sam 👋
Another fantastic review 👍
Beautiful model .
Keep safe and well.
Best wishes my friend.
Hugh. 👍👋☕️☕️
Thanks a lot Hugh, look after yourself mate! :D
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
I actually like this with the plain finish. Has a nice sheen too.
Me too William - a beautiful finish! :D
surprised pleasantly.....detail is interestingly accurate..would be interesting to see how locos run on all 3 radius curves etc
Glad to hear that David - I was very impressed too!
Thanks for watching, Sam :)
That smokebox door decoder idea is genius
I think so too - executed so much better here than by DJM too! :D
