158783 Central Trains

The 158 Man · 4th June 2007, 22:43

Hi guys,

Thought I'd share a couple of videos with you that I've made.

1) - It's a clip of a Bachmann Class 158, that's been super-detailed to make it look absolutely battered in every way possible, passing a level crossing on the branch line of our model railway and entering one of the many tunnels.

2) - Clip of another 158 (FTPE) going the other way etc.

I have edited the clips with sounds of real 158s, which in my opinion sound very good.

Tell me what you think. But be kind, it's my first attempt!

If people like it I might consider doing some more with different trains. 225s, 47s, 37s, HSTs etc!

Thats really good

well done.

Only improvements I could see are lighting, as it looks very much like a model railway. Needs to be brighter I think. And the length of the clip, seems a bit short, especially as the title sequence is so long in comparision! haha

The sound is good, I like that idea, may have to invest in a video camera...

The 158 Man · 5th June 2007, 10:43

Thanks guys.

EDIT - I've re-uploaded the original clip which has now been ammended with no music and much better title sequences. Also, I've uploaded a new clip of 158768 (First TransPennine Express) coming the other way with sound. More clips of other trains to come!

Ive tried viewing the video, and it said "Video has been deleted by user"

I have two 158s on my layout, 158809, and a TPEx 2 car one (Most likley the same one as yourself?)

Likewise, it has been removed...

The 158 Man · 5th June 2007, 21:35

Sorry about that chaps. Go back to my first post and there's two ammended links for you.

I like it, I especially like the way the Bachmann model moves like the real thing, and doesn't jerk around all over the place like some models in videos. The sound just adds to it.

absolute coolness

Sounds and looks really good, look forward to seeing more

DJC_158 · 6th June 2007, 09:06

very well done.
looks and sounds great!

LucaZone · 6th June 2007, 09:06

The new second video is really good

Well done mate

The 158 Man · 6th June 2007, 12:16

Thanks everyone.

I recorded those sounds on York station and my local level crossing.

158809 · 6th June 2007, 15:27

sound excerlent!
May i ask, was the sound added, or did it come from the 158?

The 158 Man · 6th June 2007, 16:40

Sadly it's added from me and not actually coming from the 158s........yet!

When SWD get the horn right on their sound clip I might get one!

I've just added another couple of vids. This time some Class 156s.

Gonna go do some mainline trains now!

Excellent! I look forwards to it all, and seen the recent two very good and the timing in all seems to be good. Keep it up!
