Southern Pacific HO GS4 leads Daylight passenger cars.

[love4winter]

I like MTH HO but still really good vid

@love4winter

Hello.Thank you for watching my video and for a comment.

Yes,you are right. MTH products are really well made but for me they are relatively expensive.

[buijs1967]

Hello, i like Bachmann as well! Good value for money.

[musukari1031]

@buijs1967

Hello. Yes,as you say, Bachmann's models are very well made these days.Recently they issue many models with DCC/sound.I think they are all good looking and well made in detail, and a little bit expensive.

[buijs1967]

Hey, even the headlight is orange (-;

[musukari1031]

@buijs1967

Hello.Thank you for watching my video and for a comment.

Yes,Bachmann 's GS-4 has orange light.Yet,I like this.

I enjoyed your train videos.

[flashperson]

how is this engines pulling power, could it pull a long train?

[houtokur8]

@flashperson

Hello.Thank you for watching my video.

This Bachmann-made loco can pull a long train.However,this engine is not equipped with sound.

I enjoyed some of your train videos.

[flashperson]

@houtokur8 because im looking for a daylight gs4 that can pull weighted cars about an almos 2% grade, think this can handle it?

[houtokur8]

@flashperson

Hello.As a matter of fact I haven't tested if Bachmann GS4 can pull a heavy train on 2% grade hill.I am afraid it needs more weight on the engine.

[flashperson]

@houtokur8 yeah i was affraid you were going to say that, but now that im thinking, i do not need to add too much more weight to the cars, and plus there is only 7 cars so idk maybe it will pull, nice locomotive by the way! and thanks for all of your help

[houtokur8]

@flashperson

You are welcome.

[solidshots23]

would this engine work on 18" radius curves, do those coaches have interiors and do u know anyone else that carries daylight coaches??

[houtokur8]

@solidshots23

Hello. Thank you for watching my video and asking me a question.

I think 18" radius curve tracks are OK although 22" radius are recommended by manufacturer.

My coaches are made by Con-Cor and have no interiors.They are inexpensive.

Mike's Train House and Broadway Limited have just released new Daylight coaches that have interiors but are way expensive..

[thelastprimerules]

a good thing to do that im doing is im getting the new one shiny mars light 4449 bachmann of course and im getting a soundtraxx tsunami heavy steam sound decoder and setting it to the daylight i tested its whistle on their samples next to the real thing and its accurate it also has the airhorn

[houtokur8]

@thelastprimerules

Wow!! It's great you are going to get a new Bachmann GS4 and getting a Soundtaxx Tsunami sound decoder.

I can imagine that you now enjoy your new locomotive with Tsunami sound.

[ChiefofStaff57]

I used to have the ho scale daylight but it was broken. Fell and hit the concrete :(

I miss this train so much. oh well i get another one.

[houtokur8]

@ChiefofStaff57

Hello.Thank you for watching my video and for giving me a comment.

No wonder you miss GS4. As you think this locomotive is one of the most loved engines in the world .

[ChiefofStaff57]

@houtokur8

you can say that again. Southern pacifc daylight is legendary

[Jared1452]

Isn't BLI coming out with their GS-4 model?

[houtokur8]

Yes,BLI has shipped out the GS-4 and Daylite Passenger cars. They seem pretty well made.

The locomotive sounds good and puffs smoke.

[thelastprimerules]

@houtokur8 where did u hear the engines sounds?

[HunterR909]

Would have been a better Daylight if you hadn't used Con Cor Sleepers, or dome cars , which vista domes or dome obs.

[houtokur8]

Yes,you are right. As you say ConCor passenger cars aren't well made. I would like to get those of MTH made.

[02081912Frabas]

Anyway, it is a big improvment if the decoder is replaced as you can see on mine You Tube. Nice regards again

[02081912Frabas]

hello, What do you think about this engine in his low speed range? What kind of DCC system do you use? I myself use a Roco lokmaus 3 system.

[houtokur8]

Hello,this Bachmann made GS4 is a little bit noisy in its slow speed. I use Digitrax DCS50K and Bachmann EZ Command.

They both have only ten function keys.

[ThomasRivette]

Wow, I didn't know they make round end observation cars with domes on top in Daylight colors.

[houtokur8]

Hello.Thank you for watching my video and giving me a comment.

I was afraid Southern Pacific didn't run Dome observation cars in Daylight color.Please ignore it.

[ThomasRivette]

Are you kiding, I love it. Where can I get it?

[houtokur8]

Hello. I don't know if it's still available now, but I bought it directly from Con-cor factory.

Why don't you check their Website and look for "85ft. corrugated passenger cars"?

[ThomasRivette]

I was talking about models.

[houtokur8]

Yes.Check Con-cor's homepage.

[trainlover479]

i want one, how much is it?

[houtokur8]

Hello. Ｔhank you for a comment.

It is made by Bachmann and I bought it for about $140. It's DCC equipped and well made.

[trainlover479]

i can tell, it looks really good

[houtokur8]

Yah, it sure does!

[Metracab123]

I Just Got This Does The Strobe Work .....

[houtokur8]

Hello.I watched your video.That's great!

[motorman1993]

the MTH GS4 is a better engine i went through 2 of the bachmann engines and i brought the MTH one and it runs a hold lot better

[houtokur8]

Hello.Thank you for watching my video and giving me a comment.

My GS-4 pulls well but I understand MTH one looks good and way better made.

[Owner4567]

I Have That Same Kind Of Daylight!

[houtokur8]

Thank you for watching my video and giving me a comment.

I watched your Daylight Loco in your video.I am sure your loco is same as mine.

[Owner4567]

Thanks, sadly, I don't have any Daylight cars. & I only have 2 passenger cars, so I can only have it pull freight trains & mixed trains.

[houtokur8]

Is that right? I think there are many different ways enjoying model trains. I once saw GS-4 pulling mixed trains on real railroad. You can enjoy model trains as you like.

[1234567890bf2]

hi, i am going to buy one this friday, but first, do botht the headlights light?

Thanks,

David

[houtokur8]

Hi,David

Thank you for watching my video.

This Bachmann made GS-4 has double headlights but don't blink.

[1234567890bf2]

thanks, but the top light on this locomotive appear to be on, but very dark. can that be changed?

Again, great video

thanks

[houtokur8]

Hi,again.

I am afraid top light does not be turned on, neither side lights.

[1234567890bf2]

ok thank you very much. a few last things, how does the engine perform at slow speeds? also, does the body (shell) of the locomotive shift sideways after negotiatiing a turn like some other bachmann trains.

thanks again,

david

[houtokur8]

Hi,David

Since this Bachmann loco is DCC operated,it performs well at slow speed,but hums badly.

As I use 810mm(about 32 inches) radius tracks, I don't find a bad sideways-shift of the locomoteve.

Andy

[1234567890bf2]

Thank You!!!

Great video by the way

[ocalicreek]

What radius are your curves?

[houtokur8]

Thank you for watching my video.

I use 810mm(about 32 inches) radius tracks.
