Bachmann 009

Talyllyn Nr 1 with sound and stayalive

An exclusive and limited run of the surprisingly nice Talyllyn locomotive by Bachmann. Even though the rivet counter will have something to object to, the model is incredibly nicely painted, there are a lot of details to enjoy. The gearing has been well designed by Bachmann. The model feels sturdy, but still like a premium model.


Features of the upgraded model:

- Tramfabriek coreless motor

- Zimo Sound decoder with Tramfabriek Sound Experience project installed

- Zimo STACO4 stayalive

- 8x13mm 90dB speaker

- Footplate shield that blocks the front windows has been carefully cut off


The upgraded motor will give much smoother running performance, as well as being quiet, compared to the original motor. With the added stayalive, it will be the smoothest and the most reliable model you own. The newly (2025) developed tiny speaker gives with 90dB a sound that will impress you. And Zimo is famous for having the most innovative and best sound decoders on the market. This combined with a full Tramfabriek Sound Experience installed on it, will make come alive. Because special attention has been paid to a real life experience at stand still, just having the model waiting at a station is an enjoyable watch.


As I’m very busy, but love to bring this to the market as a unique product, I will only sell these upgrades for a while (until I really run out of time or I’ve had enough of it). All the parts are very costly, so excuse me for the high price. But I tell you, it’s worth it!

Please allow 7-10 days for the installation of the components, as they are made to order.
