This model was available for a bargain price of £79.99 from the Rails of Sheffield website (not connected to me) at the time of making the video, and loads of you have bought them and asked us for a suitable decoder for them.

The new camera has really opened up possibilities for videos so I thought I'd make a new one showing how to fit sound to the 08, as its one that people often struggle with. This is the easiest way I can think of to fit sound to a Bachmann 08, and doesn't include a stay alive which many people will want, but it will get you up and running with minimal effort, it took me around 10 mins as you can see in the video.
