Percy is On hold for a new chassis, anyway, Ive started on my daisy, Made from a 2 car 101 class DMU, with the motor boigie corridor end cut off and replaced with the cab end of the dummy driving unit, and its looking sexy so far and after loads of fiddling, Ive fixed a boigie that hasnt worked in over 10 years and it runs beautifully now, MIRICLE!!!!






Do you think its a clean cut?


I got the lining to do and the missing chunks out of the fromt under the bufferbeam, but mainly the paint at the front needs tidying up, far from finished in my eyes

Face? I dunno blu tak coverd in superglue and then painted? lol

I decided to go tghis way using the 2 car DMU class 101 instead of the Hornby 121 bubblecar because of the differences, Daisy Is a 101 Bubblecar, not a 121 so there you go lads

Yes spoy on, GEM Do some BODY kits for the Talyllyn Locos (engines that the Skarloey engines are based on) They do Douglas (Duncan) and Dolgoch (Rheneas) although the kit i bought had loads of missing parts so i had to create the boiler, smokebox and pipework myself.


Heres a directory to the producers of the kits on the Talyllyn kits

Ive Altered the bunker so it fits similarity to the later RWS pics:

Well Corrie described it sorta   

Im still not satisfied with him though, Knuckles says wer are perfectionists who are never satisfied with our work no matter how amaizing it is yep hes right lol  lmfao

Of course it would turn out better than you would think, im not the average bachmann fourm/youtube dipstick, im one of the top 3 Thomas modellers around as said by everyone basically

Ok then, Ive done the 2nd Layer of Green and painted the buffers Silver and now he looks loads better, could do with a clean up and the bloody valve gears :-/ Trust me he looks alot better infront of you then in pics

Yea, 'cool' is your alternative for 'I cant understand what you are saying' isnt it? 

Educate yourself. 



anyway RWS Percy's Progress, Iv gotten Far On My RWS Percy, It just needs cab handrails, valve gears and a paintjob and yeyness, heres a pic couple of Pics:

Its not about being popular, I do these things because I want to do it, I hate crap Modelling And I like things to be correct, Maybe thats why people like me, Knuckles, Clearwaterfan and TheDocter Are well Known, Because We acculy do it and Put effort In.

Mainly Me, Knuckles and TheDocter are doing the Railway Series because we are true fans in other words We Prefer the correct way, How things were meant to Be, How the engines looked, their History, And Trackplans From the books.

Im Modelling Ffarquhar Station (The Station at the end Of Thomas' Branch Line with the 3 sheds and the curved platform) Most of it was built but Things were mesed up in an accident, But It should be In Running Order Again.

Running Locos On the Layout are My RWS Thomas (One With the straight Front), My RWS Percy, GER Livery'd Toby (Blue Sideplates), My Mavis Model and What should be started soon, RWS Daisy In BR Dark Green Livery as In the books.

Do You Mean you are trying to model them in On30? Using two Bachmann Percy Chassis' for each drive unit On Your Tomy Mighty Mac? I thought of this before but i thought it looked too wrong to look realistic, theyd be too small for On30 and WAYYYYY too big for 009 or what you Americans call it... well at least the intelligent modeller ones call it, No offence to anyone but i havent heard anyone with the brains on this fourm to call it what it really is, HOn2.5

Anyway Good Look With your On30 Mighty Mac Project

Heres an update pic on Rheneas, Ive added a hook coupling to Rheneas' front aswell as the pipe detail so now he just has to be called a superdetailed model :






Im having to make a hard desition, painting Rheneas wheels black or keeping them red lol argh its hard. lol

Im waiting to make a start on my RWS Percy, All I really need is the dapol pug valve gear and the saddletank and domes and... 'stuff' and then i Can start. well ive already started, The smokebox Supports are in place aswell as cab nd smokebox and bunker.

ive ordered a GP50 model in n gauge, in other words the chassis i used for my last Mighty Mac and my current Catherine. This time the chassis should be sticking to being used on Mighty Mac, I just hope the scratch build goes well.

I need to get More Catherine's While we are on the subject, because if I do find my Lord Harry model wich i did complete, sorta, i hope wherever it is, its not falling to bits, no-one knows it exists because I didnt get around to taking pictures of it, because my mam 'cleaned' the house about 30 mins after it was done so argh, still stuck in my mind. Lord Harry was powerd by the same chassis as Rusty, a Bachmann 0-6-0 Switcher.


I cant Build all of the Skarloey Engines because my layout trackplan hasnt got much area for them to stay, unless i have the turntable at the back of the shed unpowered and have an engne purched on there all the time to keep the current away from it

I really want to Build Freddie but also Ivo Hugh, I dont know I figured that Ill have to pick one of the two, mind whoever it will be, they wont be made till next year With Skarloey/Duncan.

Acculy Ivo Hugh It is Ill make him as No.7 I like being RWS true forget the sodding TV series  

I got My chassis cut down and waiting for the Tomy harvey to arrive and then have me cut it down, Tomy Harvey Is disgustingly Massive, so Ill just be pinching the crane, smokebox, and cab from it.

Ive orderd A wooden Dennis so Ill have the face ready and waiting when I get the new chassis, wich is won, I just need to send a cheque for it now. basically the same fr both wooden and the chassis, great, at least most of Dennis' body is sitting in my posesion

Last but not least Ill say Ive orderd a wind up Rusty to pinch the face off that For My Own 009 model

I really remember anyone asking, I partally made Rheneas and Peter Sam myself since parts fromt he kit were missing, for example, Rheneas' whole boiler

Sir Handel is kinda the same, the cab was a flat brass sheet and you have
to cut them out and bend the objects to shape yourself.

So theres alot more work to do dispite the kit, Rheneas' parts are from a Dolgoch GEM kit, Sir Handel from a Corris No.3 Rodney Stenning Kit, and Peter Sam from urm, I cant remember nwo its been over a Year Ive had him

Spammers and complainers:
I do not cause arguments and im not some sort of child thats crazy, keep yourself to yourself I dont need anyone to hold my hand. Stick on topic and stop being childish by telling me to behave for the sake of it.

Back On Topic now please

Here are the Pics of my Skarloey railway locos with i have made in 009 scale out of n scale chassis

This is my 'done list'

No1 Skarloey
No2 Rheneas
No3 Sir Handel
No4 Peter Sam
No5 Rusty
No6 Duncan
No7 Ivo Hugh
No8 Duke
No-  Mighty Mac
No-  Freddie

Those are the only ones on my list because 1 Dont have the space on my layouts for engines that dont need to be there


Here are the pics anyway:

Hi everyone, thankyou Bachmann for giving me another chance and thankyou Corrie for pleading hto him you didnt have to but you still did and im very greatful, thankyou mate

Im sorry for the nconvienience i caused in the past i got annoyed by people arguing and asking the same questions over and over, one of the reasons why my mates Knuckles and Blue Pioneer Arnt joined to the fourm but anyway

Thankyou and have a Merry Christmas!
