Hey Sparks, the Bachmann Percy might have its faults but its valve gear beats that of the Hornby one.

Cheeky_ULP

Hornby one uses the cheap 0-4-0 chassis, but that at least has better hauling power. I just need to snatch a spare Hornby Percy for its face, and weigh it down.

My Bachmann stuff never came around Christmas (Including the Christmas set which would have been perfect...)

Regardless I had a great Christmas as well :)  I got some money, clothes, some movies, and even a pair of power scissors! :D  The only Thomas related things I got were the Take Along Metallic Edward, Duck, Lady, and Emily.  I am a huge metallic take along collector, but from what I heard the Metallic range is releasing Molly, Neville, Rosie, and Oliver.  I'm only getting one of them this year, anyone guess who it is? :P  I also got the Trackmaster Close Shave for Duck.  The Duck model itself is great and reasonable (Unlike the other greatest moment engines) but I didn't like how one of the trucks came with a bubble load...

Anyways I am glad you all enjoyed your presents and trains you got and even if it is almost over, Merry Christmas everyone! :)

Get the clockwork one if you can. It's cheaper. Eye mechanism is removed, but you need to keep some gears in place.

Hay, Got me a wicked Christmas too. But no thomas stuff what so ever. But I got instead:
1 Hevac Helicopter (bug version)
cash
and a Wood land sceanics building kit.

pluse Santa Fe buff nice you got a whole lot of stuff. I happen to have both versions on pokemon Diamond and pearl and beat them in a week, so could you tell be your friend code, we can battle each other. And Sparks the reason why they didn't come might be either Mavis and Edward were all sold due to christmas so near, or its delayed for some odd reason.

Well till the next post.............Later.
Ok, so I return after 3 years, and guess what, I have no railways. FAIL

Was planning to find a spare part Percy. :P

metal4life

Speaking of modding the eye mechanism, anyone know exactly how to remove it? I've been disappointed with Percy's strength over the past few years and never knew exactly what to do. I figure the same could be done to James and make him a much more better engine.

By the way, I'm curious...
Does anyone think the Hornby Edward is superior to Bachmann Edward in any way?

ZeldaTheSwordsman

Possibly in pulling power, I wouldn't no. Probably not though, it's tender drive.
And as for appearance-WHAT THE FRAK WAS HORNBY THINKING?!
