Custom HOn30 Cabless/ RWS Rheneas: Thomas & Friends Model Showcase

[@hansyolo2271]

I feel so wierd, seeing you start with silly trainz videos to making the best Customs I've ever seen. It's really great.

[@ItsTrainBoy]

Thank you my man! :) It’s been a hell of a journey haha, but I’m happy to be at a point where I can make videos like this that make me a lot happier to produce and know that people will like it too! I love goofing on Trainz but this is the kind of stuff I live for doing.

Rheneas is my favourite character, this version really does his RWS form justice. Massive well done!

[@ToQ_Ichigo]

Trainboy probably won’t heart this comment but he’s making content so good it has the likes to counter against some of the best TTTE KZbinrs. Making us laugh, feel nostalgic, and have fun in the way. This man needs to do a Skarloey topless next.

[@ItsTrainBoy]

Thank you my man! :) I couldn’t do it without you guys and couldn’t be luckier to be in the position I’m in; the least I can do is try to put a smile on everyone’s faces in these trying times! & the more I think about it the more I’m down for it.. I just gotta get a Skarloey! 😂

[@sdmedia1323]

If they become less rare, maybe there can be a Taly-Flynn ( however the hell it’s spelled ) Maybe a Dolgoch ( wait, is it Douglas or Dolgoch, since I swear Dolgoch is Duncan )

After a bout of Depression after the loss of my Grandmother, this man makes me laugh, and helps me find something to bond over with my Grandpa! I thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for all the info, laughs, and extremely childish humor that we all know and love from you. Keep up the good work!

[@smyset111]

I’m sorry for your loss. It hits hard. You know? I have experienced the loss of a loved one… no, two on the same day. (my guinea pigs.) that was seven years ago. Your situation now is similar to mine, you got attached to someone, who you’ve know for as long as you’ve lived (I presume) and now that person is gone. I do remember life before them, but I still loved them with all my heart. I’m still a bit depressed, but I can assure you. In time, things will be better than they are now. Not better than they were, but better. As I like to believe: “the past is in the past. You can’t change it, but you can look back on it. And some day, you are going to smile about all the good times you had. You should enjoy what’s happening in the moment, rather than dwelling on your bad memories in the moment. You can live many times, but you can only die once. Try and make each second of each day worth living for!”

[@nityking1]

Now that's way cooler than the WWII engines!

[@SodorEngines912]

Your models are so good the reverend has finally stopped spinning in his grave and come to join us mortals on 🌍 🤩👍🏽🚂

[@alfa1134]

I dunno, those wonky eyes from the ERTL toy face, lol. Beautifully done!

[@alexis_ian]

Cabless Rheneas look stunning love the mix of TVS and RWS style.

[@kaitheraccoon20]

I got a bachmann rusty a week ago, he was always one of my favorite narrow gauge engines and bachmann's rusty is a very small model but his size just makes it cute in some way lol, I also ordered 2 slate wagons for him as well.

[@PhineasTurner]

Wow, your models are some of the best ones I've ever seen. I would compare them to Mattel, but your models are too perfect for that. Also you can probably build Stanley from the RWS with Bachmann's Baldwin Trench class locomotive. Keep doing awesome stuff.

[@senorestupido2803]

The models you make are superb! They look so detailed.

[@cadenthecadburyengine8198]

Yes! Finally a TVS/RWS early Rheneas!

[@kompst_tu]

This is honestly one of your best customs!

[@secondvalveservices9856]

Just a heads up, behind the crew in the cab is a large tank which takes up most of the space behind them, that is dolgoch’s (or rheneas’s) water tank, seeing as there is (obviously) no saddle or side tanks, and there is no well tank either, due to the complex valve gear of the loco. So the water tank is in the cab behind the crew

[@churrodead7191]

I don't think I've ever seen anyone make an early version of Rheneas, it came out so well too. You should make a cables Skarlowey too.

[@svsmodelling2857]

This is great probably one of your best yet! Please do the unfinished Henry out of hornby Henry, paint the locomotive red (apart from the face) and leave the tender how it is. I am going to have to agree with you on Rheneas, he is one of the best Skarloey railway characters other than Skarloey. All the best! :D

[@MinotoPPT2]

I love this custom TrainBoy! It really captures the RWS and TVS So well! Also I’m so excited to see your Big city engine! :D

[@thomasmaster2789]

Congrats on 25k dude!

[@JakeStaffin]

I never realize how small these models are until I see them running, but wow, the narrow gauge ones are smaller than I thought. I don't know a lot about model railroading, what size/gauge models are you using for the standard gauge and narrow gauge models?

[@tophatgeo]

I think the standard gauge is OO scale

[@smyset111]

And narrow gauge is HOn3 scale.

[@thattrainguy4740]

you have no idea how hyped i was when i saw that thumbnail

[@lukechristmas3951]

I feel that I really should have seen this custom coming but here I am, surprised, impressed and inspired to make my own (once I get a Bachmann Rheneas and/or Skarloey.)

[@Nubfist]

You mixed the RWS and the TVS perfectly, great job!

[@tempertantrum6464]

Aw man, that looks awesome! I've wanted to incorporate Hon3 into my layout for the longest time, and looking at these Bachmann narrow gauge engines, I'll probably get to it soon.

[@mightyalbert1470]

No one does customs better than this guy

[@amitysluzara2022]

I didnt think it was possible to make this in HO but you proved me wrong. Amazing work

[@scottisha1x]

Now this is a model that I don't think anyone has ever tried before, I think you absolutely nailed the early look of the SKRs No2!

Great video TrainBoy!!! I love how your Rhenas model looks, so detailed!!!!!!

[@Framed_Niner]

I cannot believe you were considering turning this into Smudger! This is one of your best models!

[@NWRKRIS]

Just a suggestion to add to the layout is the tunnel where both narrow and standard gauge locos run through like in the episode *Snow*

[@CrystalLakeRailway]

I could never find the will to cut off the cab of any train. I'm glad to know It can be done.

[@Skarloey1865]

I have managed to get the cab of my Bachmann skarloey to make it cabless but you do need to cut of a metal plate that's behind the cab front windows

[@nateswoodentrainstudios3806]

Great job on making a cabless Rheneas it looks great

[@Arrow_AZ]

Hold up when the FLOOF did rhenaies got his cab roof removed?

[@ajaxengineco]

A few minor recommendations (based on the real Talyllyn & Dolgoch, as well as the Very Old Engines illustrations): the cluster of three small steam valves on the boiler. A search of Dolgoch will turn up what they look like. The safety valves (attached to dome, an excellent illustration of Skarloey in Crosspatch shows the pair of them reasonably well.) Easily made out of 2 bent paper clips and some plastic cable wraps. Lastly, his second whistle. Dolgoch has a lower pitched one, attached to the right hand side of the dome. Perhaps Rheneas' original Bachmann whistle? Overall a very good model and a faithful representation of the books. My suggestions are purely cosmetic, but in real life, when polished up to shine brass-like, these fussy little alterations make Dolgoch incredibly pretty.

[@Kuriboh1008]

Yet another great custom. Keep up the good work!

[@adamchmielewski6162]

Will you ever create any crash scenes with these? Like a narrow gauge engine crashes on to the standard gauge, and an engine hits them and both get sent to the steam works

[@allenychirok.makalintal7192]

Im new to here so I dont know if you have built duke but id like to see him or maybe the version of when he was found after so many years

nice! Rheneas looks epic. And wow, he's smaller than an ERTL...nice sneak peak :)

[@PHsRailwayVideos]

Looks great! I've always wanted to do this to Skarloey but can't afford a Bachmann Skarloey.

[@mgr_video_productions]

Nicely done! I didn't know that Rheneas had an open cab. Also, those eyes from the ERTL Rheneas tho at 2:07.

[@ThomasandJames]

wow you've just made the bachmann model even better he looks amazing

[@johnbaker2910]

I wonder. If he has done Rheneas, you think he has plans for an early Skarloey as well if he gets his hands on one?

[@pedrostacozsomehowopen4076]

So what was that thing flopping in the background?

[@ewanfawkes2708]

If you do ever do Skarloey, remember to take his rear wheels off as well. Perhaps to go along with them you could do some Mid-Sodor Customs as well.

[@nwrfilms2008]

that custom is really good nice job

can you buy N gauge narrow age locos? Where are they available?

[@blakeosaurus2477]

Question can HO30 locomotives run on HO/OO track?

[@lukegauci1159]

I've driven the real Rheneas (Dolgoch) for my 20th birthday! went all the way to Tywyn from Malta

[@johnkuzma7066]

Now do you know why the reverend made Scarlowy and Rheneas cabless? It is because Talyllyn and Dolgoch where delivered from fletcher Jennings that way in 1864 and 1866 respectively to the Talyllyn Railway. Almost All the events on the SKR have a basis on events that happen on the Talyllyn Railway, sometimes with frightening similarity.

[@kaneicy]

Great content and great job at all these customs you do.

[@smyset111]

I think the next step is to steal a smudger face from an ertl smudger, file the back down, get one of those On30 (OO Gauge, yes, it will fit on your standard gauge track) scale class 10 Baldwin trench engines, paint the boiler, cylinders, side tanks, and cab unlined red, remove the hose from the back, slap the aforementioned smudger face on the smokebox door and you’ve bought yourself a model of Stanley.
