HO/OO 'Lady The Magical Engine': Custom Reveal & Showcase! Ertl OO Conversion & Customization

[@Ryder-a-Blaze]

Lady is shocked at how much of a glow up you gave her

[@SodorTrain1225]

The magic has been stoked, and the Lady is smiling...she's back from the dead! "And she's beautiful!" In all seriousness, this refurbishment of the older custom is fantastic!

[@lukechristmas3951]

Honestly, seeing the paint react to the paint remover solution like that is pretty unsettling but I quite like seeing an alternate take on Lady because it is something that is rare in the commuity and fandom as a whole. So far, I think Wildnorwester and Victor Tanzig were the only people who pretty much portrayed "Lady" as an industrial engine.

[@jamestheshinyredengine4350]

The fact this video came up as soon as the song I was listening to ended

[@greenio2011]

the song was a loading screen between this video and the one before it

[@Kamui_Azur]

"The lights are all green for you now.... Green for glory." Seeing the older custom get reworked and given new life is amazing! I like idea regarding the decal. It's really neat seeing and hearing how others incorporate engines like Lady into their versions of the Thomas and Friends world in a way that makes sense. In my AU/Headcanon, Lady is a prototype engine that worked well enough to work on a shunting yard but not enough to become a series of engines. After being worked on by a stubborn man(aka Burnett Stone) to the point that she could enter full service, she worked on a heritage railway near Sodor I've been calling the "Shining Time Heritage Railway" till it closed and the Fat Controller bought her and brought her to Sodor, where she often does a mix assortment of jobs though a common one is helping Percy with his Mail Trains.

"You found her and she's beautiful!"

[@TankEngineMedia]

Perfect way to say about this version of Lady

[@Melody_Ninjago_Lover]

​@@TankEngineMediathank you

[@thomastrainzfan4444]

“Well done, Lady. You work this yard like magic!” “Pah, you know magic doesn’t exist. Whoever thought of a magical engine…” Great vid!

[@BrendenReis10]

What an interesting take on the character! I loved the weathering and paint application 😍 That chassis, too.. delicious food 💙

[@ItsTrainBoy]

Nowhere NEAR as delicious as anything you’ve cooked up recently king; thank you so goddamn much for keeping me inspired enough to keep doing this mess- 😅🥹

[@Just_S.A.M.]

Great to see the final product, would love to see some more ertl Ho/oo conversions in the future if you’re up to the task. 👌🔥

[@gingeronrails]

She looks fantastic! Always love seeing the behind the scenes. Can't wait to see if Stone LTD ever needs diesel power!

[@minty-industrialsteamprodu1747]

You literally found her and made her more beautiful. How poetic

[@Simba-1996]

Honestly this a very unique but a very cool take on Lady. I like some of the extra details you added on her. Gives her a nice industrial look. Stone LTD. Stoking up the Magic in the mountain since 2000

[@PepsiTrain26]

This is how we can work lady into the main show without the magic elements from magic railroad.

[@keni-hy8gh]

thanks trainboy for making me like lady more

[@TankEngine97]

Really interesting alternative take on Lady. The way her paint looks when removing it looks like crumbled up paper.

[@valesbridge_yt]

Rosie’s picking up on the hobby Consider yourself lucky! You got a lil helper on the workbench now!

[@ItsTrainBoy]

AND THANK GOSH too!! She’s either the best little helper or the best Godzilla I’ve ever seen there’s no inbetween- 🤣

[@TheNamelessFoxXD]

WE MAKIN IT OUT THE MAGIC RAILROAD W THIS ONE🔥🔥🔥

[@adriannash2705]

Man that’s beautiful and amazing, it’s amazing that something that small works and the fact that you repurposed an old Ertl Lady for it impresses me even more. I might have to get a Ruston motor and one of the old Ertl models my aunt has and see if I can make that work

[@adriannash2705]

Trainboy do you think that one of the bigger Ertl engines like Henry or Douglas would be better for N scale than trying to make it HO/OO? I haven’t held an Ertl engine in a while but I feel like aside from Lady they’re too small to properly fit the scaling of HO/OO

[@furonguy42]

This is so cool! I seem to recall that last time you spoke about this custom, you were skeptical you'd ever be able to fit a motor in that tiny Ertl frame? I can't believe you got it running! And the custom buffer beams and tail lantern absolutely complete the look. Phenomenal work!

[@AtypicalColoursGamer]

I like the take on lady

[@chasesrailwaylinesrr6447]

It is truly now magical that it does work,

[@ItsTrainBoy]

And to think- all I had to do was find some stupid windmill 🙄🤣

[@TheTrainboard]

She came out amazing! Personally, I prefer her livery from the movie because it's so special to me, but I really like your take. Especially the Stone LTD, very nice touch.

[@ReznikStealthShadow]

YOU FOUND HER & SHE IS BEAUTIFUL! man great work bud she looks absolutely gorgeous!

[@ItsTrainBoy]

Thank you so much my homie :)❤️‍🔥

[@ReznikStealthShadow]

@@ItsTrainBoy Of course! I want 1 do bad!

[@Pepperknight341]

I remember a book, "Diesel 10 means Trouble", depicting Lady with lipstick, and she looked fabulous.

[@thomasnwrengine4936]

I also noticed that detail

[@TheGreyTurtleEntertainment]

Dude, this model, don't think I can describe her better than TATMR did, so to Quote Thomas: "You've found her, and she's beautiful".

[@ngfstudio4818]

That’s an awesome model man keep up the good work!

[@ItsTrainBoy]

Thank you so much my homie, I’ll do my best!! :)🙏

[@NWRKRIS]

The custom I waited for a LONG LONG time has finally been finished! I gotta say it was well worth the wait! Keep it up!

I've been waiting for you to do an update on your lady custom, good to see her here at last :)

Great work! 👍 and honestly, I think a 0-4-0 Peckett would look really nice in that Stone LTD livery too!!!

[@DisneyMatthewSkunk]

Alright , Train Jesus

Wow! Nice! I love the company logo thingy! I really like the blue! Good job TB! ❤

Your idea for her consist sounds good to me

[@errol2605]

this makes me wish I could have a layout lady looks so awesome

[@briandesens144]

Awesome video trainboy

[@ScottishTwinsFan]

That was a nice Lady, you definitely did not disappoint with this video. Also, Lady does look better in that new livery

[@ryangold8517]

Now we need a diesel 10 OO scale model

Finally, the grand return of Trainboy's oo gauge! Looks epic mate.

[@castielsosa8512]

This is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen

[@REDARROW_A_Personal]

Nice Work. I would have personally put a Chocolate Company on her as she looks like she would be a good shunter for a Chocolate Factory. Just the same as Cadbury's had their shunters for their factories. This now gives me a idea for a Lady Like Locomotive with a Cadbury's Colours and Logo.

[@user-di3rs6yl2v]

You should now make d10 then make magic railroad scene lol, great model lady btw!

[@thegamingwolfkingofthemult37]

Finally, a realistic RWS Lady.

[@give_me_a_break_get_it]

Lady looks good and good Rosie for bringing a buffer

[@Roccohasbraindamage123]

Sick man! your customs keep getting better and better!

[@naveentaylor6197]

Brilliant model

[@KennysChocolateMilk]

Yes FINALLY I would say how good she is but thomas said it best "She's beautiful" Edit: you could put lily and Burnett in lady to hide the motor ;) 10:23 give her a truck of gold dust (✨️ Glitter ✨️)

[@BillandBenProductions6792]

That is an amazing HO Scale Lady custom, it kinda looks better than the regular one you made, I like how you added the Stone LTD signs where Lady’s nameplate is supposed to be and I wish Bachmann and Hornby made an HO Scale Lady.

[@the.exefan]

3 YEARS! dang

[@ItsTrainBoy]

It took long enough let me tell ya 😅

[@Arkay315]

The lady in the hills

[@ItsTrainBoy]

Now to get on a Rusty to bother her as well.. 👀

[@problem3412]

absolutely diggin this take on lady?? fuckin wicked man 💪 and to answer that question oh absolutely, ladys always had ancient (by train standards) vibes in general 😭whenever i inevitably make a custom of her i got plans to give her a wood-paneling styled boiler like what lions got

[@jackswan3420]

I'd recommend some of the freelance designs from the RWS and magazines as coworkers of Lady, for example the green saddle tank that worked at the docks, the small blue engine that also worked at the docks, the 2 red tank engines from the magazines, 13, and probably others I've forgotten (do Bash & Dash count? They're heavily altered from their basis). Others could be Charlie (they have very similar paintwork and he's an industrial), Billy, Samson, Harvey, Fergus and many others could also be on the table depending on how far the reimagined goes. As a final suggestion, maybe her and Crovan could have been old work colleagues?

[@theblackleafninja3858]

This is an awesome custom

[@alexanderkocer390]

Train boy I absolutely LOVE your videos and I’m jealous of your collection.😢 Hopefully I will be able to make my own custom oo lady🤞

[@CR_class123]

I love how lady looks you did a good job on making her I wouldn't say that she looks era 1 though more era 2 or like an NCB loco but thats just what I think

[@inserthandlehere648]

I stopped modeling a year or two ago and I needed to see lady's progress tho

[@BuzzLightbulb]

If you want another magic engine for her to work with I’d like to see your take on Proteus!

[@mewtheenigma2732]

Bang-up job you’ve done. As far as era goes though, I’m feeling more like Lady would be more early to mid Era 2; the locomotive “Lively Polly” (which Lady might’ve been based on, for those who didn’t know) was built in 1884, and I could see Lady being built either that same year or a bit later. Maybe it’s just me thinking she’d look better with the boxy plank wagons instead of chauldrons; idk. The choice is of course ultimately up to you. Still, again, bang-up job.

[@spitix_]

wow just wow

[@TTTE_Addiction]

Another oportunity of Trainboy Talking About Magic Railroad-

[@trevortyrrell175]

Great custom.

[@shadowthoughts3529]

I would love to see her running with some of Accurascale's Chaldron wagons, already fitting with the mine ascetic the new layout has going on.

[@Captin_Krispy_Offical]

God that's such a beautiful look to a kinda odd engine.

[@dylanlyles9453]

You know, I actually think of Lady as an engine of the Sodor & Mainland Railway. I imagine her as a unique engine built at Crovan's Gate Works and runs a loop-line at Kirk Ronan, specifically near Killaban Station, Killaban Yards and The Big Dipper Viaduct (the three locations from Magic Railroad).

[@Stuingtion]

I will quickly say, the choice of livery you chose for Lady is not only more unique but I think it looks better than that red and yellow one most people give her in the Trainz model of her.

[@michelacastelli4767]

Wow I love it

[@Stoked_magic]

I actually like the stone LTD you put on her sides because In my Canon she works high up in the mountains

[@Jude-72]

Oh and she is beautiful! If you'd like to cover the motor a bit more you could build up a bunker with card and coal to hide it a bit more!

[@Your_Casual_Fan]

I'm contacting Diesel 10. We found her. Thanks for telling me.

[@ItsTrainBoy]

Good we need help with this workload Topham dumped on me- 😮‍💨 I just hope there’s at least 2-3 steamies left by the time he’s done lol

Amazing would buy 👍🏻

[@ayanstoika-2490]

Lets go

[@SPG69]

Magic railroad will always be the best Thomas film (besides lost treasure of course 😊)

[@David_Mattox]

With Lady being a somewhat Victorian style, it would make sense for her to be an Era 1 locomotive. Also her being older than the other engines would fit that… ethereal, source-of-all-life-for-steam-trains… Sorry, but I still enjoy Magic Railroad while watching it, and this IS a cool model! 👍👍

[@TankEngineMedia]

I love your take on Lady! Your version looks unique and distinct from most versions of Lady

[@frogmouth2]

What if you got her a sleeping face? She spends the majority of the film idle, waiting for magic coal so it could be fitting.

[@ItsTrainBoy]

Not a bad idea at all homie- 👀 I hope to get her many more than just the surprised one haha, I think it’d be funny to have her excitedly pass with a goods train or curse back at Thomas when he does 🤣

[@Leonardo-cw1dd]

well worth the 2-3 year wait

[@ItsTrainBoy]

[@Roccohasbraindamage123]

woah

[@oohwhop716]

I love it real beautiful lady model

[@nathandelay]

It would be awesome if you did use the coal cars also, I think you should put a diesel 10 on the layout to give it some history before lady got her pink livery. Just like a backstory I think it’s a great opportunity in my opinion to go this route just to give us some history of like a what, if scenario and with diesel 10 chasing her with the coal cars with Burnett stone in the cab just like he says where, we never the backstory were Burnet stone explains about lady, but never got to see it in the movie. I wish we did see you in the movie, but then we would need a cooling tower to give us some purpose. for the layout. and maybe if you want to see my ideas for this, I could try to make a replica of what you could do, but do it as your own take on it Anyway, that’s my idea about it and I hope you have a very awesome day. Every time I see your models, it feels like you inspire me to do more scratch building and so much more modeling to do I like what you do for your models because they are awesome. I hope you have a very awesome day.

[@ChrisHillmon]

Personally, I think it would be cool if you payed homage to the original Plarail/Tomy toy of Lady where she came with those Troublesome Trucks that were painted in a livery that matched hers. That’s what I would go with.

[@MCstudio1274]

Have you considered doing your own take on Diesel 10. He doesn't have to have the claw, but it might be cool to form a new headcanon on that.

[@fettbricks0258]

Def go era 1. I think you should include Emily in the roster for Stone Ltd. to add something extra! That or your own engine, but a more powerful one
