How I made my Toby: Custom HO/OO TTTE Model Showcase

[@JagoHazzard]

J70s typically had their side plates removed whenever it was legally allowed, i.e. any time they weren't on a tramway. So it's perfectly legit to run Toby like that.

[@Dave_Sisson]

I forgot Jago used to make model videos before he became the equal best London railway history KZbinr.

[@problem3412]

toby ditching his sideplates to spite the police is absolutely in-character hh

[@bambostarla6259]

I thought so too, cracked me up

[@Canweconverse]

People on Twitter have tried to belittle you and your Toby model, but I think it looks smashing. You’re one of my favourite HO/OO modellers to watch, and I often put your videos on in the background when I work on models myself. Stay splendid, trainboy, I love what you’re doing!

[@ammonparker4757]

I second that! You’re one of my top 5 favorite KZbinrs.

[@bluefuzzball351]

James: did someone say splendid?

[@4014train]

@@bluefuzzball351 yes that’s not what you are though

[@johnathonmcjohn3]

Dont trust twitter users They arent respectable

[@javodey]

Trainboy, I hope you're ready for an influx of Jobbythehong comments for using that song. I'm praying for you brother.

*BEATUIFUL SPREAD!*

[@mixedtrafficproductions9371]

I see you’re a Jobby and Thomas fan at the same time as well

[@ErnonFloundee23]

That Toby is absolutely incredible. I’ve seen few people on KZbin try to do his paint job of when he worked in the LNER. I think the LNER Toby’s paint job is MILES better than his Chocolate brown and Light Blue side plates that Sir Topham Hat decided to give to him.

[@aliminator1310]

This is AMAZING! I've always loved Toby's design, and you've made what is probably my favorite of your realistic takes on engines!

[@fruitsnaxVA]

Bro how does he keep making these??

[@railwayroundhouse3792]

Toby looks incredible, though you consistently set the bar higher and higher with every model you finish. Never stop doing what you love Lance. It clearly makes you happy and your work never ceases to amaze 💯

[@Grammar_Police1]

7:10 i love how as he comes around the corner it matches up perfectly with the music

[@Danominator]

Always liked the wheels-out take on Toby. Even with the bigger face this is easily one of my favorites of yours!

[@TheGreyTurtleEntertainment]

This is a Toby who will fight you at 3AM behind the dumpster in a Denny's parking lot.

[@singletona082]

'Why no side covers' OK... i'm gonna have to agree with you man. The reason speaks for itself. That is some good looking choochoo there.

[@ItsTrainBoy]

EXACTLY it’s just appealing it’s hard to explain 🤣

[@TankEngine97]

As always, amazing model TrainBoy.

[@ErnonFloundee23]

Agreed

[@InkyPF]

I mean oh my god, this is probably one of the best models of Toby I’ve seen, like ever. The weathering and the fact that it’s so original just makes it stand out in a phenomenal way, good fucking job on him 👍

[@StephAndJulian]

*waves wineglass upon first seeing Toby* "...So do you come here often?"

[@Charmaster04]

The bartender: *Turns to see who his patron is addressing and slumps to the floor in a feint.* Toby: "Shouldn't you go to bed? You look like you're about to collapse off the stool. Speaking of which, as long as you don't lather my face in beer foam while I'm helplessly embedded in the pub wall, I think I'll take a nap myself." The patron: "Say, that reminds me of something... hey! *You* were the engine who disturbed my haircut!" Toby: "Does my face *look* like it's circular? How many buffers are still attached to my front?"

[@lukechristmas3951]

2:08 I think overall it boils down to that almost all of the models with side plates were sold out almost instantly. In my case anyway but I agree with the value gear and I cracked up when you threw in the wolf whistle! I agree, this is one of your more superior models and it I think the weathering on the LNER livery looks great! I quite like pre-Sodor RWS Toby.

[@vincentmulder1594]

I absolutely love these more industrial takes on the characters, with Thomas, Percy, James and now Toby, I honestly can't wait to see the other engines if you plan on making them, would love to see Duck or Henry next in this line up!

[@dogyslime9954]

For duck all that he needs is a GWR pannier tank engine with a malformed wheel so it can waddle

[@TheTrainLady]

I love the take on Toby! It looks great and the liberties you took are super interesting! I really like you left the sideplates off

[@Thomasboi01]

That model of Toby is so cool! You're amazing when it comes to custom Thomas and friends models!

[@vengeful_toaster]

the fact that you did the music and faces really shows commitment

[@marty6779]

Absolutely fantastic work mate. Man I'd love to get a Rapido J70. They're sadly still a bit too expensive for me, so I'll have to settle for a Silverfox y6.

[@Iron_Duke1847]

Nice weathering

[@altermike3197]

I've waiting for this in anticipation ever since I saw him

[@Masteroftherailvideo]

Love your models dude continue the work your style is amazing

[@shi-o8434]

idk why but i genuinely love this toby model, something about him just, oozes charm

[@tomyoldiron6715]

Welcome to the j70 exposed Wheels club bud. Nice to see you enjoy the look too

[@ItsTrainBoy]

Thank you brotha man; it is a club of high prestige and I’m proud 😤🤣

[@ShipRail_Studios]

All Toby needs now is a custom Henrietta behind him!

[@loganj.harrison6315]

Honestly this is my favorite custom so far 🙏

[@exarkun42]

Isn't it funny how I do my custom Toby, only for you to upload 2 weeks later? Are you also doing the Scottish bois? All joking aside, it is a cool custom, and I wholeheartedly agree with your assessment of the Rapido J70. Even before the repaint I loved mine. Sidenote: Rapido are working on Wisbech and Upwell coaches which will be sold in packs with new numbered J70s, one of which is GER 127 (i.e. the REAL Toby, as referenced in Awdry's lore book)

[@SixSmallWheels]

the wooden box on wheels is one of my faveorites

[@briandesens144]

Awesome video trainboy

[@Meekio]

I just came home from school and this is the best thing that could have happened

[@chasesrailwaylinesrr6447]

1 thing I find funny about Toby from the TV series in the episode busy going backwards you can see tobys chassis pushing toad and the trucks

[@Leonardo-cw1dd]

“no side plates either. and he [police officer] wrote it in his note book” bah that looks fancy good without the side plates i like it

[@harrisonallen651]

Toby’s time to shine

[@MatthewChenault]

[@tobystevens1274]

I actually think the face size looks great at that scale 👍👍

[@fr8ener96]

1. Toby looks incredible! you did a great job on him! 2. just wondering, why aren't you a fan of hook-and-loop couplers? (I'm not complaining, it's just a question.)

[@ItsTrainBoy]

It’s not that I’m not a fan of them as much as I wasn’t a fan of the big hole the tramplates had when removed; thankfully that’s easily fixed with this guy though :)

[@fr8ener96]

[@josecarlossalazarpostigo662]

​@@ItsTrainBoy ¿Dónde conseguiste uno de esos, hay de otros modelos como por ejemplo E-2?.

Just look at Toby. Absolutely phenomenal. He would fit in with the cancelled Thomas movie by Weta.

5:53. Wow 130!for all of that detail like that's the same price as a bachmann train set at my hobby lobby wow!

Dude Rapido is just yes

[@mistahj2u]

Toby is my spirit animal!

[@rdhnl]

Toby looks great. He even better with your deangoods James.

[@fishpop]

That shot of him that allows you to see in his cab, shows he DOES have the typical steam engine smokebox door. In hindsight this seems obvious but it's still interesting to know.

[@TTTEoliverFan]

Amazing model my friend, I absolutely love this model and keep doing what ur doing especially with ur weathering 😉👍

[@ItsTrainBoy]

Thank you brother man, I’ll try my best! :)

[@BIG_RED_PRODUCTIONS_official]

@@ItsTrainBoy Tranboy I have an impossible challenge for you I want you to make a troublesome truck face and then put it on the smoke Box door after you make it look like it's been beat up to have fire face

[@bryantan863]

The Rapido J70 steam tram is definitely perfect to make it look like Toby The Tram Engine in model form 100%.

[@MachRacer4]

I have one of the J70’s with the cowcatchers and sideplates.

[@AtkataffTheAlpha]

Now you gotta make a custom Henrietta to go along with Toby. This is optional but something to consider later down the line

[@proxyclean4039]

Great video! I don't know why the intro music gave me Jobby The Hong flashbacks-

[@bluefuzzball351]

James: hey toby where's your side plates? Toby: I decided to go with a more unique design. Also, I like at the beginning of the video how you made it look like Toby was reading his own book.

[@Nate_the_Great-4472]

That would be a great chassis for a Strasburg Thomas!

[@BrokenBuffer]

Please tell me how you make the eyes.

[@Dallen9]

It's a nice What if Toby didn't run on the Tram way for a jount. I like it.

[@Bluegreenslug]

This is a good Toby (I cant think of much else)

[@Drakestorm87]

You know what would be cool? If you made a hatch in the hill of your layout to put a GoPro in so we could see the engines go through.

[@thefunnymartian9841]

Great dirty object you made. Tho seriously that is actually amazing

[@ItsTrainBoy]

Thank you brother man :)

[@MrNosRailway]

These models look great, I really enjoy your style. I'd love to one day see a Gordon in your style. Would you keep him as an A1 or would you go a different route?

Question do you have the Bachman thomas model with steam and whistle sounds?

[@simplybutter1]

Ever gonna do a stepney model?

[@loona4133]

Wow. Looks cool

[@Mr.C_the_Artist]

2:45 why does this sound in character, i imagine he would do it like in areas he knows he can and where police are (especially a certain one) to mess with them

[@wolfsoul8297]

Now you need to do Henrietta

[@cesarsaladx]

Wait, so if you look through the front doorframes of Toby, do you see the back of his face? Kinda creepy. Now wheres Henrietta?

[@jancraft3539]

you did a great job on the wood cuz it looks like wood from an old violin

[@idkwhatimdoing563]

This is a dam awesome model

[@EmilyChaosDrivr]

Mr boy. May i suggest putting the face on the other side of the engine (rear). I think it would look very unique that way.

[@TheLostGamerMan]

He would still look good witj blue sideplates weather the lower part is there or not

[@roxaclock]

i started the video and immediately got jumpscared by the choice of music

[@4014train]

Toby: “I don’t need to listen to no police I can do whatever I want”

[@Uptownloki47]

I'm interested in maybe making a Thomas OC based off of an American locomotive. Any ideas what I should do?

[@SwordlordRoy]

What part of America are you thinking? I mean, I've thought of making some OCs based upon a fictional branch of the Denver & Rio Grande (D&RG), since I'm in Colorado and that's what's local. That means I'm looking at Narrow Gauge (3ft Gauge in particular).

[@SPG69]

2:45 why does sound in character for some reason

[@samster4044]

any ideas on the next custom you make (for something easy i say duck or the scots, for a challenge i say edward)

[@fishpop]

I can't hear this music without thinking of JobbyTheHong. He even developed lyrics for the damn thing.

[@brendanboiman]

*jobbythehong has entered the chat*

[@Thomasremakes55]

Trainboy So are you getting Henrietta to ? Or is she a Hen house 😂

[@ItsTrainBoy]

Absolutely, Rapido is making a larger tramway coach that I think will be perfect I just gotta wait for it to release- 😭 BUT until then I may have to get a Hen House and throw a Henrietta face on it

[@tomjs1002]

Cool model

[@oldironstudios5214]

Maybe the Toby model’s side plates got damaged so he temporarily hasn’t got them on, which explains the worried look on his face.

[@therustyfox420]

For a second I thought I clicked on a jobbythehong video-

[@calebc.2290]

you know train boy, he ain’t rws accurate unless he has two faces. but other than that what an outstanding model.

[@MeyerProductions]

what if you made an electric toby tram engine, like just get an electric tram and paint it brown and give it a face, or maybe make a powered coal truck for runaways.
