WW2 Thomas & Friends Custom Compilation: Armored Thomas, Percy, Gordon, & More- Model Showcase!

These engines are waaaaay too happy to be going to war. It's almost sadistic! Nicely done.

[@altermike3197]

I think Toby being a medic train is a cool idea regardless if you wanna make more of these or not; like, Henrietta could be converted to a mini hospital on wheels I dunno, this concept just fascinates me

[@jamesgroccia644]

I don’t think Toby would fit as a medic train. See, medics need to go to the wounded troops FAST. What’s Toby? Definitely not fast

[@onetrackmind3558]

@AlterMike actually I think with his speed or small body along also his quiet sounds compared to the others I think if he's given camouflage green to go with his brown paint I think it would be better if he was a more of a scouting engine. He and Henrietta are both camouflage and with a Henrietta having soldiers in her arba scouting team.

[@fastoutnotforkids7192]

Cool idea. This idea was actually called a m*a*s*h until. I forgot the meaning behind it but if you watch the tv show with the same name or look it up it should tell what it is.

[@TankEngine97]

The WW2 model showcases were some of the first videos of yours I watched. Not many people have made WW2 themed models and seeing these made them feel fresh, new and something different.

[@comicfan1324]

I remember that wonderful railway series book where Thomas blasted through the front lines. Truly a classic. All jokes aside, I love how these look. (Plus we don’t know what happened in the 1940s on Sodor. So for all we know, this could have happened.)

[@scottowens1200]

Then whach "stories of war" by Victor tazing

[@theshipyard8798]

I mean, we know canonically there was the 'Barrow Blitz', in which Barrow was bombed

[@ExtoFunny]

silly little engine with a moustache: "I SAID A FILL OF COAL NOT FILL THE HOLE OF THE PEOPLE WE CAUGHT!!" He fumed

[@comicfan1324]

This is what I would have titled Gordon: “Project: SHOOTING STAR.” I loving homage to The Great Race and a play on words considering he has a cannon he can use to SHOOT down the enemy troops.

[@clumzymatt8120]

The protectors of sodor are back

[@TrainKidSid]

The wee lads that help me find this channel over a year ago!

[@smolderbreath3238]

I see Gordon being the type to flex how many airplanes "he" shot down in an hour.

[@potato1627]

These models are incredible. I would imagine how these engines react when they are getting fired by German MG42s

[@gageblymyer]

"Bust my buffers!" Percy said, as his crew once again shot down another B-17.

[@joshuabrown6016]

With your wwII models you've given me the idea what if thomas was in clone wars

Donald and Douglas would fit in this so good

[@_casey_idk_]

I love the ww2 customs they're pretty cool

[@singletona082]

'So much so that I'm making an entire fleet. Sodor will be armed to the TEETH!' And Toby rolls through it all STILL not giving a single solitary fuck.

[@bottlecap7533]

Toby is just the badass to do shit like that

[@thepoltroon992]

omg i love howitzer on the little truck on the percy model. wow i love it. great job my chap.

[@karolpetr9336]

9:46 the recoil of that flak 88 when fired is gonna send the whole consist down the line at frikin mach 2

[@sovietunion142]

I'm honestly worried about the fact that the trains themselves are larger than a freaking Sherman

[@ItsTrainBoy]

Is it because it’s dangerous or because you’re the Soviet Union

[@keldeostudies149]

2:32 i started imaginings when you said that of a henry with a peace sign on his tender, a headband around the funnel, war paint, a flag, a coach turn medical transport, and a rail gun I could imagining the armour truck saying: "I CAN TAKE YOU ALL ON!" base on a quote from transformers revenge of the fallen

[@TBone-bz9mp]

Henry would definitely be the type to join a hippy commune in the 60s, he probably have flower power painted on him and have tinted specs.

[@SuspiciousSalmon-pk3sk]

actually the funniest train-tuber out there

[@ahalfsesameseedbun7472]

What you could do for Percy is put a mortar in the truck and put the cannon on a warwell wagon. Also maybe add some steel plates onto Gordon similar to Fallout Sodor. Maybe have James be a troop transport.

[@kittenkommentries5796]

James would probably like that, he still gets to pull passengers in theory. I know it’s WWII themed and James would be very serious about it and put aside his posh behavior but I couldn’t but think he’d still be doing the job he likes them most.

[@darkstormnemesis]

This is pretty good models

[@karimarvargas8603]

9:36 my favorite part

[@Mr.toasterandclay]

The ww2 models are back

[@thatguyhere9085]

You know, I love the idea for World War II engines, and I sort of have a head canon of my own for it. Use it if you want, I don’t mind. So in the Railway Series, Thomas came to Sodor in 1915 during World War I. In 1940, when World War II was starting up, he wanted to fight in it, helping Britain be unscathed by the Germans. He managed to persuade the main 11 engines to join as well, and now I think I want to make WWII engines myself too. If it is alright, of course.

[@noahdavidson8733]

I love this series of models that you’ve done. It’s honestly inspired me to do the same, once I have a deeper pocket.

[@asteroidrules]

This is a fantastic idea that would be great to see expanded upon further. The armored trains used by the Polish army in World War 2 did use 0-6-0 tank engines as their locomotives, of course they weren't E2s and were instead Austro-Hungarian surplus armored train engines from the First World War. If you ever want to expand on this idea further I would strongly recommend an armored version of one of the Arlesdale engines to resemble the RH&D's mini armored train, or James pushing around a very angry railway gun. Something you may want to try if you want to black out an engine or two is after painting the engine black you apply a bit of blue with a drybrush or sponge, that'd give the impression that the black paint is being worn away and revealing the old northwestern blue paint underneath.

I’m happy to see this back again been a while 😃

[@Skatchward]

"Beyond fucking troublesome truck" Lmaoo

[@youchoob8090]

If these are no longer continued I still have a suggestion Remember the truck on Henry from Sodor Fallout? What if Henry was like that with some modifications like a couple of flatbeds with armaments on them? Flak Guns and AA Cannons with a couple of black old express coaches that have MMG’s on them. Henry is already green, just have to paint him a few different shades of green and you have some camouflage. Plus he took this role because he knew James wouldn’t be strong enough and Gordon would be too busy with Evacuation trains, as well as Spencer.

[@Deuce_and_a_half]

I really like what you've done with these models. May I suggest some additions around the face areas on these and similar loco's. I think it would go a long way. Right now they feel almost "unprotected". But since you can't exactly give engines an M1 Steel Pot Helmet, I suggest something like a neckerchief around one of their mouths. And also maybe a pair of goggles on another loco's forehead. Maybe try fitting a garrison cap around a chimney on one. Also on tanks stowage was a big thing. I think if you put some wooden ammo crates on Gordon's running board. And maybe a rolled up tarp hanging on ropes on one side of his boiler, it would look cool.

[@donaldduckith6792]

I do think that if I were ever to do something like this myself (I'll probably never have the money or expertise) I would use Hornby models, which despite being less accurate to the series, would make them look a lot more realistic to real life, and you could probably model them after the RWS instead. And they probably have a black A1/A3 somewhere

[@FictionalADDON]

I would like to imagine Gordon coming across a tank that is heavily damaged but the canon is in good condition so the tank crew managed to install it on Gordon’s cab.

[@svsmodelling2857]

Lamps like that on WW2 Thomas (v2) are headcode lamps not for sight there to say to the signalman what type of train it is the best layout of brackets are top middle, 3 on the running bord, 2 in the smoke box door although u can do that last one with TTTE characters but if the southern did it it’s a good idea even the leader thought of as a failure was rebuilt as a electric as a new lease of life and the E2s well they resulted in the most famous steam engine ever, Thomas so anything the southern did had a good outcome not always imitately but it happens and the LNER tho ANYTHING THEY DO RESULTS IN PEOPLE BELIVING LIES AS FACT .2 ROUNDS DOWN NOT UP SO MELT THAT MEDEL OFF OF MALLARD IT DIDNT GO 126 IT WENT 125.2 UGH WHY DIDNT THE LNER GET ABSORBED INTO THE SOUTHERN REGEION AND BULLEID PACIFICS RUN THE LENGTH THE THE COUNTRY (P.s you showed a A3 when you said Gordon was a A1 btw tornado a engine wich is only about a year or so older then me is a A1 also Gordon is actually a A0 a semi-unsecsesful (as expected) LNER experiment wich resulted in the A1)
