When Bachmann made Percy but it wasn't - TTTE HO/OO Model Showcase

[@exveefan]

Always interests me that the Non-Percy comes with a functioning front coupler. And yet Bachmann still release Percy without one.

[@levidarling5107]

Yeah Bachmann, what gives?

[@SodorTrain1225]

The time-lapse portion of the running session makes me almost fall off my chair, especially when the Plarail Percy zooms through the tunnel on the flatbed.

[@JagoHazzard]

I have one of these, purely because I like the look of it. It reminds me of the engines the GWR acquired at the Grouping, the ones that ran on tiny little railways in South Wales. The ones the GWR really resented having to deal with and tried to modify. I always thought that would be a good backstory for Percy. He was built for some Welsh dock railway, the GWR acquired and modified him (and that's why he doesn't look like any real engine), then he was sold off when the GWR replaced him with something more standard.

[@TankEngine97]

Ah yes. Back before Bachmann UK sold Thomas products. How they got their hands on the tooling still boggles me.

[@boxcarthehusky420]

Bachmann's Percy was originally a shunter for a shroom farm, the P in Percy stands for Psilocybin.

[@mgr_video_productions]

Love to think of this as an origin Percy before coming to Sodor.

[@GP30_Foamer]

I saw one of these models actually used as Percy in a Christmas video a few years ago and I always wondered why it was in this livery. It’s nice to finally figure out why.

[@Poltergeist-vm8wq]

This reminds me of an AU I had where Percy is a modified GWR shunter, like how Thomas is a modified E2

[@locke_colt1513]

New from Hornby, the all new "I can't believe it's not percy!" caterpillar!

[@bow-tiedengineer4453]

I mean, as Percy being ex GWR is a common headcannon, due to Trojan the Avonside 0-4-0 being GWR and Percy at least having the frames of an Avonside 0-4-0, having a GWR liveried Percy is a fairly normal thing. My personal headcannon is that Percy was originally an Avonside 0-4-0 that was rebuilt in the early 20th century using spares off of several other Victorian era engines that were withdrawn. Around the time of the grouping, his little industrial railway ended up bought out by the GWR, but he was then sold off at the first excuse because converting him to GWR standards would basically mean completely rebuilding him again, and they couldn't be bothered. That's how Topham got him on the cheap.

[@Drif19]

Lol! I always wanted you to do an vid on the Junior choo choo Twain line from Bachmann!

[@Mile_Noukin]

Trainboy go 3+ months without making/reviewing a Percy model: impossible XD

[@ItsTrainBoy]

Instantly failed 🤣

[@jackjackbt]

Just realized I have been watching the end of the video and was waiting for it to start 😅

[@songopaul5863]

Bachmann tried to weather this engine before it was even packaged

[@exarkun42]

I always enjoy your quirky customs. Keep up the good work! I snagged a Hornby Great Northern recently, going to paint him up in GNR livery. That is (I guess) my quirky custom project.

[@Lampironstudios215]

percy: before sodor

[@AlecWheelweld]

Percy actually looks natural like this

[@transportationfan3156]

5:06 Atleast you didn't call him dirty...

[@BIG_RED_PRODUCTIONS_official]

Yo who else feels like Percy is an American 440 saddle tank that was then modified to have one of the doughnuts removed and then was painted in a weird green color and then was shipped off to sodor after working at many different companies

[@levidarling5107]

Call me crazy, but I love this model locomotive, it’s like Bachmann had their own head cannon back story for our favorite little green caterpillar.

[@G.E_Trainz]

mate your not the only one, its in ma fookin name. to say o love the GWR is an understatement

[@David_Mattox]

Awesome video! Whether I can find one of these or get a Peckett involved, I hope to be able to do my final Percy soon.

[@EngineShedStudios]

AU Percy is my jam and this guy looks awesome! Pre-Sodor look all the way!

[@deadaccount192]

5:06 “Don’t call me dirty Percy !”

[@kompst_tu]

When did they lose their license? I thought they stopped because they didn't want to market to the younger demographic due to the small parts or something

[@smokeyjoeproductions]

Bachman At it’s cheapest. Great job!

[@solikenoah]

I found the ''Running In'' when you put the tomy/early trackmaster percy near the layout it looked like the other Percy just was shocked and ran away.

[@briandesens144]

Awesome video trainboy

[@SouthernMaineFoamer]

Ok how did I predict Trainboy working on Percy

[@Jtube90]

He's always working on a Percy model in some shape or form lol

[@TheTrackSlasher46]

AHHHHHHH

[@loanedengineproductions]

I'd like to this this Percy runs the loch layout with Athena

[@Sandvich-Studios]

9:50 Nah Tomy Percy got kidnapped💀💀💀💀

[@ItsTrainBoy]

Bro’s on that Hobo tip he tryna ride free 😭

[@Damon_Drawings]

You should be checking there I think they’re going to sell him for 10022920010203020100202.99$

[@captaincool3329]

5:06 "let's hope he's not a filthy engine" Me: "or a Dirty Percy."

[@altermike3197]

I'm so glad Origins Percy came out

[@SudrianShunter]

Awesome video, Trainboy.

[@ItsTrainBoy]

Glad you enjoyed it bro! :)

[@ShiningTimeStudios475]

​@@ItsTrainBoy How do you apply custom faces to the engines?

[@SudrianShunter]

@@ItsTrainBoy ha, I especially liked the part where you basically "broke" him in and he ran over Sir Topham.

[@SudrianShunter]

@@ShiningTimeStudios475 blue tack.

[@t.v.i.m]

Bro that running in footage made Percy look like he was on ketamine

[@KyndlingStoneCB]

I love how fucking angry you sound at the beginning LOL

[@FictionalADDON]

Maybe that’s Percy before Sodor.

[@chasr34]

if you ever get interested into it, try checking out some lionel stuff, you could possibly use it as bigger scale of engines for your layout, or use their narrow gauge models (which fit on HO/OO track)

[@DuckTheGWREngine8]

This percy goes hard

[@valesbridge_yt]

finally billy has a friend

[@harrisonallen651]

Saddle Tanks are like onions; *L A Y E R S*

[@loganspear9085]

train gang!!!!!!!

[@Nubfist]

Please for the love of God use a brake van next time you are killing my soul. Great vid!

[@FluffyASMRUwU]

Trainboy have you ever heard of the first-ever Thomas merchandise called the Mikado Percy set from 1965

[@elsbridgeproductions]

Just as a bit of useful knowledge for the future, I'm fairly sure when you're running in engines, they should only be run light-engine, so no pulling or pushing any rolling stock. I may be wrong but I'm fairly sure it can put undue stress on the motor before it's fully run in. Of course since this is a second hand engine its not so important, but I figured I'd let you know for future reference!

[@TheGreyTurtleEntertainment]

So what you're saying, TB, is you like Onions. Cause layers.

[@nameless5512]

GWR 311, Percy before he was brought to the NWR as their 6th engine

[@Thomasremakes55]

Nice and I can’t wait for the g scale Percy 😁LoL

[@bluebellsfan8704]

have you ever thought about making a model of Gordon?

[@ograilways3814]

Hello, is it possible to add a front coupler to the original Bachman Percy to shunt trucks? Thanks!

[@MATT2productions]

Now thus reminds me of Percy Pre Sodor. How much did u get it for? I want one now

[@West_Coast_Mainline]

Percn’t

[@itsBridge]

can you please talk about Timothy the ghost engine?? I gotta hear your take on it and if you got better info on it

[@ThomasTogTid]

How did you remove the smokebox door?

[@mgr_video_productions]

Likely it was easily removable as it was probably friction fit

[@ItsTrainBoy]

^^ Just a little push from an exacto

[@ThomasTogTid]

Oh okay

[@TSTM84]

I really cannot seem to find these it’s like they are used for customs 🙃

[@maddalonefarms]

11:05 is that ertl Elizabeth?

[@Thomsn_Gazelle]

You still have the jack frost Percy? I thought you sold it.

[@BrokenBuffer]

How did you makes the Eyes for your models?

[@thepolishgenerator5915]

Wait, did you say something about Bachman not being able to make Thomas stuff anymore, at 2:44 and the part where you said "W- Wow, thanks Mattel, you really don't do more good decisions anymore"?

[@garrett_69777]

If this is a custom with layers... is it like onions? Or ogres??

[@eric555cuevas]

I think I’m buying one paint it Tamiya green and compare them

[@Ryder-a-Blaze]

Glow up moment

[@lashondatalbert8271]

A white sticky-tak so the eyes can be moved around!
