Making James the Red Engine in OO/HO

[@PlayDontPause]

You have no idea how tripped up I got when you mentioned the tv series and then showed your own footage. Like there was a brief moment there where I couldn’t tell the difference.

[@TheTrainModeller]

No way! I really appreciate that's very kind. Thank you!!

[@animated_toy_trains]

he looks epic!!! That end shot with the branchline coaches is 🔥

[@TheTrainModeller]

Thank you so much!! :D

[@aJunctionMalfunction]

The camera angle for 3:21 is really spot on, its focused on James' face, but its not positioned too high up, or too low down. There is something rather classic-esq about the camera angle. Of course, I do naturally love James' smug face, so befitting for such a boastful character.

[@TheTrainModeller]

Thank you so much! I adore that James face it is so spot on hahaha

[@Knight_Rail]

amazing james model. once again, your modeling work never fails to impress me. love that smoke unit, well done as always

[@TheTrainModeller]

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!

bachmann's original 3 improved beautifully by you!

3:23 My fave James face, makes me chuckle every time

[@TheTrainModeller]

It's a great one. Suits James so well.

@@TheTrainModeller All I can think of is Trampys voice for him when ever I see it. And I chuckle, also James is my favorite of the standard gauge characters

[@amitysluzara2022]

James truly is a splendid engine!

[@TheTrainModeller]

He is indeed!

[@amitysluzara2022]

​@@TheTrainModeller you should be very proud of this incredible model!

[@Steamenginesunited3456]

The new tender makes such a difference

[@TheTrainModeller]

It really does! It's interesting that James and Edward are so differently shaped in the original lineup.

[@emagenevanhorn1543]

By far your best work yet

[@TheTrainModeller]

Thank you! I'm very proud of how he turned out.

[@StationFilms12345]

For a really frustrating engine to deal with, he really cause you no frustration in this process

[@TheTrainModeller]

I did skip over a couple of problems I had with some of his old wheels, but it was an easy fix (got new wheels). Other than that, he was fairly straightforward!!

[@StationFilms12345]

@@TheTrainModeller well I'm glad to hear that he wasn't that much of a pain to you 😊 And I'm even more glad to hear that you answer a joke-like comment

[@LunoTheCheekyBlue1]

wait, is James gonna have video that is similar to that season 5 episode where he nearly dies to a tree?

[@TheTrainModeller]

He might do..... :P

[@JustinFrazier_360]

So amazing video dude

[@TheTrainModeller]

Thank you!

[@LunoTheCheekyBlue1]

HEY ITS JAMES!

[@thesudriana016]

Those 3D printed models look absolutely fire! It's a shame Shapeways closed down, so I don't know how the future of printing these body-shells would be for future Thomas modelers.

[@TheTrainModeller]

Shapeways definitely opened a lot of doors, I believe there are people in the community that offer a printing service which might help!

[@sfm_ferguson5033]

Question for the smoke unit, does it get hot to where it could potentially melt the funnel!???

[@TheTrainModeller]

I haven't run into that issue... yet. The Seuthe smoke units do have insulation around them so that might be saving me for the time being.

Oh my

[@1471SirFrederickBanbury]

great job! Bachmann did really screw up James and Percy, though Thomas oddly enough isn't too bad and only has a couple of minor issues. I've been wanting to make a James with 6' wheels to make him better proportioned. Also, Alan Gibson handrail knobs are much better than Markits ones, with the latter being WAY over scale (pretty much double the size of what they should be), and with polish steel wire, they'll really give a nice bling.

[@TheTrainModeller]

Thank you so much! It's weird how I never noticed just how bad Percy looked until I made my custom model. Appreciate the advice RE handrail knobs!! All the best :D

[@kellyashfordtrains2642]

Very nice. But the eyes should be moving.

[@masterJ2004]

HO/OO scale is too small for that, I'm afraid. (With the smoke unit that is) :(

[@setheatontheautobot4586]

FIRST ONE!!

[@garywyn]

Music needs turning down. Distracting and could barely hear you.

[@TheTrainModeller]

I'll keep an eye on those levels for the next video, appreciate the feedback!
