Pootis Customs - Annie and Clarabel

[@FlatMagnets1992]

To bring models that have gone through so many changes back from the brink and with renewed life is a beautiful thing. Working miracles here! Not the first time I’ve seen someone repurpose the battery-operated Annie and Clarabel bodies but this is the first time I’ve seen such extra loving care taken to really push them that extra mile.

[@numptypootis8012]

I really liked this comment here, never thought of it that way and you've made it sound like such a beautiful thing. Thank you very much for your nice words, I've got a third sibling planned for the two as I bought a cheap Clarabel at a car boot and I've yet to get around to converting her into another composite

[@FlatMagnets1992]

@@numptypootis8012 Absolutely! I envy your collection of Hornby Thomas stock and I moved out of my parents’ place years ago so my modeling dreams are very much limited these days so I can kind of live vicariously through videos like these, haha. Doesn’t hurt that your club layout is awesome too! Makes for great B-roll

[@TobyOliverHenryFan]

YES, THIS SERIES IS BACK! YEEEEEEÊEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEĒEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!

[@RickAtanga2023]

Finally we can see the iconic duo, i saw them in your Instagram and i was wishing for a video of them, and the day finally is here.

[@ThomasTogTid]

The Series is back, BABY!

[@RonCooper-nl4pn]

Hi Ryan, it would have been interesting to see the two put together and turned into a bogey coach ! Maybe another time A. Regards from Ron. 🚂🚂👍 0:02

[@ghostengineer]

Great job

[@AnBr09]

Cool stuff you do man!

[@TobyOliverHenryFan]

By the End, I assume Edward is next. Also I think you should give Annie's and Clarabelle's names on their sides.

[@thomasawl]

I’m going feral rn

[@Splendid_Studios]

Sorry to ask but could you do more custom showcases on your hornby thomas fleet or maybe even an updated collection nice Annie and clarabel though I think they look better than the bachmann ones!

[@numptypootis8012]

I think I'll be doing another collection video soon, once I got some more major characters built or collected it'd be worth doing another collection video otherwise I'd do one now, suddenly get Henry and then the vide is out of date haha

[@t.v.i.m]

This video brought me a little closer to making my own, like I put them in my cart closer :0

[@eddierools]

I suppose it makes sense to fill in the push-pull windows on Annie, but it's rather hard for me to get used to the change XD Very nicely done, I plan on using the Battery Powered shells myself just because they're more durable than a 3D print and look really rather nice. And I also plan on making use of the Thomas shell as well too.

[@numptypootis8012]

Good old kitbashing, usually the materials are more durable than Resin printed model currently! I've seen people use the Thomas shells to make their "improved Hornby Thomas" models using either old Dapol Terrier or Hornby Toby chassis.

[@MrNoUsername]

Personally, I prefer Annie without her windows. For me, it doesn't really make sense for her to have them if she doesn't have push pull equipment fitted to her

[@ngfstudio4818]

awesome

[@ROKMAN1445]

I can’t believe we got taken back to the desk in a numpty pootis 8012 video 😔

[@numptypootis8012]

Take me back to your desk Mr milwakue road

[@LukeOfSodor22]

How come no one noticed of the bachmann Bill or Ben in the background with Toby

[@numptypootis8012]

That most likely is the Hornby Ben that lives on the layout as I don't own any of the twins by bachmmn

[@Mich13._.1]

What with the diesel 10horn?

[@numptypootis8012]

So at Bressingham we have an airhorn in the guards compartment of our trains to signal to the driver we are all ready to go after blowing the whistle and guard is on board, I just thought it'd be a niche headcanon thing to have Clarabel to do

[@Mich13._.1]

Oooh

[@trainlover74]

I have to ask this or all those ho models or 00 models your because they look amazing and I wanted to ask if you could possibly do a collection video

[@numptypootis8012]

Thank you, all my models are OO gauge as they're mostly Hornby based models, Bachmann don't make the Thomas range in HO scale because the engines and rolling stick are much bigger than conventional HO scale stuff out there. I'll eventually make an updated collection video on all my OO Thomas stuff but I got a few more models to make!

[@trainlover74]

Cool
