Sudrian Spotlight - NWR No. 106 ' Perseus'

[@TankEngine97]

I take it Percy is a nickname for this in this reboot world

[@RailwayManiaNet]

Yep!

[@jvbndofvbnebe]

I wish we had THIS reboot instead of the other...

[@SPG69]

Bro predicted Percy having a “Lucky Bell” in AEG

[@RailwayManiaNet]

Did that happen in the TV show? haha cool

[@Sudriantank743]

​@@RailwayManiaNet I think they stole that from you.

[@rudyproductions4557]

Awesome! Percy has always been a mess, both mechanically as well as in regard to his pre-Sodor days. And you’ve definitely done him justice!

[@warbabyproductions]

I knew the bell look familiar in it’s on way. I saw a picture of the bell with a her 4-6-p

[@patrickwebb7311]

That looks really good. I look forward to seeing what you do with the other engines.

[@RailwayManiaNet]

Thank you!

[@patrickwebb7311]

@@RailwayManiaNet You're welcome.

[@jacobrealsponge.o2436]

oh my this is so amazing I just love it

[@kennycartoons]

Stumbled apon your channel looking for a different video, but your vids are amazing so I've subscribed

[@RailwayManiaNet]

Thank you!

[@westinbridges7321]

This is so good 😊

[@MrJamos779]

Question, considering the many design ques you took from other engines to create this model, what would you, in your headcanon, classify "Perseus" as?

[@RailwayManiaNet]

I've since rebuilt this model a fair bit to make it a bit more like the Avonside tanks. There were many and varied industrial designs so it gives you a bit of leeway with fictional locos.

[@warbabyproductions]

I mean 4-6-0 my mistake

[@engineerskalinera]

You do realise that it's possible to edit your comments, right?

[@thiruraj3866]

Engineer Skalinera // Neon Nickel editing your comment gets rid of the heart

[@engineerskalinera]

@@thiruraj3866 oh. thats sounds like a stupid design choice on KZbin's part

[@bizarre_par]

Beautiful. If I could 3D model this, I would.

[@EngineerRailMan]

What did Perseus do between 1920-1935?

[@thiruraj3866]

The sudrian great western hybrid

[@ryantshaw-rts6936]

Could you do a video on how to make a loco RC operated? I'd love to have an RC engine.

[@RailwayManiaNet]

Sure thing! I might try and film an installation on a diesel as they have a bit more space inside, so it's easier to fit things in, will put it on my list of vids to make :)

[@ryantshaw-rts6936]

@@RailwayManiaNet Awesome, can't wait.

[@littlebacongreengreatweste2606]

I love the original rws canon

[@MrNoUsername]

This Percy had some similarities to the Rev Awdry’s spare Percy model. Did you take some inspiration from his model?

[@RailwayManiaNet]

I guess the similarities are inevitable!

[@SodorTrain1225]

Will Toby be made to help Perseus at the harbor?

[@RailwayManiaNet]

Sure from time to time I imagine they'll work together!

[@dalek4463]

I’m guessing in this reboot universe most engines were scrapped by 1953 or 1960s and 70 due to dieselisation by BR.

[@RailwayManiaNet]

Yes although in this AU it's never taken over by BR, but stays independent.

[@LMS5935]

@@RailwayManiaNet Yeah like the railway series

[@jacobditmars8414]

Didn't you update Perseus since this video was made?

[@RailwayManiaNet]

Yes indeed, massive rebuild on a Hatton's Barclay chassis, still awaiting RC to be refitted though.

[@railwaylegend2955]

Will you model the Coffee Pots at some point?

[@RailwayManiaNet]

I am hoping to, I have the bodykit for one just working on motorising it

[@Rob1_5]

Why the knuckle couplers?

[@RailwayManiaNet]

My layout at home is a shunting puzzle and one of the things I really wanted was hands-off operation, so I've used Kadee couplers and track-mounted magnets to make use of the delayed action uncoupling. They aren't very realistic for a UK outline loco but for the operation they give me I think it's an ok compromise (at least until I can get tiny robot shunters to operate 3-link couplings for me...)

[@thelittletug9321]

Also there just better

[@megalosaurusstudios2]

Why does it have knuckle couplers?

[@RailwayManiaNet]

I tend to use kadees as I like the way they work
