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?

[@boxcarthehusky420]

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

[@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.

[@TankEngine97]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@locke_colt1513]

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

[@Poltergeist-vm8wq]

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

[@thatonegarfieldsonicfan]

5:06 “Don’t call me dirty Percy !”

[@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

[@Mile_Noukin]

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

[@ItsTrainBoy]

Instantly failed 🤣

[@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.

[@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.

[@captaincool3329]

[@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.

[@transportationfan3156]

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

[@SUG1987]

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

[@ZCKSCB]

I love how fucking angry you sound at the beginning LOL

[@starn1ah]

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.

[@Lampironstudios215]

percy: before sodor

[@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.

[@josephpendergrass6067]

Yay I'm so glad about the content

[@briandesens144]

Awesome video trainboy

[@songopaul5863]

Bachmann tried to weather this engine before it was even packaged

[@RogerGaming35]

Good vid yes^⁠_⁠^ Keep making god content! Oh, and u should try a bacmann starter set. IT WOULD BE SO AWESOME!!!

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

[@valesbridge_yt]

finally billy has a friend

[@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)

[@Captin_Krispy_Offical]

Don’t know why but I got a kick out of seeing the gwr Percy pulling a tomey Percy.

[@smokeyjoeproductions]

Bachman At it’s cheapest. Great job!

[@EngineShedStudios]

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

How did you makes the Eyes for your models?

[@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!

[@TSTM84]

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

[@RetroBit_16]

where did you get the percy face

[@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"?

[@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

[@witcherstudios9351]

What’d you use to fit the face?

[@ItsTrainBoy]

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

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

[@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!
