[@jackalopejim7468]

They said it wasn’t possible. They said it could only be made by corporations. They were wrong.

[@vitalitylimited]

I had to buy models. I had to do reviews. I even had to build. And I was so good at it that...it got me a Salty.

Salty may be discontinued, but his spirit will live on through Trainboy.

They're gonna re-release him

if you can solder, just swap the motor wires and you'll be set polarity wise.

I was gonna write a comment like this but u beat me to it lol. But yea do what this guy says TrainBoy!

[@CyberGlitched848]

or maybe the issue is with the pickup wires

[@tandfstories2938]

Man, I didn’t even know they removed him I thought they only removed his set (which I lucky found) but I guess I was wrong. However congrats on getting a salty

[@bladeobrian2144]

I honestly can’t fathom why Salty was discontinued, Supposedly he didn’t sell well, but he’s definitely one of the more popular characters, so if that’s true, I’m surprised!

[@douglasprobst5677]

It might be due to wiring defects

[@WildNorWester]

Well done on the assembly. It's essentially a 'Salty kit'. Their spare parts store is handy for that sort of thing. It's where I get most of the chassis' I use for my On30 scratchbuilds.

[@Shadow_Architect]

Well I guess I was right in saying you can put together salty like a LEGO set 😳

Watching this in 2023 Salty is back in the catalog

[@pohretra8485]

Watching in 2024 as a noob to Bachmann. I saw Salty, Donald, and Douglas are in the 2024 catalogue. But they aren't listed on Bachmann's website (as packaged releases. Their parts are still there). Are they discontinued? Or does Bachmann just temporarily delist items they don't have packaged stock for?

[@PercyandDuckfan94]

1/29/2022 update: The item is back in the catalog! Update: The face plate and chassis for the engine are gone from the Bachmann parts store!

[@Jason_OConnor]

I still look forward and hope you get the Scottish twins they’re my favorite characters

[@FrozenFan765]

GOOD NEWS!!!!!! Salty is coming back this year in 2022

[@MeyerProductions]

you cant stop me from building a salty, look at me go!

Hey stop exploiting our part shop to build discontinued bachman models.

Cool that they're actually bring back Salty now

[@timthetenderengine2495]

The James set is actually my first set. Proud to say that i still have it to this day

We have Build-a-Bear and now we have Build-a-Salty on Bachmann's parts store. I have chosen to go this route, and I was soooo happy to be able to get him. I was so excited about him being done that I posted a picture of him on my Twitter page

[@jacobrumens9601]

I am glad to say that Bachmann Salty is being re-released!

[@wyattdeaton4106]

“I’m trying to give you life!” Literally made me laugh

[@sleepy8490]

Bro that image for the faceplate at 1:04. trainboy if you're up for it the polarity can be fixed by opening the chassis and flipping the motors connections.

[@themightyhood-4117]

You know you can reverse the polarities by sodering off the wires from his motor that draw electricity from the pickups and reversing them so he'd run right way round

[@breenotcheese746]

"he's not a RWS character so ppl probably don't like him that much" YOU HAVE BEEN SEVERELY MISTAKEN

[@shadowripper8721]

thank you so much, i just ordered the parts to make a salty for me lol

[@therailfanman2078]

Bachmann: "how about no, you getting a salty" Trainboy: "how about yes, I'll parts build it"

[@therailfanman2078]

Trainboy: buys a chassis Bachmann: "fuck it we'll just dump it in some grease and call it a day"

[@RedJubilee]

At this point the O Face Thomas taking shape of the world should be in every video now 😂

[@steakandcake]

Salty is Bachmann’s best model, no question about it

[@mallard_streamer3508]

I have had a salty model for about 6 years now and ge is still running well

[@johnstewart5437]

I can’t believe Bachmann discontinued Salty. I mean come on he’s one of their best models in their Thomas line.

[@enginemedic73]

Train boy, I think the LEGO train sets (Specifically the crocodile locomotive) Would be a fine edition to your collection

[@MSR_Studios]

They discontinued him because he was the worst selling locomotive

[@skrillboystgdmvids9418]

Immediately after he says “Bachmann may have plans for Salty” Bachmann: Alright, you heard the man, let’s get to it!

[@owenhelstowski]

I don't want to boast but I got super lucky. I got mine for like 48 dollars shipped from a small model train shop in Nebraska Also I would love to see a wethering video on Salty

Your Bachmann salty going backwards than the others is like my Bachmann Donald

No 🧢 this man TrainBoy hacked the system with Bachmann it should be meme

[@lukechristmas3951]

6:15 Insert disturbing/funny caption for this moment here. In all seriousness though, I always wanted to get the Salty's Dockside Delivery set offered by Bachmann and when they discontinued that I thought at least they still make Salty and yet... I'm glad he's still available as a kit!

[@zech3398]

the promblem staly is no longer in the stores the solution:BE BOB THE BUILDER AND BUILD THE STALY OURSELFS

[@noahberg101]

I'm interested in seeing you weather him if you do. My guess as to how you would add his rust is masking the body and gently adding slight coats of the paints you used for your scrap oliver and toad. Or pigments up to you

[@rejectedsteam3171]

I never had money for the bachmann model Thomas engines now that I do salty might be my first one

[@brenlc1412]

A perfect world Bachmann would've done away with the gimmicky eye mech, based their models off the ruler photos instead of the PROMO ARTS, and listen to fans and re-release their beloved discontinued models instead of giving us lemon-flavored Rheneas. EDIT: Okay, this comment is more true now than ever. The ONE PERSON who wanted Bachmann Rebecca is jumping with joy rn.

[@TE389Productions]

My Hornby Thomas had a similar occurrence as your bachmann salty. It was so annoying that I ended up having to purchase an another motor for it.

[@fernsnyder7072]

ok ive been looking everywhere for that thing where the black kid falls off his chair, what is it???? its hilarious. another good video by the way. love your stuff...

[@brycehill6678]

Looks good. Personally I think these dockside shunters need to be heavily weathered.

[@cash3328]

Yo, ho, ho, and a bucket of prawns! The tiller spins...And the captain yawns!

it's nice to see a tte diesel shunter that's not a class 08 :)

No company can stop you trainboy

[@E4ridingagain]

No one: Trainboy going to make Arry: I can fixx u

[@DuckTheGreatWesternEngine0912]

Dang I wish he wasn’t discontinued because the only items I found on eBay for a Bachmann Salty was just his face. The bachmann salty must be very rare now. Last time I saw one on eBay it 175 dollars.

[@franklindelanoreroosevelt5041]

Bachmann: discontinues salty Trainboy : I'm making a Bachmann Salty and no one can stop me!"

[@lukeslocomotives]

6:13 Thomas: Imma head out

[@shiftingears1325]

We can rebuild him. Stronger.

[@DCCSodor2]

Alright, that was a smart move, although I wouldn’t be surprised if many of Salty’s parts go out of stock now lol. Funny thing too, my first set was also the James set.

[@trainlover74]

Yes

[@blue2263]

0:51 "That's what I'm saying-" (proceeds to fall).

[@BR45723]

Salty does have a reversed polarity, in short, the pickups are wired to the brushes incorrectly, it’s an easy fix, but it’s time consuming, I’ve had the same problem with my Triang OO gauge stuff, but like I said, easy fix

[@Steamenginesunited3456]

I love Bachmann Salty, but I love you more 😳

[@xavierjones1354]

You should do one of these with your Thomas model

[@ZekPatterson]

Man, how come the Thomas, Percy, and James faces are just not quite right but Salty is nearly spot on??

[@SodorStudiosAndCoProductions]

FUN FACT TrainBoy is the ONLY ONE worthy of really having the "TRAIN BOY" title, screw those "trainboy54, 55, 69" and whatever else

[@scotthamp384]

Good luck trying to find him even on eBay. There's only a pre-owned Salty

[@lectro_folf2424]

I think the reason why some of the models were discontinued is because they weren’t as popular as like Thomas or Percy, which gives them every right to do it, it just makes people upset who really like those characters

[@SweetLadyDelight]

We need to see Arthur on ur layout please make him

[@JCNUMBERand]

This can help me!

[@rabg7479]

U should make the Eurostar pip and Emma that would be quite cool

[@a.z.pantera5577]

The only problem I have with the Bachmann Salty is that he isn't weathered and grimy like he is in series. Also cant wait for Ryan and Daisy.

[@Texas_and_Pacific]

My friend did this with an atsf Texas type locomotive

[@copfandilanthetiger2231]

I really dont know why I dont like James know what I do like train boy VIDEOS!!!! but for real train boy I love you videos keep up good and can you make a train movie?

[@BillBenBoCo]

And a year later Salty was put back on the catalog

[@SonicDashie759]

I didn't know there was a Bachmann parts store....I have an empty Thomas that's missing the motor, face, cab roof and has broken buffers. I COULD'VE JUST ORDERED THE PARTS AND PUT HIM BACK TOGETHER?!

[@TheModelRailroader152]

You think salty would be probably popular Bachmann: Nah fam

[@knuckles1206]

So in short, Bachmann have made they're Salty into a Kitbuilt Locomotive?

[@transgaty2763]

Bachmann Salty has become Lego Salty

Are you gonna do a review of that Southern Railway 0-4-0?

[@grantyes2622]

Arry and Bert too

[@catastropheintended88]

I think I know why they discontinued it, 5:57

[@jacobg130productions]

This is both good, and bad. For one, it lets peeps know how to get a Salty without shelling out for it used or MIB, however this also means that these parts will soon become unavailable outright. The only thing we can hope from THAT is that Bachmann will see that salty is a MAJOR legacy character in Thomas and Friends and needs to be brought back. But if that isn’t the case… I gotta get on the Bachmann parts store QUICK.
