Trainboy90's Purchases

Nice haul Trainboy. I just picked up the 60th Anniversary Plastic Train also - haven't opened mine yet so cool to see your pictures of it in action.

Excellent T-Boy

Are all these, items that you have already won or are just bidding on?

I already won them. I'm still waiting for them to get to the Warehouse.

Spare parts looking good. Just wondering how to remove those siderods from the wheels?

I managed to get the 2018 Plarail Percy in the mail. I'm pretty excited to have him in my hands.

January 15th, 2020




Coming in next are 2 of the old style Plarail Edward and I also finally managed to get Plarail 2004 Talking Gordon in the mail.

January 16th, 2020
I managed to get in my latest batch of auctions. This included 3 more engines, 2 motor swaps, 2 wheel swaps, and a new chassis for Duck (Which was sourced from Plarail Siderods, an old Duck Chassis, White Clam Shell Motor, and some rear wheels I already had. I swapped the front wheels to match the rear ones.

Below there's a close look at the batch.


I decided to swap out the wheels of a Chinese DIesel 10 I have so he looks more like the other models of him from over the years. These were Plarail EF60/EF63 Wheels. The front ones came off of a Troublesome Truck.


Because of Duck's new build chassis which was made from a multitude of parts, this BR08 is given these grey rear wheels which were the only ones I could find.


This is what I did with the D51 motor, after minor modification, it fits perfectly.


I fitted this Thomas motor into a Thomas I have.


Duck's new chassis. It was built by using a old Plarail Duck Chassis, an old Plarail White Clam Shell, Plarail Siderods which were all from the auction, and a set of rear wheels I already had (I swapped out the rear wheels to match his looks.


After so long, I managed to get the regular model of the 2003-2014 style James. I got this one for a decent price and works like a charm. His face is in better condition than my Talking model from 2004 which was in production back in January 2005 (this one was in production in December 2009, almost 5 years later)


I also managed to get the orginial Percy model as well. For his age, he works perfectly fine. I orginially thought he was going to need a motor swap and wheel swap (Also why I got a spare pair of Percy wheels just in case but when I turned him on, he actually worked with no gear slip). He's just scratched up a little but I loved that he works well, unlike my 1992 THomas which I'll have to get working somehow (percyoshiki used a paper clip to fix Thomas's terminals).


Plarail Old Livery E1 Max. This one has the old livery and it is the grey wheel version. There was also a version with the yellow wheels. This one I got is just a little yellow, not much yellow though but still works fairly well.


Want to know what happened to Duck's old chassis, I gave it back to this Close Shave Duck I have as he lost his (?)original(?) chassis.

Part 1/3

January 31st, 2020







Here's the modified Hank

Here he is before the modification.


After I removed the fake rods. With a dremel with a cutting blade, it was easy to remove, all you have to do is to cut the supports for the rods and they'll fall right off.


The back on Hank's small tanks needed a bit of sanding down for the moving rods to go through perfectly.



I also needed to pull out the rusty axles because they were too short so I had a spare set just for his moving siderods.



Here he is after I first modified him, he looks great but I think he needed a bit more paint to make him more like in the show. Im my T&F Universe, I decided to do Hank's redesign with a Black Smokebox and Cab roof to match the other Sodor Engines.



After I went with the black roof. I acidently smeared Gold Marker on his roof so I decided to go with a black roof for him.


Minor Updates




More Updates

Part 2/3

After I decided to go with the White Footplate





There's one thing I forgot, the sides of Hank's footplate is actually supposed to be red like in the show. Also Hank now has weights in his tender.

The last of all my purchases prior to Mid January finally came in. I managed to get the 2013 model of Hank (2 to be exact). Both had rusty axles ends (Also the one with the moving siderods has rust on the screws that hold in the tender and a little on the front axles)

Trackmaster Chinese Gordon









I decided to look into another site for Tomy/Trackmaster engine I found which is a buying agent for TaoBao. I managed to cnatch up a weird version of Gordon which most of us here never heard of and Trackmaster Fisher Price Duncan. They have not yet arrived but more on them wheen they arrive here hopefully next month. This means there will be 4 more customs on the way as 2 will be kept as is.
