- First video of 2024, and I tackle two jobs, the first is a conversion of the Bachmann 009 Skarloey Railway coach to the Talyllyn Railways coach 4.
The second is painting up me! I got 3D scanned and printed by Modelu at the 2023 Warley show, and the figure is here! yey!
find me on instagram at ...
cheers

Soooo good to see someone else using the amazing detol! If you buy old dead kitbuilt stuff it's the only way to bring them back from the edge!
Great art dude, you tuned a toy into a model!
Absolutely, it’s amazing not many people use it
Good stuff, got bit by the train bug after a trip to UK to see the NRWM and tour the narrow gage heritage lines. My son is a lifelong fan of T&F, Wife fell in love with Snowdania and seeing the original hardware and preservation efforts was amazing to me. Thanks for sharing your skill and for keeping the history alive on the Talyllyn.
That’s great, there’s lovely railways
Great news on winning the photo competition, well deserved. Modelu really do an excellent job, definitely is a mini you George. More great tips again thanks. Cheers James
Thanks James, I was so chuffed to win the competition, such a nice confidence boost
I have a trick to avoid the paint seeping under the masking edge... Once masked, spray first a thin coat of the first color then once touch dry you spray the final color. The thin coat will create a dam to avoid other paint coats to get under.
The paint job is excellent and the figure is nice. For flesh, you could try the Ammo by MiG figure paints flesh set, or the Vallejo one. Both are quite good.
Brilliant Thankyou, I’ll give it a go Eric
More good stuff George. I make sure I check your channel every Friday morning now. You even inspired me to do my own videos for my micro layout builds
Good to hear, yes I’ll try and catch your videos!
Glad to see your figure is now driving Douglas! Still so amazed at how much weathering can do. I got 2 of the peco NG Christmas vans so I took some of your techniques to one of them and it's amazing how just a black wash and some dry brushed snow brought the wagon from cartoony to real life! Lovely stuff as always!
Great to see you giving it a go, yes it really brings a level of realism to the models
I did vote for you and i'm glad you won .COYB
Thankyou so much for your support ❤️
More great stuff George. Great tips re Coach No.4 ill need that one plus a few more on my backdated Rhydyronen Layout set in the 60/ early 70s. Regards James
I’d love to see the layout when you finish, James
Spitzenmäßig erläutert. Danke
Thankyou so much
bachmann make a skarloey coach in a TR livery. maybe in the future you can use that.
Yes possibly
absolutley lovely i don t know how you afford this stuff 009 is stupidly expensive
I was sponsored by a few of the companies that sell or make this stuff - otherwise I wouldn’t be able to do it! But too be fair, it depends on what you want. A sound fitted double fairlie is a huge amount of money, but 3D printed bodies are budget prices
Espicially in Australia
Those are really thick plastic sides on the Bachmann coach. I guess child proof given the pedigree. I wondered if you considered gluing individual panes in with Glue & Glaze or just using G&G to cover the apertures. I've done both in similar circumstances to provide flush glazing - the first option provides a better finished product but is fiddly and obviously takes a lot longer. PS Great video as always.
Yes that’s my point with the windows, they really do look so thick, where as my westcliff works coaches are scale thin, so much better. I could try individual panes, I hadn’t thought of that. I’ll try it out when I find the time
My thoughts on Bachmann Windows: "From Hell's heart, I stab at thee!"
They are made of material not of our world
Is your Douglas able to pull those coaches since the n scale Percy is so weak?
I haven’t tried it with a full train yet, but yeah it doesn’t have a huge amount of weight, if it struggles, I’ll probably add weight into the body to help pull coaches
I like this a lot. I’ve got the Fourdees bogie coach kits so I’m keen to see you do them. Are you going to address the buffer height difference between no 6 and the Bachmann coach? It seems quite big.
I actually don’t have any fourdees coaches, my TR 9 and 10 are westcliff works, but I have painted up fourdees FR bogie coaches for other people in the last, I really like their interiors
@@GWilliamsonModels I didn’t realise Westcliff did them too. Sounds like I’ve got more places to look now! I’ve already got some MSM models coming off the back of the Nant Gwernol station video, now I’ve got another manufacturer to track down. The sponsorship works!
@@tomlee9534 that’s great to hear, MS models are brilliant products, so I hope you enjoy painting them up
What is the size and type off making tape you use as when pealing off the freshly painted model it leaves the paint on and still looks like you’ve just painted it. If you don’t mind me asking. Great painting on the little you and coach.
Hi, I typically use Tamiya in a range of sizes - the one I used in this video is 6 mm, but I use 10 mm and 18 mm aswell. I have got 1 mm, but I haven’t managed to use it with a quality finish yet, I think it’s just too thin.
I think the quality of the masking tape does have a big impact on pulling paint off when you remove it, so try that. If not, look into your primers
@@GWilliamsonModels thank you I will try the Tamyia tape and see how I get on.
Seeing tiny George was so interesting! Always nice to see your OO9 work in general :))
Out of interest, what music did you use in the background? It’s reminding me of the Fallout 4 OST XD
Thanks! Yes it’s so cool to be able to have yourself as a model!
Well the music on the videos is just royalty free samples that I download from TH-cam’s audio archives, but it’s quite common for me to actually listen to fallout soundtracks whilst I work on models! I love the FO76 soundtrack
@@GWilliamsonModels That's valid :)) I've never played 76 but I have the soundtrack for exactly the same reason XD
How are you going to fit the couplings to douglas im thinking im going to have to file a gap in the red buffer beam
Good question, no idea yet! I’m pretty sure I’ll use Greenwich couplings, so will most likely have to cut a slit in the buffer beam somehow
@@GWilliamsonModels also have to think about movement side to side for when going round bends
what did you use for the raf target thingy on the side of douglas' boiler? mines been sat in the drawer waiting for me to paint it
I had them custom printed as water slide transfers, I do have spare sets for sale if you wanted to send me an email
@@GWilliamsonModels how much for a set?

Please can I have a George for my birthday 🙏 technically it's because of me that you can do that😘 Happy New Year everyone🥳
He’s pretty small, not sure where you would put him!
Are You aware that Bachman makes a model of the red coach just in a slightly Brighter red
Yes I’m aware of them, and nearly used them, but westcliff works are a much more detailed product so went with those
