@jimmynswgr Of course man! I grew up watching Thomas, and seeing this reignited my childhood. Even the cabin looks the same as it does in the old series. I love it.
With all this VR tech going around these days, I'm surprised no one has invented a way to be shrunk down to just a few inches tall. I'd love to see what operating little garden-railway engines would be like, from standing inside the actual cab. Come to think of it, though, a lot of infrastructure would need to be built to accommodate such small drivers. Imagine trying to lift a garden hose as wide around as you are! Or handling a grease can that you can comfortably sit inside of. The world truly is amazing in miniature. Keep up the great work!
"Thomas is a tank engine who lives at the big station on the Island of Sodor. He's a cheeky little engine with six small wheels, a short stumpy funnel, a short stumpy boiler and a short stumpy dome."
He's a fussy little engine too. Always pulling coaches about ready for the big engines can take on long journeys. And when trains come in, he pulls the empty coaches away so that the big engines can go on rest. Thomas thinks no engine works has hard as he does. He loves playing tricks on them, including Gordon the biggest and proudest engine of all. Thomas likes whistling rudely at him.
@@User_trailerparkshark what he means is that he is kind of based off a real engine of a steam engine he just doesn’t take up on coal he takes up on wood, but he does take up on water so that means he does produce steam
Well, even if Thomas doesnt have extended side tanks, I still find this engine a really great representation of Thomas, and it's very detailed and probably sweet to look at riding the tracks
@@1earedwolf the fan blower on top of the chimney at the start is to pull air through before there is enough steam pressure in the boiler to use the loco’s blower. The loco’s blower is a steam jet which is situated next to the blast pipe in the smokebox. It is controlled by a valve on the backhead and steam travels internally through a pipe in the boiler to the blast/blower combination ring in the smokebox. Is that the difference you are referring to?
I wouldn't use garden hose water myself. It's either FULL of calcium that will accumulate in the boiler (and cleaning that out is going to be a pain in the ass) or it'll be "soft water" which is full of salts and other things that aren't good for a boiler. I always use filtered rain water in my boilers. That said, I run 16mm scale engines, so my boilers are much smaller.
@@Linnie0499 I don’t always wait, but it seems to be the general consensus by the model engineers that mentored me that it is a good idea to let the boiler cool down a bit following dropping the fire before blowing down to prevent unnecessary stresses from rapid temperature and pressure changes.
All grown up, and to see all this engineering that goes into an engine that is a huge part of my childhood, is amazing. What an awesome video.
@@WilRiv5286 thanks very much. That is very kind.

@@BiggsHobbies thanks. I’m glad I’m not that small!
that would be amazing
Thomas is the Coolest engine in your railway!!

Boy!, what an interesting, but satisfying process!
THATS SO COOL BRO ACTUALLY HAS THE REAL THOMAS
You know you'll say hi thomas and it didn't talk and don't look at others that's how he's not real
@@User_trailerparksharkdid anyone ask? Go pee and go to school. Mistake.
@@User_trailerparkshark go pee

Mfs in 1915 “hey mates today im gonna show ya how to steam up thomas the e2 class”
ah yes, the most working tiniest Thomas that actually can fit on actual rails
That's an incredible model.
@@Mewtwo557 thanks
Even though its not the same class as thomas he looks remarkably similar
Now that's Amazing., Thomas is Rolling Along.👍
I love your thomas model great video
Glad you like it
@jimmynswgr thank you
The best part of childhood😊
You should show us how to prep and fire up 2705! That would be amazing!
@@lachlansworden-m3n trust me it isn’t much different! Very similar, just a few more controls.
I’d like to visit this place one day it’s amazing❤❤❤❤❤❤ also pls pin
Very interesting, thank you.
Never quite got my head around the built-in blowers. How do they differ from the external ones?

i can just imagine thomas' actual fireman recording this if he had youtube
4:15 *Insert intense runaway theme*
I would wish to even half something this detailed
@@Rusty_The_Diesel_05 it’s just work and time.
Dream to have something like that one day
"It was time for Thomas to leave. He hadnseen everything"

@@abrr2000 yes. Also depends on where in the world you are and how good the water supply is.
Curious why you have to wait for the pressure to drop before blowing down

Omg thats really cool!
where can I buy this? how expesive is it? I want it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He built it himself
the price starts at lowest about 10k
This is so cool
where could i buy a locomotive like this?
@@skandto you don’t buy them, you make them yourself just like I did!
@@jimmynswgrBubbling boilers you built that yourself?! ITS SO COOOL
Hey dude, how did you build your track?
@@darthgallion it is welded up from 10 x 25mm flat bar for rails and 6 x 25 for sleepers.
Do you have a video on how to make this?
@@carloslabra8435 not as such. Look in my other videos for a few that show stages of construction
Ps could you do a pov for thomas?
@@CarsonDiamond-g1o what is a pov?
@@jimmynswgrpoint of view
So cool ❤ thomas
Irl Thomas is dope 👍
FIRE
Go Thomas😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
if i could buy this i would
Nose dónde
Nose cuando
Nose precio
Pero lo necesito en mi vida
Это моя мечта😵

I won't to see the face
@@charlesmurray338 there are other videos with the face in them on my TH-cam channel…..
How long does it take to light him and get him ready for to go into service?
@@NSWGR_3203 10 - 15 minutes
@ wow! The one that I drive (7.25 inch Hiedi 2 class) it takes about 2 hours, its a tender engine..
