If you want to have a perfect paint match to the body for the wheel. Spray some of the paint from the spary can in to a pot, the lid works well, give in a few minutes to rest then you can paint it on with a brush! Hope this helps loving the model so far!

Say what you want, this is epic! If you really what a S2 percy, you need to make is cylinders rock up and down as he runs! Edit: oh my god! TrainBoy gave it a heart! Thanks so much!
Thank you so much man! :) I debated his loose cylinder but lowkey wanna keep him top for running; I had it the slightest bit offset when I reassembled him and it was a MESS sadly! So I may try to find a way that more just looks the part if I can lol
@@ItsTrainBoy haha, I wonder how the real prob ran behind the scenes with his cylinder on the verge of falling off! Also, thanks for replying - means so much to me to have such and inspirational person (IMO). Many of my custom ttte engines have been inspired by you!
I'm very impressed on what you achieved with this custom! Aside from what missing from the model, it looks so much like the real Season 2 Model!! It's the face and the touch up to the boiler and sides that did it for me. I have an idea you will do James in the future!
If you want to make Percy look like season 2 I recommend you try to remove the somebox support (that tiny black box under his smokebox) bc the supporter was added for TATMR meaning that before TATMR, Percy didn't has the smokebox supporter.
It's all perfect except for one thing. The Bachmann Thomas engines are all a larger scale than the actual ones, while still using the same track gauge, making them out of scale (Still love this model though)
If you had told me you owned the original, official Percy model, I would believe you, no questions asked. This is awesome! Amazing work here! Best of luck to you on finishing him and working on future projects!
If nobody's noticed(well this is from my observation) bachmann thomas and friends g scale are not to scale because g scale is originally a narrow gauge scale that's almost the Same size as the gauge 3 scale standard. So narrow gauge 1:22.5 scale engines are meant to run on it. And gauge 3 is 1:22.6. So for Bachmanns models of this gauge that are standard gauge to be accurate they'd need to make them gauge 1 scale instead (gauge 1 and g gauge run on same width tracks) which is 1:29 or instead make the wheelbase wider to run on gauge 3 track. Just saying.
I’m honestly fine with Percy having no number, because it reminds me of the railway series, so I wouldn’t be dissatisfied of there not even being a number, I just really like the big green ol model :)
Another fantastic G scale video! This gets me so excited to start my G scale Railway. I have my Thomas, just gotta wait next yeah to start construction!
I like to think that Percy himself was classified as a type of pug saddle tank, because I just think it’s cute and it sounds catchy. Percy the western Pug.
The next time you want to brush paint something but you only have that paint in cans: just spray some of that paint into the cap of the can and use it from there. No more looking for matching colours
Me: hmmmm, those TVS accurate faces look good, maybe I can buy some some from his Etsy sho- His Etsy shop: SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD
i always liked the g scale thomas locomotives, they are big enough to put a small toy in the cab, i always wanted to have a g scale thomas and put my little mc donalds acton figure of yoshi, and make a video of that. gosh i wish i have more thomas toys.
Hey Trainboy, I’m updating my Large Scale Thomas and Percy to look more like their model series counterparts. What kind of gloss coating do you recommend? I just want to make him look more glossy and more like season 3 to season 5. What do you recommend I use? I don’t want to repaint him I just want to make him more glossy. Any suggestions?
I’m looking to refurbish my G-Scale Thomas but it looks like the shop was closed or something. Do you know any other way I can get a series accurate G-Scale face?
As a Percy fan/collector, I can say that absolutely did Percy justice here. Phenomenal work as always. Can’t wait to see him finished.
Ay another Percy fan :D
I hate Thomas and friends (hides all my Thomas toys)
Basically identical, season 2 Percy is prime percy. His “yes sir, no sir, of course sir” when he got nervous was always great
I say 5, but 2 was alright too

At this rate, TrainBoy is well on the way to becoming a proper railroad controller!
One day! I’ll be the new Thin Controller! 🤣
nah i'll beat and have a whole shortline in my front yard by this time next year with a brewery and Logging Camp
@@IndustrialParrot2816 a controller, by layout is not, one made. But by number of customs one is chosen.
@@TheGreyTurtleEntertainment What?
@@IndustrialParrot2816 someday all will be made clear. ^•^
You’ve done a fantastic job on making Percy Season 2 accurate. Especially mid tone green and the face masks.
Wait, you forgot something:
You gotta drop the model of a set.
That's later today lmao
But he has to fix it by 2027

I really really really couldn't do anything like this, especially to something worth a lot of money. Kudos.
I have to say this is a very good model of Percy you should definitely make him say DONT CALL ME DIRTY PERCY
Shorten a 1361 into an 0-4-0, add circular windows and saddleboxes and you have a realistic TV series Percy.
This has to be my favourite model you've done!
Splendid job! As a fellow model series lover this is basically fully accurate. Besides the stuff u said of course. Great job
The prettiest Percy facial expression and angle for the picture ever, -> 5:57
He looks amazing,love the classic series face
If you had told me you owned the original, official Percy model, I would believe you, no questions asked. This is awesome! Amazing work here! Best of luck to you on finishing him and working on future projects!

That is a slick Percy my man
3:25 That tan spot on the cab window.
Take a shot for every time he starts a video with “it’s not finished but I’m happy where it’s at to show you all”
I’m honestly fine with Percy having no number, because it reminds me of the railway series, so I wouldn’t be dissatisfied of there not even being a number, I just really like the big green ol model :)
That is amazing, I wish you could make prop accurate Thomas one day!
Percy is fresh from the works
Another fantastic G scale video! This gets me so excited to start my G scale Railway. I have my Thomas, just gotta wait next yeah to start construction!
This looks amazing! I'm now tempted to make my own
It's the Green Caterpillar!😁 Awesome job!
Fantastic model man, great work like always.
Percy is looking good
Percy gives this a10 out of 10
Dude it’s all fun and games till trainboy makes a freaking Percy with MOVING EYES THAT MOVE WITH A CONTROLLER
Why is PERCY so cute when you look at him
Would love to see a customized G scale Toby with a full custom Henrietta!
I love seeing your G scale stuff, please keep it coming, the mods are inspiring me! :) 👍
get this man to 50k, he hs made the most adorable custom in the world
I like to think that Percy himself was classified as a type of pug saddle tank, because I just think it’s cute and it sounds catchy. Percy the western Pug.
Percy s my favourite, nice custom, it looks great
Hey trainboy. Ur percy model reminds me of the real percy prop. It just needs the number 6
I just want to say that I don’t think you need to give Percy a glossy finish.
The mat coat looks absolutely gorgeous on him.
Percy!!
Hey look a first comment that's not just "first". Cool
This looks just like the prop. When Will you show you’re Sir Topham hatt?
LETS GET TRAIN BOY TO 100,000 SUBSCRIBERS!!
That looks like it’s a prop accurate model of Percy
look at him
it's majestic
Favorite Percy Episode?
Put Upon Percy every day!
O MAH GOD THIS LOOKS SICK also I noticed your dog wink
he finally made the little green goblin on wheels
Percy looks awesome, also, cute dog lol
This is awesome
I see trainboy, i click. Also, i may get some G-scale trains for the holidays.
Classic style, I like it! Amazing model, I give it 10/10!
i don't understand why the comments are saying that this is a replica. Its obviously the exact same Percy the show crew used in season 2.
Now just break the left piston & middle lamp iron & you'll be golden.
Nice work, man!
Will you put in 2 servos for the eye mechanism so you can control them yourself? That would make this model even cooler.
blimey, it's so real!
The next time you want to brush paint something but you only have that paint in cans: just spray some of that paint into the cap of the can and use it from there. No more looking for matching colours
Heads up, you still need to remove the black box (I guess it’s what houses the steam pipes) under his face so it looks like his smokebox is floating
Yeah but I probably won’t be doing that, seems more trouble than it’s worth for something hardly noticeable
@@ItsTrainBoy funny how you say it’s hardly noticeable when it’s the reason I prefer the pre season 6 model. Great job with your model nonetheless 👍🏻
Percy ia bow happy
Good ending
Is it just me or do i want to just.. hug that percy
0/10 His cylinders arent broken. But in all seriousness this is an amazing model!
5:29 aww cute lil doggo
Me: hmmmm, those TVS accurate faces look good, maybe I can buy some some from his Etsy sho-
His Etsy shop: SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD SOLD
Awesome dude that’s amazing absolutely astounding
I like the model series too
Why did Percy have his headlamp on his too great lamp iron?
Percy is cuter then I thought.
DON’T CALL ME DIRTY PERCY
-Percy the Caterpillar-
So is this pre 'Percy and the signal' hmmm.
This is a reference.
Aww ☺️ I love it!!!
Man this is awesome
Thomas’s whistle is Percy’s whistle but upscaled
Now to REALLY make it model accurate, is to make the left side piston crooked
amazing
Still Waiting For The Salt Vans To Be Completed.
Me too bud, me too.
Awesome model dude so cool.
Hang on didn't he already do a video on a Percy already?
A g scale Percy to be specific
@@therailfanman2078 Not on the Season 2 model. Before this it was weathered and I talked about that in a video; but on this specifically nah lmao
@@ItsTrainBoy ohhh ok thanks
Great now I want one

awesome!

Who makes the best OO scale Henry faces?
I just saw one today !
My lil Green Baby Boy :)
Is it just me or does that Percy looks exactly like the model Percy
At 5:29 it looks like someone kicked Percy in the “pistons”!
Yes
fr im not first
Close enough bro
