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!

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!
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!
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.
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 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.
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.
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 :)
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)
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'll be honest. I have never in my years of modeling seen anyone meaningfully remove detail off a model, personally, I consider takong the hinges off the saddleboxes a bad move, but still, I fucking love what you did with this engine
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
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
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.
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?
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?
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

The prettiest Percy facial expression and angle for the picture ever, -> 5:57
Bro it's so prime clean, you can eat off Percy and it will never leave a stain 20/10
You’ve done a fantastic job on making Percy Season 2 accurate. Especially mid tone green and the face masks.
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. ^•^
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 have to say this is a very good model of Percy you should definitely make him say DONT CALL ME DIRTY PERCY
Percy looks great!
3:25 That tan spot on the cab window.
He looks amazing,love the classic series face
Percy is fresh from the works
This has to be my favourite model you've done!
This Percy look stunning.

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”
That is a slick Percy my man

Shorten a 1361 into an 0-4-0, add circular windows and saddleboxes and you have a realistic TV series Percy.
Splendid job! As a fellow model series lover this is basically fully accurate. Besides the stuff u said of course. Great job
It's all perfect except for one thing.

Percy is looking good
Percy gives this a10 out of 10
Percy!!
Hey look a first comment that's not just "first". Cool
This looks amazing! I'm now tempted to make my own
get this man to 50k, he hs made the most adorable custom in the world
That is amazing, I wish you could make prop accurate Thomas one day!
blimey, it's so real!
Man this is awesome
look at him
it's majestic
It's the Green Caterpillar!😁 Awesome job!
Dude it’s all fun and games till trainboy makes a freaking Percy with MOVING EYES THAT MOVE WITH A CONTROLLER
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!
Why is PERCY so cute when you look at him
Percy s my favourite, nice custom, it looks great
This is awesome
LETS GET TRAIN BOY TO 100,000 SUBSCRIBERS!!
Fantastic model man, great work like always.
0:21 Aaaahh wonky eyes
Aww ☺️ I love it!!!
Percy looks awesome, also, cute dog lol
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.
I love seeing your G scale stuff, please keep it coming, the mods are inspiring me! :) 👍
he finally made the little green goblin on wheels
Would love to see a customized G scale Toby with a full custom Henrietta!
amazing
Is it just me or do i want to just.. hug that percy
I'll be honest. I have never in my years of modeling seen anyone meaningfully remove detail off a model, personally, I consider takong the hinges off the saddleboxes a bad move, but still, I fucking love what you did with this engine
Me: hmmmm, those TVS accurate faces look good, maybe I can buy some some from his Etsy sho-

That looks like it’s a prop accurate model of Percy
YAY PERCY
Classic style, I like it! Amazing model, I give it 10/10!
Percy is cuter then I thought.
Why did Percy have his headlamp on his too great lamp iron?
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.
Nice work, man!
Awesome dude that’s amazing absolutely astounding
I like the model series too
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
0:59 why his right coupling rod look so scuffed compared to the Left or is that the camera?
Great now I want one
awesome!
DON’T CALL ME DIRTY PERCY
-Percy the Caterpillar-
I see trainboy, i click. Also, i may get some G-scale trains for the holidays.
Hey trainboy. Ur percy model reminds me of the real percy prop. It just needs the number 6
Will you put in 2 servos for the eye mechanism so you can control them yourself? That would make this model even cooler.
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.
Percy!
lit
0/10 His cylinders arent broken. But in all seriousness this is an amazing model!
Awesome model dude so cool.
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 👍🏻
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?
O MAH GOD THIS LOOKS SICK also I noticed your dog wink
My lil Green Baby Boy :)
At 5:29 it looks like someone kicked Percy in the “pistons”!
And nice costum
Now to REALLY make it model accurate, is to make the left side piston crooked
0:13 How is that Sir Topham Hatt close-up figure made?
that.
is epic
Percy ia bow happy
Good ending
I just saw one today !

good job

Back after a month
Who makes the best OO scale Henry faces?
I gotta ask what's the difference between the season 1 and 2 engines besides the face.
Yes
