Percy may be a hodge podge of random Tank engines, but he's our hodge podge and we wouldn't change this little green goblin for anything. Excellent job on both Percy models.

@catpissandvinegar Жыл бұрын

If you use rustoleum sand and fill primer on white versatile plastic you can actually get it pretty smooth. It still a pain to sand something complex like an engine body, ESPECIALLY when the cab is attached to the model and not a separate piece or on some smaller bits like valves, but it is better then just sanding the model as is imo.

I left a comment on the original upload stating that Tug and I share a headcanon on Percy being Cardiff #6, and then pasted the backstory I had written for him. Since the video is now gone, here is the story again: NWR #6 - 'Percy' Cardiff Railway #6 was built in 1898 along with its twin #5 at the Kitsons of Leeds engine shop. Both engines were unique designs, sporting an 0-4-0T wheel arrangement driven by a Kitson-Hawthorn valve gear. They worked for a few years doing light jobs on the Cardiff Railway, until it was absorbed by the Great Western Railway in 1923. Both engines were renumbered; #5 into GWR #1338 and #6 into GWR #1339, and set to work alongside other GWR tank engines. By 1924 however, the peculiar valve gear arrangement of the twins were becoming problematic and required frequent maintenance. GWR, desperate to resolve the issue, called upon George Jackson Churchward to design a rebuild for the engines. Churchward was the GWR chief mechanical engineer, but had stepped down two years prior. However, he thought it would be a fun challenge to try and fix the unique little engines (and was also compensated handsomely for it). Churchward drew plans of an engine that retained most of the Cardiff Railway design features, but swapped the valve gear for an Allan design and the cab for a larger one, based primarily off of his 1361 class. This designed was approved, and GWR opted to rebuild #1339, who was in more need of maintenance, and leave #1338 unchanged for the time being. #1339 rolled out of the works in 1925, but further testing proved the design was not as optimal as GWR had hoped. The larger cab required the saddle tank and boiler to be shortened, resulting in less efficiency, and as such #1338 was never rebuilt. The engine was eventually sold off to a second-hand engine dealer, where it patiently awaited a new home for about a year. Not too long after, the controller of the North Western Railway, Sir Topham Hatt I, visited the engine shop in search of a new shunter for his railway. Upon seeing #1339, he knew he had found the perfect match. The engine was unnamed, so Sir Topham Hatt gave him the name "Percy," and he's been the NWR's #6 ever since.

His cab and bunker looks a lot like an Austerity's which could very well explain him having component's from Hunslet. He isn't very low slung in the show. Honestly, his TV series model reminds me of a toy. Even watching the show as a kid, I thought he didn't really resemble any particular real life engine with those cylindrical tanks that go to his footplate instead of a saddle shape. He always looked the most abstract of all the characters.

@flarescarab777 10 ай бұрын

My answer for Percy is that he was created as part of an engineering university project by a group of ambitious but somewhat inexperienced students who managed to gather or create various parts in order to show up their snobbish lecturer. While the project was a success, none of the students had anywhere to actually store their new engine, much less the funds to service him, so rather than disassemble their passion project, they talked a work shop owner into storing their engine alongside other stored locomotives in exchange for working with him once they graduated from the university and a few days later the engine was selected for work on the island of Sodor.

@greatwesternproductions2857 Жыл бұрын

Great model and having Percy as 1339 does actually work in another way. Being Great Western, it would explain why he got on with Duck so well as they were both of the same region. Just a thought. Cheers and keep up the great work - Alex.
