@Thomasmodeler - Don't know, ask Wilbert Awdry. If you look on the original RWS illustrations it didn't lead into the ditch, there was a fence that got broke. I tried to copy the TV series here that had the track go into the ditch, the TV series made the same effect with Percy Takes the Plunge.
You'll have to wait a while for Ep8 as Sparkshot is upgrading a number of locos to RWS accurate style. It will be a long wait I know, but trust me the end results will be worth it.
Still modelling. :( Need to make Edward, a few faces, install smoke generators. and do abit of stuff on the layout, that's mainly it. but it takes a long time (As you've noticed) and I can't devote my life to it, bit at a time when in mood etc. but it's getting there.
You know what really irritates me about some of these models? The fact that the engines with secondary piston rods have their.....uh... smaller rods going dead center down the radius of the center drivewheel. What's up with that?
I'm just saying that model train companies should really consider what they do with the side rods on some of these engines.
I get naffed off with everybody asking the same questions that I've answerd repeatedly in either the vid comments or my channel comments.
where u get shed - company called vollmer, where u get shed - company called vollmer, where u get shed - vollmer, where u get shed - vollmer, where u get shed - vollmer, where u get shed - vollmer, where u get shed - vollmer etc etc etc. :(
Oh boy, same questions same questions same questions, The answer to ALL of them is in one of the vid comments or in my channel comments, if you want to know have a look, simple. hy can't anyone post a comment worthy of reading these days?
SHUT UP! Why don't you say something useful? I bet you say that about everyone "I was on the phone and we were blah blah balh at your comment." You said that to me. Do you really think anyone cares? We'd get stinking MI5 if I wanted to know what you were talking to Gavin on the phone
I am making those loco's myself yeah, when the times right. Ep 8 info is in the comments on my channel somewhere, have a good search cus fed up of repeating myself.
How's episode 8 going? Can't wait to see it, and have you thought of making Donald, Douglas and BoCo yourself or wait until they come out in the Hornby range?
STILL< THGOUgh you make such great vids with them that I forget that I follow you for the fun of watching, not pressurissing you to make them as though you have to be conscientous about it
COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL 18 year old dud. How much would you SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLL IT FOOOOOOOOOOORRRRR??!!
Yeah well I think we all know that.... BACHMANN YTRTAINS ARE CRAP. No offence to you, I'm extremely frustrated after having to ruin around this F*cking website trying to apologise to Donald the unforgiving twimn!!
loads of ways, I like to carve my own though.....why are you telling me and him about bachmann and photoshopping? I don't understand why you all tell me random stuff???
I've answerd how to do the faces more than once, i'm sick of repeating myself, search all comments on all vids or channel comments, be botherd to look
I find the models of Bill and Ben to have a annoying problem as seen in the vid. Their buffer beams are to large. The keep hitting station platforms and tunnel walls! XD
I enjoyed your out-takes video Knuckles, I can see it's quite difficult to hold a camera and push an enigne at the same time.
The camera shots weren't too bad, depends if you've got a good steady hand which is why it shakes. At college I often use a tripod, only because we have too and plus I don't have a good steady hand.
Anyway, great job. I liked quite a few of those deleted scenes which you cut out.
lmao, very imformative Knuckles, nice and funny video. Good to see those alternative shots of the ditch episode. =]. What was all that muddy crap in the ditch and where did you get it, out of curiousity?
(Also seen your stuff on MTF, amazing is the word =D )
hey great video loeved it when james ran through the station and the last car in the train came of LOL any why do you call yourself Knucles???? is it because you like to fight or that your good at making models with your hands???? any way i liked the layout you've got are you going to show us more of the layout in the future episodes???
That was a good filler indeed. I always like these sort of things. Mainly because I get to see more of your layout. I only think I have seen 2 pictures of it, when it was a mess.
what is the stuff which gets stuck to Gordon when he comes out of the ditch?
