Hey, do you know if ERTL's are rare? I haven't collected since I was 8 at least, and I found a Thomas, James, and Percy in my attic dated around 1993.
i make something simillar, i have tomy trackmaster train and take alongs trains, i glued take along Migthy Mac into a basic of a truck without coupling and, tata!
@leokimvideo I have ertl thomas x2, bill, annie, henry, percy, george, duck, sir handle and peter sam. And even a thomas carry case with loads of small compartments to put the trains into. I used to collect them as a young child, will they be worth a bit of money nowadays? There all the original not modern remakes.
@ALITITANIC I have not tried a HO with motor conversion. What I am eyeing off is possibly doing a large chugger ( interactive) to HO, still thinking about it.
The End with Diesel 10 on the tracks reminds me of the cliffhanger ending in Misty Island Rescue where Diesel 10 warns the steamies about what is soon to come.
@songohan619 It was the ass bit I was afraid of, I have noticed if I ever say something wrong here I never live it down, sometimes best if the loyal audience can tell me the truth
All these take along videos are getting me excited for mad bomber ep 2, whens it coming weve been waiting for like two years, sorry just wondering please dont block
@leokimvideo OO/HO is the most popular, but narrow gauge etrl models run better on OO9/N track, but use OO track so I don't use the narrow gauge locos
@leokimvideo OO/HO is the most popular, but narrow gauge etrl models run better on OO9/N track, but use OO track so I don't use the narrow gauge locos, I seen a etrl Rusty on N gauge track and it looks brill!!
im in the UK.... and been to lots of model shops and theres nutheing, i did go online i did find some but its in dollers...and i can`t change to uk standers... what shal i do?
Leo, have you ever thought about giving them actual running chassies? with wheels and rods of course its expensive but it would like and run incredibly
@leokimvideo-So, the narrow gauge be looked at as the same size as the normal engines, will they be looked at as smaller? (I take it there's alot of preperation going on).
If I was doing any of these in take along Thomas is possible the easiest, in this video you can see a suggest wheel line up for Thomas.
Emily would be the most difficult with that large wheel, and Molly has a interesting combo of small and large wheels, it would be difficult but not impossible.
Did Lady appear in take along?
Any way Lady would be easy as she only has 2 wheels.
I keep hearing there are motorized versions, personally I would approach this with a powered wagon via a spud motor, that would make the whole process so much easier.
Even so he can give him a different name if he wants to because that's what he did with most of the characters. Percy - Noel James - Ted Wilbert - John Ben - Chris Duck - Earl Duck - Alan Edward - Bob Sixteen - Wilson Harold - Helen The Diesel - Andy Diesel - Mute
Just done my own conversion of one of the Thomas die-casts recently, wondering if you've seen it? Follows the same method as your ones, except it's fully motorised.
I did this wheel conversion on a Take Along for this reason..
You can't purchase ERTL's in the shops, I am trying to show a conversion on something everyone can relate to and purchase easily, I hope this explains my reasons here.
That's what threw me, all my other ERTL narrow gauge engines have their name on the train, I would have hated saying the wrong name in the video, if I am not sure I let those who know more than me get it right.
i did this with my di agnosti thomas annie and clarabel!
