Custom Made OO Gauge Neil

[SpencerandMurdoch]

just make it without a face. i'll make the face on my own. oh, and could you paint it for me?

[SpencerandMurdoch]

could you probably make a copy of him and send it to me?

[Coffeeshop246]

@SpencerandMurdoch I'm glad you like my model so much! But I just haven't got the time to make one for you; I'm sorry! I'm not an expert modeller, so it would take a long time if I did, and I'm sure it wouldn't look as good as this one turned out.

[mrduckandBubbles]

Which model was the basis for Neil?

[Coffeeshop246]

@mrduckandBubbles It was Bachmann Percy.

[mrduckandBubbles]

how did you make this amazing train?

[Coffeeshop246]

@mrduckandBubbles Hahaha A LOT of work, that's for sure. I actually used wood for the body, and painted it. The face was made from modelling clay.

[TTTEFANOPERCY6]

Cool

[penninefilms]

Sham theses engine never got to be in the TV series it may have made it better then it is and you have made a fab model of this engine.

[LEON13858]

this is just a box over percy. all you did was paint it. nice job though.

[huntwer2010]

i now what his wheels and made from there from percy

[12345thomasfan]

cool

[grandchancelor]

S & M ? Mmm sweet, guess we know what floats your boat after hours Neil. Good work mate.

[technotrain385]

if i was too pay you would you make one for me. i obviously would pay extra seeing as he is rare. and i would pay for postage and packaging.

[neverender888]

I really like Neil's theme music!  Did you make it?

[Coffeeshop246]

@neverender888 The first theme I got from a computer game, the theme at :50 is a theme a made based off of Boomer's theme in "Tugs".

[yan2001123]

@Coffeeshop246 i think..... your Neil's wheels are made by bachamn percy

[Coffeeshop246]

@yan2001123 Yes, that's true.

[trainguy111]

How did you make him and is it possible for me to do it, too?

[NemesisHero123]

Is Neil in your Series

[Coffeeshop246]

@NemesisHero123 If I ever make one, he might be...

[BramGroatFilms]

Pretty good! What's the music from?

[MrTrainboy1]

i got a probloem with my controller, its a standard Bachmann DC one. The Red light shows up, but when i put the cable going from the controller to the traick, the track doesnt electrify! I NEED HELP

[Coffeeshop246]

@MrTrainboy1 Hmm...I'm not really sure what the problem is; is it plugged in all the way? If so, and it still doesn't work, then perhaps it is burnt out.

[ScottishRails]

1:19 shows that he's a bit to big... his funnel won't fit in the sheds!

[yan2001123]

@ScottishRails yeah

[LEON13858]

man that little engine is awsome

[SodorProductions]

:54 That's a rather odd looking Lorry!

[Coffeeshop246]

Yeah, it's the wooden railway one.

[HankandOliver1]

I can see you used Percy's Bachmann Chasis. Good Work!!

[Whizzer1]

Theres good news about what Bachmann are Releasing this year

and its the in the Thomas range

which are Bill & Ben and Donald & Douglas

[Coffeeshop246]

Yeah, I heard about that, and I'm really excited!

[CarGuyZM10]

I wish that they would have found Neil, rather than engines which we never heard of.

[NWRNO6]

Drunk! LOL Nice job

[easta007]

same here

[MrThomasAndWALLE]

I just use an ertl neil for my T.T.B.E Series.

[easta007]

its very big but the best niel i have ever seen ;)

[brickmaster24]

pretty good

[timewild09]

can you send me the music used in the video?

[Coffeeshop246]

Sure, just send me your e-mail.

[MTwillman]

Me too?

[DarthShawn1256]

nice job

it look just like him

[awolfpack343]

im ganna make neil out of legos

[SodorProductions]

I noticed that one of Neils crew members fell to his side at one point! Lol!

[awolfpack343]

whats the name of the real engine neil is from

[donaldengine9]

Niel is more than likely based on a Nielson 0-4-0 Box Tank.

[WHOisHE15]

who did u make it out of?

[Coffeeshop246]

Bachmann Percy.

[petersam4]

Great work! Where'd you get his character bio?

[Coffeeshop246]

I made it myself.

[petersam4]

No, not the body. The character description.

[Coffeeshop246]

Yes, I made the info myself.

[steamforlife]

how did u get it please tell me i like him lots thanks

tom

[Coffeeshop246]

I used Percy's chasis and took him apart, built Neil's body, sculpted the face, and put it all together.

[NewController01]

nice job

[TheThomasModeller]

Awesome model of Neil, i'm on the verge of making him myself aswell, perhaps you could give me some pointers on making him and a suitable face? ;)

[Coffeeshop246]

Sure, I'll PM you with some tips.

[trainsaremylife2]

did you use percys wheels??

[Coffeeshop246]

Yeah, I used Percy's chasis.

[Pikman01]

I thought so.

[Rexeljet]

I like this, it looks like how neil would look in the TV Series in my opinion.

[CuldeeFellRailway]

i made a Custom tomy neil made from henrys trender

[captstar1]

Whats the face made from? Plaster, this is a great model.

[Coffeeshop246]

Actually, I made it from clay that you put in the oven so it hardens.

[tonypilot]

he's fantastic!

[henryfan88]

great job! he looks very nice:)

[goldenthomas]

what was the metal wiring for?

[donaldthescotishtwin]

neil has them its his sending gear

[donaldthescotishtwin]

sanding gear*

[RayTheTrainEngine]

Wrong. It's the handle for his driver to hold on for or its probably a brake lever.

[Coffeeshop246]

That's what I thought at first, but looking at it in the pictures, I believe it is a sanding gear because it goes right from the engine and down to the wheels, where the sand is dropped. But I'm not sure.

[ByronleeS]

THta;s very good work, wouldn't he be smaller, though? Great Irish touch

[Coffeeshop246]

Yeah, he should be smaller, but I can't really do anything about it. Neil is actually Scotish, by the way, but the music is kind of Irish-y.

[ByronleeS]

I know, that's why I said that. But, yes, there's not a lot you can do

[Damocles178]

Outstanding 1000000/5

[andrexiostudios]

One of the guys fell off Neil at :40. Awesome Model!

[LOTSOFHOBBIES]

it's the best neil ever.

[donaldengine9]

it's the second Neil

[Tomlan2007]

Great modelling. Scratch building is very satisfying when it all comes together isn't it?

Well done

[Coffeeshop246]

Thanks. Yeah, while you're building it, you kind of get annoyed, but when it's all done, you realize it's woth it.

[Nictrain123]

awesome!

[nzardoin]

cool

[ThomasFan247]

That's awesome!! Great Job!!

[7Lightening]

[zipandzug]

[donaldthescotishtwin]

[donaldthescotishtwin]

[DoctorTankEngine]

[Robtheredengine]

[UnluckyTug06]

Percy's chassis, good idea. Great model!

[unsmokinjoe]

Nicely Done!

[Nictrain123]

awesome model! could you do flying scotsman out of bachmann gordon?

[Coffeeshop246]

I don't know. I'd rather take the easy way out and buy the Hornby Flying Scotsman. lol. But making my own is always an idea.

[Thomas4trainz]

cool.

[CaliburDS]

This is pretty cool. Keep up the good work!

[ThomasandToby71]

[NVR1800]

[KevinTheSteamEngine]

Nice job

[donaldengine9]

Very Well Done!! Quite accurate!

[manmonkey6]

Let me guess, you used the bottom part of Percy and made a square chassis to make neil correct

[Coffeeshop246]

yup

[thomasfan15]

[HoorayforOliver]

WOW! Great work dude!

[missoliverandblossom]
