Thomas Mini Me - Smallest HO Powered Thomas

We all want our Thomas & Friends trains to be powered HO / OO runners, this video details a method of making it so via the amazing and very tiny Bachmann Gandy Dancer.

Gandy Dancer's were purchased here, http://www.hobbylandaustralia.com.au/
It's my local Hobby Store and a great place to grab advice on any hobby. I have been going there for many years. Please support your local hobby shops.

The next video I upload will be a contest video where the Pez powered models will be the prizes, part of the challenge in entering is to count how many times I stuff up the name "Gandy Dancer" in this video.

What street in Hornsby did you get it from. Anywhere near Orara St?

[leokimvideo]

@Th3RussBus in the info area is a link to the shop where I buy train stuff

[TheShnizNite]

perhaps you should try this with an ERTL.

[leokimvideo]

@TheShnizNite yes thats a very good thought, the only problem is the ERTL Thomas is not easily available these days, in fact it's becoming more difficult to find than hens teeth.

It may also be too slender to pull this conversion off, I really need to have a closer look on this

[Stuingtion]

What's the number for the bachmann Gandy dancer because I'm having trouble finding it in spokane WA

[leokimvideo]

@Stuingtion i'm hoping a bachmann fan can help you, i really don't know

[MrMichaelDogson]

Leo, I'd hate to ask, but would you sell the HO crane that visible in the siding? I had a crane of my own before my local hobby shop closed, but you know as much as I do, children love to play rough.

[Dieselworks123]

it really sucks because the pez thomas collection aren't sold in New Zealand which is where i live

[TheRacro]

@leokimvideo i have a thomas ertl model in prime condition :)

[ajracer101]

I just made a diecast thomas runner and i will run it at model train shows

[R26HMATZORILEY]

I LIKE THE EVIL LAUGH U HAVE GIVEN 2 THE LEGO MAD SCIENTIST

[LouCosplayPro]

will the gandy dancer fit in other take n play models

[TheFunnyguy9000]

Lego guy?

[Stuingtion]

Can you do another video to show how to remove the little men and handle?
