Making Percy | Caleb's Trains HO/OO

Here's Percy the Small Engine! First and foremost, a big thank you to @Greens_Trains for his incredible work on this model. You rock!

I'll be holding a poll for the next character for this series, so if you'd like to vote, be sure to follow my Twitter page!

I hope you enjoy the process of putting this guy together! He’s heavily inspired by his appearance in TATMR (Thomas & the Magic Railroad), but not an exact replica. I like to put my own spin on things here and there. I liked aspects of his model throughout the entire run of Thomas & Friends.

Nothing is ever easy with Percy. He looks really good! When working with car paints and enamel paints I've learned it's best to put a clear coat on top of it before doing anything else since they aren't really made for plastics

[TheTrainModeller]

Percy looks absolutely fantastic -- really love the shots at the end. Can't wait to see him in future episodes!

[trainstorm]

Percy’s always a tough one to model but you guys absolutely NAILED it!! Great engineering from Green as well! Looking forward to the next one, man! 💚✨

[amitysluzara]

This model is absolutely stunning! It looks like it was pulled straight from the TV screen

[thomasthetankman]

He looks great Caleb. Great video and loved that coal yard set. This is what I am currently dealing with and seeing yours done makes me what to get working on mine!

[najibosman]

From the footage you’ve shown here, I can tell a lot of hard work and dedication was put into making your ho Percy model it takes a lot of love to make something of this calibre, major props to you man

[rottenroads]

Darts Face with the words “Disappointed but not surprised” was Hilarious. I like this.

"But I don’t have the best *track* record when it comes to customisation."

Don’t think I wouldn’t notice that Caleb.

[NintendoNamcoAndNickFan]

Good old Dirty Percy. You’ve been doing great on these custom models

[Enterprisingengine]

These videos are so well made. Also Percy is very well made. You should get a commendation for making things well. I shall write to your superintendent at once.

7:33 *Percy leaves satisfied in the outcome of his victim, leaving nothing but a single wheel behind...*

Bwhaha I'm sorry, defo wasn't the intention but taking that frame out of context gave myself a laugh 😅

Great stuff as usual, very much interested to see who else got a preen up behind the scenes 👀

[itsbestt]

That's absolutely amazing! I'm looking forward to see u making Gordon, the Blue Big Engine! He'll be beautiful running with his express coaches!

[rians_railway]

He looks brilliant! It's so interesting to see how much work goes into these little guys! And again that whistle is so good on the ears! Awesome work!

[NWRKRIS]

what you are doing now is what is motivating me to expand my own productions. Please keep doing what you are doing, can't wait to see more!

[Blue_Puffball]

Absolutely LOVE how you're improving your model work so far! Keep up the fantastic work Caleb!

[drevianedwardsproductions]

Your Percy model is fantastic looking quite accurate to either season 5 or Thomas and the Magic Railroad.

7:15 Percy in the morning looks like me in the morning...
"Don't even bother making the coffee, just pour the grinds in and see if that works..."
7:25 "Now I', awake, but I'm *not* happy about it!"

[railfanproductions]

I recommend using tail light tape for the pinstriping. I use it on my Lionel Thomas customs and it works great

[Whisvgjv]

How I have tried to make Percy so many times and then I'm just like no way I will loose my sanity I'm surprised you didn't Caleb also he looks SO GOOD

[Jude-]

Percy looks great and thank you for making these videos it helps me learn with my own Thomas and Edward!
