    Always interests me that the Non-Percy comes with a functioning front coupler.
    And yet Bachmann still release Percy without one.

    @JagoHazzard Рік тому +10

    I have one of these, purely because I like the look of it. It reminds me of the engines the GWR acquired at the Grouping, the ones that ran on tiny little railways in South Wales. The ones the GWR really resented having to deal with and tried to modify.
    I always thought that would be a good backstory for Percy. He was built for some Welsh dock railway, the GWR acquired and modified him (and that's why he doesn't look like any real engine), then he was sold off when the GWR replaced him with something more standard.

    Ah yes. Back before Bachmann UK sold Thomas products. How they got their hands on the tooling still boggles me.

    The time-lapse portion of the running session makes me almost fall off my chair, especially when the Plarail Percy zooms through the tunnel on the flatbed.

    Bachmann's Percy was originally a shunter for a shroom farm, the P in Percy stands for Psilocybin.

    I saw one of these models actually used as Percy in a Christmas video a few years ago and I always wondered why it was in this livery. It’s nice to finally figure out why.

  • @bow-tiedengineer4453
    @bow-tiedengineer4453 Рік тому +9

    I mean, as Percy being ex GWR is a common headcannon, due to Trojan the Avonside 0-4-0 being GWR and Percy at least having the frames of an Avonside 0-4-0, having a GWR liveried Percy is a fairly normal thing.
    My personal headcannon is that Percy was originally an Avonside 0-4-0 that was rebuilt in the early 20th century using spares off of several other Victorian era engines that were withdrawn. Around the time of the grouping, his little industrial railway ended up bought out by the GWR, but he was then sold off at the first excuse because converting him to GWR standards would basically mean completely rebuilding him again, and they couldn't be bothered. That's how Topham got him on the cheap.

    Just as a bit of useful knowledge for the future, I'm fairly sure when you're running in engines, they should only be run light-engine, so no pulling or pushing any rolling stock. I may be wrong but I'm fairly sure it can put undue stress on the motor before it's fully run in. Of course since this is a second hand engine its not so important, but I figured I'd let you know for future reference!
