A look back almost 11 months to my first video all about my customs customs #1. I look back and think wow if only I could do what I do now back then haha. But everyone has to start somewhere!
Ucwepn, I think on c12 you forgot to say about the custom funnel near the lamp, and also for jinty #1 you also forgot to say about the gold pipe on the side of the smoke box.
i did the permanant coupling for my trackmaster connor but the motor is full of dirt and makes a lot of noise and he goes very slow:( +don't play with your trains in dirt or sand or else it will clog the gears and make the motor louder
Congratulations on 9,000 subscribers and all the mods that you've made look fantastic, especially with Stephen and how you fixed Caitlin to actually work on the turntable.
Hi I used a hornby GWR king class smokebox door and a 3F jinty clack valve. I used unbranded aftermarket handrails, good luck with the project, if the face is the melted on type just grind the tabs off the back :)
Thanks for the help. I actually bought a Thomas that is exactly like the one you used. It has the short on off switch and flat type motor. I'm beginning to paint it today and order the parts. Do you know where I can get the decals from though?
you mean why is she slower than when i reviewed her straight after the motor swap? yes its the battery getting tired and the extra weight. I had an idea today to get one of the double shaft motors and add a brass flywheel! I don't know if it would destroy the plastic gears after a while but it would carry an awesome amount of momentum.
What hornby parts did you use for both Jintys you did? I would like to know the smokebox door specifically because I would love to do this one day with the extra Thomas' I have. Thanks!
Hi I haven't seen the movie yet but i know the coaches you mean, they are the TWR ones with the crests on the side and in the movie the open top blue one. This one is inspired by Stephen's Rocket's real coach which is kind of similar to the prototype yellow TWR ones. Not a replica in any way just a tribute that matches his color scheme. :D
Perhaps! Another custom you could do for her, is to give Caitlin a headlamp on her plough, as shown in the TV series! Watching an episode on YT, she's simply MARVELOUS! I can't wait to see Connor (I believe that's his name)!
A few questions: 1.) How were you able to take the faces off? 2.) What tool would you recommend doing so? 3.) Does the same procedure work with every model from the Plarail era to the 2013 TrackMasters? If not, could you PM me instructions for each variant of the procedure? (Ex. Procedure for TM 2013 models, 2010 models, etc.) Sorry for the long comment, I just want to use some of your modding techniques for reference :)
Hi it varies, for some engines you have to cut the faceplate off completely, others you need to drill the little grey lumps on the rear of the faceplate. You need to take the bodyshell off and examine each one to see which one it is.
Ucweon I am 12 years old and I am a huge fan of your videos I have some advice though. I think you should do custom steam team members such as a Thomas, Edward, Henry, Gordon, James, Percy, Toby, and Emily with more detail and LED lights on each locomotive.
The customs I have made are Peter Sam, Duke, Smudger( before I got the real ones), The Old Coaches,Diesel D199,Bluebell,Jinty,Percy painted Gothic, and Thomas' Wheel Spokes detailed with Black sharpie
Nice use of wooden trains in the backgrounds like in one there was a winstone and Trevor and I saw a Douglas but my mom said it was to expencive it was 20 $ and a shake shake bridge set was 18.99
Nah you could do the motor swaps man its easy! you did the lamp mod and it turned out great! be careful though you will find every engine sucks when you start modifying them and you want everything upgraded haha
Very nice video; congratulations on the 9,000 subscribers my friend, and a very funny use of a popular internet meme! Cheeky Caitlin making you eat your own words on the very same day.
dude you know faces you did on jinty and the other black trains the thing is how did you take off the face and made a custom smokebox door and put it on your some of your trains the thing is how did you do that you should do a video on how to make a custom smokebox door I'd be very grateful if you did one
Hey Ucwpen,nice paint job on Stephens coach, but as seen in king of the railway(not to sure you have seen it) Stephens coach is blue and he has 2 coaches, if you see this, please comment back
+Rupali Khangura I buy them on ebay, search for hornby smokebox door, face removal on most engines is pretty easy with a screw but some need to be cut off.
Boco is screaming fast! Very cool work you have done on these customs!

good point.😋☺

The three black train looks AWESOME!
Metal buffers on that sr and the jinty custom looks outstanding
Nice work i remember liking your jinty video back before i made mine :D
Congratulations on 9,000 subscribers and all the mods that you've made look fantastic, especially with Stephen and how you fixed Caitlin to actually work on the turntable.
they are metal 00 buffers from ebay.
Hi I used a hornby GWR king class smokebox door and a 3F jinty clack valve. I used unbranded aftermarket handrails, good luck with the project, if the face is the melted on type just grind the tabs off the back :)
I am not finished with this Stephen yet! stay tuned ;)
Hi that sounds like something good to do, all in good time! right now I'm trying to decide on percy or a bill/ben for the BR pug tribute
Thanks yes i'm mostly happy with Caitlin but I still need to work out why she derails in that spot
I think Caitlin would look MARVELOUS with 4 custom coaches, her theme! They'd be wonderful! She'd also look nice pulling those red coaches you've got!
3:35 did not expect that
I might just do that I've always loved the A4
I will be finishing Flying Scotsman tribute soon
Also extra speed requires more energy as does everything hehe.

Hi i have 2x different lots of red coaches the USA steel body and the blood and bone express coaches, she would look good pulling either I think.
Thanks mate! Caitlin was very cheeky!
possibly henry would make a good black 5 tribute
this is a brand new rosie, the original is packed away.
Hi I haven't seen the movie yet but i know the coaches you mean, they are the TWR ones with the crests on the side and in the movie the open top blue one. This one is inspired by Stephen's Rocket's real coach which is kind of similar to the prototype yellow TWR ones. Not a replica in any way just a tribute that matches his color scheme. :D
were would i be able to find Hornby replacement decals?
What did you make the metal buffers from because i want to put them on my Thomas
Hi yes perhaps but it will be a strain as the motor is already upgraded and a bit of a voltage hog. we will see though
Hi thanks! yes I have 6 red coaches, if She undergoes further changes and is featured again I will use the red ones.
Did you make the SR USA class from Rosie?
I will think about it, I do have a pair of TM Stepneys on the way
Perhaps! Another custom you could do for her, is to give Caitlin a headlamp on her plough, as shown in the TV series! Watching an episode on YT, she's simply MARVELOUS! I can't wait to see Connor (I believe that's his name)!
Who is your fav character. i thought Boco was your fav as well
Thats a great scene haha
so did you send the jinty version 1 in spare part box
from my avatar? he is a good engine but not my favorite
Stephen coach looks really cool!!! Cool video, I like seeing all the fast trains.
How'd you do the light on BoCo? I want to do that with my BoCo.
He will be in my next custom video.
can you do a video of how you add metal buffers and handrails please?
Plan to do a LMS Black 5?
Hi Thanks heaps! I always have a good think about all the advice and pointers I get including this one :D
Where do you found boco i could not found him anywhere
A few questions:
1.) How were you able to take the faces off?
2.) What tool would you recommend doing so?
3.) Does the same procedure work with every model from the Plarail era to the 2013 TrackMasters? If not, could you PM me instructions for each variant of the procedure? (Ex.

about 6 meters long, 1.8 meters wide
how big is your tomy layout?
yes according to the show but this is my own original creation.
Yes I did, and Jinty's are 2012 trackmaster thomas.
Is caitlyn going that fast because of the batteries or the weights
It appears that BoCo maybe your favorite engine out of the Thomas gang.
That coach is an LB&SCR No. 100 coach like Annie and clarabel only with painted and not moulded or open windows. i suggest making a brake coach.
You make Stephen just like in the t.v. Versión or in the Stephenson's rocket 1979 versión.
Ucweon I am 12 years old and I am a huge fan of your videos I have some advice though. I think you should do custom steam team members such as a Thomas, Edward, Henry, Gordon, James, Percy, Toby, and Emily with more detail and LED lights on each locomotive.

Can you Get another Trackmaster Stephen and make it into a stephenson's rocket 1979 versión.
thanks very much yes he is so fast he flips over in the turns haha
Maybe you should customize an 2012 remote control percy with a light then paint and add some details where the lights are
Nice use of wooden trains in the backgrounds like in one there was a winstone and Trevor and I saw a Douglas but my mom said it was to expencive it was 20 $ and a shake shake bridge set was 18.99
of course you can but you must be careful not to mess it up!
I wont be throwing it away i may strip it down and repaint it.
Is the catlin light up
Nah you could do the motor swaps man its easy! you did the lamp mod and it turned out great! be careful though you will find every engine sucks when you start modifying them and you want everything upgraded haha
Ucwepn can you upload trackmaster Merlin review and first run?
Ebay they are zinc coated steel.
Amazing custom model video I really love it like a lot ❤
Very nice video; congratulations on the 9,000 subscribers my friend, and a very funny use of a popular internet meme! Cheeky Caitlin making you eat your own words on the very same day.
Can you do a customized Bluebell just like the one I did in my video
dude you know faces you did on jinty and the other black trains the thing is how did you take off the face and made a custom smokebox door and put it on your some of your trains the thing is how did you do that you should do a video on how to make a custom smokebox door I'd be very grateful if you did one
How about 1. A Billington E2 Tank Engine, 2. A J70 Tram Engine or 3. Pip and Emma?
i plan to do a pug but with a smokebox door instead of a face
Stephen looks very cool in custom with a stephenson's rocket coach
Could you make James real life model with the lms and henry old shape
Hey Ucwpen,nice paint job on Stephens coach, but as seen in king of the railway(not to sure you have seen it) Stephens coach is blue and he has 2 coaches, if you see this, please comment back
1:17 you made puffa from tugs
not sure hopefully this week
Can u make a diesel ten with a moving claw
Don't all tomy, Trackmaster, plarail, and Fisher Price trains have two speeds moving and off
If I buy trackmaster Stephen can I detail him
No I can't do a video today I'm on my own at the moment and housework and the kids have me swamped! School tomorrow hoping I can film then.
how do u make a smoke box door
+Rupali Khangura I buy them on ebay, search for hornby smokebox door, face removal on most engines is pretty easy with a screw but some need to be cut off.
I think two speed boco Stephen and Caitlin is my favorite custom made especially boco I like the LED light
I saw TMBrewster made a custom LED Lantern on their Catlin.
his custom power is over 9000!!
you did the British ones from rosie and thomas
You could do a custom norman or sidney
u shouldndo one every month if you have done a coustom and if u have red express.coaches i think they would look better with caitlin.
You should work for trackmaster
I have recorded it and edited it and will upload overnight. nearly 17 mins long 0_0
Good Customs. I made some customs, too.
yes i saw that he did a great job too!
I like Diesel :D
I suppose you're right! I didn't think of that! She looks great nonetheless!
how could you do that to thomas! i bet thomas would want to have a good word with you if he was with us right now
You Should Make a Mallard Out of Spencer Because There is No Such thing as a Tomy Mallard!
hey dude you should do an e2 class tank engine by using a 1992 tomy thomas
yes i do ;D
yes i will have a think about those 2
do rws thomas but replace his chasis with percys
I think Stephen and Caitlin look nice because caitlin goes fast and Stephen has the silver side rod
Add light to your Proteus and do custom made Wilbert from Railway Series and Smudger from ttte season 4.
Is that rosie
Hi for the decals ebay and search for hornby refurb
