It took some real skill adding the ponytruck and extending the foot plate, and you did an excellent job. James has always been one of my favorites, and you couldn't have picked a better model for him.
Tug, thank you for re-uploading all of your videos. They got me back into Thomas with a new appreciation for it after I left it in 2017. I’ve also shown some of them to my family, along with Trampy’s movies and Project Tiger Moth. This was the first one I showed them and they think it’s pretty interesting what the Thomas fandom does. I remember you said at some point that you were gonna review all of the Star Wars movies in the style of the Cars video, do you still have plans to do that? It’d be interesting to see what my dad would think of that lol. Anyway, thank you again for these wonderful videos.
It’s honestly really funny looking back at this video after seeing a thomas story book tweet which said James came to sodor as an 0-6-0 and was given the bogie and extended footplate after his first day crash
@@tonyhakston536 That same picture also pretty closely resembles the J11 compared to the later illustrations with a more domed firebox and altered cab windows. Only real variation in the black James from a J11 would be James would appear to be carrying the smokebox further ahead of the front drivers. Either way, it wouldn't be hard in Sodor lore to make a case that James was a rebuild engine from a wreck, or like Henry was a one off experimental, purchased, wrecked, and rebuilt, albeit not as extensively as Henry.
Does anyone else find it funny that he cannibalized the pony truck from a mogul...so he could put it on an 0-6-0 and make THAT a mogul? Seriously though Tug, you did a supreme job with this mod!
While it doesn’t quite fit my vision of James, I still love this model a lot and it’s an awesome, well made take and I respect how much work and modifications went into this to make your ideal James, I don’t think I’m that ambitious or brave to try something so drastic lol. Props as always Tug, another phenomenal model
I have to say, i think James looks absolutely splendid (heh) as a LYR Class 29, because I think they have a certain elegance to them. But the J11 is also fantastic, and I generally love how creative modelers get with their kitbashes.

I was in 5th Grade when this series came out. I loved then, and I love it now in 2024. Also, the music could be in the Thomas movie hopefully coming out, sense it’s cinematic and orchestral
So the Lancashire and Yorkshire railway class 29 2-6-0 mogul was a locomotive concept that was created, but was never built still the L&YR class 28s would look great as 2-6-0 moguls it’s just how I see it but the one thing to ask was there a reason why the Lancashire and Yorkshire railway class 29 was never built I mean there are many locomotor concepts that were canceled one of the reasons I can recall is because of the outbreak of World War II but what about this locomotive? Was there a reason why it was never built?
Eh, I think the first 3 characters that started it all are a bit better in terms of character development and background history, but that's just my opinion.
If you kept the color of james black you would get the version of james with the wooden break blocks and if you just remove the liner lettering on his tender it would look like james with the wooden break blocks
Hot Take: Like FirePorter, James in my personal AU is a SECR N Class. Nothing wrong with the L&Y Class 28, but I though it made James roughly the same size as Edward, so like how Henry was a one point a Medium-sized engine, N Class James would get the same treatment that Atlantic Henry never had.
I was almost gonna use this engine to do my own custom James but I instead went with shapeways and they had the l&yr class 28 although they nicknamed it the 29 cuz it had all the true James features. You should check it out if you ever decide to redo James. They have other similar ones you my like as well

James the Fat Rocket.
@@theholygamer969James the Fat Engine
Henry: 😂🤣🤪 X_D
He’s not wrong I remember those illustrations he was definitely thicker than on the show!
James: I am not fat.
Tomy's cgi redisign: u sure about that.
Therapist: “Don’t worry, model James with the tv face isn’t real. He can’t hurt you.”
Model James with the Tv face: 0:01
Tbh, I never liked 1:1 models with engine faces slapped on either. You have to simplify the shape, or the face clashes.
Lol 🤣
This was one of the most creative engines of the NWR Railway that you have made, good job on making James
the North Western Railway Railway…?
James has got to be my favorite build of yours because of the extra work you put in to extending the frame for the front pony truck
It took some real skill adding the ponytruck and extending the foot plate, and you did an excellent job. James has always been one of my favorites, and you couldn't have picked a better model for him.
Yes it looks like that out of a box is so good
I personally would've went with an LMS Johnson 3F for James.
Edward is an k2 class
Ditto for me❤❤❤ I agree with you on James being based on a class 28 just wouldn’t have been right.
I can’t wait until we get new videos in this series. It’s become one of my favorites, especially the video showing Tug’s full layout.

2:24 has given me idea for a head cannon
James is so cocky because he’s a one of a kind ✨experimental✨ engine that worked
That... Actually makes a whole lot of sense. That and combining Tug's interpretation of James being in complete denial of who he is.
I actually think James was built wrongly like Henry, but the problems were fixed mere days after he got his "first firing"
Or after shed 17

Could you do a video on why Gordon, Henry, and James are considered big engines, but Edward, Donald, and Douglas are not.
I'd never thought of that before, but are right. It's a bit weird. He should finish reuploading 1st, but I really like your idea.
James is one of the big engines because he says he is.
I think the big engines are more like a social group than a physical description.
Gordon James and Henry are the three biggest of the original engines.
James is actually slightly larger than Edward.
Donald and Douglas work on the little western so they barely see
I have to say, i think James looks absolutely splendid (heh) as a LYR Class 29, because I think they have a certain elegance to them. But the J11 is also fantastic, and I generally love how creative modelers get with their kitbashes.

Are you going to be continuing this series with your newer models?

HEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRREESSSSSSS JAMES
_HELLO GORDON~~_ IS IT ✨TOMORROW?✨
The Way James Said *Hello* At The Beginning 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
James is the only one who can talk.
His only line is: Hullo Gordon! Is it tomorrow?
(George Carlin)
This video is James approved, Splendid job, Tug.
1:27 I like how all of the engine are colorful and James is just black like his younger self
James’ basis has always been intriguing to me. The front wheels always made it stand out from the real engine.
When you get back to the realistic models, I would like to see Molly, Neville, Murdoch, Wilbert or Emily in your collection.
3:29 Like it was meant to be.😮
James my first tomy engine
I've listened to 6:55 and yeah, great music with great arrangements.
James is the best!!!!!! #5
Don’t come at me it’s a personality trait. I’m mostly like James that’s why he’s the best
HULLO! Gets me every time
Because of you using a J11 for your James model, I now depict the red engine (from the Sad Story of Henry) as a J11. lol
If you wanted to go further with this bash, I'd go for an extended smokebox.
Had me bust out laughing at 6:14
Now this, This is a real good one Tug
2:55 THERE ARE FACES! TUG, WHEN ARE WE GOING TO GET THE PROP ACCURATE BOIS?
So the Lancashire and Yorkshire railway class 29 2-6-0 mogul was a locomotive concept that was created, but was never built still the L&YR class 28s would look great as 2-6-0 moguls it’s just how I see it but the one thing to ask was there a reason why the Lancashire and Yorkshire railway class 29 was never built I mean there are many locomotor concepts that were canceled one of the reasons I can recall is because of the outbreak of World War II but what about this locomotive? Was there a reason why it was never built?
I really would like a tugs trains on the prop repricas
0:01 scared me so much!!!
This is why James and Duck are the 2 best characters in the whole Thomas franchise
Eh, I think the first 3 characters that started it all are a bit better in terms of character development and background history, but that's just my opinion.
Did you know that Michael Angelis gave James a Liverpudlian accent just like Jess Harnell for Wakko Warner from Animaniacs?
Fun Fact: My Name Is James! And I'm Happy This Turned Out And I'm Glad I Have The Same Name of a Famous Character!
Hello James
0:01 “HELLO!” “Why does my model train have a face?”
Hi Tug, sorry you had to start over
If you kept the color of james black you would get the version of james with the wooden break blocks and if you just remove the liner lettering on his tender it would look like james with the wooden break blocks

James' ✨hello!✨at the start 😂😂
James approved👍
Bro, why does everybody think James is a big engine? He’s literally the same size as Edward.
James is said to be slightly larger than Edward. And Besides The Big Engines isnt a actual description of the three and is more of a social group.
I wonder if the footplate of the j-11 is removable from the boiler. If so, I’d do that and 3D print an extended footplate
0:00 theres a jamesscare
James is my all time favorite character
hello! Good video
got your first like!
James is the best model in this series
You did a good job tug james is my favorite engine he so unique
Nice
Hey unlucky tug it’s good to see your getting back on your feet and reinstalling your channel videos
1:13 Barry. Is that you ?
Barry: yep! It is me!
Nice model!
0:01 hello!
james has blue lining in every bit except his firebox and boiler
Maybe if you find a Bachmann Fowler tender that would look good on James.
That "HELLO" jumpscares me for real
2 years later and we still haven’t seen the prop accurate boys
Tbh he looks good with that tender, its just your own take don't feel like you need to improve it, its fine now, most cant so anything like this!
0:02 hi😊
Now me personally, I REALLY wanna see those prop accurate models
5:36 U Know, I Don't Know Why, But This Shot Of James Is Starting To Make Me Think He Looks A Bit Like Alled, Just Get Rid Of The 5 On His Tender
Did anyone realise Thomas and Gordon's wheel's doesn't go in their wheel caps in the prop models
I like the Bachman j11 for James I think it matches the railway illustrations.
You need 1 billion subscribers bro
Did you end up going over the handrails with silver or did you scrape off the paint that got on the handrails?

hi tug, sorry to bother you if you're currently busy, but what was the size of the balsa wood sheet(s) you had used for this?
James is the same freaking size as Edward don’t you understand , 5:00
nice, personally I'd have started with a mogal and strip the outside cylidner off if possible.
Damn this guy should make his own store or company
Why do none of your engines have faces?
Cause its his AU
2:22 so like percy?
I was almost gonna use this engine to do my own custom James but I instead went with shapeways and they had the l&yr class 28 although they nicknamed it the 29 cuz it had all the true James features.

*"Here's James!"*
What's best place to get working trains models for the prices .
Wanna start my collection
James: Hello! 0:01
my favorite part of this is when he was makeing james pilot boggie
This is my fave character
"I just rolled with it" (no pun intented)
I love that you did these engines in a "realistic" form!
To be honest this is my pass time and it’s relaxing like asmr and such don’t ask why on my comment section on my yt channel
