On18 Locomotives | Workbench Wednesday

- Welcome to Workbench Wednesday at Thunder Mesa Studio! This week I'm talking about my collection of On18 locomotives - how they were made, what they were built from, and where the bits and pieces came from to build these unique and funky pieces of motive power.
Thanks for watching!

Looking back, I now realize that No 5, the H. D. Ryman actually runs on a Kato 11-106 mechanism, not a 105 as stated in this video. The two units are extremely similar in size and function. Thanks to Jim Manly for catching the error.
I'm digging these Workbench Wednesdays.
I am so happy to see the rainbow Ridge mine train Porter under construction so far it’s looking great
The 4 wheel Kato drive would work for an electric “ mine motor”, either off a trolly wire or a battery unit. Here’s a crazy thought, an On18 articulated steam loco. Great Video and thanks again for sharing your creations and creative “mind with us.
Nice little locomotives. I also have this infamous MiniTrix from my HOn30 days.
I saw on Twitter several Japanese artisans making some 3D printed On18 loco, the compressed air loco from Toma Model Works is tempting (but not in stock 😞).
Al Judy is awesome!
Thems are some mighty cute little locos! Cant wait to see the Two Cylinder Shay up and running! Thanks Dave!
I would love to learn how to build a On18. I love the looks of the ones you made and are making. Big in small package. Loving these new Workbench Wednesdays keep them coming.
GOD BLESS 🚂💖🚂💖🚂💖🚂💖
Hi from New Zealand... Allan
Fascinating Dave, the way gauges can be tweaked and reapplied elsewhere. The locos look superb, your new one based on the Forney looks amazing, look forward to seeing it run when finished. Al Judy builds some astounding looking locos, I can see why you were inspired by him. All the best, keep well. Brian @The Angels
Great Steam Locomotive Models
To let you know that I enjoy the OO/ho GAUGE locomotives
Dave, I made a close copy of your climax and used a HO Bachmann spectrum 0-6-0 saddle tank switcher body and bashed it with the Kato 11-109 and boy it runs so smooth, slow and nice.. What a sweety!. Now ya got me hooked on ON18!. Thanks for these videos! The insparation is priceless!!. Dave too! LOL!
Nice video Dave
When I do On18, because lets face it, thanks to you it's inevitable... I want to get an HOn30 Shay and On18-ify it
I want to see that!
I think the A in Kato is pronounced as an Ah so the name should be pronounced kahtoh. I found your video very informative; I myself have been dreaming building TT / TTn42 layout so I would love to see a tutorial on how you assembly your 0n18 locomotives.
If you're wondering on the pronunciation of Kato, see Japanese, when written in Romanji(english letters), is pronounced the same way as a lot of Latin and European languages. A is "aw" like in "All", E is just "eh," think "complex," I is the long "ee," as in Mitsubishi or Nissan, O is just "oh," Ohio, and U is pronounced as You. Again, a lot of European languages are like this. So from this, Kato is pronounced as "Kaw-Tow." Hope this was helpful!
In many parts of Japan, the U is not actually pronounced, but "swallowed"
That's how the Matsuda family name became Mazda
Sukoshi is pronounce skoshi - Americans sometimes corrupt that to skosh, or skootch.
Lots of other examples
You need to include a train based on one of Rowland Emett‘s Designs.
Fantastic stuff Dave! That little On18 forney bash is so cute it should be classified as a weapon... you'll give folks a heart attack if you aren't careful!
Not sure if you've done much in the way of re-motoring locomotives, but there happens to be a convenient re-motoring kit for the old Minitrix 0-6-0 chassis that you've got under those Railway Recollections Porters. It's made by a really great business called Tramfabriek, based out of the UK. I've bought a couple before and the coreless motor really makes a world of difference. Just a thought!
Can't wait to see more... keep up the great work!
How about some basic dimensions of cabs and boilers??? I have a KATO chassis waiting!!! Thx
Are there any videos on how to repair slightly damaged trains or trestles etc?
Haven't done that yet but it's a good topic
Are you able to add an LED headlight to these chassis ? I definitely want to get into this scale thank you so much for the inspiration!!
What do you do on Toolbox Tuesday?
I am interested in what ca you use that has that long tip
The tips are purchased separately. It's just regular CA. ruclips.net/video/hEkJX0Zri6Q/видео.html
Thx
On a different topic, I was wondering if you would consider making available for a download the template pattern for the Gruesome gulch passenger train car. I would love to try my hand at making one
Are the kato drive units all wheel drive?? Definitely gonna buy these
I have a question, is this a coffeepot engine? 4:06
HI off topic BUT I NEED HELP! I want to make an on30 loco, what new HO chassis do I buy and where ?
I love all your on18 locos!!!

0n18 track is "N" scale track?
No. It's the same gauge. The ties in N scale track are way too small. I use Peco HOn30 track - also 9mm gauge.
What is the smallest radius you can drive these on?
My smallest is 8" radius. I haven't really experimented, but I imagine the 2 axle units might be able to go down to a 4" radius or smaller.
@@ThunderMesaStudio Thanks. That is much smaller than anyone here in Germany recommends.
kay toe - there is no R sound in the Japanese dialect
