FWR "Fathers Wonderful Railway".
Tell your dad that Layout is amazing. Your ability to take something so simplistic and turn it into something that looks like it came out of the Hornby "Super Detail" range, is outstanding! Can't wait for the next episode!
Keep up the good work!
Thank you what a great comment 😊, I will tell him 😁
Turning an ugly duckling into a Swan. An impressive and skilful upgrade of a really basic model into a little gem. A joy to watch and a great tutorial on how to achieve a greater level of modelling. Thank you for sharing and motivating me to upgrade some of my older model trains.
Thank you Chris, Its nice to know I am motiving you to work on your old locos!
This is a loco i remember my father having when I was a kid, at least a version of the tooling. Great work and a fairly simple guide to how effective updating older models can be.
Great stuff. Interestingly, if you look at photos of the prototype, the brake handle looks a lot more like the one you fitted. One other addition you could make is to use Glue 'n' Glaze to glaze the cab windows.
Glue n gkaze is a good idea. The only problem I've found is they set very soft and slightly tacky so the smallest bits stick to it.
I've not used it before but I've seen it being advertised. Maybe one day I will check it out, Thank you
Lovely. The cries of "TOY TRAIN" have been forever silenced. I always had a feeling that those little 'pocket rocket' engines would scrub up nice. You've proved it. Thank you.
I cut up small pieces from a Peco points pack and use them for window glazing on buildings.
Dident expect you hear jago
Hello. Buenas tardes. Mario from the wet Buenos Aires Argentina. Excellent work, congratulations. The model has been very nice. My admiration from Argentina.
Thank you Very much!!
Great idea to choose the Hornby basic 0-4-0 tank loco. There must be millions of them out there. Great job Tris.
Thank you 😊 There are alot indeed.
Wow what a fantastic job you did of this fella. Looks awesome.
Thank you Gareth, Glad you like it!
What a superb rebuild of a cheap loco. I was not sure at first but your insight to the rebuild was awesome and the out come was fantastic Tris.Top Man.
Thank you sir 😁 I did wonder what people might be thinking when I did it 😊
Hi Tris. What a wonderful "conversion"; well done!
Thank you Paul!
What a brilliant video. Very inspirational. I have a number of these budget locomotives still in boxes that I have never used as considered too 'basic'. I will now have a go at trying out your 'super detailing'. Thanks for sharing this wonderful video.
Thank you Martin, yes there is alot that can be done to make the basic locos look a little more detailed. I'm looking to do another one again one day.
Great transformation Tris. That locomotive looks wonderful. Thanks for sharing. Roy.
Thank you Roy! Means alot 😊
Very inspirational video Tris, and as always, you have such a peaceful sounding delivery. Perfect late night viewing. Regards Gary
Thank you very much!
What a way to go. Brilliant Tris. Thanks for tips.
Thank you Chris! I'm glad you liked it!
What a transformation and so impressive 👏. I would really love to have ago myself but, I'm just not confident enough. When it comes to scenery though I am able to create a naturalistic effect and I very much enjoy doing buildings especially town and country style stations. I have now subscribed so that I can learn more of your skills. Thank you for such an informative video.
Thank you, i am glad you enjoyed it and pleased you have subbed
What an excellent little project video. Well done on how it turned out. Great way to show off your talents.
Thank you, it’s a good way to build your confidence 😊
Lovely little make over and upgrade
Well done
Nick Australia
Thank you Nick! Its cool my video has reached you in Australia!
You did a great job on this loco.
Not sure I'd spend that much time and money on a very basic model, but you certainly got a good result.
What a fantastic, informative video. Amazing transformation. Well done you!!!
Thank you
super job Tris . have to agree the large couplings would be the size of a double bed !
Thank you. Yes it was nice to shrink them down 😊
Dear Sir,
This was indeed an enjoyable lesson. Great result.
Cheers from Brazil.
Thank you, I’m glad it’s helped in some way 😊
Watching this video has really inspired me to have a good go on some of my 00/009 locos! Thanks 👍🏻
The descriptions and where you got the various items was very helpful.
Glad I could help!
Excellent work triss must have the patience of the gods thankyou for the video
Ah Thank you 😁
Tris, that is a wonderful job, a huge congratulations is well deserved, the difference is amazing, like chalk & cheese. Cheers Greg
Thank you Greg, I appreciate that it was fun to do and I’m glad you enjoyed it
Great job on the repaint & Upgrade of the little locomotive!
Thank you very much!
Tris, didn't know you did this. Been watching all of your Schumacher videos to help build my laydown.
I guess we all have other hobbies, you found mine 😁
@@OONeal be watching a lot more. Just bought first set for my little boy.
Superbly done Tris, those details made such a difference. So many great pointers and use of small parts, I've taken note of a few of them, as some of what you used is exactly what I'm after, great upload. All the best. Brian @ The Angels.
Hello Brian, that’s really great. I’m glad I can help in some way 😊
I really enjoyed this video. You have a really relaxing manner, which makes it to listen to as well.
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
Thanks tris, that was a great very informative video, I've got a 14xx with missing handrails and some Mark's on the body, you've inspired me to give it a go. I've got a little cheap loco I can practice on. The engine looks great. Eddy xx
Glad it was helpful!
This is really interesting and useful. Please do more videos like this! I'd love to see how you'd tackle something like a Dean Single. I'm just getting into the hobby and I'm really interested in how to take cheaper models and detail them up to look nice.
I'm glad I can plull up some old memories for you. Glad you enjoy the channel
@@OONeal Well, not so much old memories as a new hobby I'm exploring through cheaper second-hand models. But videos like this are definitely good inspiration!
Hi Tris, that is something I have not done and I must say, you made that look soo easy… Great results, good watch..enjoyed that.. All the best, Chris
It was enjoyable to do thank you and I’m looking forward to trying more difficult tasks 😊 thank you. I’ve finished your parts by the way. I plan to post them tomorrow 😊
Hey Tris…. What a great little project. There are plenty of entry level locos that can be improved to look really good…..Well done you.
Regards …. Steve 👍
Cheers, I hope others take up the task of doing some detail work.
What a brilliant job, thanks for sharing.
Thank you! Cheers!
Great video - informative and inspirational without some of the inane chatter that others desire to inflict upon us. Like the banners - easy to note things down 👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
I have this loco (already in GWR green) from my first starter set and I am planning on detailing it. Your video is a huge inspiration for me. I am afraid of installing proper handrails on the loco, but I can see it is totaly worth it.
Thank you, with the hand rails you just need to take your time and you will be fine. Perhaps practice on something else
Brilliant. Thoroughly enjoyed watching this video...
What a wonderful job. I just got this locomotive, well same type in the most recent Christmas set. I really like the way it runs etc. I'm going to leave that as a Santa express steamer but I will purchase the set again(only way I can get 1 cheap here in the states at $60 for the entire set) and repaint the steamer. I never have it stalling on points etc.
Thank you, that’s great I hope you get one for a good price
Absolutely superb job, well done, it looks like a completely different engine and so good.
Thank you! It was very enjoyable to do.
Very interesting video - I like modifying rolling stock and the techniques showed in this video are very interesting for me 👍🙏 🙋♂️Greetings from Belgium 🇧🇪 🙋♂️
I'm glad I could help you in some way!
Excellent work Tris.
Thank you so much 😀
Hi Tris- That came out very well and now looks a very nice Loco. Thanks for advising where you got the detailing items from. I have decided that with the cost of new locos (Hornby increasing by 10% ) I am getting older locos and adding detail.
Cheers Kev
I think we can do a lot with the older locos which is such a positive when thinking of our wallets. Thank you for your comments 😊
Wow, this is just beautiful, congratulations man
Thank you Means alot 😊
Tris you made that loco look AWESOME
Thank you Jade, I appreciate that!
Excellent job and instruction
Thank you Charles 😊
Thank you for the great video, the little locomotive turned out very nice. 👍👍👍
I have subscribed to your channel 👍
Many greetings Uwe
Thank you Uwe! I'm glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Yeah that's alright that lad, well done!
It's nice adding these little bits to models...
Sometimes thinking of the basic stuff on offer as a starting point and you can then add bits on as you wish over the weeks, months and years, you don't even need to change ALL of the details, just what you think should catch the eye a little more 😁
Good work mate👍
That was a wonderful job Tris. I’m go to have to give it a go myself on day, I’ve also got some restoration jobs to do that can result in a bit of upgrading along the way.
Thanks Rob yes you should you will have fun 😊
well i'm impressed lol, I have one of these locos and didn't really look at it but you have inspired me to have a go and change it to something better, well done
Thank you, I’m glad I could do that for you 😊
Brilliant work, Tris; simply stunning looks. Also a new intro, I see.
Thank you 😊 yes I hope you liked it
Really skilful work. Impressive to watch. Slight shame it's (yet) more GWR, for those of us that have that particular allergy. But there's no denying the wonderful work.
Fantastic...you have an eye for detail....
Thank you 😊
Been looking forward to this one. The finished article looks great. Now where's my own little 0-4-0 🤔
Thank you, you must dig it out and spruce it up.
Really nice, hoping you do more videos like this!
I'll try my best sir, Thank you
Tris, great video. Thanks
Thank you Andrew!
Nice!! by the way I think the chimney stack top is made from painted metal, maybe copper, with a bit of gentle pursuasion it can be removed. Strip the the factory paint and if it is copper give it a polish before popping it back.
update: I just removed it on my 101 and it's a yellow metal.
Thank you, I guess I will leave it but maybe consider it for the future 😊
Expert job, which will help many people overcome the terrors of taking a scalpel to a loco body. Great end result, but as a GW enthusiast I couldn't help noticing that you've got the lamp irons on the wrong way round. When looked at from the front they should look like a reversed capital L, with the bottom of the L on the left. When someone looks at what I've built and says 'I hope you don't mind me pointing out... ' I get really annoyed, so feel free to have a rant. Great job.
Hello no that’s great you’ve said it, I’m
No expert on this so any advice is welcome 😊 I will look at changing them 😊 thank you again
That looks so damn good, well done!
Thank you 😁
I’ve been planning to do this to my starter loco for a while, you beat me to it! :) Great video! 👍
Thank you Its super that it will give you reference in some way. Enjoy
Great demonstration.
Thank you Peter!
Great video Tris. Can you tell me what make and model are your snippers. ..xuron I assume but which one?
amazing, brilliant work.
Thank you George!
that was very informative you did a great job my friend
Thank you 😊 I'm pleased you think so
@@OONeal a pleasure to watch my friend, looking forward to the next video
I loved it! Well done!
Thank you Cameron 😊
Very nice transformation & narration, though; I thought you should have glazed the windows. You can use the clear plastic packaging cut to size.
Very nice modifications! Where did you get the lamp brackets from?
This video was really good the end result was really nice. What tweezers do you use? The loco looks really smart
where do you get the coupling chain from? Because im interested in buying some
I already had it, I think some people use jewelry chain but If I find a good source I will share it on a future video.
The footage of the running train looks a little odd. What framerate did your camera record at? I know that the video is 24 fps but it shouldn't look like this.
It is filmed at 24 frames but RUclips do something to the videos so on some videos it has a strange movement. When I check my original footage and final video it is always smooth.
Excellent Work 👌👌👌
Thank you 😊
These are Fab logos run superbly and great value I have 3 in different libraries
You can insure that the holes in the standoffs (stanchions in NA) by inserting a piece of wire between all of them before gluing. Also, who makes the buffers?
Great, but even better would be a lamp or two on those lamp irons.
That’s very true 😊
GW lamp irons were actually sideways and the lamp slid on at its side-but that's not really relevant here tho' the loco is based on a little Holden one-off.
Painting 101 in GWR Post-1928 is a bit ironic as the actual locomotive didn't make it to 1928, or past WWI. As the engine was considered "non-standard", No. 101 was scrapped in 1911 after around ten years of service.
Thank you for your infomation
Nice job I enjoyed watching that
I think I would try stripping and painting the body first, then adding all those brass and nickel metal parts and leave them as natural metal for a bit more bling . Great vid
Interesting nice job Sir
So nice of you
Lovley job Tris I have one of those Hornby 0-4-0 locos in CR Blue different body shape to yours I plan to do the same thing sometime. Paint my one into BR Black livery super detail it ect.- Nicholas.
Thank you Nicholas!
Great video!
Thank you
I liked the part where you modified it :)
I'm doing something similar so thanks for the tips
Thats great, I'm glad I can help!
great video, well done, hornby must have red faces now..the Bagnall diesel could get the same treatment
Thank you Peter 😊
You deserve to be a narrator
Well thank you 😊
Amazing work! Love the detailing it’s so inspiring. Work you ever try modifying the valve gear?
Thank you, I was thinking about it but I felt that would be for another day. It would be nice to have something nicer in there
Further proof that you don't need to spend a huge chunk of change or get the very best out of the box models to do some really good model railroading. I personally prefer to fiddle a bit with my locos and make them my own before I put them into service.
Tris after watching you detail your Holden tank I had to get back to my modeling projects. The only thing which would have improved the model a bit more would be is to make a new chassis and valve gear.
Yes that would have been a lot of fun but I would save that for another time perhaps 😊 glad you liked it
Great Job Tris :)
Thanks! 😊
Awesome video! Very informative and loved watching the progress.
Thank you! 😊
I'd love to see this done with another engine!
I may have something on the way in the future
Hi Tris where did you get the transfers from in this video please
I can never get the right size of (overscale) three link couplings that I use for wagons and some coaches without corridor connections. I found some marine models chain but I have to open out the hooks. I do miss the old Jackson couplings of the 1960s.
Its a little tricky trying to get hold of the chains. I need to keep looking for it.
I've noticed that the tank engine used in the photo is a scaled down gwr prairie.
Its a GWR Holden 101 but I agree it has that look to it.
Brilliant upgrade. Should have dropped in a 4-wire decoder
I was thinking about it but maybe sometime I will.
Not boasting but I've been able to convert two GWR liveried 101s into a O-16.5 gauge (7mm scale) Double Fairlie..
Nice I’m sure they look great
Good work
Thank you Alan! 😊
Its a pity you couldn't get different coupling rods. Apart from you made a simple toy look like a model!
Thank you, I would like to have another go at that oneday. I don't really know what options I have at the moment but I will scout around in the future 😊
Awesome!
Thank you!
How much was the total you paid for all the detailing?
Not sure exactly as some of the packets have 10 pcs in which I would use on my other projects. The most expensive parts are the buffers which there are much cheaper options out there.
@@OONeal Ah got it, thankyou~ Yeah and I'd expect that sprung buffers would be quite expensive :d It's really cool what you did with such a simple loco and made it like something one might find in a railways model :D
@@aardappeleten7701 Thank you, if you have a watch on the video I put the prices on so you could have a little add up and then work out what you would be spending. alot of the parts are very handy for other projects too so you will have a nice box of bits to use when ever you like.
A have the same loco I got it in the valley drifter set and the motor isn't working properly it often stops at low speeds but that be from the rubbish hornby controller that came with it
I see, Make sure its clean and try using a 9V pp3 battery on the track to see if its the controller or the loco. If it works with the pp3 then it might be your controller.
Good project... But GWR locos are all right-hand drive ,driver on the right, fireman on the left. They were the odd ones out post 1922.
I see, That's interesting I never thought about left or Right hand drive. Thank you for commenting, I'm always learning new things in the comments section
Footplate crew Uniforms Dark navy blue for new uniforms but after washing a few times the colour faded to a very light blue, The grease top hats are black with the top gloss black these where worn different styles as per the engine shed. Drivers had white shirts and black ties Never a RED tie but neck chiefs could be worn that colour . firemen did not wear ties unless a very important train.. Drivers had Black shine shoes but not the fireman as they where lower class and dirtier job . Footplate crew wear in Winter a Black jacket the fireman did not get his jacket until he had done a number of firing turns. All uniforms had black buttons sort of a plastic.
Thank you that is very helpful I can use it to help guide me a bit better 😊
Just use the vacuum pipes in the detail bag
You could do but they lack the detail.
