@@Trackmaster_Tehachapi the model of big Boy looked way too accurate to the real thing but I unfortunately didn't had the time finish the models and then since moved on from it ,note this happened over 5 years ago.

MAN those GS's models are clean ass hell! But have you seen what some people in Japan did for their big boy customs? Etheir way, looking good so far, can't wait to see more progress ^^
Re-checked it, they're actually selling 3d printed shells. Check '[Modified Plarail] Pennsylvania Railroad T1' That's pretty cool, they have a unique power solution that lets them get all wheel drive, could be useful for making something like s big boy.
@@Scott_3F I’ll keep everyone updated on progress as I go. Unfortunately there might not be much to talk about with the actual body, so it may get a community post. But actually printing and testing the body would be interesting!

IDEA: Fix one of the bogies to the body, modify the bogie frame so that a motor can fit, and power that bogie while leaving the other one articulated and unpowered.
I think you should make parts of the locomotives's liveries or at least the text out of Cricut stickers or HO transfer stickers. the hand drawn windows, details etc. don't look all that good and from all this work I know you can make great stuff!
We're more than half way to 2k but anyways I would like to see a atsf 0-6-0 switcher with the back and go Thomas chassie AFTER your done with doing the other suggestions

why not have the rear set of drivers powered and the front set as a dummy unit that can swivel if you need more power you could put a second power unit in the tender not only would there be twice the power but the dummy piece could be cut down or modified to not interfere with the boiler
@@sliverjack0283 it would just be easier to have the actual big boy be a dummy, and have the tender be the motor, similar to how Hank and Emily’s Trackmasters are, where I can get more realism out of the model rather than make it more big and bulky. You can already tell by my diesels that they need to be really wide to fit the motor

Best of luck you man!

cool trick for making a cab forward: if you put the battery and some tin foil in the trackmaster moter, it will run backwards!
I'm sure the DD40X and Big Boy are gonna be amazing!
Great your big boy will be cool
These models are amazing!
I can’t wait to see how you’re gonna handle the UP 4000 class :)
Very good start with this! :D
Wow train Big Boy Unión Pacific
I really like this concept! It seems like the only minor issue I can think of is siderods, but oh well, it'll still be awesome to see!
I’ll just cut down siderods to be short (similar to the Plarail Edward and Oliver siderods)
Ah, ok then! Best of luck!
Dude I can’t wait for this
Would love to see more on this project
Watching this while making the Lego big boy
@@KennerPerez-qq2zq nice lol, hope it goes well!
Amazing video definitely cool to see a local modelers work!
I’m going to print these trains soon Bc I have a lot of unused track and trains in my basement
MAN those GS's models are clean ass hell!
But have you seen what some people in Japan did for their big boy customs?
Etheir way, looking good so far, can't wait to see more progress ^^
I've seen some incredible things done with trackmaster/tomy. Some Japanese guy made a decent looking PRR T1, you can do this dude.

@@Trackmaster_Tehachapi ahh I see! Well, whatever the case, I’m very interested to see how this goes!
@Trackmaster_Tehachapi also make a tutorial on how to add front couplers to trackmaster locomotives
@GTKCF2023 no tutorial needed. Just take a front coupler off a truck and hot glue it on the loco
Best of luck for you on that big boy (or challenger)
Can you try to do the cab forward?
It’s coming, the big boy trackmaster we are coming soon ❤😊😊😊❤

hi
IDEA: Fix one of the bogies to the body, modify the bogie frame so that a motor can fit, and power that bogie while leaving the other one articulated and unpowered.
Something tells me this boy's gonna be big.
Perchance
with this chassis you have proven a PRR t1 is possible to make
Someone in Japan already made a Plarail T1, albeit in a more conventional/traditional Plarail Style than this
@nottelling8129 yeah but his wheel Arrangement would be more accurate to the t1
I CAN'T WAIT BUILD NOWW!!!!!!!!
IM TRYINGGG :(
@@Trackmaster_Tehachapi alright. Good.
@@Trackmaster_Tehachapi I can't wait for the results!
siivagunner has rotted my brain so hard that i expected the background music to be overlayed with the lyrics to Russkij Pusskij by Carlito
Not this time, but if I ever use the SMW athletic theme again it WILL include the PAL version
BIG BOIIII
If the big boy plan doesn’t work I’d say make challenger since it has a smaller wheelbase or 844. You simply can’t have a 4449 without an 844.
Rest in peace Connor and Caitlin
2012 to 2023 or 2024
I wonder how your Big Boy locomotive will look like once completed
Speaking of I got to see the big boy pass through my town on Monday
Nice! I saw it on July 14th in Roseville, and that kinda inspired me to make thiz
big boi
3:00 thart is so Sacramento!!!!!!
I'm actually making one
You have to make a AC-9
do you plan on doing more SP steam? like the Overlands, or the other daylight trains?

Hey trackmaster Tenachapi can you make up 4014 part 2 tomorrow?
@@jenniferhernandez615 I have an upload schedule, and I also have school. I’d like too, but I can’t until this Saturday
When do make this custom?
Make part 2!!!!
I missed the up 4014 and it was in iowa. ☹️
@@Breakvan. it’ll be back eventually, UP will keep running their Big Boy forevermore
The same thing for me it was in Illinois

Make prat 2
would you give Bigboy side rods?
@@thomastheyoutuber9933 yup. I’m gonna cut down siderods shorter (similar to Plarail Edward or Oliver)
How did you get that plastic big boy
@@josemoreno3622 it’s a model kit sold by Revell, pretty sure you can find it on Amazon or EBay (or other websites)
