Building Talyllyn Railway no.6 'Douglas' in 009 Narrow Gauge 

When working with resin prints, you are much better off using a razor saw to separate pieces than clippers or a knife. Either of the latter will cause the resin to flex as you cut into it, causing breakages as you found with the roof.

Looks amazing! Douglas has so much character and stands out so much on the Talyllyn. Just the same with Alf

The model came out brilliant! My heart just about stopped when the roof broke.

Extraordinary quality build as always, I just received one of those Percys for the chassis in the post a few days ago, they have no business being as good as they are!

Super satisfying. Felt like that Toy Story 2 scene of the oldman fixing Woody! With the Walchaerts Valve Gear it would be Perfect.

Very impressed with the detail on this one.

Heres a tip. When it comes to brushed detail , like that cab cream especially, use enamel paints. One coat coverage means half the buggering about

This is WAY too underrated! This is amazing I’m just about finished watching it so know I will watch the Edward-Thomas video! This is amazing also I love the part where you say you hate the cream interior painting 😂

Very cool, and will look amazing with a crew.

Perfect Loco there👍 I believe the Skarloey coach was painted in Douglas’ left over blue. Great watch as always

This is great, having seen the real loco this year, you have done a great representation. Also the weathering is a nice touch. Regards James

Great finish George! The transfers really complete the model

Great idea with the cotton buds

A lovely looking model, Resin and 3D printing really do seem to be revolutionising the model world. I don't model in 009 but your channel is a great watch and is making it difficult for me not to have a dabble.

Absolutely love how this one came out - I am impressed by how well the mechanism hides on this thing, and I wish I had your painting skills :)) Westcliffe really did an amazing job, and so did you, so I am incredibly excited for more Tallylyn locos . For couplings, my personal vote would be the same ones as the Corris layout, partially for consistency and partially so you have the option of running stock from one on the other for interest if that's ever something you want to - but this layout is a different location and era so go with whatever works :))

The RAF blue just can't be beat.

I’m new to model railways but Iv inherited a 009 railway and love the Tal so I’m unashamedly copying you 😅😅😅 so much to learn but I’m enjoying it

The real Skarloey Coach, Open No.8, was actually painted using the left over blue paint from No.6's repaint in 2018! So using the same colour on the models is spot on haha

incredible video mate and well i just ordered some TR kits from westcliff thanks to your build video

“The smokebok dart” - George, 27th October 2023 Brilliant model as always, keep it up!

Amazing model. I didn’t know that you worked on the talyllyn.

Very cool....from across the pond! I'd like to do this in On18. Sort of an old west bash. Thanks.

Brilliant job! Your models are seriously inspiring me to make my own TR OO9 fleet. Also i believe the knob thing on the back of Douglas is for a little beeper thing for driver and guard to communicate with?

hey dude the blue they used on their rcent coach for the awdry extravagaza used the same blue as douglas so pretty realistic blue lol

A great job on a lovely loco. I'd suggest you tone down the bright finish on the coupling and connecting rods. In the past I've dry brushed flat black, although your method of washing black off would probably work well.

It looks just like Duncan from Thomas and friends

You say the paint is similar to number 8 but only recently found out that the blue paint is from number 6. Also the “weird circle thing” is the TCS cable

Water slide decals really need to go over a gloss varnish, it improves adhesion, then use satin as you do normally.

Nice job, one day I hope 3D printing will improve further and be able to avoid those diagonal printing lines (you can see them on the cab). But the details on the print are super. I also wonder how long before multi colour 3D printing??

what superglue do you use? it seems to go on nicely without any frosting!

been doing some railway modelling lately but have mostly been using spray cans and brush painting. really impressed with the results from airbrushes but dont know what to go for,, they are quite expensive so want to make sure i get something good. do you have any tips or recomendations. and douglas looks lovely.

someone get the talyllyn railway to comment on this video. NOW!!!!

Just curious where did you get the plates for douglas' RAF thingy not sure what its called as i carnt see them on light raikway stores

So actually on the real coach 8 they used RAF blue as they had it and wouldn't have to buy new paint so this makes it more accurate to the real loco and coach in a way! Also we're did you get those transfers I could use some.

You can use this to make a realistic Duncan model

I wish bachmann made Duncan right now

Will you be doing any Halloween projects this year? Like a ghost train?

honestly he’d be quite the looker painted yellow get the hint?

does the guy who made 6's water slide decals have a store site or do commissions?

i thought you was painting the cab silver by the way the paint looked

Is it weak at all? My n scale Percy is too weak to pull more than one coach. My Peter Sam also struggles…

Alf Next week??

Why would you use a box cutter to remove the roof the sprue cutters should have been the first option

It looks just like Duncan from Thomas and friends
