How I Built Duck & Oliver - Tug's Trains 

Aw, Oliver's so realistic! Not even being able to move like when he was going to be sold for scrap in Escape!

8:00 Oliver stops working. Duck: *"Hello Oliver, are we being a good-gracious engine?. Beg pardon of course but we really don't like this sort of surprise."*

That's the thing, Oliver doesn't NEED a new chassis! The deal here is that this particular 14xx was actually a parts engine that my friend and I bought to do a traction tire delete on my Airfix 14xx, so it's got another set of traction tires when it's not supposed to, which means it can't pick up any power from the tracks. Guarantee that once a set of those wheels are replaced with some steel-rimmed ones it'll run just fine!

Love the idea of keeping Donald and Douglas separated! It would make them much easier to identify, especially when they’re paired together. It honestly makes so much sense that they should be visually distinct by their paint job, that I’m surprised that was never a plot point in the books or tv shows!!

Duck and Oliver. In my opinion. Ate the BEST characters.

You did a great job with the Little Western duo. Shame about having to get Oliver a new chassis, though. I can't wait to see how Donald and Douglas turn out.

I think your idea for Donald and Douglas is a great one, makes the two feel different frm each other and helps lessen the confusion between the two. Hope you can find a suitable chassis for Oliver.

Gotta love the use of Home’s “Sunshower” as the intro, just like SummoningSalt with Home’s “We’re Finally Landing”

For the round cab windows, you could’ve made them using some random parts. I’ve found that the bottom sides of LEGO studs work pretty well

"There are two ways of doing things, the great western way or the wrong way" And this most definitely is the great western way.

And like the idea how you're making Donald and Douglas separate colors you can tell who's who and you can say that Sir Topham Hatt didn't want them to switch tenders

Can’t wait to see our Scottish Twins.

I don't know if you've already fixed Oliver since the original video was made, but you could try and replace the motor. Finding a spare motor or replacing it with a different one might be cheaper than buying a brand new chassis.

Duck and Oliver are one of my favorite characters of all time

I think that the reason why Duck has the number 5741 is that he realy did work at Wales and felt envy for his brothers who got to work at London, so he made up stories to make himself feel better about himself to make him seem like an important engine towards others.

Such great customs and a great format for reviewing some of the simpler customs can’t wait for what’s next maybe the Scottish twins or spam can

best case scenario for Oliver is to just replace the motor. I know the part number is X8057, which can be found for less than 10 bucks online at various shops. No soldering is needed, the wire is screwed on

8:39 (Oliver cries like a newborn baby for a split second before the camera cuts to the next scene)

Oliver has stage fright he's not dead

You could put 9 , Donnald and 10 Douglas on different side of each model the. Depending on what way the loco is facing you have Donald and Douglas represented in both livery just depending on what way they are facing.

In my AU Oliver is actually called Garden Heights (place in my AU) and his shade of green gave him the nickname Oliver.

I think having both the Caledonian twins in the same color they can be told apart by there numbers and name plates

These models are truly Great Western.

So nice to watch these again while they're being reuploaded

I like the idea of representing Donald and Douglas in different liveries! Even the fat controller knows that repainting an engine takes time so the scenario could be that one has had the repaint and the other is still waiting.

Really like the colour you picked for them. I find it amazing how you have created a real model railway with most of the characters. It is shame you don't live in the UK, you could have a touring exhibition here!

Great Job on both models glad to see you're up and running again.

Oliver narrowly avoiding being scrapped again

Duck has probably been my favorite tank engine and donald and douglas have always been my favorite tender engines

Honestly, make them BOTH blue. The black representation has been used for so long and the blue just makes them look more visually appealing.

For "Oilver" try looking around for an older Airfix chassis. The traction tires on the middle axle make for really poor electrical pick-up, and the old middle axle from the Airfix chassis swapped into the Hornby Chassis usually makes for a more reliable runner.

I love they way you did this dynamic duo! A cool thing that you could do if you have time is make Diesel, it would be quite funny having them together with duck.

Best trains ever. U did a very nice job my friend. Keep up the good work

See this specific video pop on my fyp just made my day so much better

Those too (Duck and Oliver) Look great, I think Dougie (Douglas) Should be black like in the series

At some point in the past someone’s done a number on that 14xx. All 4 driving axles have wheelsets with traction tyres whereas from factory they’re only supposed to have one set of wheels with tyres. No wonder it wouldn’t run.

This interesting concept for D&D is one in NWR Blue while the other is in Black, which I imagine The Fat Controller would do to prevent a repeat of the missing coach incident.

Oliver took a nap real quick just a Long Nap

Oliver's just being a good gracious engine.

Duck: I love it so much thanks Tug! ^^ Oliver: - Realize he couldn't movie - ............ - Let's out a High Pitch Baby Crying noises - Duck: Don't worry he will give you new wheels somehow plus we have Toad and Isabel. P.s. I love that Color Feature of Donald so much that matches the illustrations of the Railway Series. Maybe I could do it in Trackmaster Version in the future.

I do like the silver smokebox darts and hinges - very classical Great Western. Copper-topped funnels might be a step too far though.

If you do Donald and Douglas into different colors you can't mix them up as much

Hornby railroad has a pre-order for 14xx for I believe 79.99 so if you want a new chassis.

I would've loved it if Donald and Douglas had different liveries in the series at some point, they'd absolutely argue over who's is better

Since Dapol is doing OO 14XX’s, maybe you can use its chassis when it launches.

You make the best models ever

Happy 50K SUBS

I went on TMC (because Hattons is closed obviously) searched ‘5700’ and found right livery and circle windows from accurascale

I hope we get to see Donald & Douglas soon!

Donald and Douglas can't wait

Tug hornby just released the 1400 for $70 on their website

Remember these fids first upkoading. Love youre work tug. I bought a bachmann oliver a few months ago. My reason for Oliver first was price.

Accurascale made a 57xx class numbered 5741, which is the number duck wears in The Railway Series. If I were to get that locomotive I will paint it up to look like duck from The Railway Series like you did

When it comes to Donald and Douglas I actually really like that idea of having one in black why the other blue it just speeds that maybe the twins were bickering what liberty they should have and they were stuck and they were kind of getting old about being mistaken for each other so like fine you take 1 and all and I'll have the other.

GWR will always be my favorite British railway.

For the Record I can't tell that Ducks buffer housing where card. I wouldn't of noticed it until you pointed it out.

When you get Oliver a new chassis, you should get him Toad as well. As for Donald and Douglas, I would have preferred if both of them were black. We already have a lot of blue engines, but very few black ones.

I remember watching this when it first came out during lunch at school last year

8:21 I know the reference has already been made, but I can't not ask, is he being a good gracious engine? lol

I love the Little Western Duo

Nice Duck and Oliver models!

Soo if you think about it... James is a Dean Goods engine right? And the Dean goods class engines were built by the GWR, so that means... JAMES IS AN GREAT WESTERNER AS WELL!!!

You need to build a model train version of the train that inspired Toby The Tram Engine.

0:29 "will start with 🦆"

I have a feeling that once the reuploading finishes, we might see a certain stirling single.

Both in blue

That 14xx used to work but it fell off my layout and it never ran so sorry about the broken base

What about Henry in his old shape ? Unlucky Tug

I don’t know why but I love GWR 5700’s I also love GWR 1400’s

Hello Tug. I've been enjoying your model train shorts where you show them running on your layout. Just to let you know, I have a Hattons 14xx going spare if you wanted one for Oliver. You said you had one yourself but was reluctant to use it for Oliver because they're rare now, but If you do want to use one for him I have a spare you can have.

Next sodor's finest: Annie & Clarabel

I do wanna say something I don't remember if it was you before your old channel got deleted or if it was someone else but isn't Oliver's actual running number 1420 and then he has different number plates that were presumably ripped off with a scrap that engine

Nice to see

Oliver is 1420 in the hd reskins of the books

There is Caledonian railway 812 which is donald and douglas' irl basis so you would need 2 of tyem

Hang on, BR Black is TV series!

Mistah Olivah i’ve snorted coacine

Are you going to make RWS Old Shape Henry?.

I love Great Western Engines and especially like the 1400 class

rip oliver

I would try getting a new Hornby 14xx, but the new Railroad Plus one still has a faulty mechanism. They tried fixing the pickup issues but it still didn’t solve anything.

I got to say I prefer to see the twins in black since it gets a bit boing seeing almost all the trains either blue or green.

I think they should both be in blue

"Oliver is dead" -said the frustrated man.

Nice video the unlucky tug

no NO PUT 9 AND 10 ON THE TENDERS THEN PAINT BOTH IN BLUE!!!

8:40 *le cries*

2:26 Because of magic.

You could have used the buffers from your old pannier for duck

Nice

Dapol are making a 14 in 00 now which is great

you should try to tackle fegus next i never see anyone try to tackle him

For the longest time I never knew Duck and Oliver were cousins

(i tried too remember my old comment from the old channel but just paint them the NWR blue

Duck:QUACK oliver:What

do u have any duplicates of the models ur percy model is so cool edit: nvm ik how to make 1

Why were you trying to find a GWR liveried version... just to paint it over? Wouldve been easier to widen the search to BR versions too

hey unluckytug I just had a question, blick doesnt have saphire blue, brick rex, mint green, anything on their website. do you have a link or a website you got it from?

Just curious but when do you plan on releasing some of the other videos of some of the other characters you made that you never showed prior

But this is amazing.
