In this build video, we motorize a Bandai TECS Sir Handel model with a Bachmann Skarloey chassis, and improve the model's buffer beam detail to hide the gaps used for the original Bandai magnet couplers.
The Bachmann chassis modification now allows the Bandai model to be run as a model railroad locomotive on 9mm gauge track; a size shared by HOn30, HOe, 009, and N-scale. Needless to say, it looks a lot better too!
Enjoy!

Big or small, you'll impress us all! Models. I mean models. Seriously missed these sorts of videos from ya, hoping you do more.

@cudak888 7 лет назад

Should be more, plus a series in store.

@harizon8862 6 лет назад

I do hope Bachmann makes Sir Handel, Peter Sam, Duncan, and Duke. That will complete the Skarloey Railway.

Absolutely brilliant! It looks so good. This video was very well made and informative. I may make one of these one day myself. I'm hoping to become more knowledgeable in customs and Bachmann in general. I'll definitely be using this video for reference in the future!

@LeScarletSinger2 7 лет назад

Falcon? Getting the Motorized Treatment? "That would never suit His Grace." All being dumb aside, this looked like an interesting project. Not one where I'd be totally interested in actually doing it, myself, but seeing someone do it instead.

@cudak888 7 лет назад

Hahaha. Would you believe old Duke is up next? Not sure if I'm going to scratchbuild him or use the Bandai model. The Bandai Duke looks a bit clunky for my tastes, honestly. Sir Handel and Skarloey are the only ones they really seemed to get perfect. Peter Sam's cab roof looks off, Rheneas' cab is too squat, and Duncan's proportions are completely off.

Have you ever considered making a HO/OO Gauge Lady from the ERTL model? I have seen some people do it before and I have given it a go myself but failed miserably. I could have done with a detailed step by step like this well presented video. Either way keep up the good work.

@1981deloreanfan 6 лет назад

Can you do a video for motorizing for duke? You can use the rheneas chassis

@ZackAttackProductions 7 лет назад

Wow! This was incredible cudak888. I'm guessing though that this won't work for some Narrow Gauge engines, such as Rheneas & Rusty :/

@cudak888 7 лет назад

Should be quite easy with Rusty. Rheneas as well (though I'd wait for the Bachmann model). Ironically enough, since the Bachmann model isn't quite the right scale, I'm probably going to motorize the Bandai Skarloey with the same Bachmann chassis.

@Tuckinator15 7 лет назад

Nice to see U back in action (long time watcher, first time commenter) and wonderful custom! Can sir Handel fit in that N-scale shed that was in the video?

@cudak888 7 лет назад

With a bit of fiddling, it'll happen. It's a close match to the engine shed on the Mid Sodor Railway in S4.

@Tuckinator15 7 лет назад

***** I'll say. wonderful work. I just might try this (if I can get the models)

@vegetaswilliams2057 7 лет назад

you should do the rest of the Narrow Gauge Engines and then do a big series just based on a little engines

@Nscaleguy1 7 лет назад

Lovely stuff. Do you plan on adding couplings to sir handel?

@cudak888 7 лет назад

Thank you! Not at all - I want it to look prototypical. I might try running a scale chain on the rear hook, but I'll probably just be asking for trouble. When I use it in the series, I'll probably run a hidden coupler from the chassis to the following truck.

@TomasTrains7 7 лет назад

Excuse me but why are you putting lead in this thing you could get poisoned! Or are lead weights just protected with some kinda coating or is the lead dust not able to get out. Please answer because I'm not sure I wanted to get the Bachman ho scale trains but I read on the back that they had lead in them so I'm really not sure if I should but them or not

@cudak888 7 лет назад

Don't grind it, lick it, or eat it. If you're worried about handling the lead, use gloves and you'll be fine. You need not worry if you are not disassembling the model.

@bandanadeefan_accoutoutofu4365 6 лет назад

So exactly HOW are you going to couple this up to rolling stock? Just curious.

@cudak888 6 лет назад

@ninjacraftb 7 лет назад

hey how would i add a coupling on this

@cudak888 7 лет назад

If you don't mind leaving the buffer beams cut open at the center, I'd epoxy a pair of coupler boxes to the shell.

@vegetaswilliams2057 7 лет назад

how I wish Bachmann or Hornby did stuff like this

@cudak888 7 лет назад

Ah, but they do, and it probably won't be long before Sir Handel is part of the lineup along with Skarloey and Rheneas. I wouldn't be making these from Bandai models if I could have chosen that easy route for this show!

@ThomasandDBZ2010 7 лет назад

Glad to see a new renaissance! By the way, I have a couple of questions. 1. Was this meant to be "TV-Series" Styled? If not, are the Season 4 models S Gauge or O Gauge 2. Do you know if this chassis would fit Peter Sam?

@cudak888 7 лет назад

It's TV-series styled, but the TV series models never quite represented their gauge prototypically. S5 was O-gauge; no idea what S4 was, but it was wider than HO, probably to clear the eye mechanisms. Custom gauge, perhaps?

@ThomasandDBZ2010 7 лет назад

What do you mean by custom gauge?

@LeScarletSinger2 7 лет назад

He probably means Britt Allcroft and her team commissioned a custom scale for use of the Skarloey Railway. And if that is the case, then the models from the Skarloey Railway have no official scale.

@ThomasandDBZ2010 7 лет назад

I don't know. I think the SKR track looked like that it's O Scale.

@cudak888 7 лет назад

I came across this photo a few days ago from S4. I'll bet that the S4 and S5+ models are all O-gauge; the models were simply scaled up in size for S5. Note that S4 models don't really look to be riding on anything that narrow to begin with. ttte.wikia.com/wiki/File:TheThomastheTankEngineMan(Bookmarkdocumentary)24.png

@thomashenryon8707 7 лет назад

Did you get the chassis on it's own? Also how much did the project cost?

@cudak888 7 лет назад

Chassis and assorted parts were $67.20 from Bachmann, with Priority shipping. Add $20-30 for sundries, bits and bobs, plus the $40 to $50 that the Bandai model will run.

@cudak888 7 лет назад

FYI, items ordered were as follows: 1 x Chassis w/Cylinder (HO Narrow Skarloey) (STL01-00J01) = $15.00 1 x Motor (HO Narrow Skarloey) (MOTOR-10139) = $15.00 1 x Wheel Set (HO Narrow Skarloey) (STL01-00H01-00H02) = $12.50 1 x Underframe (HO Narrow Skarloey) (STL01-00E01) = $2.00 1 x Deck w/Bumpers (HO Narrow Skarloey) (STL01-00B01) = $8.50 1 x Rear Wheel (HO Narrow Skarloey) (STL01-00H03) = $4.00
