Welcome to Workbench Wednesday at Thunder Mesa Studio! This week I'm talking about my collection of On18 locomotives - how they were made, what they were built from, and where the bits and pieces came from to build these unique and funky pieces of motive power.
Thanks for watching!

I'm digging these Workbench Wednesdays.

Looking back, I now realize that No 5, the H. D. Ryman actually runs on a Kato 11-106 mechanism, not a 105 as stated in this video. The two units are extremely similar in size and function. Thanks to Jim Manly for catching the error.

I am so happy to see the rainbow Ridge mine train Porter under construction so far it’s looking great

Fantastic stuff Dave! That little On18 forney bash is so cute it should be classified as a weapon... you'll give folks a heart attack if you aren't careful! Not sure if you've done much in the way of re-motoring locomotives, but there happens to be a convenient re-motoring kit for the old Minitrix 0-6-0 chassis that you've got under those Railway Recollections Porters. It's made by a really great business called Tramfabriek, based out of the UK. I've bought a couple before and the coreless motor really makes a world of difference. Just a thought! Can't wait to see more... keep up the great work!

Al Judy is awesome!

The 4 wheel Kato drive would work for an electric “ mine motor”, either off a trolly wire or a battery unit. Here’s a crazy thought, an On18 articulated steam loco. Great Video and thanks again for sharing your creations and creative “mind with us.

Great Steam Locomotive Models

Nice little locomotives. I also have this infamous MiniTrix from my HOn30 days. I saw on Twitter several Japanese artisans making some 3D printed On18 loco, the compressed air loco from Toma Model Works is tempting (but not in stock 😞).

Nice video Dave

Dave, I made a close copy of your climax and used a HO Bachmann spectrum 0-6-0 saddle tank switcher body and bashed it with the Kato 11-109 and boy it runs so smooth, slow and nice.. What a sweety!. Now ya got me hooked on ON18!. Thanks for these videos! The insparation is priceless!!. Dave too! LOL!

I would love to learn how to build a On18. I love the looks of the ones you made and are making. Big in small package. Loving these new Workbench Wednesdays keep them coming. GOD BLESS 🚂💖🚂💖🚂💖🚂💖

@theangelsmodellingandrailways Год назад

Fascinating Dave, the way gauges can be tweaked and reapplied elsewhere. The locos look superb, your new one based on the Forney looks amazing, look forward to seeing it run when finished. Al Judy builds some astounding looking locos, I can see why you were inspired by him. All the best, keep well. Brian @The Angels

When I do On18, because lets face it, thanks to you it's inevitable... I want to get an HOn30 Shay and On18-ify it

@ThunderMesaStudio Год назад

I want to see that!

@davevan8864 Год назад

How about some basic dimensions of cabs and boilers??? I have a KATO chassis waiting!!! Thx

@earlfreeman93 Год назад

I think the A in Kato is pronounced as an Ah so the name should be pronounced kahtoh. I found your video very informative; I myself have been dreaming building TT / TTn42 layout so I would love to see a tutorial on how you assembly your 0n18 locomotives.

@ramrjamr97 Год назад

If you're wondering on the pronunciation of Kato, see Japanese, when written in Romanji(english letters), is pronounced the same way as a lot of Latin and European languages. A is "aw" like in "All", E is just "eh," think "complex," I is the long "ee," as in Mitsubishi or Nissan, O is just "oh," Ohio, and U is pronounced as You. Again, a lot of European languages are like this. So from this, Kato is pronounced as "Kaw-Tow." Hope this was helpful!

@chemech Год назад

In many parts of Japan, the U is not actually pronounced, but "swallowed" That's how the Matsuda family name became Mazda Sukoshi is pronounce skoshi - Americans sometimes corrupt that to skosh, or skootch. Lots of other examples

@precisioncardmodels Год назад

You need to include a train based on one of Rowland Emett‘s Designs.

@MichaelThornton13 5 месяцев назад

Are you able to add an LED headlight to these chassis ? I definitely want to get into this scale thank you so much for the inspiration!!

@humphrey_bear_MDC Год назад

Are there any videos on how to repair slightly damaged trains or trestles etc?

@ThunderMesaStudio Год назад

Haven't done that yet but it's a good topic

@yellowbird2279 Год назад

On a different topic, I was wondering if you would consider making available for a download the template pattern for the Gruesome gulch passenger train car. I would love to try my hand at making one

What do you do on Toolbox Tuesday?
