Description Finally started my Hornby Percy conversion, I cut out the entire saddle tank and replaced it with one taken from my old Hornby Smokey Joe, also replaced his funnel with Smokey Joe's too, used bits of plasticard to fill in the gaps under the saddle tank and to make the smokebox supports, the bunker railings have been cut off to be replaced with ones made from wire and the cylinders and valve gear were taken from a Dapol Prairie Tank Model Kit and cut up to fit on the chassis

I'll get around to painting soon

It's either this or the Bachmann model, I'd stick with.

You can try straightening the running board to make it flat like the later version of the character in the book.

OK. But have to get another Hornby Thomas model to make that.

Cool! I only have a Hornby Thomas model and I have Thomas, Henry, Gordon, James, Percy, Toby, Bill and Ben for Bachmann.

I have the Hornby models of Murdoch and Spencer as well as Bachmann Spencer, so I'm gonna save up for Bachmann Salty, Duck, Donald and Douglas and Henrietta.

WLLNERJ50 In reply to Harry-Topper [2015-10-08 22:13:10 +0000 UTC]

Me too. I don't have Edward, Emily, Duck (Montague), Donald, Douglas, Mavis, Salty, Spencer, and The Express Coaches for Bachmann. Or Oliver and Stepney for Hornby.

Harry-Topper In reply to WLLNERJ50 [2015-10-08 22:16:23 +0000 UTC]

You should save up for them.

WLLNERJ50 In reply to Harry-Topper [2015-10-08 22:22:39 +0000 UTC]

OK I will. How much is the Hornby Morduch model?

Harry-Topper In reply to WLLNERJ50 [2015-10-08 22:33:32 +0000 UTC]

It's discounted, but the last time I checked, it was £90 or something. You can, however, find one on E-Bay.

£90? I don't have that much money and I live in the US!

You could find yourself a Bachmann 9F matching the same version as murdoch does, repaint it and make a face to stick on the smokebox door.

WLLNERJ50 In reply to Harry-Topper [2015-10-09 23:37:42 +0000 UTC]

Hmm... That's not a bad idea. I've seen combineharvester01 repaint it before he left YouTube.

Harry-Topper In reply to WLLNERJ50 [2015-10-13 23:00:24 +0000 UTC]

Yes, but you should get a proffesional to paint the wheels for you, that's what I do.

It's easy.

See that button marked "Send a Note"? Click on it and type in what you want to say and send, then click on "Send".

Your welcome. Now, I want you to try it. And if you get stuck, ask other DA members for help.
