    Let’s all take a moment to be grateful that no matter how misused Skarloey was in the tv series, at least he wasn’t banished to the Shadown Realm like Sir Handel.

    Having spent an ungodly amount of time staring at Skarloey's models to build my own I can attest to the accuracy of this video. One thing you missed however was on his closeup model, he originally only had brass rings on the back windows, on the inside. Later, likely during a refurbishment of the model, they were mistakenly placed on the front windows on the outside.

    2:48 one such on-screen example is when he's running past Crovan's Gate in 'Home at Last.' One time, imo, where this deformity breathed life into these models.

    Cause in the books the engines of the skarloey railway were painted in a single matching colour to show they all worked on the same railway. For the TV series keeping in mind that toys now had to be accounted for britt and team knew a group of engines all the same colour wouldn't sell well not to mention it would make them harder to tell apart. So someone made the genius decision of having them all be a different colour. Skarloey in red , rheneas in orange, sir handle and Peter Sam keeping their mid-sodor colours etc.

  • @tdoc2874
    @tdoc2874 Před 2 lety

    None of the Narrow Gauge engines used the Wantage Tramway wheels as stated in this video.
    All steam locomotives used Manning Wardle Wheels. Duncan used the 2'8" version of the Manning Wardle wheel.
    All steam locomotives had the secondary crank pin hole cut off on the Manning Wardle wheel with the exception of Sir Handel.
    The reason this was done was to prevent jamming of the rods on the second crank pin boss as the wheels rotated. On Sir Handel this was not necessary because of the custom wheel rims that were capped over top of the original wheel rims increasing the width of the tire.
    Skarloey's buffers are Slaters Part Number 7906.
    Trailing wheel is part number 7832HR.

    I have spent plenty of time doing the reverse, taking Bachmann's Skarloey and reverse bashing it back in Talyllyn. There is a whole cottage industry of 3D printed parts and decals that exist just to do it. It does highlight though two of the big differences between Skarloey's TV models and Talyllyn, one being Skarloey has coal in his right side bunker and two the lack of grab irons on the boiler. Other than that though... honestly I can say it makes a great basis to make an OO9 Talyllyn with and the mechanism is pretty solid. I just had to drill out some space to fit it with a DCC decoder and its been pretty good so far, its only issue being it stalls on dirty rail spots.
