BIG things coming soon!
Hello! I have been a TTTE fan since I was 5 or 6. Recently, the YT algorithm found out I like Thomas, and has recommended me mother else since. I found The Unlucky Tug, Train Boy, and now you. As someone who has decided to make a train table in my man cave, this is an amazing introduction to making my own trains. Thank you so much!
That’s so cool to hear!
Wow, i have the exact same!
@@TankEngineJonJon What size should the E-clips, axles and ball bearings be?
I love TTTE and the unlucky tug too
i was a TTTE fan when i was 2 or 3 years i didnt know what they said but i still understanded them
This was so heartwarming and hilarious to watch 😂. I honestly did NOT expect to get name dropped during this. I can't tell you how happy that makes me. You're such an important figure to have in this community, helping bridge the gap in knowledge that some may not have. I can't wait to see what the future has in store for you.
😀😀
Jon all I can say is, well done. You literally took the humor and seriousness out of this video, which made my day. I love when people explain how they model this, or that. It's just so fascinating, again well done.
The past can set you free brother. Good choice choosing Thomas to look back on and OH MY GOD THE MUSIC FOR THE BACKGROUND MUSIC IS JUST PURE NOSTALGIA
It was a pleasure to have helped and watch the model grow! Can’t wait to see what other models come next :)
fr also what happened to your youtube?
@@Elsbridgeworkshop I don’t want any involvement with the TTTE community anymore. I’ve moved on with my life. I am continuing to model just as I always have. I have intentions to turn my CZcams channel into something just for documentation purposes. I MIGHT continue uploading build logs & build logs only. No more videos will have voice overs or any fancy editing. I’m tired of being harassed by people when all I want to do is live my life now. Comments will remain off on my videos, my community posts will remain up for people who do need to comment & I’ll do my best to respond. I’m just mentally tired of everything. I’m working on bettering myself from the drama caused by my own actions. I’m sorry to disappoint those who enjoyed & supported Wellsworth Workshop. I might return to typical content making in the far future but only time will tell. I thank you for your concern & support towards it. Thank you for reading & anybody else who does.
Out of the all of the Gauge 1 Replicas I've seen on twitter, yours is probably my favorite because it accurately resembles the era of Thomas I grew up with, The HIT Era.
Here's to hoping you make more engines, Jon!
That truly is an outstanding model man, serious well done to you! I hope it gives you many happy hours of running and a big grin on your face!
And thanks so much for the mention at the end! Truly heart-warming to see my name somewhere else on CZcams! And if you ever need any help or someone to throw ideas at, I'm more than happy to throw my hat in the ring. Just send me a message!
Great job, and great video showing off all the effort that goes into these models, keep it up!
...I should really get on with my own model now, shouldn't I?
You’re a legend man. Vids and models like yours are what inspired me to make mine. Honestly could have never done it without you 🤝
@@TankEngineJonJon In the same vein, videos and techniques like yours continue to amaze me with what modern technology can do! Makes my styrene and PVC look a little dated! I can't wait to see what comes off your print bed next!
@@SampullMC yes this gauge 1 Thomas is great you should make yours again a second attempt
@@tongogarandoro62 But with a CGI motion tracker for CGI faces.
20:06 Watching this outro made me tear up…. SO PROUD TO BE IN THIS FANDOM!!!
This is such a great video. My son absolutely loved seeing Thomas brought to life. He has autism and Thomas makes him feel the way you recall feeling including safe. I appreciate you bleeping words your younger audience should not hear. Thank you.
that's so nice to hear. i'm really happy your son (and i hope you as well) enjoyed the video. Side note: I also include cursing in my videos (even bleeped out) because i believes it conveys a level of emotion and comedy i can't without it.
Damn, this looks great. I'd love to see James like this too. Also Seasons 7-12 were my childhood. The music is what brought me back into the fandom, and also the amazing unique style of the models. Glad to see that TTTE brings you joy, as it does with me too.
Soon, my friend…soon
@@TankEngineJonJon what do I need to make him please I want to try
@@thomasthetankenginefan2714 watch the video...
Rememer that he had to cut off Thomas' ASS!
Same here
The fact the Train Boy was the voice a Thomas
it was funny and it got me to smile
The editing and the pace was perfect! The way each section of the script was written and transitioned into one another really kept my attention the whole time. I have a similar story relating to how I got back into Thomas the Tank Engine, and I've actually wanted to make a prop accurate replica for some time as well. It's like this video was made for me 😄 I'm Glad I found your channel man.
Lord, this is legit amazing. Everyday I see so much inspiring stuff from this fandom and I'm so thankful for it. Hope to see the model inspire others dude
The intro pretty much summed up my feelings about the hit era very very well
YES!! A TUTORIAL! I love this video and the way you do things. I started a Thomas gauge 1 project several years ago without finishing it, and now, I'm determined to finish it! Thank you!
The segment talking about how people make mistakes, even with model trains was very well said. As an artist, I can relate to every word that you talked about.
I've watched this video so many times, but I'm always amazed every time. Your model of Thomas is absolutely amazing, and proves that you don't really need to spend thousands on legt Marklin parts....thank you for inspiring me and many others to try modelmaking!!
That intro was beautifully made along with the Thomas model, it could help me in making my own model maybe. You did so well man! 👍🏼😃
Wow Jon, that model is hands down the best fanmade model made by one human being. Incredible job man.
Fantastic video. Thanks for the information and tips. I have a tip for you.... I have found a supplier that supplies 1mm car pinstriping. Bought 1mm and 2mm red for my Gordon replica and they do the size in different colours
You GOTTA tell me where to find it 🤝
@@TankEngineJonJon it's a company here in the UK. About £3/£4 for 50cm but well worth it. Pm me on twitter. Its the same name as this name here but before you do check out and sub to my channel lol
as a die hard Thomas fan i was worried about modeling Thomas because if i do it i want it to be as perfect as possible. and Jon this has given me inspiration to give it a shot. Thank you so much for showing us this masterpeice!!!!!
Hey listen. If you get your Thomas to be perfect on the first go, good on you. But the reality is, you won’t. And that’s okay to tweak and modify after you thought you’ve finished. Just look at my model. This is the 6th Thomas I’ve made and now that I confidently know what I’m doing, I’m glad to lead others on the right path. Do your best on your first model then step back and see how you can improve until you’re satisfied
It looks really good, I’d like to make my own gauge 1 Thomas model from series 8 and try and make it like yours.
One Word. "beautiful"
Awesome video! I love seeing how people create such awesome models. He looks exactly how he did in the hit era! Great work and thanks for making this video!
This part kills me😂😂😂😂😂 Jon: sooo… I had to cut off Thomas’s *A $ $* with a Dremel and print him a new one 9:18
I’m so happy that there is an actual video about building prop replicas. I’ve wanted to make a replica of the big Skarloey
17:47 YO I SEE THAT,I SEE EMILY-
Thank you for this tutorial, I will definitely use this if I want to make a prop replica. Also at the end, I saw a green caterpillar with red stripes.
Hehe. Yea…he exists
I have to give credit man your video has helped me so much to make my model your step by step video is absolutely helpful could do in my opinion more depth on the electrical work cause I'm still having a hard time with that but over all my model is almost ready for the rails ❤ loved the video man you made me laugh
Holy Moly your Thomas is fantastic. Awesome job dude!!!
I loved this, The Thomas And Friends Community is always so heartwarming, I always thought Thomas was real, lol, I will make this once I grow up, you kinda inspired me lol.
Glad to have the opportunity to finally watched your video!
It actually makes me want to do Gauge 1 instead of customising a Bachmann HO thomas.
love seeing Gauge 1 Replicas of Thomas the Tank Engine characters! You're Thomas looks like he was pulled straight out of the model series. Well done Tank Engine JonJon.
Love seeing a process of making a model. I don't have the exact word for it, but there is just this feeling I get when I see the process through until it's completed.
My goodness, well done my friend! It has always been a dream of mine to have a gauge 1 model of Thomas or well.. any of the engines! I don't own a 3D printer or even have the space for one... (Little person with a wheelchair in a very tiny home.) But I'd love to find someone willing to take a commission to make one of these for me one day! Or better yet, maybe I'll end up with the space and equipment needed to make my own!
Wow, how much investment in the small details! I miss this time when we still built miniature models, before computer animation.♥️🥰
GREAT JOB! The model look amazing and it’s cool to see someone enjoy the hit era!
This is the most Accurate and best Gauge 1 Replica of Thomas, the best I have ever seen, really I mean it, congratulations man, awesome work, I do want to make one of my own, you just earned another subscriber
Not much I couldn't cooperate with you, sorry your model is great. And thank you for tagging!20:49
Your model came out fantastic! Looks like a prop taken off the set. I can't stress sanding/wetsanding enough when doing work like this. The prep prior to painting makes all the difference ,I went through hell painting my Strasburg Thomas shell and it took 3 tries to get it right! Very inspirational video 😎🤙
I've seen your model! it's one of a kind and very cool. never seen anyone make the current IRL version of thomas.
@@TankEngineJonJon thank you! I wish I knew about the surface primer stuff prior to painting, I think that would have helped with the painting on my shell better, I just used run of the mill primer. I didn't have the print lines since my shell was resin, but I still sanded/wetsanded it reguardless. Keep up the good work!
I put my Thomas in a microwave.
WHAT THE F...
Who woulda thunk it
start running.
Lock your doors.
ILL PUT YOU IN THE MICROWAVE
That's awesome!
Now i have a better understanding of Thomas model making, and will have easier time making 1st model.
Bust my buffers, it’s fantastic
This was a really enjoyable video. I learnt quite a lot from it too. Particularly with painting and lining.
Wow. Looks amazing! Such a journey! That fact this is a TUTORIAL a is amazing! Great job!
It is finally here the fabled gauge 1 model project video
Really lovely video! Really exciting to see it come together!
I’d have loved a more detailed segment on the RC aspect and building an eye mech but still a fun watch.
Coming soon
I like this, very good model like the other ones that people built
Thank you for including he's a really useful engine from the adventure begins and some of the scenes at the end of the vid 😀
This is truly amazing works of art knowing you take commissions is mind blowing
Looks like the real TV series model. Amazing bro!
Just like everyone in the comments, I appreciate these steps of how to make Thomas and I really respect people like you. I may have a different relationships with communities but in the end Thomas will always be in my heart. I only wish you and the people who inspired you the best.
Also on the page you credit Trainboy yo can see Trainboy's series 2 Percy. That's just heartwarming.
That thomas model is astounding!
The beginning in my opinion was the moment I know that this model was gonna be amazing from how detailed it was yelled it was to just how good the faces looked but what really settled me on this was train boy voicing Thomas
Yooo this video was amazing! It’s nice to see the progress and hard work that goes into a model that’s rarely seen, this vid perfectly demonstrated the heart and soul into the dedication to these model! Glad to help and support you in anyway shape or form bro!
👈😎🤏
I’ve always liked the CGI/HiT models than the classic series models, so seeing this model makes me think it’s the best one
That was very good at this model Gauge 1. You will be putting up on Mattel creation.
Superb job, man! Very well edited and explained and it’s a great video for those who want to get into Thomas modeling! I can’t wait to see what you have for us next and I’m so glad I could help make this little blue dude! 💙✨
Perfection at its finest
That was quite a journey. Im really excited for Emily.
Oooohohohohooooo get ready for Emily!
Fantastic video! I’ve always admired your work and was a pleasure to how you do it!
From what i once heard.... Thomas ( and i suppose any blue engine for that matter ) is a specific shade called "Cerulean" so you could've just grabbed a tin of that, the method you used though is still pretty cool. The more i see people making these T.V accurate replicas, the more i wanna join in the fun, if there's one word i'd use to describe this tutorial... it's inspirational. Fantastic! work dude.
Can you put a link to it?
@@carloso5910official Prepare yourself man.... this is something. 😅 czcams.com/video/OBTSSYkGdho/video.html
What an excellent looking model of Thomas.
Thanks man! Your model video was one of the first vids that I ever saw about gauge 1 modeling and you were a huge inspiration!!
Amazing model! Amazing Thomas Voice Over! Hahah
oh wow i have not seen this introduction in a long long time
seeing this makes me wanna get into modeling some choo-choo's
might make thomas first with pvc sheets
Im happy you joined the fandom, welcome
absolutely glorious
bro i have watched this video like a 1000 times and now i am inspired to make my own gauge 1 thomas i would love to show you it when i am done
I know that voice, Trainboy!
the best thomas replica 10/10 perfect
So accurate!
You did a fantastic job with your Thomas model and somehow made making a model this funny
Can’t wait to see more of what you do
You got back into Thomas about the time I did, it's inspiring to see someone new to 3d printing do so well and it only solidifies my desire to buy one lol.
I'd like to make American locomotives in S scale along with some RWS models.
Looks way better than Drayton matters and also looks fantastic I had my jaw drops the floor
I took this vid as advice to purchase a glass print bed.
Really working well for the blue boy
No Thomas bum being harmed
I love how trainboy is the voice for Thomas
Jon this is amazing. You inspired me for loads of things including this model. Thank you so much. You rock and so does the model. Well done!

This thomas looks so cool
That was a perfect intro! 😂
This is absolutely amazing , love him
thats so cool i love how it looks its just like in the tv shows and the eyes is the best thing i ever seen welldone 10*10
Really Great video
Its, its..... perfect
I attempted to make an O gauge Thomas during my freshman year of high school, because I didn’t see anyone make one before and the Lionel Thomas isn’t accurate to the prop. So that’s what I’m going to try do during my next year. And this video taught be some techniques like the water sanding, paint underneath not fully dry, pin striping on wheel arch. I’m going to make a second version with the techniques you showed in this video to see if I can make a Thomas that Is as good as yours but at a different smaller scale.
I 100% believe in you! HKPorter on twitter has what he calls an “I-Scaled” Thomas that runs on lego track and is fairly close to the size of an O gauge Thomas
Thomas😊😀🚅
This is so cool! Not just the evolution of your Thomases, but the incredible process of making your main gauge 1 Thomas. Bravo👏👏👏 P.S Youv’e got a new subscriber 😉
You certainly did a great job dude.
Well done mate your Thomas looks great!
Thank you much dude! Your Stepney model was a HUGE inspiration for me! For real!!
@@TankEngineJonJon hahaha that makes me happy! stay creative my friend!
@@Stepney21 you as well!
Love it ,like it, cherish it this better be part of the thomas fandom because this has to be the greatest models you've built
Very cool Thomas model i’m making an Oliver model 😊😊
nice editing
Great video Jon loved watching your process on this boy
season 8 9 and 11 are 🐐
nice pants bro👍
Thank you for noticing 😄
Amazing model!
well done on trainboy for that opening gag
The model is really good ngl, and did you know that the older models and the pilot models were made into scrap engines for background details.
It's a masterpiece I want this
Spectacular job man :D you're inspiring me to finally build that Edward I was thinking of doing
When I was a little boy I use to watch Thomas the show was cool.
Thomas looks nice and looks he's ready for work
