changing the dating system on this thread to year month day for ease of tracking
will go back and retroactively change old posts in the thread to use the updated system
2022/18/12 Update:
i'll make a proper full detailed post at the end of the year since my camera is finally fixed and it'll be easier to transfer photos again
ALL OF MY TOMY CLASS 08s ARE FINALLY DONE
I finished Paxton on Friday the 16th, and Sidney on Sunday the 11th. They had previously already been fully assembled and were just awaiting paint application.
Paxton and Sidney are painted in TS-43 Racing Green and TS-44 Brilliant Blue respectively and other paints are Apple Barrel's Matte Snow White, Jet Black, Yellow, Red Apple, and Country Grey for additional details.
Paxton and Sidney have been on the back burner for a while but I finally have them done and I'm finally happy with them. Shame the bootleg trackmasters made a flat drive Splatter, now all of this is kinda pointless and I just needed to make a Sidney. Oh well, I'm happier with this variation of the tooling, they were a lot of fun to make.
Paxton uses a cast of the Thomas Motorized Paxton's Face (2021), while Sidney uses a cast of the Wooden Railway Seaside Sidney's Face (2016).

Dart:
I do not like how long the official release of the trackmaster dart is and I'm making my own. He's a bit squashed only because I want to be able to actually run him on Plarail layouts and that REQUIRES him to be about under 5.5 cm in height.

Here is a video showing that he can run under TOMY Plarail risers.

You have been busy Ffar. Is this for a TM2 motorized chassis?
RE: FfarquharDeveloper's TrackMaster Customs - Therealblack64YT - 01-04-2023
well if you check older reply's you will see that its a hit James or a tomy James chasis and has done a 3D shell for it that being dart
RE: FfarquharDeveloper's TrackMaster Customs - Super - 01-04-2023
Soooo...yes or no?
RE: FfarquharDeveloper's TrackMaster Customs - Therealblack64YT - 01-04-2023
well no
RE: FfarquharDeveloper's TrackMaster Customs - FfarquharDeveloper - 01-04-2023
No, I stated this in the description of the video but failed to mention it here. It uses a heavily cutdown TOMY Edward chassis. This Edward was from a massive lot I got in 2020 and has been busted for 2 years now, I finally figured out a purpose for it once I started designing the Dart Bodyshell. The wheels you are seeing are from a Hit Toys Rusty as the original Edward wheels (larger ones, not the smaller front bogey wheels) are currently on City of Truro (made out of James).

So ts not motorized even thou in the last image it looks like an on/off switch on the cab roof? Color me confused 😆
RE: FfarquharDeveloper's TrackMaster Customs - Therealblack64YT - 01-04-2023
he said it will be motorised with a tiny battery that will go on the face I think something along those lines.
RE: FfarquharDeveloper's TrackMaster Customs - Donald9Douglas10Oliver11mp - 01-04-2023
I'm guessing it'll be an N size one, as ai don't think any other one would fit.
I'm interested to see the final model as I have never see an actually decent size Dart for Tomy or Trackmaster
