I managed to get in my latest batch of auctions. This included 3 more engines, 2 motor swaps, 2 wheel swaps, and a new chassis for Duck (Which was sourced from Plarail Siderods, an old Duck Chassis, White Clam Shell Motor, and some rear wheels I already had. I swapped the front wheels to match the rear ones.

Below there's a close look at the batch.


I decided to swap out the wheels of a Chinese DIesel 10 I have so he looks more like the other models of him from over the years. These were Plarail EF60/EF63 Wheels. The front ones came off of a Troublesome Truck.


Because of Duck's new build chassis which was made from a multitude of parts, this BR08 is given these grey rear wheels which were the only ones I could find.


This is what I did with the D51 motor, after minor modification, it fits perfectly.


I fitted this Thomas motor into a Thomas I have.


Duck's new chassis. It was built by using a old Plarail Duck Chassis, an old Plarail White Clam Shell, Plarail Siderods which were all from the auction, and a set of rear wheels I already had (I swapped out the rear wheels to match his looks.


After so long, I managed to get the regular model of the 2003-2014 style James. I got this one for a decent price and works like a charm. His face is in better condition than my Talking model from 2004 which was in production back in January 2005 (this one was in production in December 2009, almost 5 years later)


I also managed to get the orginial Percy model as well. For his age, he works perfectly fine. I orginially thought he was going to need a motor swap and wheel swap (Also why I got a spare pair of Percy wheels just in case but when I turned him on, he actually worked with no gear slip). He's just scratched up a little but I loved that he works well, unlike my 1992 THomas which I'll have to get working somehow (percyoshiki used a paper clip to fix Thomas's terminals).


Plarail Old Livery E1 Max. This one has the old livery and it is the grey wheel version. There was also a version with the yellow wheels. This one I got is just a little yellow, not much yellow though but still works fairly well.


Want to know what happened to Duck's old chassis, I gave it back to this Close Shave Duck I have as he lost his (?)original(?) chassis.
