Gator and Oliver Modifications

HankAmericanEngine

Just a little quick mod on TM 2.0 Gator-- He steams!

And he has black buffers!

As for Oliver, I got a paint that is very close to his own to paint his front wheels.

nice job mate.

HankAmericanEngine

Thanks, Ucwepn.

To be quite honest, I'm still getting used to Oliver having his wheels green.

Super

Love the smoke affect. Can't wait to see them running in a video.

HankAmericanEngine

Thank you, JulianTheTankEngine!

But Are you going to give Oliver a white or perhaps black footplate? BTW, I am getting a new Oliver soon, because my old one's front wheel is not working!

and is there a way to remove the siderods without breaking the tab?

HankAmericanEngine

Howdy Julian!

I'm not too sure about giving him the white footplate just yet, but I have taken it into consideration. To be honest, you can remove the side rods with great ease; you just have to be very careful when you do so.

Oh dear! I'm sorry to hear that about your Oliver with his front wheels; you should try cleaning the axle and then spinning the wheels to see if it works. If it doesn't work, let me know; I've a few tricks that made my troublesome axle work like new again.

JulianTheTankEngine

Hank my friend, the mid tab that holds the rods had broke and i have to glue it back, Very sad. But don't worry because i am going to spend HK$300 on a new oliver!

Trains are beautiful!!!

HankAmericanEngine

Oh dear! That's not good at all! I've never had that happen to my Oliver before. Glad to hear that you'll be getting another one very soon, but $300HK?
