Halloween 2013: Costumes for TrackMaster Thomas & his Friends

Today's Question: What are you people going to be for Halloween?

-Looks like the engines are wearing costumes. I see a pirate, a ghost and a midnight villain. P.S. the YouTube user, JD 41796, OWNS Cody the Lightning Engine. OWNED BY HIM. NOT BY ME.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! -MrEngine88

Thomas & Friends Customs - TrackMaster Wilbert

Thomas & Friends Customs - TrackMaster Wilbert

Behind the scenes:

This is what I use to make my TrackMaster Wilbert
go backwards. It can work on any engines, too! Even
on custom made Thomas & Friends characters! 

How did I couple the trains this way?

By putting a small rubber band, of course!


How to make Wilbert:
                                          Use a spare TOMY/TrackMaster Percy (shown at the left)
                                          and a TOMY/TrackMaster Bill/Ben (shown at the right)

First, use a saw to cut off Percy's cab (Percy's green
cab shown at the right, with the number six) and use
Bill/Ben's boiler (Bill/Ben's yellow boiler is shown at 
the left) to attach to Percy's cab. But make sure the
boiler is the right length, so use a ruler. So the boiler
and the cab can fit on the footplate properly.

Also, glue the middle wheels between those two.
(As shown in this picture above)

                                     
And that's how you make a TOMY/TrackMaster Wilbert.

Thomas & Friends Customs

There are more videos that I made which is the "Thomas & Friends Customs". The "Thomas & Friends Customs" is about many engines, rolling stock and road vehicles (probably stations and destinations) that are custom made which the toy company doesn't make in the Thomas & Friends franchise. Like all the railway series characters Wilbert, Culdee, Mike, the Flying Scotsman, etc.

There are also Halloween specials of the "Thomas & Friends Customs". But it's called the "Thomas & Friends Costumes". It's about the engines wearing the costumes I made by myself. 

MrEngine88's Official Blog + Narrow Gauge Races series

This is the official blog of a YouTube user, MrEngine88! I will post updates and pictures of my future YouTube videos and...other stuff. Make sure to subscribe at my YouTube channel!

PLUS:
To begin with in this blog, I have made videos about the "TrackMaster Narrow Gauge Races'. What are the "TrackMaster Narrow Gauge Races"? It is about a race between the narrow gauge engines who are competing each other and racing around the railway. Just like any other race, it's not about winning. It's about having fun. Races can be adventurous, but there's always trouble on the way!

What made me make those kind of races is when I saw a YouTube user, Percyengine619, make the "Tomy Sodor Races". It focuses on the standard gauge engines like Thomas and his friends on the Island of Sodor. And I was like, "what if there's a race focusing on the narrow gauge engines"? Percyengine619 inspired me to make engine races. So the "TrackMaster Narrow Gauge Races" is a spinoff of Percyengine619's "Tomy Sodor Races". It is also dedicated to him.
