Peter, this custom Ivor model is really good, well done, also Ivor deserves more respect😅

This was lovely. Ivor the engine is one of the best shows I’ve ever come across and you’ve made a lovely model, well done sir.

Stunning work. Needs a little Idris to ride on the flatbed behind Ivor. I bet Dai station is checking his watch wondering where Ivor has got too.

Pete You have relapsed into your second childhood LOl. A lovely video indeed, always good to see someone show you how, and very innovative. Even now at 65 I love watching Ivor on KZread. It wax a wonderful series, innocent, no violence, and jow good was the narration by Oliver Postgate. You just need sound now so Ivor can whistle Guide the oh thy great Jehovah.

Great little engine. Thanks for this. Funnily enough I just rediscovered Ivor after nigh on 50 years thanks to KZread, where I also found the black & white first series which I never knew existed. All you need are the Ivor sound effects and a dragon or two and the illusion will be complete. An Ivor layout could be fun.

Excellent, I really enjoyed this. It goes to show what fun can be had by using toy trains that can be picked up from a car boot sale. I did one of these a while ago using the Greendale Rocket toy from Postman Pat.

I love the lvor you made it's so cool

Ivor The Engine was a great little series. I loved to watch it as a very young boy in the very early 1960's. Keep up the good Gauge 1 work. It's a pity that someone like Hornby or Bachmann doesn't make a RTR version of Ivor as I would certainly buy one with a few trucks. I guess Thomas The Tank Engine has cornered the youth market.

Fantastic work Peter! Almost makes me want to get one myself! Gauge 1 far too big for me though. Only improvement for me would have been to cut out and brace a cab area and fit the electrickery in there but you've done a marvellous job. Thanks for posting, very fond memories of watching Ivor when I was at infant school. Would be nice to see something similar in 4mm, not sure if anyone has had a go? Could be a job for a creative person with a 3D printer!!!
