I've decided to make a thread of my TOMY/TrackMaster engines, regarding the ones that I've modified and customized.
So, to start things off, here's Peter Sam!
The first image is how he was when I got him, the next two show the chassis modifications, and the last two show the window details I added in.
His siderods are the normal ones, except I colored half of them with a sharpie. I also used the sharpie to do the window details.
His middle wheels are from the front wheels of a TM2 chassis, and I cut a bit of the top off to avoid making them stick out more than the rear and front wheels on Peter Sam.
To remove his fake siderods and extend his half axles, I used a nail cutter (I don't have a pair of pliers), and I used a filing tool, to remove the remains of the fake siderods on the shell.
Minor note I forgot: the middle wheels are held by Blu-Tack. I plan to replace it with superglue in the future.

Welcome to Blue Plastic Tracks, BlueKool.
That's the exact same quick method I imagined for the coupling rods. They just need the round bits where the middle (rear driving) wheels are to look like they're fitted to them. Even though they make much smaller rotations at the middle points, it technically gives a better illusion than the "Oliver style" like FfarquharDeveloper's. Looking forward to seeing your other plans.

So sorry I was gone for a while... Had to deal with some high-school stuff.
Anyways, here's some more mods I did, starting with Skarloey!
Skarloey has been given moving siderods (which used to be on Peter Sam), a new nameplate (the original one was chipping off), slight lining updates (same reason as the nameplate), and mouth detail!
Rheneas (with correct paintjob, moving siderods, sharpie details, and new decals)
Peter Sam Updated (New siderods, black running board, mouth detail, and best of all, his Special Funnel!)

Those siderods look marvelous!
In Asia, so mostly Plarail items!

Here's some customs that I plan to do in the future once I get the stuff I need:
Ivo Hugh (using either a TM2 Freddie or a Luke)
Fred (don't know who to use to make him)
The Mines Engine (currently working on; inspired by ADuckProductions)
No. 2/Stanley (currently on hold; using a Fisher-Price "Set Release" Thomas)
Agnes, Lucy, Jemina, and Ruth (using 4 blue narrow gauge coaches)
Beatrice (inspired by ADuckProductions)
Gertrude and Millicent (don't know what coach types to use to make them)
Ada, Jane, and Mabel (most likely using trucks to make them)
Cora (using a van)
On a semi-related note, I also plan to buy Sir Handel and Duke, as they are the only ones out of the seven main narrow gauge engines that I'm missing. I also plan to buy some more narrow gauge rolling stock, and I might throw Victor into my "wanted list" as well.
