I've been filming a lot this week, and have been able to capture these wonderful pictures of Thomas while I'm at it. It's really nice to see him with all the rolling stock on set!!

After 6 months of hard work, I'm delighted to reveal my Gauge 1 Edward and Henry alongside the Wellsworth set. It was so much fun working alongside
@CarnforthJinty
, and I can't thank him and
@Cooldude7208
enough for their help on this project. I hope you all enjoy the results!!

Presenting my interpretation of Big City Engine, reimagined for the TV series.
It was a unique challenge translating an illustrated face into the style of the show. Interesting to see what could have been!

Here is my Gauge 1 Toby and Henrietta. This was a tricky build for me, and I spent a lot of time getting Toby's two-toned planks to look right. Ultimately I couldn't be more proud of the finished model!!

Surprise! I’m very proud to finally reveal my Gauge 1 Gordon model. Like Thomas, he is fully operational with a working chassis, pump driven smoke and an eye mechanism. I can’t thank my friends on here enough for the help on this guy! He’s turned out better than I ever expected.

I've recently finished the sad Henry sculpt, and I thought it would be the perfect time to show him off in his old shape! I love this look for him, and I think it really sells the S1 aesthetic.

Merry Christmas everyone, here is my James the Red Engine replica! I spent a long time getting his red coat as glossy as possible, much to his delight. This is a special reveal to me, as James was my childhood favourite. I think these photos do him justice, don't you?

I have James, and I have tar tankers, so I was obligated to sculpt his shocked face and stage the 'Dirty Objects' crash. I think he'll need more than bootlaces to get out of this predicament!!

Here's the sad James sculpt! I made it in clay, then cast a resin duplicate to paint for the final copy. I love creating faces for James, his expressions are so exaggerated. Hope you all enjoy!

Tonight I'm presenting a new smile for Gordon.
@TomsProps
graciously provided help with this one, and i appreciate his efforts helping me to get it right! I'm delighted with the final product, and moving forward i hope to sculpt this face into a variety of other expressions.

“Be careful Henry, you’re not pulling the Flying Kipper now. Mind you keep on the rails today”
Here’s another pair of faces for Gordon and Henry, again ones I’ve sculpted! I'm happy to now have a few different expressions for these guys; I think they suit nicely.

I didn't quite catch what Henry said, but I think it had something to do with whistles..
I recently finished this frowning Gordon face, and I'm really proud of it. It's actually the first face I've sculpted completely from scratch, and I adore how it looks on the model. Enjoy!

I think I sometimes get overwhelmed with the madness of replica modelling that i forget to have fun with my creations. I took a nice break this evening to give Thomas, fit with a new face from

Hi all, I have something exciting to release. Thanks to the efforts of

Thanks to
@Camden_Justice
, Thomas now has a new smoke unit. It is now synchronised to puff 3x a wheelturn, identical to the original from the show. I'm still waiting on a battery for it so for now it's still running off the controller. More to come soon!

This weekend I’ve been busy testing Gauge 1 sets. I don’t have nearly everything I need, ( in fact only 1 piece of track! ) so the set isn’t as big as I hoped, but thought the footage still looked cool!

@CorzaMoon
I first did a sculpt over a plate with eyes glued in, and made a mould of the rough cast. I then made another cast and smoothed it over before making another mould to pour the final cast. The first image shows the sculpt while the second shows the finishing process.

it must be noted that at present, they only supply the third class / 5 compartment coaches (correct for henrietta + a design used for some of the branch line coaches) but not the first class / 4 compartment coaches correct for annie and clarabel.

These gears mesh with the marklin ones perfectly. There's a whole chart in the description of this listing that gives item numbers for gears of all sizes that mesh with them too.

pointed this out earlier! While we don't know the cause ( although I hypothesise it might be the result of a failed take from 'Percy runs away'..) I can tell you that he was first built with a BR38 tender beam, which was later swapped for one from the br55 tender

I believe she did. I’ve been told she used an unmodified marklin chassis and was the most reliable runner. Therefor she was often used to test sets.
