I’ll be taking what parts I need from an old Dapol 14xx, as it’s the same tooling, and likely repainting the green due to sun damage but it’ll still need a face.

Hoping that someone might have a spare or know where I can source an alternative eg 3d print…

Is there anywhere to buy British building kits? Or is there something I can do to old European buildings to make them look correct?

Kinda glad I didn’t do that (despite already trimming off the edge of the nose). It was better to cut out the face entirely, which meant more creative freedom on the back of the loco, and also I have a new face!

Thomas was a borrowed model that I used at an exhibition. He was an Ertl body on a Pola-Maxi chassis.

Some people think Percy’s based on ‘Trojan’ or another Avonside saddle tank right?

This was for the last diorama challenge set by the Talyllyn Railway, but due to other commitments for a video project, I never really did finish off my diorama.

Perhaps with this new group I’ll have the motivation to complete this in my spare time. We shall see.

Hiya!

Welcome to the group! I figured It was a matter of time until someone started a group on the subject, so why not start one now?

I understand that some modellers would turn their nose up at something like Thomas or anything connected to him. But I feel like we live in a time where that interest is slowly starting to become…
