building a positively ancient sir handel kit from TDoc after it sat for a solid 6 years

OO12 Peter Sam is going to be sick if it works out.

What font was used on S4 narrow gauge locomotive nameplates and number plates? (pls help)

Stunning progress made to my Narrow Gauge locos. Rheneas, Sir Handel, and Duncan have all had their respective colour coats applied, another layer to be done later before moving onto the black paint. These have been such a fun project for me. Bodies by TDoc

Huge shoutout to TDoc Thomas Merchandise TomsProps for these N.G. engines body files that carefully replicate the original small scale props. TDoc Thomas Merchandise TomsProps 御三方のお力添えに感謝します。この4台のボディの3Dデータは実物の小型模型を正確に再現したものです。

Hate to see it. With plastic, it might not happen today. It might not happen tomorrow. But it will happen.

Alright so, a relatively quick comm I took on and did (cause NG) It’s not something you’d think I’d ever do, but the monei speaks lmao: 009 S4-inspired Duncan, using TDoc’s shell on a Percy chassis. This was done for @jacobkmusics on insta. More pics—>

As a kid I loved Peter Sam's square funnel but now I don't really like it. I don't like the giesel injector one either or whatever it's called. The regular funnel is just better imo.

In S4 Rheneas jams a valve gear just above the picnic area and ends up at the old station on the mid sodor. Bro finished the trip to Skarloey terminus, and traversed the entire Mid Sodor Railway including the mountain road to reach MSR old station. What a guy.

Bachmann did a nice job on Sir Handel. That's going to make them a ton of money.

I need someone from the UK or similar non-USA location to help me order a pack of screws from Marklinshop.de spare-parts store. If you can help, please DM me.

Bill and Ben are such nice models man. Just absolutely S tier.
