    Because I'm illiterate, I couldn't read the sign at 0:22. I tried to make my own brakevan and cut off my arm in the process, and I blame you. You are responsible for the damages caused by using these methods.

    I will say this is quite an interesting custom while it does look a little bit off in my opinion concerning the fact that I've seen 3D printed Wooden Railway versions of brake vans. The history behind this brake van is pretty cool and fascinating. Keep up the good work man can't wait to see more customs.

    I feel like the only thing I’m not really a fan of are the letters SR. While you intended it to stand for “Sodor Railway,” I can’t stop mistaking it for the real-life Southern Railway.
    Personally, I believe it would’ve been better to use the letters NW because the main standard-gauge railway is officially called the “North Western Railway.”
    Other than that however, this is a nice custom you’ve made here. Definitely adds variety in rolling stock.

    As usual, we can count on the fans to make amazing custom models, while the official company doesn't even try.
    In my opinion, not enough Thomas merchandise lines have British brake vans, Thomas Wooden Railway being one of them. Yes, they have characters like Toad and the Spiteful Brake Van, but most of the time, they have American cabooses like the Sodor Line Caboose. I've had to make my own custom brake van models, namely from some of Thomas Wooden Railway's competitors. I made the W&L Brake Van from an Orbrium brake van, Bradford and the LMS Brake Van from modified Maxim cabooses, and the BR 20 Ton Brake Van using a 3D printed model from NickTF89 that I ordered from eBay and the chassis of what once was the Dino Fossil Car that came with Oliver's Fossil Freight.

    This would have been a lot easier if you used a TWR Henrietta

      True, but a TWR Henrietta is 25$+ for me. So this was more difficult but more cost effective.
