  • This is the story of how I managed to build the very first Brass gauge 1 Thomas replica. This model took years of hard work, research, and over a year of physical hand work to pull off, but it's finally done! Thank you all for the amazing amount of patience and support all the way through.

    (Also a huge HUGE shoutout to Itssebymg for making such a BANGING intro melody. And MASSIVE thanks to XleeHS for suppling a huge amount of track for them LENGTHY tracking shots and the CoolProps Thomas for colour testing!! And one last major “YA-HOO” to MainlandStudios for that juicy overhead shot of the Island of Sodor. The intro’s look wouldn’t have been the same without it! You all sure are a credit to the railway!)

    Would be cool at some point to make figures of Thomas's driver and fireman and how they're depicted in season 1, all the way back in the first episode. Even though there'd be no real way to pose them in the cab, since the motorized components are inside the cab, would still be cool to just have them for static display next to Thomas or something. Hell, maybe you could do the method of how they put crew members in the narrow gauge engines in the TV show and just split them in half down the middle lol.
