For those of you that has seen my Season 1 Truck should know that I'm going to work on two new projects.

Custom made Troublesome Truck(Using a Cargo Car with a face from one of the Wooden Giggling Troublesome Trucks)
1:64th scaled version of John Tanner's Dodge Callenger R/T from Driver San Francisco(Using a Hot Wheels 1970 or 1971 Dodge Challenger R/T)


But I want to ask someone about Tanner's Dodge Challenger from Driver San Francisco.

Should I buy Hot Wheels' 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T or the 1971 version, cuz the Challenger in Driver San Francisco was a 1970 model painted yellow with black racing stripes, a big engine and a black wing?

Photo of Tanner's Challenger:


Photo showing the wing:


You might not have played Driver San Francisco, but you can see how the Dodge Challenger looked like in that game.

I also need to know which Challenger R/T made by Hot Wheels should I buy to make it look like the one from Driver San Francisco? The 1970 version, or the 1971 version?

Here's a project I did back in 2006. It's my very own Season 1 Truck, and yes, I know it's blue instead of black.

Now don't get me wroung, unlike Stepney, I'm not that much of a modeller with Trains. Just with layouts, so I only do projects in rolling stocks that are easy for me.

The next project I'm doing is my own grey Troublesome Truck with a face from one of the Wooden Giggling Troublesome Trucks.

any idea when a picture of duck will be posted?

Don't know, but I hope there will be soon. As for the Ice Cream Wagon, I thought that it was going to be something like a few of those faceless trucks, but I think they should have called this a "Ice Cream Van" instead.

Dear Bachmann

Are you planning on updating your HO Thomas, Percy and James models that you made back in 2002? There not too bad, it's just that the first three HO Thomas models you made have some flaws in them.

You HO Thomas, Percy and James model's has bodies that makes them look like there TV Series looks, but there are a few flaws in the first 3.

HO Thomas' the face isn't very TV Series accurate, which can be the same for your HO Percy and James models.

HO Percy doesn't have any windows at the back of his cab and doesn't have a dummy coupling hook at his back bumper beam.

HO James' Wheels are grey instead of black and the bottom part of James' smoke box is left Red.

Let's not forget that your HO Thomas, Percy and James models are all missing front couplings.

I apologize for bashing you or anything, it's just that I think your Large Scale versions of Thomas, Percy and James look better then your HO ones. Here are some differences between Thomas, Percy and James in your HO scale models and your Large Scale ones.

HO Thomas:


Large Scale Thomas:


HO Percy:


Large Scale Percy:


HO James:

I don't know if this can be call a request, I would like to see a big update on your HO Thomas, Percy and James models.

Yours truly, GTPS2

Here's a photo of my model railway.

And here's a sketch of how it will look like when me and my Dad make it bigger.

Dude, I like the design, but How big is the board? In order to fit all the curves and things you have planned, you be looking at 5-6 feet wide by 10-11 feet long....

   It looks great! but there just might not be enough space for it all.

I can try to make some space. Me and my Dad just need to clean the whole basement, and get rid of some old stuff from that room.

Nice layout you have there! The sketch is pretty nice too. Going for a RWS approach to Sodor?

Nope, just going for a TV Series approach as I'm gonna be doing the Watermill from Season 2.

Maybe he's rich. I'd sure like to build the entire island(in RWS form), and when I'm older and have the cash and space I will.

Even so, this layout would be large.

Here is a hint:

Some of the most succesful things in life are the smallest

Ya, well the last layout I had was very small. Like It only had a shed, a station, a crossing, and a tunnel.

Pretty much everything not within 2 ft of any track

What do you mean everything?

I find this plan improbable... You need dimensions, realisticly numbered turnouts, and cut out all the filler space and replace it with aisle space...

Filler space? You mean the blue parts? If so, then that was meant to be water.

Heres a much better drawing of how my layout should look like.

Er.

Wow. Good luck?

How big is this in feet, do you even have an idea? It seems rather strange. I hate that "Death Buster Lab Tower" thing too. The Skarloey Railway sheds are unreal too. Do you even know a thing about the show?


Which show? You mean the Thomas series? If so, then I do know a thing about it. The layout will have Mix Thomas engines from Bachmann and Hornby. And Trackmaster will be use for The Skarloey railway.

Expected Date:___/____/____

Nice project, do you have any guidlines, or any expected date?

Well, I'm building a HO model railway layout next year, and Casey Jr. might be done before the movie.
