Sorry to burst your bubble, but wouldn't fish need INSULATED vans instead of ventilated vans?

I assume Edward would be likely.  Add some cattle trucks and a brakevan and you have a set!

How about Edward's Cattle train--Edward, 4 or 5 cattle trucks, a brake van, a circle/oval track layout, and Bluebell and calf figures.

I think that set is discontinued.  Since most of the Bachmann sets use the 4-6-0, look up the exploded parts diagram of the LS 4-6-0 on this website.

Another Set idea:

Flying Kipper: Contains Henry and his tender, 4 to 5 Fish Vans (similar in design to Branchline-OO product 38-191A), Brake Van, 18-inch Radius Circle/Oval layout with switches and power pack.

I believe Aristo-Craft has some spare smoke units available in their catalogue.  At the drop-down box at the lower left of the screen, select "Replacement parts."  They are fan-drive.

Let's see...BoCo would be a PRR Q2 class 4-4-6-4---get it?  They both have assymetrical wheel arrangements!

You all have a point---

If the twins were sold together, and one twin broke down, you'd have to buy a duplicate of the other (non-broken) twin as well.

Maybe Bachmann can sell the twins BOTH together and separately...wait, that'd be too expensive...would it?
#27
Maybe they could sell Donald and Douglas together?  Just a thought.

Percy COULD be an SW1500, but what about Duck?  What would he be?

Thomas & Friends / Re: Faces for Thomas Models?
June 24, 2009, 10:05:01 PM
To make expressions, you need still-shots of the faces from the episodes, and use that as a reference for sculpting the face for your engine.  I cannot guarantee accuracy, though, it depends on your sculpting skill.
