The hook and loop couplers can be bought separately, and easily added to the front of the locomotive. If you don't have a spare Hornby Thomas face (most don't), you can mold one out of clay. Besides, the face technically is based on some promo art for the franchise. While I agree it is not a face I love, I think, from what it's based on, is decent. Think of it this way, not everyone smiles the same way each time, call this a variation.

This layout does look very promising, the Tunnel does look good, and the Docks sure are busy. Please keep us posted!

Hmm...it would be an interesting idea, I've noticed this myself. Perhaps with some reference photos (can be found on the TTTE Wiki) and some creativity this can be accomplished. Well, you could buy the Knapford kit, and use one roof and two platforms, and then some buildings, possible some custom cardboard ones. (Perhaps basic shape with cardboard, then brick effect with a textured paper of some sort?) Good luck!

That really looks great Shawn! 

He pulls trucks, milk, etc. But the Henrietta idea sounds fine.

Auuuuuuuuuughhhhh....old threads coming back....

My Tender isn't this way, but the front bogie of Spencer's wheels are like that for me. I am trying to lower it so it doesn't keep derailing.

My next episode.

Actually, Thomas uses the exclamation "Cinders and Ashes" quite a bit in the series, perhaps be a bit more specific. And that one is from Blue Mountain Mystery.

"You're a useless blue puffball".

I motorized my turntable...

The Great Discovery. Sorry, wasn't stumped. 

"You were meant to deliver fish, not swim with them."

Nope.  The very weak S14 "Thomas in charge"

"I have forward thinking views"

Still, it was said in The Great Discovery.

I used paint to slightly alter the eyebrows in a more downward position. Worked wonders.

A cow on the line.

"We want a proper engine-not a red monster!"

This is fun!

Tenders and Turntables! 

"Poor engine, I'd like to teach those trucks a lesson" said Thomas.
