I've had brown spray paint at the ready for some time now. i just never got around to it because i've been really busy this summer.

I had to apply several coats of paint so the new paint job didn't look translucent, but in the end "Sodor Mail" disappeared :)

I didn't use the old mail van, beacuse they got a CGI update. I just scratched off the envelopes and painted it brown. No primer.  :)

I am always willing to help the best way I can. :)

that's my plan, to convert a CGI style mail van. I already have 4 classic style mail vans and i don't want to mess them up. all 4 together make up a nice train and i can always leave a mail van at the back of the yard, or something, to make the layout a little more realistic.

donaldthescottishtwin

That's good, keep the classic style abuse the awful CGI style.

Hhaha it's not really abuse more modification. If i got a New Style Mail van I would repaint it. I can't wait to finally have my trains in the same house as I am. I have 4 classic style mail vans as well.
All I want is, Stepney, Boco, Harvey.

Anyone know where I can get a reasonable sized layout table, with draws for storage I would like.

thomasj219

To my knoweledge you have to build them. My uncle built a nice one for me a few years ago with shelves and all. So you have to buy the wood and do the carpentry.

You could always buy a coffee table with drawers and build your layout on that :P

donaldthescottishtwin

Well I have decided to build a layout in my grandma's spare room, when empty its pretty big have to go and measure so I can decide what size table I need, I have decided to replicate Knapford as one of the area's everywhere else I'm not sure yet.

your probably all tired of seeing these, but aw-well.



This is a completely new tooling.  Brand new completely different to the first rheneas.

Guess how long It took me to make this!

Why did HiT change Rheneas' color? He looks like Duncan now, this would never suit his Grace.
