Easy Thomas props to replicate: Ertl Percy Marklin Br 80 Bean can Lego platform

Went on a hike, got lost some where on a mountain between ballahoo and vicarstown

Played wonders of sodor last night and 3 hours in I’m already going out of bounds to places I shouldn’t

I’m so happy we finally get to see a full killdane station, it’s a shame we didn’t get to see it in the show nor a full glimpse at the full thing in the books

Here’s the end of the line at vicarstown and that off track near ballahoo

Also the view ontop of Henry’s tunnel was nice

@dovetailgames killdane, i need to know what it looks like after all these years

@Modeltrainguy_ @cronthings What Oliver is that?

Years later and plarail still hasn't lost it's touch, every time I see a new track piece that I've never seen before in my life, it just makes me want to switch back over

@DiscussingFish I’m betting they will remove the Mr potato head mimicking slinky being a butt kisser to woody joke

A live-action 'TOY-STORY' remake is reportedly in development at Pixar. Targeting a 2029 release. (Source: wsj.com/business/media…)

@duckbirps Dang, you beat my suggestion by 6 months

@CrypticClay Here’s my Charlie

Not really sure which model to make next, any ideas?

@PercyTSTE @shitpost_2049 Idk, if the guy with the most dominos is eating dominos, I’d have to go with dominos. Plus I like the options they have… chicken Alfredo bread bowl 🤤

@CrypticClay @shitpost_2049 That’s why little Caesar’s is the best

@big_buffers @steam_attack @TomDenham5 I thought jamos was an online username? And Rosie is their real name

What I mean when I say this is that Thomas fans, those from the US largely, are very quick to assume or compare the US and UK consumer market for the franchise almost exclusively. A recent example of this is the assumption that the whole show will be on Netflix everywhere. Many often forget that Thomas made it's way to Australia in 1986 before the US and Canada broadcasted - The ABC remains the longest running broadcaster consistently of the show still releasing it today. By some small fortune, Australian fans were even given the likes of Hornby Thomas direct from the UK back in the day. In a fandom that is immensely dominated by the UK and US collective voice, it would be refreshing to see Australian and New Zealand Thomas fans talk about and share their memories of TV airings, merch findings or even Day Out With Thomas events.

@SudrianRails @CameraThomasKid I’ve heard the Br38 wheels are a different size

There’s a growing chance I might have to make custom wheels for Hybrid Oliver seeing as BR55’s are too small and BR78’s are too big…. Anyone have any better ideas?

@steam_attack @TomDenham5 Covey and jamos are kinda big

@TomDenham5 Here's my crack theory, because DieselD199 left the fandom, there is no longer a "big" australian voice in the fandom and that's why discussion is mainly US and UK focus

I want to spend some more time with my mill and lathe so I decided to open up machining / chassis commissions! I can make just about anything with the machines. I can also cut and reattach Märklin chassis and solder rods. So if you are interested send me a DM please
