Modeler of digital funny trains, LNER J52/2 man, may or may not sometimes remind you that they like non-train stuff (my name isn't actually Max)

"So the first Gresley Pacific design never proceeded beyond the paper stage. For the sake of Gresley's reputation, this is probably just as well, for the curious combination of Ivatt with Churchward was very unlikely to have achieved the outstanding success" - Cecil J. Allen

So much for being definitive; I just remembered I forgot to model his builder's plates, which are located right here on the middle set of splashers:

@MaxMan1245 Happy birthday! And might I say, what a fantastic little collection of stories! You certainly have a knack for mimicking the traditional RWS style. 😜 And if I may ask, pray tell what happened to George after he returned to the Mainland?...

Well, would you look at that, it's my birthday again! And what better way to celebrate than to finally release my first (successful) attempt at writing an RWS-style book to the wider fandom! Happy reading! drive.google.com/drive/folders/…

@Dburch01 @MrPeanut683526 I think I found it in either a Discord server or a Twitter thread like 2 years ago. As for the drawings themselves, I think they come from the "An Illustrated History of LMS Locomotives" series of books

I know pointing out the presence of burgundy(?) amongst the other colors in this illustration is nothing new, but I don't recall ever seeing anyone actually try to visualize what a full "NWR Burgundy" livery would even look like. Anyways, so this is how I think it would look:

@NewspaperBootla tbf, I can't really blame you, because I'm pretty sure this only started becoming common knowledge back when making prop replicas really started to take off back in 2023/24

Guess who has more bullshit to share? From their first appearance in Percy's Promise to their final one in Sir Topham Hatt's Holiday, the 2nd Annie & Clarabel props only ever changed their face ONCE across 24 episodes, and it was this one shot in Thomas and the Special Letter.

And before anyone mentions it, yes, I'm aware of the Take Along character card picture. These faces are about as real as the Percy face from that Diesel Does It Again promo image (by that I mean they didn't physically exist and only exist through these edited images)

(Don't expect these infodumping tweets to become a daily occurrence btw; I just wanted to share this because I genuinely spent an hour today researching whether S3-5 A&C's faces ever changed on-screen in their 7-year existence because I was working on a model of them)

I guess most of the people here don't like to play spot the difference anymore and just want the answer right away, so here's an image that shows said differences.

Idk why I felt compelled to tweet this, but here's a reminder that there are, in fact, several minor visual differences between River Mite and Mike that make him not a 1:1 copy of his R&ER counterpart

Of course, it's not the most mind-blowing concept because it would literally just be Donald with a different nameplate and number, but the fact that Awdry Douglas possibly exists in some form after years of it being said that only Donald was made is crazy

It was obvious that the model they were revealing was always going to be Gordon, and yet they still managed to throw in a curveball because what do you MEAN "Douglas and Gordon" Is there a Douglas model Awdry never finished?? HAS THERE BEEN A DOUGLAS THIS WHOLE TIME???
The Max Man tweet media

"The newly discovered model is of a well-known engine." "An obvious one for Awdry to have a model of." "A name you all know. It starts with a G!" "Please welcome our newest Awdry model: Gordon Highlander!"
