Ah, thats it! Couldn't remember what metal it was off the top of my head.

The paint reminded me of the Northwest Railway Museums NPR 924 that was restored. Different body shapes, but color is very similar. They shot for a particular color of metal rather than the metal itself, given it would.had been difficult to obtain now.

Is that I the US? I see Amtrak stickers yet I see buffers.

Star, Radiant, or general shiny Pokémon.

Or perhaps how you store bulk. I've been trying to organize by regulation mark.

There will absolutely be mods of all the other characters before official DLC is a thing. For PC at least.

(Can't wait for the game myself)

NoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNo...

Fr though, they'll probably re-decal the eyes to have blue in them. Or do as they have and leave them be. They only changed the voice and added decals for the respective year.

Its looks so real that it feels uncanny... and creepy...

Cookie! There are 2 at the museum I work at, 4012 & 4024. I'm using a 44-ton Switcher chassis as a basis. Its riding a little high so I'll be working that out.

The chassis is only slightly wrong, as in, the wheel base is close, but is managable.

As for a hint, a sereis of them were made and shiped internatonaly. they even had the ability to swap out bogies to run on nerrow guage track.

May have started another project. I doubt many will recognize what I'm trying to model. While there are very few good references to use, I have two samples I can source in person!

Guess it right, you get a cookie!

Was able to see the northern lights! Even somewhat with the naked eye!

The Northwest Railway Museum will have space at the Great America Train Show in Puyallup, WA this weekend! Come say hi, learn about the Museum's plans for this year, and perhaps support our efforts by buying a model or signing up to volunteer!

I for one liked Voltorb flip. Managed to get a shiny Abra and Dratini from it.

May they not be struck by lightning, if it gives them superpowers. If not, then let it strike them.

Its likely because of the twin thing ya. I like the idea of class 13 characters, but agree its hard to find a definitive spot for them. Perhaps a container yard.

Regardless, I feel my head cannon Sir. Topham hat would likely convert them to a hybrid of the 08 & 13.

I feel making them a hybrid of the 08/13's would be intriguing. They would likely be more like modernized 08s that can connect, similar to modernized American locomotives. But with a tether rather than remote.

A class 13 modified so they could both separate units, able to work alone.

Well the next time you need a motor housing made, let me know.

Wait, WHAT! That's great! I get a similar use out of the Bill/Ben chassis. I've got a spare Toby Chassis I want to use. Lmk if you need an alt motor housing for that chassis.

What about the USA version of Percy takes a plunge.

Fun detail, that engine is still around!

Nice job adapting a simple design and making it a detailed model. Only so much you can do given the source material, but still, great job! It might go well with my Sandy model.

"Just give me a moment, its cold this morning. My engine doesn't like the cold."

I know its supposed to be him on fire, but the look reminds me of how 2 engines at work can be in cold weather. Exhaust smoke everywhere.

Observation one just feels like me. Trains are the best form of transportation.

Steam locomotive Northern Pacific 924 stopped in North Bend, Washington. Mount Si is visible in the background. Behind her for a little bit of added weight, SVRR 4024 can be seen in an appropriate Halloween orange. Two train crew members are checking oil.

Steam locomotive Northern Pacific 924 thunders up the grade towards Bridge 35, surrounded by heavy foliage. A cloud of white steam cuts through the green trees. A volunteer stoker sits atop the tender, tossing wood down to another stoker.

The crew from the training run, posed in front of Steam locomotive Northern Pacific 924 at the end of the SVRR line, just past the top of Snoqualmie Falls. Steam locomotive operation is much more involved than diesel locomotives and even seasoned volunteers need the opportunity to brush up on their knowledge with equipment that only gets to come out a few times a year.

Did you hear that ghostly wail on the wind?
NP 924 went on a run down the line for some crew training and will next rise again on October 31st for the Snoqualmie Valley Halloween Wine Train!

"You're free to take it if you like"
Scoffed James.
"OH, no. I'm fine sharing the mail. Taking passengers occasionally is a nice change of pace."
Percy teased
James weshed steam at Percy and puffed away.
