  • This is the story of how I managed to build the very first Brass gauge 1 Thomas replica. This model took years of hard work, research, and over a year of physical hand work to pull off, but it's finally done! Thank you all for the amazing amount of patience and support all the way through.

    (Also a huge HUGE shoutout to Itssebymg for making such a BANGING intro melody. And MASSIVE thanks to XleeHS for suppling a huge amount of track for them LENGTHY tracking shots and the CoolProps Thomas for colour testing!! And one last major “YA-HOO” to MainlandStudios for that juicy overhead shot of the Island of Sodor. The intro’s look wouldn’t have been the same without it! You all sure are a credit to the railway!)

    Hey, I saw your video of how you made the chassis and the whole body made out of brass and that’s really cool for once. That’s what they used in the TV series of Thomas and friends from the beginning. They never actually made them. They literally had to improvise they actually had to try to make mold of the engines before brass was actually used on the models, but seeing how much you had your ultimate goal of making Thomas it’s really good and I like how you had to go through all that to try to make him I want to give a hint to you. You should try to make Stanley rest too, and then make to be part of it too because already one person had already done it and made Stanley come to life. I literally saw in one person‘s RUclips channel and you can go see it. It’s literally so cool. You can actually notice the difference as a used his model to go on the park, where the engines literally go to show off I won’t be clear that you should try to take your time on trying to make every single detail to known that you make the models first so make sure to take your time. It always look through and measure how much you will go through it make sure to write it down on your computer. Never try to leave any marks and make sure everything you have is what you need.🎉👍👌🚂✨⭐️

    Would be cool at some point to make figures of Thomas's driver and fireman and how they're depicted in season 1, all the way back in the first episode. Even though there'd be no real way to pose them in the cab, since the motorized components are inside the cab, would still be cool to just have them for static display next to Thomas or something. Hell, maybe you could do the method of how they put crew members in the narrow gauge engines in the TV show and just split them in half down the middle lol.
