      Engine 87546 will it? It would be different if they were exact measurements but they aren’t you have to guesstimate most of them and some were much bigger then the measuring system they had.
      Plus a lot of items were missing out.
      Of course maybe I’m read and using the system wrong.

    2:18 Wow, finally we get to see City of Truro from the front and behind. I knew City of Truro used Markin's smokebox which was later used as scrap set dressing but this is still really satisfying to see after all these years.
    EDIT:
    8:57 While I was always a Take Along guy growing up I did the Grace Race set that Tomy made. I liked using the station and signal box that it came with, both of which I still have. I just grabbed the Tomy version of this station, the level of accuracy in the detail is amazing it feels weird. All the posters and even the way that the shadows line up behind the windows are spot on, Tomy must have been given a copy of this photo for reference.

      The entire CG era to me was a massive missed opportunity. For example took measurements of Midlander on the Talyllyn Railway to make Rusty, yet the CG model was GIGANTIC compared to the actual locomotive, a carryover from limitations of the live action model needing to fit RC, motors, and eye mechanics inside. They also could have made Bill and Ben an actual realistic size.

    • @Sir2Edward
      @Sir2Edward 4 года назад +1

      In season 1, there was an engine named the marklin engine. It was used in season 1, for backround action. It has been seen in shots, pullling goods. However, in season 2 was worked on, there were more engines made, the marklin engine got useless. It eventually got cut up and was used for spare parts. The smokebox door was from marklin.
      Here is my theory, why he isnt a character:
      -he is a product from a australian/german model train brand, "märklin", and not a scratchbuild
      -the brand "märklin" could have sued britt allcroft for using their model on a tv screen.
      -he is a german BR80 0-6-0 Tank engine, telling this is from germany.
      Anyways, some parts were reused for engines like toby, percy, Bill, Ben, Mavis and many other engines. It was also seen like a scrapped engine from season 2-7.
      There are other videos that you can see about the marklin engine

    These photos reveal some interesting details. At 2:18 we can see that City of Truro had a German smokebox door, probably a spare Marklin part. At 8:41 that's an unused interior of a mail coach. Shame they didn't use it, it's a nice set. Curious that the Maron and Crosby station buildings have photos, as neither location appeared in series 3. These photos appear to have been taken during production of the second half of series 3, as Thomas is missing his bunker lining at 0:15.
