Description
So as you are all aware I've been doing this chappie up, and since i'm using him for a college project i thought i'd take a picture of him in a set type scenario, i need to get some proper grass mat and backscene stuffs i know, but considering i'm skint till the end of the months the backscenes are the most i can do for now.anyway, what do you guys think of the set so far? its sort of a mix of dryaw (when i set the second platform up) and a town scene, because town scenes are easier to build when it's not for a remake prokject type thing, also it's on a shelf.

That looks pretty good. Hey is that Thomas body from the old O-4-0 Thomas? It certainly looks well on that chassis

Oh yes I remember seeing that in a hornby Booklet and the wee bridge making Berties journey slightly longer than Thomas'. Ha still got the old 90's booklet from one of my trainsets . I prefer it to the posters you get nowadays.

booklets will always be better than posters, mainly because posters are flimsy as anything and never seem to last as long as the booklets do.

i will do in time, for now i'm happy however, my main conern is to get him moving forwards nicely, its really jittery atm

also just found out the motor is upside down so he is running backwards when it's meant to go forwards
