Welp, I finally made more rolling stock! Specifically, the utility vans that were sparsely used even during the Classic Series, which is a shame as I think they're neat. Especially that they're the one piece of rolling stock that immediately makes a consist more Classic Series-oriented, in my opinion. These also weren't exactly difficult to make though, once I decided which chassis to use when I started on the Mail Van, the first one I made. Originally, I was split between the Classic Series and HIT Era chassis of the utility vans until I realized that since I was making the Classic Series-oriented ones, I decided the Classic chassis would fit the most. Especially that my headcanon is predominantly Classic Series-based, hence why all rolling stock are purely based on the TVS. Even with my engines being a combination of TVS and RWS, the rolling stock being purely TVS-based is a stylistic choice and will stay as such, with some exceptions like major rolling stock characters like Annie and Clarabel. This also brings me to the elephant in the room, the Mail Van having both Classic and HIT Era-based traits. The main reason why it's even a combination of the two versions of it, it was because of preference. I like both, so why not? Lastly though, definitely the hardest part of this reference sheet was making the signs of the Topham Circus Utility Van. Making the words 'Topham Circus' was extremely difficult to pull off and make them look correct, especially in this scale. I was also going to do the Bandai colors as that's the best reference of the signs too, but ultimately I did both it and how it appears in Season 4 as I prefer to be more accurate while having some creative liberties. Anywhos, that's all for me, enjoy and stay safe!
