Description
Now I know I already have designs for Annie and Clarabel, but I figured I needed an RWS-version of them, as I didn't think their TV-series version fitted my Lego Thomas. So now I came up with this, the bogies can be powered through gears and the motor somewhere in the coach. Now I'll try to get the parts to build 2 of those coaches to have Thomas with his complete train

NICE! The colors and proportions are perfect, so you've already nailed it where most annie and clarabel models fail. My only nit-pick is its missing alot of the little paneling and railing detail you see on the illustrations and models, so you can't really tell which windows are meant to be the doors.

Thanks, that's great to know, keeping proportions is one of the most important things with models!
The problem with paneling is how would you build so small recesses at such a scale? Also it's not easy with the limited parts availability, but I'd be happy if you have any suggestions!
Constructive criticism like this is always welcome
The door windows are a little bit higher than the compartment windows, but I might actually be able to add a door handle to the doors

Oh my my this is fantastic! Congratulations to you indeed! I've been trying to get about designing this model, and have made a bit of progress, But I'm not happy with my designs. You are excellent at the very complex stuff and this looks stunning! Great Job!

Thanks! I actually have an old 4 axle version of them which I don't know why I haven't uploaded here yet. If you need any lxf files let me know, you might be able to use some techniques

Haha, your comment about ERTL doesn't sound too nice but I'm glad you took a closer look
Well I'm not very often on here lately, and even more I don't write very much as college is more work than I thought, I don't have time to write many people, but I promise I'll write before Monday (there's a lot going on this week

Nicely done! Wouldn't Clarabel have a bigger guard's compartment?

Thanks! Well, I didn't think about this, but now that you reminded my I'll probably make one. They weren't different in the TV-series and I loosely based those on a variety of coaches so I didn't think about it, shame on me

That's fine! The TV series guard's compartment for Clarabel was somewhat lazy to me, they just sort of covered up the last two windows. It worked I guess, and the coach model itself was alright.
I really like the Railway Series version you have here though!
