Description This is my revised model of Thomas. I'll better not show the old version, as it was disproportional, and didn't look realistic. Again here I'd use Big Ben Bricks wheels that are compatible with Lego's tracks.

What are these made with? (As in, if these are made on an online website, which one?)

They are made with a program called LDD (Lego Digital Designer) and later on converted to pov-ray to be rendered with pov-ray. However I don't use Pov-Ray anymore - even though it has high quality it took an awful lot of time for the render, so now I use bluerender to render my models - not as good but much faster and quite a reasonable result.

I've also started to build them in a more realistic program called "real Life" which is much more physical and you can even touch the models with your hands

Hahaha
Well, those are just rendered pictures but I've been looking for suiting faces - somehow I couldn't find any trackmaster models in toy stores recently and don't know which faces would fit size-wise :/
But I've built Thomas and Oliver is on the way, so I'll be looking if I find faces

ScotNick In reply to TheFatPrick [2018-01-29 14:11:37 +0000 UTC]

Oh, they are the rubber tire counterpart for this technic disc, however they are just a substitute for the steam drivers

ScotNick In reply to TheFatPrick [2018-01-31 13:19:36 +0000 UTC]

Yes, it's the same disc doubled, and on the inner disc there's the tire added

There are LOTS of quality engines with Lego out there, just search for Bricktrix or Michael Gale, they have AMAZING models However there aren't many quality Lego Thomas engine out there Well that's why I wanted to change that Β 
Thanks for the support I really appreciate it!!! Maybe I'll add Thomas some time, but the others won't really have a chance

Iv seen some great Lego trains while searching recently, they look interesting to make

These are the best thomas models Iv seen, I'm sure the right advertising would get them noticed, I mentioned your 'Lego.idea' page in a journal :3

Hmm, I'm not sure, currently I'm building the other version of Thomas in real bricks, the one which looks like the real LBSCR E2 engine. I'll only put it on ideas when I've built the model
