New Years Resolutions Related To Trains?

I am not one to make resolutions but I thought this an interesting question for our community of like minded train enthusiasts individuals. Below are a few of mine. How about you? Doesn't have to be a resolution by definition but maybe just some things you want to do.

* Get busy on making all the videos with the themes I have in mind for our trains and layout. Plus I need to redo the "All Steamed Up" video without the copywrote music so more can view it from all country's.

* Disassemble our entire layout because I no longer enjoy sitting on the floor playing with the trains and the viewing angles, looking down, isn't much fun. Plus I need to vacuum

* Create a new layout, albeit smaller, on tables similar to what Ucwepn has done. Viewing angles will be better plus it will be nice to be able to sit in a chair next to the table. Filming will be much easier too.

* Get busy on all the Custom Mods I have in mind and finish the ones I have started.

Hey guys!

My New Years resolutions would have to be:
1. Getting some of the Plarail Thomas trains, as I do not own any.
2. Create custom faces for each of those plarail trains (found out that PowerfulGordonMike uses high impact plastic). I will probably go to some plastics place near me and ask for their help.
3. Get a "Mr. Motorman" from HobbySearch to remote control the trains.
4. Hopefully find a tomy knapford station I can buy.
5. Make plans for my Tomy remakes of the original "Thomas and Friends Television Series" (Set designs, etc)
6. Maybe find a Tomy Bill & Ben and Tomy Donald & Douglas if I can find them.

Happy New Year everyone!

My main one is to try some customs by repainting and detailing some spare engines. I'm in the process of obtaining an airbrush kit (mainly for my other current hobby 1/16th scale RC Tanks) which should help dramatically. I've already got a few ideas so watch this space

I will be taking down my Christmas display and setting up a new display. Also would like to do some more customs. I need to try and track down the boiler doors that are used for defacing and would also like to find something better to use for the Windows on coaches.

Mine are:
1: Clean up my floor
2: Dissasemble layout
3: Reassemble diferrent layout
4: Make more reviews
5: Make more Thomas And Friends mini series videos
6: Recieve more packages of used Tomy thomas
7: Invest in tomica thomas trains (the ones with couplings)
Numbers 4, 5, and 7 are somewhat done. Ordered a Tomica Henry and Red coaches last night off of eBay.

What do you normally use for windows on coaches?

I actually have found that using some clear plastic and then simple "matte" scotch tape has worked somewhat well for the few I have done. I converted some "faceless" Annie/clarabel coaches and painted them. I used this technique on them and it turned out pretty good to me. I will try and get some pictures and post them in a thread.

New Year "want 'em/need 'em" to do resolutions for 2016
1. HitToys Arry
2. HitToys Petersam
3. Plarail Emily big box set
4. Plarail Molly
5. Tomy TnA Christmas set
6. Tomy B20
7. Tomy Transformer trains
8. D51 Sound and Steam train
9. Ringing Thomas,Percy,& James in Tekaro
10. Mr. Motoman units
11. Current Revolutions
12. Fixes & repairs

For me, all I really have is:
1) Clean up floor
2) Shuffle furniture around to make space for displaying trains
3) Sell other trains and things to get more trains
4) Catch all the Poke'm-uh I mean, collect more of the Trackmaster/Tomy trains. I wish I'd started collecting sooner.
And probably 5) To make a layout for them, or just a proper layout in general. Even just a short display thing would be cool.

One step at a time!

I can easily help you with your layout. If you would need help.
