I agree with a Plarail version of Lexi. Hmmmm...maybe another tear down

I noticed that the molded on “eye” coupler appeared with the Journey Beyond Sodor engines earlier this year. I guess it simplifies production but I haven’t been able to determine if it degrades performance.

5 Minute Deface....Trackmaster screwed up but after reading this they will probably change so don't tell them.
I was curious to see how much trouble it will be to deface Lexi and in 5 minutes I did this. Face is not glued or screwed in. Remove the cowcatcher and it pops out. Just cut the same size as the back side of the face in some 1.5mm white Polystyrene and used a flat black paint pen and it fits and locked in place with the cow catcher. Easy Peesy. This isn't what the rear front will look like in the custom but I was curious and quite surprised how easy it is. The easiest de-face I have ever done and I have done a few, and it looks pretty good, don't you think....de-face haters place comments now

Very nice Super. I think it is looking very good so far. Can’t wait to see what will be next.

How hard was it to get the cowcatcher off Super?

That's unusual looking track in the video. I presume this is the "universal" track that is used in the Super Station.
I really like that custom bridge, by the way!

On the Oil & Water Tender for Lexi it has N.P.C. R.R. I assume the R.R. is RailRoad but what does the N.P.C. stand for?

North Pacific Coast Railroad, a three foot gauge shortline that operated in Marin and Sonoma counties.
