What a unique idea. Nice work and nice imagination Leyland.

I hope it works. I added some details to the box car. The photo image option didn't work for my cell phone.

Is the real graphics suppose to be a PacMan or is it just a coincidence that their Logo looks like one?

it was just a coincident that the logo resembles a Pac man. For more information about the Candian Pacific Logo, pls visit this wiki page

I used a quarter ($0.25 ironically a Canadian quarter). to help me with painting curve. The US quarter is about the same size

Nearly finished with this side! Just doing the 3rd layer of panelling, then I can start filling and sanding.

This Works Unit Coach seems to be turning out excellent. What scale is it for, and will it have the green or the orange/brown livery? If you have no cranes to go with it, you should try and build them as well. It almost looks laser cut due to how perfectly straight it is (then again, it's definitely plasticard). I hope Bachmann will release one if Jerome and Judy will be made. Keep it up.

It's actually Gauge 1! I found some production references of the breakdown train and the coach on the Thomas Wiki, and so I decided to try building the coach. I hope to do the rest of the train as well as Thomas (and maybe Stepney) at some point, although it'll probably take a few years to do. It'll be in the green livery, and those two big windows will be covered as well, I just haven't done it yet. Thanks for the kind comments.

This is the layout created using parts from the Benkei Plarail Set. Apparently the U-turns need a bigger layout due to the adaptor rails and the overall length of those 2, so I managed to place the U turns side by side to test the proportions.

But I think this way is better due to the turnout rails positioning.

They are integrated very nicely into the Layout Vio.
