Toby & Henrietta Stage 1

I hate myself a ltitle bit for taking a risk with one of my newest and one of my only Japanese Plarail trains, but I decided last night to make a few changes on my Plarail Toby and Henrietta. I'll do more in the future, but I don't have that steady of a hand, and I'm out of red paint. I also hope to eventually get a face for Henrietta, if a new Wooden Railway release is ever possible.

In case you can't notice them, these are the changes:

Toby's running board has been changed from brown to blue
Toby's funnel has been painted black (with a little off-color cover-up on his roof of the black smudges that I couldn't remove around the edges)
Henrietta's bufferbeam has been changed from black to red

Nice ideas and work Miksolo. I think a face for Henrietta is a fantastic idea.

Amazing interpretation. Would love to see them run!

As soon as I get off my bunker and set up my GoPro, I'll make a video with them!

Bunker? I just redesigned my layout for a more branch line-like appeal. I bet Toby would look great there. Signal box will be done soon

Here's the first run video! This is my third experience with real-life filming, and my first with Go-Pro, so it looks terrible, but it's the best I can do for now! I also made the left part of the layout out of brown track due to missing a female/female piece of blue track

I really like the blue on Toby's running boards, and the red buffer beams are a great contrast to the stock look. On a side note I wanted to get the track crossover bridge but I thought the Thomas trains might hit it I used to have so much trouble with flora's stack always running into bridge girders, but it seems to clear Toby just fine.

Nice work!

Nice video Miksolo

Not bad for a third video!
Use a "movie maker" system-like iMovie-to put together clips.

I use Windows Movie Maker already, but I just recorded this as one clip. There was one other take before this one.
