Trainboy90's Custom Engine Shed

Now I'm back again, here's more progress on both Rajiv of India and Ashima of India. Like I said, Ashima was made from a spare Plarail C12-50 ( Yes I did get 2 because I like collecting the non Thomas engines as well as they look unique. Rajiv of India was made from a Trackmaster II Emily model because she looked horrible. Her old would fit Rajiv better.


For Ashima, I painted on her buffer beam in the rear dark blue and did her buffers in Sharpie in black (Like in the show). I also recycled the C12-50 Buffer beam for her own and painted it dark blue and added buffers (I also removed the C12-50's lamps on the former Running board that was removed).


For Rajiv, he had the most work done on him. I added the cab panels to him, his face (It looks too big but it's alright, printed from Google Docs), All his lamps (His Lamps on the footplate are made out of minature wooden lighthouses), Strings that are him, and many more. I also gave him a new buffer beam that's made out of Cardboard (Emily's bufferbeam was smoothened with a dremel and colored black with a Sharpie. His Funnel was made out of a large dowel that was cut into the length of his funnel and was painted the colors of the Indian Flag. The Top of his funnel was dowel end colored in bronze with a Bronze Sharpie that I own. The crown on his funnel was 2 little metal Butterflies bundled together. His details were painted with Paint Pens (They were used on his Front Buffer Beam as well). from a local Hobby shop (My mom also gets some of her craft stuff there). His rear buffer beam was painted black. His buffers are whitw with a black circle inside of them.

Also, I used a LOT of Super Glue to hold everything together.
