It's been a while, but I have some news. I had a birthday recently, and got another Bachmann narrow gauge slate wagon, a Bachmann narrow gauge blue box van, and some Bachmann HO scale Nickel silver straight track.
I also got into painting my models to look more like how I want them to, although I haven't done any full repaints yet. I properly painted Thomas's rear lamp lense red, and painted Annie and Clarabel's door handles and hinges gold, and their buffer housings red (I need to do a few more coats, though). I found out that I have a really steady hand as long as I stay focused and don't get impatient.
