What did you do to your trains today?

Contrary to what Leyland had said, I really haven't "mastered the art" of hot melt glue faces. After about three attempts to make one for the TM Edward, it doesn't look anything like him. I literally traced over his likeness from the filmed series like I did with George and it's still very far off. Good thing I don't care too much since I intend to restore the TOMY one anyway. Because I never had a 3D printer, I'm undecided between finding a better way to trace over paper cut outs, duplicating existing faces and altering them for other characters or both (though I do want to find a better material to use). This time, I might try and clone his TOMY or Mega Bloks face by creating a mould for it and see if it would help.

The good news: Gordon's face was even slightly easier to revert than James' (which was partially blacked out), and I've been interested in the idea to follow Gordon's proportions for my first scratch built engine: a provisional Henry designed to fit around Spencer's chassis (with green stickers on the wheels). He wouldn't have an oversized tender and his coupling rods would have to be the regular type (so as not to change the front axle), but at least I could finally have him. I shall see if he'll turn out good enough.
