An Interesting Take & Custom Edward

[Super]

I do like this color of Indian Red HERE

A much more burgundy hue that would look great with the black wheels and boiler plate. But you are right Dr Chris, that there must be a different shade than the 'Candy Red' that this maker used. All the pictures I could find showed trains with different shades of the 'Indian Red'. I am not sure exactly what Awdry envisioned the shade to be but I would like to see him in a bit of a different shade as he looks to much like James to me here. Thats not saying the maker didn't do a good job, quite the opposite, it is a fine custom for sure.
