DalaGStanator's Customs, Mods and Experiments

Lastly, we have Peter Sam - my final NG engine in this style. He proved surprisingly hard to paint since I started with two near identical greens that had (nearly) run out, until I mixed a bright green, a dark blue and a white to finish off. He still turned out a little too dark IMO. Unlike either of his filmed models, he has the Giesl ejector instead of the "flower box" funnel he had. Even though he appears to have a firebox in the sixth image, he actually doesn't. The old face mould was worn out and had to be recreated. Yes, I'm aware his left side is uneven compared to the right (when on the chassis). Apart from that, he turned out the best looking of all four.

At some point in the future, these may be recycled and given their own (unpowered) chassis, couplings, coaches and trucks. If successful, they could also be joined by Rheneas and an updated Rusty. To finish off, here's Skarloey next to a TOMY Thomas and a shot based on "Thomas and Skarloey's Big Day Out":
