A ghost and the iron giant:

The only reason he exists is that I had the parts to make him and because its funny. Anyway Timothy (the ghost train, not the oil burning engine) was made out of a thomas with several mods. I decided to fully E2-ify him to make him different to thomas. I also have carved wrinkles into the face to make more accurate to the elderly thomas face, which was a joke face based on David mittons face made by the modelling crew of magic railroad (fun fact for thoses unaware). Not much else to say.

My interpretation of the ghost engine from Halloween, this is my favourite custom I've been making recently, but also the most dangerous (2 injuries is the most I've had while working on it so far, only tied with the first version of the little blue engine) Anyway, it's made out of several Gordon parts, with a tender from a talking james, which I used specifically because its bigger than the standard tomy/trackmaster tender. This is the first time I've used a dremel for a custom and it helped a lot making the holes in the boiler, hollowing out the smokebox and shaping the face. (I'm not showing it here as its scary more so in a gorey sense than a spooky one.) I used cotton buds as boiler tubes and miliput was used heavily in sculpting the firebox. Very happy with this one so far.
