Sir Topham Hatt has had the builders in....

I'm sure I've got a pile of those stations in my collection. almost every bulk lot I pick up has one in it. ... Chris, if I sent you a pair as close matched as I can get, would you please consider making another?

You really want to pay shipping to UK, then shipping back again? Come on! What you need to do is get some tools and get stuck in. If you've got a pile of them then you've got plenty of material to experiment on. Anyone can do this, it isn't difficult, just take your time planning where each cut needs to be and then double check, then check again and then go for it. I really would encourage you to give it a try.

If you want to make one identical to mine I'd be happy to draw some plans showing where to cut and how to re-assemble. If you really want to spend a bunch of money on shipping, PM me.

This is so funny...Chrisjo you are a good sport!
Your talent and work really is legit!! Though I am truly serious about commissioning one from you, I understand if you feel in bind now w/ your time (now that you've revealed your abilities to us all), and will concede if it will put you at better ease..lol

To tell you the truth Chrisjo, you should actually draw up or photograph how to build it. Not for us, but so in case you ever want to build another but don't remember how. That's one huge mistake I've made while making customs and I still don't take photos during the build.

Thomas First Plarail Set

[Super]

Well that covers the 2 yellow variations. The above being the Tidmouth (green windows & doors) and the other being Ffarquhar. (white windows & doors). To me its strange that these variants come with such basic sets as I would have though that since they are so different than the plentiful red Ffarquhar station they would be part of some larger, special set.

You would think. But the red variant of Ffarquhar station came in a numerous sets. Like the Tomy all aboard set, tomica world big set, Tomy deluxe cranky set etc.

WOW! That almost looks like the Magic Railroad version of Shining Time Station!
