Depends what paints you use also, paints I have ever used never chipped. But for a neater job airbrush it i tend to get the brush hairs onto the model may post my abandoned projects here.

I've had brown spray paint at the ready for some time now. i just never got around to it because i've been really busy this summer.

[ThomasFan247]

I had to apply several coats of paint so the new paint job didn't look translucent, but in the end "Sodor Mail" disappeared

I didn't use the old mail van, beacuse they got a CGI update. I just scratched off the envelopes and painted it brown. No primer. 

[Anthony P2]

that's my plan, to convert a CGI style mail van. I already have 4 classic style mail vans and i don't want to mess them up. all 4 together make up a nice train and i can always leave a mail van at the back of the yard, or something, to make the layout a little more realistic.

[donaldthescottishtwin]

That's good, keep the classic style abuse the awful CGI style.

[thomasj219]

Hhaha it's not really abuse more modification. If i got a New Style Mail van I would repaint it. I can't wait to finally have my trains in the same house as I am. I have 4 classic style mail vans as well.

hey is it possible to transfer a Thomas gearbox and wheels to a Toby chassis

[donaldthescottishtwin]

Anyone know where I can get a reasonable sized layout table, with draws for storage I would like.

[thomasj219]

To my knoweledge you have to build them. My uncle built a nice one for me a few years ago with shelves and all. So you have to buy the wood and do the carpentry.

[ThomasFan247]

You could always buy a coffee table with drawers and build your layout on that

[donaldthescottishtwin]

Well I have decided to build a layout in my grandma's spare room, when empty its pretty big have to go and measure so I can decide what size table I need, I have decided to replicate Knapford as one of the area's everywhere else I'm not sure yet.

your probably all tired of seeing these, but aw-well.



This is a completely new tooling.  Brand new completely different to the first rheneas.

Guess how long It took me to make this!

[PasqualeCS96]

Why did HiT change Rheneas' color? He looks like Duncan now, this would never suit his Grace.

Why did HiT change Rheneas' color?

I was thinking the same thing....
