Hey again guys! I thought that now would be a good time for me to share with you what I got for Christmas regarding Bachmann Thomas & Friends.
One product I got is a new Bachmann Toby. My old model burned out many years ago, so it feels good to finally have a new model that runs. You may be able to see that I have started modifying it by painting the hook black and filing in the gap where the front coupling should be in order to make the model even more television series accurate

Another item I got is Bachmann Rheneas. Rheneas is such a lovely little model. He was certainly worth the wait.

Also, when comparing his livery to Bachmann Terence, I noticed that Terence is a lighter shade. Because of this. I wonder if Rusty will be the same shade of orange as Terence.

The third product I got is Bachmann Rosie. Even though there was a lot of controversy with Rosie, the model is very nice. Well crafted and ran smoothly straight out of the box. I also got very lucky as model did not come with wonky eyes.

However, favorite part of the model is the open cab. There is even a molded firebox, just like Rheneas.

The final product that I got is the Resin Engine Shed. This has to be my favorite out of all four products. There is just something so charming about these resin buildings. At the moment, I'm using it as a shed for road vehicles, since I don't currently have anywhere else to put it on my layout. However, at some point in the future, I would like to recreate Boulder Quarry from Season 5, which includes two of these sheds as well as the narrow gauge double engine shed that was mentioned in previous discussions.

Overall, I am very thankful for everything that I got for Christmas this year. Merry Belated Christmas everyone!
