you'd be better off going with 4x5 or 4x6. what you want to do is not possible in 4x4 unless you use 15r curves. I don't recommend the use of curves sharper than 18r, so the added foot of a 4x5 will allow you to maintain this minimum radius.

I would've said 4x8.

I voted for Henry (as he is the next engine that I'll buy) but Percy would be more likely.

that's a really nice job! I've never seen anyone else do the cable before!

I'd love to see some small sheds, Or any other small structure, I'm using a resin model of a Police box (whovian) as an example, and some smaller building would be great, such as a coal bin, a trackside shed (I think there's one on Gordon's hill), simple platforms, a footbridge, a helepad, or a small Quonset hut (Nissen hut to others)

For stations, Wellsworth is my pick

As for Henry's tunnel, I dunno, the reason why there aren't any premakes tunnels is because they don't look like actual hills, more like steep bumps, if they made tunnel PORTALS that would be more understandable, but for a toy range it would be odd

or they can try it on the flatcar! But in all seriousness, It would be nice to have one of those china clay trucks, but since they haven't been seen in ages, that would be unlikely, maybe it can be an open wagon with a CGI face

personally, I think that the resin buildings will dominate the 2015 season, there are unlimited possibilities with this, they could even dare I say sell the sides of Knapford, but that would be a tad ambitious, Wellsworth could be a good Candidate, but that would require two buildings to be made, as for engines, I do agree about Paxton, he's popular with both kids and adults, and he would be the most economical, I think he would be a good addition, as for G, I dunno if they'll even do an engine this time, but if they did, I feel like they would do either Diesel, Mavis, or Edward.

So we've put up the first bits of benchwork, and now moving on to reprinting the backdrop (it had too dark a blue) so now we move on to the [dun dun dun!] MOVING THE CLUTTER!

That would make sense, maybe some sets such as Skarloey and the coaches and Rheneas and the trucks

No offense, but I feel like a majority are biting the hand that feeds them...  

Its always MORE MORE MORE when it comes to new stuff.  We've got engines #1-10 with James receiving new paint next year...  I don't understand it...  Be thankful for what you've got.   They are being smart about production tactics by making twins.  

I agree, we should be glad with what we got, and it could be worse, they could start discontinueing models, and I think that the new james will be great, the face doesn't need improving ( it's fine as it is), and we're probably gonna get more new buildings for the next few seasons,

And...

HO
Stepney or Paxton ( if any engines at all
Truck 5
Wellsworth, Ffarquarr

G
Edward or Mavis
Cattle truck/TT3

I myself would like to know because that would simplify operation on a layout.

What about the Santa Fe & Milwakee 4-4-2's or the Y6 to go along with the J class, maybe even a New York  Central H10a Mikado.

I'm getting a start on the old coaches and I'm wondering, does anyone have any tips on how to paint them? ??? (Like the little areas around the windows, for example.)
