I didn’t know much of this train at all so thanks for the video as I found it very interesting. Looking at the actual engine, to me, it does look like it was created in someones backyard metal shop. 😁
This brings up a question that would be interesting to discuss…I think the Plarail or Trackmaster Neville would look pretty real if they could have created the space between the boiler and the boiler plate. There are a few other engines that would look cool to me if they could replicate that space. I realize why they don’t want to but Trackmaster already had the workable solution with the release of Ferdinand.
Without discussing why they won’t try this lets discuss some ideas as how they might achieve this visual.
