MrKirby48 They didn’t bother to have a consistent red paint for James. James bodywork is painted as it should be but the running board is in a darker red…
Destination Realization MrKirby48 It’s because the fakes have lost a lot of quality since November of last year when they started rolling out phase 5 of bootlegs
TheD.FusitTankerMan12 Yeah I’ve noticed that, i compared that James to my bootleg Donald and Douglas which still have the licensing info. I think it has to be another factory starting to produce these engines.
Destination Realization TheD.FusitTankerMan12 it’s the same one, it’s just that they are now cheaping out more on these engines
TheD.FusitTankerMan12 I’m thinking of making a video on this topic and i did film a possible intro for the video.
Destination Realization TheD.FusitTankerMan12 a lot of engines now reuse the James footplate, Edward has had this change since 2020 and now the narrow gage engines use the same footplate
TheD.FusitTankerMan12 Destination Realization I’ve already heard of this information, as this isn’t really new to me, but I know how cursed those redesigns are.
TheD.FusitTankerMan12 Sorry for the lack of updates but I’m trying to write down a simple script for this vid. Anyways, I might reshoot the test footage with better lighting and a grass mat.
TheD.FusitTankerMan12 I forgot to mention the fake James is a lot faster than the real one i guess? To be honest, I think the newer fake engines now use a more powerful motor than the ones used in the genuine trains.
TheD.FusitTankerMan12 Man, I have been so busy lately with my vocational school assignments and stuff that I’m forgetting about this thing. At the moment, I’m looking at some grass mats at my local stores or on Amazon.
TheD.FusitTankerMan12 Wow, 2 months have gone past and I cannot find any good small grass mats. I have been very busy doing my assignments.
