The beginning of the next Custom... Wonder what it could be???

MuddyPoppins

Nice MacIntosh red siderods!?!?

WoodWheel92

Steam or diesel, what could it be?
I'm kind of hoping on a steam engine myself

Is the chassis from a Salty? It certainly looks like it.

ripley802

Gold paint on the chassis and switch? What can it be? Next clue please. 😃

ROKMAN1445

Maybe a Class 08? Seems to be the right chassis.

I think Diesel, Paxton, 'Arry, and Bert use a C-battery, and they all don't have siderods, so it's not a class 08, unless Super's going to try and fit a Diesel body shell onto a Salty/Spencer chassis! Good luck with that. (It's probably possible.. also please someone help me omfg theres a moth in my room AGAIN ;_____; AND ITS RIGHT ABOVE ME OMG HELP WHY DOESMY COMPUTER NEED TO BE RIGHT UNDER A LIGHT IN MY ROOM)

The earlier versions did use C batteries, but Diesel was updated with the flat drive unit (as seen in the photo). Paxton was only released with the flat type, and the new 'Arry and Bert were the final TrackMaster engines released in the old syle (Ucwepn has both the C and AA versions). However, none of the Class 08 characters were ever released with "real" connecting rods.

And....what will be the accompanying Coaches, Baggage Car and Caboose. The color scheme should be evident now. Still to complete, Lettering and logos on all and black stripping on the coaches. I may also paint the roof of the baggage car to match the others. I didn't paint that one originally because it came that color but next to the ones I did paint it looks out of place as I specially blended the gold.

What could it be???

Very nice Super. Was this all using the Airbrush? Very professional looking. Can't wait to see more. 😃

Super

Thats correct Ripley but I only painted the roofs of the coaches and the roof and chassis of the caboose and I used masking. I love the Airbrush but I haven't got any better than to just spray away but I will never go back to a spray can. Spray cans have far too much heavy pigment in the paint and goes on way too thick for models in my opinion with not control. Airbrushing covers with less paint and adheres very well when used with primer.

What is this train? I don't recognize it. Please give hints or something of that kind. It looks very Potteresque, that's for sure.

Is it the Orient Express?

Aresedale productions

Is it a class 07 or mallard

DalaGStanator

If it were Mallard, it would've had red wheels and/or white/silver rims and normal-coloured siderods.

It's just a guess maybe a different a4 or something

To me that chassis looks suspiciously like the 7100 Yoshitsune one which makes me wonder if you are working on a 'Wild West' type train especially with that style of coach and caboose 🙂
