"Your color's nice, James-- pity about your face though!"
I'm back, and now it's time for a recap from over the past year. Here's a redraw from season 5 I made a couple months ago!

The poor art graphic designer at Mattel when they were tasked to design over 50+ characters for the new diecast range's boxart (They don't have the actual renders so they gonna start from scratch 🥀):
Skarloey Railway No.6 ‘Duncan’ hauling ‘The Vintage’, captured as the service crosses the viaduct before Rheneas.
Decided to throw some audio on some footage I captured on Joe Z’s amazing TR layout when it joined us at our NWM Strasburg show this last weekend ;).
Ex-British #Railways Class 4MT tank engine 42085 seen in Caledonian Railway Company blue livery on the Lakeside & Haverthwaite Railway @lakesiderailway c1975 [pic. unnamed photographer; 'Railway Magazine', January 1976].
If you saw my latest video on how I built Rheneas Viaduct, you'll have seen I had a bit of fun posing a cabless Skarloey like that very early photo of No.1 Talyllyn during construction of the line.
Thanks to the fencepost for hiding the trailing wheels.
"Talyllyn, Dolgoch, Rheneas and I, were built together in England."
"Who," asked Nancy, "are Talyllyn and Dolgoch ?"
"Talyllyn is my twin; Dolgoch is Rheneas."
This is why I love Sam, he doesn't take himself seriously. He is one of the biggest model train youtubers but he doesnt let that get to him, he couldn't care less about what people think of him or if hes "off his rocker" hes having fun doing what he loves and I for one love that.
