@Expl_Cookie I also think Awdry may have had ‘two sodors’ in a way, his early books with bright colours, vs when he was older and he made his model railway with realistic colours and more detailed lore. He never made faces for his models and idk if he really ever planned to.
@Expl_Cookie All vehicles have faces in the railway series. Many trucks are either being pushed and their faces are blended in the RWS, not grey like the TVS, so can be hard to see. But they do have faces.
@CoolCar161@tomcoll71721810@SRats1977@starlightfan02 Yeah hi, since im in this now. I heavily disagree with my old stance. Nia's patterns have a beauty to them, but maybe just take her name out the middle, add more patterns in place and shrink them a tick and its more easy on the eyes, literal looks wise.
Kinda like Ashima's looks
@tomcoll71721810 @Sudric_Bob @SRats1977@starlightfan02 Idk if I agree with @C_JuniorsMagic on this one tbh.
Nia’s livery is not random. Her livery was changed because the KUR were a colonial British railway.
