This is the story of how I managed to build the very first Brass gauge 1 Thomas replica. This model took years of hard work, research, and over a year of physical hand work to pull off, but it's finally done! Thank you all for the amazing amount of patience and support all the way through.

(Also a huge HUGE shoutout to Itssebymg for making such a BANGING intro melody. And MASSIVE thanks to XleeHS for suppling a huge amount of track for them LENGTHY tracking shots and the CoolProps Thomas for colour testing!! And one last major “YA-HOO” to MainlandStudios for that juicy overhead shot of the Island of Sodor. The intro’s look wouldn’t have been the same without it! You all sure are a credit to the railway!)
