How I Built Edward — Porterverse Workbench

Edward looks incredible! I hope your house cwn be sorted soon :(

Glad you manage to make Edward, since model railway stores are really low on 4-4-0s that match Edward (unless you count say the LSWR T9 or the LNER D16 that can work for Edward in model form) Either way glad you manage to make him, I look forward to seeing more.

This model is fresh🔥🔥🔥

I love how very "19th century" you made Edward look, and quite appropriately so, considering his basis was built in 1896 (with 2 built later in 1900). It almost reminds me of how Edward was illustrated in the original William Middleton illustrations of The 3 Railway Engines, but with his upgrated NER style cab like in the IOS book.

Our boi Eddie lets go

Percy too 😮

Eddie's looking great yo

2:55 surprised you didn’t bring up Porter

Awesome 😊

You did an amazing job on Edward 0:23

Let's goooo old iron himself.

Within my personal canon, Edward is a straight K2- no modifications whatsoever. Come to think of it, I’m pretty strict about making sure the engines are 1:1 with their real-world counterparts unless there’s something weird about what Wilbert chose. For example, Henry remains an Atlantic/Pacific hybrid rebuilt into a Black 5-looking engine, but Percy is now a Hudswell Clark 0-4-0 and Thomas is an E2-adjacent one-off built by Brighton Works amalgamating elements of a J50, a Terrier, an E2, and a Jinty for the sake of mending the E2’s poor fuel economy.

Nice

Wonders be wonders

I think Edward as a normal K2 express engine is better seeing Edward with a big boiler and a large face on the smoke box looks bad no offense

5:45 EDDORD

What's next? Percy?

I don’t even wanna know why there’s megaphones coming out of everyone’s cab windows

Day 19 of asking what will become of your old james model

And did you get the AEG push along edward?
