What happened to the other sodor engines?

Hi all, I Personally have a a weird love for the pug, the Jintys and the marklin engine and am genuinely curious what happens to them when transitioning into the tv serise. I know the marklin was used mainly In Season 1 and shown scrapped in blue mountain mystery along side being parts across the scrap yards.

But we had seemingly 3 other mainline passanger engines and a whole team of unnamed br black shunters who were never seen again after the franchise transitioned into tv and movie releases.

Thank you all for any help if possible on such a random question about the glub shittos of Thomas lol

Concept beskar’gam

Suy’cuy, vod’e an. Ive been putting together a concept for a costume and can’t figure out if it works as a design. Do you think the design works? Does it need more! Less? Any advice is greatly appreciated, bellow is more context on the basic design.

- context -

This is transgender character for myself as a trans woman so it’s very queer in design but ive tired to keep it subtle aside from the cape to wear during pride parades

Currently it’s mostly a re-coloured suit of live action fem armour with the clone wars style thigh mounted holsters and extra leather straps like the clone wars thigh plate along with the jango fett set’s legs. Her holo shield I’m hoping to make a removable pannel wirh hiding an LED in the whistling birds laubchers to mount the shield, wirhout needing an entire second gauntlet built for it.

I can’t decide if I want my knees to have rockets or not so both are there as optional alternatives?

Included is a really badly designed flight suit wirh leather padding to make it more comfy to wear and show where plates need to be when putting plates on.

her white and gold westar 35’s we can’t decide on weather her pistols should have leather or ivory grips

- most likely none approved item -

The transgender and non-binary flag pauldron and trans cape, I’ll most likely need a plain pauldron as an alternative and have the gender queer flag accessories marked as an ‘modification’ in my application

The mental health markings on my gauntlet, it’s my storey and carrying the scars of mh battle with mental health, showing that ‘the strongest warriors can and will bleed’ to give people hope during troops, I’ll make a plain lower pannel to swap out if it has to be classed as a ‘modification’ as well

Troublesome truck colouring help

Hi all! Currently designing a custom livery inspired by the early 2000’s troublesome truck models by Hornby, sorta taking the base colours and adding more realistic detailing rather than faces on some hand painted dapol kits.

What colour are the roofs on the vented wagons? I want to guess their white or cream but all photos are second hand so are most likely weathered or sun bleached after being out the box for 20-ish years.

Thank you for any help if possible!

P.s. Ive added the edited versions of the troublesome trucks in my livery style to sorta show the full concept so any criticism is more than welcome! This is a fictional south western - near Crewe inspired heritage railway.

What is the triang RN254 actually based on?

Hi all not really the best place to ask, but we recently found an old model I used to own and wanted to incorporate it into my heritage railway themed layout as a donated international engine. But we cannot figure out it’s base

Looking around online tge closest tank engines I can find are DRG shunters and Canadian pacific tank engines, but nothing concrete about what exactly it’s meant to be.

Any help would be greatly appreciated to give this Peice of my long lost railway an actual job to do rather than be an ‘background character’ on the layout.

Thanks for any help in advance!

Did the 327th star corps use ARF troopers?

Hi all, currently this is NOT for a costume but could evolve into one! This is mostly starting a lore question.

Because of the size of the 327th star corps, what would the armour variation be like? We’ve only seen ( as far as I know ) the regular clone armour in revenge of the sith and EA’s battlefront 2 as well as the BARC biker scouts from the order 66 comics.

Ive been seeing art ( assuming fan art ) of units like the paratroopers, engineers and ARF troopers but can’t find any cannon appearance of them? Do they exist and what would they actuslly look like?

Thank you all for any help if possible!

2003 or 2008 arc trooper?

Hi all, currently working on a trans flag themed arc trooper OC to troop in and can’t choose a style? The early 2D arc troopers like the muunalinst 10 as well as the null and alpha class arc troopers, or the 3D arc trooper like hammer, colt, blitz and havoc.

Personally I like the 3D more as I can personalise it as much as I like, but the 2D isnt a design you see much anymore and is seemingly far more rare as we move further and further away from 2005 clone wars content.

( the images are using mandocreator and heavily drawn on using my camera app to fill in what the website won’t, so sorry if it looks janky XD )

Thanks for any help or advice if possible!

Livery question on the class 37

Hi all! So I’ve been looking into class 37 liveries for an art Peice and can’t seem to figure out if there ever was a BR black livery for the class 37, I know locomotives of the era like the class 08 was given a black paint scheme but can’t seem to find anything on it. The closest I’m finding are very dark BR green liveries of the 37 which sparked this all black railway idea but Google is giving mixed results on whether this livery even existed.

Did a BR black livery exist to match with my GWR steam fleet? Or am I gonna be sticking to all BR blue diesels lol. Thank you in advance for any help if possible!
