Splendid Red

Good Morning/Afternoon everyone & Happy New Year to you all! I hope this post finds you all well & I hope the New Year has been treating you all well also! I myself have been going through a lot of changes in my personal life this past month Between starting College very soon, potential job opportunities, & acting as my mother's primary caretaker,  I've found my drive for modeling has become rather..."sporadic" to say the least.

Though, with that said, I did find time to work on a new project that I do have plans on releasing towards the end of this month. As you all know, I did release a "Railway Series" Styled James Model towards the middle of last year, which, at the time I was very happy with. Recently, I've looked back & realized that said model could use an overhaul.

So, I present to you, James the Red Engine (Deluxe Edition)!

Here is a 1st look at the North Western Railway’s #5 Experimental Mogul, James! The model in question features completely new Meshwork, Detailing, & Added Details. Do note that it is still a W.I.P & a few details may appear to be missing.

The follow features planned to be showcased on this model are;

• Post-Rebuilt Condition (Modified L&YR Hughes Class 28 2-6-0 Design)
• Set of 10-15 Faces (Pending!)
• Full Cab Interior Detailing
• Functioning Inside Motion
• Two Tender Stylings (L&YR Aspinall 1800 Gallon & Fowler “Old Standard” 3500 Gallon Tender(s)

Liveries are of course planned & are still in the process of being finalized. So far, the following list of liveries planned are;

• North Western Red
• North Western Red (Blue Lining)
• North Western Lined Black
• N.W. Wartime Black
• L.M.S Goods Black
• British Railways Unlined Black
• L&YR Lined Black

With that all said, I again hope this post finds you all well & I plan to have more updates to share with you within the upcoming week! I'm very excited to get this model finalized & ready to go!
