DalaGStanator's Customs, Mods and Experiments

Who was I trying to fool here? I should've just said it in the first place. Either way, Mister No is correct (finally someone else other than Supes). I realised that if that short chassis looked right for Duncan, I could easily build the three 0-4-2STs without making them look too distorted. The tank lid and decorative trailing wheels were made using googly eyes in two different sizes. Not having another plastic container for the funnel, I just used a roll of cardboard as an alternative. To achieve the white lining more easily, I used a marker to help fill some of the red parts without overriding the primer. As shown above, the saddle tank is held with a cross shape as opposed to a round boiler.




This is why I'm calling these versions "prototypes": for various reasons (besides the incorrect bufferbeam), I'm not entirely as fond of him. Unlike with Duncan, I didn't design a proper rear plate to keep him in place, making him come off too easily. What I tried using instead eventually became the rear wheel holders. On top of that, it almost never runs well with him on it. Perhaps if I made an extended bufferbeam to overlap the one on the chassis, it would've made him look somewhat better.
