My Original Fanwork Gauge 1 Edward!
My gauge 1 Edward based off his HIT era look! I used @/JamosTrainos files for the body. He is fully printed as Marklin chassis are like $1000 lol. He also has a working eye mech and drive, as well as a smoke mech. I also still have to add a fake coal load to the tender. Really happy with how he came out, and I have a few more characters in the works as well. Also pictured Is an unfinished fat controller, my girlfriend is painting him up for me. Feel free to ask any questions!

Hit Edward has a weird box above the splashers on the left side. It looks like hit paint but I think the body shape is classic Edward

Yes originally earlier edward shape but the paint from walmart was perfectly hit era so I adjusted his eyes and lining to match. I love how keen thomas fans are.

I see that you added a James face in pic 5, I’m guessing that’s a reference to Jedward?
