Rosie the American Engine - Sodor:87

Customs Showcase returns with an interesting addition to the fleet, a character from Thomas and Friends adapted to fit into the world of the original books. This is a project that spanned several months, and even a change in cameras.

This video is part of a project to recreate the world of the Rev. W. Awdry's Railway Series books in HO scale (1:87.1). Each locomotive character from the books, as well as some from the television series and some original creations, is created in model form using the real locomotive they are based on as reference. The vast majority are kitbashed or built from scratch due to most British railway stock only being available in 00 scale (1:76 running on the same track gauge as HO).

Layout scenes filmed at the Texas Northern Model Railroad.

The Rosie faces used in this video will be made available to purchase soon via Shapeways!
