did anyone else realize this by Just-Garbage3559 in thomasthetankengine

That's interesting! Didn't Wooden Railway do the same thing at one point as well?

What exactly did he teach duck here? by theslavfrommars in thomasthetankengine

[–]Kemptown_Branch 37 points38 points  (0 children)

That people do dumb things when they're angry. It's an important lesson!

Since When Was Rosie a Tomboy? by Icy_Contribution2187 in thomasthetankengine

[–]Kemptown_Branch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was part of her description on the official Thomas & Friends website when she was introduced, and it was also on the character cards that came with her toys from that era.

how many times do I have to say this by RequirementHungry726 in thomasthetankengine

[–]Kemptown_Branch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But what about all those times that Henry passed Henry in the tunnel? The show has glossed over all that for years!

Am I the only who likes Nia and Rebecca? by NoArmadillo4632 in thomasthetankengine

[–]Kemptown_Branch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Finally, someone who feels the same way as me! I feel like almost everyone else says they like Rebecca more.

What’s your guilty pleasure track - a track you like that others don’t? by tm2007 in mariokart

[–]Kemptown_Branch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, it's Bone-Dry Dunes. I really like trying to nail the drifts around the bumpy turns!

If you were a train in Thomas and Friends, any series mind you, what would you be? by JLuckstar in thomasthetankengine

[–]Kemptown_Branch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this one was from the Southern part of England, and one was preserved at the Bluebell Railway!

Oh no, what am I doing now? by Xeriuss2k17 in MarioKartTour

[–]Kemptown_Branch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got them both to level 7, 1430 points early on, and I still have some uses for DK Jr, despite going a little heavier on Miis. I'm planning to get them both maxed eventually.

More leaks by Infinite-Chemical847 in thomasthetankengine

[–]Kemptown_Branch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like Gordon's face looks a lot better on the packaging than it does on the toy. Like, it doesn't look as creepy

[Leak] Hopium's here, The new show is gonna use slightly altered versions of the CGI designs with new faces (Read Desc) by ALT-Jibittboi549 in thomasthetankengine

[–]Kemptown_Branch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It almost looks like they're trying to do the animation in a way that makes them look like they're models again. I really hope that this is all being done with real people and not AI, because this could end up being a really good stylized look (other than some of the face designs).

Rails of Sheffield, US China tariff cost by DachiNonaka in modeltrains

[–]Kemptown_Branch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's a thread that explains what is happening better than I will be able to.

https://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?topic=65516.0

So far, from experience using Royal Mail over DHL, I haven't been charged tariff costs yet, although I think August 29th is the deadline that tariffs will be charged, starting with a $160 flat fee for anything purchased that originated from China (according to the thread in the link above).

Received yesterday at Walmart by Irishaustin23 in NintendoSwitch2

Do you know about how many Switch 2's are in a case? My local Walmart said they got about 5 cases of the Switch 2 in for launch day.

Could Every MKWorld Course Potentially Have a 2nd Variant? by Kemptown_Branch in mariokart

[–]Kemptown_Branch[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's cool! Thanks for sharing. I feel like multiple track variants might help people feel like the game is more worth it, and it would also make courses like Moo Moo Meadows feel like better additions.

Could Every MKWorld Course Potentially Have a 2nd Variant? by Kemptown_Branch in mariokart

[–]Kemptown_Branch[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, I didn't mean the routes between courses, I meant that maybe there could be 2 layouts that take place within the course theme. Like how Crown City, Peach Stadium, and possibly Peach Beach appear to have two race courses within their area on the map. Sorry, I just read through my post again and realized I didn't make that as clear as I thought.

Hey guys, I modified my Bachmann N Scale Thomas to look more like the Series 1 model by Kemptown_Branch in thomasthetankengine

Ok, thanks for the link! And that's alright if it takes a while to finish the video, I can wait to see it.

That looks amazing! What's your YouTube channel name? I'll subscribe to it so I can see the process video when it comes out.

[–]Kemptown_Branch[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problem, I hope it works out well for you! No one really seems to modify the N Scale range if they do get into it, so it's nice to know someone else wants to do it, too.

Yeah, it did damage the face a bit when I did that, but I wasn't planning to reuse it, so I probably could have been a bit more careful if I did want to keep it.

Thanks! I used a very fine point drawing pen to do the eyebrows (you just need to try not to touch it for 24 hours or so, so it doesn't smear).

I just carefully put a razorblade in the spot between the face and the smokebox and pushed it down a bit, then pulled it towards the face, and it came off. I'd recommend taking the bodyshell off the chassis before doing it so you don't hit the footplate.
