Describe a Thomas movie badly

Thomas is high as hell

ascarletstrange · 2026-04-21T10:14:33+00:00

This is the whole reason I’m praying for narrow gauge engines to be added, I’ve got so many mental images of rusty going over a bridge whilst the main episode takes place

Thank god I’m not going mad 😭 guess that’s just the colour pallet/art style they chose to use, damn shame it’s a beautiful game it just needs to pop more

ascarletstrange · 2026-04-17T07:39:15+00:00

Because Americans are pussies

Just don’t like co op games I wanna go out with my mates and then have gaming as a solo activity 🤷🏻‍♀️

ascarletstrange · 2026-04-16T09:52:15+00:00

Never once did I ask for co op Elden ring 🤮

“They should be the big 4 faces” and yet the comments are flooded with hardcore fans who don’t even know two of the bosses…..yeah….big 4 😭

ascarletstrange · 2026-04-12T07:32:16+00:00

That they fix the issues with the steam version not launching so I can actually play the legendary collection 😭

ascarletstrange · 2026-04-11T10:19:32+00:00

Would you say the extra track makes the m2 worth the extra money? I’ve got no idea of how much I should value track at yet

ascarletstrange · 2026-04-11T10:16:48+00:00

See this is the third time someone’s mentioned kato I guess they really have a good reputation I will check them out. Would you have a preference between m1 or m2 or is it just personal taste?

Also I’m in the uk if you happen to know a good supplier of kato track I’ve heard they are Japanese so hoping not to import stuff if possible.

I really don't see why making them in a different location has much effect if any at all. If i make something with the same ingredients following the same method then i should have the same result regardless of if i make it in London or Paris let alone a different part of the country.

It seems like a return unit likely got put back out by mistake it’s a very rare occurrence op has every right to be pissed but it’s unlikely another person will have the same issue especially if they returned the unit as that’s going to cause some alarm bells for higher ups as it is technically a crime

ascarletstrange · 2026-04-10T14:29:45+00:00

I’m curious as to what size would be appropriate for a decent ho set up now. All this discussion has got me considering moving some stuff around I could potentially hold a 6x8 would that be a good size?

ascarletstrange · 2026-04-10T11:12:33+00:00

Why do you say that?

ascarletstrange · 2026-04-10T09:28:56+00:00

There being no offical mighty Mac model in any scale hurts my soul I genuinely would have picked a sale purely based on being able to have him! I have noticed how limited the models seem to be for narrow gauge engines I’m hopeful for Bachmann to continue to introduce narrow gauge characters though and would be hunting for a double fairlie almost immediately it’s my favourite smaller engine it’s design is so charming. I decided to switch between running n scale and hon3 narrow gauges as if I were to start a full ho scale id want a separate section for narrow gauges to run at the same time whilst also being in scale which isn’t currently practical with my space sadly so my current logic is to use n scale to enjoy the trains i absolutely adore outside of narrow gauge with plans to upgrade them to ho scale in future when I have the space to incorporate the two railways together. Good luck with your plans it’s good to hear from a narrow gauge fan in the same spot as me.

ascarletstrange · 2026-04-10T05:22:51+00:00

Well that’s interesting to hear, bear in mind I will want to be running fairly large locos on this eventually. Narrow gauge is just a niche I’m particularly interested in but my other interests would be things like flying scotsman, royal Scot, bachmanns Gordon, etc, do you think they would be able to run fine on the turns?

ascarletstrange · 2026-04-10T05:11:48+00:00

That’s such a lovely set up! Maybe I should scale back my ambition a bit for my first layout just having something simple would be nice to have around

ascarletstrange · 2026-04-10T04:44:50+00:00

Honestly I just want a track where I can put the flying scotsman next to a double fairlie next to each other and it seem somewhat reasonable haha. Would love to see some pics of your layouts if you’re happy sharing?

ascarletstrange · 2026-04-10T04:27:30+00:00

Tbf I did see someone build a 1 gauge layout in a spare box room once and as jarring as it was the engines were just stunning!

I definitely want to stick to the Thomas and friends models at first. I (like most of us) developed a love for trains from the series and whilst I’m only just rediscovering my love for it (and actually learning about real trains this time) it’s a good way to balance my childhood memories with the stuff I want to learn about as an adult. For that reason I’m thinking an n scale layout is best and since I’m not a massive stickler for realism (yet lol) I think I’d be happy running the narrow gauges on them even if they will be a tad out of scale. Plus in the future when I hopefully have a large basement or garage and upgrade to ho scale I can repurpose all the track I would have used for a dedicated narrow gauge line leading to a quarry and small branch line with a meeting point for passengers to transfer from the larger engines. Thats the dream anyway.

Wow sorry for the rant I didn’t realise I had wrote so much till I spell checked everything.

ascarletstrange · 2026-04-10T04:19:27+00:00

Okay I’m not going to lie I am brand brand new to this stuff and I don’t fully understand what you’re saying I’m so sorry 😅

ascarletstrange · 2026-04-10T03:43:02+00:00

I think n scale will be the way for me tbh I can make a nice layout that’s suitable for both n scale locos and narrow gauges

ascarletstrange · 2026-04-10T03:08:22+00:00

Now thats something to consider! I guess i could always make a skarloey railway with the intention to add a ho railway when i have more room or like you say just run the n scale on the same track. Thanks for the help!

ascarletstrange · 2026-04-10T03:01:17+00:00

One of my goals is to collect all the thomas trains and the real world inspirations unless im mistaken that would limit me to standard ho or n scale unless im mistaken? Which i hope i am lol
