April Q&A Open! + Update
Added 2024-04-01 15:11:04 +0000 UTCHappy April all! Be careful out there today, haha
I read all your comments on the previous post, and most of you suggested we alternate the Q&As and the big video progress updates. I think this is a great idea. I don't want to get rid of the Q&As completely because it's a nice way to stay in touch with you all. So, we'll keep the Q&As on months that don't have "event" videos in the works, and then we'll pause them on months when I work on something big again, like Edward's Sodor's Finest.
So, this month we'll have our Q&A session as normal! Post your questions below, 2 max please! And I will spend some time towards the end of this week answering them all.
Ask away!

1. What is the criteria for a character being eligible for Sodor’s Finest? 2. If you had to make a “Sodor’s Un-Finest” for breaking down Thomas’ worst characters, who would be eligible in your mind?

2024-04-07 19:57:29 +0000 UTCThanks, same to you! 1. With Hattons gone, I think my purchasing of models will slow down a bit. I enjoyed buying from them because of their shipping options and how quickly they got stuff out. Rails is a fine service but they are not quick, haha. Rails is pretty much my go-to now. Every now and then I'll order something from Kernow or The Model Centre, but they don't have the stock Rails has. Will definitely not buy models off eBay UK, not with the shipping costs and fees nowadays! 2. 02 is my favorite happy Thomas face, specifically how it's painted in S3-5. 12 is a classic, 09 is my favorite of his mad faces, his original clenched face (14) is great, and I love 11 - it's the perfect "bruh" face. Least favorites are 29, 23, 36, 38, and 27. 27 in particular doesn't even look like a Thomas expression, no wonder they never used it! And 29 always looked kinda "fake" to me, his other smiles looked more genuine.

2024-04-05 16:34:22 +0000 UTC1. I used the 2006 full screen US DVD. Pretty easy to find online! 2. I have a lot of unopened ERTLs, which I'd like to do a video on someday. I also have a lot of wooden trains from my childhood, all in storage at my parents' house!

2024-04-05 16:27:22 +0000 UTCHope the new month finds you well! 1. With Hatton’s closure, how has this affected the way or frequency in which you purchase models? What retailers do you look to now for good deals (besides Rails of Sheffield of course, which everyone now defaults to anyway) 2. What are your top 5 favorite faces for Thomas specifically? And the other way around, 5 least favorite? To make remembering and referencing easy, you can use the faces and respective numbers on my updated face chart (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RYYhBIR9-C7G-R1WKjw_BAAJC2MEAH4O/view?usp=drivesdk) Personally really love 2, 6, 7, 31, and 32, while I’m not too big on some of his unused angry S2 faces and the one tired face they overused in the hit era, and tbh his new wincing face.
