Are you also gonna make Gail the Guard's compartment?

[cudak888]

Wouldn't take more then a $120 LGB loco and another eye mechanism. I've already written the entire trio into the following episodes.

Incidentally, speaking of episodes, ten scripts - including a re-written pilot - have been posted to the Sodor Island Forums. If you are a member, log in and have a look. SiFellaneous section.

I once thought about making a Ernest the Engine car parody, as I got the diesel to. :-)

Will there be auditions for the narrator?

[cudak888]

You wouldn't happen to have an LGB 2076 (Stevie) as well, would you?

Not sure how I will take care of narration - I already have one fellow in mind.

[exveefan]

Sadly I don't sorry. :-(

Never seen one for sale on Australian Ebay in ages..

Oh cool, glad you found a narrator. :-)

I just thought I offer as I have about 20 of the episodes, so I'm familiar with the characters.

Saw one here on the U.S. Fleabay, but it ended at $151. Far too much money for what is essentially a steam loco body on the same chassis Ernest is on. For the record, I got Ernest for $35 off of eBay - rusty and not running. Turned out that the insides were corroded from leaving it outside - polished up the contacts, and he fired back up.

[exveefan]

I think I spent more on my version of Ernest, and was lucky that he run with no problems.

LGB is very expensive.

I look on US Ebay since I'm more likely to find what I want. But not everything ships to Australia, plus there is the shipping costs.

So buying overseas is a bit of a problem.

I know it will be wrong to say, but there are imitation LGB rollingstock, available at cheaper prices.

The company is called Newgida.

[exveefan]

Sorry company is Newqida.

Accidentally spelled it with a G instead of a Q.

Can't wait to see the video.
