At last, here it is; right on time! (Early even!)
This is an idea I've had as early as September of 2015; after a day visiting the Talyllyn Railway; the Skarloey Railway's real life inspiration. This was especially since that very day I listened to my Mother read aloud the book Four Little Engines, which she had bought from the railway during our visit.
I also wanted to adapt this story since I feel the official TV version didn't do the original justice.
At this time, only Skarloey and three trucks had been announced by Bachmann. Regardless, I decided I wanted to use Bachmann models to adapt it.
As the Bachmann narrow gauge Thomas line expanded, my consideration of actually making this continued. Once Skarloey and the coaches, and the brake van was announced, I decided to go for it as soon as I had the brake van.
This is exactly what I did.
So, after working on this for about a year, here it is!
I hope you enjoy!
Even though it is fully wholesome, I decided to label it as "not for kids" just to see if I could.
Also, I decided to upload at 12 am May 12 UK time; for the anniversary of the Railway Series.
