How I Built Edward - Porterverse Workbench

[@levidarling5107]

You built Edward using a 2P just like Awdry did, (but with your own take), Well done, wonderful model.

[@ScorchZaneTrains]

Glad you manage to make Edward, since model railway stores are really low on 4-4-0s that match Edward (unless you count say the LSWR T9 or the LNER D16 that can work for Edward in model form) Either way glad you manage to make him, I look forward to seeing more.

[@graysonsvacsandmowers5426]

I love how very "19th century" you made Edward look, and quite appropriately so, considering his basis was built in 1896 (with 2 built later in 1900). It almost reminds me of how Edward was illustrated in the original William Middleton illustrations of The 3 Railway Engines, but with his upgrated NER style cab like in the IOS book.

Eddie's looking great yo

[@amitysluzara2022]

Edward looks incredible! I hope your house cwn be sorted soon :(

[@EternityKingdomsHeadHoncho]

Within my personal canon, Edward is a straight K2- no modifications whatsoever. Come to think of it, I’m pretty strict about making sure the engines are 1:1 with their real-world counterparts unless there’s something weird about what Wilbert chose. For example, Henry remains an Atlantic/Pacific hybrid rebuilt into a Black 5-looking engine, but Percy is now a Hudswell Clark 0-4-0 and Thomas is an E2-adjacent one-off built by Brighton Works amalgamating elements of a J50, a Terrier, an E2, and a Jinty for the sake of mending the E2’s poor fuel economy.

This model is fresh🔥🔥🔥

Awesome 😊

[@luisthebahianchallenger2007]

I have a question: what kind of articulated locomotive Quesa was based on? Also I didn't know you had X (Twitter) on your channel

[@FirePorterYT]

Kacela is a 2-6-6-2 articulated logging engine :)

What locomotive is Barthelamew based on?

[@ClaytonWeigel-gw2mg]

Fireporter's fictional r46 class

[@Sudriantank743]

Day 19 of asking what will become of your old james model

[@ryleeculla5570]

I think Edward as a normal K2 express engine is better seeing Edward with a big boiler and a large face on the smoke box looks bad no offense

[@BLUEMOUNTEN22]

0:05 but you built daisy

[@johnathonmcjohn3]

what?

[@ThatboyJames05]

is James done tho

[@FirePorterYT]

he’s being redone atm, he might not be done for a good while :)

[@jackthecanadainengine1206]

Can you make James’s pls

[@LondontransporduckL99]

Can you do a vedeo of you trains running please

[@FirePorterYT]

i would love to, but i dont have a full-circuit layout lol :)

[@LondontransporduckL99]

You don't need a circuit you could do a straight run

[@matttheitalianengien]

Yuor house is literaly floodet (only the livingroom) that is not nice

[@Busted_buffers]

If you're modeling a Thomas character it HAS to have a face if it doesn't have a face it's just a cool looking train

[@BrentSudric]

None of Awdry's models had faces, and he still referred to them as characters in a dvd

[@greatnorthern6]

Says who? Modelling the locos with faces is purely personal preference and not a requirement

[@ScorchZaneTrains]

Not every modeller needs to give their locos faces (TTTE or not)

[@johnathonmcjohn3]

awdry has literally made models of his characters and none of them have faces
