That's a great model. Honestly I think your best bets for a face would be either the Take Along Duke or the Ertl Duke. But I suppose there's no real point in looking for one of them if you have a face in mind. Anyway, love the NG Models you've been doing recently and I can't wait to see more.

IMHO the warping on the model gives it more character and adds to Duke being an older engine who's probably picked up some dents in his time and summarily been repaired.

If you want a more accurate Bachmann Rheneas I recommend using T Doc's 009 Rheneas shell, it's more model series accurate and doesn't have the CGI features, plus with a face and truth be told a already kidna accurate chassis you basically have the perfect Rheneas, I've actually never seen anyone attempt this before so something to think about for sure!

Nice custom dude, and for the yellow-ish face there is a technique that you can do to restore the plastic to its original color. Take a bottle of hydrogen- peroxide 3% solution, put the face in a small container and fill it with the solution. Find a very sunny spot outside and place it there and leave it for a while. Note, you have to wash the face with soap first to clean off any finger oils. It has to be done on a sunny day, mid-day is most effective. You'll have to check it periodically and pop any bubbles that form in it. I hope this helps.

I don't know why, but for some reason, I think Duke might be one of my favorite characters. I honestly don't know why, but it's probably because he's the most interesting out of all the narrow gauge engines. I can only imagine if he was in the HIT era. Although I'm honestly glad he's not in it because his character would have been ruined miserably just like Skarloey and Rheneas. And let's just say; "That would never suit his Grace!"
