Its likely because of the twin thing ya. I like the idea of class 13 characters, but agree its hard to find a definitive spot for them. Perhaps a container yard.
Regardless, I feel my head cannon Sir. Topham hat would likely convert them to a hybrid of the 08 & 13.

I feel making them a hybrid of the 08/13's would be intriguing. They would likely be more like modernized 08s that can connect, similar to modernized American locomotives. But with a tether rather than remote.
A class 13 modified so they could both separate units, able to work alone.

Well the next time you need a motor housing made, let me know.

Wait, WHAT! That's great! I get a similar use out of the Bill/Ben chassis. I've got a spare Toby Chassis I want to use. Lmk if you need an alt motor housing for that chassis.

What about the USA version of Percy takes a plunge.
Fun detail, that engine is still around!

Nice job adapting a simple design and making it a detailed model. Only so much you can do given the source material, but still, great job! It might go well with my Sandy model.

"Just give me a moment, its cold this morning. My engine doesn't like the cold."
I know its supposed to be him on fire, but the look reminds me of how 2 engines at work can be in cold weather. Exhaust smoke everywhere.

Observation one just feels like me. Trains are the best form of transportation.

"You're free to take it if you like"
Scoffed James.
"OH, no. I'm fine sharing the mail. Taking passengers occasionally is a nice change of pace."
Percy teased
James weshed steam at Percy and puffed away.

I also enjoy it. I liked the pacing for seasons 1 and 2, a tad quick in 3, quick in 4. 5's pacing will be ridiculous. And this is in terms of how and what they invent.
I read the manga, loved it, and the spin-off for Byakuga. Hope it gets a special. Probably an hour-long special would do.

I did one before. I used a Bachmann Gandy Dancer and put a model of the mine cart on top.

We're often asked how equipment arrives at the Museum, as the historic 5.5 miles of track are isolated from any other rail lines. The answer usually involves a heavy-duty trailer and a series of cranes, but in this case all we needed was one high-tech heavy-duty trailer!
