I've looked into it. But decided against it, for two reasons:
1) It'd take most of a year if not longer to do so, considering how many models I've made. This would delay STMY videos.
2) With just a few changes to the config file, the models are backwards compatible down to TRS2012.
You'll see 😉
Yeah, that's been tweaked so that she was running under her GNR number.
Benson was number 13 - he asked for that number as he likes it, thinks it's lucky.
The number 11 spot was being kept open for Molly. When it became clear she wasn't coming back, they gave it to another engine.
Thank you to @planetkid32.bsky.social for making Janet's faces.
Faces made by yours truly. 😉
He's number 1436 - runs under his GWR number.

Janet is completed. I'll be doing a series of videos about how I made her, most likely after season 3 of #STMY. #TTTE
That's what I thought too, then I realised I could use that to squeeze in an extra couple of engines.
He's wearing his GWR number.
Yeah, that's Neville.
That's not a bad idea. Could throw in some Scottish slang.
Further information. Janet is a LNER K2, one from the Scottish region, with an extra window cab. When her class were being withdrawn, her crew hid her in a barn. Decades later, when British Rail was disbanded, they contacted the Fat Controller about restoring her. #STMY #TTTE
She's an LNER K2, one from the Scottish region - hence the extra window cab.

This is Janet, a new character who'll be introduced in #STMY. She's based at Barrow along with Neville and Caden, and is the NWR's current no. 11.
I'm using Bandicam to record my modelling of her, and will be doing a multi-part video series showing my techniques for modelmaking.

I'm also planning to release two episodes of the season in one go, with one of those 'nameboard' sequences between them like on the old VHS tapes. Been wanting to do that for years.
#STMY Season 3 was originally going to be 9 episodes long. It'll now be 13. I may need to do another casting call for the extra 4 episodes. (Including a reworked 'Harbour Engines')
As for why an odd number, it's because season 2 finished on an odd number and this will get it back to even. #ttte
