How they're drawn

Each drawing starts from photographs of the real train and is drawn from scratch as vector artwork, straight on, on the same canvas as the rest of the set, so any two stand side by side.

Operator logos are left off, and number boards and destination screens are left blank, ready for whatever your train is running as.

They're the drawings you'll find in the RailQuest and RunBuddy apps.
