Rusty, Momma McCoy, Greaseball, and Electra.

I know the Non-Replica productions tend to be Different. And I do like some of the revival's designs. However, some of them missed the mark imo. So I'll be tinkering with the designs, trying to keep what I feel works, without the regular show's guidelines (mostly).

Yep, That’s Me.

your probably wondering.. how I ended up in this situation?

Well… It All Started When I Got Added To Pablos Story-

[trainfanz]

One of my favorite little (unintentional) Starlight details is the costume builders taking John Napier’s design drawings just a LITTLE too literally.

So starting with OLC Electra here, you can see ‘AIL’ prominently displayed on one of their shoulder pads. Is this an abbreviation or something? Nope, not at all.

[More after the cut!]

When creating the costumes, John Napier seemingly cut up images of trains and placed pieces on the human silhouette as seen with Electra below. 

The ‘AIL’ actually comes from an image of Canadian Pacific diesel locomotive (3018) with the old CP Rail branding along it’s side. The number and the remainder of the loco can be seen incorporated into his legs.

Evidently the costume builders assumed these were part of the design rather than Napier simple trying to add additional train details.

This is the same reason Espresso (the Italian train) ended up with the logo for Via Rail Canada prominently on his chest - an aspect of his design that was there in 1984 and is still there in the 2018 rewrites!

Napier used an image of a Via Rail LRC locomotive for the chest region, and you can see the colors were even put onto the original costume. Also note the Baltimore and Ohio diesel engine worked into his arms which did not end up on the costume.

Now you know!

If we're lucky, today is the day I complete my Starlight Express model freight cars set, and the day I get Electra the Eletric Engine's full model set
