Absolutely mate. Each Saturday was a treat for me: Camberwick-Green-and-Trumpton or Thunderbirds, or Stingray

[KevinD]

Oh, well found. That would be a big one! Probably quite hard to find, but you never know.

quick question, how do you go about making the clothes for your puppet replicas? i’ve gotten one of those little wooden figurines and i’d like to try my hand at making peter

Hi, I cut the clothes out of felt, using the figure as a guide. I then sew them with a sewing machine. You can also superglue felt if you don't want to sew but be aware, felt reacts exothermically with superglue so it can get really hot (I actually generated smoke when making Parsley from The Herbs!).
The felt will stretch a bit so you can get it over the hands and feet when dressing the figure.

thanks! also, it's a bit unrelated to props and such, but i don't think I ever mentioned that a while ago a friend managed to acquire the entire soundtrack of the trilogy, including the instrumental tracks. I've compiled it all in a google drive for anyone interested to listen to! Trumptonshire Tunes - Google Drive
