The World of Thomas The Tank Engine Modelling: Improvement on Arthur

Sunday 18 March 2012

Improvement on Arthur

Well, after a lot of careful work, it looks as though i have had to build a whole new front running plate for Arthur, which isn't a bad thing really IMO, makes room for much needed improvements, and after some careful time and work cutting, filing and gluing, the new buffer beam, is now much better than the original.

Looking at TV references above for the running plate, I've been able to adapt one to suit my model using what styrene sheets i had available, and so far, i am pleased with the results of the work done.

Steps and vacuum pipes are the only things left to add before i prime and paint the new running plate, overall though, i think it looks great, especially for this class of LMS engine.

The World of Thomas The Tank Engine Modelling is an online model railway community that specializes in modelling Thomas the Tank Engine characters from the hit television and railway series in scales OO/HO, N, O, G and 009. The community was established in early January 2012, after a brief long discussion with fellow modellers from sites the likes of YouTube, Bachmann and Facebook e.t.c.

The idea was to create a small but manageable community, where modellers alike could come and share their interest in modelling Thomas & Friends. Through the building and development of the community forum, came the community blog, which was then created, followed shortly by our very own YouTube channel and Facebook Community Page and Group!

Although we are a small community, we pride ourselves to model with joy, and model to the best standards we can achieve, we welcome criticism, so that we can work on making the models better and much more accurate.

We have a friendly few staff members, who are always willing to lend a hand and give advice where needed, and we do advise that new members looking to join the community, please use 100% accurate information when filling out the registration form. False and misleading information is not tolerated, neither is bullying, harassment or any other kinds of racial behavior, no matter what the age or gender of individuals.

The World of Thomas The Tank Engine Modelling accepts no responsibility for the loss of account information, passwords and all other data. We have strict rules about accounts, and we will remove any and all accounts that are used by persons who have not registered in the correct manor, this means users giving out account information to persons unregistered to the boards, to gain access to threads and content posted by our users!

We are always willing to help new modellers with works in progress, and always happy to give advise and tips where necessary. We hope that you will all enjoy being part of our Facebook Community group as well as our community forum.
