The World of Thomas The Tank Engine Modelling: Splatter & Dodge

Splatter & Dodge - OO Projects!

The long awaited OO/HO projects of Splatter and Dodge begin tomorrow, both characters are being made using the Bachmann 'Thomas' Devious Diesel locomotives and will use the Hornby 'Arry and Bert faces (which are actually Splatter and Dodge's faces anyway).
Bachmann's Diesel is a perfect donor for them, simple and easy to render, they will both be made to look just like the Magic Railroad movie models.

They are both good looking models, and sadly, there are no 'ready to run' models of these pair of forgotten engines, they were turned into 'Arry and Bert after featuring in the Magic Railroad film in 2000 when the Thomas the Tank Engine TV Series returned for a Sixth Series in 2002.

Whilst they aren't classified as the most intelligent of characters, they are a comical pair, and it's a real shame that they have gone unnoticed for so long since the movie.

The paints for them have been retained from a local retailer, so it's just the wait for them to arrive now, which should hopefully be by tomorrow or Wednesday for certain! :)

It's actually been said that Splatter and Dodge never returned from production of TATMR.
If the pair are up for voicing, I'd like to audition for them! (Well, audition for Splatter. My brother would audition for Dodge.)

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.
