Custom TOMY Thomas (1992) & Lady (2000) - FinnTDKMC - 02-20-2016

I went into some rare antique shops/stores, and I found some rare TOMY trains on the shelf which is Thomas and Lady, and also came with a Tar Tanker (which I'll show it you guys next time.)

And once I put a battery on Thomas, the compartment is clean but the motor didn't respond so I had a tough time fixing his motor by the negative terminal, and it worked fine. Smile But it depends on the battery's power that runs it and it still has resistance performance.

Same goes to Lady, but a faster runner. Sadly, she had her coupling jointer broken.

Here are the links to my engines:

And I done some custom details to them as well, a bit of a bonus Smile

Thomas' Details:
-Painted his running board white, including his lamp
-Painted his traction/connecting rods silver, even his coupling jointer
-Added eyebrows (when I bought it, he doesn't have eyebrows. Except one has stayed on, so I added some using a felt tip black marker. It took me a lot of attempts for this eyebrows, but it's easy to use my thumb for a rub.)
-Colored his boiler stripes with a red marker, and his coal bunker outlined with felt tip black marker
-Painted his buffers black with Dong-A Poster Paint, showing a matte texture-like look
-Added some black outlines on his outer layer of his rims by the wheels.
(Later on i'll add yellow color to his cab window outlines.)

Lady's Details:
-Just added the black outline on her outer layer of her rims by the wheels.

You could've repainted Lady's lamps gold, like on her actual model. Don't recall seeing anyone do it to their TOMY/TrackMaster Ladies before.

What paint did you use for the white running plate?

DONG-A White Poster Paint

It washes right off, but sadly I took it off.
