Backdating Bachmann's Thomas the Tank Engine

I seem to have adopted a different kind of "backdating" Thomas. I got the curve in the running plate to match on both sides, which was the most important thing (to me), before getting it put together.

I also made a start on the cab windows, which are based on Reginald Payne's illustrations. I glued the sides together temporarily to drill the holes for the window. It's rough at the moment, but it will be worked on more.




And here's a picture showing what it looks like now (kind of) and what's left of the Bachmann model.
