A bit of a smaller update this time, but it's still an important one!
I finished off Thomas' new running plate design and also designed some buffers for him! I also placed an order for them from Shapeways, along with a couple other finishing features, so once the order gets here (probably in a couple of weeks), I'll be able to start getting Thomas ready for a proper assembly! The buffers are also going to be made of brass, which will hopefully be a better material than plastic!

I also painted Thomas' 1 on his left side, and I'll be preparing to do his right side soon.

That's all for now, but hopefully soon I'll have some more updates!
