Hey guys.

Just performed this mod yesterday after some.. remedial classes a while back at school.. and now I'm back once again. And school is over so, I decided to do this mod on my Thomas Tank Engines.

Spray painting their traction rods with chrome silver. They look so realistic Big Grin

Oh yeah.. I removed the white paint on my 1992 TOMY Thomas because.. I won't get confused by the 2012/2014 of the latest version.

Your Japanese version of Thomas looks even better with the black spokes and silver siderods!

How do you paint the spokes without anything else? I don't think I can cut masking tape thin enough to cover the right parts!

Since it is so smooth, it doesn't look like a permanent marker either. My theory is that he painted the wheels all black but scraped off the paint from the rims, spokes and siderod holders.

It's simple. I just use a black felt-tip marker

It doesn't matter if I mess up the loco's rims.. :3
