  • For the 75th anniversary of the Railway Series, I decided to create a Hornby LBSC Thomas! I also show you how you can make your own Thomas faces, though don't allow kids to do this without your assistance, as the tools and materials could be dangerous!

    Just wanna remind the viewers watching this to be careful when removing smoke box doors on Hornby and Bachmann locos. I remember the face on my Hornby Gordon was rather stubborn, but I continued to press harder because I wanted to swap the face... The face did come off, but so did half of the smoke box. It was a pretty big shock, and it wasn't pretty. I glued it all back together, sanded, and painted it and it all looks fine again, but just a reminder to be very careful with these sort of old delicate models. Some of the Hornby Thomas loco (from my experience, depends on the era) have stronger glue used on the faces, as they were advertised as "toys".

    I actually like your "silver surfer" and "smokebox-like" faces. The former is reminiscent of the illustrations from the books rather than the television show (where the faces were slightly darker), and the smokebox style one makes him look like various "Other Railway" locomotives, such as the one seen in the illustration in the Foreward for "Stepney the Bluebell Engine" - assuming you have the "complete collection" book, anyway.

    11:47 I've had that idea myself, but I did it on a 3D model and not an actual toy.

    seeing the "dark faced" thomas reminded me of a show broacast in the early sixties (may be some of your older viewers might remember) called the b&w minstrell show, take away todays obsession for political correction it was , like your show, hugely entertaining in a very positive way.

    Sam back in 19 hundred and frozen to death my father took me to the model railway exhibition in central hall London. We spent ages talking to a wonderful old gent who was operating a layout. I was about nine or ten. He said to me would you like a go I of course said yes. The gent was Rev. Wilbert Audrey the layout was Sodor! Well from that moment I was hooked and now 50 or so years later I still am. Who would have thought Thomas would get this big.
